In the Eleventh District 4 Democratic
nominee of the right stamp would de-
feat Congressman Joy. The district is
naturally Democratic. The conditions
are much more favorable than at any
time since 1892. The Democrats of the
district should bring out their best man
and redeem the district. They cannot
do 1t by waiting for candidates to offer
themselves. 1t is one of the periods
when the best man should be sought out
and persuaded to lead his party to vic
tory.

The Old WheelhOrse,

He's Juggling at the traces.
The party wheelhorse true,
You'll always find him at his post
When there's hard work to do;
The lead team and the swing team,
They have their proper share.
But the wheel team does the heavy work.
And the old wheelhorse is there!
When the guns go into action.
He pulls 'em every mile;
He's not picked out for handsomeness.
And he doesn't count for style:
che lead team and the swing team.
They prance and paw the air.
But the wheel team gets the guns in range.
And the old wheelhorse Is there!

WHAT D]NS REPORT SAYS.

THE CONDITION OF BUSINESS.

New York, Jan. 15.-R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade says that mon

with "a, OOO, 900 from the interior dur
ing the week and further deposits by
the treasury and more liquidation in
ed.
The furnaces in blast January were
producing weekly 294, 1s6 tons of pig
iron, against 900, $50 December 1, but
as several had stopped only for the
the holidays and others had started,
the output now is probably larger than
at either date. 1t exceeds consump-
ton at least, as the Iron Age shows
an increase of 9,256 tons in unsold
stocks. Prices change scarcely any,
nor is new business significant The
minor metals are strong in tone, but
as yet without much change in prices.
Textile manufactures are more fully
employed than for long time though
cotton mills. Trading is embarrassed
by uncertainty about prices. Wool is
not active, nor are spectators or man
.ufacturers in haste to buy at current
prices. Cotton goods have been quiet
and no longer advance in prices, as the
market for the material is uncertain
in tone.
The boot and shoe manufacture has
similar difficulty, for while shipments
are heavier than ever before at this
season, in two weeks 1886 cases
against 14s,174 last year and III, ISL
cases in 1898, as the rapid distribution
to consumers causes most urgent calls
for goods previously ordered, yet deal
ers are slow to order more, in fear that
prices will not hold. Manufacturers
insist that still further advances are
needed to cover the cost of leather.
The Chicago market for hides is weak,
with lower average than at any time
since November 1.

The origin OF chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt what
ever that Its birthplace was In India
and that It IL an offspring OF game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
In Oriental literature as In use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia,
and then into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took 1t into Spain and the
rest of western Europe. The game was
In all probability Invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art OF war.

of a young despot by his father,
learned Brahnin, to teach him that
king, Notwithstanding his power. was
dependent for his safety upon his sub
jects. The Greek historians credit the
invention of the game to Palainedes,
who, they claim, devised 1t to beguile
the tedium of the siege of Troy during

rroubl. In reaoh,pr MONKEYS.

An experienced animal trainer says:
GAS rule, monkeys are easily trained,
but OCCASIONALLY there Is one, as In the
human species, who is a Ounce, and
won't learn anything, is positively stu
pid and refuses persistently to become
educated. The trouble In teaching
monkeys is largely that they are mis-
chievous. They try to overdo things
and do things which are not wanted
of them, so that in order to make them
perform as desired steady drilling Is
necessary, although they grasp an
idea quickly. The only two species
of animals which can be taught by pre-
cept and example are the chimpanzee
and the orang-outang. They are imi-
tators, and to instruct them in doing
thing it is only necessary for the
trainer to do it first himself, and then
either one of these will initiate him"

husband, for alimony. Buffers mar.

wages could not be garnisheed for ali
mony as he needed all his salary for
maintenance of his second family.

the garnishment. The district court
held that the decree for alimony was a
higher obligation than debt, and did
not come within the exemption law.

another LAW ANNULLED.
Taxation of judgments Act De-
clared Unconstitutional.
THE OPINION WAS UNANIMOUS

Topeka, Jan. 13.-The law requiring
the listing of judgments for taxation,
passed by the legislature of 1897, is de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court. The opinion was unanimous.
The Law was attacked by ex-Lieuten-
ant Governor A. NJ. Harvey, who sign
ed the bill, as the presiding officer of
the senate, after its passage. He made
the attack for client in Iowa, named
J. NJ. Hamilton. Hamilton held a
judgment against a man in Ellsworth
county. He did not pay taxes on the
jungment, and the man against whom
it was held bought it in at tax sale for
S13. When Hamilton learned this, he
asked the clerk of the district court of
that county, T. r. Wilson, to issue an
execution on the judgment. Wilson
refused to do so. The district judge
also refused to make an order directing
him to do it. Then Hamilton, through
Attorney Harvey, applied for writ of
mandamus in the supreme court to
compel Clerk Wilson to issue an execu-
ton. The supreme court threw the
caaSout of court on the ground that it
should have been started in the district
court of Ellsworth county. The court
had overlooked the statement of the
attorneys that such an application had
been made and denied. The attention
of the court was called to this by At
torney Harvey. 1t then reopened the
case and, after brief consultation,
declared the law unconstitutional and
ordered the clerk to issue an execution.
