JOSLIN

JosLIN, June 81 Rock river is out of
its banks for the fifth time this spring.
Was there ever year in which there
has been more calamities from fire and
water than the present one?
There are fields of corn vet to be
planted. There has been so much wet
weather that the farmers could not work
more than one half of their time
Has the firm of Clarkson, Ouay g.
Dudley been dissolved by mutual consent?
Has not this sweet trio been remarkably
quiet since the convention? Did they not
get the positions under Harrison that
they thought the "blocks of five" bust
ness entitled them too2
Upwards of 1000 Office holdeis at the
republican convention, working like
beavers for Harrison's re denomination. So
after all American politics has got to
mean tustle for the "losves and fishes. -
There was "Chlldren's Day" at the
Methodist church on Sunday last. The
house was crowded and the exercises very
interesting.
So much milk has been brought to the
Joslin creamery of late that Mr.. Nutter
has had to put in another separator.
George Johnson, G. f. Schafer, Simon
Michaels, the administrators of the es, a e
of Alexander Zeigler and the directors of
Dunbar school house at Joslin, have
recently filed applications of insurance in
the Coe and Yuma Mutual.
The trouble with the politics of this
country is, we have travelled away from
the constitution and the Jeffersonian idea
of equal rights, by a system of protection
which means robbiDg somebody, and that
somebody is the farmer, and when we rob
the farmer we rob nearly every other
business profession with the exception OF
the auctioneer and undertaken
The Rock Island Weekly Union of q
recent issue makes the following state
ment: "Of the 66l, 600 people of the
little rocky state of Maine 176. 66S have
| $50 27S, 452 deposited in savings banks
This speaks volumes for the beneficent
effect of protection" This is another
sample of republican logic Because
two conditions exist one must be cause
and the other effect. If the Union could
see any further than the end of lis nose,
we would have some hopes for it. Have
the temperate habits of the people OF
Maine ANYTHING to do with its citizens
having money in the bank2

Tortoises That Made Good Eating

No provisions for ships were ever found
equal to the Galapagos tortoises, which
will remain in good condition for a year
without food or water. \ supply of the
latter is carried by the animals in a bag,
which contains as much as two gallons
sometimes. They are very sagacious, and
when kept on deck can be taught to con-
fine themselves to any space arranged for
their accommodation by whipping them
gently with ropes end when they get out
of it. The meat is said to be finer than
that of green turtle.
Dampier, the explorer who visited the
islands in 1854, wrote that the flesh re-
sembled a pullet's in flavor. THE oil, - he
says, 1--WE kept in jars, and used it instead
of butter to eat with dumplings." Rogers,
in 1907, wrote: THE eggs of the turtle are
as big as those of a goose, white, hard
shells and exactly round. Two men rode
on the back of one of the creatures, which
weighed 200 pounds, and it carried them
with ease. boston Transcript.

Set Him Right.

Geo. Augustus Sala, the we'll known
English writer, on his last Australian trip
wrote as follows to The London Daily
Telegraph:
81 especially have pleasant remember,
ance of the ships doctor-a very ex-
perienced maritime medico indeed, who
tended me most kindly during a horrible
spell of bronchitis and spssmodic asthma
provoked by the sea fog which had
swooped down on US just after we lief,
San Francisco But the doc'or's pres
criptions and the increasing warmth OF
the temperature as we neared the Tropics
and, in particular, couple of Allcock's
Porous Plasters clapped on-one on the
chest and another between the shoulder
blades-soon set me right"

Julia Ward Howe and Her Grandpa.

With all his gravity, Grandfather Ward
had his CLEANS of fun occasionally 1t is
told that Julia had a habit of dropping
off her slippers while at table. One day
her father felt a wandering shell of kid,
with no foot to keep it steady. He put
his own foot on it and moved it under his
chair, then said in his deep, grave voice,
My daughter, will you bring me my
seals, which | have left on the table in
my room?" And poor Julia, after vain
and frantic hunting with both feet, was
forced to 60, crimson checked, white
stockinged and slipperless, on the re-
quired errand She would never have
dreamed of asking for the shoe.-Laura E.

WORLDS FAIR VICTORY.
BUT THE APPROPRIATION is CUT
TO S2,5Oo,ooo.
After Disposing of this Matter and the
sundry Civil Appropriation Bill Both
Branches of Congress Adjourn.

Congress has adjourned. The Worlds
Fair secures an appropriation. The
House deadlock broken and the sundry
civil appropriation bill passes both
branches. This is the good news
which long suffering public has been
waiting to hear. The closing scenes
in both Senate and House were very
quiet and every member seemed re-
lieved when the last moment arrived.
The House, in committee of the whole,
took up the Durborrow compromise
on the Worlds Fair amend
ment to the sundry civil bill.
After over an hours discussion the
committee arose and reported the bill
which was then adopted by a vote of
13l TO SO. After several other matters
of minor Importance had been disposed
of the conference report on the sundry
civil bill was presented. The bill as
finally agreed upon appropriated S27,-
$4,000. This was 50, 600, 900 less than
the bill as it passed the Senate and
2,6l4,0 more than rs it passed the
House. AS to the PinSertOp amend
ment, it provided:
THAT no employe of the Pinkcrton
detective agency or any similar agency
shall be employed in any government
service or by any officer OF the District
OF Columbia" As Tie proposition orig
inally passed the House il provided that
no government official having the right
10 make contracts could contract with
any corporation, firm or person who
employed Pinkerton or other armed
guards. The report was adopted. a
few private bills were then acted upon
and the House adjourned singing the
doXology.
The SENATE was in executive session
when the Worlds Fair bill was re-
ceived from the House, but Immediately
opened the doors for legislative action.
The bill was bitterly criticised by sew
eTal members, but the feeling was gen
eral that further attempts TO create n
better measure would keep Congress in
session indefinitely and would be
scarcely satisfactory under the circum-
stances. The bill was then ordered to
a third reading and passed. AR. Stock
bridge said that he had intended to
call up resolutions in respect TO the
death of Representative Ford, of Mich
igan, but had found it inconvesIient to
do so; and he now gave notice that he
wonld do SO early in December next.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
received from the House. Mr.. Henderson
spoke upon the business of the
session. Mcssrs. Allison, German
and Cocl1rell made remarks upon
the appropriations made by this
Congress-; it being shown that
the total sun appropriated was S5O7,-
900, 0OO-an increase of S44, 900, 600 over
the last session. A few formal matters
were disposed OF and immediately after
Vice-Presidcnt Morton's farwel speech
the Senate adjourned without a day.
