People who are impressed with
the complaints being made by for
eign nations with reference to our
proposed new tariff law will find
some relief in the fact that an ex-
animation of the statements shows
that they are misleading the selfish,
not to say impertinent, in many
cases. An example IS found in the
recent utterances of Mr.. Charles Liz
Klett of the Argentine Republic,
whose remarks at the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce have attract
ed so much attention. His state
ment that the Argentine woods have
always been admitted free of duty
until now is denied by Treasury of
ficials, while an examination of the
Treasury figures shows that his as
sertions with reference to the balance
of trade between the United States
and Argentine are the direct opposite
of the truth. His statement regard
ing the tariff of his own country and
its treatment of American products
is found to be also misleading and
gives an entirely erroneous impress
sion of the facts.

American dairymen are already
beginning to feel the effects of Secre-
tary Wilson's efforts in their behalf.
A London firm has just placed an
order for the entire butter product
of the Iowa State Agricultural Col
lege, which amounts to about 800
pounds per day, and there is reason
to believe that this will be followed
by a general foreign demand for the
dairy products of this country.

produce sufficient revenue to meet
the current expenses after the pres

and drawn closely to him, when the
shootlng took place as above narrated
Mrs. Schultz claimed her reason for
wanting to have possession of the 800
was to provide a means of support for
the baby. Her husband, she said,
was inclined to spend his money freely
and recklessly. From her testimony
1t is apparent the whole trouble grew
out of the note.
Mr.. Schultz always bore good rep
utatlon among his acquaintances,
and was Industrious and steady. His
rash act occasioned great deal of
surprise. He was formerly employed
in the brick yards, but this summer
worked as a section hand on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway.
Thursday afternoon he drew $22 in
wages, $16.85 of which was found on
his person. He purchased the revol-
yer Thursday of a local dealer. His
funeral was held Saturday afternoon
from his fathers home.

Bicycle Tourney.

A number of bicycle riders in this
city are discussing the advisability of
holding a bicycle tournament at Wash
ington park some time this month. 1t
is proposed to allow riders from Dodge
and Jefferson counties only to compete
for prizes. This would give some of
the crack riders from Waterloo, Juneau
and Beaver Dam a chance to settle
the matter as to who is the fastest
rider, and at the same time furnish
a pleasant days recreation and enjoy
ment for the people of both counties
1t is also proposed to have ball game
that day between two of the best
teams in either county. We believe
the plan feasible and that the affair
can be successfully carried through.
Those desiring any information in re-
gard thereto may address George
Weber, this city.

sewerage plans so as to admit of con-

John Habhegger has furnished a bond

the latter option carrying with it 6 per

hydrant fund was ordered drawn in
favor of the Merchants bank.

waited until no one was looking, and
blazed away at field lark which was
flying across clearing with his little
peculiar jerky fight, and down he
came. I did it again and again. Shot
doves in full flight, and all that sort

shooting two larks when / saw only
