We take the following from
the Kingman Journal in regard
to the venerable aunt whom A. j.
Johnson visited recently:
Monday, December 30, Grand
ma Angelina Ruggles, of White
township celebrated her Tooth
birthday anniversary. Rela-
tives and friends to the number
of sixty gathered about her on
that day to celebrate the oc
casion. It is. without doubt, the
party ever held in Kingmanco coun-
ty. Grandma Ruggles memory
is a perfect compendium of his
tory, extending over a century
of the busiest time the world
has ever known She looks
back upon this great nation re-
members it in its bib and tucker
days, it's youth, its struggles
down to the present time. She
was born in Willxesbarre, Pa, in
1907. Her family representa-
tives date back to the Pilgrim
fathers. Her advent into the
world was in the year when Full
ton ran the first steam ship up
the Hudson river Thomas JEFF
ferson was president and the
Revolution was thing SO recent
that its veterans were as numer-
Gus in the Will5erbarre commun-
ity as Spanish war veterans are
today. Men. who signed the
declaration of Independence
were still living Not a steam
loom, not power press, not a
reaper, mower, or threshing
machine was in existence, coal
as a fire was unknown. 1t was
80 years before railroads began
to be known in the United States
and so years before the telegraph
became a factor in civilization
and 20 years beforethe telephone
was perfected. Napoleon was
then emperor of France and
George was still king of Eng
land. Only three years had pass
ed since the purchase of the
Louisiana territory whose Tooth
anniversary was celebrated with
the great fair at ST. Louis sever
al years ago. She tells many in
teresting things. She described
the first coal fire she ever saw.
Not long since she was taken to
ride in an automobile by friend.
She remarked that she had lived
to ride in one of the latest inven-
tions of modern times, and that
the children of this generation
would no donbt live to ride in fly
ing machines. Taking it as a
whole Grandma Ruggles is a
most remarkable womanpossess-
ing a keen memory and an active

and Elkins ct al. put them all in q

What the farmers of Iowa need is a
senator at Washington who will fight
enough to make the senate ratify a
treaty which will open European mar
kets TO American meats. If at any
time in the past ten years Senator
Allison had promised a president to
make a fight for one of these trade
agreements the treaty would have been
submitted and the senate would have
been forced by public opinion to &C
quiesce and today there would be a
Shipping demand" at the stoctyards
that would give the beef trust some
competition. Great nations like Ger
many and France would not need to
show no gain in the consumption of
American NETS in twenty years time.
nor would their laboring classes need
be eating horse flesh today. What
Iowa needs is voice in the senate
that will not be silent for forty three
years, while the conditions grow up
which Roosevelt has given battle single
handed to remove.

FoRry.THReE YEARS OF SILENCE.

The farmers of Iowa who watch
the livestock market reports with a
lingering desire for better prices, are
always rejoiced when there is a good
shipping demand When the ship
| pers seem to want hogs or cattle prices
take jump because of competition
among the bidders. So long as the
packers constitute the principal buyers
their common employment by trust
causes them to get together and agree
as to what the farmers of the north
west shall get for their livestock. Ship
ping demand, then. is what is needed,
but how can we get it?
Easy enough, altho strange; congress
possesses the power to give the farm
ers of Iowa. a foreign outlet for live
stock and meat products. Senator Al
lison could. if he would. say the word
that would open markets in Europe to
Iowa cattle, and meats, but his con-
stitutional habit Of compromising has
left Iowa without a champion, while
the railway interests have an Elkins,
Standard Oil has Aldrich, the steel
trust has Dalzell and practically every
other great syndicated interest has
special attorneys among the members
Of the national senate and house Of
representatives.
Congressman Lowering, Of Massachu-
sets. tells of his experience in trying
to help the sllipbuilding interests Of
his state He found that while the
Dingley bill had placed shipbuilding
material on the free list, the language
of the bill compelled the importation
to be made in such form as to be USE
less. in other words, the law had a
Joker in it. When Mr. Lowering ap-
pealed to Congressman DalZell for an
amendment that would promote ship
building in Massachusetts,, DalZell re-
piled: Go see Mr.. -, of the
Steel Company. II he is willing, l am.
If not, there is no use bothering me-"
MIR. -, of the Steel Com
pany. said mo" This schedule had
given the steel trust prohibition Of
all competition instead of protection.
and yet the great nation of Germany
stands ready to open its markets to
American meats in return for a reas-
o,o bIa cnocaS sion Of Sehe5u1eS on steel
and other manufactured products.
The Dingley bin contained a clause
providing for trading down many
schedules fully 20 per cent in return
for favorable trade agreements with
foreign nations. Senator Dolliver once
had courage enough to recall this fact.
President Mckinley did negotiate the
treaties and recommend them to the

Father q Misnomer.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the talented
English actress, said the other day OF
an English critic whose methods she
dislikes:
"The man is not critic at all. He
has not enough intelligence to be
critic. In fact, he bellies his name like
like"
"An incident will supply my simile,'
she said.
: ON one of my voyages to the states
the weather was extremely rough. AS
lay in my berth my luggage and the
fittings OF my stateroom were flung
about horribly. All of a sudden there
came an extra heavy lurch, and some
thing struck me on the head.
II was stunned. The blow had
been severe. When I recovered my
senses and looked to see what had SO
nearly done for me, beheld an admir-
able contrivance marked, in great black
letters, Life Saving Apparatus"

Eastman, you have changed your
mind" the governors laconic reply
was, "Wise men sometimes change
their mines, fools never do" re-
member being in Washington when
President Harrison was inaugurated
into office and hearing him say in his
inaugural address that under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate
for reelection; with the vast patron
age of his office it would be unfair to
others who might seek the office, and
therefore he would under no circum-
stances be again candidate. What
was the result? When the time came
for another presidential election he
had every office holder under his adj
ministration working for him, all the
carpet baggers in the south who did
not have a bakers dozen of constitu-
ency behind them, and he was renom-
mated at Minneapolis. l admit that ne
had few more office holders than
Senator Allison has who owe their APP
pointment to the senator and are
working for him; and still we called
Harrison pretty good president, and
so the world wags. I trust the fac
tons in Iowa will not get so hot as
they did in the democratic ranks in
Kentucky. Governor Beckham. who
had been governor eight years. had
desire to be a candidate for the SEN
ate He belonged to the younger ele-
ment of the party. The old senator
had been long in the office. and so 1t
was the old liners against the younger
progressive element. The primary
system was adopted. Governor Beck
ham won, and the old liners were
bound that he should not be senator,
but at the state election the old liners
pumped their votes straight for the
state republican ticket. and elected by
some 10000 majority in the old dem
ocrat state of Kentucky (what Allf-
sons friends tried to do at the last
election) and still the democrats hal
a small majority in the legislature. and
after voting for six weeks the old lin
ers became afraid the younger ele-
ment would win out in the election Of
governor, and so they voted straight
for the republican ticket.

THE LATEST POLITICAL JOKE.

A. political joke has been perpe-
trated in Des Moines. John j. Ham
ilton is announced as a candidate FOL
governor and will enter the republican
primaries OH platform in part orig
inal and in part the principles OF
Philander c. Knox, who Is making an
unsuccessful effort to have us believe
he is in the running for the presiden-
tial nomination. Des Moines appar-
entity takes Hamilton and his candi-
dacy seriously, the leading newspaper
Of the capital city devoting four coll
umns Of space to his announcement
and platform. But Des Moines has
the Greater Des Moines spirit bad.
Hamilton Is little known outside the
state capital He has been successful
in one undertaking. He established
the cheap daily subscription price in
Iowa He prospered at it, began to grow
old. and then became freakish. He
sold his daily newspaper, moved to
Chicago, sought to establish a woman's
daily newspaper failed, and came back
to Des Moines poorer but apparently
no wiser. Recently he has been en-
ployed as a writer for the Homestead
and allied publications, and now gives
up $4,000 job to enter politics.
Morally Hamilton is a good man. Pol
itically he is ridiculous. His platform Is
a queer mixture of morality and non
sense. He would make statewide pro-
hibition an issue, and stands for re-
submission of the question. He fav-
ors woman suffrage, and wants state
laws enacted that would eradicate from
Des Moines the social evil. He would
expand our educational system, and
would 'canalize" such rivers as the
Iowa, Nishnabotna and Wapsie. and
make them navigable by the expendi-
lures of government monies. He de-
sires the appointment Of commissions
to Investigate all these moral, educa-.
tional and industrial questions suTl-
cient to give every man job who
v $ for him, altho he does not put it
in just that light
The Fifth district once elected to
congress a man who promised to COM
pei the government to make the Iowa
river navigable. That man is now
dead and the Iowa is navigable for
rowboats only when the spring freshets
are on.
Mr.. Hamilton enters the campaign
too late and his issues are too fam
tastic. Outside of Des Moines he will
be accepted about as seriously as Hisey
of Tama, altho, of course, not as pitt
fully.

demand for choice quarters and three

NO OPINION TO CHANGE.
(E.rooklyn Chronicle.)

(EirOOklyn CnrOnlcle.)
There Is no doubt that the tariff Is
to be revised, nor is their any doubt
that many of the schedules will be
lowered 1t is one of the noticeable
things in these days that the very men
who called every man a democrat
who even limited that 1t was possible
that tariff schedules could be too high
are now applauding with great en-
thusiasm tariff planks in state plat
forms calling for the lowering of du-
ties. No, these men have not changed
their opinions; they never had any.
The men who tell them what to be-
lieve, and who distribute the political
pie to "good' politicians. have changed
the signal and they are merely doing
what they are told to do.

deer hanging il the Yoodshed, and
also the pile of stove wood Mr..
Stratton had cut, or he could never
have had time to barricade the
house. The horrid crunching of
bones of the deer and the stovewood
came to his ears as he propped the
door shut with his bootjack and
stuffed his overalls in the window
rendering entrance impossible from
that source. All to soon the deer
and stovewood was devoured and
the boomers made fierce onslaught
on the house. From loopholes in
the wall Stratton fired shot after
shot from his rife until his cart
ridges were exhausted. He then
took his muzzle loading shotgun
and fired buckshot into the awful
horde, but the attack did not cease.
With despair tugging at his heart
Stratton poured the last of his shot
into his gun and fired at the old
gray boomer, the leader of the band
The shot ratified harmlessly on the
tough hide of the boomer, but the
only effect was that it seemed to
enrage him more. Unless this old
boomer could be killed or crippled
Stratton knew his life was forfeited
He had plenty of powder but no
shot. HIS days seemed numbered

and made for the loop hole. He
was none too soon. The boomers,
headed by their leader, were massed
for the final charge. With prayer
on his lips Stratton aimed the gun
and pulled the triggers. A deafen-
ing roar was followed by two terrific
explosions and an awful howl of
anguish, and Stratton tainted.
