sonal popularity and his splendid
business qualifications brought him
into politics. He has represented his
district for eight years in the state
senate and his record there has been
without flaw. Last June he was
nominated by his party for the office of
state auditor, receiving majority of
more than 10000. He is one among
Iowa's many noble characters.
One OF the most pleasant incidents OF
the reunion to John II. Scholtield was
the meeting of his old comrade, James
Wilson, of Kidder, Missouri. These
gentlemen we're together in battle at
Chickamauga, where Mr.. Wilson was
shot in the left breast, the bullet pass
ing through the lung and out at his
back, killing his brother who was be-
hind him Mr.. Wilson lay on the
battle field five days without food or
medical attention as he was thought
to be mortally wounded. He had re-
quested comrade to cut his clothes
so he could hold his wounds together
that he might breath. Finally he was
taken to the hospital in Chattanooga
and recovered. Mr.. Schofiield enjoy
ed this visit greatly.

| REUNION
! AT GRISWOLD
Because OF the Large Attendance and
the Hearty Welcome Given by the
People at That Place
VETERANS GO BACK NEXT YEAR
Below we give few extracts from a
lengthy report made by that good
paper, The GriswoId Ameri-
can

Major Freeman, of Audubon, and
his drum corps, was another feature OF
this reunion that added greatly to the
enjoyment of all, especially the old
veterans. These old boys were out
early and late Within flies and drums
and their stirring music caused many
OF the old boys to appear young again.
Hon. f.. b. Woodruff, of Glenwood,
one of the speakers here during the
reunion, is the republican candidate
for district Judge. He is a grand man.
His election is n foregone conclusion
as the opposition has not seen fit to
place any one in the field against him.
AT the annual business meeting,
Anita, Villisca and Griswold were
named as candidates for 1909 meeting.
The vote on this proposition was
Anita twenty-three, Villisca twenty
nine, Griswold eighty-three. Griswold
did not have quite the two-third vote
as required, but Anita moved that
Griswold be selected which carried
with shout.
Never before in the history OF Girls
void were there so many good and time
ly talks delivered in the town. Every
speaker brought a message of good
not "knocker" on the program.
They all admitted that evil existed and
thai it would always exist, but we were
able to take care of ourselves and
were growing constantly better. Our
country was one to be proud OF and
our institutions were the great bulwark
of our liberties. In short, it was u
grand and glorious reunion and every
one went home happy that they were q
part OF this great and glorious country.
Hon. Walter |. Smith, the popular
congressman from this district, was
on hand and delivered the address
Wednesday afternoon. He was in
splendid trim to address an audience
such as was before him. 1t was an
audience made up of patriotic citizens
and was in a proper mood to listen to
the grand address delivered by our
congressman. He discussed patriot
ism and love of country and when he
reached that part Of his address in
which he alluded to the fiendish action
of the late mob over in Springfield,
Illinois. he was most earnest. He call
ed things by their right names and did
not mince his words. He called muir
derers murderes and only wished that
it had been the old veterans OF 1876
that had been ordered to dispense that
mob. The result would have been diff
ferent. His address throughout was
received with enthusiasm.
Hon. John l.. Bleakley when young
in life entered upon the life Of bust
ness man. He moved to Ida Grove
when that city was young in years and
until quite recently has been identified
with the businessinterests OF that place.
His clean personal character, his per-

TAFT A STRONG CANDIDATE


OF all the presidential candidates
within the memory of this generation,
Taft is PROFESSIONALLY the best equip
ped, in training and experience, and
in wide and close contact with large
affairs. In one important respect his
equipment is unlike that OF any of the
presidents, no one of whom had ever
served on the bench. With the excep-
ton OF those nominated on their mill
tary records, and two or three who
had been governors Of their states,
the presidents have been men whose
political training was in the legislative
branch. Taft was never in congress,
or even In his state legislature. He is
wholly without personal experience
in what Is called practical politics.
He was educated for the bar; early be-
came Judge: the whole trend OF his
thought and Of his ambition has been
in the line OF the judiciary, and his in
grained judicial training it was that
made him so conspicuously useful and
successful in the many difficult admin
istrative problems he was later called
upon to solve.
1t was distinct sacrifice he made
when President Mckinley took him
from life position that he enjoyed,
and was in line OF his dearest hopes,
to lay upon him the burden of estab-
fishing peace and order In the Phillip
pines. The judgment, tact and skill
with which he carried on that great
task; the candid diplomacy with which
he has upheld the interests Of those
PARKWAY people in the face Of inditfer-
ence at home, were an honor to the
nation. The same qualities of wise
adjudicator have been repeatedly at
the service OF the country. In Cuba,
in Panama, In Japan, it has been
necessary only to "send for Taft.
misunderstanding are cleared up and
difficulties vanish before this gracious
personality, his calm, clear, disin-
terestedness have been as unmlstak-
able as his quiet strength, his unswerv-
ing sense OF justice, his absolute hon.

The Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales is not a strik-
ing figure; there is nothing heroic or
regal about him. Physically, he is a
duplicate Of the Gear, his cousin. He
wore the full dress of an admiral Of
the fleet. He is a smaller mar than
one supposes from his picture, not so
broad of chest nor as full Of face.
His hair and beard border on the
tawny, and his eyes are light blue and
hone too piercing, with deep wrinkles
beneath them. He appeared nervous
throughout, constantly Juggling at his
collar or toying with IN order at his
throat. He vas as perfectly groomed
a man as n could hope to see. Not
a wrinkle could be found in his>tight-
fitting uniform, nor, of course, a ieck
Of dust on gloves, boots and regaIia.
When it came time for him to reply to
the greetings of the Premier he read
his address in an uninteresting, col
orless voice, making a better impress
sion when he used the French tongue
than when he did his own.-Quebec

Some time ago the Virginia State
line was altered so as to include a
patch of territory heretofore belong
ing to North Carolina.
A section of the land thus trans
ferred included a tumble-down cabin,
where dwelt an aged negro woman.
An inquisitive neighbor, calling to
see how the negress enjoyed the idea
of becoming a Virginian in her old
age, began the conversation by ask
ing:

"Bettah, praise the Lawd!" was

Doos Commit Suicide.

Suicide has become epidemic
among Clayton dogs. Chafng under
the restraint of muzzles, many OF
them tore them from their heads and
were in danger OF being shot by the
dog killer. In consequence they had
to be chained.
R. B. Shupard, proprietor of Hotel
Clayton, went fishing recently n
tied a valuable dog in the barn. The
animal whined piteously for more
than an hour, then climbed on some
boxes, threw itself rel a horse man
ger and was hanged. A valuable
hound belonging to Grant Smith was
found this afternoon hanging by the
neck on a paling fence, but was res
cued by a lady in time to save its life.
It jumped I'D on the fence again and
put it's neck between the same palings
and hung there until it was tied up.

Their Dexterity in Use Of Hard Wood
Spear-LandiDg a Catch.
The a~boriginals of the Australian
coastal regions, like most Of the ma
tive South Sea Islanders, are extreme
ly clever fishermen. In the case of
the Australian native tackle is often
confined to a slenderhard wood spear,
grotesquely carved.
Armed with such a weapon, the
"black fellow" will take a perch upon
some convenient rock and gaze stead
lily into the wonderfully transparent
blue water. Intuition and long OBJ
servation seem to supply an almost
uncanny. knowledge as to the habits
and haunts of different fish at stated
times, and it is no uncommon feat
for this type Of fisherman to rise
suddenly to his feet and send his rude
spear hurting through thirty feet Of
space before it enters the water to
pierce clean through the body of a
big %schnapper, a fine mullet or a jew
fish, almost as long a. the fisherman
is tall.
Then the native leaps into the
water and wades or swims ashore,
dragging his prize after him by the
gills.-London Standard.
