Two BorToMs.-A Clarence cor
respondent relates pretty good Joke
on some one she doesn't say who
to whom a farmer went to buy half
bushel measure. The merchant over
hauled his stock, ga j he was out,
and then bethought himself and told
the farmer there was one in the cellar
they had been using. 1t was bought,
the farmer went home and was con-
siderably surprised a few days later
to have a false bottom an inch thick
fall out OF his new measure, leaving
il still whole and complete. 1t is of
course, charitable to suppose that the
merchant kept that measure TO buy,
and not to sell with; but our cores
pondent, who signs herself "A Far
mer's Wife," says, at is time for
folks to look out where they buy their
potatoes and onions

beautiful and fertile acres then open
10 the sellers choice. Mr. Cover Sc
lectcd the place occupied by him cs-
or since and where he died. His To-
cation was on the beautiful Cedar. at
point where Judgment told him a
thoroughfare must cross and where
the character Of the river made line
water power easily utilized. The
ferry at this point established by
Mr.. Cover, was for many years UNI
der his personal management and
still bears his name.
Mr.. Covers information and abili
", when joined to the reputation for
perfect integrity and practical good
sense which he soon enjoyed, could
not fail to bring him prominently be-
fore the public. Commencing with
participation in the important work
of the convention for the revision Of
the State Constitution, Mr.. Cover
was again aud again called upon TO
represent or work for his fellow citi-
zens in various townships and Coun-
ty offices of trust and Importance
In referring to his private life and
the loss this community has sustain
ed, we can hardly do better than TO
re echo the language Of correspon-
dent Of the Iowa City Republican, as
follows
An intimate acquaintance OF more
than twenty years with Mr.. Cover. a
knowledge Of him in the sunshine Of
his own home, and all his relations to
the public, socially and politically,
lead me TO speak Of him as well
worthy of the great esteem in which
he was held by the entire circle o;
his acquaintance.
Towards his family Mr.. Cover
evinced such answering kindness
and devotion, such freedom from i'll
temper, such ingenious respect for
the purity of domestic life. that his
home life could not be less than
model Of private excellence.
In the immediate community in
which he was best known, as neigh.
Dor, the influence of Mr.. Cover was
almost unbounded. He was, We be-
lievc, without personal enemy
rs an arbitor, a peace maker, a friend
and counselor, he received without
seeking it, the endurablc confidence,
and retained always the esteem OF
his neighhors.
The community III which Robert
Cover was 50 well known has thus
lost one Of its very best members
by nature gentleman; in his pub
lie and private life an example Of
rare good citizenship.

In MEMORY OF RoEERr GowEE.--
Three weeks ago to-day, on Tuesday,
April 2nd, 1874, at his longtime
home in Cass township, Cedar Coun-
ty, there passed from this life one
who, for at least twenty-five years,
has probably been more generally
known throughout the whole county
than any other citizen thereof. We
refer, of course. To Hon. ROBERT
COVER, who died of pneumonia, at
time and place stated, in the seventy
second year Of his age,
Robert Cover was born January
25th 1903, at Pennington, Maine
At the age of nineteen he removed
with his parents to Abbot, Maine,
where he lived most Of the time for
the next eleven years. In January,
1926, he was married, at Munson,
Maine,to Miss Rosamond Greenwood,
who survives him after happy mar
ried life Of almos, half a century. In
| 1888, Mr.. Cover removed with his
family from Maine to Maumee City
Ohio-which was then, Of course,
very far west. Some idea of how
new that country then was vii
be gathered from the fact that the
first recorded plat Of what is nov
the city Of Toledo, Ohio, shows tn
survey to have been made by Rober
Cover, in 1884. After a few year

THOSE THREE-HoKsE CLEvlsEs.-
The ADVERTISER gave its readers
warning, some weeks ago, that the
clevis man was in the country gath
eriny them in" at the same time
stating that there was pretty good
authority for thinking that the patent
under which he was operating was
of too late date 10 hold water.
should organized resistance carry
the matter 10 decisive issue
That the patent was issued as
claimed, there is no doubt; and
neither docs there seem TO be
any reason to doub, that this agent
bears proper authority under that
patent. But it also appears 10 be
susceptible OF proof that the device
was in common use long before the
patent was granted or even applied
form which case, as the law is eN-
pounded to us. il is not worth ono
straw.
A good many have already walked
up to the Captains office and paid
their little five dollars for having
used on their respective farms sim
pie contriyance which their black
smith probably made 70 their own
order for fifty cents. Whatever the
law may be, the evident fact is, that
they are submitting to an extortion--
which certainly no one should do I'M
til sure that he has no legal remedy.
The trouble, no doubt, lay in the
fact that no one man could afford to
make an issue for the comparative y
small sum involved; but now we un-
derstand combinations have been e;
fected sufficiently strong to test the
matter thoroughly. This is as it
should be.

he was probably drunk at the time
of his attack Oh Mr.. Pa.on does little
to excuse the outrage. He WAS trac-
ed, last Wednesday, to Rochester,
and officers watched all night at the
house where he had been staying, but
to no purpose. He is undoubtedly
hiding about not far distant still,
though how TO lay hands on him is
the unsolved problem.

BAsHAw JR. HEARD FRoM.-We
find in an exchange the following item
concerning the "hoss" which used to
do Upton SO proud.
As the question has been frequent
ly asked if the trot'ing stallion Ba-
shaw, Jr., will be entered in the great
stallion race. to take place in the fall,
at Boston, Mass, Mr.. a. F. Fawcetf,
the owner, writes: "Bashaw, Jr., will
be in the stud from April LIST to close
Of season, and therefore will not be
entered in the stallion race. ] will
announce, however, the following
challenge to any or all stations that
will be in the stud this season, and
particularly to Jay Gould: will trot
Bashaw, Jr., thirty days after the
close Of the stallion season, race Of
mile heats, best three in FIVE, in har-
ness, or two miles and repeat, against
any stallion in the United States for
81 500 or 5000 a side.
