THE painter engaged in adorning the
front of Tabor & Sons store, met with
an accident on Wednesday last. He
was at the top of a step ladder, which
suddenly doubled up under him, but by
catching with both hands on the tran

paint was promiscuously and conspicu-
ously scattered. He did not quite veri-

Confirmation.

The Rt. Rev. VIM. Stevens Perry, D.
d., l.. l.. D., Bishop of the Diocese Of
Iowa, made his second visitation Of St.
James Parish, in the four months last
past, on Friday, 18th inst, oficiated at
Litany service, at noon and at half after
four; after evening prayer, by the rec
tor, met the children Of the Sunday
school and their parents and made an
address, showing conclusively that the
church was prominently the childrens'
church. 1t was replete with instruction
and encouragement to pastor, parents
and children, and cannot fail to exercise
a salutary influence on all who were
privileged to listen to it. The third SER
vice was held at y o'clock; evening SER
vice was read by the Rector, after which
the Rt. Rev. Prelate preached to a large
audience one OF the best sermons it was
eve the good fortune of YOU cores
pondent to listen to. At the close of
the sermon the Rector presented a class
of II candidates to receive the apostolic
rite of confirmation. Adding to this
number the % confirmed in December,
and we have 40 as the number added to
the communion of the church in this
brief period Of time. The Bishops ad-
dress to the newly confirmed was full of
Cody counsel and encouragement, and

ber) drew all present-hearts, hands and
the whole man-very near to him; and
sowed good seed (and, may we not add,
seed which, in Gods good time, must
bear much fruit. .
The Bishop, at the close of this pleas
ant and profitable visitation, stated an
encouraging fact for the parishioners of
St. James and their Rector, viz: hat
St. James was the Banner Parish Of the
Diocese; so, far the conventional year
(Which closes in May. This, when it is
remembered that there are "a Parishes
and Missions in the Diocese, reported at
last annual convention, speaks much
louder than words can speak for the
jealous band of Christian workers who
hold up the hands and fortify, in all
emergencies, their chosen leader.

FLAX SEED.



l. 1t is the best preparation for a
wheat crop, insuring from three to six
bushels more per acre following flax
than when sown in succession. The
same is true of oats, barley or corn. No
cash outlay for seed, three pecks per
acre, costing less than half as much as
with wheat.
2. 1t affords a good relief from the
ON crop" system. 1t pays ordinarily
as well as other crops and some seasons
much better; have never known a fail
ure in Flax.
3. Nothing is better than Flax with
which to seeddown to timothy or clover.
4. Flax comes off from ten days to
two weeks before wheat is ready to cut.
No fear from chintz bugs.
.. 1t cut at the right time, can be
harvested as cheap as a crop of hay, and
secured from rain. The straw and chaf
are eagerly eaten by stock, and are fully
worth an equal weight of good hay,

GossIP:-Our citizens will, Of course,

GossIP:-Our citizens will, of course,
remember that the candidates for the
Lower House Of the State Legislature,
last fall, were s.. 7. Spanglcr and John
Calvin. Owing to a popularity of our
statutes, but one of them could be chos-
N at a time, and the voters bestowed
the honor upon the house of Calvin.
1t 81 happened, when the Legislature
met, that our Representative became
the chairman of the committee on
schools, and the clerk of the committee
was an accomplished daughter of the
candidate he defeated in October. As
a result of this association, citizens of
Des Moines pleasantly hint, that no
matter whether the voters of this coun-
ty confer official honors, in the future,
upon Spangler or Calvin, it will be upon
the same family in either case. 1t may
be proper to add, for the sake of our
worthy but modest Representative, that
we are not indebted to Governor Gear
or State Treasurer Bemis for this item,
although they visited these parts lately,
neither should he do Senator Harmon
the injustice to suppose that he furn-
ished it.
DIsGRACEFUL.-We have a few re.
marks to make upon the conduct Of GER
tain of II young men and boys, upon
occasions like the reception of the Gov
ernor, last week Thursday evening.
The Guards and the Governors carriage,
during their march from the depot to
the Empire House, were attended and
closely followed by a perfect bowling
mob, composed of the aforesaid boys,
who sang, whistled, made insulting re-
marks, and otherwise disgraced them
selves and the city, all the way. So
much noise and confusion did they
make hat the strains of the band could
not be heard at the rear of the company.
We do not know where the officers were
all this time, but we do know they were
not on hand to keep the peace. 1t has
become an intolerable nuisance to the
Guards to thus be attended every time
they appear on the street, and, unless
the officers hereafter keep the peace,
they will take the matter in their own
hands.

THE World gives Congress good advice
anent the diplomatic and consular bill. 1t
says; 1T is desirable that in dealing as well
with the diplomatic as with the consular ser
Woo Congress should bear in mind the essen
tial difference between running a service
economically and running it into the ground.
Legislators who think our diplomatic service
can be dispensed with altogether, have q
case which they have right to make out if
they can. We do not believe they can make
it out, for, as well-informed correspondent
shows this morning in our columns. the Amer
ican Legation in London is a business nec-
essity to Americans both abroad and at home !;
and what is true Of this legation can be
shown, we think, to be true of our other
legations in countries with which we
have extensive relations of commerce. But
about this, argument may be heard. There
can be no argument in favor of starving our
legations if they are to be kept up at ALL
The silly way in which Congress dealt with
our representation at Paris during the Ex-
position cost the country more millions in
the way of business transferred to other ma
tions than it saved the Treasury thousands
upon the expenses of proper outfit and
timely preparations for the Exhibition. To
cut down the necessary clerical staff of our
foreign legations is piece of similar folly.
1t would be stupid if the Legislature and the
Executive were of one political party. 1t is
petty partsanship to boot when they are OF
opposite parties."

THE debate that followed Mr.. Blaine's
speech was not animated. Mr.. Thurman's
reply was clumsy evason, Mr.. Lamar's a
shrewd one. The Ohio Senator laid himself
open 10 a sharp thrust from Mr.. Blaine when
he intimated that property and education
must always govern though the majority be
on the other side. That rule would work
Democratic destruction in New York city.
His proposed amendment inquiring into the
use of money in elections also brought out
from Senator Edmunds vexatious allusion
to the Democratic attempt to biibe the Pres-
Dental electors.
