lngersoIl's Fine Whisky

| am reminded by the death of
Col. Ingersoll of his famous eulogy
on some rare old whisky that had
been sent him. said Mr.. E. W.
Vandiver, of New York.
He spoke of it as the most
wonderful whisky that ever ban
ished the skeleton from feast and
painted landscapes in the brains of
men, Other glowing descriptions
followed, and when the eulogy had
been printed in all the papers and
admired for its eloduence and
laughed at for its extravagant hu-
NOR, the Colonel was the recip-
lent of many letters from distillers
and agents of liquor houses who
wanted him to say that he had been
led to speak this way on account
of the merits of their particular
brand of old rye or Bourborn.
But the Colonel was too foxy
to be caught this way, and didn't
propose to be trapped into boosting
any special fire-water.' He sent
back polite letters. but gave the
writers no satisfaction. A little
later he had a good laugh and took
the public into his confidence in
the matter. The truth was, that
the glorious liquor he had spoken
of in such an enraptured way was
a blend of his own composition.
He had dozen or more bottles of
the ardent in his house, and he
poured them all into one demijohn,
the mixture resulting in the stuff
that 'banished the skeleton etc. !,
etc.

Troops In Philippines are DIssusted
with the War.

London. July pa private
letter received here today from a
war correspondent at Manila and
dated June II, says:
There seems to be no end to
the war in sight. The censorship
is constantly becoming more
troublesome.
General Otis recently establish
ed rule that any matter relating
to the navy must be taken to the
commander of the fleet for his ap-
proval and afterwards submitted to
the secretary of the censor, thus
adding to the difficulty.
General Otis refused to allow
us to send out the death of the
Monadnock captain (Nichols) for
two days after its occurrence.
General Otis also refused to let
US send news of the disappearance
of Captain Rockefeller on the
ground of worrying his family; OF
the killing of Captain Tilley of the
signal corps until the next day.
1t is impossible to write the
truth about the situation. The
resources and fighting qualities of
the natives are misunderstood by
the American newspapers and we
cannot write the facts without be
ing accused of treason, nor can we
tell of the practically unanimous
opposition to and dislike for the
war among the American troops.
The volunteers, or at least a
portion of them, were at one time
on the verge of mutiny and unless
General Otis had begun sending
homewards there would have been
sensational developments. We are
absolutely refused all hospital

troubled with collie and cholera in

we could do for him did not seem to
to give more than temporary relief,

sustained by Muskogee during the

Woman Escapes From a Bear

Boise, Idaho, July 25.-Rare
presence of mind probably saved
the life of Mrs. Flora Jennison,
who. with party, is camping out
on Cedar Greek, Idaho. She was
out. in a huckleberry patch when
she ran across a bear with cubs.
The mother bear, with a vicious
snarl, made for her. Like flash
Mrs. Jennison tore off her skirt
and threw it over the BEARS head.
While the enraged bear was tearing
the garment to pieces in an effort
to extricate itself, the woman flew
down the hill to the camp. Some
of the men, hearing her screams,
started out with their guns and
met her. Going on they killed
the bear and captured the cubs.
which Mrs. Jennison is now rails
ing on a bottle.

Barred From the Tails

Washington, July PA large
ly operated advertising plan is
excluded from the mails by a
decision rendered by Acting Assis-
tant Attorney General Barrett for
the postotfice department. The
plan consists Of puzzles with prize
offers whose solution is easy by
counting dots in a circle, spokes
in a wheel or arranging a set of
jumbled letters to form names OF
prominent persons, but the catch
is in a provisO imposing conditions
on successful contestants. The
heavy mails following these adver-
tisements bring out circulars from
the promoters which the department
holds are designed to lead the
patrons to believe they have won
valuable prizes conditioned on then
making or obtaining subscriptions,
selling articles, etc. The depart
ment in directing the postmaster al
Boston, in a test case, to refuse to
accept for mailing circulars relat
ing to such schemes, holds that
they deceive the creduloUs and un.
educated.

HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY.

half of Springfield. To argue this
question further is useless; 1t Is appar-
ent on the face Of IL.
DEBORAH Is city several times the
size of Cslmar; it has enjoyed steady,
firm growth for years, and has some OF
the strongest business firms in Iowa.
Suppose Calmar should get the court
house. The great majority of the peo-
pie Of the county would trade in Decor
ah anyway. The chances are that the
removal Of the county seat to Calmar
would result in an increase of only y
few hundred people in the population
Of that town. Then comes the neces-
sity of making extra trips to Calmar
TO transact business at the county
seat. And 1t do4s not seem reasonable
to us that Ossian, Ridgeway, Spillville
and Fort Atkinson will lend their as
sistance toward building up Calmar,
thus detracting from their business.
We do not undertake to question the
quality or sincerity of the $4,000 sub
scription offered by Calmar, bat this
is business proposition, and the peo-
pie of the county should be given
some assurance more stable than a
mere offer that this money will be
forthcoming, should they vote to locate
the court house at Calmar. Let them
deposit $4,000, or suitable bonds to
furnish that amount in the banks OF
the county, subject to the demand OF
the Board of Supervisors, provided the
court house removal question carries,
and then there will be some founda-
ton for argument. AS it now stands,
there is no certainty that this money
may be secured, beyond this subscript-
ion paper.
We have enumerated in the fore
going some of the reasons why we be-
lieve the people of the county should
refuse to sign these petitions There
are many more reasons, which we are
prohibited by lack of time and space
from mentioning, but which will be
commented upon in subsequent issues.

Miss Mary Riley Passes Away.

Miss Mary E. Riley, who has been
in poor health for several years, passed
away at the home of H. A. Bigelow
last Thursday at 900 p. M, from tu-
berculosis. and la grippe. She was
born in New Jersey, Aug. 10, 1851, and
when quite young moved with her
parents to Dubuque, and a few years
later to Allamakee county. When
twelve years old she commenced to
live with the family of H. A. Bigelow,
and has been with them ever since,
except four years spent in California
for her health. She was faithful
teacher in the public schools OF this
city for seven years.
The funeral services were held from
the Congregational church Sunday
afternoon at two O'Clock, Rev. M. Will
lett officiating. Miss Riley was one OF
those women who is beloved by all her
acquaintances, and while her life has
been one of much suffering, 1t has been
one of cheerful submission to her lot.
She will be greatly missed.

AS the time draws near to the muni-

ent offices are developing, but none
can be positively announced except l..
l.. Caldwell for mayor. The friends Of
Geo. Adams and q. F. Baker are urg-
ing them to become candidates also.
Each of these men are highly respect
ed citizens, gentlemen of ability and
character, and we believe any one Of
them would serve the city admirably
II elected. We have not, as yet, learn
ed of any positive candidates for alder
man.
The disgraceful contests for senar
torial honors in Pennsylvania, Nebras-
ka, Montana, California, Delaware and
Wisconsin, should bring out thorough
discussion of the proposition to elect
senators by direct vote of the people.
Some pressure should be brought to
bear upon congress that will at least
develop careful consideration OF the
present method as compared with the
one proposed.
The indications now seem to be that
neither Cummins nor Gear will have
an easy road to the senatorship. The
people of the state have about come to
the opinion that third party, either
Shaw or Hepburn, would suit them
much better, and we would not be sur
prised if both of the former gentlemen
were laid on the shelf.

New York, March 9.-The opening of the
cotton market was characterized by some
trregularity; near months declined 1 to
points, while distant months were
changed to points higher.
Wall street orders made their appearance
later, and they were for considerable
lots. the market promptly steadied up and
shorts undertook to cover, with the result
of moving prices to points above the
lowest figures. The special demand from
Wall street was soon Withdrawn, however,
and the market commenced to sag again.
Throughout the session the remote de-
liveries maintained firm relation to the
general list on investment demand with
sellers scarce, owing to contradictory state
ments regarding the crop outlook. The
general influences were but little I'M
changed, being quite friendly as hereto
fore from cotton cloth markets. Fall River
and Southern spot markets. There appear
ed to be any amount of long cotton for
sale around the basis of $50 for August
contracts Nearly all commission houses
had selling orders from realizing on long
contracts. Yesterday this class of cotton
was generally limited at or above 6.35 for
August.
Limits today were in some cases reduced
to points, but the market was not pre-
pared to absorb any particular quantity of
long cotton. Yet there was no great pres
sure. Most traders were disposed to hold
off for something more tangible than has
yet come in sight regarding the intentions
of planters. More attention paid to
that feature than to the question of re-
ceipts, although good many traders here
expect to see the movement increase con-
siderably with better account
