CORN FIELDS UNDER WATER.
Heavy Loss Will Follow Floods
Southwestern Iowa.

Atlantic. Nov. 1S--The recent un-
usually heavy rains for this season OF
the year in the Nishnabotna valley
have caused that turbulent stream to
leave it's banks and now the entire
lowlands are under water. This has
caused considerable damage ito corn
and in many instances the loss is al
most complete While much of the low
lands is in meadow and pasture. con-
siderable of it was corn land and in
most instances the water came without
a warning and caught the fields I'M
picked.
AS the water recedes the stalks and
ears are covered completely with ice
and unless big thaw takes place this
corn can not be picked this winter.
The lowlands to the north and wes'
of the. city have been completely sub
merged for three days and the water
i receded slowly.

HOG CHOLERA is EPIDEMIC.
Heavy Losses in Herds Of Clinton
County Farmer.

Clinton. Nov. ls.-An epidemic u
hog cholera has attacked swine herds
on many Clinton county farms, and the
stock raisers are much alarmed.
The heaviest losses have occurred in
the vicinity of Folletts, where many
hogs have died from what at first was
an ineNplicable cause Lately it has
been found that ;he cause of death
among the stock is cholera of a viru-
lent form. The tendency of the hogs To
turn purple after DEATH made known
the real nature of the malady among
the herds of swine in Folletts and in
that vicinity. Among the heaviest los
ers are Bruce Hamilton. William Mil
ler and Gus Johnson who lost their
entire herds. Heroic efforts are being
made to resist the ravaseS of the dit
sease among the herds in the vicinity
of FollettS. and other parts of east
Clinton county.

Rev. Fred Staff, Pastor of the First
Congregational Church in this city,
without solicitation, received aunami-
nous call to the pastorate of the
Second Congregational Church in
Beloit. The question now arises be-
fore the congregation and member
ship of the Congrega tional church
society in this city, whether we can
afford as a church society or cemmun-
ity to allow him to leave US? A man
of his talent and progressive ability
would be greatly missed in this COM
munity where he is doing such excel
lent work, accomplishing great good,
and is so popular. Can we afford to
lose him? We say no! Perhaps we
are little selfish in this statement in
not Considering Mr.. Slaff's welfare,
as the city of Beloit is larger than
Grand Rapids, has college of wide
reputation aud his field would be
wider and greater, the emoluments
probably greater Rev. Staff was an
alumnus of Beloit College and still has
considerable acquaintance there. We
can see how this call is tempting one
from the further fact that they have
a new $4,000 church with all the con-
yeniences for doing just the kind Of
work Mr.. Staff would like to do here.
1t was the intention to build a new
church In this city this past year, but
for good reasons, it was postponed
until 1910. The site is already Sc
cured and new edifce will be erected
next spring. The membership and
congregation and a large number of
our citizens have expressed in an in
formal way a cordial invitation to
Rev. Staff to remain in Grand Rapids
and they would do everything within
their power to aid him in future work
if he would continue his excellent SER
vice in Grand Rapids and not accept
the call to Beloit We sincerely hope
that he will stay with US where his
personality, family and services are as
fully appreciated as they could posi-
bly, be anywhere else. Mr.. Staff is
universally liked in Grand Rapids.

The Most Remarkable
Guarantee Ever Made
on a Heating Stove

We have received a letter from tbe
President Ct the Cole Manufacturing
Company which specifically states thai
they can guarantee Coles Original Hot
Blast Stove to save third in fuel over
any lower draft stove of the same size
with soft coal, slack or Ignite; it is guar
anteed to hold fire from SATURDAY. NIGHT
until Monday morning; guaranteed to
have snoke-proof feed door; euaran-
teed to remain air-tigLt as long as used;
guaranteed to give uniform heat day
and night with soft coal, hard coal or
Ignite; guaranteed to use less hard coal
for heating given space than any base
burner with the same size fire pot, and
guaranteed to heat the rooms from one
to three hours in the morning with the
fuel put in the day before (which does
away With kindling or rebuilding the
fire each morning).
This guarantee comes with Coles Hot
Blast, which can be bought only from us.
When you analyze this guarantee and
see how they state in black and white
just what it will do in comparison with
other soft coal stoves. and even with
hard coal base burners, it is safe to saw
that the majority of stoves bought this
season for heating purposes will be the
famous Coles Hot Blast, for which we
are the exclusive selling agents for this
town We have these stoves on our
floor and will be pleased to show them
to every one interested. Come soon.

GRAND RAPIDS WINS
EASY VICTORY

On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10th
a foot ball game occurred between
Grand Rapids and Waupaca, at Wau
paca, and it is reported that the loca
team walked over the Waupaca boys
with such ease and gracefulness tina,
the game could hardly be called inter.
esting.
When Grand Rapids kicked off at
the beginning of the first half, the
opposites advanced it with such dex-
terity that it looked for a while as
the boys from home would have to
work some to keep up the pace. Their
promising beginning, however, was
soon checked and during the remain
der of the game Grand Rapids super
iority asserted itself. Some of the
most distinguished incidents of the
first half were; Dan Arpin's twenty
five yard run for touch down, a few
effective tackle smashes by Berg and
Arpin. some startling center rushes
by Lager Smith. in addition to another
interesting run made by Grimm Nat
wick, who slapped the pig skin over
the chalk line for touch down number
two. Before time was called for the
first, the ball was again carried with
in yard of the Waupaca goal.
The second half started will. a kick
off by Waupaca, which was caught by
Buff Natwick and carried fifteen yards
this being followed soon after by a
spectacular fifty yard run for touch
down made by Frank Shredder.
Another touch down was made
by Grimm Natwick and Buff kicked
goal for the fourth time, making
the final score "a 90.
The team is we'll satisfied with their
days work and are sorry that they
made Waupaca look so insignificant
The boys say their toward passes
worked to perfection, much to the
astonishment of the opponents, who
were evidently not accustomed tC
such brilliant style of handling the
oval.

A NARROW ESCAPE

On Saturday afternoon Kirk Kinis-
ter had very narrow escape from
fatal injury. While riding with his
brother on the Johnson 81 Hill deliv-
cry wagon, he slipped from the seat
and fell down between the front
wheels and the hoofs Of the horses.
The animals were stopped just in
time to keep the wheel from passing
over the boys head, He did not
realize until evening that any injury
was done, but when taken to DR..
Hougen, Kirk was found to be in
possession Of a broken collar bone.

Another important provision is
that at the end of each year the
council shall cause a full and COM
plete examination of all of the hooks
and accounts of the city to be made
by competent public accountants,
copies of such report to be furnished
to al the newspapers and to all per-
sons who shall apply for them.
Such in brief is the commission
plan. Wherever a plan of this kind
has been adopted, it has been sue
cessful. Thursday evenings Record
Herald contained an interesting ad-
dress by Mayor Rice, of Houston
Texas, explaining it's success in that
city. One great merit is that the
mayor and councilmen represent the
city at large, instead of separate di-
visions, and therefore their vision
will extend over the city as whole
and will not be confined to the
boundaries of the ward in which
they live.
The commission plan will abso-
lutely do away with all partisan pol
itic in city affairs. There will be
no striving to make a record" by
keeping taxes down and neglecting
the best interests of the city. City
employees will be chosen for their
ability and not for their political
pull. They will perform the services
required of them, or lose their jobs,
as no party bosses can hold them in
office because of their activity in
ward politics.
If the non-partisan method of
electing city officers, to be tried
next year, does not turn out as we'll
as expected, the city can give the
commission plan six years trial.
Surely conditions under it cannot be

THE COM MISSION Plan.

The Wausau Record-Herald has an
excellent article on the Commission
Plan of governing cities under a new
law passed last winter that we favor
and endorse and therefore re-publish
the same DOR our readers to consid-
er and discuss, as follows:
There is much to be said in favor
of the commission form of govern
ment for cities. Chapter 44S, laws
of 1909, provides that any city of
the second, third or fourth class,
may, by proper procedure, which in
cludes a majority vote of the people
in its favor, do away with the pres
ent system of city officials, and elect
a mayor and two counciImen, whom
shall have exclusive control of all
city matters, except the public
schools. These three men are to re-
ceiye salaries in cities the size of
Wausau, $500 for the mayor and
$4,000 each for the councilmen, and
shall give their whole time to the
work. The term of the mayor is six
years and of the councilmen four
years, one to be elected every two
years, and they need not be, at the
time of their election, residents of
the city.
These three men elect all the other
city officers and fix their salaries.
