ture, Irish history, ritualistic work
and an official organ.
The national president also reported
that the BOer war led to his receipt
of many communications asking what
the Order intended to do to assist the
South African Burghers. After invit-
ing by letter an expression Of opinion
from the state and county officers
throughout the nation. the national
president called the national board
together and issued an invitation for
voluntary subscription to equip an
ambulance corps. These moneys were
afterward used for the purpose in
tended and much interest was evoked
by the action of the A. o. III. The con-
vcntion appointed Il special committee
on official reports, and from that body
came recommendations regarding sub
ject-mattcr in national presidents ad-
dress. The convention instructed the
incoming officers to publish national
organ and levy per capita tax in sup
port of same, and referred to the ma
tioDal board recommendation of a
national home for aged and INDECENT
members. "A committee appointed to
confer with a like body representing
the Gaelic League recommended the
sum of 81 200 be placed at the disposal
of the Gaelic League to keep paid
organizers in the field in Ireland Not
withstanding an able support, the
Recommendation was lost, as also an
appeal to erect monument in Crosse
Isle over the remains Of the famine
fever victims.
The preamble Of the constitution
which outlined the purposes of the
Order was amended to include among
the objects of the society "thc disscm-
ination of the true principles of Irish
nationality" This was step from
the sphere of bcncvolence to the high
plane of patriotic cndeavor.

The Boston convention was distin-
guished in being the first in many
years at which no reference was made
to secession, and being the first at
which direct instructions were given
regarding affiliation with the Hibern-
lars In Australia and Europe. Dur

bly, Of the Ladies' Auxiliary was in

and those who watched the trend of
IIibernian sentiment were gratified
by the evidenced determination to
bring together the Hibernians Of
America under one flag.
In August, 1897, the national Off
GERS of both sides to the controversy
agreed OH the Bishop of Trenton as
arbitrator, vested with plenary pow
ers. The distinguished churchman
lost no time in accomplishing results,
and on December 18th, 1897, rem
dered his decision, which united men
who had been separated some four
teen years. On January 10, 1898. the
Right Reverend Bishop issued the call
for elections of officers and delegates
to a joint convention to be held in the
city Of Trenton, N. j., on June q, 1898.
Pursuant to the call the forty-first
national convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians was called to
order by the Right Reverend Arbitra-
tor. AS may have been expected, the
convented was interesting and demon
strative. Added to the excitement
natural to the bringing together Of
men separated for years was the de-
sire to return to old rules, sympathy
with Cuba, and interest in the suffer-
ing peasantry of Ireland.
| Reports were submitted by the
heads of both branches Of the Order,
and related in full the negotiations
for unity of Hibcrnians and the re-
suits Of same. That Of the national
president elected in Detroit included
an account of the endowment of the
Gaelic Chair in Washington and called
attention to the conditions in Ireland,
the progress of the Ladies' Auxiliary,
and the need of extending the Order.
! Debates We're distinguished for elo-
quence and patriotism. The spirit of
'9S was present and the accomplish
ment Of two great works, the endow-
ment of the Gaelic Chair, and the
unity of all Hibernians gave eminent
satisfaction to those present.
The resolutions adopted included op-
position to Anglo-American alliance
and unfair school histories, called for
encouragement Of Irish literature,
music and press, the introducing of
Irish History in parochial schools, and
went on record as being in thorough,
sympathy with America in the
Cuban war.
1t was a large gathering. 2S4 voting
for the national officers, and was re-
makable for the striking fact that men
of widely different views and strong
opinions participated in the conven-
ton, which was model in decorum
and management.
The forty-second convention met in
the historic Faneuil Hall of Boston,
Mass, in May Of 1900, and was dis
tinguished by the fact that the Ladies'
Auxiliaries sat in their first general
assembly and accomplished much
towards bringing their Order to the
present excellent standing in numbers
and discipline.

The fortieth convention assembled
in Detroit, Mich, in July Of '96, the
attendance exceeding the gathering in
Omaha, as two hundred and eighty
delegates voted at the closing sessions.
The distinct advance of the Order in
the personal attendance and character
Of its deliberations was apparent to
the interested veterans Of the Order.
The address Of the national presi-
dent included flattering report on
the Gaelic Chair Fund, an emphatic
endorsement Of the Ladies' Auxiliary
and comprehensive statement Of
pending negotiations regarding the
healing of existing schism in Hibern-
ian ranks.
The representatives of the Ladies'
Auxiliary from several states in the
union held concurrent sessions, as
sisted by committee from the con-
vention, and report Of the national
directory submitted draft on the
constitution giving the association an
organization in states, territories and
provinces. The unanimity with which
the report was adopted showed that
the women of the Irish race had al
ready proved their capacity for the
struggle in aid of the cause in which
the A. o. H. was enlisted.
The committee on foreign relations
recommended that duly accredited
| delegate represent the Order at the
Irish National Convention to be held
in Dublin, Ireland, in September, '96.
The recommendation was defeated
after very interesting debate.
The committee on resolutions paid
close attention to the report Of the
national president and endorsed the
work done for the Gaelic Chair, recon-
mended the publication Of an authen-
tic history Of the Order, and including
in one paragraph a call for the cele.
bration of the anniversary Of the bat
tie of Vinegar Hill.
The convention distinguished itself
by voting from the general fund a suf.
ficient amount to complete the endow-
ment of the Gaelic Chair. By this act
the Order was credited with the ex.
cellent record of raising among its
members by equitable subscription
the sum Of $4,000, and doing so al.
most within the space Of fifteen
months. 1t was certainly a great and
marked event in the history of the
1rish-American, which uplifted the
grand old Order to the distinguished
position of liberal patron who was
determined the language of the Ceit
should not be lost to posterity.
The convention was a strong one.
The new interest in the Order awak-
ened in western states had brought
Representatives from the northwest
and Pacific slope. A strongly defined
Irish national sentiment was notice
able during the debates and an eager
desire for unity in Hibernian ranks
created an atmosphere in which dis
cord could not live. The spirit Of har-
mony found its way from the conven-
tion hall to the membership at large,

A Seed Corn Contest.

Prof Holden Of Amss is doing i'm
mense good for farmers in his seed
corn campaign. Just now he is en-
deavoring to get the farmers to come
to some central locality to listen not
only to his lectures on the subject but
to actually demonstrate methods Of
judging seed corn. There is consider
able expense attached to such q meet
ing and he has induced the Mason
City Commercial Club to stimulate
interest in the matter bv Offering prizes
and arranging place for the exhibit
of corn and also for an ample room in
which to deliver lectures. In order to
make the affair worth the effort of the
farmers, the Commercial Club Of Ma
son City will offer more than $500
worth of prizes for the best corn sub
mirted In the contest which is to be
held at Mason City November lS and
10. There viii! ba forty-five prizes
offered in the teo classes and any
farmer in this vicinity ho has ten good
ears of corn stands as good chance
for tho best prize as in any other part
of the county.

A New HuSking Device.

Few people are aware of remark
able invention for husking corn that
has been made by Henry Hamilton
of this place. 1t consists of shield
attached to the inside of the forearm.
To this shield husking peg is at
tached about midway between the
wrist and elbow and the whole fasten-
ed to the fore arm by means of straps
and a leather collar at the wrist. In
using this device the ear of corn is
grasped near the ton with the left
hand in the ordinary manner. The
right hand is then extended below the
ear and as it is raised the peg attached
to the shield on the forearm removes
the husk at the instant that the right
hand reaches the ear which is grasped
and with one movement wrenched
from the stalk. The old way requires
two movements, viz, the hand with
the peg first removes the husk, then is
returned to grasp and remove the ear,
a distinct loss of time. With this de-
vice it is estimated that an ordinary
husker is enabled to husk one-third
more corn each day than he would
without it. 1t is the application of
principle in a new way. Formerly on
~ at long intervals was really fast
husker found, his method of husking
was different than that used by his
fellows The beauty of this device is
that it can only be used in one way,
and anyone can use it. When the num-
Der of huskers and the Importance of
their work are considered, the practi
cal value of this invention is seen. A
number of these husking devices have
been placed IN the field in the vicinity
of Riceville. but owing to the fact
that special stamping machine is
needed in their manufacture and the
late season at which they could be
given practical test, but few will be
placed OH the market this year. Rice

The Burns Were Fatal.

Last Sunday evening Mrs. u.
Moffatt of Jackson township received
burns that proved fatal. The cause OF
the accident that caused her death
will never be known, for the reason
that for several years her health had
been failing and at the time of the
accident she was alone in the room
and in her enfeebled condition she
was not able to give explanations.
All that is known is that when Mr..
Moffatt came into the room she was
leaning ON her elbows on table on
which some papers were afire and her
clothing was burned away to the
waist, and the flesh on all that por-
ton of her body had been touched by
the fire. 1t is supposed that. it being
dusk, she had attempted to light a
lamp and in her weak condition had
set the papers and clothing afre. She
was too weak to call help. and in the
above condition was found bv her
husband. He Immediately summoned
Drs. Smith, but the shock and burns
were too much for her vitality and she
uccombed Tuesday. -Clarksville Star.

In fact there was one mail bag full
of catalogues addressed to people who
have been dead for ten years. This

October.

October is the best month of all the
year, although poets have lavished
their praise =pon the earlier months
of summer. We are living in the
month when the days are SO full of
golden sunshine that it penetrates
even into our very souls. We tread
upon carpet of red and gold and the
foliage is emblazoned with gorgeous
coloring Nature is dying and going
out with n grand climax which far
exceeds any of her seasons efforts.
She spins gauze that floats airily on
the soft brepzes and makes us feel as
though we were In the land of the un-
real. She tints everything with a
touch from her palate. rendering it at
once most beautiful. Since the beginn-
ing of summer, she has been entertain
ing us with varied changes of beauty
and now just before sine rings down the
curtain, size bewilders us with this
glittering finale. We know from ex-
perience that il is the last act and we
appreciate and cling TO the scene in
consequence. Hampton Chronicle.

Drag the roads whenever you can get
little dirt, and thus gradually fill
the center With the center full and
the surface smooth there will be no
chance for soft spots to develop. 1t
is the hollows that retain a small
amount os water that stay soft all fall
and winter, and in the spring are cut
up into the awfully bad mud holes,
which become impossible. The task
is not difficult. There is more or less
leisure before corn gathering. Begin

Mrs. Sarah Dinges Of Elkader. Iowa.
came to Dubuque few days ago to
see what could be done for her eyes,
She was practically blind with catar-
acts. it having been about two years
since shs was able to read and for the
last two months she was almost help
less, one eye being totally blind and
the other nearly so.
As q result of . skillful operation
performed upon the eye which was
totally blind Mrs. Dinges now sees the
light Of day again and is able once
more to recognize her friends and to
help herself AS she has not been able
to do for years. Her vision is becom-
ing better daily and she will in all
probability soon be able to read ordi-
nary newspaper type. The work was
done by Drs. Seelye & Oaks, the we'll
known eye and ear specialists whose
offices are on the fourth floor of the
Bank and Insurance building.
Mrs. Dinges is an old and respected
resident of Clayton county She is
the widow of the late William Dinges

Ter at that place. For the last two
years Mrs. Dinges has made her home
in Elkader with her daughter Mrs.

we think Postville has got 'em all
done up brown by one of its late citi-

unique manner of transporting not on
ly himself, but his entire family, to
Missouri. We refer to the Cotton
family. They decided to move to
Missouri, packed their belongings and
shipped them by freight and then de-
cided to beat the railroad company
out Of the price of their fare, which
they did, as follows: Having a gent S
and lady's bicycle, they had them
connected side by side. about two feet
apart, with solid steel braces, and be-
tween the two wheels, suspended from
the braces hung a seat to be occupied
by their 7-year-old daughter OH the
journey. And week ago last Mon
