Settle.
In their answer, Cowan, Donaca,
| Roberts and Settle set up that the pro-
perty ofCowan was transferred for the
benefit of the creditors Of Cowan, and
the depositors Of Lebanon, and that
; there was no fraud or conspiracy.
When the Linn County bank sued, by
Beall, Its receiver, an attachment
against Cowan ct al. was also issued.
On the 2sth day Of May Judge Bel
linger passed certain decree that the
assignment Of properties, real and per-
senal, from the defendant, J. l.. Cow
an, to Donace, Settle and Robarts

and transfers were decreed to be for
the benefit of the creditors, and re-
ceiyer was appointed, to whom should

decree proyeded that 1t was condi-
toned upon the written assent of the
Linn County bank and waiver by 1t

accept the terms Of the decree, and

Next to the lynx eyed younger brother

generally does this when the minister ia
calling or when your prospective moth.
er-in-law is eagerly drinking in the sto-
ry Of your youthful crime.
Then the friend of your youth goes on
and enumerates forgotten love affairs,
recalls your successive flirtations and
conveys to the listeners the impression
that you were very gay person indeed.
She feels free because Of her position to
criticise your clothes, your manner,
your fiance and your looks. For the
same reason she considers herself at lib.
erty to borrow any Of your possessions,

The progress Of socialism is making
the Duke of Cambridge sadder-it could
not of course make him wiser-nan
1t was very sad, he said at a charity
dinner, to think that the masses were
led to believe that they could benefit
themselves by pulling down the classes.
In this world, continued his roval
highness, of course it was impossible
for all of us to be on level, for if all
were made equal one day some would be
superior on the morrow. Fortunately
the world was governed and ought to be
governed by common sense, and he hoped
1t would always continue to be.
But the duke forgets two things. The
first is that it is quite possible to imagine
a new order of society under which those
who would be superior on the morrow"
would be so in virtue of merit and not of
birth. And the second is that under the
existing order of society, though proved
capacity can often ascend. no effective
means-as Professor Huxley somewhere
laments-has yet been found for making
proved incapacity descend. --Westmin.

to his fox terrier: "Ono day, while the

thought lost. No further notice was

Growing Walking STICKS.

The cultivation of material for walk
ing sticks is carried on in quite an eX-
tensive scale in some parts of Europe,
and special attention is often paid to
making the roots grow into shapely
forms for handles. While in London last
year | went in to manufacturing es-
Enlistment, the floor space of which
covers nearly an acre. This concern has
storehouses filled with native and for
eign sticks, from which stock is drawn
as wanted for the shops The sticks as
they grow are often very crooked and
have to be Strengthened A heap of sand
is piled on the top Of u hot stove, into
which the sticks are plunged until they
become pliable. The workman takes the
crooked stick while it is yet hot and
inserts it in a notch cut in q stout board,
placed at an angle inclined from him,
where he bends and strains it. When it
has become perfectly straight, it is
thrown down to cool, after which it be-
comes rigid and permanent in its lines
The same power which makes o crooked
stick straight is applied to make a
straight one crooked. All the various
kinds of sticks that are required to be
curled or twisted are, by the application
OF heat, made to assume almost any
shape or form. st. Louis Globe Demo

A New Umbrella Stand,

A funny incident Of drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall hat entered, and seeing no rack in
the hall placed his hat on the floor lust
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered with n large. drip.
ping umbrella, and peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle saw in the
gloom the hat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor, for he mis-.
TOOK 1t for one of the new umbrella
holders, and in it he deposited his drip
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and in short
time the solemn looking hat was stanch-
~ holding dozen umbrellas. At the
end CT the meeting the water In the hat
was an inch in depth. London Tit Bits.

Discussing "Rlnnmers.n

Women of all nationalities and all
opinions were at the big congress of rep
resentative women. 1t is pleasant to OBJ
serve that the first topic discussed was
dress. Brains and reform came in their
turn, but the congress started off with a
philosophical recognition of the innate
and Interchangeable law of interest in
wherewithal she shall be clothed, before
women goes forth to conquer whatever
province of endeavor she chooses. There
is something prophetic in the sweet Sc
renity of spirit with which Lucy Stone
discussed the "bloomer" attempt and
failure Of 40 years ago. None of the
younger women who stood on the table
to show their new style reform dresses
can equal the grace of Lucy Stones phi

Mr.. Cleveland has by force of prece-
ceiving the general public three times a
week in the great east parlor, but there
is little doubt that he should like, as prob
ably any other president would like,
to escape this task of handshaking. The
hour set for this function is 80 p. H..
just after tho president has eaten lunch
con. A man who is 50 intimately famil
lar with Mr. Cleveland as to know his
private personal ways is authority for
the statement that upon every one Of
these public reception days Mr.. Cleve-
land has gone to his bedroom and there
quietly slipped into his pocket revolver,
and then descended the stairs to the east
parlor.
Moreover, the throng of visitors who
flock to these public receptions is kept
at some distance from the president as
he stands in the doorway which serves
as an exit for those who pass him. This
is done by'a Gordon Of servants of the
house, who, counting merely the door
keepers and messengers, entirely outside
of the clerical force in executive offices,
number at least 20. The visitors string
by the president in Indian file, and as
they pass him, receiving each one a shake
of the hand, they pass also a most pleas
ant but determined looking man stand
ing exactly opposite Mr.. Cleveland. The
people do not know it, but this man is
also rmed.-New York Recorder.

Likely to BE Cruel Sport,

Colonel Cody could put himself at a
very much better enterprise than that of
encouraging the cowboy race which is to
take place to the Worlds fair. 1t is not
in the least likely that race run by cow
boys of several nationaEties, all of them
the widest men of their type, will be
signalized by any great amount of hui
mainly. Indeed the chances are that
the horses will simply be run beyond
their strength. Such race is in great
contrast to race between trained horses,
whose speed is a matter of fine calcula-
ton, and to whom the whip is seldom
touched. The race of the COWBOYS it is
very much more than likely will contain
every possible feature of brutality.
1t may be characteristic of q portion
of the west, but the people at the fair do
not want to see everything that is char
acteristic OF this country, but only that
which is best as well as that which is
characteristic. 1t is to be hoped that of
ticers of the humane society will be on
the ground, and that they will sec that
there is no slaughter of horses. We
want to leave that sort of thing to Ger
many which does it well. - Omaha
