 O NE morning as he topped the

Held to the Grand Jury.

Cordie Bowers was arraigned before
Justice Lloyd Barker on Tuesday after
noon and at the preliminary hearing,
the witnesses all testified to practically
the same facts regarding the shooting
as given in our last issue. At the
close of the testimony, Bowers was
held to the grand jury under bonds of
81, 600 under charge of assault with
intent to commit murder, in default Of
which he is still confined in the county

An operation was performed upon
johnson on Tuesday and part of the

found that the bullet had shattered the

were pressing upon the brain, and con-

bone and relieving the pressure.
While the operation was partially sue
cessful second operation of a similar
nat:re will probably be made to day.

and has high temperature. His arm
is completely paralyzed to the shoulder,

Are Coming Back.

There is no question but that Iowa is
coming rapidly into possession of her
own. On nearly every train that runs
through the northern section of the
state, immigrants are returning.
Fifteen years ago the flow was to-
ward the Dakotas and Montana, six
years ago it was toward Canada, now
the cry is back to Iowa. And they are
coming. Emmet county is only a fair
illustration of dozen different coun-
ties around here. During the past
three weeks eighty-three families
which had moved out of that county
and had sought new homes IN the west
or northwest, have returned. In some
cases they had sold their farms and
come back farmless but willing to try
it all over again knowing that in Iowa
we can Win."
OF this number leaving Emmet coun-
ty not one returned as well off as when
they left. = Waterloo Times Tribune.

OBITUARY.
KINNEY.

Died in Sioux City. Iowa, Wednes-
day. June 81, 1911, John Thomas Kin
ney, aged 46 years, 3 months and 8
day.
Mr.. Kinney was born at Cresco, Iowa,
March 13, 1865, and grew to manhood
there. There he met and was united
in marriage to Agnes Daugherty on
November q, 1890. Two years later
they came to Wayne kcounty and set
tied on the farm where the family
lived at the time of his death. To
this union was born ten children, JOS
eph 20, Marie Is, Leona l6, Lens IL,
Edmond IL, Charles 10, Diamond 8,
Charles 6, Agnes 4 and John 2, all of
whom are living.
The life Of MIR. Kinney was useful
one. With large family and being
one of our most thrifty farmers kept
him ever at work. The sick and afflict-
ed were never without true sympathy
at his hands. He was an active men,
Der of the St. Frances Catholic church
Of this city, and always lived true to
his faith. To visit the sick and aff1ic
ted, to extend the hand of sympathy
to the bereaved, to encourage the
weakening character, and to spread
good cheer wherever present seemed to
be his greatest mission here OH earth.
Not only has the kind wife and dear
children suffered an irrepariable loss,
but this community likewise loses a
good liberal minded and christian citi-
zen.
The funeral was held from the st.
Frances Catholic church Friday morn
ing ut 10 o'clock, Rev. Peter Grobbel
officiating. and the remains laid to rest
in the cemetery mile north of the
church.
The funeral of Mr.. Kinney at Ran
doiph was one of the largest ever held
in this section. Randolph (Neb.) Pa

The Chautauqua.

The lecture star of the course was
Ex-Gov. Folk who spoke on Monday
night to one of the largest audiences
of the week on "The Era of Con-
science.' AS Mr.. Folk is no theorizer
but man who has helped to arouse
the public conscience by prosecuting
and Furnishing law breakers and graft
ers, his address was filled with personal
allIsions which showed him to be 1.
true and aggressive fighter for civic
righteousness in city, state and nation.
The trend of his address was contained
in his tersely stated truth that ut
would be better for the people of this
country if they could have more of the
golden rule and less of the rule of
gold" As Mr.. Folk is rather more
than presidential possibility, his ad
dress gained added interest from the
fact.
The lecture of DR.. Cell. the explorer,
on Monday afteanoon, many think to
be one of the best lectures of the
course.
Tuesday was band day, and while
Thaviu is a great tdirector and has a
fine band-one that gave excellent sat
isfaction--still we think it is not equal
to the Kryl band of last years Chau-
tauqua. The singers accompanying
the bard were all good, but the tenor
made the hit of the evening.
Garetta and his pets on Wednesday
pleased all. His trained cockatoos
were really wonderful.
The Pugh- Riner Co, who gave the
entertainment yesterday afternoon,
were the entertainment hit of the
whole course.
The superintendent of the course is
endeavoring to secure guarantee
from 80 or 40 of the business men for
the return of the Chautauqua in 1912
and on Thursday afternoon had secured
nearly the number required.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

| 1.
Excessively high temperature and
bright sunshine prevailed during the
first half of the week. the heated pc
riod eliminating in maximum tempera-
lures considerably above 100 degrees;
the highest temperature beeing Ill de-
grees in the southeastern counties.
While showers occurred over the larg-
er part of the state on the night of
the 5th, the drouth remains practically
unbroken. The showers afforded tenn
porary relief in narrow belts and spots,
covering probably three -fourths of the
state, and few localities reported
rainfall sufficient for present needs,
but over the bulk of the state the
amount was too light to give material
benefit. Most of the corr is still hold
ing its own remarkably well, but some
of the earliest planted, especially in
the southern counties. has been Sc
riously injured and if rain does not
not come soon the crop in those sec
tions will be light. Thrashing has
begun and early reports indicate
good quality and fairly good yield of
winter wheat. The yield of oats varies
from Is to 35 bushels. The hay crop
will average between one-half and
three fourths ton per acre. Pastures
afford but little feed, and in many To-
calities hay is being fed to stock. Po-
tatoes and garden truck show serious
damage. Wells are failing and water
for stock is getting scarce.

An Unguarded Truth.

The Des Moines Tribune, Republican.
inadvertently let fall an important ad-
mission in discussion of the value of
the rain that broke the heated SPELL
1t was this:
Corn has sold in Iowa at 10 cents,
oats at 8 and eggs at 6, with other
prices in proportion when our farm
tariffs were just as high as they are
now. -
That statement being true, of what
benefit is socalled protection on farm
products to the farmer? Not the tar.
ifs, but supply and demand have de-
termind the prices of farm products in
the market Yet Iowa has gone Re-
publican year after year, farmer vot-
ers deluded into the belief that duties
on earm products increased their profits
Treading on other corns, what value
will result from the removal of these
duties? Will it serve to cheaper the
cost of living? The Tribune ought to
explain.
The value Democrats see i'll removal
of the tariffs on food products is that
it will open the way to removal of the
tariffs on other products, for when the
farmer has has been deprived of his
fancied protection he will be quick to
insist that the other fellow shall be de-
prived of his protection. Reciprocity
will make breech in the wall of pro-
lection that evidently will result in the
certain destruction of the whole wall.
Moreover, reciprocity will put every
food producing state in the Democratic
column. --Telegraph- Herald.

Groom rs. Bride 66.

July 3rd, Justice H. F. BartheIl's S
office was the scene of the elimination
of half century's romance. Thomas
Weakland and Barbara Schaffer were
born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and
have been acquainted since childhood.
At times in the past fifty years their
paths have been separated. Both had
been married twice before they went
before Justice Barthell. But their
mutual regard has survived the vicis-
studes of long lives, and on last Mon
day they came down from Cresco and
were married. The groom gave his
age as rs and his bride gave hers as
66. --Decorah Journal.

A Serious Fall.

Carl Hanson. who has been haying
on the M. S. Lemon farm east of town
met with very serious accident,
Thursday morning. about nine O'Clock.
The carrier of the hay fork refused to
work, and Mr.. Hanson climbed up into
the barn to fix it. In some manner he
lost his equilibrium and fell, alighting
on the barn floor, causing a very seri-
GUS injury to his head and badly bruis-
ing his body. ering him unconscious
for time. A doctor was called and it
was decided not to move him until it
could be determined whether or not he
had suffered some internal injury.
Mrs. Hanson has gone out to care for
him there until he can be removed to
his home.
