KETcHuM NOT A CANDIDATE.

A slug head news story in this morn
ing's issue of the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican announces to Fifth district re-
publicans that Mr.. N. S. Ketchum. OF
this city, has no intention of seeking
the republican nomination for railroad
commissioner this year. fact that has
been generally understood in MARSHALL
town for the reason that Mr.. Ketchun,
has not asked his local friends to busy
themselves in his behalf. Much unau-
thorized talk of his being a candidate
has been INDUCED by various state
dailies until Mr.. Ketchum has talked
to newspaper man setting at rest the
hopes and fears of all interests in any
way effected by his political presence.
The Republicans story reads:
THE first district political friends Of
Mr.. n. S. ketchum. of Marshall;own,
who attended the republican state con-
vention this year, will not have. the
pleasure of voting and working for him
in the nominating candidacy for rail-
not seek that nomination this year.
Such is the word The Republican has
received from Marshalltown.
I'm response to inquiries Mr.. Ketch
UNI has said: Yes, have seen more
or less publicity given to my candi-
dacy for the nomination of railway
commissioner. but / do not intend to
be a candidate this year, and have no.

les, for If l had intended to run

RANDALL ENTERS DENIAL.

Editor Times-R Republican, Marshall
town, Iowa.
Dear Sir: In your issue of April oath
an article appears under the caption
Science Wrecks Homes" and fur
Their heading, .Des Moines Preacher
Wants Freedom From His Christian
Science Wife"
The words christian Science in
this heading are improperly used. as
its use in this connection reflects dis
credit upon the religious denomination
known as Christian Science. The tex
of the article indicates clearly and
plainly that the wife spoken of was not
a Christian Scientist, but an adherent
of the so-called mental science which
has no connection whatever with the
Christian Science religion, but is rdthe,
er an antipode of this religion. The
newspaper accounts of this case, rs
given in Des Moines, do not mention
| the names Christian Science.
| l trust you will correct this item az
a mere matter of justice to the Chris
| tian Science denomination.
Respectfully,
JOHN l.. RANDALL

FRUIT PROSPECTS AND HINTS.

LeGrand, Iowa, May Z, 1903.-Editor
Times Republican: | send you few
brief notes on our fruit prospects. also
a few hints to planters of trees and
small fruits.
| see from the amount IF fresh bloom
that has come out since the freeze of
the Sd on cherry, plum, peach and apple
trees that if no calamity happens from
this on our prospect for fruit is good
yet. Small fruits were not out enough
to be hurt to speak of. ! think also the
vet ground helped for it seemed to
draw the frost to the earth and but lit
tie showed on the trees. Therefore let
us not be discouraged, and hope for
good in the future. l admit it did look
little discouraging during the blizzard
and freeze of last week.
on tree and small fruit setting / will
add few hints that l hope may be OF
benefit to those wanting to set. May Is
n good time for setting strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries. In setting
strawberry plants, set fresh plants that
were made last season. Be sure you
know what you are setting. for we nave
the two classes-Staminate and Pistilate
-bloomers The Pistilate are worthless
unless they have the Staminate set with
them; then they will bear enormously.
They are destitute of pollen seed ana
need the bloom of the Sta.ninate or per-
feet bloomers to fertilize them. A good
way is to set two rows OF the Plstllate
Grnperfect) and then one or two rows
of the Staminate, then three or tour
rows of the Pistilate. and so on, thruout
the patch This system will fertiiize
all well, and gives a good chance 10 get
new plants for setting next year that
are true to name. / find many that get
plants from beds that have borne Wen
the past season and get all their plants
of the Pistilate variety, for these are
great plant bearers, and the conse-
auences are that they have fine bed
of plants that bloom well, but get no
berries. l give this that all may take
warning. Set in rows from three to
three and one-half feet and twelve to
eighteen inches in the rows.
The month of May is the best time
to set raspberry plants. Set what is
called green plants, that 8, plants mace
last season that are six TO eight inches
high; then you can set well ana get q
good stand and have the soil in f1ne con-
dition for setting. Cut eff all the old
wood. Blackberries can be hanuled
much the same way
A few notes on the setting of the
peach. 1 see number in the county
that set peach trees in the spring OF
1902 that were told to set their trees
from five to six feet apart each way,
when they ought to set them from
twelve to sixteen feet These trees
were furnished from the east and war
ranted for five years if they would set
them as instructed. I would say TO
these parties to take UP part OF these
trees and set them out so they Will
stand twelve to fifteen feet apart each
way. I would rather have them this
way than the insurance. for they Will ne
worthless this close together. IL VIII
do to set them yet by cutting back We'll
and then your trees may be worth
something if of hardy varieties.

The Marshalltown Reflector tries to
convey the impression that Mr.. ket-
chum a native of that county, tenta-
tive candidate for the nomination OF
railroad commissioner at the hands of
the coming republican state convention.
has been sold out by d. w. Norris, ed
itor of the Times Republican. of Mar
shailtown. The Reflector POUNDS its
insinuation upon purported interview
in the Register and Leader by Mr.. Nor
lis. Mr.. Norris has denied the charge
and said that the interview was a fake.
The Reflector will fail in its object.
No one believes that Mr.. Norris would
do Mr.. ketchum an injustice. If he be-
lieved it inopportune for Mr.. Ketchum
to, be candidate for commissioner he
would so state to MIR. Ketchum; If he
were opposed to Mr.. Ketchum he would
SO state thru the columns of his pape.
No matter how discreet upon some po-
litical matters Mr. Norris may seem to
be he is no coward. He has never been
afraid to say what he believes in his
own editorial columns. We do not be-
lieve Mr. ketchum has asked Mr.. Nor
ris to say word as to his candidacy
for the position of commissioner. There
is no question of Mr.. Norris support
of the Ketchum candidacy last year
He gave him the best ability he could
command and gave him enthusiastic
support. The Retlector's article will
do Mr. Norris no harm, In the Fifth
district. 1t is we'll known that Mr..
Norris visit to Des Mones was of a

light on the workings Of that mysteri-

The Davenport Democrat complains
that republican newspapers cut down
Mr.. Cleveland's speech at st. Louis
while President Roosevalss was fea-
tured and printed in full. There are
many who will question The Democrats
assertion that Mr.. Cleveland's was the
greatest speech delivered. Aside from
the question of merit the country was
waiting TO hear from Mr.. Roosevelt as
president of the United States and while
Mr.. Cleveland is invariably listened to
with attention by the American people,
the wider public demand was for the
presidents speech.

with inadequate knowledge of the bust

Labor has so risen in cost during the

The total volume of business done in

FAILURES INCREASING.

Dun's report of the business failures
in the United States for one month as
compared to the same period in prevl-
GUS years is always interesting as Civ
ing business men suggestions now AMI
then in answer to the question, With
err are we drifting" The average citi-
g,n with capital invested and mount
ain of debt hanging over him reads the
daily news reports of strikes and labo,
riots with apprehension, knowing that
building operations will be curtailai
and the investment of capital in indus
try discouraged. With a slackening of
the commercial pace will come lessea-
ing demand for what he himself has for
sale, while his interest payments and
other fixed charges must be met. The
situation has not reached that stage
where mems eyes no longer gaze upon
the possible profits to be gained In bust
ness, but the statistics of other fellows
are nevertheless interesting. To
know who and why and how much as
we'll as how many in such matters will
aid in reading the promises of the flu
ture.
Hence it is that no re-assuring news
comes from Dun's report of failures for
April. 1t is true that the number of
failures, $50, Is less by 100 than for
April, 1902, but it is greater than for
the same month in either 1899 or 1900.
