Too Hasty.

Society is laughing itself sick over
an amusing incident which occurred
at certain fashionable residence not
many day ago. A we'll known young
lawyer was the victim.
1t seems that during the course Of
the evening he took advantage of an
opportunity and imprinted kiss on
the fair cheek Of his hostess, much to
her surprise and Indignation.
"Sir, how dare you. !" she exclaim-
ed, or words to that effect. eff you
ever presume to do thing like that
again I'll tell my father !"
But the young lawyer either thought
that was bluff or else liked it 80
well that he was willing to take the
consequences. Anyhow, he repeated
the offence. He was not very much
surprised to see her jump up and leave
the room with fine air Of offended
dignity.
That's all bluff thought he.
"She will so up stairs and get hand
kerchief and then come down and
scold me- Hc was still in his frame
of mind when he heard the parlor door
behind him open. "Thcre she is
thought he. And then he said aloud:
swell, did you tell him %
A moment later his blood frozc in
horror as deep voice replied: ''ics.
Mr.. --, my daughter told me-
But there was no need to say more.
AT the sound of the unfamiliar voice
the young lawyer had looked around.
When he saw the father with long
modern rifle in his hands he waited no
longer.
With one bound he had reached the
window. and he went through it, sash
and all, leaving his hat behind him.
What he did not know was that the
young lady 8 anger had melted by the
time she had reached her fathers
room, but she decided to play joke
on him.
Father said she, "Nlr. is
down stairs. He is great hunter and
is perfect crank on tho subject uf
rifles. have been trying to explain
your new Winchester repeater to him,
but | can't make him understand.
Won't you take it down and show it to

Guard, Refuses to Resign in Spite
of Courts Decision.

Brig. Gen. James A. Guest, of Burling-

sion as general of the Second brigade,
Iowa national guards. This commits
sion was issued three years ago, and is
good for two more years. The contest
between him and Gen. John II. Prime,

trict and supreme courts, and decision
made that the office belonged to Prime.

FRANco-AMERIcAN TREATY.
lions Gives Subtraction in
OMcial Circles.

Washington, July 26.-The signing of
the Franco-American reciprocity treaty
is accepted in official quarters, govern
ment and diplomatic, as not only de-
sirable trade arrangement, but also an
other evidence of the friendly political
ties between the two countries. EX-
pressions to the effect were exchanged
during the latter days of the negotia-
tons between those highest in author
ity on both sides, and it is understood
that President Mckinley, in particular,
was DESTROYS that there should be no
failure in negotiation which promised
to establish another friendly bond be-
tween the countries. In a personal way
it is regarded as a noteworthy achieve
ment of the French ambassador, who
in his comparatively brief service here
has made reciprocity treaty, and has
acted as peacemaker between the
United States and Spain. The officials
on both sides are 1efraining from any
expressions of triumph over the re-
suits, as they say each side has secured
q fair equivalent for what 1t has given,
and that the trade of both countries
will be much benefited.
The shipments of the United States
to France are considerably more than
those coming from France. Lat year
our exports to France exceeded 50O,o0D,-
900 francs, while the trade from France
amounted to about 250,0o0000 francs.
More than half of this traffic will be In
fuenced by the rates established in the
new treaty. In the case of the French
shipments, goods worth 5O,O0o,o0o
francs are on the free list, while anoth-
er 5o,ooO,oOo francs Of goods are not in
fuenced by the treaty. leaving ship

value of American goods affected would
be even greater than this, owing to the

Fraser and Russian Miners
May be Engaged.


One of the largest coal mining strikes
on record in the northern part of Iowa
is that now going on at the mines at
Fraser, where none but the colored
miners are at work. The miners have
been getting wage of IS cents. with an
eight-hour day, This they deemed in
sufficient, and they demanded 80 cents,
with the same hours, but signified that
they would accept so cents. Their de-
mands were refused by the mine own
ers, and the miners went out. The ne
gro miners remained at work, so the
mines have not been closed, though the
output has been considerably dimin-
ished. The mine owners are now con-
templating shipping some Russian min
ers in to take the places of the strik-
ers, but whether or not this will be
accepted peaceably by the miners re-
mains to be seen.
