That W00dmen Celebration.

The local lodge of the Woodmen of
the World have planned on big cele-
bration here the last of next month. 1t
is simply impossible and unasked for
that these good fellows should be asked
to carry the entire burden of such an
ovation and as it behooves the business
men of Delta to aid in every way they
can to push the interests of their town
to the front, the Independent suggests
that all signify willingness to sub
stantially concur in doing all possible to
make things big success. One must
pay for their fun in this world and it is
not to be expected that right royal
time can be had on a subscription of
thirty cents, figuratively speaking
Dig down in your jeans land do it cheer

that has brighter future and as as

The country will have real lively
time of it, if European royalty decides
to return the visits of Col. Bryan and
the Longworths.
Senator Tillman is scheduled for a
few speeches in Iowa, and all the farm
ers are hoping he will bring the pitch
fork with him, as theirs are all in use.
Several chorus ladies' have not yet
been mentioned in connection with the
Thaw case, but the trial cannot take
place until October so they need not
despair.
Col. Bryan intimates that he stands
just about where he did in 1896 and
1900. 1t will be remembered that he
stood just outside the White House gate
in those years.
Secretary Wilson surprised Cedar
Rapids firm of packers by dropping in
unexpectedly for an official inspection.
He found nothing to criticise. Cedar
Rapids is in Iowa.
H. Clay Evans says he is very fond
of joint debates. and possibly Tom Tag
gart would have a better liking for
them too, if the talking would turn to
some other fellows joint.
God will not look you over for
medals, degrees and diplomas, but for
scars" says Ebert Hubbard. There
ought to be crumb of comfort in this
for the man who owns an automobile.
A Kansas City ice man testifies that
he went into business, with $500 and
the following season made s45, 900.
Evidently, the Toledo fellows wanted
to beat this record.

Funeral Plants,

The olive, oak, laurel, myrtle, rose
mary, cypress, amaranth and parsley
are all funeral plants among the
Greeks and Romans. ITO be in need
of parsley" was Greek eupiemism
indicating the death of the person so
described. An Athenian army once
marching against the Lacedaemonians
was stampe'led on its way out Of the
city by meeting two mules laden with
parsley, the omen being that the whole
army would soon be in need of that
article.

Wanted...a Gun!

On Tuesday morning, about one
O'Clock, night marshall Jess Smith was
startled by hearing the crash OF falling
glass. At the time he was standing IN
front of l. M. Conklin's grocery store
and as soon as possible made his way
to the buildings situate on Main street
south of Fourth street. Investigation
found that a rock had been thrown
through one of the windows of the BIZ
cycle shop belonging to G. c. English and
that gun had been removed from the
window. A stone about the size OF
ones hand was used in breaking the
window. Nothing could be seen or
heard of the marauders, the marshall
searching the alleys and buildings in
the rear. 1t is supposed that some boy
who wanted gun had spotted one in
this window and waiting until the lights
were out, took this manner of breaking
in, relying upon his fleetness of foot to
carry him to safety. This incident is
only another warning that Delta needs
an all night electric light service. Some
time there may occur a robbery that
will bring with it a severe lesson.

To Republicans.

We are anxious to have every Repub-
lican in close touch, and working in
harmony with the Republican National
Congressional Committee in favor of
the election of Republican Congress.
The Congressional campaign must be
based on the administrative and legis-
lative record of the party, and, that be-
ing so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality
must be central figure and his achieve
ments central thought in the cam
paign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will send
the Republican National Campaign Text
Book and all documents issued by the
Committee.
Help US achieve great victory.

Taft says that he doesn't want the
Presidential plum. It's green now.

AS we consider the Dreyfus case, we
are led up to the conclusion that all
things come to him who fights.
Mr.. Bryan is touring Scotland in an
automobile, but then he does not expect
to run for President in Scotland.
The President has been showing the
country that he can pitch hay as well
as he saws wood.
"You may gamble on Tom Taggart'
his friends have always said. Nobody
disputes the statement now.
Presumably Pittsburg has another

the Hartje case as soon as it is finished.
A Londoner has paid Sl3, 900 for some
old pre-Shakespearean plays. But
that's nothing to what "Florodora"

Mrs. Cassie Chadwick pleads for a
simple little Paris gown, with hat to
match. She doesn't like the prison S
summer styles in stripes.
Secretary Shaw should not run again
with the notion that he has done any
thing original by discovering the short
age Of small bills.
1t will be bad day for the Car when
all the little revolutions scattered
through Russia, succeed in affecting a
merger.
Whatever else may happen to his rep.
utation, Harry Thaw is now in fair
way to escape the terrible disgrace OF
dying rich.
Bryan and Bailey" may remind one
of the name of a certain circus, but
Bryan and any old name will be sure t.
promise some kind Of circus.
Secretary Taft's attempt to breal
the solid South will probably end like
those numerous attempts to break tn

1t is now up to Mr.. Thomas Taggar
