If the democratic party had u few angels like Chairman Raskob, of the National committee, it would be a Rnap conducting campaigns. He re cently donated $100,000.00 to the com mittee. Democrats can no longer refer to their party as the party of the poor man. Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the late W. J. Bryan, who has been a mem ber of congress the past four years from the Fourth Florida congress ional district, was defeated for re nomination last week. Mrs. Owen, while an ardent dry, had promised to support a referendum on the liquor question. Her opponent, Mark Wilcox who won the nomination, is a wet. Minnesota has appropriated $50, 000.00, Iowa $45,000.00 and the latest is that Governor Uryun has spent a bout Sd.500 to purchase poison bran with which to fight the grasshopper pleaguc-. Forty of the ninety-three counties in this state have asked for aid in the fight. Twenty-two counties in Minnesota are infested and in Iowa all counties bordering on the Missouri river have reported the pest and there were indications that it was working eastward. Rain has killed some of the young hoppers und delayed the hatch ing of others but it is feared that with the full heat of summer the pests will fall upon the crops and ruin them be fore they can be harvested. The republican national convention, late Wednesday night, adopted the majority report of the resolutions committee on the liquor question. This provides for a referendum, the matter to be submitted by congress to the several states and the latter to settle the matter in state conventions, the federal government to reserve con trol of the question in the states that does not desire to be wet. and outlaw ing the saloons. The minority re port of the committee provided for the repeal of the eighteeth amend ment. The vote was taken on the amendment and 472 voted for the mi nority report and <>81 against it The administration was strongly be hind the majority report or the result might have been otherwise, as many of the slopping wet states voted for the majority report. The Nebraska delegation cast one vote for the minor ity report. j Brief Items While on their way home from u dance at Danceland last Sunday, Em met Carr’s auto was struck by lighten ing, on the Shaughensey corner just south east of this city and totally destroyed. Emmet and his brother, Patrick, were in the car and neither of the boys were injured. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Weekes left last Sunday morning for Rochester, Minn., where Mr. Weekes will consult physi cians at the clinic there. John suf fered a severe attack of the flu about six weeks ugo and his recovery not being as rapid as he wished, decided to .go to Rochester for a thorough medical examination. Mrs. Ida Ulbrich, who came from her home at Los Angeles, Calif., to attend the funeral of her father, the late L. C. Chapman and who has since been visiting her mother here, left for Omaha Monday morning where she will visit at the home of her brother for a few days and then proceed to her home on the western coast.

Hereafter these trains will run only from Omaha to Oakdale. So commenc ing Sunday there will be but one train a day. And the railrodas continue to lose money.

Knott Company fire appuratus, which will include a pump with a cap acity of .'150 gallons a minute.

Flag Day, Tuesday, June 14th, was celebrated by most of the business houses of the city by having Old Glory wave from the flag poles in front of their respective business places. One ardent democrat, not thinking that it was flag day, said he was surprised to see “so and so” a life long democrat, flying the flag today. He could think of only one reason and that was that it was in honor of the republican national con vention which is in session in Chicago and he said: “Why he must have changed his politics” and he walked up the street muttering to himself. To the old timers that remember the lain that fell over this county in the summer of 1894, just after the rain maker's contract had expired, we want to call attention to the rainfall that thoroughly soaked this county last Thursday afternoon. If you cun re cnll that rain you will remember that there was hardly any thunder and lightening and no wind, the clouds just opened up and the moisture fell down on a thoroughly parched earth. Many there were who wanted to give the rainmaker credit for the rain, ns they claimed they had never seen such a rainfall in this section before. The rain here lust Thursday was a dupli cate of that rnin—except that the rainfall last week was about twice as much as that of 1894—no wind, hardly, any thunder or lightening, the clouds just seemed to open up and in the few hours that it rained, 2.13 inches of rain fell,the heaviest that has fallen in this county for several years. | . i .—— Over the County I PLEASANT DALE There has been plenty of rain in this part of the county this spring.

At three o’clock Monday morning there was another heavy downpour of rain and some hail. Some of the farmers are going to re plant corn as soon as they can get into the fields. This will be the third planting for some. Miss Mary Claussen entertained the Thursday ufternoon Bridge Club at her home this week.
