ningham, who drove here from theil
home at Viroqua, Wis. They will
start on the return trip to Vlroqua
today. Mr.. and Mrs. Clements are
making this visit their wedding trip.
The elevator at Bonair had a
narrow escape from destruction by
fire yesterday forenoon. George
Rathert, employed in the elevator
struck a match in the engine room to
start the gasoline engine, which
ignited some escaped gas in the room
and set fire to the engine room and
started fire which was hard to
subdue and keep from setting fire to
the elevator itself.
It Will be no surprise to the PLAIN
DEALER to hear that Parker and Da-
Wis have been overwhelmingly defeat
ed to-day. That they have been elec-
ted, will be surprise. We believe
the trusts, monopolies and corpora
tions have purchased and paid for four
years more of profit from tariff taxa
alton, and for four more years OF ex-
tortion, from the public through the
unholy com oination of trusts and
corporation monopoly. The admins
tration is too strongly entrenched be-
hind them to be routed. Its promise
not to "run amuck" is potent with
them.

Monday -. Mrs. Glass and daughter
Loretta, from near Cresco, visited at
the Sid Fravel home over Sunday
Last Sunday Father Gum con-
drmed the rumor that he had been
transferred to Dewitt, and that
Father Nelson, Of Lourdes, will come
here. He was too much overcome to
say much, but he said it was hard to
break the ties contracted by lifetime
oflabor. He said it would be month
before the change could be made.
Father Ryan, OF Allison, will take
Father Nelson's place. .-Elma New

Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Preston were
here last week from Byron, ILL.,, and
bought the NJ. Svoboda farm east OF
town. Mr.. and Mrs. Preston are
apparently enterprising people-just
the kind we are glad to welcome. 1t
may be of interest to some to know
that this writer knew Mr.. Svoboda
when he was in South DakoJa and
knows that he came to Howard
county some ten or twelve years ago
about as nearly broke as men usually
get. Today he is worth not less than
twenty thousand dollars, and has
made it on the farm he just sold to
Mr.. Preston. He has another farm
over near Cresco where he intends to
move. .-Riceville Recorder.
Mrs. Estella Rogers and children
moved to Cresco this week. The
community as whole regret the loss
of this good lady and hope that she
will find as warm spot in the hearts
OF the Cresco people as she has in
chester. $50. Eckstein Bros, have
been quite busy this week shipping
Chester White pigs. Two fine ones
wentsto Cresco, one to McIntire, one
to Madison and a couple to the
southern part of the state. The herd
OF Chester Whites that Eckstein Bros
have cannot be excelled in this
country, hence the large sales. ....F.
81. Owens, our popular hotel man, has
been out of town most of the week
campaigning. That Frank is going
to make q hot race no one denies fol
he is popular with his own townsmen
and very strong in the western par,
of the county. He is up with a clear
record, never before having dabbled
In politics, is honest and capable anc
