If Manager Gooding always does things

A queer outfit was that which st oppet
on Market square this noon. 1t was
composed of three families, originally
Canadians but recently of Ohio, who are
on their way by wagons to Kansas. They
crossed the line several years ago by
wagon and are now en- route TO the west
the same way. Their business is horse
trading. and they had twenty-five equines
with them Their outfit WAS composed
of well furnished wagons. one in partic-
ular having been designed for their use,
and was e9ipped with beds, stove, chairs
and other comforts. 1t was built at a
cost of 1850. and was novelty in itself.
The party went down the river from here,
expecting to cross at Burlington.

state of Iowa couldn't touch them, for to
do so would be to interfere with the in

pressly forbidden by the constitution of
the United States The decision has had
the effect of producing a sort of little
boom in the liquor business outside of
Iowa. Little jobbing houses have sprung
up all around the state, Just across the
border, and these houses are sending all

WISDOM BY EXPERIENCE.

such is What a Veteran Politician
Finds---Mr. Edward Russell Deserts
standard Of Grover Cleveland.
MIR. Edward Russell, who shaped and
moulded the sediments and destinies of
the Davenport Gazette, now extinct, dur
ing all those twenty years in which the
journal was power in Iowa, and who
for almost the same length of time was
postmaster at Davenport under series
of republican administrations, has an
ncunced himself as a supporter of Grover
Cleveland and the democratic tariff plat
form. Mr.. Russell, who is now real
estate agent at Minneapolis, was in Dav.
export Saturday and announced to a
number of friends his change of politics.
The news, it need hardly be said, was
astonishing to great many. To those
who introduced the subject of poll
ties in his presence, he had no hesitancy
in telling that he would support Cleve-
land, or that at least. he would not vote
for the national nominees of his old
party, Harrison and Morton. OF course
this declaration on his part astonished
his old party coEferees with whom he
bad been associated in a common cause
for many years. He separates from MANY
OF them on the protective issue, while
many of them, larger in number than he
knows OF, are with him
The Democrats Gazette commenting on
Mr.. Russell's change OF ideas, says:

Now he is private citizen, doing busi |

ought to have paid more attention to long
