DEMOCRATIC ISSUE OF 1904.

The Review Of Reviews, one O.
the best magazines published, writ
ing on some of the issues that will
be discussed by the Democratic
spell.binders during the presidential
campaign says:
-"Imperalism and the trusts were
made the active issues of Bryan's
campaign in 1900, and the silver
plank was put in merely theore,1
cal Of academic statement, being
carried by a majority of one vote,
and then only in Difference to Mr..
bryan personally, since he was TO
be the candidate. The Democrats
now, In effect, admit that their OPP
ponents were right; and unless they
can show other very good grounds
for turning the Republicans out of
power, their attitude ON the money
question will simply amount t.
confession tnat the party that is at
the helm is entitled to further con-
fidence. Unfortunately for their
logical position, the Democrats nave
not succeeded in presenting a very
clear or convincing bill Of particu-
lars against dominant party. Thus,
eight years ago they staked their
whole party, existence upon the
free-silver issue, and they now con-
Tess that they were thoroughly
wrong. Four years ago, they made
their fight-first, against the Re-
publican expansion policy, and
second, against Republican colIu
sion with trusts and capitalistic
combinations. The intelligent voters
must wish to know whether the
democratic party still condemns the
Republican policy as completely as q
IL did four years ago; for, obviously.

DIVORCES ARE DENIED
Judge Preston Refuses Two Petit
tions and Accepts One.

The time of the district court since
the opening Tuesday afternoon has
been given quite largely to the hear
ing of divorce cases. Judge Preston
this morning refused to grant Mrs,
Harriet Milburn a decree of divorce
from her husband, Abraham Milburn.
The petitioner asked for separation
on the grounds of habitual drunken
ness and cruelty. The history Of the
case as shown in the evidence deduct
ed before the court is somewhat un.
usual. The plaintiff stated that the
defendant had been drunk within two
weeks after their marriage. She had
known the man but four weeks when
they were married, and during that
time he had called upon her but four
times, and then not to come into her
home. She had not made inquiries
Is to his former reputation, his char
acter or his standing. Her charges OF
cruelty were not corroborated and
were denied by the defendant. The
evidence had tended TO show that the
man was rather more inclined TO
sprees than to habitual drinking, and
there was some testimony to show
that the wife had also been drinking a
number Of times. The court was or
the opinion that there were no
grounds for a divorce. Parties are
too prone to jump into matrImony ,anu
if conditions are not suited to their
pleasure they likewise come to the
court hurriedly looking for relief. The
courts are not for such use, which is
more Of abuse than use.
Divorce was also refused Oscar o.
Riley VS.. Cora B. Riley. The plain
tiff in this case charged infldellCy.
Having heard the evidence pro and
con, the court came to the conclusion
that here also existed no room for
complaints and grounds for divorce.
In the case Of Stringer VS.. Stringer,
wherein the wife showed that she had
lived with defendant for a period or
t~wenty-one years and where there was
ample confederation of cruelty to the
extent that the plaintiffs life was in
jeopardy, the bonds of union were an
nulled.

MINERS STILL OUT.
Unable to Reach an Agreement with
Operators at Newton.

Newton, Dec. 10.-No settlement
as yet has been reached in the trou-
BILE between the miners and the op-
orators of the mines south of town.
The operators say they cannot meet
the competition of the coal coming
over the railroads here in town.
They have been selling their coal for
10 and IL cents per bushel at the
mine, but cannot deliver it in town
for less than 13 and il cents, while
the coal dealers are selling the same
grade for II cents, and their best for
Is cents. What the operators want
Is that the miners stand for half the
drop SO they car sell the same grade
at the same price as the dealers, de-
liyered in town. On Monday morn
ing they proposed to the miners a
cut in wages from 6 cents, which
they have been getting, to 5h cents.
The miners seemed not to see things
quite that way and hence the trouble.

MONSTER PUMPKIN.
Weighs 1922 Pounds and is Perhaps a
Record-Breaker.

Jack Wilson has on exhibition at his
business place, the Rock Island 81
loon on High avenue west, what is un.
doubtedly the largest pumpkin ever
raised in Mahaska county.
The pumpkin stands over two feet
in height and its lateral diameter is
about two and a half feet. The verti
cal circumference is five feet and ten
inches and the lateral is six feet, eight
inches. The huge vegetable weighs
1924 pounds. This is a record
breaker. The pumpkin was raised on
the Wilson farm near Evans.

Lo, the Poor Indian.

If through the mutations of modern
business or for any other of a large
variety of reasons that might arise one
were to want a wooden Indian the
problem of acquiring it in a hurry-if
it were of the kind that is sometimes
used as sign for tobacco shOps-would
be found beset with difficulties. This
is not because such figures are so very
hard to find, nor yet because they are
still so popular as to be in great de-
mand, but those in existence are not
only in use by their owners. but. in
the general case. they are greatly cher
ished, no matter what their state of
decay, and the business of making
them of wood has been given up. One
might, by chance, be found in some
out Of the way auction room. but at
other times it might not. One might,
indeed, be made to order, but it would
take quite hunt to find the man to
make it.
The wooden Indian, which used to
be one Of the imperative necessities
of every we'll equipped tobacco shop.
is now disappearing as rapidly as its
flesh and blood prototypes, chased out
