Little Harry Ward. page in the
council. is the enthusiastic possessor OF
an autograph album, in which the
names of most of the senators he serves
so satisfactorily are attached to either
appropriate words OF advice. or .eX-
pressiOns of esteem and hopes OF future
prosperity and happiness: Several OF
these are such perfect indexes to the
predominating characteristics of The
men who wrote them, that they are
worth recording. Now there is q. A..
Hardstad: morei benevolent, kindly
gentleman one rarely meets. He writes ::
MAY you make plenty friends during
your days Of life" If A. l.. Van Osdell
is anything in this world, he is, Re
publican. and if he accompiishes any
thing he will owe it to that
political organization, which, however
perslstently it may preach civil service
reform. owes it's unnecessarily pro-
longed life to the fact thatit has, when
ever possible, rewarded blind party Icy
atty. He knows this, perhaps, from eA-
perlence, and unconsciously gives ut
terance to this fact when he advises the
embryonic statesman to ''Stand by the
Republican party" But it is left TO
President Smith Stimmel to

most completely. He is an emlnentfy
righteous man, and, of course, believes
all other thoughts than those soml'er
ones of the Creator, however unwelcome
they may be to the average youthful
mind, are but dross. he selects gem
from the horde of ancient maXims and
knocks all the levity out of the un-
offending boy with this: obedience Is
Gods first law" t-
sKINNERS. BILL.
Attorney General Skinner had his
heart set upon the passage of but one
bill. 1t allowed him to appoint an as
sistant, with the rare privilege of pay
ing for his services out of his own sal
airy. Mr.. Skinner is very popular and
has many friends, and. strange as it
may seem, those who are so fortunate
as know him most intimately, and con-
sequently esteem him most highly, were
the ones who wanted to defeat this
measure. his special favorite. ThiS
trouble arose from the generals motive
in the matter. He wanted to appoint
an assistant so that he could leave town
and atteEd to the vast husinessinterest
which he has under his control, and
that is just what his. friends didn't
want him to do. They. said to him :.
I'VE need thee every hour, and
no scheme by which you. can
make sneak goes" But it
did so, and so did the general,
much to the regret Of all. There
was a move on foot - in the
council some days since to take his
nomination down from where it hangs
along with rare collection of others,
and confirm it, but report says he per-
sonally requested the originator of the
idea not so favOrably distinguish him
from the other Democratic nominees.
SENATOR LOWRY.
Every one regrets that Senator Lowry
will not be here during the remainder
of the session. The death of a son In
Dubuque, To-, ocoaSi0ned a long,
tiresome journey, the effects of Which
the feebienesS of age could not
sustain. and after returning to his
duties i'm the council, he became entirely
exhausted, and remained but day or
two. He is now at his home in Huron.
No resolution which has come before
the legislature was adopted with such
hearty regret as that extending synIpa-
thy to him in his bereavement.
VOLCANIC JONES.
Jones. who is said to be. the only orig
inai, genuine volcano that was ever
in state of eruption in Charles Mix
county, recent sensational reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, was
either mistaken in his idea of
the estimate placed upon himself
by the house when he re-
marked during the first stormy days of
the session: ''lf l were to suggest three
cheers for the Savior of mankind, the
suggestion would be replied to with
groans; For else Sunset Cox ranks above
that ancient character of disputed att
tributes, for when he cheered the gem
tleman from New York on the floor
day or two since for what he had done
towards securing statehood, the answer
was entirely satisfactory. Maybe, how
ever. the volcano has gained the conf
dence of his brother statesmen.
Gavin, chairman of the house appro-
priatiOn committee, is said to have ac-
complished more good work, and made
less noise about it, than any other menu
Der. He is rapidly winning the reputa-
ton Of being that kind Of people.
