Tlae Two Candidates.

Both the democratic and re-
publican conventions did good
work in their nominations for
mayor. The democratic NOM
inee, Mr.. M. O'Connor, is a man
who has been identified with
the railroad Interests of the
city for the past fifteen years,
having been foreman of the
railroad boiler shops during
most Of that time. For six
years he has been a member Of
the council from the third
ward and has made a satisfac-
tory record in that position. If
he is elected mayor he will
serve the people faithfully and
do his duty as he sees it under
the law. The republican nom
inee, Mr.. j. j. Amen, has been
identified with the business in
terests of the city for the past
ten years as president of the
Valley bank, and for four years
has been a member of the
council from the first ward.
He is a conservative business
man and if he is elected
will give the city of Missouri
Valley a good, conservative
business administration, not
being radical in the enforce
ment of the laws, but asking
every man to obey the ordin-
ances of the city as they appear
in the ordinance books. Mo.
Valley is sure of a good admin
istration for the next two years,
no matter which candidate is
elected. The candidates for
alderman on each ticket are
good men and any of them will
fill the position acceptably to
the people. The fight will not
be a political one but will be
determined on the personal
feelings of the voter regardless
of politics.

The republicans of Des
Moines are talking of refusing
to nominate Jim Brenton mayor
of Des Moines because he wears
red socks. Jim used to go with
out socks until he was elected
mayor of Des Moines, and of
course being a new thing to him
he didn't know what kind to
select. The republicans should.
forgive James and elect him
again and he may conclude to
wear green socks during the
next term.

The dove of Peace has once
more gained standing room at
California junction, the scene
of the encounter between the
North Western section men and
the farmers of that locality,
night before last, but just how
long the harbinger of peace and
quietude is to remain is mighty
uncertain.
The two hundred yard strip
of rail road track remains in
exactly the same position in
which the farmers placed it
Sunday morning. All section
men have been ordered to their
districts and the farmers
returned to their respective
homes, but like Lucius
Quintius Cincinnatus of cd,
they live with one ear in

An unregenerated editor
moralizes as follows: How few
of us are really our own boss!
The married men are subject to
their wives, the bachelors obey
their landlady, old maids cater
to their cats and poodles, while
all of us bow to that weak
thing called public opinion.
We come into this world with
out our consent, leave it against
protest, and while here kick at
everything that crosses our
path, but all to no purpose.
The old world goes on, not car
ing whether we live or die,
laugh or cry, shout or sigh, not
caring a farthing why, till we
turn up our heels and die, and
then maybe we freeze or fry.

 Not so that you could notice it. re- piled the desk sergeant, you walk or you don't get bed.''
 But Ernester knew system worth two of the sergeant's, and he vanished from the view of that odicer-just for minute.
 A crash just outside of the station aroused seven policemen, the lieutenant and several hundred nnsuspecting neigh bors. who rushed to the street armed for a battle.

CHICAGO, Aug, 20 Continuing their irresistible golf, the visiting OK ford and Cambridge amateurs took their fourth big match since they ar rived in the United States by defeating the all Chicago team on the Glenview Golf club links to 4. Weather condi- tions and the course were ideal for rec ord breaking golf, but there was an ab- sence of brilliant performances, al- though the Englishmen, who succeeded in capturing their matches, earned their victories handily by superior short game play. Throngs followed the matches all day.
