day. A satisfactory price is being Sc

A sad and singular happening oc-
Cured last Saturday afternoon on
Northeast river, near Lambs Ferry.
Mr.. Isaac James and two cousins.
Messrs. Lonnie and Burton, were
bathing in the river, and after swim
ming about for awhile, returned to
a shallow place near the bank, when
Mr.. James was seen to fall back
wards in a helpless condition. The
two young men rushed to his rescue
and succeeded in getting him out on
land when, with a groan, he breathed
his last The cause of his death is
supposed to be heart failure, probably
caused by oVer-eXertion.

THE ADVERTISING WEST.

The emigration of farmers from the
eastern and central states to the Wes-
tern and now the northwestern coun-
try, furnishes much food for thought.
During the last few years thousands
of families, among them some of the
most substantial and valuable citizens,
have left the more thickly settled
states Of the east and central portions
of the United States to go to the wes-
tern states or to Canada. There are
two reasons. The first is that the
growth of the towns and cities is tend
ing to make the farms smaller and Of
course increasing the price Of land.
The second and greater reason for the
exodus to the west and northwest,
however, is that those sections of the
country are advertising their facilities
for farming and good living as no
country was ever advertised before.
The railroads and the people are join
ing in their efforts to get the people
from the east to come out and get ac-
quainted. Homeseekers' excursions
are run regularly to the new country
and cut rates are in effect at all times.
The beginning of all the advertising
however, whether by the railroads or
by the commercial associations Of the
states and communities, is with the
newspaper. 1t is through the daily
and weekly press that the wonders Of
the new country are told to the people
of the more crowded sections of the
country. 1t is through the newspapers
that interest is aroused, and after that
the lecturers, the railroads illustrated
pamphlets, the special cars filled with
fruits and grains, and the other meth
DDS of advertising do their work. The
west is enterprising. 1t knows the
value Of advertising and it is succeed
ing.

situation, was about 100000 last June
the increase since 1900 having been
more than 100000. If that rate of in
crease continues during the rest of the
present decade the population in 1910
will be about 4,750,000.
That is, in 1910 the population of
New York will be more than / 100000
greater than in 1900. OF this in
crease, probably more than one-third
will be of Jews, which race already
now makes up toward one-fifth of the
inhabitants. In 1900 the population of
foreign birth and parentage constitute
ed about four-fifths of the whole, In
the borough of Manhattan about five
sixths, and its percentage is now in
creasing because Of the unprecedent-
eddy great immigration.
At present the aggregate Of the dis
tinctively Christian population Of the
town is only about two-fifths of the
whole. This includes the whole of the
Roman Catholic population and the
total number of Protestant communi
cants. Besides these, the federation
estimates a total of about 500, 900
Protestants who attend church more
or less regularly and more than 1,000,-
900 Protestants who are "churchless"
or outside of any religious faith
New York, therefore, cannot now be
called Christian city. Jews and in
fidels and the religiously Indifferent or
unattached constitute majority Of the

THE MARCH Of THE wEEvIL.

The greatest danger that threatens
the southland at this time Is from the
boil weevil, that little vermin which
works necessarily and apparently ire
sistibly in the cotton fields, destroying
the great staple product of the south.
Experts predict that the weevil will
this year cross the Mississippi as 1t
has heretofore crossed the Rio Grande
and the Sabine streams, and will then
have full sweep at the cotton fields
of Mississippi as well as those Of
Texas and Louisiana. The great dam
age being done by the weevil Is an
matter, not only to the south
but to the whole country. The weevil
and the center of the cotton produc-
ton are moving toward each other, the
weevils gait being the faster of the
two. When we consider the fact that
the country which is just coming to
be most important in the production Of
cotton is most open to the rayages of
the little insect, the great Importance
of the question is easily understood.
Hitherto most Of the weevil's work
have been confined to Texas. That
state produces q quantity ranging be-
tween a third and fourth of the en-
tire country's output. The destruction

GOOD ROADS AND EDUCATION.

The question of good roads is be-
coming more and more a serious one
In Iowa, not that the roads are becom-
Ing worse, but because the people, in
the cities and in the country, are re-
garding the question with more seri-
BUSINESS than before and are realizing
that much of the welfare of the coun-
try depends upon good roads. In his
address last Saturday at the good
roads meeting held in this city Sena-
tor Harper of Burlington laid particu-
lar emphasis upon the point that the
United States, usually so far ahead Of
the other countries in most progressive
movements, is far behind all the Euro
pean nations except Russia In the build
ing of good roads. 1t is time this con-
dition Of affairs was remedfed, time a
change was made, and it is encourag-
Ing to note that the change is being
brought about by the efforts of the
men who have interested themselves
In the good roads movement.
A new phase of the good roads ques-
ton presents itself in Iowa as the con-
solidation of schools gains favor.
When the country schools are consoli-
dated some of the pupils, nearly all in
ldCt, are COIupollSu To travel muCQ
farther. to school than with the little
cross roads school houses. The advan-
tage 10 be gained to offset this added
journey is in the superior facilities Of
tered in the consolidated schools. This
advantage is no inconsiderable one and
1t demonstrated beyond doubt the ad-
visibility of practically all of the coun-
ties in the state adopting the plan for
consolidation of the country schools.
However, some, means of transporta-
ton must be provided for the pupils,
and there comes up the question Of
good roads. The system of education
outlined as the result of the consolida-
ton plan cannot be carried out in its
entirety until the roads are put in good
condition and the transportation Of
