THE exact number Of democratic
or republican representatives from
Iowa in the next congress is yet a
question a9itating the minds Of party
leaders. The democrats claim Hayes
Of the Second District and no party
hrgrudgcs the questionable honor.
Hayes is rock rooted moss back,
practices democracy and irrigates
with democracN's favorite juices.
Weaver, from the Sixth, is demo
crat to all inten's and purposes, but
has enough grtenbacliism i'll his

The republicans OF Audubon
county won most gratifying vic
tory in the campaign just closed,
indicating as it docs, a goodIy num-
Der of conversions to republican
doctrines and policies. In 1885
Gov. Lurrabec received 1860 votes
and Whiting LIZA, a democratic
majority of s.. This majority was
overcome this year and a republican
majority of III gained for Secretary
of State Jackson. Our democratic
friends are trying to delude them,
selves with the idea that the election
was lost TO them by reason of sc
many Of their voters staying away
from the polls, but this theory viii
not bear scrutiny. The total vot,
OF the county in 1855 was 2,I9I am

than last. Granting that the loss of
81 this year was all on account OF
democrats remaining at home and
supposing this delinquent vote had
all been pollcd, the republican state
ticket would yet have a majority of
81.
The close vote on the county
ticket is wholly attributable to re-
publcans voting for the present
incmnbents OF the county offices.
Having served but one term, and
that faithfully, they received large
complimentary vote. The advance
ment of the republican cause in the
state and county is very encouraging
to ali members Of the party and with
continued and united effort the party
will retain and increase the undis-
Duted majority it now holds.

mestic. They have the same habits,
however, that are remarkable enough.
The long tail ends in sting, that is
comparable to the mandible of its
cousin, the spider; and is pierced with a
tube from which poison flows from
duct Beside this the scorpion has two
crab-like claws, and thus armed is a
match for the largest crickets. To show
the power of it's poison, in some experi-
ments recently tried I found fly was
paralyzed almost instantly As soon as
the sting entered vital part the limbs
began to quiver, draw up, and the victim
was dead. Crickets lasted longer, bun
the sting was soon fatal. The scorpion
is often night worker, and in attack
seizes the cricket or other insect in
it's powerful claws, and if its strug-
giles are not too great tears it apart and
devours it. If the victim attempts to
escape, the long slender tail is lifted
>over the back, and with vicious jerk
the deadly sting is hurled into the body
of the unfortunate.
Among the many fables told of the
scorpion that of its committing sui
eide are perhaps the most familiar.
When surrounded by fire the insect has
been seen to sting itself; but the action
was, in reality, no more with suicidal
intent than would be that of a man
when tearing his hair in agony. More
remarkable than this alleged suicide is
the method by which the young scor-
pions are reared. Soon after birth
the latter mount upon the legs,
claws and body of the parent,
and ride about for some
time, gradually feeding upon it; so that
by the time they are capable of taking
care of themselves the author of their
being has succumbed to their cannibalis-
tic appetite and is mere empty she'll.
One of the most dreaded insects of
this country is the centipede; its enor-
nous jaws, seemingly innumerable legs
and powerful muscular development
making it creature to be avoided
They are found under logs and stones,
and attain length Of four inches
Quite recently one has been discovered
that, after being exposed to the light OF
