Des Moines, Iowa, July 7.-Bearing
his propaganda in a wheelbarrow, and
busily engaged in disseminating the
gospel of "secular' government over
Iowa, Andrew Townsend Hisey, Of
Tama, has injected new element into
lowa's exciting gubernatorlal cam
nor and is sure that when the people
appreciate the goods he has to offer,
the claims of Cummins and Perkins will
vanish into thin air.
Mr.. Hisey is student and an opti-
mist. The combination has led him to
entertain the belief that he can be gov
ernor., He has actively circulated his
thousand signatures to entitle his name
to be placed on the ticket.
Now comes the campaign. Mr.. Hlsey
takes his wheelbarrow, loads it with
pamphlets calculating his peculiar
theory Of government and sets. forth.
He expects, by election time, that he
will have spread his novel doctrine
pretty we'll over Iowa. This is the plat
form on which he is making his race:
Secular government stands for good govern
ment, liberal, scientific government, individual.
national, international administration and dis
tribution Of justice.
First-To discover the arts which are lost
and to reveal those which are hidden.
Second-To complete the unfinished work Of
ages, right the wrongs OF generations past, cor
rect the mistakes, retraco the errors srd see 10
it with great care that the ills which fest the
race, the foul works and the foul play DO not
occur. f-"i-.-
.Third-To secure individual ownership. pre-
serve competition in labor complete the wage
earning system. give to labor Its full share OF
prosperity, bring to trusts, combinations and
! gigantic concerns the confidence of indus
trious people, and intense patriotism TO the
government.
1 Fourth-To surmount deplorable tendencies.
tlift up the fallen, strengthen the weak, con-
| meet the broken family chain. double the pleas.
| ures, tighten the sorrows. lengthen the lives
of the people and elevate all on the high table
land Of political science above crime, poverty,
Ignorance and superstition.
Fifth-Bring to each person in the genera
| tion each day OF their lives the little heritage
| which has been directed by thoughtful persons
for ages and make each person live on interest
of money.
Voicing these principles, Andrew
Townsend Hisey pushes his little wheel
barrow over the. state of Iowa. With
pathetic anxiety to get his principle s
before the people he works day and
night for fear that some misguided ones
may vote for some other candidate be-
fore the great light of secular" gov.
ernment has broken athwart their
horizon. - s.- T:.-r-

Cleveland Cliffs Company and

Negaunee, Mich, July 7.-The Cleve.
land Cliffs Iron company will do dia-
mond drill work this summer on its
lands to the north of its Barrum "B"
shaft at lshpeming, Marquette range.
Two drills are on the ground, and sink
ing has been started. The company
has reason to believe that ore lies IN
the vicinity. On East Johnston street,
In the same city, a diamond drill is in
It is believed that the Vein now being
worked by the Cleveland Cliffs COM
pany at its Moro shaft makes to the
west and that the ore will be located
by the drill now operating on the Steel
corporation lands.
Ore shipment from the Menominee
range Of the Chicago & North Western
road to the docks at Escanaba is at
the rate of about $50 cars a day. The
Milwaukee road is hauling about 500
cars daily. The cars have an average
capacity of about forty tons. This
means a total daily shipment from the
range of $4,000 tons, at which rate it
will be some time before material re-
duction is made in the size of the
stockpiles.
Hosting has been discontinued at
the Rlverton mine, a property in the
Iron River district of the Menomiree
range operated under lease by the Steel
corporation. The miners have been
laid off, but whether the suspension is
permanent is not given out. State
ments that the ore deposits are ex-
hausted have periodically been made,
and as often denied, the property mean
while continuing on the active list.
The principal feeowner states that q
portion of the. mine may be shut down
permanently, but not all of it. He also
says that the -Riverton will not remain
idle long, even if the corporation should
surrender its lease. According to
miners, who have been employed at the
mine, there is plenty of ore in the prop
erty vet, but on account of the river
overhead some difficulty would be ex-
perienced in getting it out. The opin-
ion is also expressed that the ore forks
across the river toward the old Sheri-
dan mine, now being explored by the
Mineral Mining company of Milwaukee.
After an idleness of nearly three
years, the Champion mine, one of the
biggest properties on the western Mar
quette range. has resumed operations
It is q Steel corporation property.

Brookings, s. D., July 7:-Of most
general interest perhaps of all the work
in the state agricultural college in this
city is that in horticulture and forestry.
Indoors! may be seen what is usually
found in a city greenhouse. But be-
sides the ferns and carnations may be
breeding. The process is always going
on, but the painstaking labor seems re-
paid if now and then is found some
delicious fruit of FROST and draught-
resisting qualities; for such plants are
boon to South Dakota. -. . ...
Already much has been done. i Here
may be found Strawberries from Alaska,
semi-arid regions of the United States,
other fruits from far Siberia. It is the
object to fix upon the hardness Of
such stock the luscious qualities of the
cherry or berry of more favored regions.
About fifty acres are used by the
department.. Perhaps half of this is
occupied by thick set groves, forests at
other section is an orchard of apples
and plums, bearing abundant fruit:
Then there are the Strawberries and
other. small fruits and many rows Of
experiments which change from year
to year as success or failure comes.
stockings itself is the most striking
object lesson of the value to South Da-
kota of this experimental work in hor-
ticulture and forestry. $50 many trees,
such well kept lawns, hedges and ever
green's; the beautiful shrubs, the small
orchards-we don't see these things in
such profusion elsewhere,' remarks
every visitor. The secret of it Is that
the civic pride Of every citizen has been
touched by constant example of land
scape gardening set before him at the
college. .:"!
The Buildings.
Following either the main drive or
the main walk one comes first to the
Central building, the first to be erected
on the grounds. 1t was built in accord
ance with the act Of 1883 establishing
the college and was occupied in the
fall Of 1884. Of three stories and base
ment, it contains the library, presi-
dents and other offices, and recitation
rooms.

keep their arms and in inclement
weather hold their drills. In the spring
and fall the drilling is done on the
open campus at 3:15 in the afternoon.
At the same hour a military band is re-
ceiving instruction. Aside. from pos
sible use, in time of war the military
training is of inestmable value to the
lads because of its lessons in obedience
and manly carriage. r..
The experiment. station has it's head
quarters in what is known as the South

of the college. On the farm and in the
laboratories is done the work; in the
offices are prepared the bulletins. -,,s

Forest City, Iowa, July 7,-That the
political future of Iowa rests upon the
shoulders of the bachelorhood and spin
sterdom Of this fair state is the CON
viction which has come to Clinton Mer-
vention of the unmarried chivalry and
beauty of the commonwealth, to be held
in Forest City on July 25, is the latest
feature of the present strenuous cam
paign.
Mr.. Merriek himself, has long boasted
the title of "king of bachelors and
whispering tongues have it that he him
self will be chosen to head the ticket
as the candidate for governor.
The Forest City convention promises
to be unique in the history of Iowa
politics. It will be, in a way, the first
formal acknowledgment on the part of
the male gender Of anything appI:991aeh:t- d: :
on the floor of the Merrick convention
as duly accredited delegates, with no
fear that any credentials committee of
'.horrid men, will consign them to
oblivion without the walls. 1t is even
possible, and highly probable, that the
names Of women will appear on the
ticket.
Mr.. Merrick has printed his call and
given it wide circulation under the in
viting caption of clip, hip, hip, hurrah
for barbecue and all you can eat: -
This is presumably done to attract the
attention of the bachelor contingent.
The call reads as follows:
Some of us do believe that race suicide proper
is caused by too many births, and to emphasize
our belief on many important questions, we call
mass state convention of bachelors and hache
lor ladies, and their friends on the 25th OF
July 1906, to be held at Forest City Iowa, fol
the purpose of nominating state and county Of
fetal tickets and Legislative, congressional ant
judicial tickets, for the state of Iowa; to b :
nominees Of this ga thering are to make thei
individual platform in the hope that graft may
be minimized. In making these nomination:

tion will have speakers who will give his
tory of all probable nominees and their politica
views on public questions. You will receive
hearty welcome from all the citizens of ou
town and reasonable. prices at our boarding
houses and private homes be thrown Opel
to visiting friends.
Mr.. Merrick has been active for SOM
time in his chosen sphere. His sover
eighty as 'sking of the bachelors' ha
been nothing less than strenuous, t.

Camp Douglas, Wis, July 1.-THE
Wisconsin national guard. Every Of

ing into the encampment this year goes
with the full knowledge that it is work
that is expected Of him.,
The Wisconsin guard entered Camp
Douglas today, better drilled, better Of
fcered, better equipped and in a bet
ter shape to defend both state and
country than ever before:
No "dress parade' of the old days
is witnessed in Camp Douglas. While
evening parade consists Of practically
the same maneuvers as those of the for
mer days, the dress uniform is missing
and the troops are clothed only in the
field service: uniform of khaki, the
blue uniform is left at home and moth
ing pertaining to dress is taken into
camp. 1t is strictly a camp of work.
Another important change from the
old days is guard duty. Formerly it
was considered only fit for recruits. A
man attending his second encampment
was insulted if detailed for guard. To
day the order is passed around, 'sOnly
old men will be detailed for guard to-
night It is now fully. realized that
guard duty is one Of the most, import
ant duties soldier has to perform, anG
it is for the example the old men set
as well as for the marking they obtair
