ships was due to sail from her pier, smart
hanson ratified along the wharf and set
down two young men Immediately ar
rayed and carrying extensively labeled va
Uses. They bore every sign of the expert
enced traveller, and as they started up the
gangplank their blase air was the admira-
ton of all beholders. A stout, quietly
dressed man, who had been standing at
the foot of the gangplank back of one OF
the steamship officers for half an hour or
more idly gazing at the crowds, suddenly
woke into life, took few rapid steps that
brought him on the travellers heels, and
said: "Come now, Pete, take great big
jump; you can't do any business here to-
day. You get along too, Frenchy."
The blase young men wheeled about like
trained soldiers, said "All right, Jimmie"
and made for West street and another
hanson. A spectator was moved to in
quire into the wherefore of the occur
renee, and was told by the quiet man, who
was a central Office detective, that the two
young gentlemen were high class sneak
thieves who once made a luxurious living
by robbing steamship cabins. Their meth
cd of working was to go aboard like pas
sengers n few minutes before sailing time
saunter down into the saloon, dodge from
there into the unlocked stateroom fill
their travel stained valises with such little
things as silver topped toilet articles, bou
quet holders, and jewelry as they could
find. They were not above taking an ex
ira nice overcoat or steamer rug now and
then, either.
just rs the go-ashore bell would ring
they would back down the gangplank,
waving goodbys to an imaginary friend,
and then dispose of the spols. The steam
ship men finally caught on to the little
scheme. and now they have detectives sta
toned at their piers every sailing day

A President Shooting.

During the civil war an order was issued
forbidding the discharge of firearms within
the limits of Washington. All sorts OF
magazine and breech loading rifles had
been sent to the White House for the presi.
dents inspection. He had studied them,
and one afternoon he said to Mr.. Stoddard,
one of his private secretaries:
"They say you're pretty good marks.
man. At half past 6 tomorrow morning
we'll go out on the mall and try some OF
these guns"
In the morning the president said to his
secretary, who tells this story, you take
that thing and I'll take this, and We'll 20
right along"
"That thing" was an old Springfield
nusket, filled with q cartridge chamber
that went on and came off with a screw
twist. Mr.. Lincoln selected n Spencer rifle.
The secretary fired and made a good shot,
though the Springfield kicked him. Presi-
dent Lincoln crouched, that he might hold
his Spencer with an elbow resting on his
knee, and squinted along the blue barrel.
A short sergeant and four or five men on
guard duty, hearing the firing, had run up
to the two marksmen.
Stop that firing Stop that firingr'
exclaimed the sergeant.
Bang went the rifle, and the Presidents
tall, gaunt form shot up to its height. He
smiled upon the shouting sergeant, who,
recognizing him, stood still, and was silent.
Then the squad, without uttering word,
executed a Right about, face" and with
double quick, raced to the guard house.
"Well, they might have staid and seen
the shooting" said the President, with a
laugh,

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of con-
sumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma
and all throat and lung affections, also
a positive and radical cure for nervous
debility and all nervous complaints, af-
ter having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt
it his duty to make it known to his suf-
fering fellows. Actuated by this mo-
tive and a desire to relieve human suf-
fering, will send free of charge, to all
who desire it, this recipe, in German,

for preparing and using. Sent by mail

Don't Get SeasiclS.

Lemons, oranges, champagne-all these
are recommended, but the best recon-
mendation, the most practical and COM
mon sense, is to let the seasickness have
It's way, and then you are over with it.
You can modify any possible attack by a
little care as to diet a day or two before
sailing by avoiding greasy and rich foods,
and this is wise. But don't go on board
with the settled idea that you are going to
be sick. Dismiss the thought. Keep on
your feet the first day out. Walk up and
down the deck continuously. BY this
method you get accustomed to the motion
of the ship, tire yourself out, and, if you
are any sort of sleeper, you will sleep
soundly the first night. Then the worst is
over.
But if not, and you do get sick, Just &C
cept it philosophically. Of course you will
feel miserable, but let the spell run its
course and it is done; and you are better
for it, and certainly wiser than to try and
cure it by mixture of things, which only
give the stomach a reason for a continu-
ance of proceedings. One of the leading
medical authorities in the world says that
fifteen grains of sulphate Of qu!nine, ad-
ministered two hours or four hours at the
most before embarking, will completely
free even sensitive subjects from the hor-
rors of Observation-Disclosures Home Journal.

WHEN Gov. Boies was in New York
reciting his tale of woe about Iowa
farms and farmers, speaking of raising
corn for five years he said:
1.-THE ACTUAL COST OF PRODUCING
THIS CEREAL, THE MOST PROFITABLE
OF ALL THAT ARE RAISED WITHIN
THAT STATE, HAS, DURING THE SAME
PERIOD, EXCEEDED TIE ENTIRE VALUE
OF THE CROP WHEN HARVESTED, SAY
ING NOTHING WHATEVER OF INCOME
PROM THE CAPITAL INVESTED IN THE
LAND REQUIRED TO PRODUCE IT."
"WHAT Is TRUE OF TIE PRODUCTION
OF CORN IN IOWA Is EQUALLY TRUE OF
ALL THE GREAT STAPLES RAISED on
HER FARMS"

Tie New York Sun does not SEQ
much encouragement in the situation
in Ohio for the democrats il the fight
is allowed to go on as it has COM
menced with the tariff question the
main issue and Major Mckinley the
central figure in the struggle. 1t
warns Its democratic friends that the
people are tired of the tariff and
suggests that fight on state issues
and the billion dollar congress would
be productive of much better results.
But the democrats OF the Buckeye
state are In no condition to accept the
advice OF the Sun, even If they should
have a mind to do 80. They opened
out on the tariff question last fall and
now they cannot let go Of the bear IN
til the bear is satisfied. Ana that will
rot be until Major Mckinley is put in
the executive Office, and the state is
made safely republican in all its de-
partments. The advice OF the Sun
may be good enough but it comes just
about twelve months too late to be Of
any service.

THE Herald on Sunday published a
list of sixty-three citizens of Dubuque,
then claiming to be republicans, who
in April, 1890, signed petition to the
legislature to modify the prohibitory
law. OF these sixty-three, one has re-
moved from Dubuque, three of them
will probably vote for Boies this year
as they did two years ago and the other
fitty-nine or sixty will vote for Hon. II.
c. Wheeler, the republican nominee.
There is not single grain of satisfac.
ton in this list to the Herald or any
democrat, but on the contrary it shows
very clearly that Dubuque republicans
like thousands of other republicans in
the state of Iowa, can remain steadfast
to their ticket and loyal to their party
even though they would like to see
some of the laws changed. These re
publicans, like others, know very wei
that Governor Bots is a tricky dema
gogue and that he would not be able in
any way TO do any more toward chang
ing the laws of the state during the
next two years than he has the past
two, and they do not propose to throw
their vote awBy by voting for him ant
thus injuring the party and benelittins
their enemy in the face of presiden
tial campaign.-Dubucu Times.

THE following from the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil sounds the explosion
of one of the pet fakes which "Our
Tom" Bowman has been advertising in
his Globe: Last evening was the date
set for an adjourned meeting of the anti
prohibition republican club in the SUI
perior court room at the county court
house. The hour named was o'clock
and as the time approached the vast
court room was fast filling with empti-
ness. When the time for calling the
meeting to order came a count showed
just six ants faithful. An equal mum.
Der of spectators were scattered around
and that was all. At $50 some made
a moye-for the door, and that assem-
blage formed procession, filed down
the stairs into the night air and heaved
a sigh of relief. And the goddess of
justice, who stands on the dome against
the star-lit sky, smiled on the departing
forms as they moved away to peaceful
dreams"

Raising Fall Wheat.

A new product has come to the front
in Cass county which bids fair to be
come very important in a financial
sense. We refer to fall wheat, which
is no longer an experiment but an adj
mitted success, and is the most prOfta-
BILE crop our farmers have raised this
season. Fifteen or twenty years ago
spring wheat was one of our great
staples. The land was new and the
yield very heavy. Hundreds of farm
ers paid for their land with single crop.
The production fell off year by year
until a field of wheat was rare spec
tacle. About five years ago Geo. Frank
lin and a few other Cass county farm
ers commenced experimenting with fall
wheat. Few thought it could be raised
here and they had to combat much pref
udice. Time has yindicaten them and
this year hundreds of acres have been
sown which next year will be multiplied
into thousands. Fall wheat commands
the highest price in the market and
yields heavily. We have yet to hear of
field which has turned out less than
twenty bushels this season, and the
range is from that figure to forty bush
els. That the day of cheap wheat has
gone by is the opinion of the best econ
omists and all unite in the assertion
that prices will constantly tend upward
because of the fact that the worlds
consumption is growing much faster
than the production.-TelegrGph.

For Free Whisky.

DeS MOines Leader, leading demo
cratic paper Of Iowa, May 18th, 1891;
High license limits the number of sa-
looms, fosters monopoly in the hands of
few men, encourages adulteration,
and in no respect lessons intemperance.
Low license simply increases the num-
Der of saloons and changes their char
acter from places of gilded splendor cal
culated to entice the curious and I'M
wary, to neighborhood resorts. In the
absence of prohibition free traffic sup
plemented by strict laws for the punish
ment Of adulteration, fraud and drunk
enness would render the Objectionable
saloon of today a thing of the past. 1t
may be that public sentiment in Iowa
today, hoodoOed as it has been for years
past by bowling worldsavers who aim
to furnish bliss on the half shell by leg
islative enactment, will demand a
liquor license law, and that it may ap-
pear wise to defer to that sentiment.
AS relief from the present practical
operation of prohibition we may toler-
ate license law, but cannot reconcile
it with the basis principles of democ-
racy."

Hon. III. c. WHEELER, who will be
the next governor of Iowa, favored the
Bee with call yesterday. The farmer
candidate is confident the republicans
will win in November and gives good
reasons for the faith that is in him.
The personal attacks made upon his
financial credit have no weight with
people who have known him a great
many years as a successful farmer
Mr.. Wheeler looks the ideal governor
He is portly man with a genial man

monious party and is making an ag,

by meeting the people.-Omaha Bee.

DOES the reader understand how it
happened that the democratic party
left local option out of the platform ?
1t was this way. The liquor men were
there in force, and they swore by the
great horn spoons, if local option were
were put in, they would rip the whole
thing up the back, so the committee
left it out. They had not the courage
to settle the matter in convention like
the republicans did, but preferred to
plaster the job up afterwards. Dem

key and one part moral cowardice.-

Foreigners Endorse Democracy.

Foreigners ENDORSE democracy
See how the foreigners endorse the
Democratic statement that our trade is
being ruined by the Republican policy
OF protection. Van Sieman, the great
German electrician, was quoted n few
days ago in the dispatches as saying
that it was time for the European ma
tions to unite commercially against
American aggression. He said:
america is not only shutting out
many OF our products by prohibitive
weges, but speaks OF treaties OF trade
with the South American republics
and even with Africa and Asia. Power
naturally makes America oppressive
and Europe must take care or her in
terestc will be pnshed TO the wall. II
America keeps on as now we shall
have to go to the commercial wall. ="
1t must be conceded that there is some
value in 4 system that enables ma
ton but little more than a century
old to frighten the people OF Europe
into an alliance OF the kind mentioned
VIII anybody claim that we could have
reached such position under free trade
or the Democratic scheme for q tariff
for revenue only.-Burlington Hawk
