her, a salesman for the firm that is

strong explosion. liellher was burned
about the hands and face. \ pipe was

the island when the Cubans are moi
able to do SO themselves. Years
ago General Grant said that Cuba
should become a part of this country.
and sooner or later it will, but there
is no occasion for haste or coercion.
just give the Cubans time enough
and they will beg Uncle Sam to
adopt them. In other words they

they will beg for the rest of the old
eagles nest and the strong arm OF
federal power.

Weather-Crop Bulletin.
For week ending Sept. IL, 1906,

For week ending Sept Ii, 1906.
Des Moines. Iowa.
High temperatures prevailed the
first three and last two days of the
week, and the average was above the
normal for the middle Of September.
AT the central station the average
daily excess Of temperature was
nearly 8 degrees. Light showers
were reported in all districts Oh the
18th and 18th, and very copious
showers were quite generally
throughout the state on the 18th and
10th. The rains were. timely and
beneficial to pastures. especially in
the southern half of the state. Re-
ports indicate that corn cutting is
in progress in all districts, and that
more than the usual percentage OF
the valuable fodder will be saved in
shock or silo. AS to the stage of
ripeness, the conditions are quite
variable, but it is evident that over
80 percent of the crop is beyond
danger Of material injury by frost,
and the full crop is likely to be
practically safe before the close of
September. Damage by windstorms
has been less than usual. The soil
is generally in excellent condition
for blowing. Some progress is re-
ported in seeding fall wheat and rye
and the acreage Of wheat is likely to
be increased in the western districts
where the weld has been excellent
this year. AS whole, this has been
an exceptionally favorable crop sea
son.

Some of our read ,rs will doubtless
recollect J. L. McCreery, who edited
the Delhi Dem :crat and Delaware
County Journal previous to, and
during the war of the rebellion. He
died a few days ago at Duluth, as
the result of an operation for APP.
pendlcltls, but his poems will live
forever. 1t is generally believed
that while publishing his paper at
Delhi he wrote that imperishable
gem, "There Is No Death" Nc
poem in the English language is
more generally quoted in memorial

feel proud Of the fact that in one Of

wrote verses that will live forever.

Burton Not Entirely Defeated.
Many of the Republicans Of the state
took the position that in view of the
fact that the senators had not entire
ly agreed with the policy of President
Roosevelt on national legislation it
would be inconsistent to give an in
dorsement of equal force to both the
president and the two senators. In
winning victory over Representative
Burton and Harry NJ. Daugherty on
these two questions Senator Dick re-
tanned his chieftainship and prestige,
but on the other hand the platform,
in which appeared the merchant ma
rine and some other planks, Indicated
that Burton had not been idle in other
directions for the Cleveland LEADERS,
views We're clearly imbedded in some
Of the best parts of the platform.
Tariff Revision Is Dished.
On two points--primary voting for
United States senators and tariff revis-
ton--one ol the Cleveland delegates
introduced as minority report these
two planks. apparently with the APP
prevail of Burton. and the convention
defeated both. The platform Stands
pat, on the tariff. and generally Is
standard Republican, including n plank
for the rehabilitation of the merchant
marine. Another plank demands the
reduction of the representation in con-
eress and the electoral college of all
states in which negro voters are dis
franchised. The state ticket is head
cd by c. A. Thompson, Of Ironton, for
