When the inspection of Company f. of

who holds the rank of Corporal, had boil
on his neck, preventing him from holding
his head erect. As a result he failed by 1 of
an inch of the required heghth. Subse-
quently the boil healed, and his comrades
laid him on stretcher and put tape on
him and he tipped the mark at five foot four
inches. The inspecting officer gave him an
other chance, and he passed. 1t was a close
shave for Louis.

tiful and characteristic type Of face for
the diverse side, a composite photograph
will be made by Mr.. George A. Rock
wood, an artist, of New York, the in.
ventor OF composite photography, from
the photographs Of the two most beauti
full young women in each of the trans
Mississippi states and territories. The
photographs thus produced will serve as
the design from which the head will be
modelled. Each photograph must be of
cabinet size and must present a profile
view of the head and shoulders - lady
looking to the right, showing left side of
the face, hair dressed reasonably high,
according to prevailing style. The vice
president of each state is requested to
have selected the photographs of the two
most beautiful young women in his state.
AS the vice president of Iowa, 1 do
hereby most respectfully solicit photo
graphs of all the beautiful young women
in Iowa, and as there are no "old women"
in the state every woman in Iowa will be
eligible. The name and address must ac-
company each photograph. The award of
the two which are the most beautiful of
all which I shall receive will be made

three gentlemen not residents of Iowa

order received and after being examined
by the awarding committee, if not Sc
lected and if so desired, and requested,
will be returned to the owners, no one
being cognizant of whom they represent.
Permission is asked by the department

SUSPEND THE SoPHOMoRES.
University Students Found Guilty of
Abducting Freshmen.

University Students Found Guilty OF
Abductins Freshmen.
The faculty of the State University of
Iowa at Iowa City has suspended %
students, both young men and women,
for participating in the recent trouble
between the sophomores and freshmen,
practically hazing escapade.
The freshmen gave a banquet, and IN
order to prevent the attendance of GER
tain students the sophomores kidnapped
many of the under classmen. Several
of the freshmen were carried Is miles
in the country and reached home half
frozen at two o'clock the next morning.
One young woman, Miss Edith Cush-
ing, of Davenport, was abducted in
.arriage by sophomore girls, and in a
resulting runaway suffered injuries
that may make her cripple for life.
President Schaeffer says the faculty
has determined to break up the kidnap-
ing custom by drastic measures. Hence
the suspended students will not be per-
mitted to return until the close of the
term, March "a, or even later.

DRAWING LOTS NOT ILLEGAL,
The Iowa Supreme Court Renders an
Interesting Decision.

The supreme court has decided that
the placing of stockholders names in
one box, lot numbers in another and APP
portioning real estate in a boom adj
dition is not lottery. The court held
in substance that where promoters
leave the matter Of disposition of the
real estate entirely to the stockholders
or other persons to be benefited the
element of fraud is taken away. Tie
elections, the court said, were decided
in a similar manner and are not illegal.
This decision was rendered in the Chan
cy Park Land company VS.. B. B. Hart,
appellant from Clinton district.

THE SISTER GETS NOTHING.
The Result of n Family Quarrel After
Years of Peace.

An unusually interesting case was on
trial in Eldora. 1t appears that family
consisting of mother, brother and sis
ter by the name of Robb, living near
Robertson, have recently disagreed
after living amicably for many years
past. The sister and brother fell out
and the sister brought action to recover
wages for labor performed by her dur
ing all the past years, amounting to
$1,000. 1t appears the brother, E. Robb,
made sufficient money during that time
to buy a good farm, and the girl has
nothing. The jury returned verdict
for the defendant.

CARE FOR YOUR SHOES.

Never blacken patent leather. 1t
should be treated with vaseline, sweet
oil or one of the patent creams sold by
shoe dealers for this purpose. Mud and
dust may first be removed by damp
sponge. Then apply the oil and rub
dry.
Oranges are good for polishing shoes
and for securing bad floors, though
too expensive for the latter purpose.
Take slice of orange and rub it over
patent leather and let it dry. Then
take a soft brush, polish and the shoe
will shine like mirror.

The State Finances.

The State Finances.
Chairman Merriam, of the house COM
mittee on appropriations, asked the au-
ditor of state how much money would
be available for the next two years for
extraordinary appropriations. Auditor
Mccarthy replied that for the biennial
period ending June 80, 1899, the esti-
mated resources would be $4,O47.602,
while the estimated expenses, that is.
for appropriations already made and
for the expenses of the state govern
'ment, are $4,550,2S6, which would leave
n deficit June 80, 1899, of $492, 613. pro-
viding that not a dollar is appropri-
ated by the Twenty-seventh general as
sembly. This estimate is based upon
2.7 mills levy for the years 1897 and
1888. This it is estimated will realize
'up to January 1, 1898, $64O,OOO, and dur
dng the year 1898 from the collection of
state taxes levied in 1897 81, 400, 900. All
this is on the basis of 81 mills levy.
The probable amount to be realized
from January l, 1899, to July /. 1899.
from the collection of state taxes levied
in 1898, based upon 2-mill levy, would
tbe 100000. This item, then, is the
only place where the Legislature can in
crease its levy. If the levy for 1899 and
1900, which is to be fixed by this legis-
iature, is made three mills it will. &C
cording to this estimate, yield about
100000 additional revenue, which
would still leave a deficit of S192, 900
without any extraordinary appropria-
tons; so that it is altogether impossi
bile for the state debt to be paid within
the next two years. The probable re.
sceipts from counties, for insane dues
etc, and from fees and corporation
taxes and other miscellaneous source.
during the period, are estimated at 81,
-36l 900, which, with the $4,000 on hant
January 30, 1897, makes up the total O.
$4,047,G92. total estimated resources.
