The outfit that rented room here last
week and offered the public a lot of
trashy clothing "for three days only"
had bit of experience they will not
soon forget. They opened up Saturday,
and were soon after served with notice
by the city attorney that they were
violating city ordinance which re-
quires transient merchants to take out
a license. Failing to respond, they
were arrested. They gave bonds in the
sum of $500, and were released. We'd
nesday the case was settled, the de-
PENDANTS paying license of 1875, the
costs amounting to 80 and the city at
torney's fee. This added to the fee of
their own lawyer undoubtedly absorbed
all the profits they made here, and more
too. The people of this community,
having already four of the best exclu-
sive clothing stores in central Iowa,
and one or two others that handle

elders, propose to be law unto them
selves-Boone Standard.
The revised constitution of New
York prohibits any person holding Of

Accordingly, the members of the legis-
lature have each been supplied with u
book of forty eight passes, good for u
berth or seat in the cars of the Wagner
Palace Car company. AS this is an
Illinois corporation, it is claimed that
officials can use the transportation on
the New York Central without violat-

York are evidently disposed to comply

The person who furnishes items for a
newspaper man is always a valuable
friend to the editor. Many persons
hesitate about sending items to a news
paper regarding the movements of
friends lest the editor should think
them anxious to see their names in
print. He will think nothing of the
kind, but on the contrary he is always
glad to get such items. Many seem
ingly unimpOrtant notes when printed
are news to large number of readers.

A dog fight will attract a crowd but

some one who has fault to find with
some one or something He wants the
editor to attend to it for him. "Why
