EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:-The fol-

issue of your paper.
"Mr. Nom de Plume of Bonair quotes
a short paragraph written some time
previous on occasion of fishing par
ty which he conducted to Days Flats,
and it appears from the effect taken
that the article must have struck him
on the apex of his sensitiveness, he
not only hurls his explosion at Mr..
Prendergast, but aims to strike the
whole community which endured his
visits for SO long; but as they sufti-

not have another opportunity to visit

likely to come here fishing for suckers

people of the flats. Now l will state
the other side of the case and let the
public judge for itself. The fore part
of the winter 1 went over to the flats
and bought half an acre of wood of
Mr.. Joe Hayes, and chopped it, and
then waited until we got some snow.
Some of my neighbors suggested that

day, and did so. l told few in the
flats that was going to make bee

them know and they would help. l

Royal Road to Ruined Health,

The average American diet contains
entirely too much nitrogen. The nu-
merous condiments which are served
at the average American table over
load the bill of fare with heterogeneous
food, and those which are distinctly
starchy and carbonaceous. After OBJ
serving how much of each is eaten by
each person at the average hotel din

note the complexion of those above
thirty-five years and note their sallow
skin, watery eyes, tired looks, blotch-
ed faces and sore noses, sure indica-
tions that the liver, Kidneys. aud

which is chiefly due to there being
too much starch in the food, and too

They were discussing the training of
children.
Don't take any stock in all these
books that pretend to tell you oil about
the subject" advised the older 1natron.
"But I found them SO serviceable in
many ways" protested the younger.
Nonsense" returned the elder.
"They are of no value whatever"
"They IRE n little contradictory at
times, but-but--"
"Pooh! How do you think children
were brought up before these books
were written? Eve had none."
That's true" admitted the younger
matron, thoughtfully, "and you should
remember that Cain went wrong."-

R,csyille Notes

enabled us to shake by the hand and
enjoy the hospitality of the numerous
friends of the PLAIN DEALER in that
thriving and beautiful village. During
the past year it has in its business
houses, and in its fine residences,
made substantial growth. The row
of brick stores, commencing in front
of the Hotel Fellows, and extending
across the block south, would be a
credit to more pretentious towns,
than Riceville. These are occupied
on the corner by E. G. Richmond
with Drugs and Druggists sundries
OH one side and jewelry on the other
and like thu store of Tomas g. kessell.
in Cresco, is a model of taste and
elegance. In the same block is well
stocked harness shop. A double
brick building is occupied by L. w.
Tyrrell with Agricultural Implements
and F. j Carpenter with fine stock
of General Merchandise.
j. G. Keliow is stocked up with
groceries, and is also conducting the
City Bakery and seems to be
| prospecting.
]. j. Sloan is doing q fine business
in the Grocery trade and is also the
Post Master of the village. 1t is
gratifying to know that the increase
of business will ere long make it a
presidential office with an increase of
salary commensurate with the labor
connected Herewith. The village
has three Meat Markets, A. j
Cummings, G. II. Potter and NJ.
Kemmitz being their proprietors.
There are several Dry Goods and
General Stores, that of Weaver q
Vaughn being the principal one
though there are several other good
ones.
There are two Furniture Stores,
three Hardware Stores, good, solvent
and safely conducted State Bank,
an Opera House, on the first floor of
which is a Drug and Jewelry store
and Grocery store. John F. Hass,
who used to work in Crosco, has q
fine stock of Geoceries.
The Hotel, Fellows, is one of the
best kept hostelries in Northern Iowa
and seems to be appreciated and well
patronized by the travelling public

Three elegant school buildings
proclaim the interest of the people

The place has two physicians, one
attorney and land office, and four
churches, Baptist, Presbyterian.
Methodist and Catholic with resident
pastors for each.
Nor is the place lacking for pro-
gressive and prosperous farmers
/
Among them we note James
Hendricks who from small
beginning has become one of the
solid men of the county financially.
AT his farm we saw one hundred head
of fat cattle nearly ready for the
market and as fine ones as one need
wish to see. He also has about the
same number which will be put
through the same process of feeding
and fattening another fall and winter.
He also has large number of
fine marketable horses and farm of
nearly two sections in O body. BY
economy and industry he has grown
to this from boy without means,
since our first acquaintance in 1857.

AUGUSTA POLO TEAM.
Short Sketches Of the Men Making Up the

The following gives brief sketch OF
the Augusta players:

his polo career with the Bijou team of
Portland. IL years ago; was later with
the behring's, and also with the Bijou
league team. He played with the Bos-
ton team, in 1887, and with the Granite
Citys. He is ball player. filling posi-
| tons of LIST base and catcher. He cap
tanned and managed the Portland team
in 1891
John H. O'Melia was born in Boston
"A years ago. He weighs 1872 pounds
and plays LIST rusher. He is fast
| roller skater of we'll known reputa-
ton, having won in all 172 prizes. He
came in third in the famous big six
days race at the Madison Square
Garden, in 1855, and won the "a hours
championship in Quincy, Mass. in 1885,
He has played with the Brockton and
Boston teams, and was rush with the
we'll known John Cornell, in 1889. He
has also played with Boston regimental
teams.
Philip Jason is 90 years old. He was
born in Fredericton, N. b., and has

sharp. rushing game, and in the game
last evening, put up some strong work.
George H. Pickett was born in Port
land. and weighs $50 pounds. He is
stockily built and good skater. He
has played with the Bilious, and Bur-
lington, VT, teams. and also on the
Haverhill. Mass, team. His speciality
is tending goal. and if his work last
night is anything like what he usually
puts up, he needs no booming, as his
playing booms itself.

Lewistons. The indications are that the
hall will be packed.
Manager Burnham certainly has a
strong team. Many are disposed to re-
gard it the best in the league. Wher. the
Augustus perfect their team work a little
more. they will give him a sweat.
The general opinion was that Manager
Smart has got together the material for
a first-cass team. They play a hard,
aggressive game. Just now their weak
ness is in lack of team play. This will be
remeded with little more work to-
gether.
The work of the Augustus greatly i'm
proved during the latter part of the
game. Captain McAndrews. soon as
he gets his men accustomed to playing in
their positions. will be pretty certain to
bring them into good winning form.
A weakness of the Augustus in the
early part of the game was the failure of
the goal cover to play in his position.
There was a gratifying improvement in
this respect in the latter part of the
game. with corresponding good results.
The base ball rooters were out in force,
and the perfect whirlwnd of cheering en-
thusiasm when the Augustus made their
goals showed that they had lost none of
