Thirty years ago Senator Sherman
of Ohio, was nominated for Congress.
He was SO poor that he had to mort
gage his home to get funds to carry on
his campaign. At five thousand year
his salary would amount to only $780,
900. But his check is good for several
millions anywhere. Now it takes a
good deal of economy to raise, educate,
feed and clothe family in thirty years

dollars out of it, "Honest John" SAYS

 In the matter of the territory vs. Lon Forsee, Thos. Elder, Manuel Gallardo, II. c. Mcdowell and W. o.

 We have examined the different coun- ty offices and beg leave to submit the reports of the committees on said offices Gs a part of this report.

 Dgs MoINEs, Iowa, May "A clnsid- erable number of Democratic county con ventions were held yesterday to select delegates to the state convention which meets at Council Bluffs May II. All of them, SO far as reported, were enthusi- astic for Gov. Boies for president, and most of them instructed the delegates to work for state delegation to gc to Chi cago instructed for him. So far as Iowa is concerned the general belief is that Cleveland could not carry the state, while Boies, they think, could. It is al- so the belief of the majority that Cleve- land could hardly carry his own state of New York, unless some difficulties are settled there, which is extremely doubt ful of accomplishment. Hence, while Cleveland has many admirers among the Iowa Democracy, as a presidential quantity he is hardly thought of.
 Gov. Boies may now be said to be in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Democrats of Black Hawk county, which IS the governor 8 home, held their convention today and formarly announce his candidacy by passing the follow ing resolution:
 Resolved That the Democracy of Black Hawk county, proud of their distinguished fel. low citizen of Iowa, Gov.

Consul Denby, of Peking, China, re- ports that in 1889 from one port, ichang, there were exported l3,00O pounds of tigers bones. For use as fertilizers the only use intelligent people seem to have for dead tigers--these bones might be worth $l50, yet they were entered at a value of 5000. They are to be used as medicine. From them will Do made a "tonic." which the Chinese invalid be- lieves will impart to him some of the tigers strength and fierceness. For the same medicinal" reasons 5000 pounds of "old deers' horn" were valued at $1,700.
