1t Made Divorce Too Easy

Legal aid will no longer be furnished
free to parties seeking divorce. by the
New Jersey Legal Aid association. Miss
Philbrook. counsel for the association
says the offer was prompted by the
fact that many poor persons had not
the necessary funds to procure divorce
but many applicants able to pay eX-
penses took advantage of the offer. and
that many who applied for aid were
planning to marry again as soon as
they We're divorced.

A IIistorlc Die.

On the desk of the secretary of one
Of the oldest copper manufacturing
firms in this city is steel die which
has served as n paperweight for ;'5
years, and the coins struck off by it arc
now, for the most part, in the hands Of
collectors. This die was used for strik.
ing copper tokens which symbolized
the contest between President Andrew
Jackson and the old United States bank
of Philadelphia in 1882. The engraving
on the die represents President Jack
son, sword i'll hand and apparently
standing in a money chest. Around the
central figure is stamped Jackson's ex-
preston, II take the responsibility"
which arose out Of his controversies
with the bank.
When this die was made, the prede.
cessors of the present company not
only manufactured copper wire, but
also made special feature of copper
coins, chiefly for South American coun-
tries and for private business firms
which made practice of issuing their
own copper coins to be redeemed by
them afterward. During the civil war
and just preceding it many private cor
porations issued tokens which circI-
lated as pennies, and some of them are
now worth great many times their
original value to collectors.-New York

Paid M. Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his ora'orical powers. A certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bill through the house, was approached
by one of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends,
who said:
chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can You give him chance:"
well, you know, think it would
not do. He's new member, and no
body knows what the dickens he might
say"
Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-becamc power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, on the
contrary, had made a series of plumbers
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent. Forgetting his
previous record, lie thought that il he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon
orable gentleman.
The latter calmly surveyed him
through his eyeglass and said:

fallen under Its power you will always
think that every terrific thing in smells
is manifestation of bilge water.

The November Election.

The day of political battle is
fast approaching when the two
great parties of the country will
meet to determine the question of
numerical strength, and who for
the next four years will hold the
reins of government. Never in
our history, at this time in the
contest, has the condition of the
democratic party looked brighter
or a g,eater probability of success
promised. We all know the UNI
certainty of national contests, and
none can, with absolute certainty,
tell just what the result may be,
but everything now points to abb
solute success OF the democratic
party, but we did not intend in
this article to speak as much of
national as local politics.
Harrison county is to decide
who is to fill the Offices of Auditor,
Clerk, Recorder and County At
torney, and the fusion party COM
posed Of democrats, populists and
silver republicans have united
upon the following gentlemen for
the POSITIONS:
For Auditor, w Fl Withrow,
who filled the position one term
very satisfactory, and who was de-
feated by an over-con6dence and
failure to go to the polls by his
party. 1t is notorious fact that
Harrison county never had a more
competent modating and faith
full public officer than W FL With
row, and that his election to that
position at the coming election
would be acceptable to large
number of people in the county
goes without saying. His nomin-
alton came to him unsolicited, and
was accepted as duty and if rati-
fed at the polls will insure COM
petent and faithful public servant
in the Office of County Auditor.
For County Recorder, Charles
[ Alexander has been selected by
the unanimous vote Of fusion
convention. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to speak of Charley Alexan-
der-he is SO we'll and favorably
known by the people of Harrison
county that no introduction is

important positions in the county
and always to the entire satisfac-
ton of the public. He is thor
oughly qualified for the position;
careful and honest in his work,
afiable and kind in his intercourse
with the public, and a safe man to
entrust the records of the county
with. We expect to see him
elected by q handsome majority
and feel satisfied that the people
of the county will never regret

Unless there was miscarriage of
intentions, q meeting occurred IN Chi.
cAgo Wednesday of this week of rep
resentatives of all the principal Iowa
railroads, for the purpose of entering
into q good faith agreement to dis
continue all railroad construction in
the state of Iowa.
This information comes from well
posted railroad man who was in Sioux
City last night. He said unless the
meeting was postponed for some rea-
son there WAS likely in force now an
agreement that laying of new track in
this state, or more particularly new
line, should cease.
Such a contract was in force in the
state for ten years, prior to the prep
erations made by the Illinois Central
railroad to build into Omaha from Fl
Dodge" said the Tribune informant
"The Central was not in the deal and
so no faith was broken when it began
building. This move, however, pre-
cipitated scramble for position and
the old agreement was shattered.
Roads were built which pulled heavily
upon the treasures of the companies
and were not really desired by them at
this time. The roads have Gained
down and have got together again, OF
will, and am confident you will see
no more construction of lines by old
companies for some years yet. Entlr-
ely new companies may do building,
and IN that manner may force the OLD
lines into activity again.
~ have reason to know that the
Rock Island was figuring strongly
upon building into Sioux City from
Gowrie, la. IF the agreement is made
as planned, of course this project will
be abandoned Sioux City Tribune
