Useless Run.

Forgetting that a board remained
over the top of their chimney the fam
ily Of b. w. LOCKER, 401 North First

morning. The smoke backed down the

CORN is DAMAGED

But Cannot be Estimated - Crop on
the Low Ground Suffers Most-Tem-
perature Drops to SO, Coolest Of the
Fall.
The first white freezing frost of the
fall came Wednesday night and will
result in damage to the corn crop
which cannot at this time be estimated.
The frost was heavy turnout the
county, and the roofs and sidewalks
were covered with white this morning.
The crop on the low ground, which as
a rule has not reached the advance
stage Of maturity, as that higher up,
will suffer the most. 1t is believed the
damage to the corn upon the high
ground will be inconsiderable. Just
the extent of the damage can only
be guessed at, and can not be ac-
curately told until several days have
elapsed. The temperature during the
night fell to 33 degrees, one degree
above freezing point, and the coolest
of the fall. This was eight degrees
colder than the night previous. At Z
o'clock this morning 81, against 45 of
the day previous, was regist Yes

CRITICIZE THE LIGHTING.
Grand Jury Thinks That County Farm
Should Be liohted by Electricity.

Should Be Lighted by Electricity.
The grand jury of the August term
of the district court, which was dis
charged by Judge Caswell this morning,
returned from his visit to the country
farm Wednesday evening. The day had
been spent at the farm in careful in
spection of the building and premises.
The jury found everything at the farm
in first class shape, excepting the light
ing and this the jury criticizes. The
members think that lamps are unsafe
in an institution of this kind, where
there are insane patients and others
who are old and feeble, and apt to be
careless with lamps. The jury thinks
that the county might maintain, In
connection with its heating plant, an
electric, lighting plant. This could
be installed with but little expense, and
maintained cheaply in connection with
the heating. The suggestion as to
better lighting facilities was embodied
in the report of the grand jury.

Is but One Issue.

w. j, Bryan, the great Demo
cratic leader states the situa ton in
these words; uHow will the Dem
ocratic party meet the present is
suesl Or, rather, how will the
Democratic party meet the present
issue, for there is in reality but one
issue, and that issue runs through
all questionsi The great and over
shsdowing question pre- scented by
all the issues discussed is; Shall
the corporations or the people con-
troll the government of the United
Statesi Today the corporations are
in absolute control. Even when
the supreme court decides that the
government has power to destroy
the trusts, the attorney general
rushes forward and assures the
combinations that the administaa-
ton has no INTENT on of distu rbing
them. The rule of these corpora
tons is unlimited and complete.
1.-THE preside Mt refuses to enforce
the law as it stands, and the Re.
publican congress refuses to enact
new legislation. The government
is being used for the enrichm ent
of the few at the expense of the
manyi officials are making money
by the sale Of their influence, and
corruption is rampant in city, state
and nation. The public conscience
has been supplied by commercial
ism, until the grossest offences
against liberty and good govern
ment do not awaken the protest
that ought to be made against ev-
en- trivial departures from the path
of rectitude.
