BUYERS BITTEN
The "Old Horse" Sale Voted A First
Class SWindIe

The sale of "Old Horse" or unclaimed
Adams Express packages held in the
Mitchell Building on Main street on Sat
urday afternoon and night drew quite Il
large attendance. and "Sucl:ers' were
caught in abundance. But few real
bargains We're gotten, and most of the
packages contained little better than rub
bish, and many nothing at all. A tin
covered trunk was bid up to S3.O5 which
contained q lot of Old clothes and two
boxes Of slrdincs. Another broken and
empty was bought for $50. One party
got Il bulky package that looked like a
hpnhnZa. which contained four heavy
books of wall paper samples. Cook, the
purveyor of peanuts, ice cream and soft
drinks at the Ball Park. got IL coat and
vest and Il fair sample Of Il watch for ~
cents. 4 wcll-known war veteran gave
x1.n for a lot of clothes. Another party
got four pounds of horse shoe nails and
Sundry old garments, which cost him 60
cents. Another got fine assortment of
fertilizer samples in metal capped bottles.
Another got bottle with II hole in the
bottom labelled "Eplepticide." Here
and there bargain was struck but the
mass Of victimized buyers voted the sale
a filst-cl.isss swindle. The average bid
ranged from % to 81 cents. and the sale
yielded several hundred dollars.

The PaIIiation OF Dishonesty

A delegate to the wholesale druggists
convention, now in session in New York,
yesterday haracterized the UnitedStatee
Senate as "a body of railway agents."
The charge is severe, but while it must
not apply to all the members Of the Sen
ate, it is too apparent that most of the
men who have greatest power in that
body serve corporations in general much
more faithfully than they serve the peo-
pie. And until the people can compel
reorganization of the Senate and the
establishment of higher and more hon
est standards in its proceedings. the root
of the great graft evil Of this country
will not be cut.
a New York banker, addressing the
Maryland Bankers Association, yester-
day, held out rather gloomy view of
what he termed ''palliated dishonesty"
He rightly made the dishonest amasser
of millions q greater criminal than the
hlghwayman, and was fittingly sarcastic
in referring to the vigor with which
small offenders are punished while pub
lie sentiment does not force the impris-
onment of those who Commit the deeds
of the highwayman with the air of a
saint" But before he reached the end of
his address he unconsciously gave en-
couragement for he pointed to the var
ious signs Of public discomfort; to the
popularity of those leaders who are max
ing war on corruption in high places, all
of which evidences show that the masses
are really becoming aroused, and that
the game of plumber cannot go smilingly
on without interference.
Indeed, there has never been time
since the graft and debauchery in bust
fest when there has been so much hone
as at present. Correct perceptions and
correct principles are asserted in local,
State and National movements Public
officials who are honest are becoming
more aggressive, and those who are dis
honest are becoming more timid, to say
the least. The tendency is in the right
direction.

TO DIG CANAL BY CON-
TRACT
Government May Let Private Parties Do The
Work

Government May Let Private Parties Do The
Work
Secretary Taft gave it as his
opinion on Monday that most of
the construction of the Panama
canal would be by private con-
tract. Just what part of the
work will be done this way is
not settled. Wallace, when
chief engineer, thought all but
the Culebra cut could be let to
private contractors to advan-
tage. According to Secretary
Taft, the Government feels the
same, and it is possible this will
be done, providing a responsible
contractor is willing to under
take the job of getting rid of
the removed dirt. Necessary
equipment for disposal of the
earth from the Culebra cut will
be expensive, and it is possible
the Government itself will have
to provide this equipment.
Secretary Taft would say
nothing as to the probable cost
of the canal or an assertion that
the Commission in it's forth
coming report would estimate it
at $3O0,OO0,OOO.

You Must

If YOU cannot, it is due to an

Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it

OF Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-

DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervinc.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending May 20, 1906.
Des Moines, Iowa.

The week was slightly cooler than
usual, and closed with copious and
widely distributed showers. Conditions
were favorable for field work most of
the week, and good progress has been
made in finishing planting corn. This
work is practically completed, except
where the fields are too wet. More
than the usual amount of replanting has
been necessitated on account of
flooded fields or defective seed. 1t is
probable that the corn acreage will be
considerably less than the area prepared
or intended for. that crop. Cultivation
of early planted fields is in progress.
The copious rains will prove bene-
fetal to grass and small grain crops,
especially on the driest lands, which
had become encrusted and cloddy.
Most of the reports show favorable
growth and conditions of meadows,
pastures, wheat, oats, barley, potatoes
and garden truck. But little damage
resulted from frost on the morning of
the Goth. There are some reports Of
apples dropping, but generally that
important fruit crop is promising.
Strawberries will yield heavily. The
cherry crop will be light.
