REPUBLIcANlsM.

Ottumwa Courier: The republi-
cans Of Jefferson county declare with
equivocation that they are in favor
Of Metropolitan doctrines that have
been so successful in the past-pro-
lection of American industries, COM
mercial, manufacturing, and agricul-
tural, honest money and the general
welfare of the people" They ask
that the campaign of 1904 be fought
along these lines recognizing that it
is the adoption of these policies in
the national administration that has
brought success to the party in the
past, with the resulting prosperity to
all classes of Aemrican citizens.
So far as the republicans Of Jeffer-
son county are concerned they be-
lieve in the Sound republicanism." /"
They want none of the 'isms" or
ideas that have Of late been referred
to as the belief Of Iowa republicans.
They believe in the protection that
gives to the American farmer and
laboring man adequate returns for
their labor and assures American
capital reasonable returns. The de-
claration of the Jefferson county re.
publicans is but the reiteration of
the policy advocated by the republi.
cans of Keokuk county. 1t appears
evident that this Is the belief OF
Iowa republicans generally and that

REMAINS FOUND,

In an old cemetery near Washing
ton now used for cow pasture were
found the remains Of Timothy Brown,
a veteran of the Revolution, one Of
the five buried in Iowa, after a search
of many years. Timothy Brown
came to Iowa in 1S4S. He was bur-
led and all efforts to find the grave
in the past have proved of no avail.
A granddaughter, Martha Heating,
now old in years, said she could find
the grave if she could find the other
mounds where the old cemetery was
laid out. A society to be known as
the Timothy Brown American Revo-
luton association, was formed and
through the efforts of the association
the old burial ground was found and
the row of mounds located. At the

Abba Union: Major Lacey t

Abba Union: Major Lacey told
a good story at Lovilia last week
which brings up afresh the old ques-
tion whether it is proper to say "a
pair Of twins" He made the state
ment that in certain family in Ar
kansas there were three pairs of
twins. Their names by sets were
first: Max and Climax, the second
was Kate and Duplicate, and the third
was Peter and Repeater. We are
still in doubt as to whether to say
"a pair of twins"

Commenting on the Register and
Leaders recent statement that ut
will be a mistake to introduce into
any congressional contest in Iowa
the question of endorsement or nom
endorsement of the phraseology Of
any state platform" the Fairfield
Ledger says: THE better way, but
the Register and Leader could not
see it, would have been to have no
phraseology in state platforms which
admitted of different interpretations.
Whatever the disposition Of the Reg
lister and Leader now, 1t cannot undo
all the mischief which has already
been done. Passage to the free trade
camp has been very easy and very
quick via the route selected by the
tariff reform press"

all attempts to lead them into other
paths will prove unsuccessful.
A AVENUE PAVING.
Grading 10 Being Done for the I'M
portant Improvement.

The grading along A avenue for the
paving is progressing nicely. The
city is using the greater portion Of
the dirt that is being removed, ,plac-
ing 1t along G avenue. There Is not
great amount of excess grading to
be done on this street, for the grade
has been worked out following the
natural slope Of the street from Mar
ket and from Third street to Second
street, and then from Third street
and from Seventh street to the Sixth
street intersection. The drainage
of the street could not be improved
upon. The cement curbing is being
placed and brick win be laid in the
near future.

RESOL UTIONS.

At the first meeting of the directors
of the Montpelier and Wells River
railroad, after the death of Joel Eos
ter, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, Joel Foster in an early
day was interested in making an effort
to open railroad from Montpelier to
Wells River and took active part in
promoting and building the Montpe-
lier and Wells River railroad and was
officially connected with the corpora
ton from 1870 to the time of his death
on the 18th day of February, 1903.
Therefore, be it
Resolved by the board of directors
of the Montpelier and Wells River
railroad, that in the death of Mr.
Foster the corporation has lost its
model clerk, it's accurate treasurer
and one of it's most able and helpful
directors.
Resolved, That by integrity of life,
by uniform courtesy to all, by the per-
sistent efforts to see that equal rights
were granted to every person. he has
not only enshIined his memory in the
hearts of his associate directors, off.
GERS and employees, of the corporation,
but also in the hearts of all who knew
him as citizen and as a man.
Resolved, That the services he has
rendered to the Montpelier and Wells
River railroad for thirty three years
as its clerk, as treasurer and director,
is official testimony to the worth of
his ability and willingness to be OF
service to the corporation. His eff
cheney as an officer during the thirty
three years has always been recognized
and his labors for others were beyond
his physical strength.
Resolved, That we express our SYM
pathy for his bereaved family, who
have "a precious possession in the
memory of his affe1tionate devotion
and constant labors in their behalf.
Resolved, That the clerk of the cor
poration be directed to spread these
resolutions upon its records and to
send copy of the same to the widow
of the deceased.
