Up to the Local Merchant.

An exchange says with much reason:
Gust now the papers are we'll filled
with articles on the subject of trading
at home. The best argument in favor
of home trade is one that can be fur
nished by the home merchant himself
and by no one else. This is the quo
tation of prices that will convince the
buyer that he can do as we'll or better
at home. Editors may write of the
ethical and moral side of the question
until their fingers are worn to the
bone, and they may call the catalogue
houses all the uncomplimentary names
at their command, but so long as the
buyer believes that he can buy goods
% per cent cheaper in Chicago than at
home, it is uphill work trying to con-
vince the average man that it is not
to his interest to buy in Chicago. AS
a rule, goods can be bought of an up
to-date local merchant as cheaply, or
cheaper, quality considered, as they
can be bought elsewhere. None is
better able to prove this than the local
merchant and the same methods are
open to him that the catalogue houses
have found so effective, and that is to
advertise, quoting the exact kind and
quality Of goods offered and prices for
same"

1t is a remarkable coincidence that
the two great corn huskers of Iowa:
Charles Rennack and Ora Hopkins have
passed from this life within few
months of each other. Both were splen-
did specimens of physical manhood,
muscular and strong and able to stand
the strain and tremendous eXertion that
enabled them to husk over 200 bushels
of corn in ten hours. Who would have
thought two years ago that these young
men had but short time to live! Their
untimely death shows the uncertainty
OF life. The weak and sickly and old are
still with us while these young men,
who looked as if they were proof against
the grim reaper have been among the
first to fall. Charlie Rennack was killed
by accident while Ora Hopkins fell a
victim to peritonitis. 1t may be that
his trouble started from the great
exertion in breaking the worlds record
in the corn field. At any rate he has
been afflicted for year or more with
catarrhal appendicitis and last Tuesday
he was taken seriously ill with obstruc,
tion of the bowels and rapidly grew
worse until death ended his sufferings
Sunday night. Every reader of this
paper will mourn for the death of this
young man.-Shenandoah Sentinel-Post

Must Wed or Pay Fine.

Fort Dodge, Mch. 22.-Single blessed
ness was formally outlawed here when
the city council passed an ordinance
by unanimous vote requiring that all
bachelors and spinsters between a pre-
scribed age must marry within sixty
days or pay penalty. The ordinance
reads as follows:
"That all able-bodied persons be-
tween the ages of % and as years, whose
mental and physical propensities or
capabilities are normal and who are not
now married, shall be required to marry
within sixty days. Any person or per-
sons failing to comply with the pro-
visions of this ordinance shall be re-
quired to marry within sixty days. Any
person or persons failing to comply
with the provisions of this ordinance
shall be fined not less than $40 nor
more than 500, according to the crimi-
nal negligence of the person or persons
unmarried.

Occasionally one will hear the remark
81 wish was out of this town. and then
one feels like saying, 81 wish you were, y
for man, who stands on the streets
chewing and splitting, telling obscene
stories, cursing the town, finding fault
with his grandmother because she was
woman, claiming that the merchants
are lot of thieves, that the lawyers
would skin man to finish, and a whole
lot more, is nuisance and an abomina-
ton. Any town pestered with one or
more such worthless would be justified
in exercising cowhide authority on the
bosom of their pants. No one is obliged
to live where he is not suited. If one
hasn't an encouraging word for the bust
ness enterprises and institutions of his
town, he should shut up and $50 way
back and sit down." fittings don't suit
you, move on to where they will. A
growler and sorehead in town is ar
enterprise killer every time. Itwould
pay town to donate $500 and tell hin
to migrate.
