ONE Part DONE.

When the Boer peace ENJOYS reached
this country last week it was announced
that they would try to induce this gov
eminent to interfere in behalf of their
country and if that effort failed thew
would try to agitate the people. The
effort to induce the government to in
terfere has failed. Yesterday the en-
Voys were cordially welcomed by Secre-
tary Hay and plainly told that this gov
eminent couldn't do any more for the
Beers than it had done. So that is set
tied. How much effort will be made to
agitate the people remains to be seen.
Probably not much, for the ENJOYS will
be able to see that they can't accom-
plish much, and they may soon read
that President Kruger has sued for
peace There is not a little sympathy
in this country with the Beers, but the
of their cause is apparent
to all whose sympathy is worth having.

terest in the matter and large amount
of business was divided among many
retailers, who reaped disproportionate
profits. The board found out about
tons, and then every item required for
the thirteen under it's direction for three
months was scheduled, under appropri-
ate heads, as groceries, hardware,
drugs, dry-goods, etc, and copies sent
to manufacturers and wholesalers, with
invitations to bid for their supply. AS
a result, over 1000 bids were secured,
and under keen competition the most
favorable prices have been had. The
board says that the saving to the State
by purchasing in this manner has been
so great that it has been able to in
crease the quantity and secure better
quality of material, and furnish many
articles to the institutions that with the
former methods of purchasing goods
could not have been procured. The
large surplus to the credit Of the Iowa
State institutions, which was in excess
of $100, 900 at the close of the last fiscal
year, is mainly due to the methods of
supplies and holding every
person to a strict accountability who
handles or uses the property of the

THE SALAMANDER'S QUEER BUR-
ROWS.


| ROWS.
In many places in the extreme south
ern states, especially in what are local.
~ known as the "piney woods one of
the most notable features Is the con-
stantly recurring mounds OF yellow
sand which everywhere dot and 1t must
be confessed disfigure the monotonous
landscape. These piles of earth are
usually nearly circular in form fairly
symmetrical in contour, from six inches
to two feet In diameter, and save where
they have been beaten down by rain or
winds or the trampling of cattle about
half as high as they are broad. Often
these sand heaps are pretty evenly dis
tributed, sometimes so thickly as to COW
er at least one-fourth of the soil sur
face. If you ask a native the cause of
this singular phenomenon, which you
will perhaps at first be disposed to con-
sided a kind of arenaceous eruption
which has somehow broken out on the
face of nature, your informant will SEN
tentiously reply, "Salamandersl'
All this Disagreement is indeed the
work of a curious little rodent popularity

of an ordinary rat. He Is never seen
above ground if he can possibly help it,
lie digs innumerable branching under
ground tunnels, at depths verifying from

sand are simply the dump heaps"

A Observation-Disclosures.

The sun hotly blazed on the long, dusty
street
That leads to the hurrying mart.
And the wearisome spell of the languorous
heat
Seemed to penetrate cen to the heart.
And yet Ike Il memory, distant and dim,
There came through the foliage dense
A perfume--it banished the trowning SO
grim
OF lilacs from over the fence.
The wayfarer paused and there came to
his mind
The old-fashioned place of his birth:
lllumed by face that was gentle and kind,
The gentlest and kindest on EARTH
The big, rambling garden, the nook where
a boy
Dreamed on Of future immense:
Where the sunbeams would linger In --LATEST
joy,
And the iacs hung over the fence.
Again to the journey Again to the strife,
And yet, mid the toll of the day,
A faint, subtle odor With memories rife
Full oft through the air seemed to stray.
The smile had meaning which no one
could learn,
That lightened his features so tense,
AS the perfume in fancy would sweetly
return
OF lilacs from over the fence.

MOTT A EI NDID LIVE.

Why Judge George w. Wheeler should
be willing to leave the bench to lead
the Democratic forlorn hope in this
State has not been plain, and now it is
| plain that he hasn't been and doesn't
intend to be willing to do such desper-
ate deed. The Bridgeport Farmer has
the following to say: But Judge Wheel
er is not a candidate for the nomination
nor would he accept it We're it rendered
him. When he accepted the call to the
bench he felt and rightly, that his first
duty was to devote all his time and
thought to the faithful discharge of the
high functions entrusted to him. His
judicial position took him out of active
politics and he could not, he felt, in
honor engage in them without resgnng
from the bench and abandoning-tem-
porarily at least, as Governor Ingersoll
with high-minded delicacy did during
his four terms Of office--the practice of |
a profession to which he is devoted, and |
to which he has dedicated his life. |
This being the case further mention Of
Judge Wheeler's name in connection
with the nomination for Governor
should cease, and kindly and courteous
as has been all that both Democratic
and Republican journals have said of
him in view of what both thought the
possibility of his candidature, any fur
Their mention Of 1t would be, it seems to
ls, better avoided.

ratio men who will not have time or

IRA DE HXP1NSION.

| Mr.. e. l.. Harris, consular agent OF
the United States at EibenstoclS. Ger
many, has something to say to Ameri-
can manufacturers which seems to be
worth their attention He has come to
the conclusion that for the amount of
labor devoted by American manufactur-
ers to the securing of Continental mar
kets for their goods they could secure
results three or four times as satisfac-
tory in Africa Siberia, China, Australia
and South America. The more one be-
comes familiar with the Continent of
Europe, Mr. Harris says, the more one
is convinced that no lasting results can
be secured there. He believes particu-
larly in the possibilities of the English
colonies as places for the disposal of
American manufactures just as Eng
land is the best customer for our excess
Of foodstuffs. England" he continues,
buys 60 per cent. of all the products
which the American farmer sends
abroad I may add that Great Britain
has never shown the enmity toward
these products which has characterized
the actions of some European nations
The cotton grower of the South is aware
Of the value of the English market for
his products. But the manufacturer of
iron and steel has the greatest interest
in the British empire as market. His
exports to England may be proportion
ately small but in the colonies he is adj
with strides and bounds. He
has more to hope for from these colo |
MES in the future than from any other /
countries. Our bridge builders are busy
n India and Egypt. Our steel rails,
machinery and gavanic wires are in
South Africa. British enterprise and
stability in all these countries mean in
'reased opportunities and markets for
ur manufacturers"
MI. Harris ideas are at least plausi-
lie. American manufacturers ought to
re and probably are able to get their
hare of trade in the new fields.

Concerning the profits made by
Krupp in his contracts with Germany,
the statement is made that some time
ago Krupp furnished field guns at ST.
145 each. Competitors afterward re-
ceived an order for the same kind for
$464 80 each. Thereupon Krupp reduced
his price from $1,145 to s452.sS. for
shrapnels Krupp received $2.03; his com
petitors furnished them at S119. 1t is
an error to say that Krupp alone can
furnish nickel plates for the navy. The
process of manufacture is no secret, but
is known by every intelligent manufac-
turer. If there were competition, the
nickel plates could be obtained at half
the price paid to Krupp. The navy
department, however, prescribed condi-
tons which make competition impossi-
BILE. Testing grounds are required of
the same dimensions as those of Krupp,
which belong to the government and

provisions for testing 24-centimeter guns
would cost between $500 5000 and $3.50, 900;
for 15-centimeter guns, $4,000. Without
previous assurances on the part of the
government nobody would risk such an
investment

recently, I found Madrid one of the
most interesting. 1t has number of
out of the way features that appeal to
one.
while I was in Madrid I tried to
purchase one of the famous Toledo
blades. The old-fashioned two-handed
sword was what wanted to get, one OF
those that were built to cut through
armor and which fulfilled their mission
completely, as many a bloody battle
field in ye ancient days bore testimony
I had to give 1t up on account of the

while / was looking for one a shop
keeper showed me a most scientific
trick. His store was very lofty, running
up two or three stories, and he was de-
scanting on the beauties of this partic-
ular sword when, in order to prove the
perfect temper of the metal, he drove
the point into the floor and bent the
blade until hilt and point met He then
suddenly released the hilt. and that six
feet of cleaning sword sprang up into
the air like thing alive Up and up It
went, almost to the lofty ceiling itself
when it lost its imeptus and began its
descent hi1t first. 1t returned almost
to the place whence it started, the shop
keeper catching it by the hilt with prac-
ticed ease and returning it to its case. L
was crazy to try it myself, but the own
err refused to allow me, as he said
would probably not only wreck the
store, but perhaps injure myself as well.
He told me that If 1 wanted to learn
the trick I had better practice it in a
large open lot, and that a suit of armor
wouldn't be a bad thing to wear until
/ got the hang of 1t.
