MUST BE RECKONED WITH.

The following sensible article from
the pen of Hon. A. b. Funk, editor
of the Spirit Lake Beacon, a PRO
gressive" paper, should be read by
every Republican and given fair
consideration. There is no question
but the governor has large and en-
thusiastic following of the party in
Iowa who have the same rights and
privileges to be heard as any other
member of the party. Senator Funk
says:
Governor A. B. Cummins is newt
ably candidate for senator. He has
not attempted during the years of his
political prominence to conceal his
ambition in that direction. Ii this
were all Republicans have to reckon
with there would be little cause for
concern, for the mere ambition OF no
single man can largely influence pub
lie affairs. But behind this candidate
is a host of Republicans demanding
his selection. 1t will hardly be denied
that no other Republican excepting
Senator Allison could have defeated
Governor CumminS at the June pri.
maries. In this contest the governor
took on political troubles not hitherto
encountered. In view of the national
pre-eminence of the senior senator,
his long career of public usefulness
and his irreproachable life the wonder
is not that Cummins should have been
defeated but that he should have re.
ceived more than forty seven per cent
of the Republican vote cast. This re-
cord makes his candidacy logical and
inevitable. Men may Cavil as to why
he ran at all and why they are not in
harmony with the governor, but the
Repu blican party has to deal with the
host of Republicans, nearly one hun
dred thousand strong, who stood up to
be counted for him in June under Cir
cumstances trying to many, and to an
additional number who after Allison
feel that he should be sent to the SEN
ate of the United States.
1t is not merely with Cummins, but
with the intensely devoted legion Of
Republicans behind Cummins that
reckoning must now be had. If the
old factional lines shall be drawn to
| defeat him United States senator
ship in the stalwart state of Iowa is in
a threat. The Beacon is for Republi-
cans everywhere, because Republi-
can it might not like can in its judg-
ment serve the people at Washington
better than any Democrat to whom il
might feel warm personal attachment.
If the fight is renewed on the old lines
Republican candidates for the legisla.
ture are in peril almost everywhere,
and neither faction will be much more
than half to blame for such political
disaster as may result.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNTY
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
ALLISON, THE LOVING LEADER

Because of our absence the last two
weeks, but little was said of the death
and burial of Senator Allison. We
left here Tuesday morning, August
the Fourth. At five O'Clock that day
We were greatly surprised and shocked
to hear of the Senator's sudden death.
But with the surprise and the shock
and the regret of his passing away
there was mingled one of sincere pleas
ure that we had done what we could to
secure his denomination for another
term. Senator Allison lived noble
life in the service of the state and ma
ton. From Lincoln to Roosevelt in
elusive, he was a member of the Ma
tional Congress and one of the great
est men of his time. But his work is
done; his book of life is closed; his
body lies in beautiful Linwood Gene
terry at Dubuque overlooking the
Mississippi, and his spirit has gone
to it's reward. In looking over our
exchanges, we find an article under
the heading above from the pen of the
venerable editor of the Mount Ayr
Record-News that we think worth
reading and preserving:
Senator Allison was a remarkable
man in the best sense of that express
sion. He was the most lovely public
man that we have ever met. There
was much in him to attract admiration
and affection and but little to repel.
The more you knew OF him the better
YOU liked him, that is to say, If you
like nobility of character and man
hood. He always appealed the best
in men.
The character of Senator Allison
was based on merit and manhood.
His life was true to ideals. He ruled
by love and did not cater to the pas
sions and prejudices of men. He calm
ly presented the truth as he apprehend-
ed it and expected it to produce con-
yictiop. In his efforts to reach men
and influence them, he did not resort
to fear or force. He never attempted
tC, drive them. He presented the truth
in love, a hard thing to do and thing
rarely done. He possessed a great
wealth of love and forebearance. Often
a kind look told all that he needed to
saw. He thus fastened to himself
friends as by "hooks of steel.' He
could not be mere actor and most
men who came into his presence were
at once disarmed and became ashamed
of all acting and scheming.
The most of our public men strive
to accomplish their ends by the use Of
arguments. They at once assume the
combative. They run wildly as die
the old Roman gladiator and spring
at once into the arena of conflict. Oui
legislative halls become mere debating
societies. They forget that the. mar
convinced against his will remains O
the same opinion still. Truth is bu
seldom thus developed. AS rule pas
sions are aroused and prejudices arr
deepened. Legislative halls thus be
come battlefelds. Deliberation, tn
object of assembling in conference, i
defeated. Senator Allison had no
aptitudes and tastes in this kind o
thing. He never talked to merely b
talking. His person personitied low
and hence he became great leader
Men followed his lead from love an
respect. The most damaging politica
work of the period, has been the al

OIL THE MACHINERY
By H. NJ. Banner, Colorado.

Another very important point in
caring for farm machinery is to prop
erly oil all working parts 1t has been
wisely said by OBrien that coil. is
the cheapest machinery we have"
The farmer must know not only how
and where to oil every working part
Of his machine, but he must oil it.
The fact that some parts need great
deal more oil than others must not
be overlooked. Some parts that are
handy will receive more oil than is
necessary, while other parts which are
not so handy are neglected almost al
together
Sometimes oil holes will become
clogged with dirt and while they may
appear to be open still do not convey
the oil to the wearing parts; this will
often result in serious damage. In
other cases certain machines have
been condemned by operators simply
because one or two oiling places had
been entirely overlooked.

ANCIENT INDIAN ORDER.
Strange Religious Rites Observed b,

Strange Religious Rites Observed by
Remnant of New England Tribe.
Up in the northeast corner of the
state there is a small band of Seneca
Indians on a reservation of the same
name, says the Muskogee correspond
ent of the Kansas City Times. This
is a remnant of a nation of Indians
that can be traced from the original
New England States, as they were
forced west and south by the en-
croachment of the whites and the bat
tie arm of stronger Indian bands that
were constantly warning against them.
Among this little band of Indians,
probably not more than 100 all told,
there are some curious heather rites
that seem to be instructive with the
tribe.
Among them there is an old order
known as "The Wood Face" Those
who belong to the order can call in
the "Wood Faces" in case of sickness,
as is often done. They go through
out from the sick person the evil
spirit that may be lowering around
the bed These faces are masks made
out of wood, usually carved to repre-
sent a human form of some character,
but sometimes made to represent the
head of some animal. They are paint
ed red and black, with large silver
eyes and a horse tail for hair
Arrayed in one Of these hideous
masks, together with rattles made of
turtle shells fastened together at the
outer edges with small stones inside
and tied to the legs of the Wood
Faces" as they dance, roll and kick,
singing their lamentations the while,
the Indians present scene calculated
to drive away any evil spirit that
might happen along and incidentally
drive the life out of the patient.
1t appears that this organization
has been in the tribe for many gener-
ations, the modes of procedure differ
ing sometimes, but following the same
general character. It's secret signs
and symbols are guarded as closely
as Masonry and it's fraternal features
are as binding. It's spiritual benefits
are believed in implicitly.

RUSTY CANS
INJURE MILK
By George A. Olson, Asst. Chemist
Wisconsin Experiment
Station.

Experiments made show that milk
hauled in poorly-tinned or rusty cans
is materially injured for cheese max
ing. The cheese factory operator
should not hesitate to refuse nilk
which is hauled in poorly-tinned or rus
ty cans, for, in addition to the retard-
ing influence of the iron on the rennet
action and the naturalization Of the
acid by the iron, there are also pro-
duced taints or off f1avors.
The milk cans used to haul milk to
the cheese factory are often of a
cheap grade, and are dented the first
or second time that they are used,
with a result that the tin cracks, and
the iron is exposed and rusts. AT
one Wisconsin factory a can was
found that had been used for IL years,
and had been soldered 40 times, with
lead patches two inches in diameter
in some places. Milk kept in such
cans would take 40 minutes longer to
coagulate than that kept in good cans.
In these experiments milk was
placed in rusty tin cans and allowed
to stand for different periods, while
other samples Of the same milk were
kept in glass beakers. Every time that
this experiment was repeated the milk
kept in the rusty cans gave evidence
of retarding influence on the rennet
action, as compared with the milk
kept in the glass beaker. Milk which
was allowed to stand i'll iron utensils
for several hours had peculiar blu
ish-gray color, indicating the presence
of iron in solution. 1t was evident that
the acid in the milk acted upon the
iron and dissolved some of it. The
maximum quantity of iron dissolved
in the milk ranged from one to III
pounds for every thousand pounds of
milk This iron in solution at least
