tration nor Postmaster General Payne
will suffer from thorough ventilation
of the misdoings in the postofflce de-
partment, providing the investigation
be made complete and the punishment
of the wrongdoers proportioned to
their offenses. 1t is quite obvious
that the rottenness in the postal de-
partment is not of recent growth, and,
in any event, the finding and punish
ment of crime is not a process involv-
ing discredit. That comes through
covering up or condoning offenses,"

RELIEF FOR EppYvILLE.

1t is impossible for one who has not
experienced a flood to comprehend
the awful effects attendant upon a
great body of water being suddenly
rolled upon community. The loss of
property and valuables, however
heavy it may be, is as nothing COM
pared with the priyations and actual
sufferings that unavoidably follow.
Imagine, if you can, being suddenly
bereft of everything you possess, and
however good your credit may be, of
being unable to secure the necessaries
of life. Such was the condition that
was thrust upon the people of Eddy
vile on Sunday and which is still
staring them in the face. The strong
and well-to-do people of the town
might have pulled out and gone to
places of safety and comfort, but they
are not of that type. They stayed
with their fellow sufferers and worked
and gave of their means to those who
were not so fortunate. Their efforts
have been heroic and the spirit of car
ing for their own people has been COM
mendable. But there is a limit to all
things, and it is now time for others
to step to the front and relieve the
fighting line. Willing hands and
warm victuals are needed, and Oska-
loosa should not have to be urged to
give out of her store house of plenty
to her unfortunate neighbors. The
occasion demands action, not words of
sympathy,-bread and blankets, not
theories or discussions. Fifteen hun
dred people in and around Eddyville,
and almost within our borders, are in
need Of aid. Let the help be forth
coming.
There is no danger of OVERRIDING the
good work. Eddyville and vicinity
will need help for weeks to come. To
avoid sickness great work will have to
be done after the waters subside. Be-
fore that time there will be.need Of
donations of clothing, food and help in
many ways. The Iowa Central rail-
road has placed its trains at the SER
vice of the committees. Every per-
son in Oskaloosa should be counted
with the helpers. Don't wait for the
committee to hunt you up. See what
can be done yourself. Let there be
no hesitancy at this critical hour.

MUscATINE IN DANGER.
Water Near to Being Forced Over Le-

Muscatine, Ia, June 2.-The Missis-
sippi is sixteen feet above low water
and within one foot of danger line. In
the last twenty-four hours the river
has raised foot and the crest is ex-
pected tomorrow. Hundreds of shell
diggers have lost their shells and hun
dreds of acres of farming land is un-
der water, also three large lumber
mills and another foot of water means
the breaking of the levee and the
flooding of South Muscatine.
The levee of the Cedar river near
Cedar Valley, eight miles north OF
Muscatine, broke to-day. Hundreds
OF cattle were drowned and crops ru-
ined. Two homes were washed away
but there were no deaths. People
are carrying their household goods e

stock is being herded on the knolis'

WANT NO TINkERING.

AS far as can be seen the press and
public men of the Rocky Mountain
states do not favor any immediate
changes in our present tariff because
of the fear they have that it will tend
to check present good times. The new
west is enjoying a greater degree of
prosperity than at any time in its his
tory. Railroads are building, lands
are increasing in value and labor finds
profitable employment. The people
fear that an attempt to change eco
nomics might operate on the country
as the Wilson-Gorman bill did from
1893 to 1897.
Senator Warren, Of Wyoming,is rec
ognized as one Of the leading states
men from west of the Missouri, and in
a recent interview he said:
"The Rocky Mountain country is
strong for protection. While it is
true that there are but comparatively
few items in which that part of the
country is a beneficiary, yet you may
set the people of that country down
as 'standpatters" rather than follow
ers of the new idea, sometimes called
the Iowa idea That is, if we must
choose between those who stand pat
for the Dingle tariff, and those who be-
lieve that the tariff is breeder OF
trusts and that the schedule should be
overhauled at all events, whether by
friends or by enemies, our people
would prefer to bear the slight ills
they now have rather than to fly to
those they know not OF.
"Under the Dingley act our western
industries are in satisfactory coodi-
tion. Western sheep men, who are
talking of fifteen and twenty cent wool
this year, were glad to get fi'e to
eight cents just before the Dingley act
passed. Cattlemen. who now ge- $50
TO 800 a head for beeves marketed, Lad
to be satisfied with $40 to $35 a head
under the Wilson German act. May
be the Dingley act is not responsible
for the increase, but if not it is a CO.
incidence which we desire to have
continued for while yet. If it be
comes evident that any portion OF
the Dingley act should be modified,
have no doubt such modification will
follow. But the work will be done by
those who constructed, or at least be,
lieved in the bill, rather than by those
who sullenly accepted, but have never
sincerely supported it,"

Little Child OF Dr.. and Mrs. Munro

The little daughter of DR.. and Mrs.

by the overturning of a pan of boil
ing jelly Tuesday afternoon receiv-
ing injuries which at one time seem
ed probable would result in her
death, but fortunately such was not
the case. and the little one will re-
cover, although her escape was mar

Mrs. Munro was engaged in MAX
ing jelly and, after removing a pan
of the boiling mixture from the stove
she set it on a shelf, some distance
from the edge. and, as she supposed,
out of reach of her little girl who was
playing in the kitchen. Shortly after
wards when her back was turned she
was startled by a terrible scream,
and turning was Mortified to see the
baby with the jelly overturned on it's
neck, face and body. AS soon as
possible the steaming mixture was
removed. but not before great bills
tiers were burned in the tender flesh
of the infant. The baby's neck, one
side of it's face and body as we'll as
it's hands were badly burned. and al
though no serious results are ex-
pected. great scars will probably re-
main for some time.
DR.. Munro was hastily summoned
and rendered the necessary aid The
child is only seventeen months of age
which makes the accident all the
