RESOLUTIONS.
The democrats of the 33rd senatorial
district reaffirm a Jealous devotion to
democratic principles as enunciated in
the Chicago platform Of 1896 and pledge
themselves to renewed efforts in behalf
of bimetalism.
We unhesitatingly endorse the state
platform and pledge our faith and our
best efforts to the nominee for governor,
that fearless soldier and brainy states.
man, Fred q. White, and the balance of
the state ticket.
We believe that what is legally sold
in the state should have the sanction of
law in its manufacture.
we believe IN honesty and economy
and while our hearts swell with
pride at the fortitude, patience and
bravery of our soldiers, we do not be-
lieve that our army should be used as
an army of conquest, to acquire terri
tory against the will of its inhabitants.
Morally q nation has no more right to
acquire colonies by conquest and hold
them by force, than the slave traders
had to capture human beings and hold
them as slaves.
The next in the order of business was
the selection of candidate for senator.
The delegates present were unanimous
in their choice of TT Prouse of this
city. After his nomination senator.

friends Of the young couple. They de-
parted the following day for Ida Grove
for visit with relatives, after which
they will leave for their new home in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the
groom has good position as manager
of telephone exchange. The bride is
the second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
B. Otis and is young lady of pleasing
disposition whose many friends regret
that her future home will be elsewhere
than in this Ecity. Mr.. Fish was for
several years previous to his removal to
New Mexico, a resident of this city,
during which time he made many close
friends. He was then in the employ OF
Henry Goodhile and at all times evi.
denced good business Judgment and q
sense of honesty and integrity. The
young people leave here with the
brightest prospects for future success
and happiness and this is the wish Of

The County Fair.

This is Delaware County's Fair week
and from present prospects it looks as
though it would be the largest and most
successful fair in the history of our ags
ricultural society. No pains have been
spared in the preliminary arrangements
and every effort is being made to mike
the exhibition a success. The superin-
tendents of the various divisions report
that the horses, stock and swine classes
have already been filled with entries
The speed department is also well filled
and there is field of twenty foreign
horses now on the ground to compete
in the races.
The second floor of the Art Hall is
filling rapidly with needle and fancy
work and the home merchants are busily
engaged in arranging their displays on
the first floor. They promise to be he
most elaborate seen here in years.
Among the special attractions will be
Japanese day fire works, a feature that
has never before been seen here, and the
famous Beckett family of trapeze and
mid-air performers are here. they ar
rived Monday evening and promise to
give an exhibition the like of which has
never before been witnessed in the
county.
Good weather for the next few days
will crown with success the efforts of
those who have worked so hard to make
this years fair record breaker.
Manchester VS. Dyersv,lle.
Our local football team met the
Dyersvllle team on the gridiron at the
latter place last Saturday afternoon
and very pretty game was put up by
both sides as the final score of 0 to 0
will attest. The Manchester boys 90
into a game with the intention of
giving good clean exhibition of foot
ball, and in this they were fairly and
squarsly met by the Dyersville boys
with the result that those who witness.
ed the Saturdays contest say it was
one of the neatest they have ever seen.
The running and tackling of q. Dor
man and G. Lusk were probably the
best features of the game and were
worthy of especial mention.

A KISSING Nation.

In no other part of the world is kiss
ing SO much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute. Indeed it is more of q
greeting than caress.
In pubic affairs, as in private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If a liIlipu-
tan corps of cadets have earned the i'm
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
it on with hearty report to his neigh
bor,, be in his turn to the next, and so
on, through the whole juvenile body.
On holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of house will
not only kiss all her maidservants, but
all her menservants, too, and if the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek.
To judge also from the number Of
salutes the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt-
ed felicity. A gentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing his
wife either on her forehead, cheek or
hand

The Swiss Parliament.

Switzerland differs from other coun-
tries in many things, and one OF the
most remarkable is the way in which
it's parliamentary debates are conduct
ed. A Swiss member of parliament can
express himself in French, German or
Italian, and the privilege is freely used.
When the president of the federal as
sembly speaks in German, his remarks
are translated by secretary in close
proximity to him. All the laws and
resolutions, before being voted upon,
are drawn up in French, German and
Italian, and every official report is pub
sished in these three languages. -Bir-

a SONG OF FORGETTING.

The hours as play things were-ah, mel I.
And laughter lived in every word
What time that love was young and glee
In every pulsing heart throb stirred.
The wild plum blossomed in the glen
The rabbit raced across the plain,
And frightened birdiings Hurried when
Our hounds and horses tramped the grain.
Down in the grove beside the spring
We rested when the race was won.
And listened to the wood bird sing
A lullaby when day was done. .S
But, ali, you wandered from my side
And paved the long lone lane of years
With memory stones and loss too wide
For Eobs to soothe with memory tets.
And now you come-come back to me
To fill, as then, the old time place
Where is the magic of your plea?
What change has come upon your face?
Oh, friend, to lose and still love on.
To live on chaff instead of graiu
Is better than to feel love gone
Forgetting is the keenest pain.

JOHN HAYS BIG APRON.

One of the Cases Where Dishwash-
ing Produced a Poet.
Colonel Hay was when a boy regu-
lar attendant of the Presby terrain Sun
day school at Warsaw, Ills
The Sunday school lessons partly con-
sisted Of committing to memory Bible
verses, and to attain supremacy in this
created quite a rivalry among the schol-
ars. John Hay was sure to come out
ahead from two to five answers, some
times more, causing those Of his COM
rades who were always behind him to
regard him with envy
Consequently when some Of those boys
heard that John had to wash dishes and
do the churning for his mother and,
more than all, that he wore an apron
while at these duties his jealous COM
rades fairly crowed.
One morning it was agreed by his
comrades to get him out Of doors while
he had his apron on and humiliate him
by having two or three girls whom he
rather liked ask him questions in re-
gard to his homework
Young Hay came out to where the
boys were and answered the questions
by saying that he washed dishes as his
mother taught him, and then, with
twinkling eyes, he gave the dishpan
which he had with him a tremendous
fling, contents and all, drenching who
ever happened to be near enough, and.
laughing loudly, ran into the kitchen.
Hay and his big apron were never mo-
Tested after that. Christian Endeavor

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL

How the Great Irish Leader Came to
Enter Politics.
Charles Stewart ParneI was % years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr.. r. Barry
OBrien in his biography of the great
Irish leader: -
Zone night during the general cleo
lion of 1874 Parnel dined with his sis
ter, Mrs. Dickinson, in Dublin After
dinner Captain Dickinson said: Well.
Charles, why don't you go into parlia-
ment? Why don't you stand for your
native county,
''To the surprise of every one at the
table, Parnell said quickly: 4 will.
Whom ought to see? -...
6 oh, said Dickinson. we will sec
about that tomorrow The great thing
is you have decided to stand.
I will see about it at once, said
Parnell. I have made up my mind, and
I won't wait. Whom ought to seer
4 think Gray of The Freeman s
Journal. said John. who was also pres
ent.
Very we'll. said Parnell, rising
from the table, Il shall go to him at
once Do you come with me, John.
'sThe two brothers then went away to-
gether. It was now II o'clock. and they
found Gray at The F'reeman's Office
He was amazed when Parnel entered
and said. I have come to say, Mr.
Gray, that I mean to stand for Wick
low as a Home Ruler y
It was only the year after that. on the
death Of John Mitchell, Parnell was re-
turned for Meath. At first it is plain
that Parnell had few if any followers
The ability of the representative from
Meath was questioned. Butt was then
the controlling power. It was only in
1880 that Parnell became the leader.
Bruges.
The chronicles of 1856 speak of $50
vessels in it's basins and of German mer-
chants carrying away over 1000 pieces
of cloth to the distant lands of Russia
and Poland. 1t was the exchange Of Eu-
rope, possessing in the fourteenth Gen.
tury SO guilds and $50, 900 inhabitants,
more than three times as many as it
now contains. Among it's wares we read
of leather from Spain, wool from Eng
land, silk from Italy and Persia, linen
and cloth from Brabant, hemp and fax
from Holland, wine from Portugal,
Greece and France and hardware from
Germany, which included every variety
of object in ivory, bone, wood, glass,
tin, copper, lead, iron, silver and gold.
It had it's factories, it's curriers', it's dy-
ers, and its taxation considerably ex-
ceeded that Of Client. But at the COM
mencement of the fourteenth century its
troubles began-troubles from within
and from without.
The Suene was rendered useless by
the invasion of sand as far as Sluis
(Ecluse), treachery, slaughter and po-
litioal jealousies and rivalries completed
the fall, and in 1914 its inha bitants had
diminished to 1906. Then came the re-
ligious wars and prosecutions from 1867
to 1884, the fanatics and the Gueux de-
stroying what remained, leaving little
for the French revolutionists-
