Bad for Pin Pool,

The supreme court of Iowa decides that
pin pool is gambling. Peter Book kept a
pool table at place in Shelby county, and
was indicted for keepinga gambling house
was tried and fined $50, and he appealed
from the judgment. The case was reached
by the supreme court. in session at Du-
buque, and Justice Miller gave learned
and exhaustive opinion on the subject,
showing that he knew good deal about
pin pool. There is good deal Of history
in the opinion, but the principal paragraph
is this:
The statute provides that to play at any
game, for any sum of money, or other
property of any value,is gambling; Code,
section 1929. Now it is clearly shown
and not disputed, that the defendant kept
certain tables on which Divers persons
we're in the habit of playing at what is
called the game of pin pool" That this
play is game there is no controversy
about, the fact that for the use of the
tables and ether instruments of the game
the defendant charged and required the
players to pay certain sum of money foI
each cue Whatever that isl. When, there
fore, two or more persons played this
game they became jointly bound to pay
the sum or sums of money chargeable
therefor 1t is plain that if they play the
game or games in order to determine
which of the players pay the actual sum
or sums which they would be jointly bound
to pay, that they play for the sum each
one would be bound to pay, and it does
not change the matter that they play the
game in advance of paying therefor. The
principle is the same as if the money had
been staked or put up before the game
was played. 1t is gambling In the one
case as we'll as in the other. Nor is it any
less gambling that the sum of money
payed for is small. To 'play at any game
for any sum of money" however small,
comes within the statute.
So the supreme court afirms the judg.
ment of the court below, and-makes g
pin pooler gamblerl

Rivalry for Freight.

The various railroad lines running south
and southeast from this city, via Peoria,
are establishing agencies here to look after
their interests in freight and passengers.
From this point to Peoria there is no rival
ry and the p. & R, l. management treat
all alike. But, from Peoria these roads
sprangle in all directions and are all anx-
ious for share of the business from this
point. 1t is to the interest of our ship
pers that all these agencies shall be sus-
tanned, as in that case they will receive
better treatment and have their work bet
ter and cheaper done. In order to sustain
all these agencies our shippers should en-
courage each by dividing their business.

Frankuess in Love,

Somebody writes that one of the most
essential things in all love affairs is entire
and perfect frankness. Both parties
should be frank-true to themselves and
truthful. to each other. How many un-
easy, troubled, and anxious minds, how
many breaking and how many broken
hearts there are to-day in which content
and happiness might have reigned supreme
but for want of franknessl Repentance
inevitably comes for all these things, but
it often comes too late, and only when the
evil produced is incurable. In love, as in
everything else, truth is the strongest of
all things, and frankness is but another
name for truth. Then always be frank.
Avoid misunderstanding; give no reason
or occasion for them. They are more
easily Stunned than cured; they leave
scars upon the heart. You are less likely
to be deceived yourself when you never
deceive others. Frankness is like the light
of clear day in which everything may be
plainly perceived.

TRANSFER PICTURES decorations
on carriages, buggies, sleighs, furniture.
boxes, &c, and other painted surfaces,
often show the most delicate artistic skill,
and the question arises, how are such
views and ornaments placed there without
great expense ? The cheapest articles are
frequently covered with bits of landscape
or floral decorations that could not be
painted by hand without increasing the
value Of the articles. The secret is, these
paintings are transferred to the articles
adorned by Process called 'Dscalcomanie.' y
When the method was first discovered
high prices were charged for the transfer
pictures, and also for teac hing the art, SO
that few could afford to purchase. Recent
ly, however, dealers have reduced the
rates so that now these PICTURES may be
obtained at comparatively low cost. j. l..
Patteu Il Co. ,l62 William Street, New
York, are large dealers in these goods
For the small sum of ten cents they will
send complete instructions with catalogue
and ten specimen pictures, to any one who
wishes to learn this beautiful art.

Passenger conductors have some anus
ing experiences with people who have ney-
er travelled. The other day, at Galva,
Conductor Warren Sutliff, of the Peoria &
Rock Island, saw woman get off the G.
BIS Q. train and look around in such a
confused way that he was possessed of a
desire to aid her, and he modestly asked
her what train she was looking for. She
gave him scornful look, as though he was
a three card monte man. and hurried to-
ward the baggage car. In moment the
train started, and such yelling and sig
Mailing was never heard as was set up by
that woman, The train stopped, and it
was found that she had left her baby in
her seat in the car while she looked after
her baggage. She wanted to go to Cam
bridge. At last she got her baby and her
box, and then Sutliff, finding out
where she was wanted to 90, piloted her
to Conductor Scotch and told him about
il. Scotch politely asked, had she check
for her baggage. With the baby on one
arm she attempted to find her pocket, and
at last despairing of doing SO she showed
the baby iuto Scotten's hands saying.
Here, hold this young one," and with
her hands free she found her pocket and
her check and walked off to the baggage
car leaving Scotch to hold the baby un
til she returned. She reached Cambridge
all right-but her movements created q
! good deal Of fun.
