A Very Pleasing Entertainment.

The recital given at the Grand
opera house on Friday evening by
Misses Macha Vance and Ella May
Duffin attracted fair sized audience
which was delighted with the pro-
gram presented. 1t consisted of
ohoice selection of numbers, each of
which was rendered in most excel
lent manner. and elected the hearty
applause of all who were present.
Miss Vance showed remarkable de-
velopment in elocution, and natural
talent for declaming which made her
selections realistic and interesting.
They were delivered with an ease of
manner aud finish which kept the
audience charmed and brought for her
universal approval. Miss Duffin has
voice of rare quality and sweetness,
and handles it admirably. Her selec-
tions were particularly adapted to
her voice, and she rendered them so
excellently that she was compelled to
respond to repeated encores.

Because the ranks of the civil war
veterans are fast becoming fewer and
the time is approaching when there
will be but handful of soldiers who
wear the little bronze button, an
effort is to be made at the national en-
campment of the G. A. r. to be held
in Boston this year to perpetuate the
veterans organization by enabling
the members to hand down their army
buttons of membership to legal heir
who will take the place of his father.
Notices to this effect have been re-
ceived at the Iowa headquarters of the
G.. A. r. There is some opposition to
this plan, many prefering to let the
organization die with the veterans,
while others favor adopting the plan
which the Loyal Legion and num-
Der of other similar organizations
have had for many years.

1t is a great convenience in driving
through the country to see the names
of the farmers OH their mail boxes by
the roadside. The man should be per-
sonally identified with the place he
farms. Even if there is no business
to transact with the farmer at the
time or in the future the passer-by
takes an interest in this place or that
as he sees the natural beauty, improve
ments. manner of farming and keep
ing up the premises, the focks. herds,
ETC., and he would like to know who
is responsible for that sort of a place
He may meet the farmer in the future,
see his name in print or hear it men,
toned and it Will increase interest
in both the farm and the farmer to
be able to associate the two. Whether
the farmer lives on mail route or
not it would be very nice thing to
put up sign giving the name of the
farmer, and If he be tenant to also
give the name Of the owner of the
place.

10. TRIGG'S EPlGRAMS.

Arbitration over tough steak is in
order
The Iowa idea found its legal and
proper home in the Democrat platform
The Democrats will put money into
the campaign even if they were afraid
to put it in the platform.
1t is not the Iowa people who ask
for the biennial election but the Iowa
politicians Make note of this.
No dinner pail, no money question,
no Imperialism, no race problems, no
low tariff advocacy-what are the
democratic campaign speakers going
to talk about?
Banker Morely of Lake City has
gone insane over the nomination of
Parker. Others have ymptoms-Bry-
an, Sam Smith of Upton and Champ
Clark.
The heirs of Candidate Davis were
much opposed to his nomination. His
money is so nearly ready for distribu.
tion to them that they hate to see it
wasted.
The Democrats condemn the Repub-
licans for enacting protective tariff
legislation, but are careful in their
platform to pledge no such interfer-
ence with it as will disturb the pros.
perity of the country

cuses for not later than Wednesday
evening, August cath, in order that
complete list of the delegates to the
convention may be maue up by Thurs
day. This recommendation is made
for the reason that there are an un-
usually large number of candidates
for the various offices. and it will be
absolutely fair to all of them to know
who the delegates are a few days be

desire they may present their claims
direct to delegates, instead of cover
ing the townships in their canvass.

In our humble opinion we would
say vote against the biennial election
amendment this fall. We don't have
elections any too often and when we
get some fellows in Office whom we
might mention we wish his election
was every year that we might bounce
him at once. Don't take the fate of
the office holder out of the hands Of
the people by putting elections so few
that all interest in politics would be
lost by the people. When the people
let the elections go bv default the
country is in danger Let them vote
each year. They can stand it and it
will keep our political institutions
better and purer and no harm can
come from annual elections. .-Arling-

How 10 Make a Town.

| Did you ever stop and consider the
best and easiest way to build up a
town or county? If you have not. let
us give you remedy that has never
been known TO fail. If your neighbor
starts new enterprise be sure to 60 to
all your friends and tell him what a
fool he is; and how worthless the
thing is which he is trying to sell.
Should some one be fortunate enough
to get the appointment to be postmas.
ter of your burg, see to it that you
buy your stamps elsewhere and. let all
of your friends know what political
demagogue this particular person is.
If another of your fellow citizens has
obtained lob from the state. do not
let single opportunity pass in which
you just throw it into him. If you
cannot say anything truthful about
him. say it anyway. A we'll told lie
goes better than the truth any time.
and You know it is always better to
let some other person have these ap-
pointive offices. If there is a news
paper in your town that has always
stood by you in all your undertak-
ings and assisted you in every way
possible, you want to 60 after it. if
perchance that paper should ever dare
have an opinion contrary to 20 urs
Here is an opportunity You must not
let go by. When that paper ceases to
be your servant and tool. 60 after it
night and day. Just stay by it, and
be sure you advertise it as it deserves.
In cases like these throw gratitude to
the winds, and with the aid of a few
false and untruthful remarks well put
| together. arouse your neighbor to see
it that the newspaper is laid out. If
a city election is going on. be sure
and get into the game.
You NAV not get anything yourself,
| hence get into the game and make life
| uncomfortable for the other fellow.
In this instance keep close to the
truth, with a few variations when
needed. Always stay with the fellow
who comes in and pats you on the
back a few days before he wants to
use you for some purpose of his own,
| in preference to the fellow who has
done you good turns without looking
for a reward. By doing this you may,
some time. in some way. and in some
manner get assistance on other occa-
sions. If You see one of your fellow
citizens 60 into a saloon, tell your
neighbor that you saw that same par
ty beastly drunk. This will help the
cause of temperance and sobriety.
When you want to purchase anything
60 to another town and buy 1T and
when you get back be sure and adver
tise it to your neighbor so that he
may do likewise. This helps pay taxes
in your town. Find fault at all times,
and when your neighbor is not work
ing for your interests tell all the mean
things you can about him. In cases
like these the truth has no application.
Do all this and as sure as the sun
rises you will have a town soon. -

Important Law for Soandinavians.

Among the many new laws which
went into effect on July 4th is an i'm
portant one introduced by Represen-
tative A. jacobson of this county. 1t
relates to the change of name, and is
of special interest to Scandinavians,
who often find it necessary to change
their names, on account of conflict
ing with other persons having the
same name. The new law repeals the
old one compelling the petitioner to
appear before the district court and to
publish notice of such change. In its
stead 1t is now only necessary to ap-
pear before the CLERK of the Court
and make affidavit as TO his name.

curately describe the different places
of residence for the past five years.
birthplace. his fathers name. his
mothers name, his height. color of
hair ana eyes, the new name he wishes
and correct description of his real
| estate. He shall sign his old name
and also the new. The order chang
ing his name shall be transcripted to
the Office of the Recorder of each
county where he owns real estate, who
shall note the change of name in red
ink. The fee is one dollar. and shall
be paid to the Clerk of the Court.
The main purpose of the new bill is to
allow Soandinavians to adept their
farm names without great inconven-
| ience or expense.
