Frank E. Howard, editor of the Elma

Frank E. Howard, editor of the Elma
New Era, who delivers the Memorial
Day address next Monday, should be
favored with a large audience. Mr..
Howard has been called upon to deliver
such addresses at various places and
has never failed to please his audiences.
Last year he was the speaker at De-
corah, and the Republican of that city
paid him the compliment of publishing
the address in full "a thing which would
not have been done unless the address
was of unusual merit,
On Monday The Friends in Council
gave handk shower at the
home of Mrs. Kate Reed DAILY for Miss
Sadie Thomson, one of the June brides.
The table decorations were violets and
the candelabra and shades were in
violet colors. The color scheme of
violet and white was carried out in the
elegant supper which was served at
$50 p. m. The favors for the guests
were nut cases daintily painted with
vlolets and the initials of the guests in
gilt. The place of the bride-elect was
marked by an immense bouquet of
violets and the handkerchiefs daintily
arranged as shower. After an hour
of social conversation and music the
guests departed.
Fred Burr has become the proprietor
in fact as well as in name of the Cen
tral House, having this week purchased
the hotel property, with frontage of
ITO feet, for $4,000, from w. G. Huse
OF Mason City, ILL.,, MIR. G. W. Childs,
real estate man of that place, coming
up this week and closing the deal. The
building alone alone cost more to erect
than the price paid by Mr.. Burr, and
when the location and value of the lots
are taken into consideration, the bar
gain secured by Mr.. Burr is readily
apparent. Mr.. and Mrs. Burr have
made success of the Central House in
the past, and with them in actual pro-
prietorship of the building, we may
look for improvements and continued
success.

Wrestling Talk.

The Decorah journal of this week
contains what purports to be a challenge
to PEGGY from Jahns of Spring Valley,
the man with whom PEGGY was
wrestling last fall when his arm was
injured. The Journal says Jahns will
wrestle best 2 in OF in S for $3.50 to
$500 aside. 1t also states that Jahns
weighs about 2O5 pounds and has been
wrestling eight years.
Pecoy has sent a reply to this offer
ing to wrestle best lin 3 for 60 and
40 per cent. division of gate receipts,
but thinks it is asking too much of him
to demand side bet to wrestle man
OF eight years experience and weighing
30 pounds or SO more than he does.
Pecoy's first public appearance as a
wrestler was but little over two
years ago, and since that time has had
only about twenty matches, yet the
game sports in neighboring towns term
him professional and ask odds of him
which he should not give.
PEGGY still stands by his offer to
throw Bucknell five times and Herd
man ten times in an hour. Herdman
wrestled Jahns at Preston last evening,
and if he is good enough to wrestle the
imam who has never lost except to
Gotch" he ought to accept Pecoy's ten
times an hour challenge. Or Bucknell
might try PEGGY, as in a recent match
with Jahns he took the second fall in a
three in five match.

Weather-Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, May %, 1907
With warm weather during the week
and the absence of rain over the larger
part of the state, corn planting has
been vigorously pushed. The average
temperature was slightly above in
western and slightly below the normal
in the eastern counties and the rain
fall was decidedly below the seasonable
average except in the extreme west
ern districts where moderate to heavy
local showers occurred on the 18th and
18th. About rs per cent of the corn
has been planted and some of the early
planting is up in all parts of the state
and shows good stand. Cultivation
has begun in few localities in south
ern counties and the fields are general
ly reported as being in good condition.
The rains of last week, where not ex-
cessiye, were very beneficial to past
ures, meadows, small grain and pota-
toes. Vegetation made rapid growth
and the prospects are very promising
for all crops, including fruit. The
week closes with Indications of showers
over the larger part of the state.

this being their only stopping place
on their journey from the Pacific.
Although the time was short the
party succeeded in visiting all of the
places of greatest interest. After
taking a view of the Capitol and the
Governors mansion, they proceeded
to the church of San Miguel, which
vas already open for an early Good
Friday service. The Ambassador
showed much interest in this ancient
structure and in the "Old House" ad-
joining and the party then proceeded
tc the Cathedral where not only the
modern edifice but the older building
in the rear including the tomb of De
Vargas and the stone reredos erected
by Governor Del Vale more than a
century and half ago, were visited.
From here drive was taken up Pal
ace Avenue and afterward to the old
military quarter and the Federal
building, with view of the Kit Car

Thus the time until the departure
of the train was fully occupied, and
the distinguished visitors expressed
great qualification at their visit to
Santa Fe and the number of inter-
esting objects brought to their atten-
ticn. AS above stated, this is the only
city stopped at on the entire journey

his particular desire to visit Santa
Fe, when Governor Prince visited
