OUR PREMIUM. To all subscribers of the BKPTJULI- CAN who pay $1.50 in advance for the year 1891 we will give our fine new premium map of Iowa free. This offer extends to December 31st, and applies, of course, only to such as have not received the map as a premium already. Parties who may be in arrears must pay the same in addition to the advance subscription. The season is a prosperous one, and all will be able to pay the small amounts they may owe the printer before the first of January, and put their accounts with their home paper on a cash basis.

NEW SUBSCRIBERS Paying $1.50 for one year in advance will get the map as a premium. THE MAP. The map is worth 75 cents and cannot, we believe, be bought at retail for less.

"ThoEngland iadeafenedwithtlie spinning people have not tho she is black with the digging of fUel, they die of cold; and tho she has sold her soul for grain, they die of lluskin. We are glad that Mr. Dunn of the Thorington has not yet decided to leave Algona as reported by some of the papers. He-has the refusal of the St.

Bilknap was found dead in bis bed the morning of the same day. They were both, Iowa men and their loss will be t'e-tt by the entire Will Haggard left Sunday night for where lie expects to find permanent employment, Will has been an employe of the SEPUBLICAN for a number of years and we are more than glad to give him the heartiest kind of recommendations. B. F. Heed arrived home Monday morning, the murder trial having been continued till the December term to allow it to come before the other judge in the Bedford district.

A change of venue was asked for by the defendant Foster and could not well be resisted. The Wigwam seems to be about as lovely a place as you can find anywhere. From, the amount of goods constantly going out and the amount received the wigwam is at summer heat all the time. We notice a car load of the celebrated A. Cooper wagons fceiog unloaded today.

Tlie story that a bicycle loosens the boards of a sidewalk is a ridiculous fabrication. A loose board rattles when a wheel passes over the walk, and the man who is aboard of the wheel can very easily tell when he is passing by the house of the shiftless citizen. The fourteenth annual convention of the Ia.Butter,Cheese and Egg Association will meet in Ft. Dodge Wednesday Thursday and Friday, Nov. 5th 6th and 7th.

M. Smith, living on the Slagle place east of town, sends in to this office a couple of large potatoes, the largest one weighing a little over three pounds. They are more like a whole bill grown together than like a single potato but the several members are all together, making a good potato showing. Hon. J.

P. Dolliver will speak in Algona Thursday evening, Oct. 23, and it is to be hoped the Republicans of Kossuth county will turn out en masse to hear him. Mr.Dolliver's reelection is an assured fact. Wonder if Mr.

Woods is willing to meet him anywhere in joint debate "from the rostrum to the corn field." We would call particular attention to the article in this issue refuting the bosh, about increased prices as a result of the passage of the McKinley bill, which appeared in the Upper Des Moines and the Courier last week. We have taken 710 small amount of pains to get at the facts in the case and have our information from reliable sources. A citizen of Algona makes the following observation and suggestion, which we publish for the benefit of Bro. Hinchon. The observation is to the effect that Mr.

Hinchon is a peculiar man, in that he would shoot a bicycle because he had a spite against the man who rode it, and the suggestion is to the effect that if Mr. II. will go home and count his beads awhile he will feel better, and less disposed to be splenetic. Bert Hallock, for the past year the popular assistant in the post office, retired from that position last week and took Will Haggard's place in the REPUBLICAN office. Mr.

Hallock has made a record of efficient and acceptable service which it will be difficult for any successor to come up to, and he has been as popular as he was efficient. El Daltovv takes Ms place and! already handles the'mails with the celerity and accuracy of an old band. "Wesley is a good town'" -was- the heading of column- article in bhe UD. M. of last week wfiich was fofflbwed by the usual ration of soft soap.

Whit- fiemore will get its allowance in a few weeks. Tlie soft soap is followed by a solJcitator Avho is making offers of the U. D. Ml for 1(5 months foe a dollar and! a half, and various ottter offers.as tlie case may be and 1 frequently is, as we are prepared to'sliow. Will Price is back to Algona again; an re'as soon as he is able-will drive buss again for Mr.

Leatherman. Will! is just recovering from long siege- of typhoid fever. He was sick in tlie hospital at Des Moines 'and came back to Algona just as aooir as they would let bun go out. From him it is leametl that IT. A.

Latta has left' Des Monies between two days, leaving soon after the State Fair closed, and many are mourning his departure 'because of unpaid bills. Next Friday is thu-date for the Republican county convention. The interests-of the Republican party and the interests of Kossuth county demand; that the convention shall its work well. The offices in the gift of the ceunty are of considerable importance and the interests of. the people demand that those offices.be well filled.

The right nominations will prove a source of strength to the general ticket and will fortify the party to a contain extent against future' surprises like that experienced last Louis Ware of Logansport lias been in town the past few days exhibiting Woodling's automatic check-iiower. Having had considerable expesience old fashioned chain aheck- believe that the device which Mr. Ware has been exhibiting is-superior to. anything of the kind ever invented before. No chain is requited and it is claimed that tlie planter is-just as accurate as any ever put upon the market.

A branch factory will be established in Des Moines. Thds check- ro-wer has been use in the East for some time and has met with, success. Ackley Tribune: The efleot of prohibition on the increase of population is illustrated in this part of the state in the following manner: Hardin county, a prohibition county, has increased 1,071 in ten years; Franklin, another prohibition county, has increased 2,551. Butler, another prohibition county, has increased 1,158, while Grundy, an anti- prohibition county, with, a magnificent soil and grand lands, has increased but 656, It is said prohibition has never been enforced in Grundy and according to the fulsome cant of anti-prohibitionists she should have made a larger increase of population than any of the others named. The figures prove that prohibition enforced does not drive away home seekers.

Sioux 1 City is a live town, and its people insist that they are up to and ahead of the times, but their assumed metropolitan 'airs are sometimes strangely in contrast wtth their natural arcadian manners. Hess' Opera Company Was in Sioux City last week and Friday night appeared in Bicol- letto from Verdi. The performance was attended by the elite of the city and the audience cheered at tho customary intervals. The curtain went down on a tragic scene at the close of the play, but the audience sat still for a full five minutes waiting for the circus to continue. It finally dawned on the minds of the more theatre wise that the show was over and a general stampede of badly disgusted and terribly sold people took place.

Grand Opera is a little too high for Sioux City. Several of our citizens have got copies of the Algona REPUBLICAN recently with a printed circular folded in it saying that if they would send their names in that they would be supplied with the REPUBLICAN free. Some of the boys think that it would be mighty dear at that price. They would rather pay $1.50 for the Courier and get a good paper than take a poor one for nothing (LuVerne correspondence. The above, like most other statements of the Courier, can be answered with three letters E.

L. but the letters are not arranged in that order. Produce a single copy of such a circular Mr. Hinchon and we will publish it. The printed circular referred to, simply notified the parties receiving the papers that they were sample copies and would not cost anything.

tttS in The editor of the REPUBLICAN was unfortunately out of town when this office was honored by a call from the editor of the Courier. Mr. Hallock had no definite knowledge of the names of the parties referred to by the REPUBLICAN last week, and the information furnished by him was technically incorrect, sufficiently so to afford a loophole for tlie Courier to crawl through. Mr. Stayley's father-in-law, Mr.

Cannon, lives with him, and the paper goes to Mr. Stayley's house, but we cannot say in whose name. Our agent was told by a member of the family that they got the paper on the terras we mentioned, and of this OUT agent is willing to make his affidavit. Mr. Wash Thompson of Thompson or was on the Courier's list, and according to his own statement paid for it in oats and received an encyclopedia as a premium.

It is possible that Mr. Swain not yet settled with the Courier, but be'was premised an encyclopedia and a map as premiums just the same, and the Courier has not yet denied it. If the. REPUBLICAN has been misinformed? it 'is owr misfortune and the Courier will probably be able to explain satisfactorily. Otherwise we would advise editor of that paper to pick a few motes out of his own eyes, that he may see more clearly to keep out of some ofi' the- pits that he has digged for feet.

NEWS, would oallthe attention of our correspondents to the fact that ail matter for publication must reach ui In no ease later than Tuesday evening of each week. Special Correspondence, BuitT, Oct. town is Still growing and we are enjoying good liealth hereabouts. Trade is good. Agent Cork is in Chicago transacting business and looking around.

Will Easterly runs his business during his stay. We are very pleased to note the fact that Carrie Goodwin took two first premiums at our county fair, one on an original story and one on an essay. Three dollars each. CARD OF THANKS. The undersigned wish to express heart-felt thanks for the very pleasant surprise on the evening of the 10.th, when quite a company or members and friends of Burt and vicinity came the parsonage, bringing a very fine upholstered easy rocking chair as a birthday present to Mrs.

J. R. Faus, which was received as a token of the kindness and generosity of tlie people at our new home. May blessings ever attend those kind hearts and willing hands. These tokens of love help to make life's rugged pathway pleasant.

J. R. FAUS AND WIFE. BUFFALO FORK. Special Correspondence.

BUFFALO FOKK, Oct. is nearly done in this neighborhood. Plowing and corn picking now keeps the men and boys busy. The first Mite society of the new conference year was held at Mrs. Butterfield's.

A large number of iadies were present. The next meeting will be at Mrs. Fowler's. The new minister, Rev. his first sermon to a large and attentive congregation Sunday, Oct.

2. Service every other Sabbath at 2 p. m. The progress of the church building is retarded somewhat on account of tardiness in getting donated labor, as was expected. Mrs.

Gillett made 28 little folks happy byan invitation to celebrate herlittle daughter's tenth birthday, October 7th. The day will be long remembered by all presant. Miss Gena had many little tokens of love and friendship to remind her of that glad occasion. Mr. Mathews, from N.

is visiting his sisters, Miss C. Mathews and Mrs. Butterfield. A fine Hambletonian colt belonging to E. B.

Eddy broke a leg while running. The leg was set but the break was a very bad one, and affcer ten days it was thought best to put an end to the poor creature's misery. Pi'ouonnccs Sentence on Itself. contained the Last week's U. D.

M. following: In SB last issue the REPUBLICAN discusses newspaper circulation and says: "We llavn't much space to waste on ithe Upper Des- Moines this week, but will simply call attention to some of methods we know it to be pursuing. Comment will- be unnecessary. The iUpper Des Moines is being given to subscribers for a period of 16 for the ordinary price of a year's subscription, $1.50." If this statement is true the Upper Des Moines, in view of what it has said, dteserves the contempt of every right thinking man in the county. The statement is not true in any particular.

We challenge the REPUBLICAN to produce the name-of a single man in the county who is getting this paper at $1.50 ifor 16 mouths. If it can name one man who is getting the paper at that rate, or who has made any contract with the publishers or agents to get it at that irate, we will relinquish all claims, and say nothing moi'e. The Upper Des Moines has sent sample copies for four issues free to a large number of people, a customary and accepted practice with all newspapers. Aside from tltat it has offered no inducements, and no reduced rates. Upon the truthfulness of this state- meat it will stand or fall.

Since the above appeared in the Upper Des Moines, we have taken the trouble to see one of those men who is receiving tlie paper at those rates, and he has given us permission to use his name. Mr, Ed Blanchard of Portland ia the man. On or about the first September the U. D. M's.

agent, Mr. Jake Frecb, visited Mr. Blanchard and offered him the paper for 16 months for the subscription price of 81.50. Mr. Bhmehard is now receiving the paper it at that price.

Now just keep these facts in mind and after you have read the above clipping from the U.D. M. again you will wonder at the severity of the sentence which the editor of that paper prononnces upon himself. Mr. Blanchard made his statement in the presence of three witnesses and we can produce the witnesses if anyone doubts that we are telling the truth.

Comer leaves a wife and eight children mourn his death. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, and were very largely attended by neighbors and friends. Tlie Republican Caucuses. The Republican caucuses passed off quietly last Friday. A few of the delegations were instructed but as yet it is impossible to do more than guess at the result of the convention.

Below we give the names of the delegates as nearly as we can ascertain them: Robt- Warren, Eugene Ttdlier, J..
