ment is: Roads traversed shall be
kept in good condition. and unob-
structed by gates; there must be no
unbridged creeks or streams not ford
able at any season of the year, In
many cases the residents along pro-
posed routes have made improve
ments that enable them to obtain ru-
raj delivery service, but sometimes
the efforts to keep up the roads are
relaxed. But the government has de-
cided that unless the roads travelled
by the carrier are properly maintain.
ed the service will be withdrawn. The
postoffice department now calls on the
carriers for reports on the roads and
will stop the service where the high
ways in question are bad.
The 35,973 rural delivery carriers
now employed cover 863,363 miles
daily, and it is unreasonable to ex-
pect them to contend with neglected
roads, or to work for communities
lacking the enterprise to keep its
common highways in decent shape.
Wherever a route is discontinued the
inhabitants themselves will be to
blame for it, for if alive to their own
interests and their duty to the public
they would give their roads vigorous
and constant attention. The idea
that a route once authorized is neces-
sarily permanent is a mistake. Ad-
vice on the best road methods is sup.
piled by the agricultural department,
and neighborhood that loses its ru-
raj delivery must itself bear the dis
credit for so unpleasant and humiliat-
ing an event.

INTEREST IN MAJOR LACEY.

Des Moines Mail and Times: The
democrats have nominated man
FAMED Hamilton from Keokuk county
against Major John F. Lacey in the
Sixth district. General Weaver was
turned down as being too radical, and
also because the democrats in con-
troll seemed think that he was played
out as vote-getter.
Every man and woman in Iowa
ought to be interested in the return
Of Major Lacey to congress. He Is
one of the four great congressman
who have long represented this state
and have made for themselves names
of high national importance-Courins,
Lacey, Hull and Hepburn, and we are
now training up others, such as Smith
and Conner, and, it is to be hoped,
Dawson and Hubbard, by keeping
them in training where they can be-
come useful to their districts and
their state. Major Lacey has BECOME
one of the most useful members OF
the House, for he is an industrious
student, tremendously interested in
affairs and eager always to do all in
his power for any cause he thinks a
good one. Major Lacey is no coward
or trimmer. He is stand-patter, and
has taken no means to conceal the
fact-in fact, he is rather proud Of 1t,
for he is so convinced of the folly of
tampering with the tariff at this time,
that no fear Of the vengeance of a
faction could swerve him from his
position. His industry and the
strength of his convictions, as well as
his natural talent as debater, have
made him one of the most valuable
men on the floor when the interests
and principles of the Republican par
ty are to be cared for. "fn'
No man in America has done quite
as much for the cause of bird protec-
ton as Major Lacey. He 1t was who
fought through the laws that put the
enforcement Of the game shipment
laws in the hands of the United States
marshals and authorized the appoint
ment of deputies that have made 1t
dangerous to violate the game laws
and destroy what little is left for
mere commercial purposes. He has
also secured the enactment of bird
protection law that hi shut down on
the wholesale destruction of our M.
tive birds for their plumage. His
work in the interest of forest protec-
ton has been Of equal Importance.
A catalogue of Major Lacey's services
would fill an ordinary newspaper, but
the people OF the Sixth district know

KE0TA GIRL SUICIDES
DESPERATE OVER ACTION OF
LOVER, LENA 6RoUNHousEN
SHOOTS HERSELF.

heota, Ia, Aug. 25.-Driven desper-
ate by the action of her lover, who
pawned the watch which she mad CIV
en- him as a keepsake, Lena Broun-
housen this morning, shortly after
midnight, shot herself with a revol-
yer in an attempt to end her life, and
is now lying in this city with almost
no hope of recovery. Miss Broun-
housen, who is about twenty-three
years of age, visited her lover at his
home in Richland yesterday, and in
the evening drove back with him to
this city. Upon arriving in town she
left the man, and walked to her home,
five miles south of here, arriving about
midnight. After a short time she left
the house and walked out into the or
chard, where she turned the revolver,
which she had carried with her, upon
herself and pulled the trigger. The
ball penetrated just a bare inch be-
low the heart and lodgeu in the spine.
Miss Brounhousen fell unconscious,
and lay throughout the night in this
state. About o'clock this morning
she aroused the members of her fam
lily by her groans. They were horri
fed to find her lying in a pool OF
blood, and with life almost extinct. A
doctor was hastily summoned, but
from the first examination pronounced
her case as almost hopeless.
Miss Brounhousen evidently con
templated her rash deed for some
time, as yesterday she purchased the
weapon with which she wounded her
self at local hardware store in this
city. Disappointment in the conduct
of her lover, r. R. Sargent was the
cause. Sargent is under arrest on the
charge of having obtained money un
der false pretenses. He pawned a
watch belonging to his sweetheart
in an attempt to raise enough money
to clear himself.

THE CROPS or 1906.

In the aggregate cereal yield 1906
will break the records. This is indi-
Gated by figures of condition and acre
age just made public by the depart
ment of agriculture The corn crop
will amount to 2.693,0O0.000 bushels,
if present prospects hold out few
weeks longer. This will lack OILY IA,
100000 bushels of reac hing the big
gest figures of the past, tie yield for
1905. But there is hope that even
the 1905 crop will be left behind. In
no year except 1905 were the corn
prospects so bright as they are at this
moment.
The wheat crop has passed all for
mer records. 1t amounts to $4,000.
600 bushels. AS the greater part of
this is already harvested, these fig
ures are likely to stand. The winter
wheat crop is 492,U00,OOO bushels and
the spring variety is 267,000,000. The
largest previous aggregate wheat
yield was in 1901, when it was 74S,-
100000 bushels, or 100000 below
the 1906 total. AS the preliminary
figures of the department of agricul-
ture, like those just given out, are
usually below the aggregate which is
found in the final, roundup, there is
an excellent chance that the indicated
759,000,000 bushels for 1906 will turn
out to be greater than this when the
returns are all in.
Oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and
potatoes are also up to high figures in
the estimate made by the department
of agriculture. Hay shows a slight
falling off in acreage, and probably in
yield. But the grand aggregate OF
the country's great crops will be
larger than in any former year. This
will be needed because the country is
growing with great rapidity. Not far
from 100000 are being added to our
population each year nowadays, with
the immigration considerably above
the 100000 mark. Prices remain
high, which means that the producers
will get big returns for their crops.
The home consumer will have enough
for all his needs, and the foreign de-
mand can readily be met. The far
mer is the favored man these days.
He has not only better crops than he

COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 40
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The long contin.
ued period of excessive heat is charg.
ed, probably with good reason, as the
cause of delay in the expected revival
of activity in the Chicago coal trade.
The sales of the week in all lines
have been very light, probably as lit
tie business having been transacted
as during any single week of the en-
tire summer. No one, however, seems
to be in the least disheartened by
this fact regarding it as the only con-
ditlon which could be expected with
the temperature remaining high and
stationary. The outlook for an early
improvement is good. The volume OF
inquiries has greatly increased since
our last report, some dealers stating
that they are receiving five inquiries
where they received one a week ago.
Apart from the depressing effect OF
weather conditions, the chief cause
for the small volume of actual sales,
just at present, is to be found in the
fact that the market is now in trans
ition state from lower to higher
prices, causing apathy on the part Of
both sellers and buyers, though tor
different reasons.

PRIMARY CHEATING in ILLINOIS.

Sioux City Journal: The Illinois PR.
mary law requires that delegates to
conventions shall vote on the first bal
lot for the candidates receiving the
largest popular vote in the precincts
from which the delegates come. The
theory is that If a certain candidate
is entitled to the support of a majority
of the delegates he will be nominated
on the first ballot. If no candidate
receives a majority the instructions
are off, and delegates may vote as they
please to bring about majority NOM
ination. The arrangement looks well
in theory, but in practice it mas not
worked out as intended.
In the nineteenth senatorial district
William E. Burns polled the highest
popular vote and had the highest me-
jority of the delegates instructed for
him on the first ballot in the eonven.
ton. Under the circumstances, Mr..
Burns practically won the nomination
in the primary and nobody supposed
the convention could avoid giving it
to him. But Mr.. Burns did not get the
nomination. He was cheated out of it
by a shrewd trick, and under the law
there appears to be no way of either
reversing the work of the convention
or Furnishing the perpetrators of the
trick which defeated the will of the
voters.
How was the trick turned that de-
feated Mr.. Burns, after he had won
the support of a majority of the dele
gates? 1t was very simple. A major
ity of the delegates were instructed
to vote for Burns on the first ballot
and he would have won tho nominal
ton if all the, delegates had been in
their seats. Under the law no dele
gate instructed for him could have
voted against him on the first ballot
But all the delegates were not In their
seats when the first ballot was taken.
Enough of the Burns delegates stayed
away so that he was prevented from
securing a majority on the first ballot.
After that instructions were off. The
missing delegates turned up and pro,
ceeded to vote for another candidate,
who was easily nominated.
The flaw in the Illinois law Is not
serious. 1t can easily be remedied by
section which nobody thought to In
sert in the law, requiring that every
precinct must be represented by a
full delegation which shall carry out
the instructions of the primary.
