CANNOT GET HUSKERS
Some of Iowa's Magnificent Corn Crop
May Be Lost.

MARSHALLTOWN. IOWA.-Farmers find
Ing much difficulty in securing help to husk
the immense cor crop. The scarcity Of farm
help is causing owners Of large farms to have
difficulty In finding tenants, as renters hesitate
to take large farms under existing conditions:
The smaller farms are renting more easily. The
corn crop is immense and of fine quality.
A peculiar accident happened the North
Western road at Watkins, about thirty miles
east of here. The brakeman a fast freight
discovered flames issuing from a stock car and
gave the signal to stop. The quickly
headed into siding. 1t loaded with cattle
and some of the animals were badly burned be
fore they could be taken from the car. One
fine steer suffocated. 1t is supposed a spark
from the locomotive dropped into the hay in
the and caused the blaze. The cattle were
owned by Lewis J. Buck of Harlan.

HOGS DYING OF CHOLERA
Losses for a Few Days in Waterman
County Amount to $4,000.

ST. JAMES, MINN.-Hog cholera has again
made appearance in Watonwan county, and
the plague is literally reaping down the hogs.
1t first made its appearance Madelia two
three days ago. and even this short space
of time has brought loss of about $25, 900
to the farmers Of that community.
The disease also prevails in the towns OF
Riverdale, Fieldon, South Branch and st.
James, and the loss is greater each day. The
north tier of townships Of Martin county to
the south of Watonwan is also afflicted with
the disease, and many farmers have already
lost all their hogs.
One thing, however, seems certain, in the
light of experience, and that is that 1t is a
poor plan to ship hogs here from warmer
climates. Before farmers began to ship hogs
from Nebraska and southern Iowa the cholera
unknown here.

BIGGEST CHRISTMAS BUSINESS.
Merchants Report More Purchases Than
Ever 5efore-oreat Rush In Post Of
flee and Express once.

The biggest Christmas business in the
history OF Brattleboro was the almost
unanimous verdict OF the merchants after
the Christmas shopping was over and the
normal quiet and orderly condition had
returned. Nearly all OF the dealers
thought that the business this year was
from 20 to 80 per cent better than ever
before at Christmas time. and there were
none who thought that II was not a sub
stantial gain over last year. Several
spoke especially OF the quality OF the
trade, the demand being for better and
more substantial goods in every line.
Prosperity seemed to reign among the
Christmas shoppers as never before. The
crowds that filled the stores were not out
to look, simply: they We're there to buy
and they had the money to pay for the
goods.
The post Office reported an enormous
business. Postmaster Taylor thought II
was at least so per cent ahead OF last
year or any recent year. The employees
were nearly swamped for about three
days, but by hard work every letter and
package which arrived before closing time
Christmas noon was delivered before
night. The few belated ones which ar
rived In the afternoon had to be held over
until the next morning In order to de-
liver the great number OF packages three
extra teams were kept on the hustle the
last two days before Christmas and on
Christmas day The outgoing mail began
TO come in thick and fast the Saturday
previous TO Christmas but not until Mon
day did the incoming mail assume large
proportions. The reaction which followed
Wednesday brought the afternoon deIiy-
cry down to the smallest in three months.
The American Express company did
more business in the week preceding
Christmas than 1t has ever before done
In Brattleboro. Agent j. e. Rogers es-
timated that between 1000 and 5000 pack
ages were handled by the local office, TAX
ing both in and out business. The BUSH
ness started In unusually early and let up
toward the end, Last week Tuesday the
rush began and continued to grow until
the day before Christmas when II fell
back to nearly normal winter business.
The company was able to deliver all goods
promptly with the assistance OF one ex-
ira team and two extra men in the ONCE
EVERY package in the office was delivered
Christmas day, though the men had Id
work well into the evening TO do 1t. The
number OF belated packages was un-
usually small.

A New Feature of Christina. Observance

A beautiful observance of the true
Christmas spirit was inaugurated in Brat
tleboro Christmas day. At O'CLOCK two
large sleighs, furnished gratuitously by

drew up In front of the Baptist church
and were soon filled with 25 or 80 chill
dren, who, accompanied by Misses Ellen
Hunt and Ellen Sherman, visited the Me-
mortal hospital, the town farm and the
Home for the Aged and Disabled. At
each institution the children were well
coined with smiles and tears and their
beautiful singing of the Christmas hymns
touched every heart. Joy to the World. !"
1t came Upon the Midnight Clear" "Oh
Little Town of Bethlehem" and others
sacred ana secular, were sung. At the
Home they repeated the program I'm the
upper hall for the benefit OF some who
were unable to come TO the parlor One
lady over 80 years Of age and quite deaf
expressed great delight and said she
could hear some of it," At IL O'clock the
children returned to their starting point
and 1t is safe to say that happier Christ

Tom JDhnson's ideas are c0gent.
lucid end incisiye, whatever the top
ic Of which he treats. A body Of, min
listers recently made a communication
TO him about the enforcement Of laws
seainst liquor abuses, gambling, and
disorderly houses. Mr.. Johnson re-
piled that the trsual history OF cities
was for a reform wave to include y
formal crusade against vice, without
even temporary improvement. The
evil Is scattered through the city and
hidden. not removed. The police court
dockets are choked, delay Is !nevita.
BILE, and In the end most Of the cases
are dismissed. The mayor OF Cieve
land has used q different method. He
has not spent his strength In secur-
ing legal convictions. He has prac-
ticaily wiped out gambling by merely
keeping a policeman at the door of Il
house, to make It Improbable, or,
when this fails, breaking down the
door and destroying the unlawful par.
aphernalia instead OF keeping It for
evidence. The most dangerous sa.
looms have been stamped out by SINH
lar proceedings, the wellbehavei
ones being unmolested. even II open
at forbidden hours; and the third
evil has been mitigated in the same
spirit. The Improvement under this
system In Cleveland has, OF course,
been made possible only by the exist
ence OF an able and honest city gov
eminent. Mr.. johnson appeals pri-
marily to results, but he also offered
to the reverend gentlemen whom he
addressed the philosophy which in.
derlies his whole procedure. More
men, in his opinion, drink because
they are miserable than are miserable
because they drink; and women who
live on vice do 40 usually not from
choice, but from the pressure Of con-
ditions. To reduce poverty, therefore,
BY making opportunity more wen
BY the abolition Of unjust privilege
