The "preacher" is the latest swindling
dodge being worked in Central Iowa. He
calls on his way distributing Bibles, and
often presents the family with a hand
some book. He then asks for dinner or
other meal, and takes receipt for
twenty-five cents paid for it. A few
months later the neighboring bank calls
for the payment of note for $150.25.

That the roller-skating mania is run
ming out is shown by the great decline in
the price of lockwood, of which the skate
wheels are made. Last year this wood

now it can be had for $1s, and is likely
to 90 lower.

spirit Of ofundissimulated rejoicing. When
all these promises, all these professions
and all these changes that we're to

and for the worse, the

resisting every extravagant, every retro

their opponents frequently, and, at
length, in the closing days, by timely
coalition with native members whose

to party bondage, an attempt at special

archy dominant for four years was
foiled, and the Ministry, more COM

alien dominance than its predecessor,

"the previous question:" which is only
used in other legislatures in extreme

ance of intelligence, of debating ability,
Of principle, to have been with them.
What may be good and useful in the

their labors in committees and on the

not wear evenly, however, and becomes
very miry and sticky under rain. The
Palama road, thoroughly rebuilt OF this
