SUFFOCATED. - A MonteZuma Re-
publican extra of Monday brings this
sad news: &c. c. Rapp was found dead
at half past ten o'clock this morning in
his sleeping apartment over the store
in which he clerked in Davenport. He
retired last night at the accustomed
hour with a friend. Not appearing at
the store at the usual hour his employ
er thought it possible that he was out
Of the city and but little note was taken
of his absence until bursted gas pipe
was discovered in the basement. 1t was
seen that the gas had been escaping for
some time and was drawn by a strong
curreut through partition and it was
then that Mr.. Rapp's fate was suspected.
The door of his room was bursted open
and lying on the floor near the door,
dressed as if ready to leave the room
was the form of his dead friend. Mr..
Rapp had not left the bed and had made
no move indicating anything but that
the deadly gas had silently stolen in
upon him and overcome him while
asleep"

ABOUT RIGHT.-The Prairie City ID'
dex rightly says that "a doctors life is
one of great sacrifice. He hasn't an
hour he can call his own. He cannot
count with certainty upon attending
any social event. He must be on the
go at any and all hours, day or night
through storms, over the worst of roads,
whether the nights are moonlight OF
dark as pitch; must visit all sorts OF
people, humor their whims, be accused
of criminal negligence or malpractice
when patient dies, that some old
woman says could have been saved by
some of her old almanac compounds;
expected to be always cheerful, to come
at the moment called and take for pay
an uncertain reward in heaven. So to
be doctor one must have the cOnstitu-
ton of horse, the patience of Job and

Hoo VALUEs.-Hogs sold l Chicago
on Friday at $8.15 gold, the highest value
known for hogs with the hair on since
the war period. AS comparison of
prices we quote from the Register,
which in turn takes leaf from Father
Clarkson's cash book: Jan. 5, 1865,
sold nine hogs at 1880 per 100 lbs.,
1880" That was pretty big price
for hogs, but that the Iowa farmer who
sells his pork to-day at 81 per 100 lbs.
is really doing better than his predeces-
sor did in 1865 is evidenced by the fol-
lowing entry in the same book on the
same date: Ten pounds of coffee at
soc, 1856; ten pounds of sugar at $3.50,
1888; twelve spools of thread, $40;
one gallon kerosene oil, .S1.30. Hogs
then were sold dressed. 1t would be
nine mere pigs that would only bring
1880. Then, also, the money really
was worth only forty cents on the real
dollar. So that then the values paid
to-day are the greatest known in the
history of the land, and also, more can
be bought in the substantials than
ever before with the same money, and
of better quality.
