M'NEELEY SUCCEEDS DAWSON.
Will Have Charge of the Campaign
Speakers in Iowa.

Des Moines, July 14.-It is under
stood that L. C.. McNeeley, of the
Third congressional district, will be
in charge of the speakers bureau OF
the republican state headquarters
this year during the campaign.
Mr.. McNeeley was Colonel Hender-
sons clerk for many years and after
wards became Congressman Birdsalls
private secretary. This position he
now holds.
AS manager of the speakers bureau
he will succeed A. F.Dawson, Senator
Allison's private secretary, who had
charge of it for many years and or
ganized it on perfect basis. Mr..
Dawson is a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for congress in the
Second district. This convention is
held July 81, and it is assumed that
Mr.. Dawson will be nominated.
But whatever the result in the Sec.
ond, he will not be at the neadquar.
tiers this year. His loss will be very
great, for he was one of the most eff
fective men in organization.
]. w. Richards, of Waterloo, will
be in charge of the literary bureau OF
the headquarters this year That is
the present arrangement, at least. II
is not known that the bereavement re-
Gently suffered by Mr.. Richards will
result in altering his plans for the
campaign, at least.

PULPIT VACATED.
Sensation in the Fairfield Christian
Church.

Fairfield, July 16.- The official
board of the Christian church of this
city declared it's pulpit vacant at a
meeting yesterday, and recommend
ed that A. r. Adams, pastor for the
past year, preach no more until he
purges himself of a serious charge
which has been brought against him.
1t is said that Adams, while returning
from a church convention a few
weeks ago, spent the night in hote,
in neighboring town with a woman
who was not his wife. While he in.
dignantly denies the charge, the board
thought it had sufficient proof to war.

investigation of the case. Adams, &C,
companied by his wife, left Fairfield

AN EXAMPLE,.

We have only to go back to the last
administration of President Cleveland
for an example Of tho truth Of Secre-
tary Shaw's proposition. Tho tariff
smashing bill knocked business sky
ward. Mills closed. Only portion
of the people found employment.
Prices went down. OF course they
did, for who was there to purchase?
Does not everyone remember the free
soup houses for the starving multi
tudes who could not get employment.
What was the use of a butcher shop
advertising meats at reduced price
when the laborer without work did
not have the price? 1t was tantaliz-
ing for him to be told that he could
purchase a loaf of bread for a cent or
two less than in good times, for in
good times he would have had five
cents in his pocket to pay for a loaf,
but now if bread was selling for a
penny he could not procure it.
That is what Secretary Shaw wish
ed the workingmen of Wilmington to
understand. If they are all at work
at fair wage they have the price or
bread and meat in their pockets, and
if the price is higher than in troub-
lous times they should remember that
it is the farmer who is prospecting
with them, and the farm and the mill
are necessary to each other if there
is to be general prosperity.-Philadel
phia Inquirer.

1 The Sunset Magazine is especially
prolific In advertisements Of this
character, the May issue containing
about one hundred pages, most OF
which are devoted to the exploitation
Of such rapidly growing towns as
Stockton, Hot Sulphur Springs, Sacra-
mento, San Benito, Woodland, ana
such localities as the Santa Maria Val
ley. Kings County, Shasta County,
and scores of others.
1t is only question of time until
all magazines of general circulation
will be carrying some of this adver-
Using. 1t only remains for the pro-
moters to force upon these advertis-
ers realization of the value Of gen.
eral publicity judiciously applied. AL
ready several New York magazines
are sending their representatives to
the coast. These representatives con-
stitute the opening wedge; they are
the pioneers, and from reports re-
ceiyed, all indications point toward
the speedy conversion of California
advertisers who have land, fruit and
the natural advantages to sell to in
vestors. ....
The Sunset Magazine, the pioneer
Of its class in this particular kind OF
advertising, is a medium as well
adapted to meet the requirements or
those who are using it as any publ
cation that might be mentioned, but
the field is SO wide that there is plen-
ty of profitable room in other maya
zines of general circulation.
Pacific Coast Advertising for June,
in an article entitled Advertising
Oranges" quotes from w. D. Curtis
speech before the annuar convention
of the California Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION:
Oranges are regarded by many
people ais luxury.
Oranges are not luxury. They
are an important article of food.
eff people of means knew this they
would use a dozen oranges where
they now use one, and people in more
moderate circumstances, if they real
lied that little money spent in or
anges would prevent serious sick
ness, would feel justified in spending
many times as much for oranges as
they do now.
"The trouble is they don't know.
Why? The orange men have never
told them.
Orange men agree that the produc.
ton is increasing; that in a few years
it may amount to from 10000 to 49,,
900 carloads. They agree that this
year the demand has been lighter
than last year and attribute this to
the various minor causes, all IL
which sum up into the broad fact that
the people who eat oranges have not
eaten as many as they previously did
Your market is not an actual real.
ity to you, it is simply some point to
which you ship cars and where some
man gets the most money he can out
of the oranges. You must come tt
realize that your market is another
set Of human beings constituted the
same as you and your families are;
that hey have daily needs to be sup
piled and pleasures to cater to; thai
they are open to argument about or
anges just as you are about Grape
Nuts or Sapolio or Force.
Oranges must be advertised"

WANTED DAMAGES.
But Rev. Brockard Forgot to Appear
at the Trial.

Bussey, July 16.-Rev. Brockard
brought suit before Esquire Pack for
$24.99 damages claimed from the
Wabash railroad for failing to call
out "Bussey" on their arrival here on
the night of June 81, and carrying
him on to Lovilia. He was com.
PEELED, though cripple, to walk back
here at midnight and at time wnen
the district conference of his church
was in session in Bussey, thereby
keeping him from the business re-
sponsibilities and pleasures of the
gathering. Neither Rev. Brockard
himself not anyone else who knew
the facts was present and no verdict
for damages could be rendered.

Some feeling exists in Pells

Some feeling exists in Pella, "
says the Chronicle, among restau-
rant keepers to the effect that it is
not right for benevolent societies and
other organizations to take advantage
of the large crowds that are in town
on such days as the Fourth of July
and other occasions and run stands
or serve dinner. They contend that
the business people of the city are the
ones who have to pay for all such
observances and that it is not right
the other people to come in and take
large share of the patronage and
not pay anything into the subscrfp,
ton fund"
