Some members of d. M. Carithers
family heard a crashing of glass III the
conservatory in the rear of the hand
some residence on B street in the heart
of Santa Rosa, Cal Will Carithers, on
investigation, found wild spike buck
among the flowers The animal was
trembling in every muscle, and there
were bleeding wounds on the neck,
caused by the broken glass through
which he had jumped on entering the
conservatory. The whole family came
out to see the remarkable sight of wild
deer in a conservatory filled with rare
flowers
While some one was thinking about
getting 81 gun. the small boys in the next
yard climbed the fence and frightened
the deer, which made its exit from the
other side of the conservatory smashing
another large glass. The animal dashed
past the excited people from the house
into the street, clearing the high fence
in a graceful leap. 1t then dashed down
through one of the main residence streets
and was finally killed by a crowd of
boys near the slaughter house on the
outskirts of the CITY, The animal is sup
posed to have been chased in from Hood
mountain. several miles east, by hounds.
When dressed it weighed 1870 pounds.
The damage to the conservatory flowers
was between $50 and S100.-Cor San

indian Cunning.

C. FL. Russell. an old resident of Ari-
zona, speaking of the trouble among the
indians, asserted that in his opinion the
most intelligent and at the same time
the most cunning of the western saw
ages are the San Carlos Apaches. To
them, according to Mr. Russell, is due
the invention of the centre fire cartridge.

nine years ago." he continued, "their

the following paragraph from the Sioux
City journal to the Sioux Falls Press
as being in the line of recent discussions:
Some of the saloon men of ST. Joseph.
Mo-. threaten a boycott on the Daily
News on account of its advocacy of mid
night and Sunday closing, according to
the law. But the News defies them.
And M by the way of suggestion it says:
THE respectable element among the
saloon men will yet be on top in st.
Joseph, and when that times comes the
class of men who willfullY and de6antly
violate the law will not be able to OBJ
tain Il saloon license" The News, how
ever. is over-sanguine. The time will
never come. in ST. Joseph Or elsewhere,
when the respectable element among
the saloon men will be equal to strict
enforcement of any law intended to reg
uate saloons. The saloon is inherently
awless

Some of our Iowa Democratic papers

How APUzZLl Was SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And When the puzzle is solved for YOU,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you2
And you would like to hear of one puz-
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
at the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon bya
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, Mljudged that the Wheeler s.
Wilson machines were the best of ALL and
awarded that company the highest prize of.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved BY the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No. 9 and No. 12 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 9, for family use, and the No. 1s,
for manufacturing uses, are the best i'll the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma.
chine, ii you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault

recent propositions submitted to it bv
The REPUBLICAN,, with reference to
70 the effectiveness of liquor laws gen
orally, says:
!. ANY law, whether pertaining to the
tslquof tra11ic or TO anything else, is ef-
iectlve III any community precisely and
ohly IN proportion TO the positive senti-
inent therein which it may represent.
!" Those laws will be most ocn-
efall y effective everywhere which ure
~ most nearly in line with what NAV be
the universal positive sentiment.
The Press does not admit further that
the effectiveness of tho liquor laws is
influenced by the disrespect for all law
that the saloon business engenders, but
says:
Undoubtedly the business does eneen-
Ger q IN those engaged therein the sell

Whether you give them credit or not.
the fact remains, so far as our obserya-
tlon extends, that this disregard of all
restrictive or regulative laws has conc
1arther than mere desire To make
more money and has entered into The
politics OF every municipality where
the saloon has been tolerated. The DOS
ltlon OF the Press is logical il we are to
consider the liquor business in the same
light as any other business which may
have objectionable features dependent
on public sentiment for control. but con-
sldered in the light of the exaggerated
Importance the saloon has ALWAYS taken
on III local politics and the special priv
lleges il has always enjoyed we adhere
to our view that the failure ofall liuuor
laws is due primarily to the disrespect

saloon engenders wherever it is tolera-
ted. Meanwhile VIC believe that the
only fair test of the present liquor
law is to have it enforced.

DuA.s REVIEW.
Trade Not over-Active, But There's Lot,

as to the future. At Philadelphia new
wool is selling at a decline, in some
grades = cents, while the worsted trade
is contracting and carpets have small
margins. Business in shawls and knit
ting goods is larger than usual. Pitts
burg reports no change in iron, except
that bessemer steel is stronger. AT Cleve-
land dry goods. groceries and hardware
are moving fairly, and manufactured
iron is in far better demand, but coal
and ore are inactive. Chicago reports
increase of 200 per cent. in movement
of wool and some increase in flour,
wheat, cheese and butter, but decrease
in hides. in lard third, and in cured
meats one-half, with dry goods and shoe
trade larger than year ago, plenty of
money for legitimate business and moth
ing for SPECTATORS. At Milwaukee
good crop reports stimulate manufact-
urers and jobbers, and at st. Paul rains
have made the crop prospects excellent.
Kansas City trade is fairly satisfactory.
Money Shows Strength.
In all parts of the country the money
markets show surprising strength,
notwithstanding the loss of gold to Eu-
rope, and while closeness is reported at
Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati. st. Louis,
Nashville and Savannah. reports from
nearly all cities indicate that nobody is
suffering except speculators. In brief,
the situation is not good for gamblers,
but for producers and legitimate traders
decidedly hopeful.

chosen.
But suppose the constituents of these

With the administration of President
Harrison anu really feel that he is en-
titled to be his own successor for the
best interests of the country, to say
nothing of the party, upon what
grounds will these opposing senators
place their opposition? Has MIR. Har-
rison failed in any particular to accord
the west fair treatment, or is il because
in making his appointments he has in
sisted upon having something to say in
connection with them so long as he was
to be held responsible for their charac-
ter after they were made? The time is
coming when these questions will be
asked pretty generally and it is nomore
than fair that the opposition to the
President, as above indicated, should
put its objections into tangible shape.

A romantic but tragic event occurred
IN this city recently A pine coffin and
unshrouded corpse We're all that was left
to tell the story of a sad life and its end.
The victim was John Je1nisoD. He lived
what to many would be considered an
uneventf'1l life However, without
knowing it, he was heir to wealth greater
than that attributed to the fabled Monte
Cristo. He died so poor in ready cash as
not to have enough to bury him decently.

longed to the deceased when he discov-

the heroes of the Texas struggle. He
was IL Capt. .lemison in the service of
Gen. Sam Houston when Texas was a
republic. In this epistle, which was
written to a relative in Chicago, he says
that he will not be able to return to the
loved oncs at his home. but that he ex-
poets to meet the. very fate that did be-
fall him when some time after he fell

this land Wis located in the very heart

and has been filed with the clerk of the
county court here as a preliminary step
toward the recovery of some valuable
property located in this city. Since the
