FOUND A WATERY GRAVE
CoIored Man aoes to His Grave
While Bathing at the Quarry.
CRUSHED UNDER AN ENGINE
John Wise Instantly Killed and Melvin Shipley
Fatally Injured in Accident Saturday
Third Victim NAY Die.

Eugene Jones, young colored man
about % years of age, whose home is
said to be Charles Town, W. Va. but
who has been employed In this city
for several months at the quarries OF
the Standard Lime and Stone Co., met
death last Sunday afternoon about 80
O'Clock by accidental drowning IN the
watar Mt one of the abandoned holes
at the ouarries. His death is sup
posed to have been caused by cramps.
The body was taken to Wilen's under
taking establishment, where 1t was
prepared for burial. His mother is
said to reside in Charles Town, and
the authorities have photographed there
to ascertain what disposition is to be
made of the BODY.
The accident occurred in the presence
of number of boys, who were swim
ming. Jones entered the water when
very warm and had only made few
strokes when he began to struggle.
Those on the bank thought that he
was joking, as they knew he could
swim we'll enough TO keen afioat. he
then looked towards the bank and
saying stGood bye7', sank. After q
time, when he did not rise, it was
thought that he had been seized with
cramps, and some young men went to
his assistance. His BODY was hshed
OUT by the aid of graphing hooks, and
although an effort was made to revive
him, life was extinct when he was
taken from the water. The water was
about 10 feet deep, where the accident
occurred.
The BODY was recovered by Messrs.
Mack Chambers, Nicholas Rudy and
G.. W. Yontz. who were near when the
accident happened Coroner Colston
was at once notified, but he deemed
an inquest unnecessary. but made
preliminary examination, rendering
verdict of accidental drowning.
Jones it seems had been in the habit
of swimming in the quarry and knew
the depth of the water. He was not
an expert swimmer, but under ordi-
nary circumstances was able to keep
afloat. When the body was taken
from the water, about 40 minutes
after he went down, he had relaxed,
and there were no signs that he had
struggled after going down.
The news of the accident spread very
fast and there was large crowd at
the quarry when the BODY was re-
covered. The BODY was held until
word has been received from his
mother.

Cheaper Abroad Than at Home.

The following from Secretary Shaw's
speech at the state convention in Des
Moines is worth remembering:
Zone issue which is likely to be
raised and carried into every school
house in the nation is the claim Of the
democratic party that American man
ufactures are selling abroad cheaper
than at home.
"We are selling some goods abroad
cheaper than we are selling them at
home. | am glad this is so, and /
hope the time will never come when
our enterprising producers refuse to
sell their surplus abroad to keep the
furnaces burning and the spindles
humming home. There are hundreds
OF disturbances where this occurs and /
am glad it is SO.
81 only want to repeat this is the one
issue / think will be sounded in the
school house and every public meet.
ing. 1t is fact and don't apologize
for it that we do sell abroad some
things cheaper than we do at home.
We sell one-thirtieth of one per cent
abroad cheaper than we do at home.
When we produce 800 at the factory
and pay out 800 for wages we sell
thirty cents worth cheaper than we dc
at home, -

Watterson on the Editorial.

We heard Henry Watterson address
the national editorial association at
the Worlds Fair few weeks ago.
Watterson is considered to be the
most noted editorial writer in America.
The public generally ranks him with
Greeley and Dana. His ideas on the
editorial are interesting to say the
least and his form of expressing them
is terse and attractive. This is what
he said:
write of man nothing you would
not say to his face, and might not say
in the hearing of decent people.
"Avoidequally intimation and intim-
idation, making no suggestion you
are not prepared to reduce to asser-
ton and sustain with proof.
"Satire should be kept within the
bounds of the probable, wit under the
restraint of sense; and even invective--
shorn of adjective and adverb, and
stripped to the waist should strike
out from the shoulder to hit only
above the belt.
''The pert paragraph should be al
lowed to die natural death; no
flowers.
'"The editorial page thus conceived
and executed, thus inspired and parti-
toned, could not fail to impress itself
upon the thought of the time, at once
power and a feature, an arm OF the
service and commercial asset"

The selection of Senator Allison by
the republicans of Iowa at the head of
the state delegation to the national
convention, was proper and grace
full thing to do. The Senator evident
ly appreciated it. His speech to the
convention in acknowledgement was
reminiscent in part. Forty four years
ago he was one of the delegates from
this state to the national convention
at Chicago that nominated Abraham
Lincoln. His public career has been
continuous since. He has gained a
place of great influence in national
affairs. His course has always been
careful and conservative. Wisdom
has directed his action. He is still
well preserved and although his
career is now one of the most remark
able that the political history of Amer
lea contains, yet Iowa is still inclined
to continue him in his great Office as
long as his health will permit.

We believe we can recall that seven
years ago when the Dingley law was
being enacted we republicans were all
arguing that the policy of this coun-
try as to tariff matters ought to be
not only the protective policy, but
that it ought to be stable and regu-
lar policy, so that the different lines
of business would know what to de-
pend on. One of the arguments made
against the democrats not only in '9S
and 1900 but in other campaigns, was
that putting them in power meant re-
vision, which meant uncertainty as to
duties, and consequently disorganiza-
ton of business. The idea we were
proclaiming then, If we remember
right, was that il the republican party
got in power we would have perma-
nency in these things. The idea that
the republicans would go to calling
for revision was not then supposed to
be in the realm of possibility. 1t was
supposed that such agitation would
be left for democrats.

Audubon county democrats will
have to call another county convention
to select delegates to their next state
convention, which will meet at Iowa
City July 10. II they do not nomi-
nate their county ticket then, and 1t is
not likely they will, they will have to
have three county conventions this
season. But we guess the big four or
five can run and control democratic

The mean temperature of the past
week was slightly below normal, ex-

There was a large percentage of cloudi-
ness, and the rainfall was above nor
NAL in the larger part of the state, the
excess being greatest in portions OF
the central and northern sections.
The rains were timely and beneficial,
except in the localities visited by
heavy and destructive downpours. In
sections where the rainfall was mode

in finishing planting and beginning
cultivation of the corn crop. Reports
are variable as to the stand of corn,
but there is general agreement as TO
the increased acreage planted In
some of the southern counties planting
operations are likely to be continued
another week.
The weather conditions have been
very good for grasses and small grain
crops, which are showing improve

been much benefited by wet and cloudy
weather, and in many sections reports

tain Scott is a republican of repub-

party seldom equalled, and the Ninth
