GEORGE W. LONG. The funeral services of tho late George W. Long were held at the family residence near Delaware last Friday,. Rev. Baily of Delaware and lit v. Stoddard of Earlville officiat ing, and the remains were interred in the Delaware cemetery. George W. Long- was born at Rolling Prairie, Indiana, May 14th 1837. He came with his parents to this county in 1854, and five years, there artir was united in marriaare with MUs Julietta Colburn. Of the seven children born to them, four are now living, one daughter and three sons Mrs. Lizzie S. Hulbert of Primgar,jS. D., Henry F. of Do land, S. D., George E., of Salem, S. D. and Jay C., of Oneida township this county. He is also survived by his wife, two brothers, J. N. Long of Marslialltown and E. G. Long of Howard, South Dakota, and two sis ters, Mesdames Jacob and Fred Pet Ion of Delaware. He had been ill for a long time and his death which occurred on the 26th ult, was not unexpected. Mr. Long was a public spirited man, a good citizen, husband and parent, and the large attendance at the funeral attested the high esteem in which he was held. City Council. 1 An adjourned meeting of the city council was held last Monday even ing, for the consideration of some matters that were left over from the regular meeting. The matter of veneering the build ing at the rear of W. N. Boynton's store was referred to the building committee, with power to act. The Hollister Lumber Co. was allowed a bill for materials in the sum of $313. 34, and also the bill of'Victor Col lard for §55.00. The principal business considered was the hearing of petitions from property owners ns to the manner in which the paving contract was com plied with by the contractor, M. Ford. At the outsetj-City Attorney Norris explained the position of the city in the matter. He said that if the con tractor has failed to carry out his contract that the city stands ready to co-operate with the property own ers in seeing that the work is done in accordance with the contract be fore it is accepted and paid for by the city. For the benefit of the property o.vners present, the con tract was read. Objections were made to the various items by J. E. Davis, Wm. and Geo. Barr and Hugh Clemans. A suggestion was made by W. II. Hutchinson that the pav ing was not laid to grade, and that a variance of from six to nine inches between the established grjde and the paving as laid. It was explained that this was made necessary in order to connect the paving laid this year with that laid last year without making a step or a pro nounced incline in the street. Mr. Hutchinson complained that in rais ing the giade of the street in front of his property, his lot would, if he raised his bcrme to conform with the street grade, slope toward his house and water would run into his cellar windows. Further objecting, the property owners said that the re quired amount of crushed rock was uot used, that the sand was not (lushed in, that the two inch sand cushion was not rolled, and the broken brick were not discarded as required by the specifications. The discussion between the property owners and the council continued until a late hour, and all seemed to be of one mind on the proposition that if the contractor has violated his contract he must be compelled to make it good. That he shall hot be paid until it is made good, but that when the contract is complied with or if the work is now completed according to contract, it shall be paid for according to the contract between the city and Mr. Ford.

How We Farm Rice in Southwest Louisiana. Twenty years ago one Maurice Bryne, a Delaware county farmer, moved to Jennings taking his family, and among his farming implements a twine binding harvester, which, with little alteration was used suc cessfully in rice harvesting. This was a revolution, as rice had always been harvested (since Adam) with a sickle then threshed with a club. Using machinery made it possible to grow 100 acres as easily as one before, and more rice meant more water, as rice must now be grown on _hard, dry, solid, clay loam, upon a hard pan subsoil to hold water, and use heavy machinery and teams when water is turned off. Then these farmers, largely from Iowa, (wheat farmers) conceived the idea of farming rice on Louisiana prairies as they farmed wheat on the Iowa prairies, and now with 1,000 miles of canals, 100o deep wells' for flood ing, and crude oil for power, and with 4,000 harvesters, 500 threshers and more than 60 rice mills for pre paring rice for markot-, they are using more machine and less hand labor than other farmers. And with what result? An industry that less than twenty years ago was measured by one hundred thousand dollars, is to-day twenty millions of dollars. But yon ask, what are the profits compared with wheat farming? Before answering, it is said that comparisons are sometimes odious. We have no such intent. In Iowa, wheat farming has been changed to stock farming which is better, and to be fair our comparison will be with the better system of farming as followed now. Visiting a modern Iowa fnrm Of 400 acres I noted its methods and estimated results. The farm is devoted to feeding stock, say 25-co,ws and'100 hogs. The cash results will be sales of milk or cream and hogs without detail: cows will give In milk and cream 40 $1000 109 hogs fattened !'J 1300 Cilvt'K. pigg and lKu:llry 80J SM: Total 13000 One half for tenant and one half for owner, making §1500 for each. Rice 400 acreB gives an average of ten sacks 4000 sacks, sells at §3 -ft= §12000. By our system A goes to the tenant §6000, and .V to land owner who also furnishes seed, costing one dollar per acre and water one fifth of the crop. Giving the owner 3600 For water 2400 To the tenant 6000 Total §12000 Now as to safety and certainty of crop. Modern rice growing is the safest of all crops. As to hand labor it four to one in favor of rice. S. L. CAUY. Manchester, Oct. 2, 190.5. BOARD PROCEEDINGS. Manchester, Iowa, Sept. 90th, ICO'.. Board luetas peradjournineat.

Washington, Oct. 2.—Thousands of nis follow citizens turned out to wel come President Hoosevelt to the na tional enpitnl. and made his lioiue-coui ing an oecasion for an ovation from the time he was sighted on the plat form of his ear until lie passed within the doors of the White House. There was no band of music, but the cheers of the assembled people made the air ring with "hurrahs" as his carriage passed slowly up the avenue. The president was deeply touched by the welcome and especially by its spon taneity. Before leaving the station the presi dent shook hands with the engineer of I»is train. Krom there to the White Mouse yie streets were lined with cheering people, and for the last block or two the president stood in his car riage, hat off, bowing to the plaudits showered on him. Mrs. Roosevelt was radiaut with pleasure. The president's sendoff at Oyster liny was equally hearty. The town was gay with bunting and business was suspended, while everybody was on the street cheering the nation's ex ecutive. At the station was a com pany of young girls iu white who sang "God be with you 'till we meet again." FOUGHT AT CLOSE EANOE Two Men Shoot at Each Other While Confined In an Express Car— Both Badly Hurt. Chicago, Sept. 28.—Locked in a Pa cific express ear, two Chicagoans fought a bloody revolver duel, as the Wabash train bearing them, bound for St. Louis, sped ou its way from Chicago.

So badly hurt was he that he could not run as he tried to do. Within the car John E.
