The Advocate, which proved an unfortu-
nate and Improbable venture and was
abandoned after a few months trial. In
1869, in company with j. j. Smart, he
went to Waterloo and purchased The
Reporter office. A bindery and other
improvements were added and a large
business established, Mr.. PARROT now
being the head of the firm, with his two
sons as partners. He also publishes a
popular farmers paper, The Rural Life.
Mr.. Parrot was elected president of
the Iowa Press association in 1880 and
served until 1884, remaining a member
of the executive committee several years
longer. He was elected state binder by
the legislature in 1878 and was twice re-
elected, serving six years. He has served
as mayor of his city three terms. In
1885 he received a nomination by accla-
nation for the state senate and was
elected, and in 1890 he was reelected,
serving in that capacity eight years. In
1895 he was elected lieutenant governor
Of Iowa, a position that he still holds.

BARON GRVERs.

Weckherlin would be named and that
the legation would not be re-estabished.
The arrival of Baron Gevers, however,
definitely settles the question and gives,
too, a flavor of truth to the persistent
rumOr that those in power at The Hague
are DESTROYS of aiding their brothers in
South Africa If not directly, then through
their sympathy and moral influence.
The new minister is outspoken regard
ing the pro-Boer sentiment in his country,
although his position prevents him from
discussing the question, and it is not to
be doubted that should opportunity oc-
cur he would be prompt in offering his
services to the stricken republics. Baron
Gevers is a man of distinguished appear
ance and agreeable manners and has
made a pleasant impression on all those
who have been privileged to meet him.

Forty Years Among CsnnIbaIs.

The French adventurer who was a captive
among cannibal tribe in Central Afric l. for 40
years, has decided to write book describing his

The policemen of Picking are armed
chiefly with small drums, which they
beat loudly in order, it is presumed, to
let burglars know that they are coming.
All night long the watchmen beat their
way around the streets and as natural
consequence are said to make few ar

a light whistle tied to their tails, which
give forth loud sound as they fly. The
blind also use drums to announce their
coming and warn other people to get out

A host OF angels flying,
Through cloudless skies impelled,
Upon the earth beheld

Worthy to glitter bright
In heavens vast hall Of light.
They saw, with glances tender,
A child Of tender years
Ger whose life earliest morn
Just cast its opening splendor.
Virtue il could not know,
Nor vice, nor JOY. nor woe.

That little pearl which shone
With luster all ITS own,
And then on high they bore it,
Where glory has its birth

The conclusions reached were:

On Sunday the Topic of an Express
sion From Rev. R. R. Bigger.
To the Editor OF the Intellgencer.
sIR:-"Not afraid OF the grand
jury!" What! Has 1t come to this?
Well, that is the kind of talk that is
floating from the lips of people who
sympathize with the open and insult
ing defiance OF law by the Interstate
base ball league. It has been said over
and over again in my presence that the
grand jury will let the base ball law
breakers go. Then why not let a thief
go? Why not let n forger 90? Why
not have anarchy galore2
Not afraid of the grand jury" It
looks very much like it, when men who
know themselves to he law-breakars, go
through the moCkCry of having them
selves arrested and bound over TO the
grand Jury. Criminals who are afraid
OF the grand Jury have u horror OF be-
ing bound over to It, The last thing on
earth they would do would be to have
themselves arrested and bound over.
How long is this mockety Of law and
Christian liberty to 90 on In this city?
How long shall we countenance officials
who take part in such mockery?
Not afraid OF the grand jury" Alas!
Do they mean TO insinuate that the Of
ilcnls connected with the grand jury on
all sides or on any side can be tamper-
ed with? Surely not. Do they mean to
inslnuate that these officials nrc In
sympathy with their lagrnnt Sabbath
Dissertation and that the Christian and
lnw-nbldlng citizens shall not have
Justice before the grand jury?
Not afraid Of the grand Juryl" When
every trustworthy lawyer In this city
knows and declares that the law on the
subject is plain and that there Is no
question about the ball players having
broken the Sabbath law. say shame
