New light has been shed on the
history of the late Edmund G.. Ross.
former United States Senator from
Kansas, by his sister, Mrs. Mamie
Whipple. She says that he intimated
to her that he could have had $780,
600 had he voted to impeach Presi-
dent johnson when the executive
was on trial, but that he chose to
spurn the offer and cast his ballot
for what he believed to be right.
He underwent the abuse and scorn
of his partisan constituents without
a murmur, but his sister says he had
reckoned the cost before choosing
and had foretold exactly what would
be his political fate. Ross vote saved
johnson.

For week ending May 10, 1907.

For week ending May Is, 1907.
The average daily temperature for
the week ending Monday morning,
May ID, was 3 to 5 degrees below
the normal. The lowest temperature
reported was 26 degrees on the
of the llth. The highest
reported was 80 degrees, at Sioux
City on the 18th. The amount of
precipitation was very light, and
was mainly in the form of snow
flurries in the northeast district, the
larger part of the state being prac-
tically rainless. The continued cold
and dry weather has been unfavor-
able to the normal termination of
seed and growth Of vegetation. But
reports indicate that there has been
sufficient warmth and moisture to
maintain vitality and promote the
slow growth of small grain, and the
fields give promise Of fair crops il
normal weather conditions are re-
stored in the near future. The
damage to cereal crops by freezing
has not been as great as former re-
ports indicated. The fruit crops in
the southern half of the state have
suffered most heavily.
Good progress has been made il
corn planting, and the soil has beer
sufficiently dry to preserve the seee
from damage by the protracted colo
weather. The bulk Of the corn acre
age is in fine condition, and plant
ing is likely to be completed al
early as usual. The worst. effects 0

Mrs. Harriette Seward Hurd,
chairman Of the press committee Of
the Iowa Federation of Woman's
Clubs for the seventh biennial,
which will be held in Oskaloosa,
May l5-l7, has issued another bull
letin which will be read with inter-
est by the club women of the state:
As the time draws near for the
gathering of Iowa's federated club
women in Oskaloosa for the seventh
biennial, interest increases anG
bright anticipations occupy the
thoughts of delegates and visitors.
but for the officers, executive COM
mittees and leaders of discussions
there are borne many responsible
tiles. To have such a broad and
educational program we'll matured
and to fill three successive days
with such a wealth of material re-
quires much tims and thought.
The work of the club women of this
country has assumed such proper
tons and touches SO many vital in
terests Of our present civilization
that it is no easy task to keep all
the wheels in good working order
The results that have been accom-.
plished and the influence the club
women of Iowa through their united
efforts have attained speaks volumes
for the need and the power of fed
Grated club work.
1t is not an efferescent, transient
movement, but permanent and
progressive work that has for its
purpose the advancement of the
higher and nobler development o.
civilization. Such motives require
the best efforts of their promoters
and the members of the Iowa Fed.
Grafton of Woman's Clubs are ever
on the alert and merit the support
of the public.

Travellers Checks.

In accord with the general move
ment all over the country the local
banks some time ago began the
practice of issuing travellers checks,
a scheme that is proving
highly satisfactory wherever used.
BY this scheme the travelling public
is being offered method Of carry
ing current check with them.
which though restricted to personal
use, is as available in any state, ter
tory or commercial city in the world,
and is the same as the currency or
coin Of the land in which they are
travelling, and in such denomina-
tons as $40, $50, $50, or $500 or
in denominations of other countries
The checks are about the size Of
the ordinary bank check and bear
on their face the amount deposited
at the bank at the time of the issu-
ing of the check. The value of this
amount in denominations Of all
countries of the world where the
checks are good is also expressed
on the face at all ports. At the
time of the issuance of the check
the person depositing the money
must sign his name on the check in
the presence of the banker and must
again sign when the check is passed
and the two signatures must exact
Iy correspond. the checks may be
passed at any store or establishment
who belongs to any one of the great
concerns which are fast splinging
up all over the country. For this
reason they are fast becoming to be
popular and the demand at the local
banks increases weekly.
Many of the banking houses the
world over are using every effort to
encourage The use of this form of
exchange, and the patrons are more
then pleased after having used this
method of currency on their sum
mer or business trips.
The practice on the part Of the-ex-
press companies to issue these
checks has long been thorn in the
flesh of the bankers of the country,
who feel that it is an injustice to
pay the express companies for the
transportation of money and then
use this money to pay their checks
with. which has long been an I'M

Death of Orville smith.

The funeral of Orville Smith,
who died at the home Of his broth
or Emmett Smith on the VIM.
Hughes ranch two miles and q
half south of this clty, Saturday
evening, was held from the NJ. E.
church on Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock, when "a large number of
relatives and friends gathered to
pay their last respects to the young
man. The services were conducted
by Rev. Hosdley.
Orville Smith was a young man,
being just past 10 years of age,
and was highly respected by all
who knew him. He had been ,.suf-
fering from tuberculosis of the
foot !ong time, but had recovered
from that when he was stricken
with quick consumption which
ended his life.

ENTERTAINMENT
GREAT SUCCESS

The old folks entertainment
given under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid of the Nj. Z. church at
the church last Tues lay evening
was a great success in every way.
Owing to TIL fact that there
were about 80 performers, the task
of getting everything into work
lug order for a p easing entertain
nent was an undertaking that re-
quired much energy and hard
work, and the ladies of the church
AS we'll as everyone taking part in
the program deserve credit for
their untiring work.
The entertainment was novel in
the extreme.
The object was to de'ineate
olden times, in acts dress and per-
formance. In presenting the acts
necess -ry to picture the intent the
performers were pleasing making
the ant' riainment eltainly ex-
cel{ent.
The audience was carried back
to colonial days where the dress
and doings of human beings dur
aug the time of our pilgrim fathers
were brought out clearly and COM
pared with to1ay were both anus
lug and instructive.
While the entertainment was in
the main, composed of vocal and
instrumental selections, still there
was much individual acting that
greatly helped in making the en-
tertainment interesting.
The recitatious We're of unusual
merit, in fact every number on the
program showed the result of sp-
plication and hard work.
