~ placed IN sharp competition Win
the city merchants, and could not
fail to be worsted in the eneoupterl
To this contention the friends Of
the measure reply, 1T would be OF
great advantage to the local mer-
chant, who because OF the variety
cannot keep large stock of any
one line of goods. The parcels post
system would enable him to get
small quantities of supplies to meet
emergencies or special orders, with
in a short time, which he could
supply TO his customer, with his
usual percentage OF profit
The enemies of the bill say that
this reasoning leoks nicely on pa
per but will entirely fail to con
vince the small dealer, who will
inevitably suffer more or less, by
reason OF that trait OF all custom
ers, an inclination to be led by
glowing advertisements of the mail
order business, and wild hope to
get something for nothing.
While the proposed bill looks
good in some OF its aspects, there
are many who out OF a spirit OF
fairness to the merchants OF their
community, would regret to see its
passage, were it liable to affect
home business as seriously as is
predicted. One phrase of the ques-
ton should be born in mind, viz:
the mail order merchant of the
city transacts a strictly cash busi-
ness and no one would be so un-
sophisticated as to send him an
order for merchandise and ask
credit ON same for even day; the
motto OF this mail order business is
and will be, Money talks" The
local merchant is always more or
less {often more) committed to a
credit system. When the farmer
or the mechanic finds. himself a
trifie short" awaiting the market
ing OF the crops or the payment Of
that job OF work, he does not tell
his trouble to the policeman, but
to his grocer or general merchant,
and tits not infrequently happcus
that he is not quite in such haste
to pay up as hewas tosolicit credit.
The local merchant has in this way
an investment OF several hundred
dollars on his book, and even if
every account is 4as good as gold, ="
these accounts are simply sums "
ing die, which might otherwise be
producing
He is linaE's to charge interest
like the city merchant (for the Gus
tom ofallowing five per cent of sor
cash, is practically chg Eging inter
est Tor credit purchase b he is ex-
pected to sell at cut rates and Tor
credit also, and certainly iSa9ould
be lar IRON a square deal for these
credit cast5mers, whom ne has
carried through many days OF
stripgepcy5 to rush off their few
cash orders to the mail order store
OF the city.
II the parcels post is to be az
equal advantage Tor all we shall
hope fer IFS passage, but il if. Is to
initiate against the local business

Manchester, July 9.-That the fish
and game laws on the statute books
of Iowa put giant firecrackers in the
same class as dynamite, was discovered
by John Power, prominent farmer
of this county, and his two sons in law,
George Smith and Don Minkler. The
men found out also, If they did not
know 1t before, that Ignorance Of the
law excuses no one"
The Power family live on the old
Mid Eldrdge farm, few miles south
east of this city, near Baiey's ford,
which is favorite fishing spot for the
disciples Of Ike Walton, who reside in
this vicinity. After displaying their
unbounded enthusiasm in fitting
manner on the Fourth of July around
the old homestead, Power and the
two young men went to the river for
a refreshing dip. While enjoying the
cooling pleasures of their swim, the
men thought it would be pleasant
diversion to put a giant firecracker in
dIl olu DdlI can ana see 1t explode.
Accordingly they fixed up the impro-
vlsed cannon into a sort Of sub-mar.
inc torpedo and touched 1t off. 1t not
only had the desired effect Of shooting
the water UP like a Yellowstone gey-
ser, but it made 50 many members of
the finny tribe sick that they failed to
recover.
While 1t is absolutely certain to
their friends that Power, Minkler and
Smith had no intention of breaking the
law by killing the fish, the fact re-
NAMED nevertheless that the fish died
from the result of the explosion and
the matter was reported to Deputy
Game Warden II. S. Tubbs, of this
city. who caused the three men to be
bought into court. They were arraigned
before Justice j. NJ. Pearse this morn-
ing who gave them the minimum fine
for such an offense which together
with the costs, amounted to $3.50.
All three Of the men implicated in
the affair are we'll known In this coun-
ty and bear excellent regulations. The
fact that only a few suckers" and
crappies were killed. evidence enough
that the men only intended to have
little fun, but whie< eventually proved
costly sport.

Special TO Times-Republican.
Cedar Rapids, July 9.-Walter Good
fellow. aged IL years. a son of Andrew
Goodfellow, of 700 First avenue, west.
was drowned in the Cedar river yester-
day afternoon shortly after o'clock.
He had gone up the river soon after
dinner with two Young boys, Fred
Smith, a son OF BILLY" Smith, and
Willard Morgan, a son of F. G. Nor
gan. They went into the river about
$50 yards above the two islands, di-
rectly opposite Robert Ellis residence
on the east side of the river.
Walter Goodfellow was unable to
swim, so Fred Smith said, and got out
about a hundred feet from the shore,
beyond his depth. He went under and
the Smith and Morgan boys called to
Henry Seymour, Sam Grier and Mr.
White, who were going by in a gasoline
launch. The men did not hear them at
first and when they did and started to
turn the boat something happened to
the machinery One of the men at once
Jumped into the river in an effort to
save the boy, but he had disappeared
for the last time.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed,

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family phys
ician is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus re-
quire prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or phys
ician summoned The right way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe a better
medicine for these diseases. BY hav-
ing it in the house YOU escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. But
it now; 1t may save life. For sale by
