To the progressive farmers OF Du-
bois county and all such who are
interested in the best methods OF
farming, ths following remarks are
addressed.
Your chairman is in re ceipt OF a
letter from H. +. McMahan, secre-
tary Of the Indiana Corn Growers
Association, in which he expresses
a desire to have the contents OF the
same made known through the
local press.
The association, together with the
help Of Prof. w. G. Latta, OF Pur-
due University, has arranged to
hold a corn sch,o and stockmen's
convention at Lafayette, Ind, Jan.
rs to 81, inclusive. In other parts
of this country such schools are
very popular and are doing much
good to those who will take an in
terest in them. We must take
part in work Of that nature ii we
wish to keep pace with the best,
most progressive and up to date
methods Of this age; methods that
will bring a handsome profit on the
farm as we'll as in all other profes-
siOns.
At this meeting all phases OF corn
breeding and seed selection, cultiva-
ton and harvesting will be discuss
ed. The most popular breeds OF
cattle and hogs will be the subject
of number OF lectures along the
lines of breeding, buying, grazing,
feeding and marketing. We quote
the following from the letter:
"Prof. A. d. Shamel, OF Wash
ington, d. c., recently Of the Uni
versity OF Illinois, one Of the most
popular speakers and best inform.
ed writers on corn in the United

A Lesson 10 Politics.

"But why should the Govern-
ment buy up its own bonds at one
hundred and thirty-eight, when
these may be redeemed at their face
value at maturity"
ITO relieve the financial string
ency my son."
"What causes financial stringen-
cy, father?"
1.-THE plain people getting Wall
Streets money away from it,"
"And the bond purchaser"
"The bond purchase restores the
equilibrium. With the Government
paying one dollar and thirty-eight
cents of the plain peoples money
for every dollar they owe Wall street,
safe financial conditions are speedi-
ly re-established."

The American Soldier.

The American soldier in the ranks
has brains. 1t used to be thought
that a soldiers only duty was to
obey specific orders to the letter.
The American soldier, says a writer
in McClure's Magazine, is suppos-
ed to think. The result is that
where three orders would be neces-
sary TO obtain certain result with
a platoon OF Russian peasants, the
American soldier requires but one,
and infers the other two.

King Edward and Queen Alexandra
Arrive at Belfast.


Belfast, July 28-The welcome ex.
tended to King Edward and Queen
Alexandra at the capital of Ulster was
marked by the same enthusiasm which
mas followed their progress through
Ireland. The city was deliberately
decorated and thronged with sight
seers and the streets were lined by
10000 troops, 1000 bluejackets and
5000 police. The lord mayor and cor.
poration awaited their majesties at the
station and presented them with an
address Upwards of fifty other ad-
dresses were presented on the same
occasion. The royal procession was
then formed and traversed the streets
to the city hall. where the king un-
veiled statue erected in honor Of
Queen Victoria.
The reception which their majesties
met with everywhere was most en-
thusiastic.
After the unveiling their majesties
lunched with the lord mayor and visit
ed the agricultural show at Balmoral.
Later they went to Bangor. where their
reception was most demonstrative.
About /, 400 children sang the national
anthem
The Channel fleet saluted as their
majesties embarked on the royal yacht
Victoria and Albert, on which they
will proceed to Londonderry.
A serious accident occurred while
their majesties were subsequently
driving to the Victoria hospital. A
peasant woman succeeded in passing
the Gordon of troops and rushed to-
wards the royal carriage. She was
knocked down and, falling beneath the
wheels, was badly injured. She was
taken to the hospital.

Caring for the Injured.
O. b. Johnson of Minneapolis, the
conductor of the passenger train,
proved himself a hero. Though his
nose had been broken when he was
thrown against the door of car and
his face was bleeding from many cuts
he refused to be treated by the two
physicians who were on the train and
went about helping those who were
injured.
The two doctors who happened to be
on the train were M. l.. Goodkind of
Chicago who was coming to st. Paul
on a visit, and his companion, DR..
Hammond, a British army surgeon,
who served in the Boer war.
With tablecloths, sheets and ban
dages they went about, giving first aid
to the injured. They worked desper-
ately and were shortly assisted by DR..
Thinsen of Hayfeld, five miles away.
and DR.. Ransom of Dodge Center.
The injured were placed in the cars
which had not been demolished. In
short time a special arrived from ST.
Paul. bringing two physicians from
that city.
The dead and injured were placed
on this train, which arrived In ST.
Paul about 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon. Most of those who had been
cut or bruised were taken to ST.
Joseph's hospital and given temporary
relief, after which they were dis
charged. Minneapolis residents were
carried to that city in the special,
which also bore the body of Charles
Merkert. the passenger engineer.
The body of Heton, the only pas
senger who was killed, was taken to
his home at Dodge Center.
