politics is simply that much taken
from the upbuilding of Iowa. Biennial
elections are not an experiment. They
are fact in thirty-three states, where
the objections that have been raised
against them is proven to be bosh. Look
the question up, and if these facts are
proven to be true vote for biennial
elections"
1.-THE question is now being dicussed
as to whether a shadow can occupy
space. The answer must be in the af-
n money plank in the st. Louis plat
FORM" declares the Grinnell Gazette.
Noting that the stockholders of the
new National bank at Grinell organic
ed to take the place of the failed Spen-
Ger bank, have elected Rev. e. M. Wit
tum president of the bank, the Charles
City Intelligencer admitting that "the
preacher may be alright as bank pres
ident," is ready to venture the predic-
ton that he will not always feel like
letting his preaching hand knows what
his banking hand is doing"
The chief cause of bank failures as
seen by the Dubuque Times is "specu-
lation by the officers in immediate
charge of their affairs, officers who use
the funds of the bank without the
, knowledge of the directors. Defalca-
tions are most numerous in cases in
which one mans control of the bank is
so complete that he needs no confed-
crate. Recent failures in Iowa have
shown that to remove temptation in
such cases, or to detect the wrong do
ing before the banks solvency is
threatened or destroyed, a better sys-
tenn of checking is necessary and
it is not unlikely that the next general
assembly will be requested to provide
it,"
Remarking that another point raised
against biennial elections is the edu-
cational feature, the Hardin County
Citizen says 1.-The assumption is that a
continuous high-class political vaude-
vile is necessary in order to educate a
man sufficiently to know whether he
| ought to vote the republican, demo-
cratic or populist tickets. This is all
bosh. The chances are that biennial
elections. with the intervening rest.

DO THE HAULING NOW.
[Montezuma Republican,

Just at this time the roads thruout
this county are of the best and 1t will
take large quantity of waer in the
shape of rain to materially injure
them. Large loads are now being
drawn for that reason and at a less
outlay of vigor than with one-half of
that ordinarily shown. Loads of hay
and grain that would astonish many
are to be found thus cared for in all
directions. Do your carriage while the
roads are thus in trim is all the adj
vice needed.

AFTER THE QUAcK GRASS.

wesley News Word.J
Paul Nelson and Lett Ash are manu-
featuring drag to kill quack grass,
the work being done at Mr.. Ash's
blacksmith shop. Paul gets some of
his ideas from a machine that his
father used in Denmark and with sew
eral new features added he believes
that he Will be able to get rid of this
pest without much expense. But it
seems that Paul Nelson is not the only
one trying to solve the problem. Will
Hager has also heard that quack grass
was killed in Denmark and that the
roots are sold to medicine concerns in
America at enormous prices. Mr..
Scheu, our popular druggist hes been
corresponding with large dealers and
finds it is imported in large quantities
and brings about the same price as gin
seng. Ii a machine could be made to
dig the plant without much expense
big money could be realized from what
now seems to be pest. Mr.. Hager
has fiured out plans for a machine
that will dig, thresh and sack the roots
in short order. Three plows will be at
tached to an engine and the burrows
turned onto an apron and carried up TO
a cylinder thirty-six inches wide and
threshed, the roots passing on over a
sieve and automatically sacked, while
the dirt is pulverized and falls out be-
hind the machine. 1t is estimated that
from one acre of land 5000 worth OF
roots ought to be secured and Mr..
Hager thinks he can thresh acres per
day. He has in view some farms near
Wooden and Titonka, but is having diff
Guilty in getting options, the farmers
claiming that it would be a detriment to
the land to have the roots taken out,
that when they rot they excel clover
roots; the ground becomes rich, loose
and porous. Lem Roberts, one OF IL
tonka's leading farmers and quack
grass agitators, says that his best
crops are where the grass used to be
the thickest and has brought to town
beets that weigh sixteen pounds which
can be seen in Edward Kunz's store
window, raised on land where quack
grass used to grow.

A QUEER OLD STAGE COACH.

lMeQOoACld LLACelSlOr.I
Rarely does one see the old-fas h-
toned stage coach which in the pioneer
days of the west was so common a
sight thruout the vast region; but a
specimen of this almost defunct species
went thru Maquoketa Monday after
noon, drawn by six horses. The coach
was the central figure in a sort cara
van, consisting of a large number of
horses and mules, driven by a half
dozen cowboys, while other men occu-
pied seats in the coach. The strange
procession made its way thru the south
part Of town and proceeded eastward.
Numerous speculations We're made by
those who saw the old coach as to it's
destination. 1t is supposed that the
outfit is the remains of some wild west
show, which perhaps became stranded
somewhere, and some of the showmen
are travelling across the country, prob
ably towards home, in the ancient
coach, driving their animals. The
coach no doubt has its history, as every
old relic of the pioneer days has. But
coaches do not tell tales, so that his
tory, however interesting it may be,
is lost in the oblivion of the past.

This case is one growing out Of con-
