A BEwITCHED NoSE We have
been informed Of a great novelty in
Cedar FaIls-a bewitched nose
Who ever heard OF the like? We
have known of meddlesome noses,
that were always prying into the
business of other people, but lever,
since Adam first looked over his
smelling organ, have we heard of be-
witched prohoscis. Yes! and the be
witclIed and bewitchpe. are both rrs-
idents Of our city. The victim is a
german, and the perfDrmer of this
klypt0matic feat, Is none .other than
our sash and door manufacturer, +.
NJ. Stead. Some months since, said
german had trouble with his neigh
bOrs, in which lac most unmercifG lily
pounded boy of Mr.. Yockstick. -
Mr.. Stead, in whose employ Mr..
l0ckstick was, expressed himself in
pretty strong terms to the german
for the abuse of The boy. and the
words have haunted him ever since.
Two weeks RgO lie met MIR. Stead
again, and had some words when, as
the record runs, this piece Of "pre~to
change WAS performed. The ger
man declared that Stead had bewitch-
ed his nose, and every day since then,
and hourly each day, he has been
blowing, washing, cleansing, purify
ing, but all to no purpose. Die he
will, and die he must, unless his
nose was relieved from this piece Of
witchcraft. Last Saturday morning
he appeared at the justice Office of
Esquire Knapp, and demanded a
warrant for the arrest of Stead. -
After explaining hi! case, Esquire
Knapp told him he WAS not ac-
quaintcd with any law that would
touch his case, hat the german ia
sisted that it was his only hope of
life, aud that Stead must he brought
into court aud file an affidavit taking
back what he had done. He was told
to go TO 4 lawyer for advice, aud up to
the hour of going to press, Mr.. Stead
is still at large. We await further
developments.

FAsHIoNs.-While women live,
locals must chronicle the fashions.
For women, you know-bless their
hard hearts-couldnt possibly live
without the fashion reports. A lady
in New York, writing to lady
friend, says: Hoops are not worn In
New York by any lady, either with
the street dress or in the drawing
room. The street dress is quite
short; the house, or parlor dress, is
erceedingiy long. Some make u
short dress, and then button OH the
train, which Comes i'm front of the
hips, and flows back two yards or
more on the floor. This train can be
removed ut any time, and then you
have handsome walking dress. 1t
is a very con venient aud economical
arrangement for ladies who are not
able to have good supply of dresses.
The style of bonnet i'm New York
this spring In wonderful-the most
curious as well as the most beautiful
and is beyond any power of de-
scription.-Erchdnge.

THE progress of the question OF
impartial suffrage called out the
heavy guns of the Cedar Falls GA
ZFTTE against it. The GAZETTE edi-
tors great argument is that only a
few of the women want the elective
franchise. We don't know how lie
found out, neither do we see what il
has to do with the question. They
ask IL rs right and one of these
days it will be an accomplished fact.
We have never donhted that there
were just as many foolish women as
foolish men in the world and it is
not unnatural they should talk and
think alike.-State RepOrter.
Will the Smooth bore" of the Re.
porter please state how many are In
cluded i'm "they." Does he mean
that majority demand 1t as right.
If so, how did he find it out. Are
We to understand that the Reporter
belongs to that foolish class that takes
it for granted to he right because the
question Is couehed i'm the name of a
reform and therefore it Is to be an ac-
compiished fact. II suffrage for

THE PRIZE RING IN IOwA.-An
Off hand mill came off at Marion,
Iowa, as We are informed, on the
race course, Tuesday morning tile
18th ult. The contest was between
Billy Hildebrand, of Cedar Rapids,
and Russ Mead, of Dubuque, for So
a side, The fight lasted through
nine ROUNDS, time fifteen minutes,
wHen Mead not coming to time, il
was ascertained that his jaw vas
broken, aid Hiidebrand was declared
the victor. The winning man was
born at Niles. Mich, is 20 years OF
age, weighs 1870 pounds, stands five
feel nine inches in height. Mead is
a native of Ireland, ~ years old, five
feet eleven inches in height, and
weighs $50 pounds. Betting was ten
to six on Mead. Billy is now looked
upon as one of the best fighters OF
his age in the west.

A COOP TIME TO SELL.-We think
this a good time for selling grain,
now that the planting is about over
and farmers know how much they
Can spare. Prices Of wheat have AZ
preciated considerably in the past
two weeks and may advance still
more, but this is somewhat doubtful.
There is still large amount of last
years crop in the hands of producers
and the warehouses along the road
are said to lie full. Reports from
California and few other localities
are unfavorable, but to offset these
we have many that are favorab for
good crops this season. Therefore
our advise would be 10 sell immedi-
ately or sooner. Ii you are paying
interest on borrowed money it will
not pay you to hold your grain on
the strength of your chances for
higher prices. %

the shops had been located at Cedar

prize. We don't think there is any

stead of saying ugly words ut the
