FARMERS STORES.


Ten farmers living near Postville
have united in the purchase of bust
ness house in that city. The infer
ence is that it will be used for farm
ers' store 1t always seems to us as
though there was a wrong or blund-
err behind such transactions. We do
not undertake to say whether it is on
the part of the business men of the
town, or of the farmers. Both these
occupations are necessary to COM
munity, and they do not mix any
more than printing and merchandise
ing The men who succeed in this
trade require qualifications so differ
ent that success is rarely won in both
lines. There ought to be mutually
between the trader and the buyer in
which it is wisest for each to cling to
the occupation in which he was bred.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil desires

declares. sTihe railroads will continue
to prosper, but they will have to be
divorced from special shipping inter

reading the presidents message it is
not unlikely the friends of Secretary
Shaw may feel moved to point some
important issues in which the lines of
policy advocated by the president and
the secretary conincide precisely. AT
the same time there is likely to be call
upon the critics to show wherein any

TCedar Rapids Gazette.

Iowa republican papers have re-
newed their worrying over the nominal
ton for governor next year. How
would it do, just for once, to pick del
egates to the convention exclusively
from among the business men. me-
chanics and farmers, leaving all the
politicians at home? 1t is believed such
a convention would be able to pick
candidate for governor who would be
very acceptable to all interests.

The Deathbed.
We watched her breathing through the
night,
Her breathing soft and low.
As in her breast the wave Of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
30 silently we seemed to speak.
So slowly moved about.
AS we had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out.
Our very hope belied our fears;
Our fears our hopes belied.
We thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when she died.
For when the raorn came dim and sad
And chill with early showers
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

SUED BABIES
According To the Delmss Two Young
Men Put Up In Magis-
trate's Court.

A very interesting and amusing law
suit occurred this morning in Squire
David's court in which tae plaintiff was
Mrs. james E. Stewart, Of Mt. Clare,
and the defendants were two boys
named Wesley AMI Joseph Greynolds, o.
tine same place.
Some days ago Mtss Stewart sued the
boys for store aG1elsnt Of $500. and
when it came to tfisls:the boys accom-.
panied by their mother appeared and
set up the plea That they were infants
Their plea made it necessary for them
TO have n guardian appointed. They
were given a week IN which TO get a
guardian. But they appeared in cour
again today without any guardian ana
knew of. no one that would serve. T..
II. Rogers volunteered to net in that
capacity for the boys. The boys prac.
,icaily acknowledged they owed. tie
debt but thought tasy had no right to
pay it as a part 'ot the debt was for
tobacco and pop nirl not for necessities
and TINT they were infants, although.
they were supporting their mother and
brothers and sisters
Tas squire deferred judgment until ne
could investigate and finH out just wat
necessities would include in sucl, case.
One of tine boys was about 10 and the
other about 20 years old
Mrs. Stewart gave the boys lectur.
ing and told them that if they ever
would be men they were now as it was
