lieve that the only fault-f2ders were
the wage earners, but his mind is now
changed, for on Thursday we talked
with three farmers and each one had
different kick coming. One said
there would be a dry summer, and a
Snort crop; another said that frost
was sure to come early and corn would
not mature; the third said that the
season was late and there would only
be a two-thirds crop planted. All
three crossed the bridge of time be-
fore they got to it, winch is something
the writer never does, for our friends
should remember that they live in
Iowa, the garden spot OF the world,
where such thing as failure is I'M
known, and this year is no exception
to the rule; and let us look to see
the old-time harvest of the past, and
we would suggest to our friends to
never borrow trouble, but always to
look on the bright side of life and
they will live longer.

true in reading the press il the case
of one Peter Sullivan of Hamilton,
Marion county. A few years ago he
was heralded all over the country as
a hero, then being the prosecuting
witness in the famous Bill" Richards
case. A few months ago ne and Stell-
iags Slocum, thu oldest son of George
Slocum, who was killed in the mines at
Evans in 1883, were playing cards at
Hamilton and there was fifty cents
between them, and n row started
Sullivan in the melee tried to cut Slo-
GUMS throat with a. knife and did cut
off part of one Of his ears. AS re-
suit, Sullivan was indicted for assault
to commit murder and was convicted
and sentenced to three years at Fort
Madison, and is now there keeping
company with "BhI" Richards. The
writer knows both parties well. Sui

Tne writer while in Oskaloosa Sat
urday had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Jenkin Reese and J. w. Jones, two
aged aid respected miners. They
are both deyout readers of the press
and keep themselves posted on all
public matters of the day, as well as
being contributors to the press. we
have often read able articles from
their pens and always appreciated
them. Messrs. Reese and Jones in
form us they have both retired from
mining and are now taking life as
easy as their circumstances will admit.
On account of the election of the
miners on the purchasing of a min
ers' home, Saturday, the mines were
closed for the day. The polls were
open at Z a. m, for the miners to vote
in order for them to attend the show.
Mr.. Davis, the general manager OF
the mines, paid them for the last haf
of April at 10 a. m, which was greatly
appreciated by them as it showed
kindness as well as taking an interest
in their eljoymenIs, and as a result,
Bolton was largely depopulated Sltur-
day.
The White City correspondent in
her last letter does not seem to quos-
ton the morality of the town in the
least, but says more education is
needed. The point is well taken, for
education will improve on morality
every time, and from the number of
pupils there, we see no reason why
there should not be at least nine
months school in the year, and hope
that the prayer of the correspondent
there will be granted, for they are
the ones who generally sound the
key-not to all that is good in speak
ing of the wants of their town.

into the mine and on his return out

Saying that he was well impressed
with the town and location, as being

as well as the seam of coal in the

ODD CASE OF COMBUSTION.
Rose Bushes Shipped in Wet Moss Al
most Burned Up.

A peculiar case of spontaneous COM
bustion, or something like it, is de-
scribed by writer in Casters Mag
aZine.
On February IT, 1906, two large re-
frigeratOr cars of young rosebushes
were received at Hannibal, M, from
nursery in California. They were
shipped in wooden cases containing
numerous auger holes for ventilation
and were carefully packed with wet
sphagnum, or California swamp moss,
to prevent chatting and to support
their vitality.
No ice was put in the cooling tanks,
and the covers of these, as well as all
other openings in the cars, were
closed as tightly as possible. The
cars were ten days. in transit. The out
side temperature was so degrees
Fahrenheit at the start and Is de-
grees at the end of the trip.
Upon arrival steam was issuing
from every crevice of the cars. Upon
removing the tank covers it rushed
out in large volume. The doors were
opened and ice was put in the tanks;
the free circulation of cold air soon
cooled the contents of the cars.
In unloading it was discovered that
some of the upper layers of boxes
were badly damaged by heat, which
naturally was most intense near the
top of the cars. No signs of actual
combustion were found, but this
would probably have occurred in a
short time had not the cars been
quickly cooled.
The temperature must have been
nearly up to the burning point, as
many of the green stems of these
plants were black and brittle.

AN IMPORTANT CASE
Patient Cured of Ataxia Gives the
Entire Credit to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Mrs. S. C. Wellock, of ia Cleveland
Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife of
an employee in the government works
at Chelsea, says:
81 had been troubled with nervous
ness for ten years and the disease
kept growing on me. Then learned
that / was suffering from locomotor
ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in
my right leg which would get rigid
and when this happened in the street
I mad to stand still until it passed
away to keep from falling. My right
arm felt as if a thousand needles were
pricking it. The sheet touching my
knee in bed would nearly cause me
to scream out with pain and both
knees were so weak I could hardly
stand
81 had to use a cane and be helped
about by my son. Then the pain be-
gan to settle in the calves of my legs
and the muscles became numb and
uuivered constantly. The cords un-
der my knees seemed to be drawn up
tight and the terrible shooting pains
in my legs would nearly drive me in
sane. My toes became numb and at
times would prickle as if needles were
being thrust into them. My eyes be-
came dull and black spots floated be-
fore them. My heart was very weak.
"My attention was called to DR..
Williams Pink Pills and I bought sew
era1 boxes right away and soon felt
relief. | was SO pleased that kept
on taking them until they cured me
entirely, and I have had no symptoms
of the trouble for over year"
