MAD DOG.

There was canine nj the post office
last Monday evening that caused consider
able excitement, the result of which was
that the pup" was sent 10 the happy
land of canine.
1t is not known the exact object the dog
had in view when he visited the postal es
tablishment, nor is it certain that his in
disposition was caused by failure to re
ceive an expected missive. The fact re-
mains. however, that suddenly the dog be-
came very much excited. He frothed at
the mouth, and acted in very strange
manner.
The large crowd of people in the build
ing soon became impressed with the con-
viction that the dog was mad. and a large
number Of them found pressing business
that necessitated their immediate attention
on the outside of the building.
The dog was chased out into the street,
where Officer Bresnahan ended lis earthly
existence with revolver.

Found Him Sociable.

Not long since Young lady of New
York City took it into her head to get
married without paternal consent. The
Young man whom she loved was object
ed to by her father on the ground that
he was not well enough of. as far as
the worlds goods were concerned, TO
take care of his daughter, and although
he had never seen his intended SON
in-law, he asserted that he was not COM
potent to earn for her respectable liv-
ing. In spite of opposition, however,
the wedding took place at the time APP
pointed, and it is needless TO say that
the father was not numbered among the
guests. The young couple found
modest home in the neighborhoOd Of
the parental mansion and still the irate
father refused 10 recognize them. But
lie was not of an unsociable nature, and
he was noted for making acquaintance
on the horse-cars on his way to and
from business. 1t was not strange,
therefore, that he entered into converse
ton with sociable young man at his
side OH his way home the other evening,
but it was a little surprising, as lac was
rather cautious, that he should have
been so entirely fascinated by the young
man remarks. Why he said, ''you re
a person exactly after my own heart;
YOU display in your words remarkable
business tact and are destined 10 be
rich man. II ii is not an inperiinent
question, who are you and what is your
name?'' Il am your son-in-law, quiet

motioned to the conductor TO stop the

NOT GUILTY.

Yesterday the preliminary examination
of j. BARLEY and Hans Nelson was con-
Quoted before Justice Halves, and resulted
i'll the discharge of both prisoners.
The prisoners were accused of breaking
the seal of a freight car on the c., r. l. &
p. some weeks ago, while the car was To-
Gated in this city. The robbery was not
successful as the men were frightened off
before gaining an entrance to the interior.
The case was worked up by one of the
detectives of the road who arrested Barley
at Albert Lea and conveyed him to this
city for trial. Nelson was arrested at
Moline by the police of this city as it was
known that he and BARLEY were working
together.
The testimony submitted al the prelim-
mary examination was not of a very con-
vincing nature. One witness testified that
Barley broke the car seal. The prisoner
denied the accusation.
AT the conclusion of the examination
BARLEY was discharged, and the counsel
for the prosecution agreed to the dismissal
of the case against Nelson Both parties
We're accordingly set at liberty

TOOK HIS TIME.

Mat Rice is an individual who thinks
some little time before he becomes angry
but when once his Indignation and wrath
are aroused. he is a lively citizen.
He mentions that last Sunday evening
he returned to his domicile, and found
his better half engaged with a Davenport
visitor. He become suspicious and on
general principles threw the Davenporter
down the stairs. The latter picked him
self up, without sustaining any great bod
lly injury and walked out into the even
ing air.
Rice then threw himself down and slept
until Morning. On awakening from his
slumbers he recalled the little incident.
and concluded that lecture on the propri-
cites of life would best suit the occasion
He commenced in a mOdulated voice, but
gradually worked himself into an excited
frame of mind. He made things very
lively for the partner of his SORROWS and
joys.
During the day warrant was taken out
for Mats arrest He was accused of dis
turbing the peace and quiet of the city.
His trial come off before Justice Halves,
and Notwithstanding the fact that the
prisoner proved he was slow to anger, the
Court fined him 50 and costs. The fine
was paid and the prisoner was set at liber-

EXCURSION.

Last evening occurred the moonlight ex-
cursion on the ferry ]. w. Spencer. Al
an early hour the steamer was nicely filed
with excursonists, and accompanied by
Strasser's brass band and orchestra, the
merry party steamed down the river.
Dancing was inaugurated soon after the
start was made, and was highly enjoyed
by those in attendance.
After remaining on the river for three
hours the boat returned to the city, and
discharged the passengers.
The success which attended the first ex
cnrsion, it is understood, will cause a
repetition of The affair during the season.

experience Of housekeeping has given

tings on all my Second-story rooms
Beautiful mattings can be purchased for

over carpets are legion. Ii we consider
| health of paramount importance. as we
should do in these DAYS of invalid women
then we cannot hesitate n moment in
our choi - between carpet and MATING
for II sleeping-room while Il carpet al
tracts the dust and stores mp an endless
amount of it, to be circulated through
the air ut all times. a closely woven mat
ting retains none of it; the dust collects,
to be sure, us it always will i'm all place,.
but with scarcely any expenditure of
strength can be swept off easily and
quietly, without flying about and cover
ing the furniture. Gentle. efficient Swcep.
ing is u rare gift among servants; they
| usually scrape the carpet almost in
| pieces. and raise clouds of dirt, part of
, which settles again i'll the room.
Carpets attract something still worse
than dust; the insidious moth is bei,
n0tr TO housckeepers; its favorite Iurk.
ing places are around the edges of ear
pets, and especially under pieces of fur
hiture, where unseen and unsupported
by the n0vitiate housewife il commits
greyious depredations. NV matlngs
were put down in the spring; through
the summer they were cool looking and
grateful; in the fall 1 was spared the
terrible tearing up of rooms and shaking
OF carpets; only had my mattings wiped
off with a clean cloth and water when
they had the fragrance of new-mowu
hay. Some warm-loolling rugs and mats
thrown down in the winter gave cosy.
comfortable look to the rooms. In the
following spring when the mattings were
taken up | was amazed to see that no
dirt at all had worked through them:
the floors were rs clean as though lately
swept
Bare floors with rugs are handsome,
but an exceeding great care; the polish
ed boards get scratched in spite of the
greatest care, and moreover show every
particle of dust.
Consider for "A moment, all weary
housekeepers, i'm how many WAYS mat
iings could diminish your cares, and
YOU must certainly agree with me ia
asserting that they are the most desirable
covering for the floors of sleeping apart
ments. Even one of the prettiest parlors
| know has mating upon the floor. In
the winter a large Turkish rug of genial,
warm colors covers all the center of the
room; the heavy red drapery of the
windows is drawn far back SO that the
sun streams in and brightens the wicker
chairs with their comfortable cushions.
One cannot enter the room without feel
ing that an artists brain lFas conceived
and an artists hand arranged such
beauty.
