Charles and Thaddeus Ruff and John

THE Iowa STATE BYsTANDER, which
proposes to be an exponent of the col

with the last named gentleman, but
have known the Ruffs since their boy
hood. Charles was in our employ for
seven years and we know him to be a
man of ability, frst-class printer and
a hard worker. We sincerely hope the
venture will be successful.

IOWA MINERs' SITUATION.

The union coal miners of Iowa are
still in hot water. Many of those who
were prominent in the late strike find
themselves without jobs. Many Of the
operators refuse to sign the compro-
mise contract, and as result some of
the mines IN this district are still idle.
Just what the outcome will be is hard
to guess. Before another year passes
by there will be 500 more Negroes Dig
ging coal in Iowa than ever before.
The operators are satisfied that they
make the safest and best miners, all
things considered

A brief history of the First Parish

A brief history of the First Parish
church at Portland Maine. informs us
that in the 169 years since that church
was established there have been but
seven ministers. Surely the people of
that parish appreciated a good minister
when they found him and weren't often
disappointed in their choice The first
pastor, Thomas Smith. remained with
it 50 years. Rev. Samuel Deane, who
followed him, was colleague and pastor
for five years, and his successor, Rev.
Ichabod Nichols, was colleague and
and pastor for 80 years.

Congressman Cousins Ora atory.

Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
declared that the oration of his col
league, Congressman Cousins, at the
Soldiers Home in this city, was by all
odds the best delivered anywhere in
the United states on this OCCASION.
Representative Hepburn is a judge of
good oratory, and his tribute to his
young colleague was prompted by a
sincere admiration of his effort.
Cousins is one of the youngest members
of the house. He left college but few

AN ARTISTS INSPIRATION.

Unable to Draw "a Picture Except In the
Presence of n Certain Figure.
Walter Burridge, the artist, tells a
good story on himself and proves it by
showing the blank space ON the wall
where the picture, one of the ac-
cessories of the tale, used to hang.
He went one day to the studio Of
friend and found there an anatomical
figure, such as are to be seer in studios
everywhere. 1t was good one, and
Burridge wanted it, for his own had
been broken. He expressed desire to
have it, but the artist friend wouldn't
give it up for any money. 1t was his
inspiration, he said. He needed it even
for the composition of letter. And
as for drawing anything in the human
figure without it, that was simply
hopeless. He couldn't spare it.
So Burridge went away. But another
day, while in the same studio and in
the absence of the owner, third
artist, who commonly shared the place
and worked there, said Burridgc could
have the model if he wanted The
owner had concluded to get along
without it.

came back. He sat down and tried to

Maybe it is your brains," said the
man who shared his room. 'Burridge

The figure.' cried the artist.
"That's it." And he started out. When
he came back he brought not only the
figure, but water color sketch as
well. 1t had taken Burridge days to
complete the picture, and it marked
one of the pleasantest events in his So
journ along the Grand canyon of the

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, III nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best

A MOVING MOUNTAIN.
1t Is Travelling Slowly But Surely Dow
the Columbia River.

~ Is lrANeung SLOWLY but surely DOWN
the Columbia River.
A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades Of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple-peaked mass of dark brown
basalt, 6 or s miles in length where it
fronts the river, and rises to the height
of almost 1000 feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
that would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of anyone passing it, yet
it is well-established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down to the river, as if it had
a deliberate purpose some time in the
future to dam the Columbia and form a
great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles.
In it's forward and downward move
ment the forest along the base of the
ridge has become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps can be seer
standing dead in the water on this
shore. The railway engineers and
brakemen find that the line of railway
that skirts the foot of the mountain is
being continually forced out of place.
At certain points the permanent way
and rails have been pushed or 10 feet
out of line in few years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe-
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk of the
mountain, rests on a substratum OF
conglomerate or of soft sandstone,
which the deep, swift current of the
mighty river is constantly wearing
away, or that this softer subroclz is of
itself yielding at great depths to the
enormous weight of the harder min
eral above. - Goldthwait's Geograph-
ical Magazine.

Cheap and Effective Tree Guards.

Four years ago I had al orchard Of
seventy trees planted, on open
ground, between my house and that
of neighbor The orchard was we'll
cultivated, and the ground kept en-
tirely clear Of weeds AM trash; and
as my neighbor kept two hunting
dogs, which made it their business to
kill every rabbit that vcntured into
that locality, [ thought it entirely
unnecessary to provide any protec-
ton for the trees. Late in the win
ter there came light fall of snow,
accompanied by severe cold weather.
I looked over the orchard the follow
ing morning, and not track of any
kind was to be seen, but the second
morning l noticed few rabbit
tracks, and, TIC my great surprise [
found that fully One-third Of the
trees had been gnawed, four Of them
being completely girdled. The tracks
showed plainly that the mischief had
been done by rabbits. My neighbor

1t would be better for farm horse

noon and night. There seems to be
variety Of opinions touching this
point. 1t is almost q universal habit
TO give farm horses water but three
times day-mOrning noon and
night. There seems 10 be no better
reason for this than that it is conye-
nient to do so, and that it would be
inCOnyenient to do otherwise as a
rule. All agree that the horse
ought TO have what water he
