Who like myself, remember some
things about Shiioh and April 6 and 7,
1862, that never appeared in official

the face of that fellow that steadied
the line on the extreme of Co.A on our

ment. I was on the end of Co. and
experienced the same sensations the
rest of you men of Shiioh. There will
likely be 600 survivors of Shiioh at
Denver. Let us get together and form
a national organization of the surviv
ors. The national organization of
Woman's Relief Corps was really or
ganized at Denver in 1883 and of
course that organization of noble wo
men Will have & very large attend
ance. Don't forget the meeting of the
naval veterans and you gunboat boys
are expected in Denver, in fact, every

WINTER WHEAT SUCCESS.
Farmers In Northwestern Iowa Make
Big Profit.
Onawa, Aug. 16,—That they can
raise winter wheat In Monona county
and western Iowa has been demon
strated this year. Courtrlght and"
Jones, who farm what is generally
known as the old Ashton farm, for
merly owned by Senator .Veomanfi, two
miles north of Onawa-, raised 226 aores
of winter wheat that weighed out 28
bushels per acre. Figuring it at 75
cents a bushel, it netted them the
neat sum of $21 per acre.
A. M. Mann, the same locality,
175 acres of winter wheat that run
from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. John
Murphy's, near the same place, aver
aged 28 1-3 bushels per acre.
Mr. Dugdale of Franklin raised 40
bushels of winter wheat per acre,
which sold for 95 cents per bushel—
$30 per acre.
These are just samples and there are
many fields of the same kind. Nearly
all the winter wheat averaged from 20
to 30 bushels per acre and has proven
to be the best paying crop ever grown
In recent years.
The heavy bottom lands seems to be
the best for winter wheat, and the
"gumbo" can't be beat for fall wheat.
The crop has proven to be such a
mortgage lifter that the acreage sown
bids fair to be doubled this fall. Many
farmers who rented have realized from
$8 to $12 per acre for the use of their
ground.
William Primmer, an enterprising
young farmer of Sallx, has Just sold
his crop of winter wheat for $4,360. He
had in 300 acres, which produced 4,450
bushels. The cost of raising and mar
keting this crop was about $3,000, in
cluding $1,200 for rent and $700 for
seed. Mr. Primmer Is pleased with his
profit of $1,300 fflnd will sow a large
acreage again this fall.
BARN IS BURNED.
Fire In Rlverview Last Night Believed
to Be of Incendiary Origin.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The barn of Frank Barton, who
lives in Rlverview, was burned last
night and a quantity of hay destroyed.
Mr. Barton estimates his loss at about
$200 and believes that the fire was of
incendiary origin.
DEBATE A "FIZZLE."
(Continued from Page 1).
a very few sentences had the audience
enthusiastically following his defini
tion of the common people. It was
very plain and practical. Every one
who is willing that all other people
shall enjoy all rights and privileges,
enjoyable by themselves, Is of the
common people, according to Gover
nor Cummins.
Referring to the rights of corpora
tlons, now prevailing, he quoted from
his address before the senate com
mittee. He 6aid that he is riot anti
railroad, and anti-corporation, he
wants them kept from voting. The
common people must stop and must
prevent in the future, the rule of th-r
railroad managers.
Insurance companies must be con
trolled in the interests of the people
whose money they handled.
Referring to the tariff question, he
said that the advocates of protection
ask to be let alone on the principal
of letting well enough alone. He ad
vocated a general primary law. This
will give the common people power in
the government. No reference was
made to eighth district politics.

fort, however, was mc.de to inaugur
ate the system.

nearly three times that of Organized

ment.
Carl S. Evans of Cedar Rapids, up

Printing Trades League has been ap
pointed organizer by the International

labors will be directed mostly in se
curing membership allied directly
with the International from localities
not having a sufficient number of
craftsmen to form a local union. Sev
eral of the Iowa Typographical unions
have made special initiation rates to
secure such members as Jurisdiction
members.
Owing to the Increased volume of
business, the executive board of Dis
trict 13 of the United Mine Workers
changed the duties of Secretary
Treasurer Perry, so that In the future
he will be relieved from field work
except such as may pertain to the fin
ances of the organization. Recommen
datlons were also made by the same
board which makes It practically man
datory for all locals to bond financial
officers In a recognized bonding com
pany.
Clarinda reports about twenty-five
members of organized labor out of
work and about twice that number of
unorganized laborers.

To Locomotor AtaxlosI
After myself suffering for ten years
the tortures that only an ataxic can
know, I have been relieved of all pain
and restored to health and strength by
an* easily obtained and inexpensive
treatment. The prescriptions which
cured me( which can be filled by any
druggist) I will mall tree to any fel
low sufferer who sends me a self-ad
dressed, stamped envelope.
