TELECRAPH|NC IS
BECOMING CHEAPER
Manager Miller Receives Orders In
{ structing Another Reduction
in Wiring Prices.

An order from headquarters of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany was received a few days ago
by Manager Miller of the local sta
ton again reducing the rates.
The new prices will mean a large
saving to telegrap pliers and will un-
doubtedly enlarge the business. In
place of the usual 40 cents for send
ing telegram or night letter,
the company have issued orders to
accept them at the rate of rs and
80 cents. For day letters of the
same amount of words that are al
lowed in night letters the company
have reduced their prices to compar-
atively the same extent. Rates for
this kind of message have been
a rate and one half, meaning so
cents. By the new ruling the
charges for day letters will be As
cents. The new rates are for this
state only. This is the second re-
duction made by the Western Union
in this state in the last year. When
the day and night letters were in
stalled, telegraph Offices noticed a
great increase in business. 1t is ex-
pected that the latest rate will
mean another large jump in their
business. as at the rate of fifty
words for rs or 80 cents telegraph
ing to any station in Iowa is almost
as cheap as telephoning. Although
the change has been in vogue but
few days much more work is being
done. ~

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
WITH CORN SHELTER
Burney Ambrose Has Clothing Torn
of by Machine but Escapes
With Minor Bruises.

A very "1ucky accident" in which
Burney Ambrose had his entire
clothing removed by set screw on
corn shelter, but escaped with but
minor injuries took place yesterday
in the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way yards.
Mr.. Ambrose was employed at
feeding the shelter and was oiling
the machine when the accident oc-
Cured. He had mounted the feed
board of the machine and stepped on
an ear of corn. Owing to this fact
his foot slipped and the set screw
near the mouth of the shelter caught
his trousers. In order to release his
clothing Mr.. Ambrose kicked, but in
SO doing lost his balance. He fell
landing on his hip on the set screw
and Immediately his clothing again
caught. AS the set screw of the
shelter revolves at terrific rate of
speed the mans clothing was torn
from him in a moment. One of the
other helpers hurried to the scene
and shut off the machinery in time
to save the man from being dragged
into its mouth. A call for a ply
stefan was also sent in hurriedly and
by the time Mr.. Ambrose was releas-
ed medical attention was at hand.
Mr.. Ambrose was able to stand up
after the accident and started to his
home, but become i'll and tainted. He
was then placed in an auto and TAX
en- home. An examination revealed
several painful bruises and an open
wound on one hip that had been
caused by falling when he first be-
came caught in the machine. Mr..
Ambrose's escape from serious in
jury is considered remarkable.

THE IOWA WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Threshing in the Southern Counties
and Yield in Excess of
Recent Years.

Des Moines, July 23.-The past
week was unusually cool; the aver
age daily deficiency of temperature
ranging from 6 to 10 degrees. The
average precipitation was much
above the normal, except over the
three southern tiers of counties,
where it was very dry up to Satur-
day night. In the three northern
tiers of counties, and in portions OF
the central sections the rainfall was
heavy; nearly all stations reporting
more than 200 inches, and several
more than 800 inches. The first
four days of the week were, howey-
er, clear and dry, and rapid prog
ress was made in haying and har-
vesting. Threshing is now general
in the southern counties, and early
reports indicate yields much in ex-
cess of the average of past years. In
the northern sections where the late
rains we're heavy, oats are badly
lodged and will be difficult to har-
vest. The rains will also prevent
work in the fields in that section for
two or three days, but they have
been of great benefit to corn, past
ures, potatoes, spring sown grasses,
gardens and fruits. Corn made good
growth during the week, even
though the weather was cool, and
the crop is in good condition and
improving daily.

Matrimonial Mistakes"

The United Brethren church was
well filled last evening with a good
audience, who gathered to hear
Bishop Carter of Chattanooga, Tenn,
deliver his lecture on Matrimonial
Mistakes" Though humorous In Its
nature and well interspersed with
mirth tickling stories the bishops
lecture nevertheless had its serious
message and by running fire OF
funny incidents and comical sayings
the speaker sought to drive home
the truth that the great divorce evil
OF today is largely due to hasty and
i'll considered marriages. Those
present were indeed we'll pleased
with the address.

To the Public.

We have started in the grocery
and fruit business and it seems to
me that my competitors are trying
their best to down me, but am SO
proud that the public is getting
smarter nowadays and can see for
themselves the facts. If it hadn't
been for Barney Brin you would
have paid last winter for potatoes
from $500 to 1926 bushel. Now
I went in the grocery and fruit
business and am trying to buy the
best and the cheapest goods for the
public, as you people can see for
yourselves. l am not only trying to
save money for your people in groc-
cries as you will see If l live. am
going to save you money in other
things in the future. I lived 20
years in Dallas, Texas, and ran
grocery store and meat market.
I had a grocery, a meat market
and bakery in Chicago for Is years
and my store was always crowded
with customers from morning till
night and my customers were always
glad to see me and meet me wher-
ever I went I really think that
Webster City people ought to be
glad that I went in that line Of bust
ness
Thera js only one thing am
getting to be a little. too old and |
can not read nor write in any
language. but thank the Lord, God,
Almighty, l will show the public
that an old man Ga years old that
in grocery line there will be con-
siderable change in the future. Don't
forget old Barney Brin. He will
save you money. 23d2f1

5000 SOLDIERS
. / EXPECTED & &c 1 IN CAMP
Will March Nightly at Iowa Falls
Largest Number Of Soldiers
49, Since War.

All members of the national
guard in the state intend to go to
camp. The reason they give for this
decision is that the camp at Iowa
Falls will be within three blocks of
the edge of town, which will allow
them to visit the place nightly. They
will be able to get acquainted with
the city and have all the enjoyment
possible. Another feature of the
camp is that it will be pitched with
in stones throw of the Iowa river,
one of the most beautiful rivers in
the state of Iowa. They will be able
to go bathing, rowing and have a
good time. T.
The camp next August will be
eventful as this will be the largest
gathering of soldiers in the state
since the civil war. This year all
the regiments will gather at Iowa
Falls for a state camp, instead of
regimental camps as were held in
the past. There will be more than
5000 soldiers, and the entire num-
Der will parade nightly. This will
be beautiful sight, as it is not of
ten that the people of Iowa have the
opportunity to witness such spec
tacle. Excursions are being planned
by every railroad in the state, con-
sequently the soldier boys will be in
no danger of getting homesick.

State Platform Good.

:
To the Editor: gladly avail my
self of the opportunity to give my
personal views upon the present po-
litical situation.
am. heartily in favor of the stand
taken at our recent state convention
in Des Moines. That platform ex-
presses my personal views upon the
present political situation. I am
going to vote as recommended in
the platform. Right here 1 wish to
say that it is the most advanced and
progressive platform ever adopted
by any political party, and it is in
sympathy with the best thought of
the nation. No third party can i'm
prove upon it. To carry out the
spirit of that platform, would mean
great moral victory for the repub-
lican party and eliminate most of
the political evils to which objec-
ton is now made.
1t provides: 1. For a presiden-
tial primary. 2. For the election
of United States senators by a direct
vote of the people (there would be
no repetition Of the Lorimer scan
daD. 8. The reduction of the nom
mating power of the southern states
in national republican conventions
to equal their voting strength at
the general elections. At the Chi
cago convention eight states, (South
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Louis
lana, Georgia, Mississippi, and
Tennessee) had a total of
1856 delegates: while Iowa
had only &c delegates; yet Iowa cast
as many votes in 1908 for Taft as
did all of those eight states combin-
ed. Moreover, those states have few
voters that vote the republican
ticket from any political convictions.
They vote and work with the repub-
lican party for the political plums
that are the fruits of a republican
administration
shall support every nominee on
the state, district and county tick
ct. These nominees obtained their
nominations through the primary,
and any one who believes in the
primary method should abide in the
result and support the nominees. I
shall not vote for Taft, as the party
platform allows each one to vote ac-
cording to his individual con-
science" as to president. Taft is not
the nominee of the regularly and
duly accredited delegates to the Chi
cago convention.
I am against the organization of
third party. This state is in the
hands of the progressives. The
present leaders of the republican
party are progressives. The great
states of the nation are now in the
progressive column. Therefore,
there is now no call for new party.
A new party can not improve upon
the stand taken by the progressives.
We may suffer a temporary defeat
this fall, but We will never see an
other convention such as was held
in Chicago. The south will never
again hold the balance and control
ling power to nominate candidate
to whose election they contribute no
votes. After this the candidate will
be nominated by primary by the
people and the states that must elect
him. ]. z. Burnstedt.
