FARMERS WILL PAY BIG PRICE.
Binding Irvine Big Item This Year
in HarVestinq Expenses.

~.
The indications are that the farmer
this year will have to pay pretty
stiff price for his binding Irvine. En-
quiries of all the local dealers elicit
the information that none of them at
the present time are making price.
They are making contracts for the sale
of the Irvine upon the basis of price
to be named on April 1, and guaranteed
only during the month of May. One
of the dealers has received orders from
headquarters to make no contracts
at all until further orders. The only
further stipulation in the contracts in
regard to the price has been that the
figure to be named April /, shall be as
low as that named by any other deal
er in the same grade of Irvine. 1t is
generally agreed that the price this
year will be trifle higher than it was
last. A majority OF the dealers say
that II cents will probably be the
starting figure, although one does not
believe that the price will be below IA
cents per pound. There is plenty OF
stock on hand to supply the demand
The delay in making the price seems
to be simply that the trust has not We,
decided what charge it can safely make
during the coming season.

A CIVIL WAR RELIC.
Colors of Seventh Iowa Donated to
Grant Monument Association.
MAJOR SAMUEL MAHON THE DONOR
The Flag Carried by the Regiment at
Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh
and corinth Will Soon Be Seen in
Grant Monument.

The colors of the Seventh Iowa in
fantry, which have been in the posses
sion of Major Samuel Mahon, OF this
city, for nearly forty years, are soon to
leave the city to be deposited IN the
Grant monument at Morning Side
park, New York City. The colors are
greatly priced by the members OF the
regiment and when the veterans of the
Seventh held their biennial reunion
here last fall the old flag of the regi-
ment, which was followed through the
engagements OF Fort Henry, Fort Dom
elson, Shiloh, Iuka and Corinth,
brought back many remembrances to
the men who fought side by side for
the preservation of the union. Major
Mahon has presented the colors to the
Grant Monument association to add to
the collection OF the flags of Grants
regiment in the monument.
Flag Was Replaced After Corinth.
After the engagement at Corinth the
flag became SO faded and weather
beaten that the colors were scarcely
distinguishable, and the regiment drew
new stand from the government. The
old colors fell into the hands of Colonel
Elliot w. Rice. who was then in COM
mand Colonel Rice kept them until
his promotion to be brigadier general,
some eighteen months later, when he
turned them over to Major Samuel Ma
hon, who had succeeded to the COM
mand of the regiment.
Carried Until Close of War.
Major Mahon carried them until the
close of the war. and has since care
fully preserved them. When he was in
New York last fall, the major visited
the Grant monument in Morning Side
park, and saw quite number Of the
flags of Grants regiments deposited
there. He was informed by Colonel
Middleton, the custodian Of the monu-
ment, that it was difficult to obtain
these flags because of the reluctance of
the states to give them up.
Knowing that General Greenville M.
Dodge, formerly of Iowa, but now of
New York City, was president of the
Grant Monument association, Major
Mahon wrote to him offering the flag
in his possession and it was gladly &C
cepted. An appropriate memoranda
showing the regiment, the engage
ments in which it was carried and the
name of the donor, Major Samuel Ma
hon has been attached to the flag and
in few days it will be forwarded to
| General Dodge. A photograph of the
/ flag and the memoranda as it will ap
pear when on exhibition in the Grant
monument, is being taken and it vii
be highly treasured by Major Major
as a souvenir of the old colors which
were so long in his possession.

the Cuban reciprocity treaty because it
will bar that country's products out of the
island. IL the opposition of Germany
should go so far as to bring about discrlm
nations against American products going
into Germany it would be unfortunate. but
if we had a maximum and minimum tariff
today we would not be disturbed over any
threat of this nature which Germany
might make. There has been more COM
plant about the high rate of duty i'm
posed upon steel and iron, and while this
is more or less justified no one in this
country has been injured to any great ex-
tent.
No Hardship.
ut may be true that American consum-
ers have paid little higher rate for the
same goods than European consumers, but
as long as the present conditions exist this
will not infiet any great loss upon any of
us. The demand for steel is equal to the
supply, and we are not suffering from an
over production, but if we should lose our
European market this condition might be
brought about. There are always com
plants about certain tariff rates being too
high, but unless they become more persist
ent than at present l do not look for re-
vision of the tariff at least until another
congress has been elected, and while the
democrats may decide to make it an issue
in the next campaign / believe the people
will stand by the republican party.
.They will want the tariff revised by
that party because they do not want the
business situation to go to smash, which
will be the result if the tariff is assailed
under democratic auspices and the country
is given another taste of the so-called dem
ocratic free trade

Why Catarrh
Needs
Attention

In addition to the many unpleasant
symptoms as bad breath, stoppage Of
by catarrh, it has great tendency to
involve the structures of the Middle
Ear and produce Catarrhal Deafness;
also, catarrhal state of the nasal and
respiratory passages threatens health
and invites diseases of more serious
character. For these reasons the mem
branes of the nasal and respiratory
tract should be placed in healthy con-
dition.
