The tomato crop in this section is al
most total failure, many vines turning
yellow and dying. No new fruit is COM
ing on the vines, which have borne but
very few up to date. Some gardeners
claim that the English sparrows destroy
the blooms. The fruit already borne has
been faulty and the larger portion of it
has rotted.
The chautauqua committee is at work
among the citizens endeavoring to raise
the money to meet the shortage of the
season just closed, and they are meet
ing with a ready response. Some con-
tributors do not wait for the committee
to call on them, but deposit the contri-
button in the bank in advance. It is
pointed out that the committee gave their
services as agents Of the people without
hope Of reward, and 1t would not be right
to have them pay the deficit, which
amounts to about $3.50.
There Is general disposition to clean
up both among the people and with the
municipality. Weeds are being cut down
along the sidewalks, and the sanitary
officer Is distributing warnings to those
who have nuisances on their premises,
and notices to sundry citizens to connect
with the sanitary sewer. There is no
sickness of any consequence in the city

The Secret Service.

Despite the recommendations oil
President Roosevelt in his last annual
message to congress and his earnest
urging in special message later, the
sundry civil appropriation bill, which
was reported from committee to the
house Tuesday, contained the same
clause limiting the activities of the
secret service 10 the investigation OF
counterfeiting and the protection oil
the person CT the president.
This is the limitation that caused a
breach between the executive and
congress early in the present session
The presence Of the limitation in the
bill is taken TO mean that congress
has justified its action through the
testimony of the executive officers OF
the government, who declared that
the investigation of fraud was not
hampered by the limitation Of the Sc
cret service
The bill, however. contains a clause
granting to the secretary of the inter
ior 81 900 900 for the detection and
prevention Of fraud on the public do
main. The appropriation last year
was $500 600 and the year before
$3.50. 900. Secretary Garfield urged that
II be increased to S1,000000 this year
that the great mass of land fraud
cases now on hand can be prosecut
ed to their conclusion. This work is
to be done by agents under the d.
rection of the secretary of the inter

We wonder if there were any United
States senator's or congressman in River
dale last Friday night. Probably there
were because secret service man was
in town most of the evening. DR.. Gard
ner saw him near his barn, and it is re-
ported that others saw him as he took
part in several hide and seek games on
the street that evening. From all we
can gather 1t appears as If President
Roosevelt must have been trying to I'M
earth some land or water fraud here as
a fitting climax to his strenuous career.
However, the truth is, it was only
our wide awake Undersheriff, o. L..
Convis. There were big doings in town
that night and when there are doings in
town it sometimes happens that little
fire. water gets loose. 1t was pretty quiet
that evening and everything went off in
good or der. Mr.. Convis set a good ex-
ample by minding his own business and
everyone followed suit. 1t is only fair
to Mr.. Convis to say that he is only
striving to obtain observance of the
law. There is "a small element here
who are inclined to disregard law at
times They are fooling with the
wrong man in Mr.. Convis, however, for
he won't be bluffed. The best thing
for these same people is to get in line
with the business men and other citizens
and try and builu ~ instead of pull
ing down.
