The majority report of the house in

partial report. the nub Of which is in
the last two paragraphs, which are in
substance I'VE find that the action OF
Mr.. NiedringhauS in the matter was in
stigated solely by desire TO comply
with the law, and was such as any
loyal party man might have done un-
der the circumstances, and that his
action twas honest and above criti-
cism."

Electric Road From Casper

The Northwestern road is
likely to have some little com
petition on its Casper extension,
though only for a stretch of
about forty-fve miles.
The Chicago & Pacific electric
line is projected by a company
of Casper men, assisted by
eastern capital. 1t is proposed
to build from Casper to Alcova,
and then for a distance of a
number of miles up into the
Sweetwater country. Papers
have been filed at the land
office in Douglas, giving the
route of the proposed road. 1t
is proposed to generate power
for the road by using the great
Pathfinder dam now being con-
structed by the government.
1t is thought the road will open
up a great summer resort at
Alcova, where celebrated hot
are located. World

Thursday evening the Wood
bine band gave their first open
air concert on our streets. 1t
fully sustained their we'll earn
ed reputation as one of the best
bands in Western Iowa. The
streets were thronged with not
only the people of the city, but
crowds were in from the coun-
try and enjoyed the occasion as
was plainly to be seen. Weun-
derstand as yet no arrangements
have been made with the band
by our citizens for a continu-
ance of these concerts, as in
years gone by, but we believe
the money necessary to have
them will be wisely spent and
that our country cousins will
enjoy them as we'll as our home
people and that it will be the
means of drawing people to our
city. Let us have the weekly
concert if it does cost something

Several weeks ago at a NEE

In a Great Hurry.

1t is wonderful to note the
interest manifested in some
quarters, by politicians, TO get
in on the first floor, for nomi-
nation for office in Iowa. 1t
must not be forgotten that Iowa
will have no election this year,
why then, this rush to be an
nounced as a candidate at this
early date? Iowa is distinguish
ed for its great men, and with
it's 100000 republican majority,
and every voter qualified for
any office, from road supervi-
sor to President of the United
States, should induce US all to
take a rest until next year.
The time never was, and per-
haps never will be when a scar
city of candidates will cause an
uneasiness to the dominant par
ty, and that many a good man
has been ruined by being enter
ed in the political race at too
early date, and like a tender
plant, when the hot sun of op-
position comes, he withers and
dies. The idea that any certain
man is esential to success in a
political contest is absurd, for
experience has demonstrated
that every occasion has discov-
cred the right man for the oc-
casion, for in Iowa, two hours
is long enough, at any time, to
select from among the thous-
ands of great men who always
have their political lightning
rod up ready to catch the cleo
trio spark that will make them
the leader of his party. Let us
then, take a rest.

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending June 5, '05.
Des Moines, Iowa. This has
been the best week of the sea-
son, the average rainfall being
below and the temperature
above normal. In scattered
localities there were showers
heavy enough to cause some
delay in farm work, but gener-
ally conditions were highly ia
vorable, and good progress has
been made in finishing replant-
ing and pushing the cultivation
of the cornfields. Most of the
reports indicate good progress
in cleaning the corn, and the
late planted fields show more
ready termination and a better
stand than the earliest plant
ing. Altogether the condition
of the corn crop is better than
it was at the corresponding
date last year, the fields being
dryer and cleaner, and the
plants show better color.
There has been sufficient
moisture and heat to maintain
normal growth of grass, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, potatoes and
garden truck. A very abund-
ant crop of Strawberries is now
being harvested. There are
some reports from the southern
section of apples dropping bad
ly, but the general condition of
that important fruit is promis-
ing. The cherry crop will be
very light. Grapes show a lib
eral fruiting.

DIED.,

In this city this morning at 4
O'Clock, after several days suf-
fering, John Garrett, age about
70 years.
Death, under all circumstan
ces, is always attended with
sorrow and regret, but when
one reaches the end of lifes
journey, in a strange land, far
from relatives and friends and
native home, with no mothers
gentle voice to cheer them in
their last hour, no sisters gen.
tie hand to press the throbbing
brow, no daughter or wife to
hold the cup of water to the
parched lips, but alone they go
out upon the lonely journey to
that far off journey from which
no traveller returns, death be-
comes more sad.
Old Jack, as he was always
called, has been a citizen of Mo.
Valley for many years, coming
from Canada to New York, and
drifting west, he, in an early
day, was a clerk on a steam
boat plying between Sioux City
and Fort Benton, and later liv-
ed in Sioux City..and from there
he came to Missouri Valley and
took a position in the office of
the F. d. & M. V. Railroad Co.,
but growing old and feeble, he
left the railroad office, and for
a time, followed book keeping
for several business firms, and
finally, some eight years ago he
came to the Times office where
he has since lived, keeping the
books of the office of the Times
and living in the back room in
the office.
He had been quite feeble for
some time, and on last Friday
he had a light shock of paraly-
sis that rendered his speech a
little difficult, and on Sunday
morning he had another shock,
when it was thought best to re-
move him to the Gasson Hospi-
tol in this city, where he could
have better care and attention.
He never rallied but gradually
became weaker, and although
he was unable to talk, he SEEM
ed to recognize acquainances
who called at his room. At 4
o'clock this morning his spirit
took its flight and the old tired
body of John Garrett is at rest.
If no word is received from
his relatives, he will be Luried
in Rose Hill Cemetery at2 p. m.
! Thursday.

The Illinois Central railroad
has declared war against the
dandelions that have almost
ruined the fine lawn in front of
their city depot. Five men
were at work yesterday digging
the pests up with knives. Many
lawns in the city have been
overgrown by the yellow flowers
and enough seed has already
ripened in the city to thorough
ly cover all the remaining lawns
Bluegrass and clover both seem
unable to cope with the dande-
lions. There is said to be only
one way of getting rid of the
plants, aside from plowing up
the sod, and that is by digging
up the roots. -Nonpareil.

they are in existence. One
firm spends over one thousand
dollars annually in advertising.
