Mary Had a Little Lamb.

CA MPAIGN HYMN. Mary had little lamb. Of which you've often heard; Now to that story old l wish to add word. Mary fed that little lamb, Till he grew stout and strong, With many wrinkles on his nose, And horns twelve inches long. Why did Mary love tine ram, And feed him chops and hay? Why, Mary loved the ram, you know, Because she made it pay And in June, when it was warm, And wool was full of grease, Then Mary sheared that gread big lamb, And sold her pa the fleece In field behind the barn,
 With big high fence about, There Mary put notice up
 That notice said Keep out" Now when Grover came that way,
 He stopped and said "Ah haw The ram he stopped and stamped his foot,
 And id to Grover, "BahI" "DO you s'p0se that ram would butt?'
 Said Grover to Carlyle. "Give me that free-trade stick of yours
 I'll tease the brute awhile" Grover he made at the ram,
 And struck sounding lick "Grear Oregon" the fat boy cried,
 "Ive broke my free-trade stick Pull your red bandana quick"
 The boys together shout, "And toss 1t to the sheep, old boy,
 And then you scamper out" Grover waved that banner red,
 And tossed 1t to the ram, Who shook his head, as if to say.
 Don't care for that a--clam "Sheepy, rammy, ram"-
 But you cannot beguile An angry sheep with soothing speech,
 Or civil service smile Protect me, George, from Mary lamb,
 Protect me from his bump" This was the fat boys prayer
 To the great and good Mugwump. Then he ran lusty race, Across the field be cut, But before he reached the fence He knew that sheep could butt. R c. (Flora, III. in The Inter Ocean

By putting sugar and rice on the free list reduction in the custom house revenue of the country amouc ting to $s9,ooo,ooo annually would be effected. Putting wool on the free list only makes reduction of $II. 1000, 900, according to the claim of MT. Mills. But sugar and rice being southern products are k ept on the protected list at duties varying from 6S to more than 100 per cent, while wool being mainly produced in the north IS doomed to destruction by the e,. slaveholderss who now propose to be the especial champions of American labor.

Judge Waterman has entered decree in
the case of Ryan VS.. Leslie, at Daven'
port, settling the title to the property
known as Ryan's block in E. W Ryan.
So that question is settled forever. Mr..
Ryan paid $40, 200 for the property when
its interior needed rebuilding throughout,
and then expended $4,000 in putting it
in proper condition for tenants. After
he had done this, then came attempt to
show his title was not valid, because c.
c. Leslie, who resides in this city, was
not mentally capable of conducting a
negotiation of the kind inteligently. 1t
was decided IN the district court that he
was capable, knew perfectly well what
he was doing at the time, and made q
pretty good bargain, considering the con
dition of the building. A couple Of
months since suit was brought in the dis.
trict court to confirm the title in Mr..
RYan-and Judge WATERWAYS decree il
the result. Leslie inherited a fortune
aud Is well off.

The steamer Sidney, which left st.
Louis a week ago yesterday, the last
packet for up-river points this season, met
with a misfortune on Friday afternoon at
Hole>in, the-Wall crossing, about seven
ty-five miles above st. Louis, which ne
cessitated her return. At that point the
wrist of her larboard crank broke, and
the aft cylinder head blowed out. She
was towing two barges on her upward
trip. These she left, and returned, tax.

pairs are under way, and she will go out
again in few days. The Josephine will

NATURALIZATION LAWS.
How Foreign Residents may Become
American citizens.

How Foreign Residents may Become
American citizens.
In view of the near approach of the Presi-
dental election, the following facts bearing
on the naturalization laws will be Of inter
est more especially to foreign born citizens:
l. A person of foreign birth may at any
time go before the clerk of any court of re-
cord and make oath to his intention to be-
come citizen of the United States. The
clerks certificate of this is called the first
paper"
2. Two years after the issue Of this "first
paper" the applicant, if he has resided in
the country five years and the state one year,
may go before any court of record and re-
ceive his second or final naturalization paper.
The first paper must be produced at this ap-
plication, and two witnesses must swear to
the fact of the residence.
g. If young man comes to this country
before he is eighteen years old he is not re
quired to take out the first paper" but
when he is twenty-one years old and has
been in the country five years and the state
one year, he may go before the court with
two witnesses to the fact and receive his vot-
| ing paper at once.
4. If foreign born person becomes nat
uralized citizen during the minority of his
sons, such sons become .egal voters on arriy-
ing at the age Of twenty-one, the same as if
born in this country.
| 5. An honorably discharged soldier is not
required to take out first papers" He can
get final papers by producing proper proof
of service and residence.
An alien need not be naturalized who re-
sided in this state on the first day of April,
| 1913.
If person offering his vote shall be chal-
lenged on the ground of alienage, he cannot
be compelled to produce his naturalization
papers, but must either produce these or take
the voters oath prescribed by the statute.
If challenged on account of residence then
he must make the proof required by law as
to his residence.
If he takes the voters oath, and will an
swer. satisfactorily, the questions required
by law, and produce qualified witness who
will take the oath prescribed, his vote mus
be recorded.
If there is false swearing, the voter and
his witness alone are liable, and that is 4
question for the courts, not the election Off
GERS, to investigate and Decide upon.
Registration, in this state begins this yea
on Tuesday the 10th at A. NJ. and again OIL
Tuesday the Both, to revise the list. At thi
last meeting the registration officers in cite
shall meet at A. NJ. and remain in session
until P. NJ. In country towns at 9 A. NJ

INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Mitchell 4 Lynde's Bank R-modeled
and Beautified

ana DtAutIueu.
The interior of Mitchell & Lynde's
bank has undergone some attractive i'm
provements and is now one of the Coolest
and most inviting banking houses in this
section of the state. The walls have
been entirely covered with rich paper,
the ceiling painted ivory white, while a
wainscoating of polished Georgia pine
surrounded with red wood moulding runs
the entire length of the room outside the
counters, and handsome dado
ornaments the lower half of the
walls inside the counter The par
ti'ion between the main room and
private Office has been removed,
making in handsomely furnished par
lor for the use and reception Of the bank
officials or depositors. The chandeliers
have been neatly bronzed and the ap-
pointments throughout are the finest that
can be provided,
The wood and carpenter work was done
by John Volk 6 Co., and the rapering
painting, etc., by Sutcliff Bros. and it al
speaks for itself.

Extremes IN High and Low Water.

The Mississippi bids fare to indulge in
the same extremes that the weather is
often guilty of here in this climate. Last
spring the water reached the highest
stage ever known here-a new high wat
er mark was established. Now the Keo-
kuk Gate City says the river has almost
reached the low water mark, rendering
navigation exceedingly difficult. The St.
Paul is the only packet plying between
there and St. Louis, making semi weekly
trips. 1t is unfortunate for the steam
boat interests that such low water pres
walls while yet there is grain and apples
along the river to be moved. The Dia-
mond 10 line is sending its boats into
winter quarters at Dubuque. The St.
Louis and St. Paul company's boats will
