Leap year is having it's effect.
A young man called on a girl
recently and she complimented
about his new cloths. "They
look good enough to be a we'd

Our Choice for President.

The boss of the shanty has
left for Des Moines as a dele
gate to the Democratic State
Convention, leaving the office in
charge of the office ID, during
his absence, so we have conclud-
ed to nominate a candidate, a
man in every way worthy the
hearty support of every voter
in the land. 1t will be noted
that our choice has been made
after due elaboration, no small
work, considering the multipli-
city of parties to select from.
We have the Democrats, Re-
organizers, Republicans, Stand
Patters, Socialists, Temperance,
United Christian and Negroes,
ali expecting to have tickets in
the field, so we have concluded
to name a candidate upon whom
all can unite. That man is
GEORGE B. MCCI.ELLAND
Mayor of the city of New York,
a young, energetic, scholarly,
honest statesman, popular with
the people, morally clean and a
friend of labor and laboring
men, "the son of his father
General George B. McClelland,
the distinguished Union soldier.
His personal popularity is as
sured by his $4,000 majority for
mayor of the city of New York.
This selection may only hold
good for a few days, or until
the boss returns home from the
state convention, but until then
George B. McClelland, of New
York, is our first, last, and only
choice for President of the Uni
ted States at the next election.

Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, May g.
For the week ending Monday
a. M, May 2, the daily mean
temperature was from 2 to 5
degrees below normal. The
weather, however, was mostly
fair, and at the close the condi-
lions were about all that could
be desired for farming opera
lions and the termination of
cereals. Reports are generally
favorable as to the condition of
oats, spring wheat and barley,
which appear to be generally
coming up in good time and
promising a fair stand.
Good progress has been made
in blowing and preparing
ground for corn, and a very
large area is now in readiness
for the planters. In some fav-
ored localities planting was be-
gun on the last two days of
April, and with continued good
weather a very considerable
acreage will be planted the
first week in May. Conditions
are much moro favorable than
at the corresponding date last
year for the cereal crops and
al kinds of fruit, except peach
es. The season is ten days
late as to termination of seed
and growth of vegetation, but
the general outlook has not
been more encouraging at the
first of May within the past
five years.
Some people do not seem to
know that an editor does not
know the age, birth, nativity
and history Of every man or
woman who happens to die in
his neighborhood and they ex-
pect an editor to give at least
a column obituary notice of the
departed, while they themselves
make no effort to furnish him
with the facts and data of the
persons life. Such people
should know when an editor
has announced the fact of a
persons death, and where,
when and how it occurred, his
duty as a news gatherer ends.
If relatives want an obituary
notice it is their business 10
write it, or at least, show the
editor the courtesy of furnish
ing him the facts to write
about. Exchange.

New Fish and Game Laws.

The last legislature, like most
others, has tinkered with the
game laws of the state, and
sportsmen are now required to
post up before they unwittingly
run into the hands of some
game warden for violating laws
OF which they know nothing.
The changes in the open seas
o is and the amount of game to
be taken in a single day are the
most important.
Under the amended law the
closed fishing season will COM
mence November Is, instead of
November 1.
The open season will COM
mence May 1 and close Novem-
Der Is. The use of the trot line
is prohibited.
The possession of a seine or
spear is prima facie evidence of
the fact that it is intended for
illegal use and any such device
may be seized by any peace
officer and destroyed. Seines
can be used in the lakes be-
tween June / and December 1.
The closing of the open seas
on on quail has been changed
from January l to December Is.
Under an amendment of the
law ducks are placed in the cat
egory of wild birds which it is
unlawful to kill in greater num-
bers than twenty-five a day.
Twenty-Five game birds can be
killed every day for five days,
for instance, but not more than
twelve of them shipped in any
day by freight or express, and
each shipment must be accom-
panied by an affidavit that the
birds were killed for private use
and not intended for market
that they are not shipped for
sale or profit. No firm shall
have more than twenty five
game birds, other than ducks in
their possession at any time.
The proposition to protect
the prairie chicken for a term
Of three years was passed upon
favorably by the legislative
committee, as was the proposed
license law.

editor of the Weekly Times ard
was exceedingly popular. Chas.
A. Robertson was the publisher
of the Mapleton Press, and it
was geographically as pretty
as the roses of spring. The
Sioux City Journal was the
only daily in Sioux City, not
more than half as large as now
and then did not publish the
Sunday metropolitan, but it
had the same strong brain to
guide it. Then, as now, it was
a great gatherer of news and a
maker of public opinion.
John c. Kelley had just come
into possession of the Sioux
City Tribune. 1t was no great
property in that period as it is
now. 1t was doing business in
an upstairs room and printed
only weekly edition, but Mr..
Kelley had a trained mind in
newspaper work and he has
achieved a splendid success,
carrying his paper from a
weekly to a daily step by step,
until it stands first of the Iowa
evening dailies. This reminis-
cense of newspaper work may
not be wholly interesting to
the Democrats readers, but it
is sort of an unwilling Of
other days 1T has not told all.
There were lights and shad-
ows, success and failure in the
newspaper field here and there,
but it is a pleasure to know
there are those in the field who
have not tired after a long
service.

This is, considering the times, a

their liberal spirit.

We notice one feature of the
ladies who attend the theatre,
worthy of all commentator.
The time was when at such
gatherings, the ladies were in
the habit of retaining their
hats on their heads during the
performance, hats generally
about the size of a bicycle wheel
but now about the first thing
a lady does on taking her seat
is to remove her hat, thus Civ
ing gentlemen on seats behind
them chance to see the stage,

An Open Letter

From the Chaplin, S. c.,
News: Early in the spring my
wife and | were taken with
diarrhoea and so severe were
the pains that we called a ply
sician who prescribed for us,
but his medicines failed to give
any relief. A friend who had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
on hand gave each of us a dose
and we at once felt the effects.
| procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we
were entirely cured. It is a
wonderful remedy and should
be found in every household.

1t was just eighty-fve years
ago last Monday since Thomas
Wildey of Baltimore, with four
associates, started the order of
Odd Fellows, which now has a
membership of over 100000.
The anniversary was fittingly
observed in the city named,
though Odd Fellows deeply re-
GREETED the impossibility of
holding exercises in the old
Seven Stars tavern, where the
order was founded. The vener-
able inn was destroyed in the
great fire of Feb. 8 last. An
Odd Fellow tablet will be placed
on the new building now about
to be erected.

Japan VS.. Russia.

I Japan VS.. Russia.
1t is very difficult to know that
war exists between the two ma
lions named above without feel
ing a lively interest in the fl
nal outcome of the contest.
Russia being one of the most
powerful military nations on
the earth, while Japan is a very
small and weak nation, one that
has, like a newly discovered
planet, made its appearance in
the political heavens, and is at
no distant day to become a pow
er in the commercial and mill
tary world, which leaves many
in doubt as to which nation is
entitled to the sympathy of the
civilized world, and especially
the people of the United States
in the present struggle.
We admit that our sympathy
is decidedly with Japan, and as
the editor of this paper is alb
sent, justice demands that we
should admit that these views
are personal, and not the dictum
of the editor of the TINES, MOI
do we presume to represent the
views of the editor who is now
absent.
Russia is a political despot,
with a history written in the
innocent.blood of nations, espec-
tally weak nations. By force of
arms she despoiled Poland and
Hungary, and other nations. and
will now, if possible, chain ia
pan to her victorious chariot
wheels. Her record is a record
of despotism, marked by acts OF
cruelty calculated to make in
nocence blush and angels weep.
The road to Siberia is marked by
the graves of the exile, forced
from their homes and loved
ones for a home in that cold and
desolated land, for daring to
wish to breathe the free air of
heaven. Her fight againstJapar
is a fight for conquest, and her
victory will merely be to add to
1.-THE number of her slaves.
Japan is fighting for home,
for justice and right, and de.
serves, at least, the moral sup
port of the people Of the Uni
ted States. 1t is not our fight,
but it is a fight against the ag.
gression of Russian despotism
and we hope the god of battle
will give the victory to the little
brown men who are so nobly
rallying around their flag in de
Tense of human rights. May
her victory be as complete as
her cause is just, is our prayer

NEWSPAPER Renaissance.

NEWSPAPER Renaissance
From the Onawa Democrat.
The Mondamin Enterprise
closed it's fifth year last week,
and the Democrat is pleased to
know that it is we'll established,
and deserves the reasonable sup
port it is getting. Tie Demo-
crat has been accredited in days
past of having an interest in the
paper, but the only interest it
has ever had was that of good
will. The Enterprise was estab-
lished by the late Bruce Morri-
son who by his original and Wig
orous writing, made it of perma-
ment value and influence in the
community, and won for it a
contemplation on the exchange
table. 1t is now published by
Wonder & Son, and edited by
%. G. Wonder, who learned his
trade in the Democrat office.
The Democrat editor has not
only kindly feeling for the En-
terprise by reason of the kim
ship through its entire life, but
bears to it's town a remembran-
ce Of good will.
About twenty-three years ago
in Mondamin the proprietor Of
the Democrat began in a most
humble way his newspaper work
A small printing outfit was bot
of Samuel DEVELOP River Sioux
who had used it for printing a
small paper in Little Sioux, but
for lack of supper it was discon-
tinued, and the little plant with
a musty mortgage wrapped
around it was stored, awaiting
another's call. Could this old
press tell it's story, it would be
one of early newspapering in
Magnolia, Little Sioux and 9TH
err towns. 1t is now used by
that veteran newspaper man,
d. w. Butts, of Little Sioux, in
printing his paper.
Mondamin in these days con-
tanned one hundred and twenty
five people, Modale and Little
Sioux at that time had no pa
pers, and the 'Independent, :"
the Mondamin paper, covered
these towns. Mondamin had 2
merchants who used printers
lax without stint. They were
P. c. Spooner & Son, and z. T.
Noyes. Both firms became rich.
DR.. Huff was then in Modale in
| the drug business and was a lib
eral advertiser. Croasdale at
Little Sioux was an advertiser,
and Mike Murry, when the spir-
it moved him right. Over at
River Sioux, e. M. Califf was
selling lots Of goods and was
using printers ink freely.
In these days the publisher of
the Democrat learned the value
ola good advertiser to the news
paper and the community. A
merchant who advertises is new
err classed with the small men
of a town they do not belong
to the narrow and stingy set.
Invariably they are the liberal
and aggressive merchants of
any and all communities.
In reverting back to those
times it is with pleasure that
the services of A. G. Hard is
remembered splendid print
err and an all around country
newspaper man. The several
months he was in the office was
of much worth to the proprietor
who had little else than indie
pendence and a fair amount of
energy. The office also had the
assistance for a time of that
veteran newspaper man, D. w.
Butts. Those men were ripe
in experience and the then
young proprietor considered
himself more a pupil and serv-
ant than a boss. In that hum
bic newspaper plant there was
one corner always sought, for

L. Is the Hungarian Bronze
Grass suitable for pasture? In
answer to request for informa-
ton on the subject, the follow
ing letter was received and ac-
cepted by the Club as answer
| to the same.
Ames, Ia, April 20, 1904.
Mr.. j. G. Brundige. Dear Sir:
Your favor in reference to
Bronze Grass is received. Prof.
Thomas in his late book on
"Grasses and How to Grow
Them" says that Russian
Bronze Grass is essentially a
pasture grass, all kinds of stock
being fond of it. No other
grass, unless it be orchard
grass, will furnish grazing for
so large a portion of the year,
and it is also a good haying
grass. The greatest weakness
in Russian Bronze Grass is it's
tendency to thicken to such an
extent that growth is checked
in consequence. Its average
height is about "a inches. 1t
does we'll where moisture is
abundant and temperature
moderate. 1t will also do we'll
on high, dry lands, where rain
fall is not more than IL or Is
inches. | believe that the best
crops of this grass are found
on valley lands with a deep,
moist soil Astounding in humus.
Yours truly,
w. RI Ohm
2. What is the best and
most durable. fence for a house
yard, cost considered? Ans. 1t
was suggested that farmers en-
large their door yards, and build
fences to suit their taste, and
| if desirable to exclude chickens
from the door yard, use 4-foot
woven Wire fence with orna-
mental top.
3. Would it be for the best
interests of the corn producers
to increase the yield of corn
ten bushels to the acre? Ans.
Yes.
Questions for next meeting:

influence, precept or example:
Discussion opened by Mr.. Van

2. Which would be the bet
ter for the rising generation
and why-provide simply a
comfortable living now, and
lay by something to start them
in life; or, surround them with
things beautiful and provide
means for a higher culture and
thereby lay up nothing for a
future day? Discussion opened

along public highways; if so,
where and what varieties? Dis
cussion opened by Mrs. Dwell
