Has Located At Audubon.

J. H. Ross, son of Mr.. and Mrs. D..
A. Ross of Second avenue and Sixth
street, west, who was graduated from
the law department of the Iowa State
university last spring, has gone to Au-
dubon, where he has formed co-part-
nership with George w. Cosson under
the firm name Of Cosson & Ross. Mr..
Cosson is also graduate OF the State
university and they start out in the
practice of their chosen profession,
with the brightest prospects. Both
are young men of promise. The pa
rents of Mr.. Ross lived on farm in
this county until about a year ago,
when they came to Cedar Rapids. Mr..
Ross has host of friends in this city
who will watch his career with much
interest.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
Geo. w. Cosson of the above firm has
by his earnestness and sincerity of pur-
pose won a place in our midst and
is recognized as one of the brightest
young attorneys of the town. He has
large circle of friends that will do all
they can to help him. Mr.. Ross is
a young man of good address and the
above from his home tells more than
we know. They have fitted up their
rooms in the Leet block, over the Com
mercial bank, putting in fine new
desks, chairs, rockers, carpets, and
have everything that indicates they
are prospecting.

EFFECTS OF cHLoRoFoRM.
Such That Burglars Would Not Use
1t on Sleeping Persons,

That burglars of the more advanced
type can and do use chloroform in the
commission of their crimes is belief
widely held and rarely contradicted,
and yet there is, curiously, little foun-
dalton for it. Indeed, those who are
most familiar with the administration
and effects of anaesthetics assert that
there is no foundation at all for it ex-
cept in the imagination of sensational
writer's and in the needs Of people
whose losses cannot safely be explain
ed by statements Of fact. The ques-
ton has been raised recently by sew
eral robberes in which chloroform is
said to have been employed, and opin-
ions of the experts are strongly against
the possibility of such use. One of the
physicians interviewed is quoted as
saying:
"As far as known chloroform and
ether have never taken effect on a
healthy sleeping person without that
person knowing it, Both of these
anaeSthetics are at first stimulating
and invigorating in their effect and
will arouse sleeping person. The en-
tire system is excited and the heart
beats violently and fast The use of
either chloroform or ether or any 9TH
er anaesthetic by burglars is absurd.
1t frequently takes physicians with
their various appliances from 10 to 10
minutes to put person under the in
t1uence Of either of these anaesthetics,
and often a patient will become so
stimulated and active before the eff
feet is secured that it requires several
strong men to hold him."
The idea that the mere Introduction
of chloroform into room would cause
uncOnsciousness was derided as alb
Surd. Even if doors and windows
We're air tight it would take several
gallons Of either anaesthetic to so fill
a room with the heavy fumes as to af-
feet a sleeper on a bed of average
height And the first effect would be,
not deep sleep, but excited wakeful-
ness. The chances are, then. that
when anybody claims to have been
chloroformed by burglars there is
something queer about the case.-New
York Times.

The Woman and the Car.

It's a strange thing about women and
cable cars when the time comes for
them to part. A man or a boy will just
naturally drop off the car and start
along the street as if nothing had hap
pened, but let q woman attempt to
emulate his example and sad work
does she make Of it. Even rainy
day costume doesn't help her out much,
for skirts have little to do with her
bungling method Of leaving the car.
1t is matter that cannot be explained
so easily as can her inability to throw
a ball, for in the latter case anatomy
is at fault.
Sometimes she puzzles over it her.
self, but in the majority Of cases she
gives the matter no thought, but sim
ply rises, grasps the railing, and,
whether the car is at standstill or
in motion, steps off backward. Some
one should be able to offer a reason
able explanation Of the very apparent
fact that her impulse in that case is to
do the incorrect thing. Even when she
carefully studies the subject and trains
herself, to face in the same direction in
which the car is moving it never
seems natural to her.-New York
Sun.

CAMEL'S HAIR BRUSHES.
The Term Misnomer Now, Fol-
Squirrels Furnish the Hair.

The Term a Misnomer Now, For
Squirrels Furnish the Hair.
The cameps hair brush used by art
was time when real camePs hair was
used for this purpose. The ship Of
the desert, however, has long been SUI
perseded by the comely squirrel. Not
only is squirrels hair very much less
costly, but it is better, softer. more
pliable and more durable. At the pres
ent day it is doubtful if you could find
a bushel Of cameIs hair in all the
brush factories in the land. However,
there is no cause for fear that the
graceful little squirrel will be extermi-
mated. 1t is the European squirrel that
furnishes the hair for the brushes, the
covering Of the American squirrel be-
ing too furry and soft for the purpose.
1t is somewhat the same way with
the coarser brushes. The bristles most
priced come from Russia and India,
and the wild hogs Of Germany furnish
their quota. The great American hog
runs to fat and puts forth practically
no bristles. In the countries above
mentioned the collecting of bristles is
quite an important industry among the
peasantry Of certain districts. In COM
paratively few cases are they strip
ped from the dead body Of the hog.
The usual method is to discover the
haunts Of the animals and to gather
the bristles from the trees against
which they rub themselves.-New
York Sun.

They Refuses DUTY.

Sixteen sailors mutinied on the W.
G. Hall OFF the Kau coast last Sunday
and refused duty. II was all caused by
a dispute over barrel of Poi when
the sailors took without perm ,issiol
from the steamer and went ashore TO
have luau. Not returning Oh time,
another boat was sent ashore by Cap
tain Haglund, and the boat which the
sailors had taken, together with the
poi, was taken back TO the steamer.
Afterwards another boat was sen.
for the sailors who came ab)ari in a
sullen mood and did no work all the
rest of the trip. Some half . dozen
sailors, the remainder Of the crew,
had to pitch in and work extra. The
captain and officers all took a hand
and were boat steerers and able SCH
men. The sailors who refused to join
the mutiny were almost worn out get
ting the Kau and Kona freight alb 1ard,
and their wrists were swollen to huge
proportions from constant heavy pull
ing at the oars. The usual cargo of
sugar from Kau and cattle from Kona
was finally loaded, and the Hall ar.
rived in port on schedule time yestcr-
day al noon.

which was established In 1850 by Dr
Titus VI. Coan. Is unique la position
and success. In a circular letter sent
out by Dr.. Coan its purposes and
methods are explained.
They are, in brief, to serve bo,h the
artistic aims and practical interests
of writer's and especially to aid all
authors, whether experienced or not,
who desire excellence in their work.
II seeks to do this by the skilled re-
vision. correction and emendation OF
all manuscripts; by letters of honest
and competent criticism; by advice as
to authorship and publication. The
bureau is, in fact, a chair of English
literature. II aids and advises begin
ners and collaborates with writers al
ready skilled. In its letters of criti-
cism ii tells how the thing is done: Ia
its revision does the thing.
The objects of the bureau are prac-
tical. The search for a publisher costs
time and trouble. On agreement with
the author, hopeful manuscripts, after
revision are forwarded to the editors
or publishers who are most likely to
accept them. Books are seen through
the press good titles are suggested for
author or publisher: awards of liter
airy prizes are made for schools ana
periodicals. All work is done in con
sideration of fee agreed upon by the
| contracting parties.
| The circular contains warm letters
of commentator from able mon,
among whom are George William
Curtis, James Russell Lowell. Charles
Dudley Warner, Joseph w. Harper and
Edmund Clarence Stedman.

prejudice against them will disappear.
The social aspect of the problem viii
be changed, not by efforts of negroes
to break into white circles, but by ef-
forts to establish intelligent circles OF
their own.
1t is understood. though nothing of
the kind appears in the report, that
Mr.. Washington does not place much
value on the right of suffrage as a step
toward equality. He does not think
an ignorant negro gains anything by
being made the tool of white polite
ians. All he asks for is equal protec-
ton for the negro from the law for life,
property and the pursuit of happiness
in his own way. so long as his way is
not unlawful.
