We are for Teddy.
So far as the editor is concerned we stand for Roosevelt forpresident, first, last and all the time, and shall vote for himnext November. We feel that Roosevelt more nearly stands for wahta majority of the American people desire than do any of hisopponents. We believe he should rightfully have been the nomineeof the Republican party. That the vast majority of the people ofthe nation wanted Roosevelt was shown in every state where aprimary was held, and but for a corrupt committee system he wouldhave been regularly nominated by the Republican convention. Weare opposed to a system that enables a committee representing apolitical machine to thwart the will of the people and force uponthem a candidate whose administration had been rebuked from oceanto ocean and from the lakes to gully wherever the people weregiven an opportunity to express themselves at a primary. However,we are opposed thooth and toe nail to every State, District andCounty candidate that is or may be nominated by the Bull Mooseparty in the state of Iowa. If we were not we would be traitor tothe Iowa Progressive Primary Law for which we, in common withevery other Progressive republican in the state, "fought,bled and died" some years ago. Every Republican candidatefor office in Iowa was honestly and fairly nominated at lastJune's state wide primary, and as such is entitled to the heartysupport of every Republican voter, be he Standpatter orProgressive. To us any other course seems inconsistent. In factthe chief Bull Moose call is "Let the People Rule" andin Iowa the people did "rule" in selecting their State,District and County candidates.

Sad Drowning at Lansing
Lansing was the scene of a quadruple drowning about 4:30 Tuesdayafternoon, when a Mrs. Langford and her three children foundwatery graves in the Mississippi river. The family were engagedin clamming, the father and two sons were in camp on an islandsouth of town. The mother and three children started to visitcamp on a flat boat and a son started to meet and tow them downwith a gasoline launch. As he approached them his tiller ropebroke and the two boats collided, the boy in the launch and themother and two younger children in the boat were thrown into thewater by the impact and drowned, the other son nearly losing hislife in an attempt to save them. All the bodies have beenrecovered, save that of the mother.

Marriages.

Jacobia-Thyne.
Homer D. Jacobia of this city had been acting a little strangelyof late, but hardly anybody thought anything serious would comeof it until the news was passed around that he had "went,gone and done it."

A few years ago disease laid hold ofher, since which time she has been a patient sufferer, and attimes wished the the Lord, in whom she believed, might call herhome. All that medical skill and tender care could do for her wasdone. While unable to attend church, she frequently asked herpastor to come and pray with her and at times strengthened herfaith by partaking in the sacred sacrament of the Holy Communion.A few times since Pentecost she attended church, being brought inher invalid's chair. She loved the house of worship, and now sheseeth him in whom she believed, the dear Lord Jesus. Mrs. Senholzwas a spendid type of christian woman, good, a faithful wife,devoted mother, a true friend and good neighbor, who in thefullness of years has been called home to receive the reward thatawaite the pure in heart in the Eternal City, whose builder andmaker is God.

The Frauen-Verein attended in a body, theMaennerchor assisted the church choir in the song service and thefloral offerings were profuse and beautiful. Interment inPostville cemetery.

Oats take a Drop.
An unusual happenstance occurred at the Asa Candee place, nearHardin, Thursday afternoon of last week. Threshing operationswere in progress and Asa and Bert Burdick were hauling oats fromthe machine to the barn and putting them overhead in the barnabove the horse stalls. The most of 2500 bushels of oats had beenstored when Asa discovered a leak in the floor near one side, andarming himself with a piece of gunny sack, a hammer and a stick,climbed into and set astride the window to chink up the hole.Meantime, Bert was on his knees on the floor above, not offeringup her adorations to Deity, but pushing the grain back into theremote recesses. Neither thought the weight of the grain mightprove too great a load for the bin, until something happened. Ofa sudden one side of the floor gave away and the oats descended.Bert started to swim out, but the current was too swift, so hegave a lunge and grabbed a timber from which he dropped to safetyafter the avalanche had subsided. In some manner Asa got out ofthe window, crossed the stall and got over the manger into thealley way with no more injuries than a slight scalp wound, buthow he accomplished the feat in the few seconds of time at hisdisposal neither he nor anybody else has been able to figure out.A team belonging to Cash Smith was in the barn at the time andwere buried in oats almost to their ears. One horse had to beshoveled out, and the other was taken out by tearing down a pieceof the manger, but neither were injured. A number of Asa'sneighbors assisted him in hauling the oats to market Saturday.

A conspicuous and appropriate decorationabove the wedding altar was the Stars and Stripes and the UnionJack, one the loved emblem of the bride's country, the other thecherished flag of the groom, emblematic of the fact that theunion just consummated marked the joining of a United Statesmaiden to a Canadian man and that while each might always lovetheir own flag most, each would forever respect the others rightsand there should be no friction, for they would love each otherbest of all. Following the usual season for congratulations asplendid wedding super was served and heartily enjoyed, afterwhich a happy social season ensued until the eleven o'clockMilwaukee passenger bore Mr. and Mrs. Magee Chicagoward on theirwedding trip.
