WHY JOHNSON CRIED.
There's an End to all Good Things" and
That Was the Reason He Wept.

When Nat johnson got back from
the Maine woods last summer, he
told his friends that for the first time
since he was child. he sat down
and cried.
AS he put it, "There | was way of

Demonstration a Biz Success.

By the way the crowds have beer
gathering in and about the hardware
store of N. r. Croft during the past
week, one would think that county
fair or circus was in progress in
that immediate vicinity. In fact the
attraction was the demonstration of
the Moore heating stoves and ranges
which was in progress there and it
has been banner week in sales, each
day being record breaker. Satur-
day there was such crowd about the
store that the street was almost
blocked. The heating stove was given
to Go. Treas. E. r. Haines. 1t took
some time to make Mr.. Croft believe
in newspaper advertising, but now he
would just as soon think of closing
his store as OF disseminating his ad-
vertising.

Democrats for Cummins.

Now comes the Sioux City Tribune
with the following startling an
nouncement
AS it is very unlikely that Alli-
sons successor will be democrat.
tie only way democrats can help
choose between the only two men
who seem to have chance for the
office, is to declare their utilization
with the republican party, for the
purpose of the next primary.
Amy democrat who sincerely hopes
that Governor Cummins will be the
next senator from Iowa and whose
political views will be more nearly
represented by Cummins than by any
other who seeks the Office. belongs in
the republican primary next year. -
In other words notice is served on
republicans by one of the governor &
best friends that democrats will take
part in the republican primary in
order to nominate Cummins over
Allison. They will become republi-
cans for the purpose of this primary
only.
If such thing does happen there
will be just one result-a democrat
will be elected to the senate from
Iowa-just the thing which would
please Mr.. Kelly and his type most
next to electing Mr.. Cummins. The
bolt on Mr.. Cummins last year would
be small compared with those who
would refuse to stomach such methods
again. Thousands of Allison repub.
licans who will vote for Mr.. Cummins
if he is fairly nominated by major.
ity of the republicans Of Iowa would
prefer to vote for a democrat if Mr.
Cummins is to be nominated by
chicanery. -Grinnell Herald.

walking through snow nearly three
feet deep for a distance of nearly ~
miles, Alex Somodi, a miner making
his way from Montana station to his
cabin in this city, fell exhausted only
a few hundred yards from his cabin
door last night, and when discovered
was nearly dead.
He was picked up IN an unconscious
condition and carried to the Miners
Unoin hospiatl, but died a few min
utes after being taken there. He start
ed to walk from Montana station two
days ego, and made a strong battle
against the deep snow. He did not
give up until within sight of his cabin
and safety, when he was unable to
stand the strain any longer and fell
into the snow unconscious.
He was a native of Austria and on
his body was found a gold medal pre-
scented him by the Emperor of Austria
for an act of bravery.

an immense cable from San Francisco,
together with a number of large
freight wagons. This large cable will
connect with the wagons and will be
stretched from Manhattan to carry
the ore to be shipped from this camp.
The power will be furnished by a $50
horsepower electrical engine. This ca
