lowing mode of preparing dairy salt
"Takc the best crystal salt, wash it, dis
solve, strain, settle and turn off; boil it
down in some perfectly clean iron vessel
skim as boiling; when stirred of dry, il
will produce fine salt, white as the drift

The Republican State Convention

The Republican State Convention
so far as we were able to judge,
passed off to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The principal strife was
between the friends of Lowe and Kirk
wood-each pressing the claims of
their favorite for the Gubernatorial
chair with considerable, warmth be-
fore the opening of the Convention.
But when it became understood that
Gov. Lowe had all along preferred a
scat on the Supreme Bench, and was
only prevented from Withdrawing his
name from the Gubcrnatorial field by
circumstances he could not control,
and when his letter of declination was
finally read to the convention, all with
one accord were pleased to nominate
Kirkwood for Governor and Lowe for
Supreme Judge. Kirkwood was at
once nominated for Governor by ac-
clamation, and the proceedings of the
Convention throughout were charac-
terized by great harmony and enthu-
siasm. Hope was buoyant and seemed
to CLEAN from every countenancc.
The Republicans are confident of car
rying the election next fall by from
5000 to 10000 majority.

We learn from the Usage Iowan

We learn from the Usage Iowan
that Judge Hitchcock, of Mitchell
county, together with his nephew, Ed
win Hitchcock, and L. d. Horton, came
near losing their lives a few days
since by being poisoned with arsenic.
The poison had been mixed with meal
to kill mice. The lady of the house
being absent, a Miss Griswold un-
knowingly mixed the preparation with
other meal and made it into bread, of
which the famiy partook for dinner.
The effects manifested themselves
Immediately. All three were taken
with violent cramps and deathly sick
ness at the stomach. The Judge and
Edwin were relieved by copious vomit-
ing, but Mr. Horton continued to grow
worse, and at shutdown there were APP
parently but slight chances for his re-
covery. He has since recovered, how
ever, and is now believed to be out of
danger.

ReSofred, That we rc-assert as cardinal prln'

prompt and faithful discharge by public otii-

in 1898, the increasing county taxation is be-

Agricultural College and Farm.

The Iowa State Agricultural College
and Farm have been finally located
at the Squaw Forks, near Skunk Bot
tom, in Story county. There appeared
to be a good deal of backing and FL
ling" on the part of the Agricultural
Board, in reference to the location of
these farmers institutions. At one
time the Board voted to make the To-
cation in Hardin county, and after
wards voted a reconsideration. At
another time we believe Marshall CO.
was sure of these institutions. But
finally, it appears that thr Forks of
the Squaw creek presented the great
est attractions, and Story county bears
off the palm. Hardin county is one of
the finest counties in the State, and
we are not little surprised at the re-
consideration of the vote and final de-
of the Board. The site in Har-
din county, intended for the college
and farm, was on the west bank of
Iowa River, two miles above Eldora,
and is one of the most beautiful spots
that can be imagined. The county
proposed to donate over $4,000 to
the institutions, had they been located
there. We believe they receive no
more, if as much, from Story county,
and if the site there has as many nat
ural advantages and beauties, (artifi-
cial it has none, as the one in Har-
din county, we shall be happily disap-
pointed.
