be carefully grated into the handle

LAST Friday Sam Ross went to
Waterloo, Iowa, to perfect a trade of
his running horse, Mercury, for Nate
Doxie, noted thoroughbred stallion,
and returned yesterday with the
latter. Doxie has a proud reputation
for his swiftness and as a first prize
winner in the show ring. In the de-
parture Of Mercury this section loses
a prime favorite, a horse possessing
great speed and endurance, one Of
which any man can well feel proud,
and we predict that he will give the
star runners Of the Hawkoye state
much trouble in attempting to reach
the wire first.

certainly when his condition was made

THERE will be an effort made, ii is said to
appease the Irish who feel In no way pleased
at the proposed visit of the Prince and
Princess of Wales to the Emerald Isle. 1t
is rumored that the Prince OF Wales while in
Ireland will announce that the Duke of
Connaught and family, after their return
from Italy will reside in Dublin, the
duke succeeding Earl Spencer AZ lord
lieutenant of ireland. While there was
a time when such an act OF royal
favor would have calmed the most
rebellious Irish spirits. But it is now so
well understood that the members of the
royal family are mere figure heads that the
ministry use at their will, that the act OF
sending the Duke of Connaught to succeed
Spencer will have little or no power to
placate. The only way in which England
can get rid of Irish trouble Is to cut loose
from the Green Isle entirely.
