Tuesday of this week w. c. May
was in town and settled up for his
crop of beans which he sold to the
Kendrick Warehouse and Milling Co.
Mr.. May planted in June forty acres
of beans which he has taken good
care of and harvested them in the
right ann and for his labors re-
ceived a check for $1,000. The
number Of pounds raised by him on
the patch of ground was 1888 1-3
for which he received 8 cents a pound.
The beans were of excellent size and
in perfect condition, showing that if
the farmers of this country will plant
to beans what they can properly
handle and then take good care of
them, they can produce a good crop
every year and be we'll rewarded in
the fall for his labors.

faithful, If elected to office, to those
principles. A political party which
does not do that is no party at all,
has no consistency, no character
and must become the prey of the
loudest promiser.
''The Roosevelt followers disclos-
ed in the convention with perfect
ingeniousness that they believed a
political party exists for no other
purpose than to seize upon any idea
which may be converted into votes,
needless that such idea might be vi
olative of the reason for the party's
existence.
mo victory is real which Is won
at the expense of the abandonment
of those principles of government,
which however old they may be,
must be everlastingly alive. To deny
this is to deny that the foundation
of a structure has become unimport-
ant because it is invisible"

FATHER NORTON TO
LEAVE WEBSTER CITY
Transferred by the Archbishop to
Waukon-Farewell Service
4 Next Sunday.

Father M. X. Norton, who has
been in charge of the local Roman
Catholic parish for the last seven
years, has been transferred to the
Irremovable" parish at Waukon
and next Sunday will be his last in
this city. This news will be receiv-
ed with regret, not only by the
members of his own church, but al
SO by the people in general.
The church has made much pro-
gress in many. ways since Father
Norton game to this city and he has
won a place in the hearts of his peo-
pie that will be hard to fill. Dur
ing his pastorate church debt of
$4,000 has been lifted and the pres
ent rectory built, which is one of
the finest homes in the city. Faith
er Norton himself has contributed
several thousands of dollars to
these improvements. But his inter-
est has not been confined to the
church alone He has been solicit
ed for various enterprises and has
given literally to such as he con-
sidered tended toward the better
ment of the city. In short he has
been progressive citizen and q
faithful pastor. He will be succeed
ed here by Father Barry of New
Haven.

AND
BICYCLE COLLIDE
Young Man From Eagle Grove
Takes Wrong Side Of Street
in Passing Car.

A young man whose name could
not be learned, but who resides in
Eagle Grove, had most narrow es-
cape from what might have been
fatal injury Sunday afternoon when
his bicycle collided with an automo-
bile driven by Elbert Ferrell.
Mr.. Ferrell was driving east on
Second street near the city hall at
a moderate rate of speed, when the
boy on the bicycle turned the mar
ket square corner riding quite fast.
Mr.. Ferrell, who did not see the bi-
cycle until it had almost reached his
car, turned to the right However,
the boy, probably becoming excit-
ed, also turned to that side Of the
street. AS the driver of the car
could not stop they collided. The
bicycle was badly wrecked in the af-
fair, but the boy by an apparent
stroke of good luck escaped injury.
The auto passed over his body but
the wheels did not strike him. AS
soon as Mr.. Ferrell could stop his
car he turned back to where the
boy was. However, the young man
was already up and standing in the
street mourning the loss of his
wheel. Mr.. Ferrell paid him for his
loss, although the boy was riding
on the wrong side of the street and
he was under no obligations to do
this
This accident ought to be a warn
ing to some of those bicycle and mo-
torcycle riders who seem to pay no
attention to street ordinances, but
ride at any rate of speed and on
any, side of the street.

man of this meeting at which we are

Judge Ben B. Lindsay of Denver,

can be no more solemn occasion

movement. I believe that we should

Him for whom we are here"
DR.. W. H. Nixon of Selma, Ala,
a negro clergyman and Roosevelt
delegate who was excluded from
the republican convention, began to
recite the Twenty-third Psalm,
which begins: "The Lord is my
shepherd" The delegates arose
and repeated it with him. A prayer
by DR.. Nixon followed.
Someone began to sing "Ameri-
ca" and in a moment the others
were singing. The meeting was in
contrast to the uproarious ones
which had been held in the same
room while the convention was in
session. There was no cheering or
no cry of EAT 'em
alive, Teddy" The solemnity of
the occasion, which was believed to
signalize the birth of the new par
ty, impressed itself upon the gath
ering and hush fell over the
crowd, broken only by the voices of
the speakers.
