AN IOWA AUCTION.
TOttumwa Review.


Billy Knox ana Frank kreigh We're in
the attendance al a public sale held
yes .erday by Jesse Ramey near Old
Ashland. and the Review has received
a report Of the remarkable prices
paid by the bidders for crops and live
stock.
There was considerable acreage of
corn put on the auction block and
bidding was keen from the start. The
prices finally reached s22 per acre, two
tracts. however, going at SIS and SIS.
And the yield is not above the aver
age, many fields showing promise Of
more in the county. It is estimated
that the corn on this farm will not
make to exceed forty-fve bushels to
the acre. and the s22 paid for forty
five bushels with the crop yet to be
harvested looks very much like rec
ord for the Wapello county farmer.
Hogs brought i fancy price, II and
13 cents per pound for the spring stock.
1t was quite evident the way the bids
scared that hogs and corn are going to
be pretty expensive products this year
and for several months to come. What
the 800 land would do if the corn and
nog prices droppe,i say 10 &c cents per
bushel for the former and, cents per
pound for the latter, is hard to figure.
Land prices are high and the products
are therefore at the top notch, say the
farmer. Well, drop in products value
would cut the high land in two in
short order. 1t works both ways.
Some heavy draft spring colts sold
as high at SIP 30, the range running
from s75 upward Of course this is a
fancy price but the young horses were
good stock and farmers realize the
worth of such breeding in the work or
the farm.

A Railroad Manager. Career.

Many Poweshiek county people read
with interest of the death OF James
Z. Hurley, the much loved gem
eral manager of the Santa Fe roadl
who died SUDDENLY in Carlsbad a short,
time ago, but to E. Shadbolt Of Grim
nell. the news came with the shock OF
Ia personal loss. Years ago. in 1877,
when Mr.. Shadbolt was farming in
Madison township, Mr.. Hurley worked
several months for him and a friend
ship was begun at that time which has
continued ever since. Hurley was
merely a boy living in Drakeville, Wa
pello county The family needed
money. so the boy came to Iowa to
look for work. selling his watch in
order to secure money for the journey.
He came to me in the midle O fthe
haying season." said Mr.. Shadbolt and
as my own man was not well, l took
him on. l was never sorry I did it.
He was a smart fellow and tho he
had had no experience in farm work
he learned fast and made good hand.
/ paid him more than he was worth
to start but he soon earned all his
salary. He stayed with me from
July IS until December, when had to
let him go"
Mr.. Shadbolt heard from Hurley the
man asked him for reference, which
he gladly gave. Then came word Of
Hurley's rapid rise in the railroad
world. AT the time Of the st. Louis
fair, Hurley's private car was mixed
UP in an accident and Mr.. Shadbolt
wrote Hurley a letter. to which he re-
ceived a prompt and pleasant repiH,
That was the last communication be-
tween the two until the news came
of Hurleys sudden death while abroad.
Hurleys rise in the railroad world
was meteoric. and was brought about
by the same qualities which he dis
played in his work on Mr.. Shadbolt's
farm. He was the idol Of the men
under him and the news of his death
has been received with great regret BIZ
all who knew him and this is espec-\
tally true of the man who saw HIS
start and mas watched his career with
friendly interest.

left to depend upon circumstances. so
far as the contest for the control OF
the party is concerned, Colonel Roose-
Welt himself embodies the issue Tie
was rejected by the state committee
because he ventured. in defiance OF
Messrs Barnes and Woodruff, to ally
himself with Governor Hughes in sup
port of direct primaries and because
his sympathy with the progressive
movement was we'll known. His re-
lection was deliberate affront to the
best sentiment of the party. The final
choice of Colonel Roosevelt as tempo
rary chairman of the state convention
will mark the end of the old regime,
the power of the petty bosses who
make up the "old guard" will be broK-
en- and the control of the party will
pass over to the progressive element
which has supported Governor Hughes
and which will carry forward his pol
icies.
The conference also agreed in favor
of direct nominations. The adoption of
this reform is clearly called for as the
first step in the progressive movement.
After the recent revelations of the in
difference Of irresponsible political
managers to the interests of the party
and of their readiness to sacrifice
everything else to their own selfish
purposes the people of the state will
insist upon taking the management of
party affairs into their own hands.

lies are the exhibits in the case for

COMPELLING CITIZENS TO VOTE.
TCefiar Rapids Gazette.l

OSUaT 1tLSllS.I
One man suggests that there ought to
be way to compel people to vote; that
some penalty should be inflicted upon
the citizen who fails to cast ballot
and can give no good excuse for his
dereliction.
But wouldn't that be abridging the
sacred rights of the freeborn American
citizen-the one man of all nations who
comes the nearest to doing as ne
darned pleases ali the time?
If there were an attempt TO enforce
a voting rule, wouldn't there be some
merry howlingo Guess yes. Most peo-
pie regard it a sacred privilege to be
allowed to vote if they please, or to re-
fra;n from voting if they desire. The
erican citizen is very jealous of his
rignts-and of what he thinks are his
rights.
But there ought to be more gen.
eral interest in elections. Too many
people who call themselves good citi-
zens-who would become very much
incensed if they were denominated
ANYTHING but good citizens-do not go
10 the polls when important questions
are up for consideration They per-
nit elections to go by default. AT the
same time some fellow. who has beeH
given drinks or a cash donation, or mas
some mercenary motive. may be leg
ging it to the polls and voting directiy
against the interests of the aforesaid
good citizen.
And that's one reason-and one OF the
principal reasons, at that-why govern
rnent is not a greater success
The people ought to vote. 1heE
should be so deeply interested In every
election that it would be no erouole 10

"The cry for union is in the religious
air. says the Jewish outlook. but why
shout it aloud from the housetops when
no effort is made to realize it, why
cry union when there is none and
seemingly can not be any? Reform and
orthodox Jews can no more unite in
common worship than the myriad sects
of christianity can or will unite. Every
now and again, Jew or Jewess will
come forward with the plea, but it is
never attempted or put into any prac-
teal reform. 1t would never pay. The
time is even not yet ripe for the mix
ture Of Jews of the various national
tiles, their children will coalesce in
Americanism. We must leave it to this
leavening force to do the work.
Some Episcopalians of New York have
organized a christian unity foundation
to unite all christian sects. We wish
it luck, but it will never get there.
You can not mix oil and water. and as
long as the world will last people in
the same communion will think diff

talk about, but unrealizable What we
can do however. is to think more
about our agreements than our diff
