1888 FOR LOAD OF SEED.
ClOverdale, Ia, Farmer Gets Record
Price For Single Load of
Timothy Seed.

Cloverdale. Ia, Dec. 1S.-Possibly
the most valuable load of grain or
seed ever hauled in Iowa was that
of E. L. Harding, when he sold to
the elevator company here one team
load of timothy seed, for which he re-
ceived a check for $1,653.13. That
is not all. Mr.. Harding sold fourteen
loads of barley for $1,4S8.20. He
had one hundred acres of timothy
which netted him $4,000 aside from
fifty tons of hay and pasturage. And
still there is more to tell. Mr.. Hard
ing is not the owner of the farm,
but is tenant and pays his rent and
he says, and his word is as good as a
government bond, that during the
past ten years his rented place has
Melted him $4,000. And he has
the goods" to show for it. Mr.. Hard
ing thought that there would be in
credulous people, so that he sad his
load of timothy photographed, to-
gether with the check and affidavit.

TRAGEDY AT NEW HARTFORD.

Drowned.

New Hartford, Ia, Dec. 16.-This
city is in mourning over double
drowning. The victims were Faith
the Z year old daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. H. A. Essex and Esther, the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hans
Nelson.
When the little girls were dis
missed from the primary department
of the public SCHOOLS Wednesday af-
ternoon at $3.50, they were seen alive
for the last time. When they did
not return home the parents became
anxious, and search was instituted
Among the searchers was Rev. Essex,
whose path led him to the bank OF
a deep bayou north of the school
house. Here he observed that the ice
had been broken several feet dis
tant from the bank, and taking ii
for granted that his daughter and
her companion had been drowned,
plunged into the water, dived to the
bottom, bringing up with him body
that of his little daughter. The icy
water so benumbed the preacher that
he was not able to get to the shore,
and holding the limp form of the
drowned girl in one arm and hang
ing to the edge of the ice with the
other hand, he was rescued from
death by others of the searching
party. The body of the little Nelson
girl was found a half hour later in
the same spot, where the water was
eight feet deep.

within, when lie YVES struck twice on
the back of the head with some hard
instrument. The cashier remained
stunned for minute, but when he
recovered the roober had made his
escape. The fellow after creeping up
and smuggling the cashier had become
frightened and ran toward the rail-
road track without stopping to gath

he turned north, running between
the rails, striking across the fields

Growing More Popular.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 6.-"The
report of the internal revenue COM
missioner for the last fiscal year
shows that the consumption of malt
beverages was 5000 gallons per
capita as against 1877 gallons per
capita for the fiscal year proceeding.
An increase of 1.02 gallons. The
consumption of whiskey for the last
fiscal year was Las gallons as
against 1.J2 gallons the year pre-
vious, an increase of Oh gallons
per capita.
Reduced to percentage the report
is startling. The increase in the use
of malt liquor was only 5.34 per
cent, while the increase in ardent
spirits was 9.02 per cent. Why this
increase in the alcoholic drink
This is the question that students are
asking, and the conclusion they
have reached is that ii Is because SO
much whiskey is being shipped into
dry" territories. Where regulation
is being enforced beer is the common
beverage, but where prohibition pre-
walls beer is not easily obtainable
and the people buy whiskey because
1T isn't so bulky and easier obtain
able. More territory is dry now
than ever, and statistics show that
as the dry territory increases the
percentage of whiskey sales increase
accordingly"
