This has beeu determined by ilgures Just compiled which show that was the total of votes cast and that the election cost 91480.15.

a The water-wurksQf WlrUersct have been In for over a year and there are only thirty-three consumers. That must be a great place for the sale of Milwaukee water and the citizens opposed to taking a bath. The system of water works cost 800,000. They still report catching big flsh down along Grand river. Several have been caught that arc very largo, weighing from Wk to io pounds.

That would make a Coming llslwrmati who fishes along the Nuduway, fee! mighty big to cuich that sizud cat flail. Charlbon has been paving for years but recently they have madu thrco attempts at extending tho puvlug and each time made some error that prevented them proceeding There are lota of places that have fulled. Glenwood fulled, Uud Oak failed and other places fulled, but they go at It again. fm William Cubert, an Austrian blacksmith la Bbtemptldtf to board a freight train at Osceola, fell under 1 the-oars had both legs cut oil and he died shortly afterwards.

The Bedford frca Press says It Is going to support the republican ticket and wants to know "what you are go- Ing to do." They have a peculiar condition existing down In Taylor county. Mr. Hurt, received the most, votes lu the primary for representative and tho convention turned i down and nominated Edmunds. Tim i of the people, wo hoar so much about dictating tho nomination, fulled In Taylor. Thoi'G were 8,000 people Who attended the Hngenback-Wallace circus at P-id Oak the 4th.

Red Oak Is billed for the Sells-Forepiiiigh and also the Illngllog Bros, aggregations yet this year. The State tournament will hold their annual meeting at Bed Oalc on August 3, 4 and G. The city Is making great preparations for the event.

There will be firemen both volunteer and paid, from all parts of the state present and will take part, in the races. There will be a number of horse lire teams present and enter tye races. The prizes are liberal. There will be largo crowds present to witness the races. taw; either the repeal of the present law, or amendment the "direct" feature from tho nomination of candidates for state olnces.

The Red Oik Sun gave the following excellent account of the prize light and If all newspapers would give a like account prize fighting would gone beg glng years ago: The supremacy of a black man over a white one was exemplified at Reno, on Monday in a prize fight. As the names of the contestants are known to every person Interested in events of that character Immortalisation of the brutalizing proceedings Is not deemed necessary. Malvern Leader--Our good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fox worthy, have traveled life's pathway together for probably a longer period of time than any other couole in this section of Iowa.

On Saturday, 25, they rounded out an even (Hi years of wedded life, the greater part of which has been spent In this vicinity. They did not plan any elaborate celebration of the event, but their friends and neighbors were invited to call on them during the evening and about 00 of them came in and celebrated the event In royal good fellowship. Olarinda Democrat man without a home, to exist that Col. W. classed In that list, as Talk about a the fact seems 1'.

Hepburn is at Saturday's standput republican convention the stalwarts wanted him for a state delegate, and as he lives In Washington and only owns a home In they did not know where to locate him, so they placed his name on bhe delegation in this stylo, P. Hepburn of Valley township," and so it wont through. The fact of the mat- tor Is Olarinda Is solid progressive In every ward, and he stood no show. Thats the way Page county will soon be. Page county Is said to be sadly In need ot rain.

It bus not ruined at ShoimiKloah for over a month and the crops are showing the effects of the continued drouth. Ouly over ab Lenox they have hud none of the rains that have visited Corning and the most of Adams county the past throe weeks. They missed all threo of the last rains that visited bhls secblon. From I I llsca woBb to tho river It has been very drouthy, although they had a good bhe state con venblcn. The delegation is headed by Hon.

A. I. Stnlbh. Mr. Smith Is qtilto well known in the was a candidate for congress two years ago against W.

P. Hepburn. This In tho primary. He Is one of the original Cummins boosters In this section. The gentleman propounded certain questions to Judge Towner before the primary and before the Judge announced he would be a candidate and Mr.

Smith was told bhe questions would be answered Incase bhe Corning Jurist decided to become a candidate and they would be answered In a way to the satisfaction of the Corning gentleman. We have never seen a statement If they have been answered to the satisfaction of Mr. Smith, or not. Probably not. Now will Mr.

support Mr. Towner. Kind of like to know. We feel that we are entitled to know for the reason this paper printed a great deal of stuff for Mr. Smith and did It freely.

interact KKICS-- Celebrating the glorious Fourth, a man who knew how to handle dynamite at 8 o'clock Monday evening shattered evory rear window In the vacant building owned by C. Danforth on the east side, and Ramsey's furniture store. A hole a foot deep was blown where the cartridge was placed, At 0 o'clock a stick of dynamite was exploded In the of Marshal Eldridge's lob, destroying' the out-bulidings. An hour afterward another cartridge was exploded In the northeast angle of the court house that blew In every window except one. A hole a foot deep was blown In the ground, and the force of there some months ago to return homo.

Tho big tight is over. The nigger whipped Jeffries. all prejudices aside this Is probably the wy it should have been. In the first place Jeffries had no business lighting the nigger, and In the second place the should be left to niggers.

It seems to us that the time has come that a stop should be put to this brutal sport, but if the people demand it then lot the colored population do tho lighting. It took the nigger lif teen rounds to knocK him out, but at no time i the light did Jeffries have any chance of winning. He was on the defense all tho lime and took lots of abuse, but ho failed to land on Johnston with any results. Lots of money changed hands as a result and the backers of the large boiler maker are several thousands dollars wiser in experience. and Jamison.

TWENTY-FOUR YEARS Notfn from Ihe free or Juljr S. 1880. or lute According to the plans and speclll- eatlons long ago agreed to, H. K. Evans of Oorydon and ,7.

H. Jamison of OsceoU were nominated at the republican judicial convention at Oreston on Tuesday. Jiulgo Evans has been on the bench for several years and is known to a number of our rtadera, and at this tlmo we will say nothing further. Jamison Is a resident Osccolaand is generally re ralti of Red Oak orr Mono'ayT Do'wn'atOjceo'laand Olarltc county It Is said io bo very dry and crops are sadly in need of rain. Tho dust In the road Is very deep.

Truly, this county has been foreunate. Down In Lucas county there is considerable courtosy between the republicans and democrats. Two years ago republicans had control of the court house and they allowed tho democrats to hold tholr convention In It under tho primary law, while the republicans went to a less commodious placu. Two years later tho democrats were In control of tho court house and Uiis time they allowed the republicans to hold tlit'lr convention in the court, house while the democrats wont to a less commodious pluce. Tlmro is plenty of courtesy and dignity aout the politicians of Charlton.

Tlmy probubly all expect to be United States senators where courtesy is the long suit. Charltcm Is Kreat onsult. the explosion was so great that chips were blown from the solid stone walls of the court house. Ab 12 o'clock bhe fourth stick of dynamite was exploded at Moomaw'scoal yard, breaking bhe windows of the olllce, but doing little damage. The olilcers say tliab arrests will bo made.

Dynamite Is sold only by hardware firms, and tho men who buy Ib or have it In their possession are easilyi 1 located. It is probable that the a i i was done by "Joy riders" who were out for a time and wiio wore celebrating bhe Fourbb in an unusually vigorous way.

It Is claimed that tho arrangement was that In case of tho nomination of Townor for congress and thus creiting a vacancy In the judgeship, that Jamison a recorded standputter, was to succeed Towner. It Is said that Hon. A. I. Smith of Mt.

There was much complaint of bhe swindling allowed around bhe circus that had visited Corning. Quite a number of farmers--old enough to know babler--were robbed of sums ranging from $5 to by risking their money on snap games. A crowd estimated at 3,500 celebrated the Fourth ab Corning.

The arguments of counsel will be heard by Judge Chancy at his homo in Oiceola the middle of tho month and a Ilnal decision reached at an early date.

In i township there was a delegate who voted with the progressives and the standpatters said he was to bo counted with them, and tho same thing can be said of Prescolb township where there were two progressives who failed to stand-up and bo haltered by the standpatters.

These three progressives are being called bad names by the standpatters. Wo arc not going to tell what they are- being called, bub the names that have been applied to them may be found In tho Bible and refers to a Gravity Independent--The showers which have visited this vicinity have passed near enough to Gravity to cool the'heated atmosphere for a few hours tout that is about all.

The republicans of Taylor counby in thotr resolutions endorsed Taft, Carroll and Towner, but neeer said a word about the United States senators. They condemned the primary law, like about every other county did, both parties, and their resolutions on tho primary Is us follows: That, we commend the party for its desire to ascertain and give be Iowa the best form of state and party government, and we recommend that the party give.

He decides that May or Puilllps Is personally responsible for the which ho offered on behalf of thecity, and that bhe city fund cannot be used to pay It.

They all wanted the reward offered and it nob allowed to pay it through the public treasury they ought to pass tho hat and pay It that way.

The bankers of Kansas City and Of the southwest dependant on Kansas ity have agreed to Send no money to anyone who Intends to use the cosh 'or the purchase of a motor car. This aoycotb Is brought about, the bankers say, by the extravagance at the country in the purchase ot aubomo- pra biles. Thirty-two "''million dollars were Invesbed In motor cars In the last year In Kansas. One million dollars may be added to this to keep these motor cars In repair for the same twelve monbhs. "We'll have no more of Ib," say cashholders.

"If this thing up there is no telling In what condition the finances ot the country will be in a year from now."

We recognize the fact also, that from a financial point of view Ib helps bhe printer and the printer needs the money, but the law is a fool law and does not answer it designers' purpose, therefore we say repeal It. This Is written ab a time when it looks as if Colonel Palmer anu Clifford Thorne, both of Washington county, won; to be candidates for railroad commissioner. This is contrary to all good sense and feaaufi, wiuiuUO disparaging either one of the candidates. This is not what tho people want. It Is unfair, unreasonable, and Inequitable.

Why not repeal tho law? The costs a lot ot money, requiring a primary every two years. It coats about as much as an election. In bhls county It cost to decide whether J. W.
