OVER 600 LIVES LOST.

Full particulars were recently receiv-
ed from the Samoan islands in regard
to the terrible hurricane which visited
those islands and In which over 600
lives were lost. Such a loss Is appall-
ing, but after all Is not to be compar-
ed with the numbtr Of persons who
have lost their lives from Indigestion
dyspepsia and constipation and other
stomach troubles. The number has,
however, been considerably reduced
since the introduction OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, 90 years ago, because
it positively cures all such ailments.
Your life and health are too precious
to experiment with, therefore try this
famous remedy first Of all and be cured
at once. 1t won't disappolnt you. The
genuine has our private stamp over the
] eek of The bottle.

count of the short season and the
consequent difficulty in getting seed
which is fully matured. In a season
like the present these conditions
hold good over larger area than
usual.
Most of the corn is in the field at
the present time and, if not imma-
ture, it at least contains large per
centage of moisture, If this moist
corn is left in it's present condition
until after cold weather the freezing
will kill a large part of-the seed and
the planting of this poor seed will
mean thin stand next year.
Where the seed corn has not al
ready been obtained, it should be Sc
lected at once. Pick out only thor
oughly matured ears or, If none can
be found that are thoroughly ma
tured, take the ripest to be had.
Husk and put in dry, well-ventilated
place kept at a temperature of from
rs to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and let
them remain there until the seed is
thoroughly dried and cured. After it
has been dried it should be stored
where it will remain reasonably dry
and cool. 1t is only when the seed
contains large percentage of moist
ure that the termination is injured
by freezing. If little trouble is
taken now in selecting and caring for
next years seed, the stand and the
consequent yield will be greatly jim
creased.
In all cases seed should be tested
for termination short time before
planting, and only such seed planted
as is found to be in the best condi-
ton. Seed tests can be made easily
and often more conveniently at home,
but the Seed Laboratory Of the Unit,
ed States Department of Agriculture,
so far as its working force will allow,
is prepared to make tests for corn
growers without charge.
Some important points to be OBJ
served are:
1. Select fully matured seed or,
at elast, the ripest that can be OBJ
tanned.
2. Bring the corn from the field
before freezing weather and keep 1t
in warm, dry place, with ample ven
tilation, until thoroughly dried.
3. Store in a dry, cool place.

THE IOWA RESULT.

Sioux City Journal: Speaking
broadly, the returns go to show that
a decided majority ct the people Of
Iowa prefer to lodge their confidence
with the republican party. They have
indicated what their attitude next
year viii DC. It appears safe to say
that they will give their Endorsement
to Theodore Roosevelt, by not less
than 100000 majority.
More specifically, it may be said
with confidence that the people Of
this state are not at all disposed to
give their support to revolution of
the tariff policy of the country. The
test in this state IN the proposition
for tariff for revenue only" may be
of some value to the democratic lead
ers of the country in formulating
their policy for the campaign of next
year. In connection with the express
sion made in Ohio, though that was
clouded by, local issues presented in
the person Of Tom Johnson, it should
be reasonably clear to the national
democratic party that the country is
not prepared to make farther expert
ment with the radicalism of 1892.
Governor Cummins has special rea-
son to be gratifed over the election
result in this state. He made a
strong canvass devoted to the essen
tial principles of the republican par
ty. He improved the opportunity
that was presented to him by tho
democratic platform and by the ini-
tial speeches Of the democratic candi-
date to take unequivocal ground in
defense Of the national policy Of the

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Following the lead of President
Roosevelt, Governor Cummins has is
sued a Thanksgiving proclamation.
In view of the recent election results
in Iowa we opine his excsllency
writ with a ready pen" when ne gave
being to the following call Of rejoic-
ing:
THE president Of the United
States has designated Thursday, the
26th of November, as the day of our
annual thanksgiving, and in accord
ance with a custom long continued
and deeply revered, I add to the pro-
clamation of the president a message
especially directed to the. people Of
this commonwealth.
"Ours liz a nation and ours state
that recognize the hand of God in
human affairs, and the day set apart
for the expression of our gratitude to
Divine Providence for the good
things which have been bestowed up
on us ought to be a day Of soleinuity
as well as of thanksgiving. The year
just passed has been full OF peace,
prosperity and plenty. The rewards
of faithful labor have increases, pro-
duction has multiplied, business has
been steady and profitable, and the
public health has been unimpaired.
For all these things we are grateful,
but we are, and ought to be, still
more grateful for the growth in the
quality of our citizenship, for the
keener appreciation OF It's privileges
and responsibilities, and for the ris.
ing hope that whatsoever may be the
difficulties presented by the clashing
interests Of an unparalleled develop
ment and the great problems OF a
complex civilization they will be over
come. Each day II becomes clearer
to the world that great people can
be free, patriotic, wise and just.
Now, therefore, I, Albert b. Cum
Minis, governor OF the state Of Iowa,
do hereby appoint Thursday. the
twenty-sixth day OF November, 1903,
as day Of praise and thanksgiving.
and earnestly recommend that,
throughout the state, the people sus-
pend their ordinary work and deyote
themselves. in such manner as their
conscience may direct. TO praise and
thankfulness to Almighty God for the
innumerable blessings which have
fallen upon us.
I'm testimony whereof have hero.

republican party in behalf Of protec-
ton for American industries. What
he had said in other campaigns in
behalf Of tariff notifications, where
experience had demonstrated the
need of such notifications, and his
outspoken friendship for the policy
of reciprocity, where that policy could
be introduced to the advantage of our
hCme markets, provoked no resent
ment Of appreciate character among
the electors of this state. That is a
fact of some significance to the party
at large. The republicans of Iowa
believe in the policy of protection,
They believe in the principle of pro.
lection. They are decidedly in favor
of doing our business to the extent
possible at home. This preference
runs to the matter of changing tariff
rates, where they may require chang
ing, by the friends of the protective
principle. 1t does not follow that
exception may not be taken to some
VI thS SuSSOoIdOho IuS SONCihOI hds
fathered. But this is lodged with
the people Of this state, that the tar
iff should not be employed otherwise
than for the common welfare.
1t is not anticipated that the con
gress now in session will do any"tar
if ripping" There is no republican
sentiment here in behalf of any bust
ness of that kind pending the deter
mination of the presidential contest
already Mt hand. The republicans in
this slate, and in other states, are
willing to go to the country on the
record the party has made. They are
willing to go to the country in sup
port of the protective policy.
