OSKALOOSA. : v IOWA:
Deoember 13,1888.
Weather tor *B9. In Sunday’s Bur
lington Hawkeye. Prof. Foster fore
shadows for 1889 thus: “Beginning
in December of this year we will ex
perience the most severe storms and
extremes of weather It will be a year
of tornadoes, floods, blizzards and
drouths. No general drouth is ex
pected, but general and sudden ex
tremes of weather.
ThjeGrip Grabbers.— The annual
meeting of the lowa State Traveling
Men’s Association was held at Des
Moines. The address of the President,
Mr. 1L B. Hedge, showed that the or
ganization had grown in membership
during the eight years of its existence,
from eighty to 1,055. During the past
year there were ,118 1 new members
added. The association has a benefic
iary attachment for the benefit of
members who meet with accident in
the discharge of duty, an exception be
ing made in case of base-ball players.
Played Them As “Suckers.”— The
Albia Union says: “A lady of prepos
sessing appearance and a glib talker
struck Albia a few days ago. Her mis
sion was to sell books, and to secure
subscribers, she threw in some pieces
of new sheet music. Many names
went on her subscription book, because
the books were so cheap you know,
and then so many pieces of the new
sheet music were thrown in, and a por
tion of the purchase price was pa’d in
advance. The lady has gone, the books
and music have not come, and now
some of the ladies in town.are just
swearing mad, and declare they will
never let another strange lady darken
their doors. And the book store men
just laugh out loud."
Eat Onions.— An exchange says:
“A prominent physician was seen buy
ing a barrel of onions, and, being guyed
about his purchase, said: *1 always
have boiled onions for dinner for the
benefit of my children. I like onions
too. They are the best medicine I
know of for preventing colds. Feed
onions, raw, boiled or baked to the
children three or four times a week
and they'll grow up healthy and strong.
No worms, no scarlatina, no diphthe
ria where children eat plentifully of
onions every day.’ Another distin
guished physician confirmed the fore
going statement, adding: ‘I couldn’t
give better advice, no matter bow hard
I might try.’ ”
Stay in lowa.— Verily the soil of
lowa is prolific and inexhaustible. In
1850, Mr. James Clark, residing six
miles northwest of this city, broke the
wild prairie for his farm, and every year
since that time has raised thereon a
crop of grain. This year the land
broken in 1850—thirty-eight years ago
—yields sixty bushels of corn to the
acre, and of as good if not better qual
ity than it ever yielded before. While
many of our former citizens are starv
ing in Kansas, because of failure of
crops continuously from year to year,
lowa and Marion county turn out mil
lions upon millions of bushels of grain
every year. Stay in lowa where there
is always plenty and to spare. “Why
leave these fertile fields to feed and
batten on that moor?”— Knoxville Re
porter.
December Storms. —Prof. Foster
thus predicts: “Mercury passes the
equator of the sun December 12; the
moon passes the earth’s equator De
cember 11, and a storm will be due on
the latter date. From the 11th to the
17th will be a period of great storms—
that is, above the average, the princi
pal dates of the period for this longi
tude being December 11 and 16. The
next succeeding storm date will be
December 22. The planetary influ
ences are: Venus equinoctial the 22d;
the earth crosses the sun’s equator De
cember 10-19; the moon crosses the
earth’s equator December 25. These
combined and powerful planetary
events will, in our opinion, and accord
ing to all past observation and exper
iences, cause some very bad weather
and fierce storms during that period,
list to 29th, the principal dates for the
Mississippi river line being within
twenty-four hours of sunset on the 22d,
25th and 28th.”
Will Come.— The Ottumwa Press
of last Saturday has an interview with
Mr. Geo. R. Lee, editor of the Belle
Plaine Union, in which is the follow
ing bit of promise for Oskaloosa. Said
he: “The Chicago & Northwestern
railway company is going to do some
thing near the city next spring. All
their implements and engines that were
beiug used on the eastern branch have
been stored away in Belle Plaine,
and quite a lot have also been brought
in there from the west. All their men
and teams are quartered there, or near
there, and from what I am able to learn
they are going to put in a donble track
between Belle Plaine and Stark, and
from thence to Oskaloosa, in place of
Mnchakinock, as they now run. Now
what you Oskaloosa people want to do
is to treat them white, and you will
have a first class new railroad in your
city.” This come without price, and we
believe it is true.
Some Shucks.— The Montezuma Dem
ocrat vouches for this: “William Thia
isalie, living in the neighborhood o.
Nowhere, in this county, is the best
corn-busker in the state up to date. On
the day after the election he went into
the field at exactly 7 o’clock, and, after
taking a chew of tobacco, commenced
shucking. He worked leisurely and
stopped one hour for dinner. He quit
work at 6 o’clock and found that he
had cribbed 387busbels of corn dur
ing the day.” And comes the Wiufield
Beacon: “Some time since we pub
lished an account of swift husking by
Cbas. Hoicum, this gentleman actu
ally husking and cribbing 125 bushels
of corn in a day, and we doubted if
this record could be broken; but now
comes the word and authenticated too,
that £<L, son of Wm. Skinner, residing
north-east of this town, did, with his
own two hands, husk and put in the
crib, in one day, 135 bushels; the same
being weighed, so there was no guess
work about it”
How to Select.—Some one who
kno»e all about orangee says the wont
losing ones are often the best. The
richest and sweetest oranges that come
in the market are the black or rusty*
coated ones. The finest looking oranges
in the box are usually the wont All
their quality is in the skin. Good ones
are always heavy. This is because the
skin is light and they are full of good
meat and juice. Thick-thinned oranges
are usually dry because the skins ex
haust all the juice. Oranges are al
ways better after a slight frost Man
darin and Tangerine oranges are
brought from China and Tangier*.
They are called the kid-glove fruit, be
cause they can be eaten without soiling
the gloves. Those who like a sour or
an** should try and pick out a pale
skinned one. The Florida orange crop
this year is estimated at boxes,
which. somebody food of figure*
calculated, will give ten to each person
in the United States.
More Bets.— Here are some of the
silly things men who were silly enough
to bet on the election will have to do:
A temperance lecturer in lowa is to
get gloriously drunk on gin. A stu
dent at Linooln, Nebraska, will sit on
the college tower all day on the 4th of
March. An Ohio man will wear a
petticoat on the street for three months.
A Cincinnati man will eat a roasted
crow before the leading ladles of the
city, if the leading ladies have no more
sense than to stand and watch him.
An Omaha man will attend a high
toned party with his coat on wrong
side out and the back in front. A
Methodist deacon will play poker in
the street with a noted gambler. An
Indiana man will turn twenty sum
mer-saults in the street every day for
three weeks, and another will drive a
cow and a mule to his thousand dollar
carriage.
lowa Cities.— Taking the vote oast
in many of the cities of lowa at the
last election and multiplying by five
which is the general rule, it gives the
following population:

For Christmas. —An exchange in a
lengthy article giving a description of
the new and handsome articles suit
able for holiday presents closes thus:
“Here are some pretty trifles that are
being made by women who cannot
afford expensive Christmas presents,
but who can offer some dainty bit of
their own handiwork as the most
charming of all gifts. A satchet is
made of white linen duck, painted
with heliotropes or violets and filled
with sachet powder of the perfume of
the flower painted on the outside. It
is twelve inches long and eight wide,
fringed at both ends and tied around
one end with a ribbon and bow of lilac,
ribbon to match the painted flowers.
A very pretty little square sachet shows
white satin ends and pink satin sides
over which is a square of bolting cloth,
hand painted with daisies. The edges
are cut in small squares and gilded.
Across one end is tied a narrow pink
satin ribbon with a tiny bow, on which
is painted in gilt letters “Merry Christ
mas.” Novel sachets for boxes of let
ter paper are in cardboard tied up in
envelope form with tiny ribbons, one
side handpainted with flowers and the
other addressed with a painted stamp
and post mark. Another square sachet
in duck is painted with clover blossoms
and with a bow of pink satin ribbon in
one corner.”
Beacon Schools.— The 3d month
ending Nov. 30 has been one of most
satisfactory work, although various
circumstances have interfered with
the attendance.... The room in charge
of Miss Jennie Evans is the banner
room in the matter of regular attend
ance. This same room and also the
Principal’s room have not had a single
case of tardiness during the month.
.... Miss Hartshorn of the primary has
been sick for several days during the
month, but her place has been well
filled by Miss Cecil McDonald and
Miss Lizzie Wilson.

annual report last Friday. The amount
representing the roads in lowa is 8147,-
854,522 85. The total number of stock
holders is 28,184. Those living in lowa
589, or one stockholder in forty-eight.
The amount of stock reported owned
in the state is 85,369,451.72, which is
about one share in twenty-eight of the
stock representing the property in
lowa. Th) aggregate debt of the roads
that form the lowa lines is $529,613,-
046.61, of this amount 8514,748,340.30 is
funded debt, 814,764,706.41 is floating
debt. Debt per mile is 834,126.91. The
debt representing the roads in lowa is
8174,066,775.29. The gross earnings for
lowa for the year ending Jnne 30,1888,
were $37,295,58682; operating expenses,
$26,296,163.63; net earnings were 810,-
998,422 90, or 81,317.88 per mile of roads
reported operated; reported mileage,
8,346.31-100. The operating expenses
for lowa were an increase over the
former year of $2,144,173.21. The earn
ings of lowa were a decrease of $234,-
143 80, or the decrease of net earnings
from the previous year was for the
state of lowa, $2,378,173.21. The pro

THE HERALD: OSKALOOSA. MAHASKA COUNTY. IOWA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1888.
STAND BT THE UI.D QUAIID.
The bluster raised by Gen. Palmer,
of Illinois, and Gen. Koontz, of Indiana,
about a partisan Grand Army has near
ly spent itself already. This is not the
first time such an attempt on the life
of this organization has been made. A
dozen or more times in the last fifteen
years men have been moved to such
faithless action by political defeat or
unpatriotic motive, only to be prompt
ly rebuked by overwhelming failure
and personal shame, as will be the lot of
these disturbers now. Nothing is more
fixed than the written law of non
partisanship in this grand old guard of
veteran soldiers. This is not only
secured by the written rule which reads:
“No officer or comrade of the Grand
Army of the Republic shall in any
manner use the organization for
partisan purposes, and no discussion of
partisan questions shall be permitted at
any of its meetings, nor shall any nom
ination for political office be made;”
but it is also secured by .the continuous
and consistent policy of the order,
which has never in any degree lent it
self to partisan ends or been made the
tool of political ambition. It has ad
hered steadfastly as every honest mem
ber knows, to the.legitimate work for
which it stands, despite the occasional
ly excited and even inflammatory de
mands of a portion of its membership,
and to-day in its career and formulated
policy of the past;and present can bid
defiance to criticism and slander,
whether they come within its own
ranks or from the outside.
What a farce there is in the very
name of a Democratic Grand Army of
the Republic! And what a roaring
farce is a Democratic Grand Army,
with only Democrats eligible, organized
as a security against partisanship! The
name alone, ought to kill it beyond all
hope of resurrection, and the name
combined with the object is enough to
make the cold types that print the
words laugh outright in the columns of
the Democratic press in which they
appear.
The Grand Army now has in its
ranks a solid phalanx of over 400,000
men who have bared their bodies to
rebel lead in defense of country, and
risked life and health and all that is
precious to keep the old flag waving at
the gateway of the nation. As a body
these men are expending from $250,-
000 to $300,000 every year in aid of
their fellow comrades, who have grown
faint and weary by the wayside from
disability and disease. In every honor
able way they are looking after the
just claims of these men on the nation,
and fostering the growth of loyal ideas
in the generation that has grown to
manhood since the war, and to whom
those stirring days are only cold facts
of history. All this, these scarred vet
erans are doing for all comrades who
are needy, regardless of political faith
or affiliation, just as they unitedly
fought for their country’s honor on
southern battle fields then. Does any
body who knows the spirit and heart
of these men think there ever can be,
in this country, more than one Grand
Army of the Republic? Does any old
soldier, who, in the grand army hall, or
in the touching hours of a regimental
reunion, or in the sacred march of dec
oration day, has touched shoulders with
his Democratic comrades and respond
ed to the fraternal feeling pulsing
through every fibre of his nature,—
never caring to what party
but only that he is brother and com
rade in that relation more sacred than
all but family ties,—does any such
soldier question the fidelity and perma
nence of these Democratic comrades in
the cherished old ranks ? Only a few
will go out at best; a few who permit
disappointment and partisan feeling to
dominate their better selves. But the
old guard will answer the old roll call,
until one by one taps are heard and the
heart is stilled.
IOWA STOCK UREEDERS.
Extracts from Address of President John Mc-
Hugh at lowa City eduesday.
That the values of blooded stock have
suffered a decline in 1888, as compared
with recent years, is a fact regretfully
ascertained in the conduct of the sea
son’s business. But it is my belief that
the sag in prices is only temporary, and
the discriminating tendency resulting
from increased offerings, will most as
suredly tend to embrace in value the
strictly meritorious animal.
The control and manipulation of our
beef product by a single firm with head
quarters in Chicago and branches
wherever needed to strengthen its of
fensive policy, transportation com
panies favoring this huge scheme to
enrich the few at the expense of the
many, combinations so conspicuous in
detail, that the owner of cattle on a
thousand hills as well as the eastern
retail butcher, alike await the will of
this giant monopoly and both are truly
representatives of the blighting effect
of that organized power that lowers at
will the price of cattle in the west,
while increasing the cost of beef to the
eastern consumer. lowa cattle men
have a direct interest in seeing these
exactions, at least, curtailed, to the ex
tent of securing a competitive market
for their product. The terminal ex
actions with our lowa hay and corn,
returned to us 100 per cent profit, with
yardage, shrinkage, cribbage com
mission and other leaks, are well cal
culated to test the patience and stay
ing qualities of the producer, but when
the net proceeds already diminished
become a question of an individual
conscience, things are not right and
need immediate remedying.
It is quite gratifying to note with
each succeeding year the improvement
made in the horses of the State, by the
continued introduction of the best
blood to be found in European coun
tries. The energy displayed by the sev
eral importing firms and owners of
horse farms, is fast leaving its impress
on the quality of our stock, but so long
as it is possible to stand on the street
corner of the average lowa town and
note that three ont of every four teams
which pass, are inferior looking and
evidently without any claim to good
breeding, just so long most our enter
prising breeders and importers con
tinue the work of exterminating the
scrub. The natural increase of horses
in our state being about 240,000 annu
ally if it be true that 180,000 or even
less, are from unregistered sires, bow
many million dollars are yearly lost
to the aggregate value of lowa stock
by this penny wise and pound foolish
operation ?
The improvement in cattle as repre
sented by the various breeds is not less
marked than in other departments of
our stock industry. In nearly every
county of the State can be found breed
ing establishments where the test of
the different sorts common iu lowa
may be obtained. Yet it is a matter of
astonishment that men abundantly able
to possess the best, who daily witness
the wide range of price between grade
and scrub steers, should longer continue
to waste tbeir energies in producing
the latter sort.
The swine industry leads the march
of improvement and rarely a specimen
of the old pioneer bush rangers is seen
in our markets. The price during tbe
past year has been uniformly high and
enabled a large number of our farmers
to realize handsomely on their pork
crop, thus helping to average well the
season’s operations. Disease, somewhat
local in its ravages, has appeared in
different parts of the State, but it be
comes evident that such plagues are
less general than formerly, due in a
measure to better sanitary precautions
in hog management.
The future of the sheep industry,
both in our own State and the country
generally, Is decidedly encouraging.
Prices for choice mutton, especially for
well-fatted spring lambe have been
quite good during the past year, and
the prospects of an increased consump
tive demand augers well for the future
of tbe skillfully managed flock. There
are very few farmers in lowa whose
premises will not sustain a small flock
of sheep. And no more w holesome and
nutritious meat food than good mut
ton need be required and none so con
venient for the use of the farmer who
frequently requires fresh meat Often
hsve I driven past our farms in mid
summer and observed grass that had
died out for want of a beast to eat it,
yet not Infrequently the butcher's cart
stood at the flutter’s door weighing
out beef and mutton at a shilling per
pound.
In speaking of disease, it cannot fail
to be a question of solicitude for men
whose means are largely in cattle, to be
Informed that the much dreaded scourge
of pleuro-pneumonia still lingers in
many sections of the country and is
liable with all our safeguards, to be in
our midst at any moment. It has been
found impossible to awaken in Con
gress that appreciation of the danger
aud the enormity of the interests in
volved, that would secure a fund suffi
cient to meet any probable emergency.
This and kindred associations should
lose no time in urging upon Congress
the necessity for providing such fund
and thereby reduce the risk and anx
iety of cattlemen.
What is the best breed, is a question
that cannot be settled. It is a a ques
tion of soil, habits, tastes, markets and
other circumstances, the question to be
settled by each individual for himself,
and not for his neighbor or the public.
Rather a Soft Job.
Neva York Tribune,
There must be either a delightful de
gree of elasticity about the act—passed
as late as June 27, 1884—which pro
vided for the new “Bureau of Labor,”
or else there is a charming latitude in
the interpretation of its provisions by
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright. I
hear of prolonged and pleasant trips to
Europe and Asia on the part of special
agents of this interesting Bureau, sala
ries and expenses paid, for the purpose
of obtaining data relative to divorces in
foreign countries. I hear that one con
scientious Government agent visited
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,
and then, by easy stages, pursued his
important inquiries on the continent,
by way of Faria, Berlin and Rome,
where he wintered in the shadow of
St. Peter’s. Then turning northward,
this official pilgrim reached St. Peters
burg, whence he journeyed in a south
erly direction until he reached Con
stantinople, Palestine and Jerusalem.
This, without mentioning the inter
mediate stopping places of minor in
terest, makes up quite a pleasant and
instructive itinerary, although the col
lection of divorce statistics in the land
of the Moslem would appear to be a
work of supererogation, as divorces in
that torrid clime are generally sup
posed to be conducted, I might say,
“secundum artera,” in a sufficiently
brief and summary manner; the fair
sinner being usually sewn up in a sack
and consigned to the Bosphorus.

“Some of the Democratic papers of t bis
district claim that if Weaver had been
a “straight" and avowed Democrat, he
would not have been defeated, but the
election returns tell an entirely differ
ent tale. Weaver received more votes
than Cleveland, because the former was
given almost tbe eutire Union-Labor
vote in addition to that of tbe Democ
racy. He might have received as many
votes if he had made the race as a
square-toed and uncompromising Dem
ocrat, but It Is not probable.”

Aa Ostrich Raoe.
At a command from the doctor one
of the Madrasese keepers opened the
doors of the pens, and iu response to
the doctor’s call two superb ostriches
came running to him. After caress
ing the gentle creatures for a few
moments he showed them a handful of
figs, of which they were extremely fond.
Two of his men then restrained the
birds by placing nooses about their
legs until he and myself had walked
to the other end of the course. Then,
at a signal from the doctor, the birds
were released and the race began. It
was a rare sight. Ornithologists tell
us that the stride of the ostrich when
feeding is from twenty to twenty-two
inches; walking, but not feeding, twen
ty-six inches; and when terrified from
eleven and one-half to fourteen feet.
It seemed to me that in this race for a
handful of figs fn m their master these
gigantic birds covered the last named
distance at every stride.
Like the wind they came, their great
necks stretched forward and upward
to their utmost length; their wings, like
arms,working with a motion similar to
that made by their legs, and filling the
air with a mighty sound like the rush
ing of a whirlwind. Nearer and nearer
they came, their speed increasing with
every moment till I was almost ter
rified lest they should run us down,
feeliug certain that we could not with
stand the shock. They kept well
abreast for nearly half the distance,
and then one began to forge ahead. He
steadily increased his lead till within
a few feet of us, when he turned his
head, and seeing that his competitor
was considerably in the rear he slack
ened his pace, and jogging up to the
doctor received his reward in figs and
careresses.— Los Aneylee Letter.

Woman’s Belief.
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven
cannot heal,” whether arising from
physical, mental, or moral sources.
The promises and consolations of the
gospel furnish abundant remedies for
all spiritual or mental woes, and the
Creator has stored, in the kingdom of
Nature, remedies for every physical ail
ment. For ages these remedies were
allowed to lie dormant through the
ignorance of mankind as to their uses,
and for ages more but little attention
whs given to remedies for the peculiar
afflictions of woman, who was looked
upon and treated as a slave by lordly,
and then brutal man, and her suffering
regarded with beastly indifference. In
later times, science and Christian phil
anthrophy have come to her relief, de
vising remedies for her peculiar weak
nesses, which have been combined in
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, a
remedy that cures the pains, aches,
nausea, displacements, wasting and de
bilitating afflictions to which sue is con
stantly exposed. “Favorite Prescrip
tion” is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, under a positive
ffuarntee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded. This
guarantee has been printed on the bot

for many years.
