On June the WEIGH printing plant
in Anamcsa. with a weekly payroll
of $3.50. will be sold at Sherins sale
This includes the building and all the
machinery and supplies owned by the
company. The history of the plant In
nutshell is about as follows: w. NJ
WEIGH put in his machinery and all
supplies and copyrights at 100000.
The people of Anamosa were to raise
100000 cash. The amount raised was
about $4,000. The plant was run by
w. NJ. WEIGH for some time without
having any dividends TO stockholders.
w. NJ WEIGH lost control of the stock
and was then frozen out. Under the
new management the plant ran from
$4,000 to $4,000 behind The plant
was then put in the hands OF ]. y.
Ramsey to protect this deficit. There
is now pending in the supreme court
case in which Mr.. WEIGH is trying
to get control Of the plant. The sher-
ifs sale will eliminate all stockholders.
Original stock will not be worth a dol
lar. The outcome of the case in the
supreme court will decide whether Mr.
WEIGH or Anamosa parties will own
the plant unencumbered by stock
holders.-Anamosa Journal.
The above is printed for the moral
For a number of years Linn county
and other counties over the state, have
asked their local printing offices to
compete with the WEIGH plant on sup
plies for the county superintendent
The latter plant lost nearly one hun
dred thousand dollars in few years
Competition with a plant that is
willing to sell its product for $4,000 tc
$4,000 year less than II costs, to say
nothing of interest or profits, is natur-
ally impossible for plant on legiti-
mate basis. The moral is that county
officials of overy county in Iowa should
buy their printing. and all other sup
plies where possible, Of legitimate con-
Germs within their own county. The
competition within any county is stiff
enough in any line to make it safe
to buy there. while the tax paying
dealer or manufacturer In the count,
deserves some consideration over the
nontax paying dealer or manufacturer
outside.

HOODLUMISM ,UNRESTRAINED.
Manson Democrat.]
What everybody says must be true"
hence the fact that everybody who
attended the commencement exercises
IN Manson last Friday night, is saying
that hoodlumiSm Of a part OF the audi
ence caused much confusion, makes
that assertion true. Much complaint
is heard on every side about the i'll
hammered and even immodest actions
of some of the young people gathered
in the gallery of the opera house, o.
tensibly to see and hear the program,
but in reality to raise as much disturb
ance as possible. II is a positive fact
that the confusion was SO great that
the closing number Of the program. an
exquisite violin solo by an artist of
the young lady retiring from the stage
in the middle of the piece, 80 COM
pletely confused was she by the hood
Iumism in the gallery. The action OF
those young people was a shame and
a disgrace to Manson. You say they
should have been arrested? Quite
true but, really, would you care to
have been the one who would cause the
arrest Of young men and women OF
supposedly good families? OF boys
and girls the same age as your own
children and, possibly. the associates
of your children? 1t Ia easier said
than done. How humilating. however,
and how thoroughly disgraceful 1t was
to have young people act as they did.
1t does not seem possible that anybody
except a horde of street toughs could
act as those young people certainly
acted. It is almost too bad that some
of the men present did not lose their
tempers entirely and walk up into gall
lery and cast out the disturbers like so
many swine.

THE STATE FAIR PREMIUM LIST.
"lAlsona Republican,
We desire to call the attention OF
the reader to this list. You will find
that $s4.S76 will be given in the inter
est OF horses. s15,76s for cattle, $3.50
for swine. s2,Sss for sheep and $2,1o1
for poultry.
For the work of children the exhor-
bitant sum OF s17o.5o will be expended,
and for school exhibits. 1886 and $500
for a babies health contest, $500 Of
which is given by magazine, grand
total of $1.656.5O for the boys and girls
Of the great state Of Iowa, outside of
judging contests for agricultural pur-
poses. and at the same time $1,000 Is
given for dog show. S1,656.5O for our
boys and girls, including the health
contest for our babies. and $1,000 for
display Of dirty, snotty- eyed ours. The
state fair board must have a desire
to cultivate the lay dog proposition,
rather than the rearing of good,
healthy, intelligent babies. 1t is a
rank outrage to the educational inter-
ests Of the state. It may be true, Iowa
is an agricultural state and the money
expended for prizes for live stock and
the promotion of agricultural pur-
suits is we'll spent, bu, first, the
proper rearing and education of the
children of the state is necessary be-
fore we can expect to make Il success
OF any vocation farming included. a
healthy and intelligent rural family
will do more tc promote scientific and
successful farming and at the same
time build up the srata generally, than
any other thing. and should come first
in the minds of the state fair board
rather than expending such vast sums
for speeding and dog shows while but
s170.50 is given for the work OF chill
dren. Even bees are given a much
larger sum.
Give us good big prizes fer our boys
and girls, the coming men and wom-
en- of the state. that they may grow
better and bigger in every way. and
if it is necessary to cut down the
prizes for livestock and dog shows
we suggest that they 90 1t.

1t was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife. after dinner, saying:
"Oh. Juliet. l want to show you a
fob that bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for a
long time"
Juliet's enthusiasm over 1t was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and a
new Joy sprang up within her. She

At the office Allison had told tho
boys Of the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose Of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things In
the shape Of Christmas presents for
him. and it was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.

Then it was that the iron entered Ju'
