GOVERNOR LiAR2RABEE LiAR2RABEE
Indicted for Libeling a Woman
Peculiar Case, With Political
Bearings.

DEs MONIES, IA, Feb. 17.-The
Polk County grand jury, by a vote
Of 6 to l, has indicted Governor
Lar,abee for criminal libel. 4 Mrs
TurneY has been for months trying
to secure the pasdon CT her son
Chester Tnrney, who WAS sentenc
ed 10 seventeen years i'll the reni
ten;Inry for theft. She charges that
the youths conviction, winch &C.
Cured three Years ago, WAS due tu
fraud in the interest Of mum ber
Of persons who undertook to lynch
him, and feared that his acquittai
would injuro them. Governor Lar
rabce refused agsin and again 10
grant Il pardon. and as defense
against the agitation pu oiishcd a
IA implicit detailing the clrcumstan-
ces surrounding the case. He liz
cIude,! an item from newspaper
charging Mrs. Turney with having
two husbands living. This has been
rioven untrue. The Grst husband
having been killed in The evil war
while on picket duty, although the
ARMY records fail 10 mention the
TACT. The ease has gradually be-
come part oi the bitter contest
which has been wageI for some
time past between Governor LARA
bee and the railroads, and will IN
loabtediy cut . figure in State pol
,tics. This has been brought about
by iI!e railroads granting Mrs. Tur-
ncy free transportation to enable her
20 keep up the agitation for her
boy s pardon. The general public
opIni0n Is that tse prisoner was
guilty, hul 60! Il sea- ence much too
severe.

Suggestions for features of interest
for the great fair are in order. Many
people seem to think tall tower in
dispensabIe, simply because Paris has
one. That is nonsense. Such a tower
here would be a mere plagiarism, IN
worthy the inventive genius of the
Yankee nation. The purpose Of the
tower at best, is to furnish vantage
ground from which to view the magnif-
icent scenery surrounding it. We have,
unquestiOnably, right here, infinitely
more enhancing views than Paris can
boast, and if we can make them avail
able, without subjecting ourselves to
the imputatiOn of initiating the ideas of
others, it would be q grand scheme.
My suggestion is that we construct a
mammoth balloon-One of unprece-
dented size and lifting power. In place
Of a car let a platform, say twenty feet
square, be suspended under this bal
loon, and the whole elevated say two
thousand feet, to be held stationary at
that point by guys of wire rope diverg-
ing from the four corners of the plat
form to suitable anchOrages at wide
distances apart on the ground. This
arrangement would not merely hold
the balloon captive, but steady in pO-
sitiOn. L would have tube run from
a gas reservoir on the ground up to the
balloon to keep it constantly filed, so
that its sustaining power may not be
lost. Then have one or two additional
balloons of ordinary size, fitted with
the usual car, and guided by a taut
rope, to ply as .cOnveyances for pas
sengers to and from the stationary bal
loon in mid-air. This would be novel
and attractive arrangement. Tt would
not merely eclipse the EiffeI tower in
elevation, but the curiosity Of mankind
in general to test aerial navigation
would insure a measure Of patronage
that would yield a handsome return on
the investment. The Metropolis.

Ihere &c I've w. to Pronose.

Here are two styles Of proposing. "
rms one IS the kind you read about.
but the other Is the one most .DODuIaT
IN the realm of fact: "AIy angel, I have
long waited for this opportunity. You
must have detected ere now the growth
Of my love for you. From the dav I
first met you that love took root. and
tonight 1t is strong and sturdy, IN
WaYering, undying. Your sweet smiles
have lighted up my life, your every
word has been to me note of exquisite
music, thrilling, enthralling me. You
have filed a place in my heart, in nv
affections, that no one before has ever
occupied. My lifelong happiness de-
ponds solely upon the answer YOU give
me. Say you viii be mine to love,
caress, cherish, idolize through time
and eternity, and make me of all men
most envied. But if you ref--Oh,
cannotl 1 cannot The thought is
madness. You viii be my wife ? L see
the answer of yoyfr heart mirrored in
your lustrOus eyes; you know I love
you as no other man ever has loved
you, or ever can love you, darling.
know you viii not thrust me off. "
The angel assumes a stereOtyped
ly-this-is-sO-sudden expression, and
assures Mr.. WOrdie she would derive
great pleasure from being his sister.
Here is the other way:
"Maude, I've been thinking seriously
lately"
'ReaIly, Fred, you ought to be more
judiciOus than to do anything so rash
as that"
'Yes, I know it is a heavy tax on my
mental capacity, but then I was always
reckless that way This time, however,
think I have been thinking to some
purpose. In fact, I've been thinking
you wouldn't object to having your
name changed"
"When ?"
Gust as soon as possible"
"Wiu it be home or church ?"
"Church, of course; we want to do
this thing in style"
Have you asked pap"
Certainly not, I don't want to
marry your father"
"Well, I know; but for FORMS sake. "
"Al right, dear; for FORMS sake
Will see pa, and maybe you had better
prepare ma for the ordeal"
"Oh, she won't mind it. "
Deep silence reigns again, save as it is
broken by the soft signing of the tree
tops, swayed by a gentle breeze. Glee-
fully the stars twinkle; the moon looks
beamingly down from heaven to earth,
and discovers on a vine-bOwered piazza
two forms with but a single chair.

Gas in Champagne Bottles.

last spring, said a gentleman to Mr..
Hugh Fegan the other day. "I sup

them, women fashion. But they were
as fat as Rhine wine. What was the
matter ?"
They were standing up, were they %

There Is a heavy loss from breakage.
When the gas develops a champagne
cellar sounds like a battle. The bot
ties explode with tremendous force,
and are dangerous. Over 20 per
cent. of the bottles break. That Is one
reason why champagne Is SO high
priced. Bottled cider VIII champaign
lie if raisins are put in 1t. Some years
ago I put up a barrel Of cider for the
White House. The steward insisted
on putting a whole raisin IN each bot
tie. I told him a quarter of ralsln to
a bottle was enough, but he had nus
own way. The result was that he
didn't have a bottle. Every bottle
exploded from the pressure. - Wash

made up my mind I'd talk it over
with Smanthy, an I did afterwards,
an she promised to do better
Inever went back in while thet Pat
tingaIe critter stade; but she left
about dark an then I went in. The
wilder wus a settin waitin fur the
batcheldOr, but it wus arfter an he
hadn't cum yet, so we all went to bed.
