Very unkind.

A little coterie of editors or coterie
of little editors, we will not say which,
in northeastern Iowa, seem to have
instituted sort of mutual admiration
society, and say all manner of nice
things about each other, just as though
they are bright and twinkling stars in
the armament of newspaperdom. And
each copies what the others say of
HIM, keeping their little taffy mills
running over time to give their readers
all this valuable, indispensable news?
Undoubtedly they are the hubs around
which the universe revolves. the
very quint-essence of all that is good
and great, and their names will go
laundering down the ages to the
remotest recesses of time. Let the
pictures of Richard A Dana, Horace
Greeley, Joseph Medill anu other
great journalists hang on your walls
no more but be replaced by Autographs
of these more modern and up-to-date
specimens of pencil pushers. -Elkader

A Game of Graft,

Waukon and vicinity has had little
experience with another gang of
grafters. A party of four arrived in
the city last Friday and procured a
team from Charles Goepel and with
one they brought from McGregor
started on tour of the country.
They visited number of farmers and
made offers for their farms, stock,
etc., and In one instance bought some
sheep and made payment of five dol
lars on them and took receipt for
the amount. AT the A. o. Hansrud
farm they invited that gentleman to
pick the queen of spades out of three
cards for any sums he might care to
risk, and upon his declining, they
suggested that he accompany them to
town where they would get a room
and enjoy life. They wound VI
at Calmar, put the team in barn and
wrote to the McGregor and Waukor
livery stables telling them they could
get their teams at Calmar A war.
rant was issued for their arrest, but
as yet no trace of them has beer
found. STANDARD.

An Effective Eve Opener.

Once a thoughtful mother was in
the habit of carrying some PEPPERMINT
lozenges in her pocket for the delecta-
tion of her boy during church time,
and it was her wont to pass one over
TO her husband whenever she saw him
nodding in the throes of his Sunday
malady. One summer day big June
bug Numbered into their pow and
neatly folding up its wings into a
knapsack on its back, began taking a
walk on the boys collar. The mother
bravely closed her hand over the bug,
which thereupon drew up its feet and
feigned death, and she gently nudged
her husband and put it into his hand
to throw out of tine window beside
him. He, drawsy man, mistook it
for the usual familiar lozenge and
slipped it into his mouth. 1t acted as
an effective eye opener then and has
ever since prevented his sleeping in
church. Eek.

Claim Wonders for Vessels Driven by Air

VIM. B. Motherall, of North Nc
Gregor, has convinced a group of
capitalists that his principles for
building vessels will revolutionize
the construction Of launches, ships
and war craft. He claims that if
constructed according to his plans,
high power naptha launches will
attain a speed of 35 miles an hour,
and torpedo boat destroyers with 5000
horse power at least 90 miles. He
conceived the idea of placing cushion

states in reply to mandatory and house
owners threatened or undergoing attack
by the pest that complete dryness in
buildings is essential.
If the winged termites are seen to
emerge from any particular place, by the
removal of flooring and the opening Of
the walls, the colony may be reached
and destroyed by steam, hot water, or,
preferably, kerosene or some other petro-
leum oil. TO destroy the winged individ-
uals is of no value at all; the colony
itself must be reached.
But in places where the pest has be-
come serious, the only remedy seems to
be ultimately the replacing of wooden
floors, ETC., by stone, brick or cement.

PROGRESS MADE BY CROPS.
Weather Is Favorable for Corn Cu1ti-
walton and Wheat Harvest.

Weather Is Favorable for Corn Guilt
walton and Wheat Harvest.
The following is the general summary
of crop conditions as shown by the
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau:
With the exception of the upper Mis-
souri, valley, where low temperatures pre-
vailed, all districts east of the Rocky
mountains received ample heat during
the week ended June 10. The rainfall
was very unevenly distributed, being am
pie in most northern districts, but INSULT
cient in portions of the central valleys
and of the middle Atlantic and Southern
States, although good rains fell in some
parts of these districts. The week was
favorable for the cultivation of crops,
and this work, which in previous weeks
was much hindered, is now in a very sat
tsfactory state. Abnormally low temper
atures prevailed over most of the pla-
teau districts, with frosts in some places.
Except in eastern Missouri and central
and southern Illinois, corn has made good
progress throughout the corn belt. Gull
tiyation has been brought up to date, ex-
cept in portions of Michigan, Wisconsin
and South Dakota.
Winter wheat has progressed under
favorable conditions ana harvesting is
now well advanced in Kansas, Missouri
and southern Illinois, and has begun in
Indiana and Maryland. The reports from
the southern portion of tho wheat area
generally indicate yields lighter than
were anticipated. Fair yields of good
quality are reported from California, and
in Oregon and Washington the crop has
made good progress.
In portions of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa dry weather is needed FOR spring
wheat, but this crop has generally made
very satisfactory progress throughout
the spring wheat region and is beginning
to head in the southern portion. Very
favorable reports continue from the north
Pacific coast.
The oat crop has suffered to some ex-
tent from excessive moisture in Niscon-
sin and Minnesota, rust In southern
Iowa, rank growth in northern Illinois
and drought in southern Illinois, but in
these States and generally elsewhere the
condition of the crop is promising. Oaf
harvest is in progress as far north as
Missouri.
In Illinois drought continues in the
southern and central parts, where vege-
tation is suffering. Corn has made rapid
growth is clean, has been cultivated a
second or third time, and some laid by.
The replanted is up to a good stand.
Oats, rye, barley and berries are prom
ising; there is rank growth of oats in
the north; moisture is needed in the
south. Wheat harvest is we'll advanced
in the south and begun In the central
part; the outlook is favorable. Rye is
being cut in the south and is ripening in
the north. Barley is heading in the
north. A large crop of clover is assured.

SEVENTY-SIx.

what heroes from the woodland sprung,
When through the fresh awakened lana
The thrilling cry Of freedom rung,
And to the work of warfare strung
The yeomans iron hand!
Hills flung the cry to hills around,
And ocean-mart replied to mart,
And streams whose springs were yet IN
found,
Pealed far away the startling sound
Into the forests heart.
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain river swift and cold;
The borders of the stormy deep,
The Wales where gathered waters Sleep
Sent up the strong and bold,
As If the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath,
And from tho sods Of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of lion-hearted men
10 battle to the death.
The wife whose babe first smiled that oay'
The fair-fond bride of yester eve,
The aged sire. and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed it sin to grieve.
Already had the strife begun;
Already blood on Concords plain
Along the springing grass had run,
And blood had flowed at Lexington,
Like shower of April rain.
That death-stain on the vernal sward
Hallowed to freedom all the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhorred-
The f0otstep of foreign lord
Profaned the soil no more.

WINGED TERM1TE aged to colonies In
the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
A few days ago, Prof. Oldenbach in
formed Dr. L. o. Howard, government
entomologist, that on being called to ex-
anime into an accident at the big Epson
Nut and Bolt works, at Cleveland, where
in one man had been killed and another
injured, he discovered that the accident
was due to the work of termites. Ihese
pernicious insects had eaten out the IN
terror of wooden pillar foundations, so
that when two workmen happened TO
press too hardly against them, the pillars
collapsed
Prof Oldenbach attributes mSAy SINH
lar accidents and the destruction or
buildings in Cleveland and other cities
to the work of termites.
The invasion of the United States by
the termite has become very thorough. 1t
has been foand on mountain tops OF
Colorado at height of 1000 feet.
