Wheat ships and grain exports mark week for America
Twenty seven steamers with 3 000 000 bushels of wheat aboard will leave American porte this week for foreign countries. Over 22 000 000 bushels of corn have been exported this year, as against 7 000 000 for the same period last year. This will ultimately make a hole in the big visible supply in this country, but it will take time even at that rate. Some crank desecrated the grave of Mrs. Theodore Tilton, in a New York cemetery, this week by dragging the body therefrom, and cutting out the heart. This was the work of some crank, who no doubt had long brooded over the Beecher Tilton scandal, and concluded there was something the matter with the woman's heart. Queer freaks in this world, for a fact. P. W. Marpen, the present incumbent will be a candidate for re election to the position of warden of the Anamosa penitentiary. The writer has known Mr. Madden since the time that both families lived in little old sod shanties on claims in Northwestern Iowa, and knew him to be personally a genial gentleman, in every sense the term implies, and as to his qualifications for this position, we refer you to his work there for the past six years. It speaks for it self.
