Corn and Money

The Iowa corn crop is cun-
ing on all right. The prospect
is for a better yield than last
year. Iowa bankers saw that
the money question is all right.
They report that there will be
currency enough to cake care
of the crops when selling time
comes. The bankers have been
wise during the past few
months. They have been re-
fusing many loans contenting
themselves to taking care Of
their old customers. They
have refused to loan money for
speculative purposes. Hence
the bank showing is as good as
that of corn showing. Take it
up one side and down the other,
old Iowa is all right. Best of
all there is an encouraging in
dication that the politicians are
going to take a vacation. -

insure a victory for the patri4

OTIS.
Any democrat who voted for
Lorimer for patriotic" reasons
ought to be retired to private
life and kept there long enough
to learn what patriotism means.
The democratswho assembled at
Lincoln were right in refusing
to draw a line between those
who voted for Lorimer for pay
and those ;who voted for him
because they lacked sense. 1t
is almost as dangerous to have
a fool in the legislature as a
knave. A democratic legislator
who could be convinced that he
was performing a patriotic duty
in voting for Lorimer could be
persuaded to do any thing desi-
red by the lobby, provided the
same patriotic arguments were
used. He is not fit for any rep
resentative position it is hard
w safe to allow him to run at
large.
The Lorimer senatorial cleo
tion seems, from Developments
to have been the most corrupt
in the history of the nation;
that a majority of the demo
Gratis shouldhave voted for such
a man, under such circumstan.
ces, is in itself conclusive proof
of widespread corruption. If
There were democrats who did
not actually receive money they
could not have been ignorant of
the means being employed.
Turn them out! The party
cannot pause to defend those
who are guilty or who, if inno-
cent, have aroused a suspicion
which can never be removed.

A very sad event occurred
last Sabbath. Mr.. G. S. Ross,

employ of Edgecomb & Deur
in their mill, left his home at
about 9::3O a. M, to walk out to
look at ;: I'D Of oats which he
though was about ready to
harvest. As he did not return,
after delay and anxiety a dill
gent search was made but with
out success. On Monday about
Z a. M, his body was found by
a neighbor, only about a quar-
ter of a mile from the Ross
home. Heart failure is said to
have been the cause of death,
and most probably it took place
soon after he left home.
Mrs. Ross having learned
that | was in Scion Springs,
asked me to conduct the SER
vice which | did. 1t took place
TODAY in the village church.
MIR. Ross was highly esteemed
here by all who knew him.
He was in his 5Sth year and in
apparent good health on the
morning he left his home.
There is much sympathy felt
for the bereaved family.

Let those who feel a little
disappointed over the rain fall
on this the first day of our Cha
tauqua, remember that Rarri-
Ison county never needed rain
more badly than just now. The
success of the growing crop de-
ponds so largely upon the rain
fall that it is impossible to have
a good crop yield without the
rain, and that to, at the right
time. Science may have sue
ceeded in inventing a "fireless
COOKER" but no science can hope
to invent a way to raise a good
crop even on rich Iowa soil with
out the accustomed rain fall,
and while we may feel sorry to
have it come just on this partic-
u|ar dav, we must not forget
that it is "better now than new
err" Time enough yet to hold
the Chautauqua, but we had
just about reached the limit of
|dry weather.

The long hoped for rain came
this morning, commencing to
fall about a O'clock a. M, and
continuing for some hours not
hard, but very gently. so as to
be taken up by the parched
earth. That it came a little
too late for the general crop is
true, yet it will help potatoes
and late corn and pastures, and
may help small fruit. We are
very thankful for the rain, and
aIthough it may keep some few
from The Chautauqua, yet we
hope not many.

Just what object or purpose
the Chronicle may have in is
intermittent bursts of booze
rabble, such as have appeared
the past two weeks, we do not
know. And, further, we DO
not care.
But whatever its motive,
this paper resents the implied
meaning in the statement last
week that the booze business
in Woodbine the Juggling bust
nests looking up. There
isn't a word Of truth i'm it.
The Twiner has investigated
and has the information direct
that not half the booze business
is done now aid the past year,
that has been done in prior
years locally.
In individual instances there
may be an increase, and the
Chronicle may know cock sure
along this line what it is talk
ing about, but as a general
proposition it IS absolutely not
true, and it is holding the town
up in a false light and doing
it an injustice when such inn
pressions are given out. Wood
