June Is. The bill to levy 81 a year on
pleasure carriages. bicycles and tri-
| cycles. and - on traction engines was
defeated. The money that was to have
been raised in this manner was to have
gone toward the Improvement OF roads.
Mr.. Baldwin. who had the bill in
charge, said 1t would have netted the
state $60000o. The bill was defeated.
The Inheritance tax came up for third
reading. There Is not much hope for
the passage of this bill. The striking
out of the $1,000 exemption clause has
caused much dissatisfaction, and the
bill Is regarded by many as iniquitous
Another cause for opposition Is the
failure of the senate to act on the Bliss
bill taxing beer. The proposition to
tax beer has many friends in the house.
and they propose to 5uggle with the di-
rect inheritance tax bill until they can
force the senate to pass the beer bills,
which have already passed the house.
The direct inheritance bill Is now in
shape to be called up at any time. but
II Is certain that the advocates of the
measure will take great care.
In the senate the prison bill limiting
the number of inmates of state prisons,
penitentiaries and other penal institu-
tons to be employed in manufacturing
goods therein to 20 per cent. and pro-

viding that licensed brewers shall sell
to licensed dealers not less than a doz-
en- pints or In packages of not less than
an eighth of a barrel. and further than
one person or association can own or
control two breweries upon the pay
ment of $1,000 license for each, passed
finally.
June II. The Senate made more
progress with the tariff bill to-day than
on any day since it's debate opened.
The schedules on spirits and wines and
on manufactured cotton goods were
completed. A new paragraph was add
ed to compensate the cotton manufac-
turers for the placing of raw cotton on
the dutiable list. 1t provides that on
all cotton yarns finer than No 10 sin

Zone of the most remarka BILE cases on
record, believe. is that of Lord Beras-
ford. in Georgia" said Judge J. Y. Cox.
a well-known member of the Atlanta
bar, who is in the city for few days,
stopping at the Normandie. This
man, Lord Beresford, came to Georgia
some years ago and made big play Of
being nobieman. l believe he is con-
nected in some very far distant man.
ner to one of the younger sons Of en-
English family. Well, at any rate, he
was no Lord Beresford at all, but SIM
ply Il man named Sidney Lascelles. He
started ON his career by passing nu-
merous forged checks. He was mixed
up in other short tricks, and it did not
take long for him to land behind the
jail bars. He was put in the peniten-
tiary and there served his sentence.
In the meantime he wrote queer
book, calling it a history of his life. 3
it he told a remarkable story Of liz
treatment by his family. The truth Of
the story has never been discovered
clared that he would lead an honest
and upright.life. Being a smooth talk
er and dressing stylishly he soon Won
his way into the hearts of some capitai-
lists interested in the new town of the
wire-grass region known as Fitzgerald
He blossomed forth there as moneyed
man. secured contracts for electric
lighting the town and his past was soon
forgotten. a handsome woman hap
pened in the place. She was from
lily. She met Lascelles, fell in love with
him, and the two We're married against
the protests of the lady's parents. She
was wealthy and, having life of lux
ury before him, the pseudo Lord Bercs-
ford dropped his work in Fitzgerald.
He and his bride left for parts I'M
known. No sooner had he left than it
was discovered he was short in his ac-
counts with many people and had been
up to his old tricks.
Now the Georgia authorities are
looking for him everywhere. If he is
caught he will be brought back and
jailed, unless his wife's money can aid
him in settling the difficulty. The man
seems to have bad blood in him and it
will out. / have met the man myself
and was struck with his elegant man.

to get at Beresford's real history, but
his past may never come to light. He
might turn out to be black sheep no.

Strain through an ordinary gr;::-y

If these are properly made and prop

THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.

The Iowa Republican State cOnven-
| ton was ruled from first to last by the
| machine and gang which has long con-
| trolled the politics of the State. But by
| the strategy which Il political gang al
ways employs the candidates having
\ the gang brand and certificate were de
feated. They were defeated by gang
| tactics.
The most conspicuous fact in Iowa
politics is that the men closely con-
| nected with the administration for the
| last four years of Republican rule have
brought reproach to the State and have
been denounced as unavailable for re-
| nomination. This was their reward for
| continuous and humiliating obedience
! to the dictates of the machine III mat
ters of corrupt legislation and bad ad-
ministratiye management.
Governor Frank ID. Jackson, elected
in 1898, was a swift and willing agent
Of the machine in aiding its efforts TO
make the legislation of the State ac-
cord with the designs of the great mo-
nopolies and of corrupt interests Of
various description in all parts of the
State. He became so odious to the peo-
pie that he was compelled to withdraw
in 1895 as candidate for denomination.
The Republican party did not dare to
go into the campaign of that year with
him as it's leader.
When Jackson was forced out of the
flcl q nd I. TO for n
1895 Francis NJ. Drake was nominated
as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor and was elected. His administra-
ton was such that he feared the result
If he should again ask the verdict of
the people at the polls and he drew out.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernOr of Iowa this year is Leslie NJ.
Shaw, described as lawyer and local
banker without political record OF
any kind, and acceptable only because
nobody knows enough about him to say
anything against him. But Jackson
was nominated for Governor in 1898
and Drake was nominated in 1893 for
precisely the same reason. Neither
dared to appear as a candidate for re-
nomination. Probably the same fate
if he shall be elected awaits Mr.. Shaw
in 1889.
In no other State in the Union is
there Il more rotten condition of politics
than that which has existed in Iowa
since the Republican restoration in
1894. For the previous four years. I'M
der the Democratic administration of
Governor Horace Boies, there had been
economy, honesty and thrift in the
management of State affairs. Taxes

"Go to Hell! L;k, , M,uv


Mrs. Mary A. Livermore was asked

K.en YOUR Eyeclasse, Glenn.

An oculist expresses himself very en-
phatically on the amount of damage
that is done to the eyes of the comn:u-
nifty from negligence in very simple
manner. that of keeping their specfa-
cles and eyeglasses clean. He says: Il
am shocked to see the number Of per-
sons. intelligent men and women, who
should know better, who spend their
lives behind grimy eyeglasses. Law
yers. writer's. students. schoolgirls and
SchOosboys and eyetaXers of varlous
sorts who use glasses rarely use them
clean. To keep the pebbles in good
wearing condition they should be
cleaned about once an hour. Water is
not so good a cleansing agent as alco-
hol, and a handkerchief should give
place to piece of tissue paper. Cha
mois is useful also and either is better
than the linen handkerchief. The
amount of injury done to the worlds
eyesight through cloudy glasses is al
most incalculable." Another authority
says that if alcohol is not at hand the
glasses should be placed in wash
bowl and soaked in warm water. Then
they should be washed with soap ana
rubbed with soft nail brush. After
wards they should be polished with
tooth powder and receive n final rub
with tissue paper. A few drops of am
monia may be added to the water in
which the glasses are soaked. An op-
tican who has the patronage of many
of the lorgHette sex declares that he
has customers who come to him and
demand that their glasses be changed,
saying they can not see through them.
'The only trouble is that the lenses
need washing" says the optician, land
all they usually get is polishing with
