Where the Blame Lies.

Members Of the Woodman order
are justly indignant over the an
nouncement that W. A. Northcott,
late its head officer, has been fitted
out by the executive council with the
Office OF past head consul at q salary
of 1000 a year. They state that he
has been engaged to write history of
the order, to revise the ritual, and to
deliver addresses in behalf of the or.
ganization. The order has disclosed
some rank wire pulling in the past,
but this caps them all. No insurance
fraternity can survive such methods,
either.-Waukon Democrat.
The members are to blame for it.
Why don't they send trustworthy
men to state and head camps-men
who will do their duty, fearlessly, for
the good of the order?- Elkader DEM

position Not Putting Obstacles
I'm Way of State Fair.

The Iowa Louisiana Purchase exposi.
ton commission is not opposed to hav-
ing the Iowa state fair held next year,
although there is an impression to the
contrary. Secretary F. r. Conway was
asked to define the attitude of the COM
missioners on this question, which must
in a few months be settled by the d.
rectory board of the state department
Of agriculture. Mr.. Conway said:
All this talk about the Iowa COM
mission urging the abandonment Of the
state fair next year because Of the
worlds exposition at st. Louis, is not
only embarrassing to the commissioners,
but an unkindness to the department of
agriculture through which SO many IA
vors have been received and upon which
must they rely for many exhibits. The
Iowa commission have never expressed
desire that next years state fair be
postponed. In fact, there have been
expressions from individual members
that the fair should be held and from it
the best exhibits secured to replenish
the exhibits In the agricultural and hor-
ticultural line, which will by the first OF
September need to be renewed. The
work Of the Iowa commission, as uh-
derstand it, is to exhibit Iowa's prod
-ucts and to see that Iowa's interests are
represented. They have no desire to
come in competition or to interfere in
any way with established institutionslike
the state fair. President Mckinley said
that "Expositions are the time keepers
Of progress" and he meant fairs as
well. The Iowa state fair has become
the greatest in the country and to re-
quest the management to abandon the
fair for one year would be discourte-

Of Secretary Hays imperative note, the

highly humiliating even by those sup

who under the circumstances deemed 1t
incumbent to reject the treaty unani-

the United States be willing to enter into

Is not spasmodic, but carefully planned.
Travellers from Panama to Puenta
Arenas say that in Panama it is reported
that Gen. Herrera has disappeared from
his home near Bogota, and is presumed
to be on his way to the isthmus. If
this is true Herrera probably will again
assume command of the revolutionary
forces and cast his lot with the isthmian
people, as was his intention had the late
revolution terminated in favor of the
liberal party.
Gen. Victoniano Lorenzo, who was
banished to Goucau after the surrender
of the liberal forces last December, has
escaped and is presumed to be in the
marshes making his way back to the
isthmus. Lorenzo had 1000 Indians in
his following. and it is believed he will

the Distinction of Possessing
Three Wonderful Structures.
Especial correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
Boone county has the distinction Of
having two Of the three most remark
able bridges in this country, while Web
ster county, just north Of it has the third.
In Boone county there is the famous
bridge built few years ago by the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad across the
valley Of the Des Moines river. North Of
Boone is bridge more remarkable than
this structure, even. 1t has been built
by the Newton & Northwestern road, an
Independent line running from Newton
to Rockwell City. 1t is so feet high and
300 feet long, and is built entirely Of
wood. It was impossible to get steel
when the structure was first erected.
Therefore wood was used. It Is thought
that this will last for eight or nine years,
and then steel may be used to replace It..
Given a Mill Dam.
The university at Iowa City has re-
ceived the gift of deed from Mr.. and
Mrs. Euclid Sanders, of Terril, to the
mill dam in the Iowa river, mile north
of the campus property, and which is
worth several thousand dollars. This

have had in progress for months. The
university will erect water power
plant where the mill stood and install
hydraulic laboratory, which will be a
feature of the school Of applied science.

Honey Crop Increased.

not run properly; If not true. the man
ayers are done an injustice. In any
event the Humane society believes
that il the state board Of control were
empowered by the law to appoint Wis
itors and inspectors to watch these In
situations the complaints would cease
and abuses would be remedied. The
farms are homes kept by persons in
the big cities of the state where unfor-
tunate women are able to leave their
infants. Sad cases of cruelty to both
women and children have been re.
ported to the Humane society.
