Is it not rather impudent on the part OF
France and England to demonstrate against
the United States purchasing an island IN the
Gulf of Esina for naval station? England
has depots around the world. but, 1t is pre-
sump.uous for any other pewer to seek an
chorags ground beyond Its present limits, say 8

not be respected ; the Eagle will spread its

THE disunion organ. finding that Mr.. Juli-
ans radioalism was a little too strong for this
latitude, and that moderate republicans will
not go with party advocating negro equali-
ty, says:
'Alr Julian distinctly stated that he did not hold
the republican party responsible for his views on ne
gro sufrage-he said he was in advance of his party
on that issue"
Mr.. Julian is and has been for many years
leading republican member ofcongress and
was invited here by the proper organ of the
repu blican party. and advocated republican
doctrines. The attempt now to repudiate him
only shows what we have heretofore claimed,
viz that the republicans have no fixed prin-
ciplos, which are good everywhere-bus in the
true sectional demagogue style, adapt them
selves to the pulse of each particular locality.
Somebody muct be cheated, at that game.

SwINDLERs-On Wednesday night, about
9 O'Clock, tTo young men, dressed in light
colored clothes, such as millsrs often wear,
quite neat and genteel in appearance, came
to this city on the Iowa train with gun and
dog, and registered themselves at the Island
City Hotel as John 6. Law and a. How,
Iowa City. On Thursday Law went to an
officer of the odd fellows lodge and, claiming
to be an odd fellow, wanted to borrow SIS,
but failed to get ii. Soon afterwards he re-
turned and handing out what appeared to be
a gold watch said: "let me have Sl5, on that
it was present from my dying brother
and I will not sell it, but will redeem it very
soon" He got his SIS, and the man who
loaned it very soon found out that he had a
copper watch worth about So He followed
the fellow to she Island City, got his SIS,
back and both strangers were soon afterwards
missing, and neither have been seen since.
They were probably afraid of arrests and
searches.
The Island City has bill of some S. or

TIE LATEST FAsHIONs.-Sinoe theinvention
aud successful introduction of the celebrated
duplex elliptic Cor double) spring hoop skirt
by Mr.. j. W. Bradley of New York, the la
dies throughout the country have g ivsn up
the idea Of disoarding the fashion of wearing
hoop skirts on account of the peculiar and
graceful manner in which the duplex skirts
adapt themselves to every exlgency and
emergency. So generally acceptable have
these skirts become that the ladies regard
them as special favorits 10 view of the su-
periority fisxibilitY, lightness and durability
combined in their manufacture. They also
consider them 3 far more economical hoop
skirt than ever has or can be made for all
crowded assemblages, for the promenade or
house dress. Any lady after wearing one of
these skirts will never afterwards willingly
dispense with their use.

ASHES AS A MANURE. Unleacbed
ashes, in my humble opinion is of far
more value than many people imagine.
l have used ashes rs n manure since I

sum paid for them at the asheries. |

use OF them asa fertilizer, as the best
can say in their favor. .,....,,,,
The greatest increase caused by the
use Of them that,I have known, by ac
tual measures, was on potatoes, used as
top dressing In ti5e, year 1916. After
dressing my corn with ashes that wear,
had one hlshel left, which nut ON
eight rows ofpotatoes, which yielded
one bnshel more to the row than any
rows ia, the field L. was a sod land,
turned over liz the spring. and planted
without manue anv kind. I have no
doubt that The one bushel ofasles in

For corn, think ashes and plaster,
and small handful of the mixture put
into each hill, is the best way to use

it so, the stalks are larger and taller the
ears longer and better filed out, and the
corn sounder and some earlier. y
