-Lynnville Ledger: According to
all reports the small pox trouble at
Oskaloosa is about over and there is
believed to be no danger likely to oc-
cur to outsiders who may desire to
visit that city. The Downing house
re-opened Tuesday evening and
something like one, hundred business
men took supper there, not neces-
sarliy because they had nothing to
eat at home, but as an evidence of
good faith--a sort of object lesson to
the outside world. The Ledger is
truly glad to be able to chronicle the
fact of this dread disease being un-
der control in Oskaloosa, and desires
to compliment Mayor Wray and his
co-workers in the radical methods
adopted in connection with handling
the disease. .

ON FIRST BALLOT

Newton Journal.-Correspondents
for the Des Moines papers have
evidently taken the affairs of the
Sixth district in charge, and are busy
forecasting events in the congression-
al contest. What the Interior object
is cannot be definitely discerned, but
one thing we can insure all interested
the convention will nominate Maj
John F. Lacey on the first ballot. The
time may come when another gentle
man may be the Republican candidate
for congress in this district, but that
time is not now. The long experience
of Major Lacey is too valuable to
"trade horses" in the present exigen-

STORY or MATT PARROTT.

Des Moines Capital: Governor
Parrott had no particular sense of
humor, yet no one better enjoyed a
dry joke than he. He was member
of the state senate at the time of the
impeachment trial of State Auditor
Brown, and being home on leave of
absence and finding it impossible, to
return, he telegraphed to Lieutenant
Governor Hull, presiding officer of
the senate, as follows:
"See Luke 14th chapter, 18th verse" "
When the above was received,
Lieutenant Governor Hull procured
copy of the New Testament from
the state library and found the last
sentence of the 14th chapter of Luke
to read as follows:
II pray thee, have me excused"
When the Bible was found, the
telegram and verse were read to the
senate, much to the enjoyment of all
present.

"a BLACK SHEEP

The Fairfield Ledger presented the
following story of scrub sheep that
was rejected, but increased her own
value more than 800 per cent within
six months:
Last fall, in making sale of a
bunch of sheep at SO per head, F. @.
Hollister, of Buchanan township, had
one eve rejected because she did not
come up to the standard. He cared
for her during the winter, and is as
well satisfied as if she had been taken
when sold. She had twin lambs in
January which weighed ninety pounds
at three months and sold at six cents
per pound, or $40. The eve her.
self weighed 140 pounds and brought
s4.90, while she sheared eight pounds
of wool which sold for twenty-three
and one-half cents per pound, or
S1.8S. Here is return from this
animal of S12.1S. There is nothing on
the Jefferson county farm which
gives better returns than the sheep
when properly handled-and under
Republican administration"
Charge this up to Mckinley also
while you are posting the administra
tion's account.

A WARNING TO BOYS.

Four large business concerns of
Chicago, have absolutely forbidden
the use of cigarettes by their en-
ployes either in or out of business
hours. They are Montgomery, Ward
& Co., Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett
& 90. and the Heath & Milligan
Manufacturing 90. In all 100 en-
ployes are affected by the rule, four
flfths of whom are boys under Is
years of age.
The prohibitive edict has been pro-
mulgated in the interest of the en-
ployes themselves, with the explana-
ion that confirmed cigarette,smokers
are not likely to develop into COM
petent and valuable employees. 1t is
set forth that the use of cigarettes,
especially by the young, tends to
make the users nervous, to befog the
intellect, and stunt mental growth
that these effects in time may effect
the honesty of an empioye; that the
smell of the "filthy weed from the
breath or clothing of the smoker is
offensive to many customers and 9th.
or employees" and finally that cigar
cite smokers can not give their en-
ployes their best energies in the way
OF service.

manner, in tone and in language Mr.
Lacey is mollifler. When nine
tenths of the representatives would
fail in trying to steer ibill to pass
age, Lacey will reach the safe harbor
of enactment. There is something
about this Iowan which disarms OPP
position. The man who rises and
asks a question which indicates a
lurking disposition to object gets an
answer which disarms him and he
subsidies to let the bill go through.
One of Mr.. Lacey's qualifications for
successful promotion of legislation is
his ability to make the house good
humored. The most ordinary and
stupid subject is enlivened under his
manipulation. One day last week
Mr.. Lacey put through a bill which
creates national park of the petri-
fed forest in Arizona. He told how
lot of coniferous treesof an extinct
species had fallen and had been
covered by prehistoric sea. The
logs had become water soaked and
had fallen to the bottom of the sea,
to be covered with sand and to turn
in time to chalcedony. Then the sea
had disappeared. The sand had hard
ened to rock. The rock had become
worn and disintegrated by the ele-
ments and had fallen away, leaving
these petrified trunks, all of the ex-
tinct pine, save one of cottonwood.
He dwelt briefly upon the propriety
of preserving this great curiosity by
a great reservation, and then in his
smooth way he told the following:
81 would like to call the attention of
some of the gentlemen of this house,
who have had much to say about an
English alliance to one thing con-
nected with this proposed park. The
new railway station and postoffice on
the railway nearest the park is NAM
ed after an old resident settler, Mr..
Adam Hanna. The place is named
'Adamanna. The HI has been dropp-
ed in the most English fashion from
this name, and 'Adamanna' is the re-
suit. hope this evidence of British
infiuence.will prejudice no one against
the park" And it didn't. The bill
passed witout dissenting vote.
But what holds good of Lacey is
substantially the same of the other
Iowa members as useful and persis-
tent legislators. The delegation as
whole is the strongest in both
branches of our national congress.

FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

F. w. Bicknell the we'll known Des
Moines correspondent says: "As the
canvass for supreme judge progresses
it becomes more and more evident
that Chancellor Emlin McClain, of
the state university, has an excellent
prospect of being nominated. He
has active, hustling friends, not only
in every county, but in almost every
town, little and big, throughout the
state. The graduates of the university
law school like the chancellor and
want him to receive the nomination.
They are in a peculiarly good position
to help him. They can get on the
delegation and they are pretty sure
to have some friends on with them
who will help them when the right
time comes. So many of the other
candidates are handicapped in vari-
GUS ways that this general, statewide
force cannot fail to have a decisive
effect, particularly as Chancellor Nc
Claim is in no way entangled with any
other contest in Iowa politics and his
nomination would not mean the sue
cess or failure of any faction. Senator
Blanchard, of Oskaloosa, is quite
generally considered next in point OF
strength"

FOLLY of KILLING BIRDS

Washington Cd. O. Post. Repre-
sentative Lacey, of Iowa, is hearing
great deal these days about his bill
for the protection of insectivorous
and song birds and for prohibition
of sales of game that has become
subject to interstate laws, unless that
game is killed in accordance with
state laws. Yesterday he held in his
hand an urgent telegram from the
Virginia Division League of American
Sportsmen, asking that the bill be
taken up and passed.
perhaps you have noticed" OBJ
served Mr.. Lacey, "that you can
hardly open an apple nowadays with
out finding cobwebs and ravages of
worms. The horticulturists say it is

are protected by state laws, but nev.
ertheless they are secretly killed and

there is no law to punish the trans
portation of game unlawfully killed.
"Horticulturists, and especially
farmers, from all over the country

CONSOLING STATISTICS.

Fairfield Ledger: The people who
complained so bitterly of the treat
ment ofAmerican soldiers in the war
with Spain might be able to find some
consolation in a comparison of the
army statistics of that period with
those of the British army in South
Africa. In the Spanish-American
war 1O7 officers and 2,OS3 men died
from wounds or disease, while 113
officers and l ,464 men were wounded.
In six months of the Boer war 800
officers and &, ,944 men have died from
wounds or disease, 1856 officers and
1922 men are missing, 2SS officers
and 1884 men have been sent home
as invalids, while 765 officers and 12,
800 men are sick and wounded in the
hospitals. The Spanish-American
war was conducted at a most unfav-
orable season of the year and in q
most unhealthsul climate y hile much
more favorable conditions have SUR
rounded the operations OF. the British
army in South Africa.

be to kiss every one whom she met.

and "Barkus was willin." She then
made a dive for Lafe Young and

she spied Dick Clarkson coming up
the street and she made for him with
great enthusiasm. Dick tried.to save
himself but was about to fall victim
to her entreaties when aipoliceman
arrested here. The officer told her
that'she was crazy. "What evidence

that all the evidence he needed was

GOLD PRODUCTION.

Official reports to the director of
the mint show that the gold yield of
the American mines in Alaska in 1899
was s5, ,6OO,O 900; similar reports to the
Dominion authorities show that the
gold product in the Klondike field
was $4,000, 900, making the total
product for the year in the Alaskan
field s21 SOC, ,0OO.' Conservative esti-
mates place the cleanup" this year
in the Klondike region at 80 per cent
more than last year, and with the
development Of the Cape Nome field
that from American territory will
probably be double what it was last
year. 1t is notunlikely that the gross
product of the extreme northwest
this year will be $40, 900 900.

words for this reason are always
taken as authority, in recent inter.

"Tbe republican party will win be-
cause it should win. 1t has redeemed

sions. 1t has gained for the nation a
large addition of prestige and power

W0ODsoN FOR ALTERNATE.

While there are anumber of candi-
dates in the Sixth district for the of
fee of delegate to the National Re-
publican convention, we have so far
heard of only one man who asks to
be an alternate, and that is Mr.. Geo.
Woodson, of Muchakinock, Iowa
Monroe and Keokuk counties have
already endorsed his candidacy, and
his home county, Mahaska, will un-
doubtedly unanimously instruct for
him. Mr.. Woodson is an attorney
of recognized ability, and is good
public speaker. He is one of the
leading colored men in Iowa, and is
Republican on any and every oc-
casion. The Sixth district will do
we'll to recognize Mr.. Woodson's de-
sires as in his appointment the large
colored vote in the district will be
pleased and honored.

effort to be present. There is moth
ing that does party so much good
as to get started right, and the work
of this first gathering should be a
keynote to the enthusiasm that will
mark the coming campaign. Deler
gates will be selected to the state
and district conventions, and indi-
rectly to the national convention, and
it therefore behooves all to take a
lively interest in affairs and see that
good representatives are chosen for
the several offices. This is the pre-
liminary skirmish for state and ma
tional politics-let every man be at
his post so that the victory may be
complete from start to finish.
