ing temperature on the End and light
to heavy frosts on the Bird and 4th
delay corn planting for several
days, but the latter half Of the week
was favorable for work and tOnsid
cradle planting was done. The rains
during the fore part of the week were
very beneficial and grass and small
grains are now growing rapidly under
the effect of the higher temperature
during the closing days Of the week.
Flowing for corn is nearly finished,
and a large amount of corn will be
planted during the coming week with
the soil generally in excellent filth. 1t
is thought that very little, if any, dam
age was done to fruit by the frost and
freezing temperature and the pros

very promising.

Ex-senator Young's simple denial
| that he has written anything to the
president derogatory to any legislator
who voted for Kenyon ought to settle
story, which was one OF the m0st
wicked and malicious canards ever
perpetrated upon public man in this
state Mr.. Young certainly had no
cause to SANDER the men who stood
by him for so many ballots and who
only voted for Kenyon when it was
apparent that Young could not be
elected and that Kenyon's election
was the only possible solution of the
deadlock.
Senator Young made brilliant rec
ord while in the upper house. His
speeches had the right ring and did
much TO clarity the political atmos-

A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

| Hon. Paul Stillman, editor of the
Jefferson Bee, and late speaker OF the
Iowa house of representatives, has
made his announcement as candi
date for congressional honors in this
the Tenth district.
Mr.. Stillman is splendid, clean
cut young man, capable, honorable and
all together worthy of the honor. or
many years he has published one of
the very best newspapers in Iowa, and
his influence has always been on the
side of right.
He belongs TO the so-called pro-
gressiye wing of the republican party,
but he has never been bitter in his
craftsmanship and is much more OF a
republican than a factionalist. He is
much the same order OF a man as is
Senator Kenyon.
1t is evident that the standpatters
of this district cannot hope to elect
a congressman of their own faction.
it is the part of wisdom for
them to throw factiOnalism to one
side and unite upon some progressive
who is capable and strong and honest
and fair. The Tenth district ought not
to be represented as it is today.
There is much good congressional
timber in the district besides Mr.. Still
man, and it is perhaps proper to with
hold definite endorsement until the
field is better known. 1t is a very
hopeful sign, however, that so able
a man as Paul Stillman has entered
the race as it contains much OF
promise that the big Tenth will again
be represented in congress.
