Senator Allison Asserts that the Legisla-
 ture Is Republican.
 DUBUQUE, Ia., Nov. 9.-Senator Ali son returned last night>from the head quarters of the Republican State Com mittee, where he has been for the past two days, and says the Legislature is safely Republican by eight on joint ballot, and possibly ten, as one district is still in doubt.
 He has no fears of any combination between any of the Republican mem bers and the Democrats to defeat him. The Herald" (Dem.) proposes that the opposition combine on Governor-elect Boies, and believes he can be elected over Mir. Allison.
 It thinks the recalcitrant Republican members of the Legislature will vote for him sooner than for any other man in the State.
 The following despatch was received from ex-President Cleveland yesterday:
 NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Mir. NJ. M Ham. Dubuque, Ia.

FACTS ABOUT OLIVES.
Together with a Priceless Suggestion for
 Careful Housekeepers.

Together with Priceless Suggestion for
 Careful Housekeepers.
 Do you eat olivess :
 This is question which Is being asked constantly in high society, and which every person must answer once for all, if not oftener than that.
 It is question which will interest your digestive faculty very much, question of vital importance. The new generation with their appetizers, live in that happy and tranquil medium between the extremes of the olive and the iron tonic; they acquired a taste for them when they were young and have kept up the accomplishment ever since.
 Olive oil is not made from olives any more than dogmas are made from dogs; there IS, however, an extract of this sort sold in this country, but it IS very costly. l think a jeweier charged me $2 30 for putting a drop and quarter in my watch. The lubricant We grease our salads with IS obtained from cotton seeds.
 Olives range in price from 15 cents to s1 50 quart; but the olive is the same yes terday, to-day and to-morrow-it is the bot tie which varies in value. When person buys the 15 cent or bulk olives, he receives them in a paper sachel which allows the sa- line water to tricl5le down his clothes to the sidewalk, so that even Q Pinkerton detect i've could trace him to his lair; yet, al though he congratulates himself on saving s1.35, he may be deceived. since the neck ot the bottle containing the S150 article is SC slim that it will hardly admit tie pickle fork, and when the purchaser passes the olives around to some dear friend, he looks the other way while his guest harpoons the fruit, drives it up in corner, and finally abandons it altogether. Thus a we'll sc lected bottle of olives will last careful housekeeper e-time, and be moro eco uomical than the cheaper brand
