For about six years there was very little
besides board and clothes in life for Mr.
Gear, but finally he earned an interest in a
Burlington grocery house and established a
very successful wholesale business. Early
in life he took an interest in politics and in
1868 became the first Republican mayor of
Burlington. He.was elected member of
the fourteenth general assembly and after
desperate deadlock in 1878 was chosen
speaker of the legislature. He gave the
state one of the shortest and most business
like sessions in its history and was again
elected speaker in 1874.
BY this time he was shrewd, self edu-
Gated business man, and his reputation as
a politician had made him one of the prom
inent men in Iowa. In 1877 he was nom-
mated for governor on the Republican tick
ct, and although there were four different
party nominations he was elected, but by q
minority vote. Two years later he was re-
elected by plurality of 720O0 Mr.. Gear
gave his approval to a number of prohibi
tion measures and showed such executive
I ability that he won the sobriquet "Old

Prof. Tyn6all's First Experience on the
Lecture Platform.
Ab~-tt forty years ago, when DIR.
Bence Jones was leader and great
authority among the scientific organi.
cations of England, he received let
ter from Germany, saying:
"You English are the oldest people.
Here, to our laboratories, comes every
year young Irish schoolmaster called
Tyndall, with the quickest brain, the
most honest capacity for research
have ever seen. Would that our Ger
man youths were run from the same
mold.
This brilliant young fellow has
never received the smallest recogni-
ton from English men or institutions,
and he tells me to-day that, quite dis
heartened at last, he is preparing
to cmigrate to America"
Tyndall went through London, not
long afterward, to make preparations
for visiting America, and DR.. Jones
took care to meet him. He fell at once
under the spell of his wonderful tai.
ents, and determined to bring him to
public notice.
III won't take any middle course" he
said. Il think you can leap to The
top at once. / shall announce that
you win lecture at the Royal institu-
ton"
The announcement was made, and
all London trooped to hear "Bence
Jones' wild Irishman." As the great
physician drove his protege down to
the hall, he suddenly exclaimed:
But Tyndall, where are your notes?"
"Notes?" was the reply. Il haven't
any notes"
mo notes." rejoined the other, al
most IN agony. ''Do you realize that
you are not going to address parcel
of Irish gossoons, but an audience of
famous experts on your own subject?"
Tyndall smiled. WELL" said he,
I'm afraid it's too late now"
The hall was crowded. All the lead
ers Of science were present. Tyndan,
who had never lectured before, stepped
into the famous tribune, smiled, bowed |
and poured forth the results of his
experiments without fall
tering or pausing. He closed his ad- |
dress in the midst of wild applause; |

other gladiator who held his position
of prominence SO long. For rumo,
has it that the famous John L. does
not always confine lis pugilism to the
arena, but does little private practic.
ing upon his wife.
However this may be, we have the
pleasing picture Of Dixon returned
from tho fray, seated In his favorite
room, surrounded by evidences Of lux
ury, while he reconnts his experiences
to the wife who is always an attentive
and intelligent listener. Here he has
collected rare works of art and bric-a-
brac, and books of which he is very
fond. For Dixon is not illiterate, as
many suppose. On the contrary, he Is
possessed Of a large amount of intelli-
gence, and is very fond of reading.
his favorite author is Charles Dickens,
whom he regards as a genius. With
his book and his cigar, he whites away
his time when he is not in training.
Training is not SO much of an ordeal
with him as with some pugilists, for
he is able to keep in trim without such
severe measures as many are compelled
to resort to.
II eat and drink what please, says
he. "a man is a chump who deprives
his stomach of good food to keep him.
self in trim. He will have to pay for
it sooner or later with the loss of his
health. Eat all you want, and get
plenty Of sleep-that's my doctrine"
Dixon usually does his training
around Boston, near his home. His
programme when preparing for bat
tie is as follows: He rises at seven a.
m, takes a I ;n-mile walk encased in
two heavy sweaters; is then thoroughly
rubbed down with coarse towels.
witch-hazel and preparation Of his
own invention; half an hour later
he breakfasts upon chops, coffee or
tea, bread and vegetables. Then
comes another another walk and an
other rundown. At one O clock he eats
a dinner of soup, chops, steak,
vegetables, coffee or tea and a bottle
OF Bass ale. He then rests until three
o'clock, after which he varies the in
evitable walk with such exercises as
punching the bag, skipping the rope
and throwing the medicine ball. His
supper at six is exactly like his break
fast, and at nine o'clock he retires. He
believes that man who follows this
course of training will soon become
robust. healthy and vigorous without
denying himself the comforts of good
food, or the solace of the weed, in /,
which he takes SO much delight.
A certain aged mustard-colored ul-
ster plays an important part in Dixon's
battles. Enveloped in this garment
he charms away defeat as he awaits his
turn before and between rounds. He
regards it as sort of mascot. With
this old coat he has courted fate for
many years and nothing could indnce
him to part with it.

WICHITA WHOLESALE \ MANUFACTURING HOUSES
LEGAL LOVERS VOWS.
An Easllsh Paper Proposes to slnp,h

An EnRIish Paper Proposes to Simplify
Breach of. Prosnise Suits.
The London Spectator. moved BY the
painful spectacle of the modern breach
of promise case, proposes novel ex
pedient in order to overcome the diff.
culties which such suits present. II
says: There would be one very simple
method of tightening the task of the
jury, which would also afford to young
women and their guardians a means of
ascertaining whether the lover had
any serious intention Of developing
into husband or not. Let no promise
of marriage be held valid unless it is
made in writing upon properly stamped
paper. If the plaintiff could produce q
formal promise Of this kind there
would be no need to go into all the
history Of G doubtful eourtship or to
consider any other factor in the assess
ment of damages than the respective
incomes of the contracting parties.
OF course, it will be objected that
such proposition is injurious to all
the romance of courtship and mar
rage. But where, we would ask, is
the romance in nine out of ten breach
Of promise cases that find their way
into the law courts? These cases are
hardly ever brought except by people
whose affections have not been deeply
engaged in their acceptance of sutton.
For one young woman who now brings
an action for breach of promise, at
least nine are Tilted and suffer in
silence. The more their affections
have been engaged the less can they
bear to tell the pitiful tale of their dis.
appointment, and witness the poor lit
tie romance Of their life exposed to the
ridicule and laughter Of an unsym-
pathetic world. If it once became an
understood thing that the ardent lover
should offer such proof of his good
faith, then girl would know well
what to expect from lover who with
held it. At any rate, parents or
guardians Of the lower middle class
would not allow q young man to grow
''too particular In his attentions"-as
their phrase runs-unless he showed a
to furnish this guaranty.
Then, if the promise were unfulflled, |
even the most modest and sensitive J
maiden could proceed againsther faith |
