TROUBLE IN THE OATS.

/
| A hitherto unheard of condition pre-
walls in the oats fields of this county
About a week ago it was noticed in here
and there Il field that some of the
leaves We're turning a deep red color.
1t was at first thought that it was rust
but an examination proved that such
was not the case. as there was nothing
on the leaves that could be rubbed
Off. The disease or whatever it may be,
has since spread rapidly, until now
quite large proportion of the oat fields
of the county are affected with it, and
in those in which it first made its APP
pearance there are few green leaves
left. G. w. Young has a forty-acre
field on his farm, south of Jesup that
he believes has been completely ruined.
The whole field presents a deep red
appearance, and there is no grain in the
heads. Whether there is parasite at
work in the fields or what is the cause
of this unusual condition. no one is
able to say. Whatever it may be, it is
now seriously menacing the oats crop
OF the county.

CHARACTER VS.. RICHES.

1t is always an interesting event In
any community when a governor comes
to address an audience. A man who
possesses abilities conspicuous enough
to elevate him to the governorship of a
great state OF several million people
may be presumed to have something TO
say that is worth hearing. Particularly
is this so of Governor Cummins, and
the fact Is not unknown beyond the
borders of his state, SO it was that the
old soldiers of the Iowa Soldiers Home
and visiting veterans from Des Moines
and Grinnell, Friday. listened to
some new ideas ably stated by the

The Iowa republican platform is,
at least professedly satisfactory to
stand patters" and progressives."
Whatever may be said as to it's stand
pattiveness it is certainly all a pro-
gressive anti-fossilizator could desire.
1t gives the latter all possible liberty
of revision advocacy without question
as to party soundness. The stand pat
ter may stand pat until he takes root
If he chooses but he can't cry demo
crat" to a fellow republican who may
choose occasionally to shake the USE
less dust of the past from his apparel.
The platform is a good one, it is also
broad. 1t is big enough for some pref
ty big men. 1t is big enough for
Allison and Blythe and it is also big
enough for Cummins and Perkins. The
state never had better.

PLATFORM COMMENTS.
GSnirit Lake Herald

Naturally the papers have been full
last week, Of discussions concerning the
platform that was adopted at the
Des Moines convention. With but
few exceptions, the platform meets
the hearty approval of republicans.
There are few like LATE Young and
the Cedar Rapids Republican that are
bound to knock on somebody anyhow
and they We're equally bound that some
knocks should be registered in the plat
form. That none appear is matter of
great disappointment.
We like to see men and papers stand
up for their principles but doing so does
not always prove that the principles are
right. That is the point our friend

attempt to mimic and Insult him. Slut

an explanation and the clerk spluttered
an apology. This added insult broke
down the last barrier of the old mans
self-control and he closed desperately
with the offender on the floor of the
shop. The bystandars, friends of both
parties, managed between paroxysms
of merriment to separate the combat

TARIFF REVISION THE SUM.

IUppeF LeS MOIheS RepuDIlCan.I
The sum Of the republican tariff
plank is that there should be tariff re-
vision from time to time, in harmony
with the requirements of protection.
and that the result should be ideal
conditions. If there is anybody to OBJ
ject to that the congressman may in
cline TO do so. He has to help do the
job. Fortunately, he is the man who
will not dare to disturb the existing
harmony. Our senators for their part
are serene, as they reflect that all rev.
enue bills must originate in the house.

THE COUSINS SPEECH.


Congressman Cousins did what he
could to destroy the entente cordiale
of the republican state convention
and did it with malice prepense. This
exhibition of malignity on his part
naturally is condemned by many pub
lie men and by numerous newspapers
of the state. Now comes LATE Young
of the Capital. who defends Cousins.
and reads his critics lesson in cour-
tesy and good manners. Since the
elimination of the shelter to monop-
oily brought about by the efforts of the
valiant LATE. he should wear his hon
ors modestly and quit knocking. Get
a new liver pad that will enable him
to get on good terms with himself and
the party that has honored him so
often in the past. and is willing to
recognize him in the future accord
ing to his desserts.

cuMMINs FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

dubuque IlrneS.J
Governor Cummins has been pro-
posed in the press off and on for over
year past. His name has naturally
been suggested because he is the gov
ernor of great republican state, a
resident of Louisiana territory, whose
purchase is to be celebrated the COM
ing presidential year. citizen of the
great trans Mississippi empire, repre-
sentative of the west and of it's liberal
sentiment on the tariff question, pub
lie man in favor with both the agri-
cultural and industrial classes. Finally,
he has been proposed because he is an
accomplished public speaker, few men
in public life being better qualified
to win the favor of popular audiences.
AS the candidate for second place on
the ticket he would make a glittering
campaign and enlarge his popularity
and fame. For all these reasons his
name is naturally mentioned whenever
the subject of the vice presidency is
Under discussion.

French Women Of Fashion.

The French woman of fashion is
most careful that every detail of her
costume should perfectly harmonic.
Stockings, shoes, petticoat, gloves and
ihandkerchiefs have long been chosen
with this end in view, but this summer
has added jewelry. Especially must
the summer girl exercise care in the
selection of the long chains of real or
imitation stones which adorn her
neck. She must either keep to linn
ited range of color in her gowns, or
else have an unlimited supply of
chains. These made from the imita.
tlon stones are quite as pretty as
their more expensive prototypes, so
that they win be widely worn. At the
jewelry counters can be seen anxious
women who are trying to match dress
materials with the shimmering bead
chains. 1t is not an easy task. AS
one shopper said, 81 think that in the
future | will buy my chains first and
my dresses afterwards"

In Favor Of Sheen,

Sheep have a way of utilizing by.
products which no other animals seem
to have, says publication of the
Iowa Agricultural College. OF the
four or five hundred different plants
which may be found In any locality,
sheep will eat all but a very small
percentage, while cattle and other
stock will touch only little over one
half. Even II sheep are turned into
an ideal pasture they will now and
then nibble at the weeds; extermina-
ton Of the weeds results. When the
grain is harvested and taken from
the field the place for the sheep Is
in the stubble. Rose bushes, Wild
buckwheat and the weeds and grasses
to be found in the fence corners and
fence rows fall victims to them and
furnish fall feed, thereby fulfilling q
two-fold purpose for their owners;
that Of destroying these pests and
converting these waste products into
good mutton and wool. The lamb
crop may be fattened and developed in
the corn fields in the fall. II at the
last cultivation of the corn Dwarf
Essex rape is planted between the
rows in the moist soil 1t will make
very rapid growth and by weaving
time 1t will be ready for the lambs.
Old sheep cannot be turned in this
way because they will pull down the
corn; lambs, however, will do no dam
age, but on the other hand they will
eat much of the pigeon grass and
other weeds.

and have used Postum instead ever
since. My family at first called me a
