The American Demand.

The special dispatches to the In.
ter Ocean from Washington, con.
tain the following regarding the
American ultimatum, delivered to
the Spanish minister concerning
Cuban affairs:
In regard to the failure to exc
cute DEGREES from Spain for the re-
lease of American estates in Cuba,
Secretary Fish informed Admiral
Palo, the Spanish Minister here
that Spain must give assurances
that these DEGREES are to be obeyed
by Thursday the 9th. Palo asked
if the United States would moi
wait for an answer until the Satur'
day following. The Secretary said
"no;" that the President intended
to have his message finished by
Thanksgiving day, ready to submit
to the Cabinet on Friday, which is
the day for the last regular meet
ing before Congress assemblies
Palo was further informed that the
President was anxious to say te
Congress that Spain had really act
ed in the matter instead of merely
promising; and that in case she die
not act he should recommend tina
the United States hereafter assum,
the entire protection of the lives
and property Of her own citizens il

Dressing the Hair.

There are some points in the
dressing of the hair which all wo-
men should understand. The pres
ent universal fashion of covering
the forehead with a fringe of hair
or small curls is 4 great wrong to
the majority. They may twirl and
Irvine over small, delicate, and fair
couutenances; but noblcr faces want
n smooth expansc of forehead, and
in the fashionable "idiot fringe" we
lose all the upper lights of the coun-
tenance. Dark compilations, too,
always require masses Of hair lying
languidly in grand easy forms or
shining coils; black hair is spoiled
by "frizzing."
In order to bring out the intellect.
uality of any face the hair should
be swept back and raised high
The face lights rs the brow uncov-
ers, but care must be taken not to
draw the HAIR too tight and rigid:
all that is necessary is to show that
exquisite line along tho roots where
the skin is soft and fair and the
color fresh and tender even in old
age. The covered forehead is OF
the earth earthly; all the Delilahs
Of every age and country affect it.
and to prove its effect you have only
to take any frail pictured beauty
and in Imagination sweep the fore
head clear, and turn up the flowing
curls into smooth, tidy coils, and
the woman looks reformed. Chill
drcn and girls may wear unbound
hair, but in i woman it looks untidy
and worse.-Christian Union.

The following appeal in behalf OF
the suffering people Of Osceola conn-
ty, should and doubtless will meet
with generous response from the
people Of Iowa:
10 the People Of Io,oa: We, the
undersigned, a committee appointed
by the "Homesteaders' Protective
Association of Osceola county" an
organization effected for the pur-
pose Of looking after the extreme
and urgent necessities Of the people
of said county, caused by the almost
total failure of crops, do deem it
just and proper that we let our sis
ter counties who are In at1iucnt cir
cumstances, have positive knowl-
edge of the situation of very large
proportion of the citizens Of this
county.
The most ofthc settlers came here
last spring with little or no means
and depending entirely upon their
efforts during the summer to carry
them through the winter; honestly
and faithfully have they toilcd. A
very large amount of ground was
sown and planted in the spring
more than sufficient to raise subsist-
ence for all for the coming winter,
if it had not been for an extremely
wet, backward spring, and the inva
sion of vast army of grasshoppers,
which caused almost total failure
of corn and and small grain crops,
so that they now find themselves on
the eve of a long, cold winter, worse
off than in the spring; without food
of the plainest kind, and without
means to purchase tncl to protect
themselves and families during the
coming winter. There are hundreds
of families who have not sufficient
clothing, and know not where the
bread that they will eat ten days
hence is coming from, or their fuel.
These same people relying on their
crops to carry them through the
winter, have labored diligently
through the summer, and thousands
Of acres of prairie have been turned
over ready for u crop next spring.
Now therefore, be it known to the
people ofthe State ofIowa, that with
out liberal assistance from some
source, a very large portion Of the
citizens OF this county will be with
out the nccessaries to sustain life,
and also fuel to keep them from
freezing, and unless from some
source, seed is furnished to these
people to sow and plant in the spring
many of the broad acres that are
now ready will have to lie idle the
coming season.
We, therefore, appeal to the liber-
al Christian hearted people of this
State for assistance in the shape Of
money, clothing, fuel, and staple ar
ticlcs of food.
At the present writing there are
at least two hundred families in the
county needing immediate assist
ance.
All consignments will be made to

ley, Osceola county, Iowa.

Ono Thing Lacking.
From the Nevada Enterprise.

From the Nevada Enterprise.
A clergyman at the hotel has
been seriously i'll for several days
past. A kind hearted nurse, in the
person Of an old pioneer of this
State, '49cr, has been patiently
waiting OH the sick man. The nurse
was full of sympathy for his charge,
and determined to leave nothing
undone that he could do to make
his patient comfortable. Fearing
the sick man was backward in ma
king known his wants, he addressed
him: "Ask Of me any favor that you
want, and I'll be delighted to do 1t.
Don't be afraid to ask" The divine
family responded, "Pray for mc.'
The '49er stood aghast, and replied,
81 can whip grizzly bear, play po-
kcr, drink II gallon of lightning
whisky, and swear blue streak,
but hav'nt sees. the inside Of a
church for twenty-five years, and
can't pray. Don't know where to
begin, what to say, who to talk to,
or when to let up. I'll go out on the
street and whip the biggest man in
town for you-anything but make a
prayer" The minister entertains a
high opinion of his nurse, and is
getting better.

Later Investigations show that tho

Whisky Did It.

The prisoners in the Iowa Peni-
Tertiary are not exceptions to the
almost universal rule Of men
brought to crime by whisky. Mrs.
Swain, at the close of an interesting
report of visit to the State Prison
at Fort Madison, says:
"Of all causes operating to bring
these men to prison, the foremost. is
drunkenness. A few weeks ago at
Sunday School the inquiry was made
of the prisoners at Fort Madison as
to the prime cause OF their present
condition. Four-fifths of the two
hundred and sevcnty-six men con-
gregated there rose to their feet and
testified that it was liquor that
brought them to their present de-
graduation and misery"

Stokes in a Convict's Cell.

A New York Tribune reporter
visited Stokes after his conviction,
and thus records his observations:
From Murderer's Row, on the
second tier of cells in the Tombs
prison, where prisoners arc con-
fined who are awaiting trial, Ed
ward S. Stokes, who on "Wednesday
night was found guilty of man
slaughter in the third degree for the

No. 4, Stokes present address, is
the most commodious on the floor,
and if time permits, will probably
be as luxuriously fitted up as his
former residence, the transfer OF
wall adornments and other things
having begun yesterday. 1t is also

upon by Tribune reporter. Two
gentlemen had had short CONVEX.
sations with the convict while the
reporter was waiting; three Gle
gantly dressed ladies were waiting
to converse with him, and numer
Gus friends had called during the
forenoon to congratulate him upon
his luck. The reporter therefore
readily complied with Stokes re
quest to make the interview rs brie
as possible. Replying to the re
porter's inquiry as to what he
thought of the verdict, Stokes avoid
ed a decided answer, saying that he
was not satisfied with it, but yet he
was resigned to his fate. The com
ments Of the press, he remarked, up

who roamed about town carclessly

The ridiculou, stuff which finds
place in some Of the papers over
the Cuban affair is well sampled by
the following from one of the Chi
cago morning papers:
"Every man, woman and child in
this broad land is foaming with
rage over the insult to our flag; and
shivering with horror over the rec
ord of fiendish murders. There is
net man in these United States
who owes allegiance to the soil up
on which he stands who is not
thirsting for instant and complete
vengeance.
Another Chicago paper says re-
garding the "thirsting for instant
and complete vengeance" that it
has no doubt that it is true, though
it never heard it called by that name
before.

ton.

The following among the Associ.
atcd Press dispatches from New
York last evening is received just
as we 60 to press:
A Herald cabal special from Ma
drid says the situation is grave.
Minister Sickles has had difficulty
with the Spanish authorities. The
last interview terminated angrily,
Sickles saying he would hold no
more personal, only official relations
with the Minister. Public feeling
runs high. The Spaniards blame
the United States for the Cuban in
surrection, and say they will well
come war. Sickles says he does
not see how war can be avoided, as
Spain will concede to nothing, and
public opinion will prevent Presi-
dent Castillo from making any con-
cession. There is no use in the
United States tritling any more on
the subject, tho Spanish stubborn.
ness making concession impossible.
The extreme Republicans favor the
views of the United States in the
affair.

THE Des Moines Register of la:

The Des Moines Register of last
Sunday devotes its leading article
to review of the political situation
in that Congressional District,
wherein large Republican MAORI
ty was well nigh wiped out at the
last election, and concludes that the
bitter, disgraceful, and altogether
unnecessary feud which has SO long
ragged in the Republican party of
that district, to the decentralization
of the factions engaged in it, and
the disgust of everybody else, has
lasted long enough, and that the
factions must be conciliated, har-
monized OF crushed. This is an ex-
ccllent programme, and if carried
out will be applauded by the party
in the State; though it is pity that
considerations of reason, prudence
and decency did not prevail to put
it in practice long since. If the Re-
publicans of the capital district are
really about to emancipate them
selves from clannish fcalty to rival
candidates for Congress, and rings
of all sorts, and come together in
the spirit of harmony, and on the
common ground of Republican prin-
ciple and the best men for Office,
they will have occasion for thank
fitness that they were SO nearly de-
feated at the late election.
