Lowery is the musical director. If the features of the performances were as good as the musicians they would have a strong company. Prof. Lowery rendered his cornet solo in a very artistic manner. He responded to the encore by playing Aunie Laurie with variations. He certainly is an artist with the cornet. 919 CENTER ST. Phone 697. Miss Mary Rollins of Kansas City arrived in the city Wednesday morning for a visit with her nephew and niece Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Fisher whom she has not seen for eighteen years.

E. church Friday evening to a large and appreciative audience. There was no noticeable improvement in Boone's playing and his execution was of the same order as that of former years, however a new star appeared with the company in the person of Miss Marguerite Ward who is the vocal soloist, and her initial appearance in this city was well received. Miss Ward is the possessor of a flexible, rich, contralto voice and has perfectly mastered it. Her first selection, "The Tale of Life" at once scared for her a favor-ble impression among Keokuk's musical critics and she gracefully responded to several enchores. Miss Ward is a product of Glasgow, Mo., and this is her first season of concert work. Mrs. Lydia Moss Jan. S. All report a pleasant time.

Watkins, M. Thompson and Yussum. There will be a drawing A. M. D. Church Thursday. TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD BY GAS ENGINE IGNITION. Joshua Strothers, residing at 952 W. Thirteenth street, has invented an automatic electric igniter for gasoline automobiles. It dispenses entirely of all expense of ignition of the present day, such as hot tubes and batteries. Gas engine ignition is and has been a problem of the day, but it is at last solved by a Negro inventor. Ignition up to this day in time is very expensive, imperfect, and the mode of same unreliable. This machine is designed to generate a current of electricity directly from the motion of the engine of sufficient strength to explode gasoline in same. Mr. Strothers has been working on this machine for several years and after several trials, having made two others, the one now seems to accomplish even more then the inventor claims. It was patented last March. Mr. W. H. Humburd, one of our warthy citizens is interested and pushing the young inventor who is 18 years old. We are sorry that at this time we cannot print a cut of the inventor or the invention. CORINTHIAN CHURCH NOTES. The ladies of the Sewing Circle have purchased for the church a very fine organ which is highly appreciated by the entire congregation.

Third Street. A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Sunday was a big day at the St. Paul A. M. E. church, being the second quarterly meeting by the Presiding Elder, Rev. J. W. Malone of Muscatine. The services were well attended all day and at night as usual the large congregation completely filled the church. The Presiding Elder was at his best one might say, and from the way he preached Sunday night especially, he reminded the old citizens of his sermons 25 years ago when the people trembled beneath his eloquence. Elder Malone is seventy-one years old and his sermons are as powerful as they were years ago. There were two accessions Sunday, making twenty-one who have joined the church in three months. The stewards raised $200.00; the Trustees $70.70; the S. S. under Mr. J. H. Shepard, $70.00; gave the same to the Trustees; the Missionary Society raised $90.00; Sewing Circle $12.00; Stewardess Board $6.50; the literary society $13.00 and the Deaconess $4.50. Rev. P. H. Hubbard, general financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, suddenly died at his home in Philadelphia this week. He is known in the General Conference as the "$1.00 money king." Will say more next week. The Blind Boone Concert Co., appeared at the A. M. E. church Friday evening to a large and appreciative audience. There was no noticeable improvement in Boone's playing and his execution was of the same order as that of former years, however a new star appeared with the company in the person of Miss Marguerite Ward who is the vocal soloist, and her initial appearance in this city was well received. Miss Ward is the possessor of a flexible, rich, contralto voice and has perfectly mastered it. Her first selection, "The Tale of Life" at once scurred for her a favor ble impression among Keokuk's musical critics and she gracefully responded to several enchores. Miss Ward is a product of Glasgow, Mo., and this is her first season of concert work. The previous issue of the Bystander would have us believe that Gov. Shaw is our new Secretary of State. Take off your leather specks Bro. Thompson, go way back and take another drag from your corn cob pipe and then sit down. Three ladies were honored with requests to play the piano at the Boone concert but not one would respond to the wishes of that vast audience, but sat as silent as a sphinx. Here indeed wa an opportunity for the rendition of valuable services to this great gathering of representative colored and white citizens, but our girls of boasted ability refused to lift Keokuk and the raca into a higher atmospherr of social intelligence. Everybody says "good mornin Carrie, howdy do this mornin?" We understand that Mr. C, A. Harris has laid aside "The Honeysuckle and the Bee" and now sings "Hark from the Tomb Dead Coon." The choir of the A. M. E church is preparing a song service to be rendered January 26. There has not been a wedding in Keokuk for so long that people have almost forgotten how to act at one. From all indications the twentieth century youth is rather timid. It is said that Mr. Charles Teabeau has been examining all the railroad maps in Keokuk trying to figure out the shortest walking distance between Keokuk and some Missouri polts. The Bystander scribler would suggest that he also figure the running distance. Mrs. Ella Haley entertained Nellie Wilkinson, Mrs. Anna Bettis, Mr. J. W. Smith and Alonzo W. draine at a six o'clock dinner last Sunday. Miss Mable Nare will leave for Colorado Tuesday morning for a lengthy stay with her sister Mrs. Caldwell. Rev.

F. of Quincy and of state of Illinois, was in the city several days on business and left for his home Tuesday morning. A certain lady on North Third street will have to tell her gentleman friend to "take a seat way back and set down" if her friend appears from St. Louis. DAVENPORT.

William Jefferson Pollard, known as "the stouter of all Missouri," is now judge of the Fourth District Court of St. Louis. His voice, which is described by an enthusiastic local paper as "weird, wonderful, witching, powerful as the bass profundo, penetrating as Gabriel's silver trumpet, and sweet as an Aeolian harp," won him the position of reading clerk in the Missouri State Assembly, and in many city and state Democratic conventions. He was also one of the reading clerks in the Democratic national convention at Chicago in 1896. Fillipinos Make Good Servants. An army officer who recently returned from our Pacific possessions says: "The Filipinos, whatever may be their faults, make the best servants in the world, if you can cure them of petty thievery. Overcome that, and you have an ideal servant. At home here we are confronted everlastingly by the servant-girl proposition. Bring the Filipino men here and the servant girl will be a dead issue. The men are small, active and not afraid of work. They could be trained to do general housework, just as the Chinese do out on the Pacific coast." Watch Given by Walter Raleigh. Among the bequests of the late Dr. Edmund Croker of Lusnabrin House, Pallow county, Waterford, Ireland, is a gold watch which Sir Walter Raleigh gave to the infant son of Richard Croker, the direct ancestor of Dr. Croker, in 1589. Sir Walter was sponsor to the infant son, who was named Walter, and to whom the watch was given. Until a few years ago the watch kept excellent time, although the case was worn to the thinness of silver paper. Fend Exista in Wyoming. Wyoming has 35,000,000 acres of good grazing lands. There are about 1,000,000 cattle and 3,000,000 sheep in the state. Between the cattle men and sheep men exists a feud that not infrequently leads to murder. Sheep, as you may or may not know, feed in so close order that when a flock has fed over a range, not a spear of grass remains. Cattle browse at random, and leave behind more than they eat, so that the range may provide sustenance for two or three herds, one following the other. France Carrying a Heavy Load. With a national debt of $6,000,000,000 and a population practically at a standstill, with a costly standing army and an expensive navy, France is staggering under a heavy load. Perhaps her shoulders are strong enough and broad enough to bear it, but the crash may come some day despite French confidence in the stability and financial resources of the republic—Baltimore Sun. Estate Delays an Undertaking: At the time of his death the late Puvis De Chavannes was at work on a series of frescoes for the Pantheon. The painter Cazin, who was intrusted with the completion of the work, died in his turn. The frescoes are now to be finished by one of Puvis De Chavanne's favorite pupils. **Teo Radical for Arkansas.** The Hot Springs citizen who shot two men because they refused to drink with him pleads self-defense. But even in Arkansas it is hardly to be assumed that a man who declines to take a drink is so dangerous a madman that the safety of others depends on his being shot on sight.—Louisville Courrier-Journal. ```markdown ``` No. 32. First Lake Superior Ore. The first discovery by white men of the iron ore of the Lake Superior region was made September 16, 1844, near the eastern end of Teal lake, in northern Michigan, by William A. Burt, a deputy surveyor of the general government. In June, 1845, the Jackson Mining Company was organized at Jackson and in the same year it secured possession of the celebrated Jackson iron mountain. The ore from this mountain was first used in a bloomery at Jackson and afterward in 1847 and subsequently in bloomeries in northern Michigan. In the Woman Suffrage States. The four states in which woman suffrage is established, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, are noted for the radical changes which they made in declarations of political preference. In 1896 the fusionists carried Colorado by 134,000 majority. A year later they had 3,900. Utah gave Bryan 33,000 majority in 1896, and four years later went against him by 2,100. Wyoming was carried by the Republicans in 1892, by the fusionists in 1896, and by the Republicans again in 1900—New York Sun. Establishment of Dlyores: Establishment of Divorce. Divorce was established in Germany in 1875. From 1881 to 1885 the yearly number of divorces was about 8,000, while of late years it exceeds 10,000. In England divorce was established in 1857. During the years 1858-1862 the annual number was about 200; in 1849 about 550; in 1898 about 650. In Austria, where only non-Catholics can apply for a divorce, the number of demands for divorce increased 25 percent in four years, and in Belgium, about 20 per cent in four years. Plague in Many Lands. The plague during the year has been reported in the following countries: Cape Colony and Egypt, in Africa; Arabia, the Argentine Republic, Australia, Brazil, China, England, Formosa, Germany, Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Madagascar, Paraguay, Philippine Islands, Mauritius, Portugal, Reunion, Russia, Scotland, Straits Settlements; Turkey and Wales—probably a wider dissemination than has ever been known in the history of the world. Cost of New York Police Cost of New York Police. The police department and the board of education continue to be the New York city departments requiring the largest expenditure of public money. For 1902 the appropriation for the police department is $11,350,000 and for the school department $19,-263,000, subject to a reimbursement by the state of $1,200,000, which will bring the school expenses this year to $18,-000,000, approximately. Reminder for Forgetful Persons. Conspicuously posted near the exit of a Rumford Falls (Me) dry goods store, is the query in bold print, "Have you forgotten anything?" In the half dozen old years that the sign has hung there it has saved innumerable return trips for forgotten parcels and done away with months of worry on the part of customers with short memories. Chicago Law Field, La Crowded. There are said to be from 8,000 to 10,000 men in Chicago who have been admitted to the practice of law, but only about half of them are actively at work in the profession. The others have gone into mercantile and financial employments, in some cases from necessity, and in others from choice. Drinks Electricity in Water A New York man says he drinks electricity in water and it has made him ten years younger in a twelve-mouth. It restored his teeth, his sight, his hair, his lost vitality. He declares that a glassful of the water as he prepares it will produce sufficient electric force to ring a small bell. "Observation Automobiles." A line of "observation automobiles" is to be run in Washington, D. C., for the benefit of visitors. Each vehicle carries twenty-two passengers and will be accompanied by a lecturer on points of interest at the capital. The fuel is kerosene and the motive power steam. To Offset Heat at St. Louis. An air-cooling system on a vast scale is to be tried at the St. Louis exposition. Great fans will bring down a current of cold air from a height of 800 feet above the earth and pour it over the grounds on hot days. Sapitary Inspection for Dolls. In view of the instinctive fondness of little girls for kissing their dolls, the Lancet thinks more attention should be paid to the source of the material used in making and stuffing them. Italian Emigration to America. Italian statistics show the emigration to America has reached the figure of 160,000 annually. About half of these return eventually to Italy; the rest remain in the United States. ```markdown ``` NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, Jan. 16, 1902. A decisions rendered in Judge Holmes' court is of much interest to tax collectors and tax payers. It is in regard to the constitutionality of chapter 50, of the acts of the Twenty-eighth General Assembly, relative to the manner of collecting taxes on property not previously listed or assessed, as, for instance, where through oversight no record had been made of a certain property, by reason of such oversight, taxes have not been collected upon the property. Under the decision, the assessor may, upon finding that such an error has been made, go back as far as five years and levy such assessment as is equitable for each year of that time. Attorney General Mullan has received a letter from F. E. Rittman, auditor for the war department in the federal treasury department, in which it was stated that the claims filed by the state of Iowa for interest on its war bonds and war warrants would be disposed of by the court of claims. It has been expected by Mr. Mullan for someone to settle the case settled in the treasury department directly, but that they would be referred to the court of claims for adjudication. More especially has this been the case since the appointment of Governor Shaw as secretary of the treasury, as it was anticipated that the governor would not deem it best to permit the department of which he to be the head to pass on claims from his own state. It says, however, the course to be followed is indicated plainly in the statutes and that the law supposes that these claims shall be adjusted by the court of claims. The Continental Biscuit company, whose officers decided several weeks ago to establish a mammoth factory in Des Moines from which to handle its Iowa trade, has closed a deal with F. M. Hubbell, Son & Co. for a site and will commence work of construction at once. The city of Des Moines, according to the present plans of the local committee on arrangements, will be strenued with natural corp badges when the State G. A. R. encampment is held here May 21, 22 and 23, the dates fixed on yesterday. It is the intention to enclose the corps of the rebellion with foliage plants set out in the parks, on the river front, in the yards of private homes and wherever opportunity offers. The statement of the conditions of the state and savings banks of Iowa at the close of business December 10, has been issued from the office of Auditor of State Merriman. It shows a steady increase in the business transaction at the publication of commission by the last one issued. The last one issued showed the condition at the close of business September 30 of last year. At that time there were 495 state and savings banks in Iowa. At the close of business December 10 there were 501 banks transacting business, 281 savings banks and 220 state banks. The amount of money in the state banks of Iowa at the close of banks September 30, 1901, was $120, 466,645.42. At the close of business December 10 the amount on deposit was $121,852,942.76, an increase of nearly a million and a half of dollars. The Lincoln hussars of this city will shortly hand in their equipment to the adjutant general, as recommended by Col. J. A. Olmsted, the inspector general, in his report. The hussars are practically a defunct organization, and, according to Col. Olmsted's report, could not legally use the state's equipment. At a joint caucus of the members of the senate and house to select trustee of the Agricultural College to succeed L. B. Robinson, of Harlan, James H. Wilson, of Adair county, better known as "Pralie Jim" Wilson was named. The other candidates were the present incumbent, L. B. Robinson and Silas Wilson of Atlantic. Senator Hazleton was chairman of the caucus, and Amos M. A. Geary, secretary. The votes were cast in the caucus, and Mr. Wilson was elected on the first ballot, the result being as follows: James H. Wilson, 6; L. B. Robinson, 2, and Silas Wilson, 2. For the first time in the last six years the state auditor has been notified of the sale of Iowa school lands. He received notice that 160 acres in Allamakee county had been disposed of. No information was given as to whom the land had been sold to or as to the price it brought. The sale was reported and blanks asked for making returns regarding it. The state auditor has just transferred the other half of the school funds to Winnebago county. The transfer amounted to $1,800 and was transferred from Cedar county. This makes about $200,000 in school funds which Winnebago county has on hand, and the county is still asking for more. The eighth biennial session of the Pioneer Law Makers' association of Iowa, will convene in Des Moines in the state historical building, at 10 o'clock a. m., Wednesday, February 12, 1902. If we measure an adversary wrong the undertaker will measure us right. Session II St. Paul, Minn. J. N. Governor Van Sant has issued a formal call for an extraordinary session of the state legislature, to assemble Tuesday, Feb- fuary 4. The call sets forth that the tax commission appointed at the last session to revise and codify the laws relative to taxation has completed its work, and its report is now ready for submission. The session is therfore called upon to consider this report and enact such tax laws as may be deemed best. Vienna has a school for waiters, with a three years' course. Among the subjects is French. SURPLUS IS A FICTION. Treasurer Gilbertson Says It Will Be Gone in Three Months. Des Moines, Jan. 15.—Treasurer of State G. S. Gilbertson yesterday stated that the apparent $655,117 surplus in the treasury of state will be wholly dissipated before the legislature adjourns by reason of the ordinary depletion on account of regular appropriations. Members of the legislature have been figuring that the assembly would have at least $1,000,000 surplus which might or could be making extra ordinary appropriations for the fair at St. Louis, for the educational institutions, for capital improvement, for new buildings for the state, etc. All appropriation estimates had been made on the basis of the surplus, and the announcement that there would be no surplus at the opening of the appropriation year in April created consternation. Every time the discussion must be scaled down, if the state does not wish to create a deficit. Treasurer of State Gilbertson said to the members of the assembly who called on him: "There is now in the treasury $655,117.75, as against $795,752.48 on this date in years past. We do not present the excess of appropriations made two years ago which have been drawn out in the last half of the biennial period. In the matter of state contracts, the work is not paid for until it is finished. This will result in very large expenses. I estimate that when the appropriation accounts now outstanding are satisfied the state will be about even and the surplus will have entirely displaced. In March we may collect $75,000 in insurance taxes and thence $75,000 in an oven balance in the treasury. I cannot give the legislature assurances." DECISION IS VERY IMPORTANT. Persons Listing Property With Real Estate Men Must Watch. Rockwell City, Jan. 15.—The decision handed down by Judge Elwood in the case of White & Hoskins, real estate dealers of this place, against J. I. Benton, a farmer living near here, will be of general interest to land owners and real estate men as well. Some time ago Benton placed his farm in the hands of several agents for sale on the usual terms of commission, if sold. Afterward Benton sold the farm himself to F. F. Hunter, and notified some of the agents of the sale, but did not notify a White & Hoskins person of the fact that a sale of the land had been made, plaintiffs showed the land the following day to B. E. Sebern and succeeded in making a sale. When Benton informed them that he had sold the farm the day before they demand J's their commission on the ground that they had not been notified and that they had made sale in good faith, according to the terms of their agreeable treaty to the refused to pay $4,000. Defendant consumer objected claiming that he had agreed to a deal prior to the date of the sale made by plaintiffs. Judge Elwood took a different view of the matter, however, and decided that plaintiffs had made a bona fide sale and were entitled to their commission. Cornea of a Rabbit Grafted to the Eye of a Man at Clinton Clinton, Jan. 15—Dr. Paul Walter of this city, performed an operation here which will be watched with interest by scientific men from all parts of the country. He removed the cornea from the eye of a Belgian hare and placed it on the eye of Wm. Strickell of Anamasa, who had his eyes injured by a premature explosion in a California gold mine a number of years ago. One eye was completely destroyed by the explosion and the cornea of the other was so badly damaged that he was only able to distinguish between night and day. The cornea of the Belgian hare and as far as appearances are concerned, the operation was successful, although it will be three weeks before it will be known whether or not Strickell will be able to see. It is said to be the first operation ever performed to restore the entire cornea. The hare from which the eye was taken was strapped to a board, to which its ears were nailed. In order to insure success it was necessary to remove the corner from the rabbit's eye while it was alive and graft it as quickly as possible to the eye of the man. The operation was witnessed by a number of physicians and newspaper men. NAMED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Thayer and Sorley are Nominated For the Senate. Des Moines, Jan. 16.—The democrats of the house and senate met in joint caucus at 5 o'clock-yesterday afternoon and nominated for United States senators to oppose Senators Allison and Dolliver, Judge E. H. Thayer of Clinton and John J. Searley of Burlington. A significant feature of the caucus was that harmony prevailled and the factional strife on the money question was not in evidence. The question of Senator. Robert was decided not to nominate a candidate for state printer or state binder, for the reason that the democratic party is opposed to both of those offices. Mettie Given His Liberty. Cedar Rapids, Jan. 16.—Charles Mettle, who was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary at Anamossa for attempting to blow up the home of Attorney Cron, has been pardoned by Governor Shaw after serving eighteen months. A Miner Killed. Ft. Dodge, Jan. 13.—James Burgess, a coal miner employed in the mine of the Webster County Coal company, at Lehigh, was killed by the discharge of a blast. Burgess went up to see why the blast did not explode, when it went off, shattering his left side and infaring him terribly. Burgess lived five hours after the explosion. He leaves a widowed mother in deafitude circumstances. A bachelor always wonders what is the matter with a baby when it isn't crying. Hate is a low-grade powder that flashes in the pan. BIENNIAL DOCUMENT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Resume of All Men Freed From The Pen During The Last Two Years By Gov. Shaw. Des Molnes, Jan. 16.—Governor Leslie M. Shaw yesterday transmitted to the Twenty-ninth general assembly his biennial report of pardons, reprieves, commutations and suspensions granted during his term which closes today, the report being a part of and accompanying the biennial message of the governor to the general assembly. The report is made in accordance with the requirements of section 16, article 4, of the constitution of Iowa. The report is very lengthy and covers nearly one hundred pages of closely typewritten matter. This greater length is required because the governor during the term has taken occasion to restore to citizenship a large number of paroled prisoners, who were released from the penitentiary during his first term and even as far back as the terms of several of his predecessors. In many instances the men restored to citizenship did not know that they did not have all the rights they first had. In some instances a paroled convict of Iowa was residing in a New England town of several thousand people and holding an elective office of responsibility and emolument, not knowing that he could not legally hold such an office until he had been restored to citizenship. The large number of names appearing in the report are therefore accounted for to a large degree. During the term the governor found it necessary to revoke suspensions of forty-five prisoners in which he had misplaced his confidence, ordering their return to the penitentiary. A brief synopsis of the number of cases touched on in the report is as follows: Full pardons 8 Pardons, where previously paroled 81 Commutations 13 Remissions of fines, etc. 53 Remissions of forfeitures and judgments 5 Suspensions of sentence 244 Suspensions from industrial schools. 11 Revocations 45 Applications for pardon to general assembly 13 Total number of cases covered in TWO SENATORS NAMED UNANIMOUS ACTION BY REPUBLICAN JAN COACUS. Each made a Brief Address Expressive of His Appreciative of Honor. Des Moines, Jan. 15. The joint caucus of the republicans of the house and senate of the Twenty-ninth general assembly, held in the hall of the house of representatives last evening, by a unanimous vote nominated William B. Allison and Jonathan P. Dollier to succeed themselves in the United States senate. The honor conferred upon Senator Allison is unprecedented. He was nominated for the sixth consecutive term. Senator Blanchard placed Senator Allison in nomination and Senator B. Allison in nomination of Senator Dollier. There were several seconding speeches in each case. Both Allison and Dolliver spoke briefly after their nominations, expressing gratitude for the trust repressed in them. Senator Allison spoke with specially deep feeling and referred earnestly to the weighty problems which confront the government and the responsibilities which confront the members of the Senate. The only addition to renaming Bernard Murphy for state printer and Howard Tedford for state blinder, nominated John R. Carter of Sioux City for editor of the code supplement. KEANE'S FIRM STAND. Archbishop Goes Into Dubuque City Politics Dubuque, Jan. 16. — Archbishop Keane has promulgated a platform upon which he will stand for the coming city election, the archbishop denouncing the present administration and declaring that Bacchus and Venus now reign here. The archbishop's platform contains five planks as follows: First—Saloons closed on Sunday; no back doors. Second—Saloons closed every night at 10 o'clock. Third—No selling of liquors to persons under 21 years of age. Fourth—No selling of liquors to persons that are known to be drunkards or to become abolished. Fifth—The absolute abolishment of the wine room. The archbishop stated that he did not desire to appear in the role of a dictator, nor did he wish to work a hardship against any saloonkeeper, but in the same breath he declared that the saloons of Dubuque are being conducted with unbridled license and that a check would have to be put on them. In a word, he is in favor of enforcing the rules, that is, enforcing about the adoption of the five planks mentioned above than he is about the presence of curtains on saloon windows and the customary saloon lunch. The archbishop is now looking about for some level headed man that will be available for the office of mayor. He can be depended upon to put his platform into effect—one that will not "flunk" after election day. Mrs. Eva Ryan Dies of Grief. Codar Rapids, Jan. 16—Mrs. Eva Ryan and George Smith are dead under rather mysterious circumstances. Mrs. Ryan, a well known character of this place and her lover, George Smith, lunched together, after which Smith became violently ill and died. The Ryan woman grieved over his death to such an extent that on the following day she was found in an unconscious condition from the effects of poison. She died a short time afterward. The difference between a job and a position seems to depend on the galary. THE LEGISLATURE. Des Molines, Jan. 13.—Senate The senate was called to order at 10 o'clock by Lieutenant Governor Milliman. After the report of the committee on credentials the members present took the oath of office. The election of permanent officers, on motion of Senator Hubbard of Woodbury, was next entered upon, the nominees of the senate caucus being elected as previously announced without exception. Senator W. F. Harriman of Hampton, was chosen president pro tem of the senate, after which the permanent officers of the senate were sworn in office, and the senate was fully organized. motion of Crossley, upon motion of notifying the house that the senate was duly organized and on motion of Harriman a committee was appointed to notify the governor that the senate was ready to receive any message which he might desire to make. The former committee was Senators Crossley of Madison; Townsend of Monroe; and Closson of Marshall. The committee name of the senate was not notified by Senators Moffet, Bishop and Mardis. On motion of Senator Hayward it was voted to hold a joint session of the houses, Tuesday, January 14, at 2. p. m., for the purpose of canvassing the vote or governor. Notice was given that the seat of J. M. Emmert of Estherville, was contested by James E. Bruce. On motion of Trewin, the contest was referred to a committee of five to be appointed illiterate governor; another contest was filed in the Thirty-fifth district. Thos. F. Nolan as, P. W. Crawford, incumbent. This was referred to a similar committee. Adjourned. House.—The house executed formal organization by electing the officers agreed upon by the republican caucus. The election of W. L. Eaton, as speaker, was made unanimous, the democrats having endorsed his candidacy. Papers in the Fields case from Pryor, who ordered Bliley, secretary of state with the house. Upon motion by Teachout, the speaker was authorized to appoint a committee of five memoirs to make arrangements for the inauguration of governor and lieutenant governor. Before the session adjourned, Mr. Eaton named as such committee Teachout of old Marshal, William Gilchrist of Humboldt-Pochontas, Nagle of Van Buren and Whiting of Ida-Monona. Des Moines, Jan 14—Senate—The feature of the morning session of the senate was the discussion which arose over the Bruce-Emmert contest. Senator Ball, one of the leading democratic members, brought the matter up in an effort to give Senator Emmert, a democrat and the present incumbent, an opportunity to answer the special committee to whom the contest papers of James Bruce, republican contestant, have been referred. Senator Hubbard and other republicans at first thought this an effort on the part of the democrat to arouse the special committee to whom the contest papers of James Bruce, republican contestant, have been referred. Senator Hubbard and other republicans at first thought this an effort on the part of the democrat to arouse the special committee to whom the contest papers of James Bruce, republican contestant, have been referred. Senator Ball's only idea was to give Senator Emmert a fair showing, and the matter was agreeably adjusted by the adoption of a resolution referring the contest to a special committee and providing for the filing of an answer by Senator Emmert with this committee. The only other matter of importance was resolution, providing for a recourse of three days when the assembly adjourns Thursday afternoon for the inauguration ceremonies. Joint Session.—A scene such as has not been witnessed in Iowa for a third of a century was presented in the house chamber today when Governor Shaw read his message to the two houses assembled in joint convention. Through the efforts of the governor's friends, who considered it would be a fitting tribute to the man who is about to be secretary of the treasury, $10 government extended an invitation to personally present his message before the joint convention instead of merely filing it, as has been the practice since the time of Governor Stone. Senators Allison and Dolliver were present. The session then proceeded to canvass the vote on governor and lieutenant governor. The discovery of an error of 1,000 votes in the official returns from Dallas county on lieutenant governor brought proceedings to a sudden stop. The mistakes were E. Burgeson, deputy commissioner, who is entitled to $15. The result of it was the adjournment of the joint body until 2 o'clock tomorrow in order that the error might be corrected. Des. Moines, Jan. 15—Senate. A resolution providing for four policemen, three clerks in the document room, twelve jailors, three elevator tenders, two assistant bill clerks, one clerk in the supply department and a mail carrier, was adopted. A contest case, from Dubuque county, were ordered filed with the special committee already provided for. Adjourned. House. Senate resolution providing for additional employees was adopted. Cendall of Monroe introduced a resolution providing that no appropriation measure should be considered by the house unless indorsed by three-fourths vote of the members. The measure was enacted before February 20. It went over. The message of the governor on pardons was presented to the house. Joint Session.—The house and senate met in joint convention at 2:30 p. m. and concluded the canvass of the vote on governor and Heutenant governor. The vote was found to be as follows: On governor: For A. B. Cummins, 226,802; for T. J. Phillips, 143,783; for A. U. Coats, 15,659; for Affair of No Consequence. Washington, Jan. 14.—Secretary Long received the following cablegram from Commander Edward D. Barry of the gunboat Vicksburg, in answer to the department's inquiry regarding the recently reported clash at Niu Chwang between sailors of the Vicksburg and Russian soldiers: "Ying Yang (no date)—Secretary Navy, Washington: Nothing serious: crew orderly. (Signed.) "Barry." Worry often comprises things that never comes to pass. A girl does not need a musical ear to like "hims." James Baxter, 3,463; for L H. Weller, 780; for E H. Conger, 1; scattering, 1; total, 390,489. On heutenant governor—For John Herrritt, 277,171; for G. E. Ferguson, 142,583; for A. B. Wray, 13,095; for W. A. Jacobs, 3,391; for Perry Engle, 766; total, 387,011. Des Moines, Jan. 16—Senate. The senate session this morning was devoted entirely to a farewell of Lieutenant Governor Milliman, who has been presiding officer of that body during the last two sessions. The following resolution was adopted by a rising vote: "Resolved, That our sincere thanks be, and the same are hereby, most cordially tendered to Lieutenant Governor J. H. McCormick, of efficient and kindly manner in which he has presided during the opening days of the Twenty-Ninth general assembly. "We recognize that he possesses the indispensable attributes of a valuable public officer, among which are honesty, ability and faithfulness." "Realizing that his duties as president of this senate will terminate this day, we extend to him our good wishes for his future prosperity and happiness. During consideration of the resolution Senator Porter occupied the chair and addresses were made by Senators Harriman, Lambart, Jumelian Blanchard, Crossley, Garst, Hayward, Bishop, Tallman, Lister, and Trewin. After the ceremonies attending the inauguration the senate reassembled. Lieutenant Governor Milliman called the senate to order and, after a brief address, presented his successor, Lieutenant Governor Herriott, and conducted him to the president's chair. The retiring lieutenant governor spoke as follows: Senators: At the beginning of the session of the legislature, the assembly the state treasurer was burdened with an indebtedness of nearly $500,000, while you begin to pay a surplus of over $600,000. The wise and comprehese measures enacted by the two legislatures discharge of duty by the executive officers of the state, have wrought this remarkable time that we may remember that all things desirable and necessary may be accomplished with the men. During the period now under consideration parishism and local interests have been subordinated to the public; the gentlemen composing the general assembly that their good work be thus noted. The past and present opportunities, the future laden with possibilities. Senators: In entering upon the duties of the office, I have been honored me, it is both a duty and a pleasure to acknowledge my fellow citizens have honored me, it is both a duty and a pleasure to acknowledge presiding president, Lieutenant Governor J. C. Millman, and by the members of the senate, that I have been able to indicate though I have not been able always to indicate a favorable response to your requests or requests, that I have been no less considerate. It is, I assure you, my sincere wish that my conduct as your guarding officer will not alienate your good will. It is, however, but prudence for me to ask for leniency in your judgments as it has been done with our duties and with ourness affixes and administrative duties and but little with parliamentary bodies and their procedure. If, therefore, it happens that I am asked to hold a public hearing, I ask but the presumption of good intention be accorded me. I shall do my best to expeditie business and deal fairly with you and among you. Shall we proceed with business? No business of importance was transactional and the senate adjourned till Tuesday. House. After a spirited debate and after several unsuccessful attempts to amend, the Kendall resolution introduced yesterday, providing that all bills carrying appropriations should be introduced before February 20, except by a three-quarters vote, was passed by the house this morning. The passage of this resolution was the feature of the session, and the only important work done by either house during the day. The object of this resolution is to get all bills before the appropriation committee at the earliest possible date, that they may be reported back by the committee and time given the time for approval of the measures. Ex-Governor Larrabee was present during the session this morning and was introduced to the house. He spoke briefly, not desiring to interrupt the discussion on the Kendall resolution then pending. The house adjourned until 1:15 and then convened preparatory to the joint session. It met to adjourn after the inaugural observances. The house, like the senate, yesterday accepted an invitation of the trustees of the state normal school to attend the dedication of the new building at Cedar Falls January 30. "I wonder why they haven't started any yellow journals in Cuba yet?" "I don't believe there are enough Americans there to support one." The general—Was Colonel Bragg bounced bullets began to fly? The major—'Cool?' He was bawled cold he shivered a leaf. Numerous girls talk faster than they are wont to walk. "Henry, how is the plot of that sen novel running?" "Well, just as chapter there is a terrible storm, and the passengers are afraid the boat will go to the top." "You mean to the bottom." No; this is a submarine boat." Jones—"How on earth does Bluffman manage to get credit for his clothes at that swell tailor's?" Brown—"The tailor found out that he lived at the Hotel. Magnificent." Jones—"But does it it to carry it of with, the hotel people?" Brown—"suppose they judge him by his clothes." Keep off an honest man's toes and he will be a true friend. CORN KING IS SERIOUSLY EM- BARRASSED FINANCIALLY. Compiled to Close His Deals on Board of Trade at Great Loss, Chicago, Jan. 15. "Corn King" Geo. H. Phillips, unable to meet 10 per percent margins on rye, is seriously embarrassed financially. Mr. Phillips gave out a statement in part as follows: "The amount involved in my trouble of today is about $60,000. My custo- mers had their tradea well margined and if the trades closed out today bring a fair price I can meet all my obligations. "I was long about 1,200,000 rye, 5, 000,000 wheat and 600,000 corn and oats. Saturday a member of the board interested in breaking the rye market sent notices calling for an extra margin of 10 per cent on rye. "This naturally caused selling orders Monday and the report of the member mentioned, finding the market bare of orders, forced the market down 3 cents. This was done in a moment, and the news flashed all over the newsfeed consternation among holders of rye contracts, many of whom sold on a weak market. A decline of one cent in wheat coupled with rumors reflecting on my strength resulted in unusually heavy calls for margin. I was for the moment unprepared and the only alternative line was to close out. I have no excuses to offer and no complaints to make." Phillips opened negotiations with elevator men before the opening of the board yesterday in an endeavor to dispose of his rye outside the May rye negotiation through and May rye closed March 6 at 63%. Opened at sales from 61 to 60. The whole Phillips line was dropped into the market. Brokers acting for Armour & Company, however, brought nearly all of it and the market in consequence rallied sharply to 65c. COMPLIMENTS EXCHANGED Messages Between Roosevelt Art Emperor William Berlin, Jan. 13.—In connection with the proposed trip of the Hohenzollern to the new York, Emperor William, will embark on a voyage, in English, *t*President Roosevelt; "I am most gratified by the permission for Miss Roosevelt's performing the christening ceremony of my yacht. It gives me great pleasure to announce to you that I have ordered my yacht Hohenzollern to cross over and be present at the ceremony. My brother, Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, will appear as my representative and will be able to express to you once more my sincere feelings and friendship for the United States and their illustrious head." (Sirhead) "William I. R." President Roosevelt replied as follows, in German: "Yours majesty's intention to send over your yacht, Hohenzollern to attend the christening by my daughter of your new yacht is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction to me. I can assure you a hearty welcome for your brother, Admiral Prince Henry, to whom I shall personally express my sincere feeling of esteem for your majesty, as well as my best wishes for the Queen of the Coast." (Sirhead) "Theodore Roosevelt." GORMAN IS RE-ELECTED. Returns to Place in Senate He Lost Four Years Ago. Annapolis, Md., Jan. 15.—Former United States Senator Arthur Pue Gorman was yesterday re-elected to occupy the place in the senate which he lost in the general elections four years ago and regained in November last. He received every democratic vote in both branches of the general assembly, the only absentee in either branch, being Representative Charles county. Congressman William H. Jackson was the republican nominee. The vote stood: Senate, Gorman 17, Jackson 9; house Gorman 51, Jackson 43. Foraker Re-Elected. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 16.—The senate and house met in joint session yesterday and re-elected Jos. B. Foraker to the United States senate. Senator Foraker had practically no opposition, the division being purely partisan, the democrats supporting Hon. Charles H. Baker of Cincinnati. Every republican present passed his vote for Senator Foraker. Miss Robertson, daughter of John Robertson, a hotel keeper at Dinsdale, and Miss Mutch, daughter of Jas, Mutch, a farmer near Dinsdale, drove to Traer. On their return home their horse became frightened at some boys skating under the bridge over Wolf creek near Taer. The bit of the horse's bridle broke. Miss Robertson jumped from the buggy and in doing so broke one leg above the knee and the other below the knee, the bones protruding through the flesh. The break was badly splintered and the doctor says she will be lame for life. Miss Mutch remained in the buggy, with her for five miles. She escaped without any injury. The girls are about 1/1 year of age, and both were experienced in handling horses. Charters and Warson, tax ferrets, who are overhauling the tax books of Dubuque county, have through attorneys filed a petition asking the court to reopen the estate of the late Henry L. Stout, which was closed recently on approval by the court of the final report of the executors. The claim is made that $30,000 back taxes are due, running several years. The untaxed property it is claimed is shares of stock in Knapp, Stout & Company. "I'm so glad I'm dead," said the shade of George Washington to the wrath of Benjaman Franklin. "Why, my liege?" "I.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS DELIVERED AT DEB MOINES THE GOVERNOR SUGGESTS NEED-ED CHANGES IN TARIF. The Government Should Take a Hand In Settling the Labor Problem. Suggests Many Changes in the Law Governing Railway Taxation. Senators, Representatives and Fellow Citizens are encouraged to deep appreciation of the confidence and good faith of my fellow man, and I am solemnly taken of the obligation. I have undertaken and the responsibilities I have as a It is with mingled sentiments of pride and joy that we have been able to maintain conditions which surround and sustain its institutions may appear and disappear. races may develop and wither away, but we have been able to maintain them, and again be doubted. the student of state republic may be free, just strong, and end time and our people will be ground in all time and our people will be ground in which the demonstration has been made. The story of the marvelous transition of the United States from a populist strength we now exercise, is in every memory, and need not be retold. The history of the United States has a populist strength which has raised us above all the nations of the earth, has been the theme of so many books, and is always in our ears. The wonderful prosperity of the people is a theme so fascinating that charm and detail only makes the romance of manhood, so courage of our high standard of manhood, so courage of our high standard of free institutions, is so manifest the success of our scences need no supplement. I therefore check a natural tendency to present myself with these plain statements. The men and women of the United States have progressed meticulously, intellectually and socially than was ever before touched by the mightier physical and material development than was ever before known; and especially than was ever before touched by the mightier physical and material development that has more illiteracy, justice, government that has more illiteracy, justice, government that the world has any other government that the world has any other government. These observations, however, do not mean that we come have victories to be won and will be crowded with opportunities to be eminent in an inspiring retrospect to a hopeful future. Mrs. Jonkyns — "I see Mrs. Hoetong is going to have 'King Lear' at her next private theatricals." Mrs. Newell is going to have "The affected thing. Do you know, I don't believe he's a real king at all." Willel had swallowed a penny, and his mother was in a state of much distress. "I want my sister in the next room, 'send for a doctor. Willel has swallowed a penny.' The terrified boy looked up impolingly. "No, mamma," he imposed the minister. "I exclaimed, 'mother.' Yes, because papa says our minister can get money out of anybody." I am unable to agree that we can cure thems, but that we can treat them biosystems, by publicity. Their affairs are already sufficiently public so that every intel- lectual who is interested in what they are composed, what they are doing, and what they are earning. It is well to be careful not to be distracted by and submit to examinations, but if we are to limit our regulation to mere publicity, the attention we are bestowing upon the subject. I recur to an expression of a moment ago, "must rely to regulate the prices of the products of industry, for I cannot consider with it that every product would be driven if competition were eliminated. I sincerely hope that we will find monopolize or unduly restrict the field of a profitable business; and if these corporations, however large, can be put and manipulated, we believe that industrial monopolies cannot curtail. In pursuing the subject one step further, I am led to observe that if we accept the prices of the products we will preserve the people from undue exactions, we must see to it that if we cannot least be certain that we do not artificially exclude it. We have limited competition in the industry, and we must be well believing, that the general interests of the people would be better served by development, even though in so doing the American price rose higher than the foreign price; he would every commodity manufactured here upon a American level, so we have, even if it seems plain that whenever a consolator of the United States of America commodity stiffens competition at home, or when a consolator of the United States of America fairly stiffens, then it is the imperative duty of congress to immediately remove the artificial advantage of general revision of the tariff; to advocate of general revision of the tariff; to impose the republic if possible, but of the world if necessary. I regard the consequences of the importort product, as infinitely more disastrous than the consequences of foreign importort product. Permit me also a brief consideration of the importance of the question. Once I need hardly reiterate my profound conviction in the wisdom of the policy of the United States, but to equalize the conditions under which manufacturing has been established States and the conditions which have existed in the United States are more deeply indented to this doctrine for the gratifying position we hold in the United States. Now, as we have reason. Situated as we have been, the paranoid Smith—"What became of your friend Brown?" Jones—"Dead, poor fellow. Died by hanging. Smith—"What became of your friend Brown?" Jones—"Yes; hanging around saloons." "I say, is this here the novel you advised me to read?" said the cabman to the librarian. "Yes," replied the librarian. "that's the one." "Well, let's the cabman, you just take it back. There's nine people in the first four chapters who hired cabs, and each of 'om, when he got out, flung his purse to the driver." "We want that cabman, you literature. I'll go to Jules Verne and get it pure." TAXATION. The most flagrant defect in the execution of taxation is the escape of so exigent a part of the personal property within our jurisdiction from the view of the person to whom it is adopted to bring it to light can not be said to be permanent in its character, and, in order to be construed, must be entrusted with the duty that conspires to perform. Final relief will come. I believe that the tax dodger's growth of a sentiment that the tax dodger ought to be, and will be, a quickened process, makes the duty of the tax payer much more commanded the truth and sincerity. In deal with the assessor that is practiced in all cases, that there ought to be imposed a reasonable penalty upon the failure to list taxable morals, the tax payer forfeits his title to them, the failure to conceal conceals, and there is no stringency, would, in such cases, invade natural right. The penalty should be determined with reference to the degree of enforcing the law, and if we had apology of enforcing the law, and if we had doubt not that it would aid naturally the development of a sense of duty to the state of society with many persons, to be dead or dormant. with respect to net earnings, the inadequate earnings have much reason to believe that the railway companies with the various railway companies, earnings with the various railway companies, earnings in order to derive from the gross earnings, ought to be declared by statute; and railway companies as will enable them to railway companies as will enable them to net earnings upon their gross earnings. With net earnings upon their gross earnings, with respect to those railway companies with respect to those business in two states or more, there are insufficient earnings in the gross and net earnings thus ascertified to the gross and net earnings the way of a just assessment would disap VICKSBURG MONUMENT HISTORICAL BUILDING The state has made a beginning in the erection of an historical building. In the erection of that important and essential department of the government which is to be housed and the considerations urge the completion of the duties at the earliest practicable moment. The state which I believe meets the approval of all the members of the subject, must be delayed until the building is completed, is no adequate repository for the collection of documents, and other things that relate to the state. As time passes on much that is now inaccessible, and much that is now in the state destroyed, I am not permitted at this time to undertake the most interesting branch of state affairs; must content myself with earnestly urging the speedy completion of the work so well accomplished. LAW OF NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS will be introduced into the general assembly to cover the law peculiar to negotiable instruments covering the law peculiar to negotiable instruments in the attempt to create uniformity throughout the United States upon this imminent climation to motion the matter at this time. in an age like ours, when commerce is the business relations of the people which the business relations of the people couple of another, as with their own citizenship and when we reflect that law is but a law, and when we reflect that law is but a law, who are to be governed by it, the diversity of the laws of several states upon so similar a exchange is a reproach to a civilized people. the final moral remedy must be in extending the statute to enact a statute that will be general in its application, the principal of the republic, but in view of the difficulties that lie in the way of an amendment to the American Bar association, about three years ago suggested an effort to secure concrete action for the proposed statute. The proposed statute was prepared and been adopted by three or four states, and will unquestionably, during the present period, favored by several of the others, with no radical objections from the well known principles controlling Smith: "Hello! Fine day! Are you out walking for your health?" Smith: "Yes; I am going to the doctor." When a workingman has a job, the presumption is that he is an honest man, and when he is not, the presumption is the other way. Street car conductor—"How old is that boy, madam?"

We have been so well contented with laurels that the ethical and ethical vigilance is the price of other things that thereto, it is unfortunately not worth the must gird up our loins and quicken our step. NORMAL SCHOOLS Of the three educational institutions directly in charge of the state, I refer first to the state education department, which would be impossible to exaggerate the concern we all feel for the proper training of teachers. The mere possession of the knowledge that is to be taught is not the most important thing to be taught, but the necessity of training the teacher to accept as an established fact that the Fails is inadequate to accommodate those who should and who can take the course. The lack of the knowledge of the disabilities of poverty can be ploiled in defense of the failure of the state to furnish the make this defense, and I condomently predict that the session of the general assembly would be without supplying a wint so keenly felt.

BILLINGS’ PHILOSOPHY. It costa less to agree with a phoo: than to differ with him. — All men owe mutch more to chance than they are willing to admit. Men who luy the least’to make munny, luv the most to spend it. Old age tz a perch whare all the akes, sortows and illa ov life cum tc roost. ‘Ob&inacy mite be excusable in 2 wito man, but wize men are nover ob: stinate, : ‘The best friend and the Worst enemy than enny man haz got tz his con- “shlence, Luv, which is simply the resu:t ov fenr, will turn to hate the fust good chance it gits, Thare ts nothing that God luvs more, and nothing that makes tis all feel bet- ter, than thankfuliness. ” ‘The man who won't profit bi the experiences oy others, ain't a going to profitt muteh bi hiz own. Take all the folly and foolishness out ov this world, and thare would be but little excitement, and no fun at all in living in it. ‘When the bottom does fall out of a simply comik fool, he all goes to Pleces In such a way that he never kan be mended agin, All human natur luvs to tak the chances. Thare is grate fun in seeing how near yu can go to a mule’s heels without gitting highsted. Thav no doubt thare iz a perfecktly Honest man in the world sumwhare, but I will travel 250 miles to seo him, and giv 10 dollars for the sight after T git thare, To Ue well a man must have a greasy tongue, a level face, and abuv ail a smart memory, so that he can tell the same Me at least twico alike out ov 3 times.

A few drops of turpentine in hot starch adds luster to froned linen. Arrowroot tied in a thick cotton rag and boiled with linens and cottons im- parts an odor to them that is pleasing. English pottery with Dutch mottoes seems an anomaly and rather incon- gruous, but the effect is quaint and at- tractive, Candlesticks with” strange birds and beasts appeal to the eye. SiN and linen are woven together to make the handsomest table damask. Somfetimes the goods is brought out in mauve, gold and white and an es- pecially pretty pattern was all in soft rosy pink. A shelf supported by brackets and from which falls a curtain is a good scheme to conceal a radiator. ‘Then the shelf may be embellished by a large ‘brass or copper pot or a few pieces of bric-a-brac. To avold wrinkling bodices and jack- ‘ets they should be hung on frames such ‘as men use for thelr coats, winding the frames first with cloth or silk, upon ‘which, if desired, orris or other sachet powder may be sprinkled. Little used matting, as in spare chambers or upper summer rooms, should be swept very clean, then wiped with a cloth wrung out of swe. milk. Do this once.a year—it keeps the straw live and toa degree pliant. If the milk wash is used in a living room or on a piazza; follow it by wiping with very hot clear water to keep the floor from drawing flies —Chicago News. PEOPLE’S QUEER WAYS. Im the extreme north and extreme south of England some remains can be traced of the old style of harvest home, which was usually celebrated during September. Tho emblém of it was the Kern-baby, or, as it 1s called in the north, the kirn-dolly, a tiny sheat made of the last stalks of grain cut, tied with bright ribbon and carried home by the harvest que, to be aft- erward hung on the wall of the great straw barn, while the harvesters feasted on boiled mutton and potatoes and home-brewed beer and then danced till morning. ‘A party of Bedouin Arabs, with cam- els, horses and donkeys, which camped for some weeks at the zoological gar- dens ta Vienna, took with them, when they left for Trieste, seven Viennese brides, to whom they will be married with Arabian rites upon reaching thefr destination. All the women had prop- erty. Thirty others who wanted to take up a desert life were rejected be- cause of thelr poverty. ‘A traveler in Abyssinia writes: “We here found quite a new currency—thin bands of iron, 2 feet long, 1 inch wide, sixteen of which go to the Abyssinian dollar. ‘They are called ‘dorma.'”— Chicago News.

The trick consists in waking adudge, Whether it is a com- mon practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to in- @ulge in a nap in the course of a long and tedious argument, such happen- ings are not unknown, and it is well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for it.

It means raising and train Ing messenger pigeons. Within the last few years this industry has growr wonderfully. The governments of Bel- gium, Germany, France and the Unite States are training these birds to serve as messengers trom army stations. The United States makes uso of them more especially from ships. Nearly every one of our big: ships carries a coop of homing pigeons, as they arc called, which are released as occasion demands, and almost without excep: tion the birds go with unerring swift: ness to their home on shore, carrying a tiny tube fastened’ to one leg, which contains a message written on the thinnest of paper. They can be de- pended upon to go a hundred miles at a speed of fifty miles an hour when they are three years old. Special at- tention has recently been paid in France to the use of carrier pigeons by the cavalry. The bird is placed in wieker tube lined with hair to deaden the effect of the jolting. Three such tubes can be carried in a basket, which lg attached to the rider's shoulders in the same Way as a knapsack. The bird’s feet are drawn up and its wings are folded when {t is placed In the tube, and a light form of foliing cage ts carried, in which the birds can rest and eat during a/halt. Twe-ve men are sent every year from the French cav- alry ranks to attend a course of in- struction in the treatment and han- dling of pigeons at the military pigeon station at Vangirard. ‘The sense that guides the pigeon back to its home is ag much a mystery now as it ever was When set at liberty, i¢ tmmediatels rises In the air in @ spiral, higher ané higher, as if getting its bearings, th away {t goes in the right direction. -. nightfall the bird goes into camp nen water, and early next morning resume the journey.—Little Chrouicie, Sullivan's Instruments Sokt Well.

A Medical man as a rule dislikes to acknowledge the value of a proprietary medicine—in fact, professional etiquette dehails him from doing so. Yet there are many eminent physicians, those most advanced in their professions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of St. Jacob's Curie Compound from the fact that it is borne by an old and reliable company, proprietors of St. Jacob's Oil, from the formula of a brother physician, who to-day stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medical men in London, and on account of its intrinsic merit, it is largely prescribed by the medical profession; but, in the case which we are to relate, the attending physician called it "rubbish," but, as it turned out, Mrs. Nettleton tells the doctor that "rubbish or not, it saved her life." The profession graphically relates the particulars of her own case, which will doubtless be of interest to many of our lady readers: "I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, when a little pamphlet was placed in my hands, and, although at that time I had been bedridden for more than six months, I determined, after reading some of the wonderful testimonials thereof of cases similar to mine, which had been completely cured by the timely use of Vogeler's Curative Compound, to try some, especially as my doctors fused to even benefit me, and, never given up in the past, I never being well at it. It is most interesting, and, in fact, marvelous to relate, that the very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me. It was not long before I was able to get up and about; three months from taking the first dose I was enjoying better health than I had been for fourteen years. I continued well until a few months back, when I was taken ill again, my troubles being dyspepsia and constipation. I had a doctor attending me for a month, but continued to grow worse, until I again found myself by old medicine, Vogeler's Curative Compound, which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctor's medicine; at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days, but Vogeler's Curative Compound, soapy and creamy, made me a second time, but, of course, this attack was not as bad as the first, yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogeler's Curative Compound. If I had only thought to have taken it when my last illness took place, I should not only have been saved much suffering, but a 715 doctor's bill." Mrs. Nettleton said: "I have recommended Vogeler's Compound for indigestion and eczema, and in any case it has proved a cure beyond doubt. Mr. Swinbank, our chemist, has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound. By the way, the proprietors have so much luck and dance for London physician's advice, that they will send a sample free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper." St. Jacob's Oll Co, 205 Clay Street Md. Md. Mrs. Nettleton is a confectioner, in the Brighton Road, where she has been established many years, and is honored and respected by all classes. Her statements as regards Vogeler's Curative Compound may, therefore, be regarded as reliable evidence of its great value. The public, however, may look upon this remarkable statement as one of the many which are particularly from grateful people all over the world, who have been cured of various malades by the use of this wonderful remedy, which is the result of an ancient physician's life-long experience. These people are nearly always representative and well-known citizens. The native Indian tribes of Alaska number 29,536, a gain of 4,182 in ten years.

The constitution of this commonwealth requires the governor to the General Assembly the condition of the state, together with such recourse as may be necessary to obedience to this mandate I have the honour to submit the following: Total government revenue during the last term, July 1, 1890, to July 1, 1901, agreed to $5,120,003.54 added to this treasury balance July 1, 1890. 445,002.37 Total revenue. . . $5,065,001.01 Outstanding. . . $5,065,001.01 of the beginning of the term. . . $20,708.85 during the term. 4,420,103.70 $4,450,002.05 Balance. $1,114,158.00 Balance..... $1,114,159.88 Outstanding warrants June 50, 1901..... 29,728.31 Balance in the treasury June 50, 1901..... $1,143,883.17 At the close of business Dec. 31, 1902, there was in the treasury 780,527.75 The following is a partial list of the applications that will be urged at your instructions: For institutions under the management of the State or the excess of ordinary operating expenses..... $ 648,000 The payment of regents of the State University as including No. fear building. For State historical society (including $1,500 additional annual allowance) allowance) ..... building .....

For state, library commission (add- honal annual allowance of Institution information ..... 2,000 $3,000) ..... 10,000 For new normal school ..... $74,700 Total. In the two accounts asked in the foregoing list are all needed, and it would be gratifying if they could all be granted. In the case of this session of the general assembly cannot grant them all without incurring an additional cost, and therefore submitted with but this suggestion, that if any additional buildings are added, a permanent character. For many years the policy prevailed of building should do so long in the root did not leak, nor the walls cave. A wise depreciation would be a new hospital for the insane at Cherokee, the Liberal Arts building at Iowa City, and a new hospital for the insane at Cedar Falls are excellent in character. Those competent to judge have used this character with the hospital for the insane at Cherokee: "The work may be performed with a plaster and more completely equipped hospital, but it has none better than the commodious buildings of modern architecture, and of strictly fireproof construction, has passed, let it be Our state education department should be liberally dealt with. It takes money to build a university with institutions that are the recipients of donations aggregating millions of dollars of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts at Ames. The University of Chicago expects to sponsor the construction of an animal husbandry, believing there is no place where such work can be done. It is an endorsement that should commend the institution to the very favorable consideration. During the past year, both the State University Mechanic Arts lot useful, though not valuable, buildings, Temporary relief was used for the faculty, and the faculty资金, wisely provided by the last general assembly, Commodities and personnel, to the annual School is overcrowded. The attendance (over 2,000) in the annual School is cared for with best results under one management. Two years ago I recommended schools to be equipped and put in operation from time to time as the finances of the location of four, in view of the fact that every student must be located at the location of four. In view of the fact that every student must be located at one time without serious difficulty. The attempt way defended it as usual. In this connection, I again call attention to the rural districts. The average country school teacher receives less than $25 per month, and in any other northern state, and less than in several southern states. It must be that the state for the public schools is especially unfortunate that the rural schools are of such a character that the average farmer boy leaves at fourteen or fifteen years of age, painfully apparent in ten years, if it is not painfully apparent in ten years. If it is not painfully apparent in ten years, the schools will meet the demand or cure the eell. I planed for those who begin at five years of age and continue until graduation with a child from a rural community. I have in previous communications discussed this belief and considered consideration. I have received consideration—wise consideration. I think—from the superintendent of public instruction. I believe with that certain consideration—wise consideration. In some hotels the louder the gon the less there is to eat. When asked what he thought of a certain captain who frequented the Essex links, a scotch caddie said: "Weel, weel, weel." The captain, a good gaufer, but he's awful' nerra—awful' nerra. "Narrow!

This action was not taken for the purpose L. R. Stockwell, the popular actor, says that some years ago in Chicago when Peter Jackson, the colored pupil of the Cabin, "Bill Nye was to have lecured at the Baldwin theatre, but was greeted by so small an audience that he excused himself and went over to hear Jackson talking of the past. After a performance Stockwell met Nye in the lobby of the theatre, and exclaimed: 'Hello, Nye! What did you think of Peter, Nye!' responded the humorist, dryly, 'but I was great, but Uncle Tomically he is the worst I ever saw.' of escaping responsibility, but in view of the fact that the present and previous railroads annually in the month of March and equalize annually in the month of July following. It does not contemplate a revision of the railroad assessment already thought. Justify the recommendation. In March, 1899, the railroads were assessed at the previous year, but in July following it was found that real estate had been foreclosed. Before, in March, 1901, while the railroads were assessed July it was found that real estate had been assessed $14,000,000 higher than in 1890. Vided for the employment of a parole clerk in the office of the chief executive. This proval of the policy which has grown up in the state of granting conditional pensions; I have been able to investigate to some extent the practical workings of the parole clerk. The investigations made by the bureau of the state are of great importance, and the report will be found interesting and valuable.

No fire of any kind is allowed on board of these vessels. Most of them have electric plants for lighting and the sailors argue that heating arrangements can be installed cheaply.

A Michigan Farmer Vills Saskatoon and Is Well Planned. Mr. S. K. Lent is a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by road, onto the countryside of the vicinity a rich, blue beam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; no one one done, and the garden and garden track, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and when often cut 3 to 4 tons of grass for the farm, passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetaskin Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Regina, shence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a country, with a farmhouse, Rostherne and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves—one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as a stock country.

Those who are anxious try its effects renounce only water with their meals. They are required to make up for the water they avoid at meals by the amount to be drunk during the day. Not less than two quarts of water is the daily allowance. The results are soon noticed and are said to be as lasting as those of any other method of reduction. New Glacier Yosemite There are reports of a wonderful new kind of bear called the "Japanese White Mammoth," grown in fattogara County, Texas. It is of giant size, and is said to yield 87 barrals to the acre. Original Meaning of Prejudice. Prejudice was originally nothing more than a judgment formed beforehand, the character of such judgments being best indicated by the present meaning of the word. State Proud of Miss Kellar. Miss Helen Kellar is an Alabama girl. She was born in Tuscumbia, and the people of Alabama have always been proud of her wonderful career. NOTICE OF EXPIRATION You are hereby notified, that the following described real estate, situated in Polk County, Iowa, to-wit: Lot Thirteen (13) Block B, Des Moines Co. Addition to town of Polk City, Iowa, was sold for the taxes of 1895, 1896 and 1897 on the fifth day of December, 1898 to J. L Sands. That the certificate of sale thereof has been assigned to and is now owned and held by J. W Reigel, and that the right of repayment, Trustee Deed for said land will be made unless redemption from such sale be made within ninety days from the date of completed service of this notice. You will govern yourself accordingly. Dated Seventh day of November, A. Dated, 1901. Owner of certificate Owner of certificate Chile Becks Steamship Line Chile Seeks Steamship Line. Senor Salvador Cafiero has presented to the Chilean government a project for a new fast line of steamers between the Pacific and Mediterranean ports, with headquarters at Valparaiso and a capital and a number of million sterling in 20,000 shares, a subvention granted on condition that the steamers should be armed as warships. Immigration from Europe More immigrants are said to be arriving from Europe this year than ever before. Most of them come from southern Europe and Scandinavia. Italy furnishes the largest quota this season. Most of them are coming trest to work on railroad extensions to the Burlington, Union Pacific and Great Northern. Italians, it is said are the best track workers that can be obtained, and they are replacing the Chinese heretofore employed by the railroads on the Pacific coast. Latest End of Critics The latest fad of critics, the New York Press says, is to rebel against the names of months. They point out that it is absurd for Europeans and Americans of today to dedicate one-sixth of the year to the memory of Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name a third after heathen gods and goddesses, to have two months of doubtful nomenclature, and to designate the remaining four by misleading numericals, September being obviously ninth and not seventh in order. "Paperling Up" Silk Goods Silk goods should not be folded in white paper, as the chloride of lime used in bleaching the paper will impare the color of the silk. Brown or blue paper is better; yellow India paper is better still. Silk intended for dress should not be kept in the house long, as lying in folds causes it to crack or split. White satin dresses should be pinned up in blue paper, with coarse brown paper on the outside, sewed together at the edges. Lord Chancellor of England. Lord Halsbury, the Lord Chancellor of England, in the son of Dr. Stanley Lees Giffard, who was editor of the London Standard for twenty-seven years. His grandfather, a noted Dublin politician of the union period, John Giffard, had for more than a generation the sole editorial control of the Dublin Journal, which had been started and for fifty year edited by George Faulkner, the friend of Swift and Chesterfield. Freeman's Nevada Farm Daniel Freeman, of Sage county, Nevada, owns and occupies the first farm given away by the United States government under the homestead act. His original entry of 160 acres has expanded to a farm of 1,200 acres. Of Interest to Investors. British consols draw more interest than United States 2 per cents, but are at a discount of 7 per cent, while our 2 per cent bonds command a premium of 8 per cent. Had seen enough of show. An Oklahoma paper tells of a farmer who went to town and thought he would treat himself by attending an opera. He went up to the ticket window and planked down a $5 gold piece and asked for a good seat. The show was the "Forty Thieves." The ticket agent shoved out a ticket and a dollar in change. Picking up the dollar the farmer started out of the building. "Hold on!" called the ticket seller, "you've forgotten your ticket." "Keep it, dern yer," replied the farmer. "I don't care to see the other thirty-nine." A Patrick Henry in Congress. For a number of years Mississippi has sent a Patrick Henry to congress. He does not claim, as many Patrick Henrys do, to be the only and sole lineal descendant of the immortal patriot, but he comes from that famous branch of the family just the same. Mr. Henry is the nephew of Patrick Henry, who represented the seventh district in the last two congresses. For nearly 100 years the eldest son in the Henry family has been named Patrick in honor of the great Virginian—Washington Times. The Teacher Failed. In a school for colored children there was a little boy who would persist in saying "have went." The teacher kept him in one night and said: "Now, while I am out of the room you may write 'have gone' fifty times." When the teacher came back he looked at the boy's paper and found the task completed. Fifty times had the little darky written the words "have gone." But al.s, upon the other side of the paper as written. "I have went home." Faith and Works. One day recently a Berkeley student in one of Professor L. Dupont Styles' classes came into the recitation room so late that the English teacher made a mild remonstrance at the extreme tardiness of the young man. "Professor," replied the young fellow in excusing himself, "my watch was slow. I shall have no faith in it after this." "My dear fellow," said Styles, "what you need is not faith, but works."—San Francisco Wave. Talented Princess. The most interesting member of the Danish Court is the Princess Wald-tmar. She is an artist, her special line beings scenes from animal life, and judges declare that, if she had been stimulated by necessity, she might have rivaled Rosa Bonheur. She is to be found in her studio every morning, brush in hand, and clad in a long painter's blouse, at 7 o'clock, absorbed in her favorite occupation. Reading for the Blind. Representative Dayton of West Virginia recently introduced a bill in the House providing that books, pamphlets and other matters in raised characters for the use of the blind shall be transmitted through the mails to blind readers and returned to depositories free of charge. This matter must be sent in unsealed packages not weighing over seven pounds. Californians Scorn Pennies. They haven't any use for pennies in California. In Los Angeles they circulate a little, owing to the fact that many Eastern people have made that town their adopted home. Everywhere else in the state these small coins are scorned because they are thought of too little financial significance. Arizona's Application for Statehood. The application of Arizona for admission to the rights of statehood is based less upon its growth in population than in wealth and manufactures. By the census of 1870 the investment in manufactures in Arizona was only $150,000. In 1880 it was $270,000, in 1890 $615,000, and last year $10,100,000. The government owns and operates twenty-one marine hospitals and operates two additional hospitals in leased buildings (New York and Dutch harbor, Aiaska). There are besides 115 relief stations, where patients receive hospital or dispensary treatment. Swedish Dynamic Gnn: A Swedish officer named Elmellin has invented a dynamite gun, which is said to be capable of piercing double the thickness of steel penetrable by any other known gun. The gun has been bought for the Swedish navy. Classified as to Church Attendance. Justice Philmore of England, the other day declared that modern church-goers are "oncers," not "twicers," while non-church-goers are either "has-beeners" or "never-wasers." Persian Ladies Dress Like English. The British consul-general at Meshed reports that the Persian ladies are adopting the English style of dress, and that all articles of ladies clothing are in great demand there. Of the large dry goods stores in Montgomery, Ala., is owned by a colored man who began life as a porter and made it a rule never to save less than half his wages. Possibly Green or White. A Kansas City man's full dress suit was stolen one night recently and the detective who was sent to investigate the case asked, "What color was it?" MUTUAL PHONE 624 IOWA PHONE 644 DANISH PROVERBS. Even crumbs are bread. Opportunity makes the thief. Faint praise is akin to abuse. Short flax makes long thread. Power often goes before talent. Death does not blow a trumpet. Gray hairs are death's blossoms. Praise a fair day in the evening. Alone in counsel, alone in sorrow A short cut is often a wrong or New comers are always welcome. Every bird needs its own feathers. Let every bird sing its own note. Trust everybody, but thyself most. We must suffer much, or die young. Every man thinks his copper is gold. Every wind is against a leaky ship Unwilling service earns no thanks. A woman's first counsel is the best. He that courts injury will obtain it. He who flees proves himself guilty. Do not wade when you see no bottom. It is bad to lean against a falling wall. Better the child cry than the mother sligh. We must sow even after a bad harvest. Never let fools see half finished work. Even he gets on who is drawn by oxen. Big words seldom go with good deeds. It is folly to fear what one cannot avoid. He is easy to lure who is ready to follow. Little sorrows are loud, great ones silent. Riches are often abused, but never refused. Every fool thinks he is clever enough. Under white ashes lie often glowing embers. A thankless man never does a thankful deed. It is the raised stick that makes the door soot. It is hard to pay for bread that has been eaten. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Love and philosophy are sworn enemies. Old age commands respect—except in poultry and jokes. Some men are in advance of their age, but women are always a few years behind it. The failure of a bank may not upset the depositor, but he is apt to lose his balance. You have to give some men a sound thrashing before you can command their respect. No matter how erect a general man be he is apt to learn more or less on his staff. The girl who used nuclage to keep her hair in curl has been much stuck-up ever since. Perhaps some people talk to themselves because they find it impossible to interest any one else. In order to retain her youth and popularity all a girl has to do is acquire a fortune and remain single. The average man does just as many queer things when he isn't in love as when he is, but they are less conspicuous. What a merry old place the earth would be if it were to lose its atmosphere. All bodies would then lose their gravity. Says a rural editor: "We trust our subscribers will pardon us for appearing a day late this week. Our wife borrowed our scissors to cut our son's hair." The Fastening Penny. When you engage a servant or make a bargain in China it is not considered binding until the "fastening penny" has been paid. Although his bad faith is notorious in some matters, yet, to do him justice, when once this coin has been paid by you the Chinaman, coole or shopman, will generally stick to his bargain, even if the result to him Ingenuity. The following ingenuous mode of crossing a river was once displayed by a kafir, who had for some time stood watching the vain attempts of a party of soldiers to cross the stream at a time when to ford it was attended by considerable danger. After smiling at their efforts with that sardonic expression remarkable among those savages, he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed it on his head and then walked, with perfect ease, through the torrent to the opposite side. Tom—"Was it hard to tell Miss Autumnal you loved her?" Jack—"Not half so hard as it was to explain matters after I got sober"—Chicago News.

Caleb Powers and Number "12." Powers, the Kentuckian convicted of complicity in the murder of Goebel, may be excused if he put some faith in the idea that thirteen is an unlucky number. He was nominated for office June 18, 1899; arraigned July 13, 1900, as one of thirteen conspirators named; was defended by thirteen lawyers; hit sweetheart, was the thirteenth witness; the evidence showed that 1,300 soldiers were ready to defend him; he gave Culton $1,300 to pay the expenses of the mountaineers; he took $1,300 with him when he fled; the evidence closed Aug. 13. THE AMERICAN MONTHLY REVIEW OF REVIEWS is commanded by Statesmen.

"It is a publication of very great value. I have sometimes found the very important matter indeed which I should not otherwise have discovered." — George F. Hour, U. S. Senator, Maracauchiitu. 9 $5 Per Month FRILLS OF FASHION. Variations in children's gowns bloom out from time to time, even though they are very slight, and small girls rival their mothers in their ambition to keep up to date. Soft wool materials make up very prettily in this way. In figured French flannel the collar may be made of the same and trimmed with rows of narrow braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the small gowns are usually plain, but the older girls have some sort of trimming either tucks, stitched bands, ruffles or velvet folds, stitched on. The long-waisted mode, in which the waist line rounds down low in front is conspicuously evident among the gowns for girls over 10 years of age and the small gowns for dainty little girls of 6 imitate this fashion as much as possible by having the long waist all around. Guimpe dresses, which never seem to go out of style, are suitable for all ages, from 6 to the more mature years of middle age. Bolero jackets are very popular in the kingdom of small costumes, and the attempt to produce the effect of stollen ends is seen in one little gown, where narrow lace revers are carried down the entire length of the front, as shown in the illustration. Another pretty effect is made by two box plaits in front, one at either side from the yoke to the hem, and two in the back, giving a long effect to the waist, which is defined with a narrow velvet belt ending in small velvet rosettes at either side of the front on the plaits. The skirt gathers on to the waist between the plaits, which apparently are a continuation of those in the waist. A sailor collar of lace covers the shoulders in the back and opens in front over a yoke of tucked white silk or batiste. Thin gowns of point d'esprit for party wear are variously trimmed with ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feature of the small girl's costume is the coat and hat to match.—New York Sun. Human Nature Exemplified. An Atchison father who has a lazy worthless son sent him adrift on Saturday at noon, saying he never wanted to se him again. The young man's mother carried on in a pitiful way, but the father was inxorable, the young man must get out and shift for him self. The young man went away saying he would return a rich man sonday and make his father ashamed of himself? His mother said he was a noble boy, and swooned. That night at 6 o'clock the kitchen door opened softly and the young man came carrying a small armful of wood. Whom supper was ready he took his use place at the table, and ate with his customed appetite. The father sat nothing, but the mother waited on his son with unusual care, as though he had returned with the fortune he had talked about at noon—Atchison Goose "I am a constant reactor of the 'Review of Reviews,' and appreciate it very highly indeed. I think it a very important part of my library, and practically a necessity for one in public life" — J. B. Foraker, U. S. Senator, Oral. "It is one of the best and most satisfactory publications of the day" — Charles W. Fairbanks, U. S. Senator, Indiana. "I do not have a great deal of time to read magazines, but I take pleasure in saying that the 'Review of Reviews' is among the number which finds a place on my table each month" — James K. Jones, U.

MEDICAL INSTITUTE, McLean, Chief Consulting Physician, 606 Walnut St. Des Moines, Iowa LITERARY NOTES. E. Nesbit's new story, which will be published in the autumn, will have the queer title, "The Wouldbegoods." S. R. Crockett's new book, "Love Idylls, will be published soon. It will be uniform in size with "An English- woman's Love Letters." Maurice Thompson's "Alice of Old Vincennes" is to be published in Great Britain, as is also "The Story of Eva," the Chicago novel by Will Payne. Few persons are aware, even in England, that a privately printed collection of unpublished writings from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson is about to be issued. In Dr. Minot J. Savage's new book, "The Passing and the Permanent in Religion," the author tries to make clear the great positive elements of religion which cannot pass away. Henry James was recently told that Sarah Grand, the novelist, says she was 14 years old before she ever learned to read or write. "She hasn't learned to write even yet," he remarked. Edmund Gosse is about to become a publisher. His first venture will be a collection of the poems of his friend Austin Dobson which have been written since July, 1899, the last edition of his collected poems was published. The new book will contain about thirty pieces, among them being poems on the war and on the late queen. Mr. Gosse intends to charge $3.20 for each copy. A new book on "Modern Strategy," which is said to be a work of importance, will be published soon. It is the work of Capt. Walter H. James of the British army. It is a treatise on the strategy of today and deals with the effect which railroads and telegraphs and the increase of newspapers have had on war. The campaigns chosen to illustrate it are chiefly taken from the Napoleonic wars and those of recent times. At the end of the book a chapter has been added on the effect of modern weapons upon tactics. IN A NUTSHELL! an size, not counting colonies, the European powers stand in this order: Russia, Austria, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy. White List for Managers New York, like London, is to have a "white list" of the theatrical managers. An organization calling itself the Women's anti-vice committee has come into existence, and its avowed purpose is to protect the chorus girl. The manager who is on the list will be there because the committee will have decided that he treats chorus girls of his company properly. Public placarding with the aim of public boycott will be the fate of the manager who does not get a certificate of high moral rating—Chicago Tribune. ```markdown ```
