—The Montezuma Democrat favors
the nomination of Bestow. So does the
Chariton Democrat, Creston Democrat,
Burlington Journal and many other
democratic papeis.
—Keep cool, don’t worry, and act the
part of a patriot in this trying occasion,
and the count ry will weather the storm.
But demagogues of all sorts should ne
sent to the swamps.
—What will those whooping “free
and unlimited coinage of the silver dol
lar" fellows of the democratic sort do,
now that one of two props has fallen
away from silver V
—When it comes to a choice lietween
free silver, and it in unlimited quanti
ties, and state hank currency, we'll take
the silver every time. A 55 cent dollar
is better than any “red dog" ever made.
- Senator Allison says: I favor the
repeal of so much of the Sherman act
as authorizes the purchase of silver and
the enforcement, of so much of it as re
quires that gold, silver and paper shall
lie kept at a parity in circulation. Ibe
lieve that all currency should he issued
under the authority of the United
States, with suitable provisions for re
serves to secure the redemption of pa
per issues, and the parity of gold and
silver.”
—The latest American epic poem is
by Bichard Grant Wilder, read at the
meeting of the Society of the Army of
the Potomac. It is a production that
will live long in epic literature. The
poem is long, but we gr ceour columns
with one parting measure:
Land that wo love! Thou Future of the
World!
Thou refuge of the noble heart oppressed!
Oh. never he thy shining image hurled
From its high place in the adoring breast
Of him who worships thee with jealous
love!
Keep thou thy starry forehead as the dove
All white, and to the eternal Dawn in
clined !
Thou art not for thyself, hut for mankind
And to despair of thee were to despair
Of man, of man's high destiny, of God!
Of thee should man despair, the journey
trod
Upward, through uukuowti eons stair on
stair.
Tty this our race, with bleeding feet and
slow,
Were but the pathway to a darker woe
Than yet was visioned by the heavy heart
Of prophet.
—The Aiiamosa Journal, democratic:
“The ]HMiitentiary investigation com
mittee linished their work Monday
morning and departed for home, having
spent nearly two weeks in their labor
of inquisition. The iinancial report
was promptly forwarded to (lov. Boies,
but the exact substance of its contents
is a secret. Humor says Warden Mad
den and the general management of the
prison are commended. The members
of the committee were hard worked
during their stay and wereglad to reach
t lie end. They were all pleased with
Aiiamosa, saying it was one of the
prettiest and most substantial towns
they had seen, ('olonel Swalm indulged
in the subsidiary labor in hours when
he wa« not required to lie with the com
mittee. lie took pains to procure the
privileges of the mass for Catholic con
victs and Uev. Father Power will cele
hrate mass in the prison at stated in
tervals in future. In the woman's de
partment he obtained the abolition of
the red clot Its, of tin cans for spoon
holders, and of the measly salt and
pepper and vinegar holders, that have
been a disgrace at meal time. As a re
sult of the colonel’s intercession nice
table cloths now adorn the tables and
graceful glass holders are provided for
the condiments. The change does not
represent any great outlay of money
but it is more in harmony with the spirit
of gentleness and ideality that is the
propelling force behind true workß of
reform, ('olonel Swalm justly contends
that a state of needless oppression and
melancholy is not an element of re
form.”

Beware the Bunco.
The Waterloo Reporter tells this:
“Geo. Frey, a well-to-do farmer of Ben
ton county, is the latest victim in this
section of the bunco man, the transac
tion culminating in this city yesterday
in the arrest of one M. Page, who claims
New York as his place of residence.
The scheme was the Bame old one, re
vamped a little. It was a patent right
project to enable farmers to set their
own wagon tires, certain territory for
which Page sold to Frey for 81,(XX) in
cash. Page and Frey came to Waterloo
Tuesday, and hail the patent on exhibi
tion at Vaughan's implement house.
Then there was another party, giving
the name of 1). 11. Frlsbie, who owned
a share of the patent, but was anxious
to sell out. While the exhibition w’as
going on a man drove up ostensibly to
purchase some mower attachments, but
in fact an accomplice of Page and Fria
ble. The new comer was readily inter
ested In the patent right, and became
enthusiastic over buying a share of it,
offering Page S2O a township for cer
tain territory in western lowa, the
whole amounting to $7,500. Here is
where Page got in his work. He told
Frey that Frisbie was anxious to sell,
and that they could buy his share cheap
and make a couple of thousand apiece.
Frey bit readily, and negotiated with
Frisbie, purchasing his interest for
$3,200, payment for which was made in
notes. A f ter securing the notes Frisbie
disappeared and hasn’t been seen since;
neither has the man who was so anx
ious to buy into the scheme. I’age was
arrested yesterday afternoon, and will
have his hearing Friday afternoon at 1
o’clock, when he will undoubtedly be
bound over to the grand jury.”

OSKALOOSA, MAHASKA COUNTY, IOWA, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893.
The Board of Supervisors visited the
several places along the Des Moines
river suitable for the new bridge on
Monday, and practically settled on span
ning the river at Gateley’s ferry. The
probable cost of the bridge will be 820,-
000, and Supervisor Picken was named
the committee to secure plans and speci
fications which will be looked after
without delay. The location is about
three and a half miles east of the pres
ent bridge, and will make a difference
of about seven miles in travel to reach
Oskaioosa for the residents of the county
to he convenienced by the new crossing.
It was a virtual necessity, and Its erec
tion is a wise and just step on the part
of the Board.

Badly Used.— Johnny Jones, lately
returned from the insane asylum at Mt.
Pleasant, was assaulted at Evans Fri
day night by a couple of fellows named
Williams and Marshall. It. appears that
Jones is always anxious to shake hands
with whoever he meets and his assail
ants taking otTenseat this knocked him
down and kicked him about the face
and head. Williams first severely
punished the unfortunate and then
Marshall taking it uprepeated tlie treat
ment. Jones is badly disfigured, his
face and head being terribly cut and
mashed. The wounds bled pro
fusely and he is exhausted from
loss of blood. Williams and Mar
shall were promptly arrested, brought
to this city ami jailed. They are under
S3OO bonds with hearing set for July 11.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot resell
the diseas-d portion o'the ear. There is
only one way to cur* deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhumed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inhumed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to iis nor
mal condition, h*aring will be destroyed
for ever; nine eases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the‘mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Holla's for

A Good Skiiviok.— Children’s day
was observed last Sunday at the First
M. E. church, ami was bright in more
ways than one. Botli morning and
evening services were devoted to the
children. The church was decorated
with (lags, a very appropriate trimming
for Columbian exercises. The pastor’s
sermon in the morning was from a very
simple but beautiful text, “the rose
bud.” The little people entered into
the service quite heartily and easily
understood how a little boy or girl can
grow’ from a bud into a beautiful (lower.
These sermons, though prepared ex
pressly for t he child mind, contain many
truths deep enough to trouble older
minds. In the evening the children
gave their Columbian concert. An
educational collection w r as lifted
amounting to nearly twenty dollars.
This mone/ is used in aiding students
of the church who are striving, on lim
ited means, to gain an education in our
schools.

Oops of all kinds are in splendid con

clean and healthy and the smaller
grains gleam in the sunlight with a
wonderful luster. Timothy heads and
clover blossoms nod happily in the hay

country fair exhibitor could wish. The
Mahaska county farmer is seldom poor
and down hearted and certainly not in
this year of grace. The roads are now
in excellent condition and the business
or professional man, weary after his
day’s work, can not find a more restful
or inspiring recreation than an even
ing drive into the beautiful country
that surround us.
Last fall 1 was taken with a kind of a
summer complaint, accompanied with a
wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my wife’s
sister, who lives with us, was taken in the

the subjeet of the Sunday opening
of the world's fair came up when Rev.

President Palmer of the Colum
bian exposition. Before reading
he explained that the conven

ing anything about the matter in the
way of advice. The report, which was
adopted with applause, asked the
world's fair commissioners, on behalf
of more than a million people, to close
the world’s fair on Sundays.
Kotilli < urollna’s Liquor Law,
Coi.IJMDIA, S. C., July B.—The so
called dispensary law, under which the
state of South Carolina takes exclusive
control of the sale of intoxicating
liquors within her borders has gone
into operation. Although it is cal
culated that the state will probably
make a profit of f 1.000.000 on the 1,500.-
000 gallons of liquor annually' con
sumed by its inhabitants, the primary
object of the law was the regulation of
the liquor traffic and not the raising of
reveuue.
ASSETS ARE SMALL.

FIXED A DATE.
CoDgress to Meet in Extra Session
on August 7.
President Cleveland's Proclamation
Convening the Statesmen—Will Re
peal the Sherman Law.
CALLED BV CLEVELAND,
Washington, July 3. —After carefully
going over all the details at the cabinet
meeting the president issued a procla
mation Friday afternoon calling an ex
tra session of congress, beginning Au
gust 7, 1893, as follows:
“Executive Mansion, Washington, n. c.,
June 30, 1893,—Whereas, The distrust and ap
prehension concerning the financial situation
which pervade all business circles have already
caused great loss and damage to our people
and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the
wheels ot manufacture, bring distress and pri
vation to our farmers and withhold from our
workingmen the wage of labor; and
"Whereas, The present perilous condition is
largely the result of a financial policy which
the executive branch of the government finds
embodied in unwise laws which must be exe
cuted until repealed by congress;
“Now, therefore, I, Orover Cleveland, presi
dent of the United States, in performance of a
constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation,
declare that an extraordinary occasion requires
the convening of both houses of the congress of
the United States at the capital in the city of
Washington ou the 7th day of August next, at
12 o'clock noon, to the end that the people may
be relieved through legislation from present
and impending danger and distress.
“AU those entitled to act as members of the
Fifty-third congress are required to take notice
of this proclamation and attend at the time and
place above stated.
“Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States at the city of Washington on the
30th day of June, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and uinety-lhree. and
of the independence of the United Stales the
one hundred and seventeenth.
“UHOVER CLEVELAND.”
Goes to Buzzard's Bay.
The determination to call an extra
session had hardly been announced ere
there was a hasty departure from the
white house; and shortly after 4 o’elock
the president was en route to Buzzard’s
Bay to join .Mrs. Cleveland. Beyond fix
ing up certain western appointments no
other business was transacted, it being
the desire of the chief magistrate to
give as much time as poosible to the
preparation of his message to congress,
besides recuperating from his work
since the inauguration. It is under
stood that the president will transact
only the most urgent public business
while at Buzzard's Bay, and what of
ficial announcements are to be made
will be given out at the executive man
sion in Washington.
Feels Sure of Repeal.
The determination to call the extra
session the first week in August, in
stead of the first week in September, it
is understood was only definitely ar
rived at at Friday morning’s cabinet
session after giving full weight to the
numerous telegrams received from all
parts of the country urging this
course. And the consideration
which caused the president to
change his mind was foreshadowed
in a remark made by one of his cabinet
officers two days ago that if the presi
dent received reasonable assurances
that there was a likelihood of a prompt
repeal of the so-called Sherman pur
chase law he might be disposed to call
congress together earlier than he had
announced. It, is inferred from the
fact that the president has done so that
he considers he has obtained the assur
ranees which he desired.
Members of the cabinet who remain
in the city say the president's procla
mation speaks for itself and decline to
discuss the situation further.
Gcu. Tracey’s Figure*.
(Jen. Tracey, of New York, who was
the leader of the anti-silver men in the
last house and who will undoubtedly
be Mr. Cleveland’s leader in the next,
furnished the correspondent with some
figures showing the probable strength
of the silver and anti-silver forees
on a direct vote. lie first took
the vote of February 9 last, which was
the last fruitless attempt to repeal the
Sherman act. This shows 152 silver
men, 143 anti-silver and 34 not voting.
Gen. Tracey checked off the names of
those members who had voted with the
silver people in February, but who
could now be relied upon to vote for
the repeal. There were 15 of
these. making a net gain of
82 to the anti-silver men. With
these changes the next vote on the re
peal of the Sherman law would be 158
for repeal, 187 against repeal, making
a majority of at least 21 in favor of re
pealing the Sherman law. The fifteen
changes pointed out by Mr. Tracey
were only those he felt absolutely sure
of, and he had reason to believe that
the gain would be even greater.
Attitude of tl«e President.
New York, July B.—A Washington
special to a news agency here says:
“Senator Vorhces, eliairuun of the senate
finance committee, saw the president Wednes
day and in discussing the silver Situation the
president said: '1 uni In favor of the
immediate repeal of the purchase clause
of the Sherman act. 1 don't say any
thing about conditioLs being attached
to tho repeal. The matter of conditions
is something to !>e taken up afterwards. 1 have
not ahandouod my belief m the use of silver as
money. 1 never was in favor of the bullion pur
chase clause of the Sherman act. 1 consider it
fraudulent and deceptive legislation, which sim
ply reduce* silver to a commodity and issues
shinplasters on it. We might us well buy and
store up cordwood. That clause should be re
pealed at once.’"
11 rip* Wall Stri'i't.
New York, July 3. —There was great
excitement when the stock market
opened. Prices rose from one to two
points above Friday night’s dose. The
can rur a special session ot congress to
act upon the Sherman law with a view
to its repeal was of course the
great factor. The news had been
rumored about the exchange before
the close Friday night, and stocks had
been boomed then, as the bears rushed
to cover as quickly as they could. Ev
erything on the list scored advances.
The bears were heavy buyers and
in their eagerness to cover bid
prices up on nthemselves. St. Paul
opened excited with sales of 4,000
shares at (59 at <59% simultaneously.
Northwest firsts sold at 104% against
103% Friday night, and then jumped to
105% without intermediate sales. Rock
Island got up to 71, and St. Paul <L
Omaha to 39. There was good buying
ifoc investment account, and taken al
together a more confident feeling pre
vailed in financial circles.
Before the exchange opened for busi
ness the brokers began to gather
around the various posts and discuss
the probable action of congress. Occar
sionally one of them would propose
three cheers for the president, and they
were given with a will. Opinions
were unanimous in Wall street that the
law would be repealed and that the
president had wisely in calling
congress to meet before September,
it was argued that the big drop
in silver, owing to the closing
of the indiun mints, would make
the silver congressmen more willing to
vote for the repeal of the law than they
were before or may be later. The
favorable prospects were heightened
by the announcement that silver ad
vanced three pence in London.
Ficknurketa nt tli# Fair.
Chicago, July 3.— Thieves worked
the crowd ut the elevated station in tho
world’s fair grounds Friday night, and
as a result Dr. J. If. Albright, of Den

his pocketbook containing S3OO, and a
woman lost a valuable gold watch.
The robberies were committed while
the home-going crowd was thronging
the platform.
Kohbors Haiu a Depot,,

ganxr robbed the ’Frisco depot at Chel
aea in the Indian territory at (1:80 Fri
day night, securing about 1850. A num

but at this time the robbers are free.
Oue of the robber’s horses was shot from

ceeded in picking him up before the

tion of Impending European Dissen

Chicago, July 3. —Alexander, czar of
Russia, sent a message to his subjects
at the world’s fair Friday that was as
startling as it was unexpected. It was
a peremptory order to Russia’s army
and navy contingent at Jackson park,
doing duty there in connection
with the Russian exhibits, to re
turn at once to Russia. No reason is
given for the order.

is preparing for war, either offensive
or defensive, but they do say that the
czar will feel more comfortable if he
has all his soldiers within easy reach in
the (near future. Then, if the storm
cloud bursts, Russia will be prepared to
take care of itself.

Interesting Reports from Various
Trade Centers—Record of Failures
for the Past Six Months.
New York, July 3. Dun «fc Co.’s
weekly review of trade says:
"The closing of the Indian mints against sil
ver, the fall of silver bullion to cents in New
York and 32' 4 U at London on Thursday, the fall
in wheat to 02% cents at Chicago and 70 cents at
New York, the suspension of operations by the
miners and smelters of Colorado and some other
silver-producing states have made the last
week one of unusual iuterest Up to the pres
ent time domestic trade has not materially
changed since last week, though increasingly
restricted by monetary uncertainties.
Legitimate Business Healthy.
"Throughout the country, while collections
are slow and failures numerous, the condition
of legitimate business is regarded as healthy
and hopes are entertained that the worst has
passed. The hopes are mainly based on the
belief that the silver law will be repealed and
that the certainty of its repeal will encourage
foreign investments here. Lower prices of
products also tend to increase merchandise ex
ports.
“Chicago reports better accommodations for
merchants, and. though business is still some
what restricted, collections are less difficult
The closing of silver mines and smelting works
may lessen orders, but itts believed only tempo
rarily. The trade with farming regions is ex
pected to improve with belter crop prospects
and a larger export demand. Provisions are
steady, but wheat is at the lowest price for
forty years, though now held by strong parties.
The retail trade of Chicago has been much en
larged by the world's fair. Receipts of products
are generally smaller than a year ago and a de
c-ease appears In clearings and sales of real
estate and securities.
“At Milwaukee crop reports are encouraging,
but in iron-mining sections trade is much de
pressed, collections are slow and many exten
sions are ’asked. St Paul reports good crop
prospects, collections slow and trade quiet St
Louis notes fairly active wholesale trade, som e
decrease in collections and money in only mod
erate demand at 6to 8 per cent Business at
Kansas City is fair.but grain receipts very light
Omaha reports active trade in groceries and fair
in dry goods, and at Denver business is moder
ate and collections slow. At Cincinnati wnole
sale trade is larger than a year ago, but collec
tions are slow, money close and banks cautious.
At Cleveland there is no improvement in iron
or ore, and lake freights are depressed. At De
troit business is fair but conservative, and mon
ey close.
Prices of drain and Provisions.
“Wheat lias reaehed prices regarded as ont
of the question a month ago, uud yet the sup
ply in sight is very large, and returns from the
northwest as to the coming harvest are more
favorable. Corn is lower, with very good crop
prospects, and oats about 2 cents lower. Hog
products have declined t» cents for pork per
barrel and 15 cents for lard per 100 pounds, with
increasing receipts of hogs.
Foreign Exchange.
“The state of f orcign exchange indicates will
ingness to send money hither for loans or in
vestments. but the Hank of England by ebang*
ing the rate for gold shows determination to re
sist export to this country. Merchandise im
ports rontinue heavy, while exports thus far In
