SCRAMBLED HARMONY.

The second week Of that harmonious
gathering of democrats at Baltimore
has hegnn. Called to order to hear
orators view with alarm the lack OF
dignity of the recent republican con-
yention and point with pride to the
united democracy, the convention then
proceeded to break into disorder and
starr reaching for bricks.
William Jennings Bryan would have
nothing to do with any candidate who
received New York's support. He gave
this explanation in Withdrawing his
vote from Clark to Wilson Mr.. Clark
retorted that any man who intimated
that he had made any bargains with
New York in return for its support
was "a traitor to the democratic
party" He demanded proof or retrac-
ton. Mr.. Bryan replied that Clark was
right at heart, but had been misled.
Senator Reed Of Missouri, who made
the speech nominating Clark. added
this contribution to the harmony pro-
gram:
II am speaking now more in sorrow
than in anger, but / give as my firm
opinion that William j. Bryan, drunk
with ambition, has actually convinced
himself that he is the sole repository
OF the conscience of the democratic
party and the only salvation for the
republic. Having been thrice nomi-
mated; he has about concluded that he
has q proprietary interest in that

"DoN'Ts" FOR DRIVERS.

The following list Of Hot weather
don'ts" for owners and drivers of
horses during the hot weather is given
out by the Iowa Humane society:
Don't stand him in the sun when by
moving across the street or around
the corner you can find shade.
Don't put the same load upon him
when the thermometer is at 80 as you
would when it is just above freezing
point.
Don't fail to give him water at
short intervals.
Don't fail to battle his head with
cold water.
Don't give him whisky unless ad-
vised by veterinary surgeon.
Don't take any yourself. Whisky
heats the blood and nine-tenths of the
abuses of animals are traceable to Its
use.
Don't fail to wash out your horses
mouth.
Don't rail, il he shows exhaustion,
to give him a half hours rest.
Don't fail, in extreme cases, to
apply ice to the head and icewater to
the body SO as to reduce the tempera-
ture.
Don't lash your horse when he Is
doing the best he can.
Don't take advice from the man in
the crowd who knows 1t ALL and Is
always on hand.

THE BASEBALL siTuATloN.

The solicitors engaged IN securing
funds for the maintenance Of the base
ball team during the balance OF the
year state that many Of those they ap'
proach seem to think that there IS no
danger Of losing the team, but tnat
this talk is only for the purpose OF
throwing q scare into the baseball low
ing public. The directors insist, now
ever, that they are In deadly earnest.
The baseball association must have
funds. II the funds are not secured at
once 1t will be necessary to dispose OF
the franchise. Other cities IN the
league cannot understand why Ottum-
wa should take chances Of losing a
winning team. Some of these cities
have been working for years to build
up winning team and have only been
kept in the league by the loyalty or
the fans Of their cities. Ottumwa has
had winning baseball ever since Man
aeer Egan was secured to manage the
club. and in addition has seen more Dig
league baseball teams than any city 10
the state during that period: There
are more reasons why Ottumwa should
support baseball now than ever be-
fore. To remain loyal for years with
tail end clubs and then quit IN mid
season with a winning team would De
the height Of inconsistency.
