An illustration of what bad company
will do for a young man was seen in
this city short time ago. Before The
young man was situation worth $50
to $50 per month. 1t would only have
been short time until he would have
been employed steadily at a good
salary. His parents had spent time
and money to give him an education
and naturally they took pride in the
fact that he was soon to obtain good
position requiring education and skill.
But bad company, Il little something to
"talSe," fight, serious cut by a
knife, which necessitated the young
mans absence from duty, were facts
his employer could not overlook, and
the young man was discharged. because
he kept company that was bad and the
responsibility was too great to risk
employing such young men.

Mayor Isaac l.. Hills has shown
himself to be the man for the emer-
gency in the case of the gambling houses
that have been running in open defiance
of law and the police force He is the
head of the police of the city and pro-
poses to see that he has men who will
carry out his orders. By decapitating
a few of the police officers, giving
the gamblers to understand that Des
Moines is not a paradise for their nefa-
rious business he has closed up every
open den in the city. Public opinion
about the mayors spinal column has
taken a more decided and favorable
turn. There are yet grave questions
before the city-the gas question and
: the water question. These questions
concern all classes of our citizens who
have been paying tribute to these two
concerns The laboring men are as
much concerned as the wealthy men

Special Correspondence TO Iowa State Bysta,,ae,'
The people of this burg are getting
along nicely.
The entertainment which was given
on the 2lst and 22nd proved to be a
grand affair. Miss Z. Wilson sang d
very fine solo entitled ''Blue Eyed 10y.
nette." Miss Daisy Wilson merits the
highest praise for her recitation: also
Miss S. e. Wilson favored the audience
with very fine selection of music.
Miss Mary j. Rhodes rendered fine
vocal selection entitled, "Shall the
Answer Be Yes or No. Thepiece was
played with great care by her teacher,
Miss Cora Thomas.
Muchakinock seems to be noted for
her dramas. Prof. j. II. Lewis is now
preparing to give one of the finest
musical concerts of the season.
Mr.. Editor, allow us space in your
columns to express our sympathy for
Mrs j. D. Carter, who SO recently lost
her earthly staff in the person of her
husband, j. d. Carter, who resided in
this city for number of years. He
was also the sexton of the Muchakinock
cemetery. He has helped to carry many
of ourloved ones to their final resting
place. j. d. Carter was a member of
the Union Valley Baptist church at
that time and we trust that all was
well with him and his God. The writer
has known j. d. Carter up till his death.
Some times ''we are tossed and driven,
and hardly know where to roam, we
hear of city called Heaven and start
to make it our home" So let us hope
that j. d. Carter is around Gods eternal
throne, and where his tranquil happi-
ness shall be forever.
There is another troupe to appear on
the stage in this burg by the name Of
"White Wings which is composed of
some of the best talent OF the city. 1t
will appear about March 12th.
B. f. Cooper, druggist, is doing a
good business
Mrs. L. Winston who departed for
Davenport is now back
There are three saloons in this little
city and all seem to have very good
trade.
Work is very dull but we hope it will

The infant daughter of j. H. Mellow
ell is very i'll at this writing.
Mrs. jackson Jones has been very
sick but is somewhat better
II is said that Mrs. Peter Reeves is

but we hope God will spare her life
years longer, for she has quite little
family and is an excellent woman.

millinery. and. bent into becoming
shapes and trimmed with three or Ave

The array of basques and waists is
so varied, and designs for skirts, rang
ing from extreme to the most conserva-
tive fullness, are so numerous that any
one may easily find styles to snit her
especial needs.
The latest pocketboolls are of green
alligator. They are odd looking affairs,

suede purses with silver clasps are
much used. They are convenient for
change Many of them are adorned
with silver monogram and lined with
bright kid.
Silk petticoats for street wear are
trimmed with an open work ernbroiS
