IOWA GftNtOkS AND NOTES.
Roosevelt has never failed in the
performance Of any public duty and he
isn't going to commence now" declares
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The Burlington Hawkeye notices that
The strenuousness in Iowa politics
was all before the conventions were
held
Referring to President Roosevelt, the
Algona Republican says: The country
is fortunate in having in the line OF
succession a man so strong. so affected
fly honest, SO imbued with common
sense This emergency in his life Is not
stranger than others have been. His
whole career is a romance. AT 43 years
of age he comes into the presidency. the
goal of the highest ambition. Yet he
can be said to have won the mastery in
every line of effort which he has en-
tered"
Iowa Falls Seninel: The terse reply
OF the Hon. Bob Cousins to the inquiry
propounded by Philadelphia news
paper. last week. reminds one Of some
of the utterances of Bob Evans, the
principal difference beng that the first
Bob would have expressed in English
more vigorous than elegant"
4 THE pity of it, that one paltry mis-
crennt should be able so to wrong a
great people, exclaims the Nevada
Representative.
OF the late President Mckinley the
Newton Journal says: Few men have
been SO greatly beloved and few men
will go down into his grave with more
well-deserved eulogies.'
The Algona Upper Des Moines notices
that In some respects Roosevelt pre-
sents the same contrast to Mckinley
that johnson did to Lincoln. He is ag-
gressive, self confident. stubborn.
There the likeness ends. Johnson was
Ignorant, narrow minded, easily in
famed. Roosevelt is the best example
we have of the scholar and man of cul-
ture in politics. He is high minded, lib-
eral. and capable OF broad views. He
has been tried in all sorts OF public SER
vice, and thus far his stubborness born
of integrity of character. his impetuos-
ity born of clear views of what ought to
be done
Centervilie has three institutions OF
learning, her public schools. and two
of them are named for presidents Of the
United States who were exalted to their
positions and became loved OF their fel-
low citizens only to fall the victims, of
assasins and Join the martyrs. The
North ward bears the name of the Inn
mortal Lincoln, the South ward school
is called the Garfield school. The Clti-
zen urges would 1t not be we'll to COM
plete the trio of names by christening

the right Of free speech we have been
too easy in this country in dealing with
anarchists and other outlaws from the

these vipers at once. A general round
UP is advisable, followed by their depor-
tation and landing on some uninhabited

any law and where they may plot to

VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT
 RULES WITH IRON HAND
Account of Circumstances Responsible For Strained Re
 latiOns Between United States and Venezuela

1 ported to have said, when once Gen eral Ayala. the Minister of Industry suggested that the foreign money An6 immigration should be encouraged tc develop Venezuela's resources.
 "I'll annul every concession he'd by foreigner in this country" the di>,at' or is alleged to have said. "and s'l | the concessions over again.
 Tn December he annulled all the 'n' sessions of the various OriaOeo 'cm- cernS-trading company, the colonva ton company and the shipping and transportation company. an American concerns. with headquarters in New York. The reason he gave for this procedure was that the companies had not carried out their contract colil- tionS. Previous Co this he had an- nulled the concession of the asphalt company of the state of BermuG>z a concession which for ten years or 'nore had been yielding the country a Ia Vt revenue annually. He then sold ,he asphalt property which had been pur- chased years before in fec simple from the government oi Vene ;uela. The as phalt company protested and caiiied the case to the Venezuelan courts. where it was rewarded yith an adverse decision. The the company brought its case Co Washington and placed itS case before the United States eCvcrn- ment The state department i' me diately sent instruction regarding the matter to Minister Loomis m Caracas These instructions Loonis .riied ut to the letter. This pre;ipiiated the trouble in Venezuela.
 Meanwhile. it is said by excellent authorities that each oi the entire dip- lomatic corps m Caracas is posting hs government daily regarding 'he state oi affairs.
 Senor Agusto Pulido Charge r Ai- iaires of the Venezuelan legation at Washington. examined the articles with considerable attention last night at the Waldorf Astoria. He said:

 Gonzales Esteyes, the consul general of Venezuela at this port, refused to discuss the contents of the artice, say ing there is no truth in it.

THEY WERE ALL SCARED.
A Case Of Highway Robbery With q
 Peculiar Ending.

What the hero of this story kicks about Is the fact that his wife forgot her sacred word never to say anything regarding it. Ills business keeps him out late. and he frequently carries con- siderable money. When footpads are reported In evidence. he gets as near home as he can by street car and then takes the best lighted route to his house.
 One night he had reached the front of his own place and had just drawn long sigh of relief when the order Hands upr startled him Into compll- ance. One man held a gun In the i'm. mediate neIghborhood of hls ear and another systematically robbed him Of everything worth carrying or. The or der then was that he walk around the block SO as to defer the use of his tele- phone. and lt was clearly stated that any attempt to turn back. run or call for help would result in his being assasslnated.
 Before he reached the corner it struck him that the voice of one of the men sounded familiar and then that It's owner was a near neighbOr greatly given to practical joking. Back he went on tiptoes. hls revolver in his right hand. and surprised the footpads as they were dividing the spells. He made them lay everything on the walk, and when they strengthened up await Ing the next order he discovered that both were total strangers. His hand dropped from sheer terror, and then the robbers ran one way, while he sprlnted the other. Half an hour later he. his wife and a lantern. a revolver and the hired girl went out and found his money. watch, papers and diamond pin. Ills wife simply ruined the story by telling lt frst.-Detrolt Free Press.

of beauty. Far from it, though it can not be said to be what we call homely. It is just plain, with a plainness done. up in a number of ways. It is not half so pretty and yet far more expensive than the dainty little creations made of stitched white silk and draped around the crown with soft scarf.
 Black and white is universal com bination in millinery and especially in all sorts of breasts and wings and scarfs so commonly used on the shirt waist hat. 9iCherries, either black or red, are a very popular trimming for a simple straw hat to wear in the morning, while for the more dressy or der of headgear feathers, flowers and lace are the things to have.
 Both long and short plumes are used. Long plumes beginning under the brim at one side and carried around the crown make very becoming effect on large hat, especially if it is black. The marquise hat is very popular and the use of the narrow black velvet rib bon is shown on another style of hat in fancy straw. SARAH DAVIDSON

BOAT TowBD BY KITES.
Recent suecessful Experiment. on the River MsseIle in
 France.

Since the kite has entered into the domain of science, it has been greatly perfected. The aim has been to give it considerable ascensional force and great stability, so that it may be used to carry into the air apparatus used in meteorology and photography without fear of disastrous fall. But hitherto little has been done to utilize its force of tradition, which may be considerable if it is given sufficient height. Recently, however, says Cos mos, experiments in this direction have been made on the Moselle by a man who, having flown Malay kite two meters (six and one-ha1f feet) in length, caused 1t to tow against somewhat swift current boat hold ing six persons. The wind was quite strong, and it was very easy to 1n- crease the force of traction by flying several kites. Those of the Hargrave system would, perhaps, be the best since one of this kind having a height of 1.4 meters -four and one-half feet) can scarcely be held by two men, when enough cord has been paid out. The retaining cable must possess great strength, especially if 1t IS to hold several kites, or the tractive force may rupture it.
 It is evident that in this original mode of locomotion the direction of the wind plays an important part, for if the angle that it makes with the watercourse exceeds 45 or 50 degrees, the boat is hard to steer, and moves slowly. Nevertheless this method or seeking a continuous current of air at a certain height is of the greatest simplicity. If it is not used, the req son is doubtless that it has been thought that not enough force would be developed by it. Still. the results already obtained are interesting.

A TEMPORARY CRoEsUS.
rostmaster Who Experienced the De- IightfuI Sensation for Q Few
 Seconds.

n. T. Canfield, postmaster of WI chita Falls, Tex, visited the sub treasury, and had the delightful sen sation of being millionaire if only for a minute, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. he was allowed to handle money. to the extent of s1, 900 900, place it in his pocket, and walk about the inside portion of the subtreasurer's office.
 "I'm nearly 50 years old" said Mir. Garfield. "I have been handling money of my own, the governments, and other persons for nearly half century, but never had as much money in my possession before at one time, and never expect to have that much again. The sensation of being a millionaire, if only for min ute, is peculiar. I, of course, swelled up immediately, but only for sec ond. When a person sees and han dies million or more of money in such small packages as l did there is no reason in the world why he shouldn't be conceited. This condi- ton in my case, however, was short lived, and the next minute I felt just like a torn two-dollar bill that had been knocked about the country for ages-that was, of course, when they took the huge amount of money away from me. I will go back to Wichita Falls now and handle post age stamps"

on in novel manner from the hem of the skirt to the waist line, being in large, irregular scallops running up and down. The bodice had a square decollete, with white mousseline de soie draped across the front and over the shoulders. The bodice was made slightly full, and was trimmed in the same manner as the skirt There was a narrow sash, with long loops and ends, of the white mousseline de soie.
 Another that was more dainty and not so striking was made of pure white muslin. trimmed with applique of green satin leaves. The bodice was a low decollete bordered with the ap- plique trimming of leaves, this extend ing over the shoulders, and with a large bunch at the left side. The bodice was finely tucked and slightly bloused in front and back. The skirt was made plain to just above the knees, where a deep shaded dounce was tucked, and again left loose at about ten inches from the bottom. Tkere was a finish above and below the tucking of the applique trimming of leaves.
 A very elaborate bodice that saw at the same time is one of the notable novelties that ne have all seen much
