been properly stamped TO agents ana
customers without being liable for ad.

The latest ruling of Commissioner Of

ever laid before the pupils of Chicago'S
schools is the elementary treatise On

Chicago Bar.
The work Is entitled Federal and
state Governments" and Is full of valu-
able information and instruction for
the old as we'll az the young reader.
In fact. IT is n handbook as we'll as
n text book. and should bc in the
home of every citizen.
1t is simply and plainly written So
that every chapter Of IL Is easy to read
and easy to understand.
The scope of the work. although linn.
l,cd TO matters pertaining to the sub.
iects contained In it's title. Is large and
covers a great deal Of valuable infor-
nation.
The hook Is divided into two parts.
Part l., which treats of the Federal
Government" covers the following
points: The origin AMI necessity of

ment: different features Of our govern
ment; colonial governments: formation

Salmon, when in perfection, is one OF
the most delicious and nutritiye of fish.
The oil is distributed through the flesh,
and for this reason it proves rather hard
OF digestion for some people. The rich
ness, however, can always be corrected
by the use of an acid or piquant sauce.

Behold Dewey! How are our idols
fallen Again it is demonstrated that
it is better not to put anyone too high
in our gallery of heroes until after he
is dead for fear we will have to take
HIM down again for misconduct.
When Dewey returned from Manila,
and when he was importuned by some
to become candidate for president,
and when he modestly replied that he
was only sailor and had never studied
politics and craftsmanship, the state
ment was accepted as that af blunt
sailor and real hero. Now he says he
has studied the matter and has con-
cluded that the presidents position is
not necessarily difficult one, and that
he thinks he could fill it. His first
statement was the true one. 1t was
made before he was hypnotized by his
ambitious wife aed by her brother,
Jonn r. Mclean.

Legislature Adjourned.

The 2Sth general assembly adjourned
Friday. Concerning its work just
closed, the Iowa Capital says:
The most importantant act was the
passing of the Titus joint resolution,
amending the constitution, providing
for biennial elections, thus re-electing
the enty-eighth general assembly to
the twenty ninth, giving Governor
Shaw another year to his term and ex-
tending the terms of several state Off
GERS. This amendment will undoubt-
edly be adopted by the people this fall,
hence every member of the 2Sth gene
raj assembly, who is living, will be a
member of the twenty-ninth unless he
shall resign. 1t is difficult to name the
next important act, but several may be
named, as follows:
The adoption of the voting machine.
The adoption of Brighton's valued
policy insurance bill.
The reduction on the interest on
school fund loans.
The change in the building and loan
laws.
Prohibition of the employment of
convict labor in the manufacture of
pearl buttons and butter tubs.
The taxing OF express companies on
a mileage basis, which means that
other companies in kindred lines will
ultimately be taxed that way.
The regulation of the reorganization
OF stipulated life insurance companies.
In addition to the above, there were
laws passed making all kinds of
changes in the laws pertaining to in
surance, judicial proceedings, schools,
the government of cities and towns, etc
A large number of legalizing acts
Were passed as usual.
