When Democrats Will Die.

In reply to the repeated Req.
ublican assertion that the Dem
ocratic party is dead, some un-
known Hickory Democrat has
put into verse the conditions
under which, and the time
when, Democracy will die:
When the lion eats grass like an OK
And the fishworln swallows the whalel
When the terrapins knit woolen socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail:
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel Ike frogs;
When the ssaashoppss feeds on the hen,
And feathers are found on the hog;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare.
And snuff never makes people sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When dutchmen no longer drink beer.
And girls get to preaching on time;
When the billy goat buttsfro the rear.
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like an
ass,
And limburger smells like.cologne;
When plow shears are made out of glass,
And hearts of good women are stone;
When sense grows in Republican heads.
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be dead
And this country not worth d-m.

As 1t Has Been in the Past.
In reading some of the papers
of the country, one would nat
urally conclude that the Repub-
lican party is the only political
party that ever ruled in this
country, while the fact is, that
the Democratic party guided
the old ship of state over the
troubled sea from the organi-
zation of the government up to
1910. 1t was the Democratic
party that formed the govern
ment. Not a foot of territory,
except Alaska, was ever acqui-
red that has not the stamp of
Democracy upon it, except per-
haps, such late addition as is
held by questionable authority.

Smallpox and high water
have been the topics that have

Water still runs down hill,

very much land was flooded

when the water was five inches
higher.
Many farmers have suffered
great loss as a result of over
flow. Among the number, G.

of corn and about all his wheat
crop. His sons, Jackson, SO or

wheat; Frank, his whole crop,

Collection Good for 4th Jnly.

The finance committee made
the rounds yesterday afternoon,
and this forenoon and report
good collections. The mer-
chants are donating literally
and enough money is forthc com-
ing to make a good celebration
possible. The posters and
small bills will be sent out
sometime the latter part of the
week and will be posted all
over the territory adjacent to
Mo. Valley. The managers of
the parade will request that no
fireworks or other explosives
be used during the parade as
there will be many horses that
might become frightened; in
fact, they insist that noise be
cut out generally. The fore
noon program will be up town
and the afternoon program at
the fair grounds. People will
have plenty of conveyances to
the grounds as the liverymen
will take care of them, and
horses and buggies can be left
up town.
The Ancient Order of
United Workmen voted last
evening to have a fine float in
the parade. Thus the list keeps
growing.
