Going Back 10 Iowa

Messrs. L. Adler & Co, wholesale liq>
uor dealers who have been doing business
at No. 119 Eighteenth street since the
prohibitory liquor law went into effect in
Iowa, are going back TO Des Moines on
Thursday to take charge of the store they
vacated last July. They will remove
their liquors from their store here to Des
Moines. They have secured a permit TO
sell liquors in Des Moines and as the sa-
looms are, and always have been in full
blast since the liquor law went into effect,
they anticipate no trouble In fact The
prohibitory law in Iowa is a dead very
dead letter

News Clnders Found on the Track

Mr. Robert Stockhouse, of the r. l Il
P, and family, returned this morning
from their New Years visit to Springs
field.
All trains arrived and departed on time
this morning, but railroad men were
afraid that delays would occur tomorrow
on account of snow or a freeze up.
The G. B. Il O. folks do not find it
much trouble to get along without tele
phones. In fact they find it rather re-
lief to not be bothered with that "hclo"
machine.
The Merchants electric light in front of
the c. B. & @. depot is daisy" It not
only lights up the whole platform but the
yard also and is great help to the night
switchmen in their perilous work.
The cannon bail train, which came in
on time this morning, was covered with
snow. The steps, trucks and tops of the
coaches had snow several inches deep at
tached to them. The train men said n
heavy snow storm prevailed last night in
Northern Iowa.
Mr.. Thos. Haggerty, of Davenport, the
genial and accomplished telegraph ope>
rator at the c., NJ & st. P. depot in this
city, is the proud father of a bouncing
baby boy, who arrived on Saturday. May
the youngsters lines be cast in pleasant
places, and may he never shock his
father, but "key'-ep the latter
charged" with pride because of having
such good conductor
Arrangements have been perfected for
The running of G. B. & Q. train be-
tween st. Paul and Chicago via B. @. R.
& n, across the line through Scott coun-
ty and the @, line in Illinois The train
from Chicago will leave that city at noon,
arrive at Clinton at O'Clock, Cedar Rap
lids at $50, and ST. Paul early next morns
ing. The train from st. Paul passes
Clinton at 10 a. m. and arrives in Chicago
at 3p. m. Clinton rejoices over the ar
rangement.

natural that he should. Bill Hy is like a

Rinklets.

There was large audience present at
the Rock Island rink again last night,
and it would have been much larger but
for the very disagreeable weather. The
main attraction was the five mile race,
with seven entries. The prizes were
first SO, second IS. At $50 the racers
all appeared with the exception of Cahall,
of Milan. The six tossed for choice OF
position to start, and as result were
ranged in the following order, the posi-
ton nearest the side of the rink being No.
1, No. l, Clark. of Iowa City; No. 2,
Betty, of Moline; No. 3, Knittle, of Rock
Island; No. 4, Wollenhaupt, of Rock ISL
and; No. 5, Cooper, of Moline; No. 6,
Johnston, of Rock Island. Manager
Collins gave the six a splendid sead off
and Betty was first to the first curve.
Around they went in a bunch with the
exception of Clark. the Iowa man, who
seemed to be having some tronble with
his feet. The pace was too rapid for him
but he kept on and the others dashed
around and around and caught him in the
eleventh lap just as they were turning a
curve, and Clark make a supreme effort
to keep ahead, but lost his feet again,
stumbled and fell heavily. and the
bunch of i've behind him came
near falling upon him. He skat-
ed around the rink slowly, and
gave up the race on the twelfth lap, four
laps less than a mile Johnston had
pulled out on the eleventh lap, and this
left but four to struggle for the honors.
Betty was ahead all this time, closely pur~
sued by Wollenhaupt, Cooper next, and
knittle bringing up the rear. At the
southeast curve Wollenhaupt dashed by
Betty, but the latter pushed Wollenhaupt
at the next curve, and again to the lead .
Wollenhaupt claimed a foul and made
another squirt and passed Betty again at
the same place, and was again pushed out
Of his course and claimed another foul
Betty flew around the course for a dozen
or more laps. vigorously swinging his
arms to keep Wollenhaupt from coming
up too close. knittle had in the meantime
forged up to third place, and the red
shirted man from Moline was making the
dust fly in the rear At last Wollenhaupt
caught Betty mapping on the northwest
curve, and spurted up along side of him.
Betty made an effort to jump into the lead
again, collided with Wollenhaupt,
and fell headlong through the
west door leading to the oil room.
Wollenhaupt then had the lead and Knit
tie was second. Betty gave up the race
having skated seventyone laps and Coop
CT, who had no earthly show to win kept
on the floor and was a bother to the 9th
ers. The race between the two Rock Isl.
and boys was the plnckiest ever seen in
a Rock Island rink Around and around
they few not more than two feet apart
lap after lap each doing his level best, but
Wollenhaupt had the staying powers and
won the race skating the full So laps in
22:24, beating his former record of 23:45.
Knittle was one lap behind. Fred may
now claim the amatuer championship OF
the two cities, If not, indeed, the tri.cities.

The Dangers of Cosmetics.

A physician connected with the Skin
and Cancer Hospital in East Thirty
fourth street said this morning: "Most
cosmetics contain lead or arsenic. Some
may contain less than others, but all
have some. A few applications to the
face effect no injury, but when the
habit of using cosmetics is once con-
iirmed it is necessary to keep it up if
one does not wish an ugly complexion.
Constant use makes the skin rough
and destroys beyond recovery its It's
sues. Should there be an abrasion OF
the skin it is possible that the poison
ing may become constitutional and
death ensue. In most cases. however,
affection is local. The application of a
mild lotion and the abandonment of
cosmetics is the way of curing it.
"For actresses the use OF cosmetics
usually thought necessary, for it heigh-
tens the natural color, hides the blem-
ishes of homely faces, and gives them
a good effect from distance. But for
the majority Of women it is of no earth
ly service, and only detriment. 1t
does not add to the beauty of the natu-
raj complexion; it makes the face sal
low, unhealthy and unnatural. You
can tell faces on which cosmetics have
been applied At a glance. Every third
woman that you meet on broadway
no. will say two women out of three
shows that in this respect her vanity
is stronger than her senses. Women
sit up late at night, eat late suppers,
drink strong coffee, get indigestion,
aud then complain Of poor complexions.
To make their faces clear and unblem-
ished they use cosmetics. Perhaps this
occurs at the beginning OF a society
season. They cannot break OF using
cosmetics, they think, until the season
is over. BY that time the habit is fixed.
and their faces require cosmetics to
make them preSentaDle. Good health,
which comes from good care of the
body. is the best cosmetic

In order to cast bronze statue
properly we require mold made in one
piece, with proper inlets for the metal
and proper outlets for the air, and a
core properly held in the centre of the
cavity OF the mold. If the core were
not supported in some way it would
touch the walls of the mold and leave
at each point of contact no space to be
filled by the bronze. The difficulty of
poiSing a core inside a statue of com
plicated form so as to leave n space all
round between core and mold would
seem very great, but when we are told
that the space so left must be accurate
ly prOpOrtiOned to the strength rcqUir-
ed in that particular part, il would
seem a matter OF infinite difficulty. 1t
Is in fact one OF the most serious prob
lens an artist can have to solve.
There are, however, several ways of
forming the core and fixing it in the
mold. The simplest is that described
by Cc!lini as having been used by him
self when he was called on to cast the
figure Of the Nymph Of Fontaincbleau
for Francis |. He modelled the figure
a reCumDent one about seven feet
lOng-iu high relief, with a background
OF beasts Of the chase, hounds, etc, of
a somewhat lower relief, in poor
sandy clay or mari. This work, when
finished, was carefully dried, shrinking
considerably during the process. When
quite dry he placed ii in kiln and
fired it, burned it, in fact, into terra
Gotta, but as it was made of poor
clay, it would yield only very soft
porous terra Gotta, and be very friable.
This was exactly what ne wanted. He
then Oyerlaid the whole of the work
with an even layer Of wax about half
an inch thick, or rather less, which
brought it back to the original proper
tions.
This layer of wax was then carefully
finished III every respect, and was then
covered over to certain thickness
with a mixture Of bone ash and tripoli
powder, ground up with a solution of
COW dung and various other in -gredients
into a smooth paste. This paste being
mixed IN certain proportions with ordi-
nary founders loan was then laid on
IN thick layers till the mold had reach
ed the required thickness. The tubes
through lAu walls Of the mod to give
ingress to the metal and to afford exit
to the air were made by means Of rods
of wax which were attached at one end
to the wax model, and were built up in
the substance OF the mold, their unat-
tachod ends coming through to the out
er surface.
When this outer coat or mold was
dry Beuvenuto put the work into a
Kiln or oven, and gradually heated it
up until the wax inside melted and ran
out at the holes lett by the melted wax
rods. When no more wax would run
out hc increased the heat OF the oven
until the mold became red hot. The
oujuct of this was twoiold, firstly to re-
move by combustion every particle Of
wax that might have been absorbed by
the mold, or have been unable to es-
cape through the holes, and secondly,
to drive of every particle of moisture.
This object having been attained, he
melted and poured the bronze into one
