Good Luck to the Horse.

Burlington Hawkeye: The American
horse, in which many Iowa farmers
have a direct interest, is becoming an
important factor in the British in
yasion OF the South African republics
England is spendinr in this country
more than five million dollars for ami.
mals to carry her men to Pretoria
This is likely to revive the home horse
market, which has suffered depression
since bicycles, trolley and cable cars
came into vogue. The battlefield is
not very safe place for man or brute
but war is not all tiohting. A cam.
paign often comprehends an active
merry existence in the open air, under
fair skies, with plenty of fresh green
grass to eat and numerous dust holes
in which to roll. The long voyage
across the Atlantic in this case is OBJ
jectionable, because the stalls are never
very roomy; but life atield in South
Africa has many attractive features. A
happy journey then, to the American
horse with the wish that the Boer bull
lets will never find it.

a ship channel in the lakes can be kept
open in winter by ice crushers. Rus
STA has built in England an ice-crush-
ing vessel whose trial trips are said to
prove that it can open any harbor or
waterway. no matter how thick the
ice may be. Two such vessels, it is
suggested, working from opposite ends,
could maintain passage thru the
lakes in midwinter.

Why?

Sioux City Journal: Why are the
farmers feeling pretty contented at
the opening of their busy season in
this last year of the nineteenth cen
tury? The American Agricnlturalist
gave some pertinent answers to this
query in u recent statistical review
OF farm conditions in the United
States. The most surprising and
gratifying features of the showing
made are in reference 10 the present
values of farm products. The Total
value of the agricultural products Of
the United States last year is shown
TO be $1,6oo,ooo,oOo greater than dur
ing any Of the years of 1894, 1895 and

Lacey's Record.

Keokuk Gate City: The Oskaloosa
Herald thinks Major Lacey will be
renominated for congress by acclama-
ton. Speaker Reed, who never made
mistakes about his man, considered
Major Lacey one Of the most efficient
members of the house, and he recog-
nized him for the passage of measures
probably more frequently than any
other member. Major Lacey's COM
mittee had many measures TO report
affecting different parts of the coun-
try, and he is SO wise in judgment,
prepares his case with such accuracy
and puts it with such brevity and di-
rectness and has such almost invari-
able success in carrying the house
with him, that Reed always recognized
that Lacey's measures were some
thing worth doing and were not done
for claptrap and bunkum. After quite
full knowledge we are persuaded that
there is not a more capable lawmaker
in the house than John Il. Lacey.
There are good men in the Sixth dis
trict and many of them, but no one
of them can do for his district, his
state and his country what John f.
Lacey can.

Fire Could Not Have Been More
Painful.

After spending two years in TAX
ing all kinds OF medicines that were
suggested for eczema, but without
avail, my mother was induced to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The result was
wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs
had been terribly lacerated by the dis
ease, and there were times when fire
could not have been more painful.
She was, in fact, almost wild. Two
bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla COM
pletely cured her, and not trace Of

WI s.a. aonnty reaches Q, pop.
ulation it is entitled to a circuit
clerk and a county clerk. The
1900 census returns were an
nounced after the September
election and in the fourteen ad-
ditional counties shown to be en-
titled to two clerks, Gov. Jones
claims he has the right to and is
appointing county clerks. In
these counties the circuit clerks
claim they were elected to fill
both offices for two years and
cannot legally be deprived of
half the emoluments thereof, and
this is also the opinion of Atty
Gen. Jeff Davis. In the mean
time Gov. Jones is appointing
county clerks, the circuit clerks
are employing attorneys and the
matter will be tested in the
courts.

judicial officers, and it favors
these officers being elected for
six or eight years. If the DEM

ing an officer, as is sometimes
the case, they would have a long
time to kick themselves before
they had a chance to right the
wrong.
