Editor. faint session of the 1111- nols Legislature Monday ten Senators Md ftnjhNnn Representatives were absent. The only vote cast for United State* Senator was by Speaker Haines, who cast hit ballot for Mr. Morrison. MP*Mrs, T. Dudley, who attempted fc» kill O*Donovan Bona, was held In 98,000 bail Monday at New York. On the Mind she said that she desired to slay Rosaa because he was an enemy of Iter country. Judge Fuller ton appear* ed as one of her counsel. 99*Heavy rains and high tides flooded streets In New Tork Monday. The batcher stands In Washington Market were iuundated, and every cellar In West and Soutn streets were submerged. Slightly different in this section, the thermometer ranging from 15 to 20 degrees below sere every morn­ ing this week. * .« MSI' .""W had tbe following editorial a few days since: "BK CARKKL L. MR. HA1NKS. Mr. Haines may deny with so much emplitsls as he can command that he has suggested a corrupt trade to John A. Logan or "Long" Jones concerning the eleetlon fraud cases. We admon­ ish him, lv>wever, to have a care how t - ^ ^ . ̂ K * <• ~ . t „ i l l * £ i i a u i c c m o u c u i n i t li' «u> one should ciitugo thai on a certain occasiuu he catted at the ofuet of the Baity News and asked the editor to "let up" on the prosecution of Mackin, Gallagher A Co., we advise him to avoid any controversy on the topic. If any one should say that this rascally proposition was coupled witli the remark that an agreement for a truce meant fourteen votes in the lower house of the legislature, we sug­ gest that Mr. Haines still maintain a discreet silence. "We give him our leave to defend himself against but ono charge in con­ nection with the business. He may say that he was not unceremoniously thrown into the streets for his pains. But he should have been." The above may be ignored by Mr, Haines, but will likely receive the at­ tention of tho Legislature before the session is over: Mr. Haines should be investigated. IV A man who has lately been all otrer Oklahoma prospecting, was much disappointed. He says that not over two per oent of it la dt for a man to settle on with a view of making a liv­ ing by farming. Tbe rest is fair for grazing. If the settlers had been al­ lowed to go In they wouldn't hare found many claims worth locating. I^The New York World declares that it la perfectly contented that "Mr. Cleveland should have 'no other pollti- cal views than those which governed the action of Washington, Madison nod Jefferson.* It would be difficult to ascertain with deflnitnesa just what "views" Washington and the others entertained,! say, on the subject of Mormontsm, or ooncerning the Bland dollar or even on the qneatlons of oivil eervlco re for as or the protection and tbe maintenance of American manu- - factures. Mr And now it is asserted that President-elect Cleveland has not yet decided upon a single member of his cabinet and that no man lias been furnished a position in it. Neither baa he tbe least idea as to what his "policy" is to be--certainly he has not expressed any to any Democrat, Geo. William Cnrtls succeeded in getting an oxpreaasloD upon bis civil service views, but his Democratic friends con- strode tbe latter half of that letter as completely npaettlng the first half. If it were only a question of ti.e best method of hinging a criminal, how ^asy U weald be for him to decide. Chicago party lately (bought oiit a grocery store for 9700. After taking poaaosalon the Herald says Swlklo found that a lot of 800 cans sup­ posed to contain tropleal fruits, were either filed with brine, or empty; seventeen sacks, said to hold a quarter of a barrel each of flour, were rounded eat with sawdust; cans of tea were itnnd to consist of leave*, and sacks of coffee of cheap beans. The barrels of pi deles and potatoes were supplied with false bottoms and tops, and what was supposed to be two bushels of this nutritious esculent was In fact but half a.peck. The kegs of mackerel were similarly contracted. rOSTPONKD, NOKTHWKSTERN DAIRTlfUIS' ASSOCIA­ TION. Thrprgh a misunderstanding, the Nineteenth Annual Convention of the Northwestern Dairymen's Association was appointed to be held at Algona, Iowa, Feb. 17th to 20th, In conse­ quence of the Annual Convention of the Iowa Association occurlng on the same date at Strawberry Point. Iowa, the Executive Committee of the Northwestern Association have de­ cided to postpone the convention to March 10, 11, 12 and 13th, at Algona< Iowa. The meetings of this associa­ tion for the last three years have been the largest ever held in tbe United States by any similar organization. The value of such meetings in estab­ lishing correct ideas, in promoting valuable knowledge, in stimulating thought and enhancing the profit of dairying, are incalculable. Every farmer who keeps cows for profit* should make an effort to attend this convention. The representative dairy­ men of the Northwest will be present. Tbe citizens of Algona will see that full accomodation is accorded to all. Algona is on the Northern Iowa Div­ ision of the C. & N. W. R. R, and on the Iowa and Dakota Division of the C. M. & St. P.

IV A spectacle n«ver witnessed !« tbe history of the United States was last week seen in New York city. The president-elect was there, holding a sort of universal levee with the Demo­ cratic party leaders, in order primarily to make their acquaintance and let them get a look at him. We believe Mr. Cleveland la the first man ever elected to the office who did not have a personal acquaintance with most of the prominent men In the party which supported him, previous to bis nomi­ nation and election. Hence tbe neces­ sity for this three days' exhibition of himself, in the way that suggests. In spite of a natural disposition to avoid Ijipch a comparison, an exhibition ox. _______ WTbe New York Tribunk'm qther day printed the calculation of the London Echo in regard to the number of grains of oorn that would be on a chess-board If one grain were placed on the first square, two on the 4pcond, four on the third, and so on. Tho Echo said that the corn on the squares would fill 1,884,875 barn?, each holding 1/100,000 bushels, allowing 100,- 400 grains to each bushel. A clever Brooklyn correspondent, wbe has figur $d it out, says that the English paper Hto away off, and gives the follnwi ng as 'the true figures: There would be 184,467,440,737,095 bushels ot oorn on the squares, which, under the condl Hons named would fill 184.467,440 / 99*Montana, Idaho, and Dakota al Itady feel the influence of the Mormon •iipte, and if the political power of Jlormonlsm is permitted to go on for twenty-five years it will be tbe balance of power in every State west of the Mississippi except California and Ore­ gon. There Is no doubt that threats have been made against a legislative commission, but rebellion could not lsst long in Utah, particularly not in the Mormon stronghold, Salt Lake City. The entire city could be set on fire in ,ten minutes. The tabernacle and every Ipromlnent building In the place could 1m riddled with bullets and shells from Camp Doujlss in thirty minutes.-- Jomph Cook, lecturer. . GREENWOOD. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Miss Millie Garrison and Mr. Ed. Dyre are classed among the ;ick at present. 0 G. E. Adams visited at Harvard last week. Cemetery Aid Society at Mrs. Geo. Barnard's, Feb. 18th, 1885. We learn that Mrs. Sarah Rathery received a fall some time since, from which she has been unable to attend to her household affairs. John and Artie Pierce left Monday, tbe 9th, for "their new home. They locate somewhere in Iowa, In the agri­ cultural business. Mrs. Ella Taflt, nee Stewart, visited with the family of Job Toles week before last. Wm. Mansfield, who has been work­ ing a farm the past year in Wisconsin, is a resident of Greenwood once mere. The total receipt3 of tbe sale of Mr. Wills amounted to 9900. Is there any hope for Willie t Twice have we caught him napping, once In church and once leaning against the barn. On Tuesday night, the 3d, Ed Anners had a tipover and runaway. This hap­ pened between here and Woodstock. The horse went to the city, and Ed came home and slept composedly 'till morning. Wednesday morning he started out for a search. He found his cotter in the park at Woodstock, but little damaged, and his horse sate and sound In one of the livery barns. For the past three Sundays the pul Pit Of tbe Baptist church has been ably filled by Elder Swastivourt, a supply from the Seminary. To the believer It must be, indeed, very interesting to* listen to this able man as lie presents his theme--as It is, too, to the unbe liever. We are pleased to learn that the society have engaged the services of this man for an uulipiited period of time. The discourse delivered last Sunday evening is worthy the time and attention of any man--be he infidel or atheist. Through an Invitation extended by H. R. Baldwin, teacher of the Hebron school, to the Greenwood school to par ticipate in a spelling school held at the former place, two sleigh loads, or about twenty pupils reported. Greenwood at brat rather timid, clawed around like shrimps after food, but finally added tableaux upon tableau and succeeded in downing Hebron once out of twice spelling--the victors being Miss Anna Pro Jty of Hebron, and Mr. Frank Bar b»f wf Greenwood. Did we feel geod? Of course we did, and so did Hebron. The best of feeling prevailed through­ out, and the cordiality the teacher and pupils of Hebron gave us will not soon be forgotten.
