Creamery Partly pestroved.

LeMars, Aug. 15.-The LeMars cream
cry building was partially destroyed by
fire early Tuesday. Fire was discovered
in a coal shed adjoining the main build
ing. The flames quickly spread and
only hard work by the volunteer fire
brigade prevented a total loss. Spon-
taneous combustion is supposed to have
been the cause. The damage to the
building and machinery is estimated at
$1,50o. covered by Insurance. A number
of farmers operating under the name Of
the LeMars Creamery Association own
the plant which was erected several
years ago.

EATON For SPEAKER.
Mitchell County Man Has an Easy
Thing for Honors Next Winter.

Mitchell County Man Has an Easy
Thing for Honors Next Winter.
Des Moines, Aug 15.-Willard L.
Eaton, of Mitchell county, will be next
speaker of the house of representatives.
He was the Cummins candidate for
speaker at the last session. and had de-
cided he would be candidate the next
time.
George w. Clarke, of Dallas county,
had contemplated becoming a candi-
date. He was one of the strongest of
the Cummins supporters and stands
high in the councils of the party; but
he has found out that Eaton expects
to be candidate and has announced
to his friends that he will not be a can
didate, but will support Eaton. This
simplifies matters considerably and
leaves the field clear for Eaton.
1t is morally certain that the next
house will be strongly favorable to the
Cummins people and they will have an
easy victory this time The anti Cum
minis or machine sentiment is largely
in those counties which are normally
democratic or very close. 1t is there
fore probable, in view OF the luke
warmness of the machine forces, that
they will lose number of representa-
tives, while the Cummins men, who
reside in the strong republican coun-
ties. are more certain of election. This
phase Of the question Is causing some
worry to the anti Cumins men. They
realize that unless they bestir them
selves for the entire state ticket in
counties which they control they are
likely to lose n number of legislative
seats and also lose the county offices.
II there should be big slump in the
counties of southeastern and eastern
Iowa, where the machine has every
thing it's own way, the loss will be
largely that of the machine element,
and they would be SO completely dis
credited in the party that they would
be unable to recover for many years.

The report of the proceedings OF the
annual meeting of the Iowa Academy OF
sciences has just been printed and pub
l:shed. The report makes a volume OF
27S pages. It is carefully edited by tff
Esecretary. Samuel w. :Beyer. The an
nual session OF the Academy was held
at the time Of the meeting Of the State
Teachers Association, hence was given
but little space in the newspapers. The
report of the secretary showed that
there had been added to the membership
during the year six fellows, seventeen
associate members and two corresponds
ing members. The revised roster showed
fifty-six fellows, fifty three associates
and forty-five corresponding members.
AT the December meeting eleven fellows
were elected, seventeen associates and
two corresponding members. The presi-
dents address by William H. Norton,
which was fine effort, is given in full.
He discussed the Social Service of Sci
ence." Some of the papers which are
published are of practical value, as that

Ames, study of the terrace formation

If they had nobody knew what it was.
Some had declared that it was a Bur-
lington scheme and was primarily for
the purpose of frightening the Rock
Island out of its plan to build south or
to worry the projectors of the electric
lines to Winterset. But the company
has gone ahead to secure the signatures
to petition to the voters Of winterset
asking for tax in its aid. and the spe-
c!al election will be called. as they ala
ready have the necessary number of sig
natures. The plans of the company have
as yet attracted no attention here.

FRANCE CELTIC OR LATIN?
Argument of an Englishman That Ap- pears to Admit of No DIs-
 putation.

An Englishman, writing to the ed- itor of London Spectator, says:
 'sIn connection with the recent visit of the Italian fleet to Toulon there have been many references in the Eu- ropean press to renewal of the en- tente cordiale between two Latin na- tions. It may be of some interest to inquire in what sense the term Latin can be correctly applied to the French, whom, almost in the same breath, many people are apt to describe as a Celtic people. One thing surely is certain, that in blood the French can not be at the same time both Latin and Celtic Yet the inconsistency does not seem to strike people.
 x think that, although outside Provence the French have little or no Latin-i. e., Italian-blood in their veins, the explanation of their being described as Latin race is to be found in the fact that their language and civilization are both Latin. It seems no longer permissible to hold that the French are mainly Celtic in blood, the view being now generally accepted that the bulk of the popula- Eion in France is of a pre-Celtic, and probably of Iberian or Ligurian, stock. And this view seems to hold good also of Ireland and Wales.''

MI.uhaped Men Arc nIany.

The majority of men are more or less deformed. Shoulders of unequal height, arms and legs of different lengths and disproportionate shoul- ders and hips are the rule, rather than the exception. The tailor's art serves to conceal most of these defects. The most common physical defect among men is unevenness of the shoulders. The difference is usually so small that only an eye accustomed to noticing such things will see it. A closely fit ting coat will often hide this, since the symmetry of the garment will deceive the eye. When difference is more pronounced the tailor usually pads the lower shoulder. It issoften neces- sary to cut the sleeve hanging from the lower shoulder shorter in order to keep the garment symmetrical. The aips arc often badly out of drawing. A difference of half an inch would scarcely be noticeable, but it may be much more.-N. Y. World.

HE WAS A SOCIAL LION.
But the Girls Were DfsflIusioned When They Learned He Was
 n Detective.

At fashionable wedding reception recently given in this city the atten- ton of couple of girls was attract ed to rather .ine-looking man whose prematurely gray hair and clear-cut features combined in giving him dis tinguished appearance. 1T see him at nearly every large wedding I go to-" said one. 1T wonder who he can be. I've asked lots of people and no- body seems to know. Yet he seems to be invited everywhere" .'Yes, I've noticed him, toe," said the other girl. While he apparently goes to all the big weddings, he doesn't seem to know anybody, or at least I've never seen him talking to anybody. He's such an interesting looking man, too I'd love to meet him. He looks like a man who had lived and-and suffered.''
 A young man standing near, who couldn't help oyerhearing this con versation, laughed. Perhaps I can. throw some light upon the identity of your mysterious hero,'' he said. Do you know him?'' exclaimed both girls in the same breath. "Wen, [ can't say that exactly know him." replied the young man, "but know who he is. He's a private detective. Perhaps you have noticed that he never strays far away from the table on which the gifts are displayed. Thar's what he's there for-to watch them. You know, there are social highwaymen in"
 Let's go downstairs. and get some refreshment." interrupted one of the girls.

Man passes down the way of years, and
 ruins mark his trail. He buildeth, and the hand of Time wipes
 out his structures frail. Upon the graves of greatness past new
 monuments are placed, And they. in turn, by heeting years, are
 ruthlessly effaced. Ills hopes, ambitions loves and hates en-
 dure but for the day, Then by the ever busy hand of Time are
 swept away. His glory shineth for space and spreads
 it's brilliant light, Then fades and passes with the rest into
 eternal night. Thrones crunble, fall. and are no more,
 and nations grand decay. Power sinks to nothingness, and wealth
 abideth but day. Fame from its lofty pedestal disdainfully
 Is tost, But to the world no worthy deed or thought
 is ever lost. --Arthur J. Burdick. in Los Angeles HAr- RlG. s

If we could only see a little ways into the future, what a lot of distress

ing accidents we couldprevent. But our sight ends with the present instant. There may be broken limbs and bruised bodies in store for us in an hour-we can't tell.--But we can be prepared.
 A bottle of Dr. Thomas Ec- lectric Oil in the house at the right time has saved many an hour of suffering, many a pre- cious life.
 Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil is monarch over pain. Cuts, burns, bites yield to its soothing influence; sore throat, croup, collie, catarrh, asthma and frost bite are promptly cured, and
