Named After Our City

In 1874 an emigrant and family
were passing through this county
in Prairie Schooner westward
bound and when near the town
there was born to the husband and
wife, girl, and when the mother
learned the name of this town, it
sounded 80 euphoneous that she
then and there christened the babe
Extra" and by that name she was
afterward known.
The family settled near Sioux City
the child grew to young woman
hood and in due course of time was
welded to Joseph F. Gross, a popu-
lar grocer of that city, and now
the sequel: "The funeral of Mrs.
Joseph +. Gross, who died Monday
morning at her home10 West 18th
Street will be held Wednesday after
noon at 3 O'Clock at the house."
We are indebted to Miss Dorr for

John Mertes' Residence Burglarized

One night last week during the
absence of the family some rerson
or persons pulled the staple in the
cellar door and entering confiscated
all the "Milwaukee"in in sight; eeve-
raj window shutters were removed
and efforts made to raise the win
dows which proving unavailing the
burglars then went to the south
porch facing the street, took off the
window screen and smashed a large
glass in one sash, then entered the
house and proceeded to open bureau
drawers and other places for con-
cealment of money for which they
were evidently in search aud finally
wound up their search by breaking
the large parlor lamp. Mr.. Mertes
would give nice little reward to
know the names of the burglars.
This is the second time an attempt
has been made to burglarize this
residence; the first time they got
nothing for their pains but their
labor,

Carrie Gault having reached the

mates, teachers and friends. The
orations were both very interesting,
Romance of Missionsn being the
title of Mise Carrie Gault's aud
"Diving for Pearls" being the title
of Miss Mary Powells. They were
both masterpieces and proved the
high character of the work Miss
Carson as Snperinte ndent and Mics
Sutton as Principal with their fell
low workers, have performed in our
schools.
The Class Address was delivered
by DIR. L. F. Loveland and was a
masterp iece of thought, bristling

The music was furnished by the

the girls of the eleventh grade, led
by Miss Bessie Witthauer, and was
highly appreciated and fitted the

word last week from Riverton, Ks.,
of the accidental death of their
grandson, Claude Roberts at that
town, April 29th, while working in

broke In upon him so as to pinion
his body tightly in its embrace

vering his head from his body as
If cleft with a sword. He is sur
vived by married sister and one

Congressman Smith

The meeting Saturday night was
poorly attended; partly on account
of the rain during the afternoon,
but mainly because of the farmer of
now-a-days is doing his own read
ing and thinking of all public ques-
tions that are of record. He reads
of the bills before the law makers,
then looks up the vote of his re-
preventative and if that vote wac
cast against his districts interest,"
if any good reason must be
Forthcoming. So we infer by the
attendance at this meeting that the
Smith votes in Congress were not
in harmony with our farmers inter-
este. -.-

Our Attitude

The Journal intends to be fair and
truthful in all it's statements and
will endeavor not to say word
during the campaign, that cannot
be proven by the records. What
we say about our officials, past,
present or future, shall be from re-
cords an independent point of view
We shall endeavor to cover up no.
thing aud tell the voters just how
things stand, and mark your dol.
lars don't buy our silence.

Eighth Grade Exercises

The class play of the eighth grade
was staged at the Opera House
Thursday evening last to a packed
house. Indeed the house was so
packed full that many who desired
to witness the efforts of the young.
sters in theatrical performance
were disappointed. From those
more favored than ourselves we
learned that all the participants ac-
quilted themselves like old hands
at the business. That such perfor-
nance not only entertains the pa.
rents and friends of the young peo.
pie but that there is no question
but it educates the young to not
frustrate when called on to speak or
act in public.

Autos New Use

The Journal would suggest by
way of experiment that our autoists
would form relays, cay divide the
number of autos by four and get
each auto road drag and drag SO
many miles of roadeach day.
BY doing so we would have long
er stretches of good roads for which
we are all in hearty accord.

1t shows why the Saturday Evening

1t shows why Senator La Toilette

Mr.. Smith "was IN THE THICK OF THE

1t shows why Senator Cummins said

in Washington IN HARMONY WITH THE
INSURGENTS. 1t is immaterial at pre-
sent whether the Insurgents WOULD
OR WOULD NOT vote for or against
Smith or anyone else as a successor to
Cannon. The important question is,
Why has Smith betrayed his constitu-
ents in Washington? And why did he
attempt to deceive them at home? Does
he really think he can be so Jealous a
supporter of Cannonism in Washing
ton and by denial and subterfuge hide
the facts from eyes of his feeble minded
constituents at home? If SO, he errs
twice; for neither are his constituents
feebie-minded nor can he hide 8, the
facts in any such manner. ''ass-s s.r. . W ys
1t is time he understood that his con.
stituents can read the Congressional
Record as understandingly as can the
people of Washington; and lalsol that
they resent being treated as illiterate
and unintelligent. A dark stain Of dis
honor rests upon the plan pursued: by
the Smith organs in the Ninth3 Dis
trict of Iowa this year. .. -=a....
Th first simple qualification Iof lthe
man who represents us in Washington
is that HE BE HONEST WITH HIS PEo-
PIE. If Mr.. Smith defends the Cannon
rules onthe floor of the House, the hon.
est part is to defend them before his
constituents in Iowa. But instead Of
this, every Smith organ in the district
is apparently trying by deception, eva
sion and miserable trickery to lead vo-
tiers into the belief that Smiths record
is EXACTLY THE REVERSE OF WHAT II
Is.
The whole Smith campaign is at
present on most contemplate basis
Above all it shows the highest con.
tempt FOR THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE
VOTERS of the district. 1t needs to be
