We are unusually late this week
owing to the work incidental to setting
up the big drum press which hereafter
will be used in printing the PLAIN
DEALER. 1t, is a big job to take down
two presses and set up one and get it
adjusted to do the work required of it,
and it will probably take several issues
before everything about the press will
be entirely satisfactory.
The electric storm of last Thursday
night struck on the Henry Albers Sr.,
farm. on which Rudolph ErnstJ Jr. lives,
and lightning hit the barn doing about
$10O damage. A COW was also killed
that had just been MIXED and turned
out. The barn and COW were fully
covered by insurance. Fred ,Lukish's
barn near Protivin was struck, and at
Erick Ellingson's south of Ridgeway a
windmill was struck. In town here a
tree at the the M. E. parsonage, was
struck and several people in town were
knocked down by the same bolt.

Prosperity That is Not Prosperous.

Demonstrating prosperity has its
cruel side. About July 3rd dispatches
from Pittsburg published in the daily
press announced that $4,000 men were
to go work in the Pittsburg mills on
Monday the 9th. These dispatches did
not help the prosperity of John T. Mil
roy of Jersey City, who spent $28. SO
olearn that the thousands of unemploy-
ed in Pittsburg are still out of jobs.
Here is his statement as published in
the New York Evening Post of the 18th:
Nine weeks ago lost may place in
the business office of an iron company
on account of dull times, and about two
weeks ago, after searching in vain here
for work, went to Pittsburg to look
for work. was led to make the trip
by newspaper dispatch which said
that $4,000 men had been put at work
l thought that if this were true would
surely be able to get place.
When got to Pittsburg found the
newspaper report to have bee abolute-
ly untrue. There are thousands of men
out of work in Pittsburg, and l was
told at two factories where l applied
for work and made inquiry about the
calling back of the workmen, that it
made people feel better to have the
the newspapers print sunshine news.
Maybe this is sunshine news to many
people, but it cost me $3.50 that l
could not afford to spend. am back
here and still out of work. If the
newspapers would print the Truth l
think it would be better, or at least if
they cannot set forth the real situation,
they might better remain silent. If
the peal facts were made known, how
ever, it would more speedily bring
back prosperity. But this seems to
be the American way-to hide our
wounds in adversity, and talk about
prosperity ad nauseam when we are
really prosperous.
l suspect that some stock jobbing
game has to be furthered by these false
yarns, as man met in Pittsburg said
he had been in St. Louis recently look
ing for work, and he was told that a
prosperity movement was started
there, not by the merchants but by the
Union Pacific railroad and other lines;
that the orders were to lie as much as
necessary to bring about the good feel
ing. Great is prosperity and great is
humbug!

Weather and Cros Bulletia.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 81 l9O8.-
The average daily temperature wa
about normal; the daily departures
ranging from plus one degree in the
eastern to minus one degree in the
western part Of the state. The rainfall
was generally below the normal, and
the sunshine was excessive. The
weather was generally fair but light
and widely scattered showers occurred
over the larger part Of the state from
Tuesday to Sunday. Heavy rains fell
Sunday night in the central and north
central districts, especially in the up
per Des Moines river valley, as shown
by the following telegraphic reports,
viz: Boone, 3.46 inches; Fort Dodge,
8 05, and Estherville, 2.10.
The bulk Of an exceptionally large
crop of hay has been secured In good
condition. The small grain harvest has
been vigorously pushed and is now
nearing completion III southern dis
tricts. Threshing returns indicate q
light yield and fair quality Of oats;
the yield ranging from 10 to rs bushels
per acre. Winter wheat and barley
show good quality and average from 20
to IS bushels per acre. Conditions have
been favorable for corn but rain will
be needed soon over . large part of the
state If the rapid growth of the past
three weeks is maintained. Potatoes
and pastures are still in good condition.

A Pleasant Reuniou.

The Oshkosh, Wis, Daily North
western contains the following report
Of Q reunion Of sold boys and girls''
held at Waukau:.
Waukau, Wis, July o. One Of the
most pleasant events in the history of
Waukau was the gathering of most OF
the persons who were pupils of the
Waakau school In the classes of 1868 to
1872, when o. A. Parks was the prin-
cipal, the affair taking place here last
Saturday, July lS. The occasion was q
reunion and banquet in honor of one Of
the class, L. T.. Wright, state superin-
tendent Of the public schools of Michi-
gan, who, with his wife, are at present
guests Of DR.. and Mrs. C. w. Oviatt
of Oshkosh. The reunion and banquet
was held in the public hall ct this place
and was 80 enjoyable it will be repeat
ed annually. A highly interesting pro-
gram was rendered and each one pres
ent was called upon to express himself
concerning the occasion. Mrs. Annie
Copeland gave reading entitled 1.-THE
Boys" Greetings sent to Mrs. Lottie
Carter Kellow Of Cresco, Iowa, from
those unable to attend were read by
Mrs. Kellow and we'll chosen remarks
we're made by Frank Leach of Mime
apolis and L. L. Wright OF Michigan.
After the repast and program of re-
marks, the "boys and girls, now men
and women averaging fifty years of
age, went to the old school house,
where they sang old songs and visited
and exchanged experiences. 1t was
time for memory, for laughter and for
tears. Those attending gave much
credit to Mrs. Kellow of Cresco, Iowa,
and Mrs. Jennie Chapelle of Eureka
for arranging the meeting. A perma-
nent organization was formed and the
following officers elected: President,
Mrs. Jennie Chapelle; secretary, Mrs.
Lottie Kellow; treasurer, Miss Lucy
Erickson.
The following day being Sunday the
"old boys and girls" occupied seats re-
served for them in the church at Wau-
kau. The entire event was feature
in the lives of those attending which
each will never forget.

CREsCO, HOWARD COUNTY. IOWA FRIDAY
The Cresco Republican is No More.

After an existence of over twenty
years, the Cresco Republican is no
more. For several years it has been
on the verge of dissolution but has
been kept alive by the expenditure Of
considerable amount of money in
excess of the revenues of the business.
After falling in the hands of a Wiscon-
sin land man, the small patronage then
accorded it steadily dwindled and not
being able to find purchaser for the
plant it was offered to the PLAIN
DEALER and Times at such sacrifice
that the offer could not be refused.
The PLAIN DEALER takes the large
drum newspaper press-a piece of
machinery necessary to us on account
of the need of a faster press to accom-
modate the large amount of press work
Incidental to our semi-weekly issues
and large circulation. The balance of
the material and the subscription list
were taken by the Times.
We believe the new arrangement will
be as much or more benefit to the
people of the town and county as it is
to the PLAIN DEALER or Times. For
some time the business men of the
town have felt that support of third
paper in Cresco was burden to them,
that the benefit to them was inconse-
quential in proportion to the expense
it was to them; and the newspaper
readers of the town and county who
had their names upon the subscription
list of the three Cresco papers felt that
it was an imposition on them to he
asked to support three papers when
two was all they thought necessary.
Fewer and better newspapers seems
to be demanded by the public every
where and we believe the elimination
of the third paper in Cresco will be
favorably received by all newspaper
patrons.

arrange their boundaries in such a
manner as to promote the most ef-
ficient administration. No actual
addition to the forest area is in
volved in the plan.
The cache forest will consist of
the Logan and Idaho divisions of
the bear river national forests, and
will be administered by Supervisor
Woodruff, with headquarters at To-

Forest will consist of the present
Pocatello and Port Neuf National

These areas will be administered by
Supervisor Wrensted, with head
quarters at Pocatello, Idaho.
Under the general plan Of redis-
tricting s new administrative units
will be established from the exist
ing national forest area, The attempt
is being made by the forest service
to reduce the area OF the admins
trativ& units TO an average of ap-
proNimately 100000 acres. This
will not be possible in all cases. as

soil can procure and set the plants
in it. The grass roots cannot creep
in and rob the plants of the mois-
ture they need, and they will grow
luxuriantly.
Many people wonder how such
plants as geraniums, double petunias
and others can be made to grow so
strongly in a level lawn of blue
grass without any tile or other edg-
ing about them. In these tubs or
buckets all one has to do is to keep
the plants properly trimmed and
the weeds out to have them look as
nice as those growing in pots or in
rich soil in the garden. single
group of flowers growing in a tub
on a lawn very often gives it fin
ishing beauty touch. that nothing
else will. Such a little group re-
