By Between parents and their children
there is so great society Of nature and OF
manners, of blessing and cursing, that an
evil parent cannot perish in a single death
Holy parents never eat their meal of blessing
alone, but they make the room shine like the
FIRE of holy sacrifice; and fathers or
mothers pioty makes all the house festival
and full Of jov. from generation to genera

FRIED ApPLEs-This is the season now
for this wholesome and palatabe dish. Don't
fry them after the pork, they will taste too
porky. Just drop little lump Of butter in
the spider, heat it hot, and then pour in the
dish of sliced apples. Add a half teacup of
boiling water, and put on the cover, and let
them cook until soft without stirring. Give
the spider an occasional shake, then take of
the cover and let them fry until they begin
to brown.

A WORD TO BoYs-What do you think,
young friends, of the hundreds Of thousands
who are trying to cheat themselves and others
into the belief that alcoholic drinks are good
for them I? Are they not to be ptied and
blamed? Do you want to be one of these
wretched men? If we are to have drunkards
in the future, some of them are to come from
the boys to whom am writing, and | ask
you again if you want to be one Of them. No !
Of course you do not.

DOG CULTURE-Farm and Fireside says
with degree of confidence "It may be re-
garded as settled maxim that good crop
of both dogs and sheep cannot be raised in
the same neighborhood at the same time
The failure seems to be on the sheep side of
the experiment the dog crop never fails.
For instance; recent investigation shows
that there are in Georgia over 100000 dogs
of "high and low degrees" These dogs de-
stroy annually, we are told, 10000 sheep.
Of sheep that are lost each year, it is as
serted that six per cent. die of disease fifteen
per cent. of dogs. The authorities say that
there are in the United States 32,OOO,00O
sheep and 100000 dogs That is one dog
to every four sheep. But some how our legis-
lative masters stand up for the dog. Some
people say they are afraid of the displeasure
of their servants-the voters. The question
is mixed badly. Meantime, dog.culture
thrives-on sheep.

of Paris, to send representatives to
the conference to be held at Vienna.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 4.-Public
opinion here, and even more at
Moscow, regards the projected con-
ference with disfavor. Some pa
papers speak of the conference as a
mere device of the European powers
to deprive Russia of all she gained
after so heavy an expenditure of
blood and treasure without them
selves spending dollar or losing a
mar.
CRTTINGE, Feb. 4.-The Russian
diplomatic Representative, M. Jouin,
has given notice Of the conclusion Of
the armistce to the Prince of Mon.
tenegro and requested him to sus.

EDITOR BULLETIN-We are enjoying
very warm and sunny weather for this
time of the year in Iowa. Stock of all
kinds is doing nicely. There was large
amount of hay put up last fall, which
will not be consumed unless the spring
should be very late
The NJ E. Church was packed last
Thursday evening, to listen to temper
ance lecture, delivered by Miss Wilkins,
OF independence. 1t was well received
by the audience; the argument in favor
of no license was beyond contradiction,
and on the whole, showed that there
must have been considerable study to
prepare and commit so long discourse.
The lady remained on Friday evening,
and gave several Rotations, accompa-
MED by Miss Spencer, also Of Indepen-
dence, who performed well her part on
the organ, accompanied by vocal music.
She is to all appearance well acquainted
with the instrument, and has her voice
under perfect control. OF some eight
pieces recited by the former lady, "The
Betrayal of Christ, Intemperance,"
McClain's Child" and "Gone with an
other Man" were very well recited and
acted. 1t is conceded that Miss Will
kins has the natural gift of an orator
and actress.
We boast of being temperance COM
munity, as there is not saloon in JEFF
ferson township, but temperance cannot
be kept too much before the people. 1t
is feared by some that if the r. r.
comes we will be disgraced with such
nuisances, but it is to be hoped not
We are in the season Of donations.
There was one held at John Kepford's,

and very enjoyable time was had.
There is to be one on next Wednesday
evening at the hall, for the benefit Of
Rev. j. Albright. WEST.

SEVEN teamsters hauling wood for j.
}. Travis took notion the other day
that their pay was not enough, and so
organized strike. They were getting
% cents per cord for hauling, which at
three loads per day gave them 1926 for
their days work Not a magnificent
sum, to be sure, but still not insignifi-
cant for these times. They thought
they ought to have dollar load, how
ever and on this made their stand.
The consequence is that they are out of
a job and seven other teamsters are at
work in their places, at the old wages.
Thus ends the first organized strike in
this vicinity. The result is not different
from that of strikes generally where the
wisdom of the demand admits of doubt.

Mr.. A. McGowEN, of Sunny Side,
has recently purchased the Clydesdale
Stallion, formerly owned by Mr.. Nc
Daniels, of Vinton. This horse was
bred from imported stock, by Geo. Mi
line, of Canady, and cost Mr.. McDaniels
1000, when three years old. Owing,
however, to the closeness of the times,
Mr.. McGowen purchased him for the
sum of 800, cash. Mr. McGowen says
he is nice dapple bay, 16a hands high,
and weighs near 16 cwt., very finely
proportioned, good traveller, and styl-
ish for horse of his kind; just such a
horse as delights the eye of lover of
both the carriage and draft horse. We
are informed this horse has never stood
for less than $50, but Mr.. McGowen
proposes sending him to Independence
to make the season at the big red barn,
at price that will be in keeping with
the times Owl

TIE hog trade has been reasonably
brisk this week, but not so rushing but
that couple of the buyers found time
the other day to indulge in the luxury
of shaking their fists under each other s
noses, in the meantime rendering each
other expressions of distinguished con-
sideration. Our reporter was on hand,
expecting to chronicle fight, but since
the raid on whisky the martial spirit
seems somehow to have died out of our
community.

OELwEIN is all stirred up over the
presence of what is supposed to be
smallpox, in the family of Mr.. Howell,
of that town, and the excitement has
spread to some extent to all the sur
rounding towns, reaching even to this
city, and causing lively demand for
the services of physicians in vaccina-
ton. There is conflict of opinion as to
whether the cases at Oelwein are really
smallpox, there being no clear expla,
nation of how it was brought there.
But whatever it is, means have been
taken to isolate it, and it probably will
not spread beyond Mr.. Howells family

The editor of the Conservative, in the
early part of this week, encountered a
fearful strain of nerve and brain in an
effort to be witty at our expense, and
then, while yet suffering from the pros
tration consequent upon the effort, was
imprudent enough to start on a journey
to Minnesota. The consequence is
what might be expected. He has not
been heard from since 1t is a fearful
example.
