THE STRENUOUS EXAMPLE.

President Roosevelt has succeeded,
perhaps beyond his expectations. in
arousing the fighting blood in the Oys-
ter Bay populace. They had invited
the Stamford ,Conai baseball nine to
play friendly game with them. but it
turned out that the Oyster Bayites
were too strenuous. and instead of bat
ting the ball soon commenced to bat
the StamforditeS. \ pitched battle en-
sued knives were used. blood flowed
and the wounded covered the field. The
safe and sane people Of Oyster Bay
and vicinity are debating whether the
strenuous life" should he preached so
constantly TO their young men as to
stir them up to hattie with their neigh
bors and guests.

WHERE 100000 WOMEN VOTE.

The Republican National Committee
has sent Mrs. J. Ellen Foster to do mis-
sionary work among the 100, coo women
who are eligible to vote in Colorado,
Wyoming. Utah and Idaho. Mrs. Eos
ter will find that the women of these
States are able to take care of them
selves. There are one or two local is
sues there which appeal strongly to
lovers of freedom and fair play. both
males and females, and Mrs. Foster, a
professional 'spellbinder." Of New
York, will discover that they are I'M
like any issues that she has bcen ac-
customed to harp upon under the I'll
rectlon of Tom Platt and LEA

new YORK CAMPAIGN.
Democratic and Independent News
papers United For Herrick.

Every Democratic and Independent
newspaper in the city of New York,
except the Evening Post, expresses sat
isfaction with the Democratic State
ticket and will give it earnest support.
The Post comedies Judge Herrick's
great ability as well as his impartial
ity as a Judge, but says 1t cannot adj
wise its readers to vote for him because
the Judge has dabbled" in politics
while OH the bench. Yet the Post will
continue to denounce 0dellism in its
usual vigorous style and no one need
fear that any considerable number Of
its constituents will vote TO: the dis
credited Odells ticket in preference TO
the one headed by Judge Herrick. In
addition to the practically unanimous
support of the Democratic and indie
pendent press, the Republican New
York Sun is making strong fight
for Herrick and Harrison without any
ifs or "buts."
sweep all of Odell's creatures, great
and small, into the Hudson Rlverr' is
the Suns clarion call to honest voters,
irrespective Of party affiliation.

DANIEL NOT DOUBLING.
Virginia's Senior Senator Entirely
Hopeful of the Prospect.

Eloquent Senator Daniel. of Virginia,
was one of the numerous statesmen
who called at Democratic Headquar-
tiers this week. The Senator, like all
the other callers. takes very hopeful
view of the situation. He said:
At no time, said Senator Daniel
have l ever doubted the election of
Parker and Davis. To-day the chances
are better than ever. Reports that
have received from every part of the
country. especially the doubtful States
show that Democratic prospects are
Frightening. l feel confident that New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut vii
90 Democratic and that we will gel
enough votes in the Middle West tC

The foregoing figures are from OFF,

that of the expense of the transports,
is estimated. Here is total outlay of

gun to play the role of a world

This colossal sum, moreover, repre-
sents only the actual and direct ex-
penditures Of public money in and for
the Philippines, and takes no account
of the enormous increase in the cost OF
maintaining the Army and Navy. which
has been rendered necessary by the
Rooseveltian policy of being prepared

For the week ending June 6, 1904.
Des Moines, la.
The average temperature of the
week was about normal. There was a
general excess of cloudiness, and
very heavy showers in portions of the
north central and western districts,
causing considerable local damage on
fiat lands and river bottoms, and
delaying the necessary work of clean
ing out the weedy corn fields. Prob
ably about twO-fifths of the area of
the state received excessive downpours
during the week, and field work has
been much retarded by wet weather
and prevalent cloudiness. The corn
crop has made fair growth wherever
conditions have been favorable for
cultivation, and the stand, though
quite variable, is not materially short
OF the average of the past ten years at
the corresponding date. Replanting
and belated planting are still in pro-
gress in some localities. The con-
ditiOns have been generally favorable
for the growth of grass, small grain,
potatoes and garden truck. Reports
indicate that the apple crop is quite
promising, especially in the districts
where commercial orchards are most
abundant.

Strong Gas Flow Struck.
Coon Rapids Enterprise.

Great excitement prevailed north of
Coon Rapids Saturday. A strong
flow of gas was struck on the Mrs.
Robert Brown farm, near Mr.. Lath-
rOp's, in Richland township, about
seven miles north of town. Gas was
discovered on this place few years
ago when it was owned by Mcknight
but in trying to pipe it was lost. The
flow struck Saturday is very strong.
1t shot up into the air from fifty to
sixty feet it is said like smoke from
a locomotive and was so strong that
it blew a rock as large as ones fist
clear out of sight. 1t was difficult to
get it under control but this was finally
accomplished. A stock company has
been organized with the purpose of not
only using the gas in the country near
the well but piping it to Coon Rapids
and adjoining towns and using it for
lighting and heating purposes provid-
ed the quantity is sufficient and the
force strong enough. Arrangements
are now being made to sink a l0-inch
we'll at once.
OF course the find may unfortunately
prove to be merely pocket of gas
as at EIerndOn, yet the opinion of
experts is that gas in never failing
quantity exists in this portion of the
state, and the Kichland township
discovery may prove to be that of
great gas fields. Who knows but
that Iowa may yet rival Texas and
Kansas and California? At any rate
the new find will keep this locality in
a state of excitement and expectancy
until thorough test is made.

Sonny Asks Questions.

Sonny Spencer is worried because
we said that we thought something is
wrong with the State University, and
he wants to know what is wrong. Now,
Sonny, that is what is botherihg the
people. That is what they are differ
ing over. Some think one thing is
the matter and some think another
thing is the matter with it, and some
think good many things are wrong.
Indeed, there are few who know any
thing about the subject who think
nothing is wrong with it. For Sonny's
benefit we will say the special commit
tee of the legislature that investigated
the University last winter thought
there were several things wrong with
it, and they are able and incompatible
men. Sonny didn't know that, of
course.
Further, we will confide to you, Som
ny, that there is q commission ap-
pointed now under special order of
the legislature to try and find out what
is the matter with the three education
al institutions and see if some better
plan of conducting them cannot be de-
vised. When it reports, Sonny, you
may receive a copy of the report.
Sonny, you think, or say you think,
the University is not getting as much
money from the state as we said it is
getting. Now, Sonny, if you will look
up your code, or if you haven't one if
you will get one of your assistants who
has a code to do it for you, you will
find that besides the direct appropria-
ton made last winter that the institu-
ton is getting millage taxes, and that
it has sources of income that amount
to as much as we said it did.
Our contention is this, Sonny, that
for the amount of money Iowa is
pouring into it that the common peo-
pie, the average run of the taxpayers,
are not getting enough out of it. They
had better put part of that money into
an Improvement of Uncommon schools
and high schools, which are within
reach Of the people.

A Neat Roast.

The following diagnosis of prev

Morbus Sabbaticus.
Morbus Sabbaticus, or Sunday
Sickness, disease peculiar to church
members.
! The symptoms vary, but it never
interferes with the appetite.
1t never lasts more than "a hours.
No physician is ever called.

alent, and is destroying thousands
every year. C. "
The attack comes on suddenly every
Sunday; no symptoms are felt on Sat
urday night; the patient sleeps well
and wakes feeling we'll; eats a hearty
breakfast, but about church time the
attack comes on and continues until
the services are over for the morning.
Then the patient feels easy and eats a
hearty dinner. In the afternoon he
feels much better, and is able to take
walk and read the Sunday papers;
he eats a hearty supper, but about
church time he has another attack and
stays at home. He wakes up Monday
morning refreshed and able to go to
work, and does not have any symp-
toms of the disease until the following
