The Soldiers Home.

Editor Star: The Soldiers Home forms one of
the most beautiful OF the many admired sur
roundings of Washington. 1t is an institution
chartered by Congress and placed in charge of
officers Of the army acting as trustees, who very
naturally find it an object calling forth their
warmest symathies. The purpose of its existence
was to furnish homestead and resting place 10
the intrm and disabled of the rank and file of
the army. Six days out of the seven the lovely
grounds, charming rides and drives, the shad '
ana well Kept avenues, are open to the rec.
visit and enjoyment of all well-behaved per
sons, but on the Christian Sabbath entire oul,t
and privacy are reserved to the Inmates nv

master Of the state grange of the Patrons OF
husbandry of Iowa, stating that he will not
eccept the nomination for state senator, as his
friends urge him to do. He adds: GAS an order

the order will no doubt largely influence legiS-

Certain members of the Dodse county, Wis

rotary of the state grange has issued a circular
TO the patrons throughout the state saving tn Al
the state grange considers this action very up

all oranges against taking any notice whatever

oranges are being organized at the rate of
