THE p. E. o's CELEBRATE

The z. E O.'s did the time full ius-
tice on Saturday evening. The club
rooms was decorated with corn and
pumpkin in great ABUNDANCE. Upon the
platform WIS tent with kettle plac-
ed upon stones and there the witches
brewed potion containing the for
tunes of the guests. The witches
wore black costumes with skull and
cross-bones decoration and were very
Impressive. "Cats you have met" was
game played, the questions beng
written on cards, cut the shape of q
cat. The prizes were pumpkins. This
game was followed by an attempt to
pin tail on large cat, the gentle
men we're blind-folded and theri mis-
directed zeal was very funny to watch.
Some fortunes drawn from alarge pump
kins were very funny. They were
clever and full of all manner of pre-
dictions for future of veal or woe.
Refreshments were served consist
ed of two courses. the second being
pumpkin pie, thus showing the great
responsibility of this amiable vegeta-
BILE. Small cakes adorned with cats
were another surprise awaiting the
guests. After an apple eating contest
by the "Brothers-fn-law" the very jolly
and pleasant party broke up The
committee are entitled to great
deal of credit for the original decora-
tions,and for the very funny figures or
scare-crows that greeted the guests at
the door. Carl Caswell was the cat
artist and he really made some excel
lent cats.

THE WINTER OF 1880.

The winter of 1880 was one of the Sc
verest in the history of Iowa. 1t COM
menced promptly in October. A big
storm came up on the 14th of that month
and that snow remained until the next
spring. Farmers did not hurry much with
their corn that fall for the reason no one
supposed it would continue to snow right
along. Instead of thawing off it continued
to pile up more and the first thing farm
ers knew the corn fields were entirely
covered. Some farmers with big herds of
stock to feed found it impossible to get to
their corn. In places the stock were turn
ed into the fields and lowed tc get what
they could. A few ears could be dug out
to keep them from starving but not enough
to feed them for the market Later in
the winter the blockades commenced and
it was no unusual thing to have the trains
delayed for days at time. Then came
the fuel famines. 1t was not as bad here
as little further west. Trains used to
get along to this point and then have to
give it up and 60 back to Fort Dodge and
wait for the next storm to subside. Bust.
ness of all kind was at standstill all WIN
ter. Farmers had nothing to market be-
cause it was all in the field. There were
days at time when the stores were hard
ly opened. Business men played cards,
checkers or anything to pass the time
away. Late in April there came the final
wind up in storm that surpassed any
thing else all winter and it was eleven
days before Manson secured mail or any
kind of fuel or provisions.
The corn was picked that season as late
as the first of June. Flowing for corn and
picking corn at the same time was no un-
common sight. The corn was badly rot
ted and farmers lost heavily as we'll as lay
ing out of the use of it all winter. The
summer following, however. was boom
crop year and in no time all had forgotten
this the worst winter we ever saw in Iowa
except in 1869 which was duplicate of
this one of IS years ago.-Manson Journal.
The City Federation had an inter-
esting meeting on Saturday. The COM
mittees on ticket selling reported
and plans for future work were intro
duced. The ladies feel that they are
going to give splendid course and
that every one who buys two dollar
ticket will receive four dollars worth
of pleasure. Mrs. j. B. Romans is the
right person in the right place as head
of the City federation and in leaving
nothing undone to make the course
success.

cRAMER NOT FIRED.

THE REVIEW hastens to correct its
statement made last week to the effect
that Sheriff Meehan dismissed Deputy
Cramer to make room for Cousin Jack"
Mr.. Cramer resigned because he thought
he had better opening in Nebraska and
Sheriff Meehan tells US that he urged
him to stay in his present position. The
REVIEW does not wish to do him any in
justice in this matter and will state that it
believes that the Sheriff Is fully exoner-
atei as far as any attempt 10 GUST Cramer
is concerned
Sheriff Meehan has threatened us with
dire consequences should we presume to
criticize his appointment of Cousin Jack
7ayN deputy. He holds that it is not our
province to criticise unless Cousin Jack
shall prove to be incompetent In other
words if the new deputy should make so
costly error that would involve the
county or the rights of the individual
then the REVIEW might properly criticise,
otherwise on our heads be it.
It seems to US that this would be good
deal like locking the barn door after the
horse was minor quantity. We believe it
is the province Of the press to criticise
the official acts of pnblic officers. The ap-
pointment of Cousin Jack is in our opinion
mistake. In the first place we do not
believe in the appointment of relations of
any kind to subordinate Offices, in the
second place there is a very general o.
pinion abroad that in this particular case
the appointee has neither the training nor
ability to make a good deputy. This is
not our opinion alone but one that we have
heard expressed by many, We think it
would be proper for the board to examine
carefully into the qualification of Cousin
Jack before confirming the appointment.
Should the appointment be confirmed and
Cousin lack do his work we'll the REVIEW
will not be the last to give him full credit.
but we feel it our duty and our right to
express our disapproval of the appoint
ment at this time. Further, and in all
kindness we wish to say. that nothing is
to be gained by any attempt to terrorize
the REVIEW, it should be beneath the dig
nifty of any public officer to make such at
tempt, and the REVIEW would certainly
be guilty of the veriest cowardice if it al
