Fowler Leader (Rep,): The affairs at the establishments of the Chicago packers are not ao bad as painted. There is nothing sensational. Occasionally a poisoned rat would get into the summer sausage, but there was nothing sensational. Congressman Crumpacker did right in opposing the Beveridge inspection bill. Perhaps the packers will contribute well to bis campaign fund.' They ought to. Tom O'Meara, of South Weston street, was badly hurt Thursday evening while picking cherries at his home, by falling from a ladder. He is unable to tell just what struck him or what he fell onto, but be has the appearance of having struck heavily on his stomach and chest and is thought to be internally injured. He has two broken ribs, but at this writing is resting easily and it is thought will get along all right. The Rensselaer District Christian Endeavor convention held at Ambia last week elected Miss Glenn Day of Rensselaer, as District Secretary, and Miss Elizabeth Denham of Warren county, as Missionary Secretary; Junior Superintendent, Mrs. Mollie Johnson of Morocco. The County Secretaries are: Jasper, Miss Dell Yeoman of Remington; Benton, Miss Ellena Hail, of Ambia; Newton, Miss Cole Merchant, of Brook; Warren, Miss Bessie Rhodes of Pine Village. The next convention will be held at Rensselaer, June 7 and 8, 1907. After our 4th of July celebration is over the names and amounts of all contributors will be published together with ah itemized statement of each and every item of expense. Every dollar of the money contributed will be accounted for by the finance committee and it is believed that the expenditures will bo regulated in such a way that no one can righteously kick in any way. We hope to see the celebration such that every visitor to our city that day will be pleased with the character of the entertainment provided and that every person who has contributed to make the celebration possible will feel that good use was made of his money by the various co mmittees.

Criticizing political banking may be nonsense, but if so we have had a sufficient number of examples of the disastrous results thereof over the country to set the people to talking “nonsense.” It has not been so very long ago since Tom McCoy and the wide swath he cut politically and socially, and “Uncle Mac and his sheepskin band” were the pride of Jasper county Republicans. Many persons will remember Tom’s Mexican dollar and the beautiful little “object lesson” deduced therefrom during the campaign of 1896. Tom was always so lucid, clear and intelligent in a political argument, you know, and his exposition of the dishonesty of the “silver cranks” was applauded rapturously. Some of those same parties would be vertglad to see Tom shell out a few thousand of those ’ fifty cent dollars” now.—White County Democrat.
