 ''These two kinds of money, guineas and pounds, show up in many curious ways. All professional men are paid in guineas.

But you pay the teachers in your school in pounds sterling, for they're supposed to be working for pay. not for love.

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. II. The
fore part of the week was warm and
generally cloudy with showers over the
larger part of the state, but Friday
and Saturday were unseasonably cool.
Light frost occurred on low ground in
all sections on the morning of the 10th,
but no damage was done to corn al
though the temperature was below the
freezing:point in many places. Corn
has made fair progress toward maturi-
ty and probably a third Of the crop
would not be seriously injured by a
heavy frost. More than the normal
amount of corn will be harvested for
fodder and silage and seed corn will be
selected earlier than usual. Flowing
is progressing and the seeding of fall
grain has begun in southern counties.
Potatoes have improved since the late
rains and pastures are generally in
good condition. The latest thrashing
returns give promise of total yield Of
10, 600, 900 bushels of oats.

Maine Democratic.

The election in Maine this week was
a surprise to both parties. While the
indications favored the election of the
democratic candidate for governor, no
one expected it by SO large a majority,
nearly 5000, and that the state legis-
lature would go democratic, which
insures the election of a democrat as
U. S. Senator to succeed Hale. The
democrats also won in two of the four
congressional districts.
The reasons assigned for the revers-
al of Names rock.ribbed republican
ism is attributed to various causes.
The extravaganza Of the republican
state administration was the local
issue in Maine, tut lack of faith in the
sincerity of the republican party and
the breach of faith in tariff reform
legislation by the administration was a
biglcontributing factor and presages a
long line of democratic victories. The
people are tur ing for relief toward
the party which is not owned by the
trusts and big interests which domi-
nate the republican party and its legis-
latiOn.

Fatal Automobile Accident.

A fatal automobile accident occurred
late yesterday afternoon about five
miles southeast of Cresco, on the Cres-
CO. -Ridgeway road. Two related fami-
lies, the men named Chas. MARBLE and
John Yost, farmers residing few
miles from Albert Lea, Minn., with
their wives and three children. were
enroute for visit with relatives at
McGregor, Iowa. While going down
hill near Mr.. Beucher's the driver
Yost, endeavored to put on the brake.
but it is thought that he became con-
fused and opened the throttle that put
on more speed. The car commenced to
run from side to side of the road and
the sharp turns made to keep the ma
chine in the road must have turned it
into ditch. The occupants of the car
state that the machine turned COM
pletely over and then rolled sideways.
All the occupants were thrown out ex-
cept the two men, who were pinned
under the car. Yost was killed, but
spoke three times to Marble, asking
him to lift the car off.
Aid was summoned and the body of
the dead man was brought to Cresco
by Mr.. Meverden and the other men,
bers of the party were also brought
in.
The injured man, Marple, is at the
Central House and it is not known
whether or not he will be able to re-
turn with the others when they leave
to-day.
The car, a new "E. M. F., was but
slightly damaged and was run back to
Cresco by its own power.
