us are Of the most promising charac-

time of writing, the prospects were
neyermorc fiatteringfor q largo yield
OF wheat and grain Of oil kinds this

the past month caused many predic-
tions tllatwe wersrin the midst OF q

planted largely this scason and with
favorable weather we may confident

practice which@obtained, during the
war of allowingonly those gentleman
who are accompanied by ladies to
ride I'm first class ears has ceased To
be a necessity now, if II ever was at
any time, and yet we are sorry to see
this injustice still kept up on
many Of the roads. 1t is wrong and
not I'm conformity with tile spirit OF
our American institutions. Ifall pas
scnger coaches were alike II would
make no material difference if n
part of them were kept locked but
las IL il now, gentleman who hap
pens to be so unfortunate ms to be
unaccompsried by a lady Is compelled
ofttimes TO ride Id q second class car
with a first class tickle. In his pocket.
There are few men in the country
we think who are not, gentlemanly
enough to conduct themselves prop-
erly In the presence of ladies and
there is remedy fr all who are not.
The present pratice OF locking a
part Of the coaches Is not only dam
gerous In case Of any accident but Is
an injustice and a nuisance aud
ought to be abated. We notice 1t, Is
being abolished on many Of the best
roads. Why noton aliafu9i4

ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN BREMER
Co.-From the Waverly Republican
we learn Of an attempted murder In
Bremen county recently, and dar-
ing highway robbery. William A.
Bailey was the victim, and the SUBJ
stance of his story is, that he was as
saulted by robbers on the night of
the 18th inst, in franklin township,
and dangerously wounded, and q
pair of horses and wagon, and 5000
in money were stolen from him.
The robbers have not been found,
and there is rome doubt as to the
truthfullness of his story. Bailey,
however, bears the wounds on his
person Of an attack by men with the
evident intent to kill, and there Is no
doubt that q great crime has been
committed. Bremen has become q
noted. county for tragedies of this
character.

all parts Of the State we Learn that q
large amount of bad whiskey was
punished by the Democracy when
the news came, that by the votes of
seven recreant Senators, Andrew
johnson had been acquitted on one
of the articles of impeachment. BE
1t said to the credit of the Democracy
In Cedar Falls--though few In num-
bers-that there were no unusual
demonstrations, and very small
amount OF whiskcy suffered. They
all looked rs though they
though. Andy rather disgrace to
their party after all, even though
they had hoped and worked for his
acquittal. Gentlemen, you'll find
him bitter pin TO swallow, even by
the Democracy.

ExTRAvAGASCEI IN MEN. Tho fol-
lowing Is taken from the London
Review, and though IL was written
across the water It has such. an ap-
propriatencss for the young men Of
this country, to-day, that we transfer
1t to our columns for their especial
benefit -s
"There are lots of young men with
whom the spending OF money Ii a
positive disease. They constantly
demonstrate the truth OF the familiar
proverb. There Is sort or fatal
profusion i'm their habits. Women
are accused very unfairly Of being
over extrayagaDt.a As o rule, men
are far more SO, and the account
against them Is principally due to
those who fritter everything they
gain or sell In numberless fund
nameless trifies. A woman has q
natural title to being well clad--to
being, indeed, clad so as to make the
most Of her appearance. She hns o
sense for jewelry. To deny her or
naments Is to stifie genuine and
reasonable instinct. But o man who
parts with a considerable portion of
his income in order to comply with
every freak Of his tailor, and who
really seems 10 have only used his
bralns upon tire patterns Of neckties,
lis one Of the most pitiable creatures
alive. A gentleman ought to be cor
rectly and neatly dressed. There b
something revclting, as well as start
ling, In the style I'm which the unfof-
tunate London cad turns out. To. air
himself on the tops Of 0rnnibusses
and on the penny steamboats, on Sum
day. Still the extremes meet.
The cad IL not, in all probability, q
greater jackass than the person he
mimics. He IL also extravaganza In
bis own miserable way. He has
given more than he can afford for his
flaring scarf with its horrible brass
pin, his embroidered shirt-front, and
all the rest of his vile paraphernalia.
Extravagance Is not confined to o
class Some working men spend
proportionately a. mucll In beer
houses aud music halls as those above
them do in clubs and at the opera or
theatcr.n

in Cedar Falls has Joined the army
of Benedicts. After waiting long
and patiently at the court OF hesi-
tation," he has finally yielded, we
suppose, at discretion, and allows
the mantle Of old bachclorhood to
fall gently on the shoulders of his
successor. We can scarcely predict
that his successor will wear itso long,
yet we may hope ns gracefully.
Long service has made IL honorable.

A "MALE MoDIsTE. THE Allen
town, Pennsylvania, Democrat, of
late date says: MANY of our ladies
will remember being called upon ut
their residences, last fall, by lady
agent going round and selling ladies'
'corsets' and fitting them ut re-
markable low price. Recently, i'm an
interior town In this State, the very
same woman by the cheapness OF
her stock, and q decided and unwar-
ranted partiality shown q beautifnl
lady customer, aroused suspicion,
and on the lady being arrested, she
was found to be young man in dis
guise-fitting and selling just for the
fun of the thing. He says he has
passed through Allentown, Reading,
Pottsville. and many other towns,
fitting corsets to several thousand
young ladies'. The Columbia Pal
Herald says the same party has been
lifting the ladies Of that town.
And later, he appeared i'm Cairo, ILL.,,
and came near being fitted with q
coat of tar and feathers. Let the la
dies beware of corset filters in dis
guise. Frchdnge.

ABOUT EDITINo.-The following
Is not our own, though it Is just as
true as though we had written 1t our

poses he can do II a little better than
anybody else. In our experience we
have known people to doubt their
fitness for various occupations, such
MS peddling clans, picking rags, or
tending saw mills; but we have
rairly met with an individual who
did not think he could double the
Of any paper In two

that during the strong south wind on
Monday last, spark from the CHM
ney Of Mr.. III. G. Eddy's house, three
miles west Of town, ignited some
rotten wood near by, which In turn
set fire to large pile OF stove wood !;
this took place while the family were
Pt dinner. Several neighbors seeing
the Ore, hastened to notify them Of
their danger. Every effort was made
to extinguish the flames, but to no
purpose; It spread to a pile or logs,
thence to the granary, shads, stables,
corn crib, hay stacks, &c. SO swift
did the hre run, that II was impossi-
BILE to secure anything but. the three
horses in the stable, and the hogs.
All efforts were now concentrated on
the house, which, thanks TO good
well and plenty Of help, was saved.

feed for man and beast, when lie sat
down to dinner, got up to find HIM

Agrccably to the above stipulations
the com batants met at the hour des-
ignatcd by the seconds. Mr.. "Hen

seemed to DO unprepared for the most

ties came upon the ground nc The
same time, zach from opposite sides
of the bridge. Miss Peagrim APP
peared firm and resolute aud the fire
flashed from her eagle eyes ns she
stepped forward to shake hands with
Mr.. Hen Pecked," according to
usage. Col. Becswax deposited upon
the ground ease Of silver mounted
fine tooth combs, and then after STEP
ping off the ground proceeded to toss
up for the choice Of weapons. The
combatants secured their weapons
and were placed. "Hen Peckedr "a

upon was the dropping Of a large red
handkerchief, and the word 10 be
given Ivy Miss Peagrim's second. AT
the moment at which the signal was
to be given, DIR. Sawbones politely
requested Miss Peagrim to lend him
a "chawp of tobacco, laughter, hear,

formed him that she didn't "chaw."
The kerchief dropped and blows
were exchanged. Hen Peckedn re-

received by Miss Pcagrim was a slight
scratch on her elbow, which she had
barred for the purpose Of meeting

REcKLEss ASSERTIONS.

On the 29sh Of October, 1867, GEO.
FRANK GoULEY, Grand Commander OF
the Knights Templar Of Missouri, ad-
dressed letter to the KITS. Of Missouri,
in which he Is even more reckless in as
s,rtion than in the columns OF the Free
mason, which be edits.
he stated that the Ancient and Ae-
ceptsd Scottish Rite was 'just fifty. three
wears DID," The Supreme Council, at
Charleston, was established in May,
1901. just sirty-sir years and i've months
before he wrote his letter.
He knew that the Rite OF which he
spoke was formed by adding eight de-
grees TO the Rite Of Perfection in twenty
Eve degTess, which was organized and
esr Eed as eSrly as l75S or 1883: the first
eighteen degrees Of both Bites being the
same. and the Kadosh, which was used
il. making the English Templsr Degree,
being the twenty-fourth of the Rite Of
Perfection, and the thirtieth of the An
cient aud Accepted Rite.
he stated that the "order Of the
Templen y has existed in this country
alone for nearly eighty years, and in
Europe, in one form or smother, for
nearly seven hundred. The Masonic
Templar Degree was carried from France
70 England after 1850, and worked in the
Dsrmott Lodges. In 1871 Dunekerly
put himself st the head of the Encsmp-
ment in which that and other degrees of
the Heredom- -Kadosh Masonry were
worked and about that time the degree
came to America, by whom brought we
