THEY WILL PAY THE LIMIT The gentlemen who will have charge of the Business Men’s Produce com-. pany has been virtually decided upon, although it will be several days before any definite announcements can be' made. It is intended to press the formation of this company with all possible speed, but it takes time to accomplish anything, and necessarily it will require some time with this venture. It is the purpose of the new company to pay the highest possible prices for country produce, without any combination deals about it. There will be no officer of the market trust dictating the buying and selling price to this company- Instead, they will give the market trust a good long run for their money, by always paying the limit. All the farmers that were in the city Saturday were tickled down in

their boots over the prospects of an opportunty to sell their butter and eggs to some one not connected with the system. They say they have gone against the trust methods so long that any sort of a substitute would be a relief. EDITORIALS FROM MANY POINTS The national surplus for the year is enormous, but it comes out of our pockets, not into them. And it is the fruitful mother of temptations to national extravagance.—The Congregationalist Ohio's attorney general says he wants “to keep corporations in the state and see to it that they obey the laws of the state.” No state asks more than this, and it does not seem unreasonable. —New York World. — | Senator Daniel says a democratic ' candidate should not be too radical ior too conservative. That is a proposition as “safe and sane” as the declaration that the tariff should be . neither too high nor too low. —Nashville Banner. Mayor Schmitz protests that Judge Dunne is prejudiced against him. Having heard all the evidence in the case, Mr. Dunne would be a remarkable judge if he didn’t look upon Schmitz with some degree of suspicion.—Kansas City Star. It may be true, as suggested, that Japan wants to take advantage of this country’s unpreparedness and make war before the Panama canal is built, but why get excited? The canal will not be built for several weeks yet.— Kansas City Journal. We have had presidential aspirants who were good duck-shooting hunters

and fine horsemen, and it is not improper to have one who is a good swimmer or wader. The episode in the Yellowstone carries its special lesson to ambitious statesmen. Much may be accomplished in a year if due attention is paid to the lesson.—Chicago Tribune. William J.Bryan said in his homecoming speech at New York a year ago that the money the republican party had squandered on its Philippine policy would have reclaimed more arid land in the west than can be brought under irrigation, and the money squandered would have built a railway from New York to San Francisco that would have regulated rates more effectively than they can be regulated by law in a hundred years. The regard in which the people of Minnesota hold Governor John A. Johnson is a rare combination of affection and respect. They humor him for his ability as a statesman, his integrity and his success in forcing great interests to pay their fair share in the taxation of the state; they love him lor the battle he has fought against bitter poverty and obscurity to achieve the highest position in the commonwealth. Those who know him best say he does not know how to flinch- In adversity he never whimpered, and in prosperity he is unspoiled. He is talked of a good deal for democratic nomination for president.—Rochester Sentinel. Free Frisinger, Willie Burdg. Willie Hammel. Dwight Archer and Alva Buffenbarger left yesterday morning for Rome City in a covered wagon. The boys have been planning this trip for some time and covered a spring wagon with muslin preparatory to going. Each one furnished enough eatables to last a week and they equipped the wagon with all conveniences of a modern traveler and with a big yellow dog trailing behind the wagon, they started out. The boys expect to be gone a week or ten days and they will no doubt have a good ' time at the famous summer resort. | I

Officials are Keeping Tab on These Violations. One of the postal laws which is frequently violated is the one which prohibits placing written messages or letters in merchandise on which less than two cents an ounce has been paid The authorities are keeping a strict watch and are making searching investigations. During the last fiscal year postoffice officials and inspectors collected $59,065 for such violations. In thousands of cases a short note or memorandum was placed inside a package of merchandise on which postage was paid at one cent an ounce while the written matter made it necessary that tw > cents an ounce should have been paid.

BRYAN WILL SOUND KEYNOTE Will Address Indiana Democracy at No Distant Date. Lafayette, Ind., July 27. James K Risk, district Democratic chairman, received word today from W. J. Bryan, who is at Kalamazoo. Mich., stating that Mr. Bryan will make his first important speech of the 1908 campaign in Lafayette- He will be the principal speaker at the largest and most important annual banquet ever given by the Jackson club, of this city. The banquet is usually given on January 8, the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, but this time it will be several weeks ahead of time to accommodate Mr. Bryan. It is probable that the speech will be delivered about the middle of September. On August 14, Mr. Risk will have a conference with Mr. Bryan, at Remington.and the date will be set. In his speech here Mr. Bryan will outline the ideas of what the 1908 Democratic platform should be. Leading Democrats from all parts of the country will be here, and it will be a big day in the history of Indiana Democracy. o DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN.

A RATTLESNAKE STORY. The Voglewede’s Dig up the Best Story of the Season. Garrett and Ex-County Treasurer J. H. Voglewede come to the front with the best rattlesnake story that we have heard this season, and knowing the veracity of the two men. we publish the story accordingly. The scene of action was on the J. H. Voglewede farm four and a half miles south of the city, where it Is claimed by these two men that they killed forty rattlesnakes, all being of fair size and ready and willing to give battle. The snakes were stirred up in a wheat field, while they were cutting the same and getting it ready for the threshers and from all reports the field was literally alive with these

verminous reptiles and after a slaughter and the scalps were con® it was found that they had dispatek forty of the enemy, and at least fi many escaped. This is the recorii date and we defy any one to conei the front with a better one - 1 ' 1 o- . AGENTS WANTED.
