II was an Iowa man who yesterday in
Chicago permitted two slick strangers
to bunco him out of considerable money
by means Of bogus check. The
strangers met the Iowan at the depot,
Immediately became very friendly and

Of course was that the Iowan would
cash check which they had and they
would pay all the bills Of the sight

more today than he did yesterday.
PERIL OF A BUSINESS MEMS
CLUB.
lIowa City Republican,
The business men of Iowa City who .
short time ago organized the CONNER
clal Club with q great flourish Of trun-
pets, many Of them at least, are giving
evidence of early decay so far as the
club is concerned and already we hear
such expressions as II said so all the
time" "just like 1t always was" etc.
This is not q time to let UP any on the
enthusiasm which the club originally
vas vested with, and 1t is hoped that
there will be a revival Of interest before
the organization goes to pieces. There
is no excuse for a lack OF interest and
the small attendance at the last few
meetings is mighty discourasing to the
few who are always present and en-
deavor to do good.

Love.

~ Love.
Roam tine wide universe over,
Seeking for wealth or for fame,
And wrest from the earth her treasures;
Win from the old world name; .t
Ascend with the eager toilers
To hills Of achievement above
But come a-wcary Mt evening ~.
To rest on the boeom Of love. sYs
Wealth, when she 1arishcs favors,
Will claim our affection, we know;
Fame, when she deigns to smile on u
Will lead where she chooses to so.
But wealth is both tickle and fleeing
And bidcs with her loves but = day.
And fame soon finds new charmcr
And fades like a phantom away.
Fame sits on her throne. on the mountain
And bids all her votaries to climb;
Her iayors are but to be captured ~
By giving Of labor and time. ~.
Wealth floats like . butterfly gaudy
With Slittering wings just above
But constant and ever unchanging +
Awaits in the valley sweet love.

FAVORITE NUMBERS.
The Various Nations Have a Wide
Range of Preferences in
Using Figures.

That all numbers are not used with
equal frequency by the various ma
tions of the earth is clearly shown
by M. Delaunay, a French scientist,
who has devoted good deal of time
to study of this subject, says the
New York Herald.
"A marked preference" he says,
may be found almost everywhere
for the numbers 2, and 5, as we'll as
for the multiples of these numbers.
The Mohammedan countries, however,
form an exception to this rule, since
the number 3 is not used in them.
Neither in Turkey nor in Persia can
any trace of this number be found,
and there are very few places in
Egypt where the people use it. The
French and the 9th er Latin races pre-
fer the numbers and S and rarely
use the number 3, whereas, on the
other hand, the English prefer and
3 and the Germans and S.
"As for the Asiatic races, find that
the Indians are very, partial to the
number 2 and it's various multiples,
"Hi'C CAN SIluCoCs Inc Use
2 and more than any other numbers.
In France, Germany, Sweden, Norway,
India, South America and the United
States the number z is more or less
popular, but the countries in which
it is used most frequently are Russia
and the other Slovenian lands. In
fine, just as a horror of is charac-
teristic of the Turks, SO a love of is
a characteristic of the Slavs. ST.
''The higher numbers are rarely
used, though they are found occa-
sionally in certain countries, such as
II in Salvador, II in Mexico, 10 in
Spain and 81 in the Philippines. I
learned to my surprise that the in
habitants of Hawaii are very fond OF
the number 10, fact which shows
that they know nothing Of the preiu,

the entire system of the state banking
laws. Another bill provides for the
codifcation of all the laws of the
state except those relating to taxation.
It authorizes the supreme judges to
appoint a commission of three to do
the work at a salary Of $4,000 year
each, and gives them two years time
to complete it.
St. Paul, Jan. 25.-The senate ses-
sion yesterday was quite brief, only
two bill being offered. One allows the
city of Owatonna to accept bequest
of $40, 900 for a Kindergarten, the ex.
ecutors refusing to turn it over on the
ground that no one was legally au-
thorixed to receive it. It was voted to
take up the nominations sent in by
Ex-Governor Lind next Thursday, after
which the senate adjourned to 8 p. m.
Monday.

THE SAGE AND THE PEASANT
May BE Counted as One That
Holds Good.

One day as the Sage was strolling
about the country he met Peasant
who complained that his Ass was dead.
"Then you will no longer have to
feed him." replied the Sage, according
to the Boston Globe.
But my wife is also ill., continued
the Peasant.
IF that is the case, then she will
not wear out shoes so fast"
"And but two nights ago thief stole
half my corn"
THAT is also a blessing, as you will
have less to carry on your back to mar
ket."
Hear me, o Sage" said the Peasant
as he wiped away his tears, when I
say that Wolf has carried off my only
Goat"
II hear YOU" replied the wise and
venerable man, land I wonder that
you complain. The Wolf could have
taken your Calf instead OF the Goat"
"And the blight has fallen upon my
oats"
II observed that, but your wheat
never looked so we'll. AS matter of
fact, my dear man, you have nothing
whatever to complain of. On the con-
trary, you should rejoice that things
are no worse"
The Sage was about to pass on when
he struck his foot against stone and
fell heavily to the earth. >,
"Alas,' he cried, but have met with
grevious fall"
ut was "a fall certainly" said the
Peasant, "but you might have been
blown up on steamboat, you know"
81 think I have sprained my ankle"
But you might have broken your
neck instead"
Had you but warned me of the stone
l could have passed it to the left.''
''In which case you would have tum-
bled into the old we'll and been
drowned"
20, Peasant" groaned the Sage,
''hear me when I say that I am so
badly shaken I may not get out of
my hut for weeks"
II hear you," replied the Peasant,
"and wonder that you lament. The
less you get outdoors the fewer corns
you will have on your toes. Taken all
in all, you have nothing to complain of
and much to rejoice over"
Moral-Philosophy is a good thing
only when applied to the other fellow.

more business than the senate One
of the bills was anti-cigarette and for
bids the sale or giving away of cigar
cites or cigarette paper. Another bill
gives travelling libraries an appropria-
ton of $4,000.
There are two contested election
cases in the house, one being Blair
(rep.) against Mahood (dem.) from LIE
Sueur county, and Deering (dem.)
against Schurman (rep.) from Ramsey
county. The LIE Sueur county case
has been taken up actively by the
committee on elections and decision
will probably be reached the coming
week. The Ramsey county case has
not yet been reached, and may never
be very seriously considered.
After the usual routine work tho
house adjourned to 8 p. m. Monday.
st. Paul. Jan. 29.-Both houses of
the legislature held short sessions last
night. The members of the house
gathered in the hall at Z p. M, and
after Representative finland had in
troduced a bill ordering the payment
of John c. Devereux's claim of $495
against the state, adjourned to meet
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Devereaux's claim against the state
is for service rendered during the fall
of 1861, when, acting under the orders
of the then adjutant general, he per-
formed the duties of drillmaster and
teacher at the Fort Smelling military
school.
The senators were called to order at
o'clock and listened to the reports of
the judiciary and educational commit
tees and adjourned.

and the entire legislature rising and
cheering as he marched up the aisle.
He delivered an eloquent and impress
-sive speech which was greatly applaud
ed after which the joint session adj
journed.
Immediately after the adjournment
the band in the gallery played the air
Of the "Baby" song in "Wang" while
the audience sang again and again the
following verse:
Moses. Moses,
We are all for Moses.
Out they go, in he goes,
On bed of Roses
In the meantime an informal recep-
ton had been extemporized, Senator
Clapp standing at the foot of the
speakers desk and the members of the
legislature and the spectators, many
of whom were ladies, filing past him
and extending congratulations The
''Moses" song was continued during
the reception.
A telegram was read from Senator
Knute Nelson returning thanks for
his election and it's reading was greet
ed with hearty cheers.
At the regular session of the senate
two bills were introduced regulating
state banks and throwing greater
safeguards around them. Several
communications were received from
the governor announcing that he had
made the following appointments:
Dairy and Food Connissioner-W.
w. p. Mcconnell, of Blue Earth Coun-

RazeIl Card Company of Chicago,
Seek to Locate a Factory in
This City if Possible.
AFTER OLD BREWERY BUILDING
They Desire to Either Lease or Rent the.
Building for Use as card Factory
to Employ $50 Men.

F. ]. Gottfredsen, owner of the old
Gottfredsen brewery building on Mil
waukee avenue, has received a letter
from one of the managers of the Ra-
zel Card company. now located in
Chicago, stating that they would be
pleased to consider proposition to re-
move their factory to this city. The
Razell Card company is one of the two
makers of fine playing cards in the
United States, and should they locate
IN kenosha they would bring rare
industry to the city. The company
has been in business as a rival of the
United States Playing Card company
for several years and the product is
we'll established on the market. At
present the company is employing
some fifty men, but the manager stat
ed that should the factory be removed
to this city it would be the plan of the
company to enlarge so as to employ
$50 men and double their output.
The company is not in any way seek
ing any proposition OF bonus, but is
looking for new location and the
GAS elAN "AA4ADS OAll4SI W OAN VI
to lease the old brewery buildings.
Mr.. Gottfredsen will at once communi-
cate with the company and it is thought
possible that they may be located in
Kenosha. While the present owner of
the buildings is anxious to dispose of
them if such splendid industry as the
Razel1 company seeks location, the
buildings would be leased, giving the
lessee privilege of a purchase after a
term of years.
Several other companies have been
dickering with Mr.. Gottfredsen in re-
gard to the renting of the building, but
as yet no deal has been closed.
1t is evident from the demand that
has been shown for the Gottfredsen
buildings that Kenosha is regarded as
splendid town for manufacturers and
it is expected that several factories
will be located here within short time.

ORDINARILY it is small matter for
a nation like England to borrow
$500, 1000, 900, but nevertheless the fact
that Great Britain has been compelled
to seek loans in New York has fur
nished her with peep into possibili-
ties that is not altogether encourag-
ing. England could carry the small
debt without feeling it perceptib1y, all
things else being equal, and the eager
ness With which her securities were
gobbled up throughout the world is
evidence that her credit is the best.
But Notwithstanding all this, the stu
alton is not pleasant one for the EN-
press Of the Seas. The debt comes as
an evidence that England's expendi-
lures are outgrowing her resources,
just at time whens those resources
are themselves Ebeing seriously threat
ened. The remarkable progress of
other nations in industrial and COM
mercia1 lines during the last decade
of the nineteenth century has dis
tressed England. Her motto to keep
in the lead and to maintain navy at
least as large as any other two powers
has taxed her in the extreme since
Russia and Germany and the United
States have been making such tremen-
dous strides toward leadership. And
the fact that the increased taxation
necessary to maintain British suprem-
acy has come just when the energy
and enterprise of the United States
and GermanyIespecia1ly are materially
affecting the markets of Great Britain
throws a significant and not by any
means encouraging light upon the
situation for the English people.

AN OPULENT BEGGAR.
Italian Beggar is Arrested and When
Searched officers Found Nearly SEQ.

An opu1ent beggar is occupying a
cell at the county jail awaiting hear
ing on a charge of begging on the
streets. The man gives his name as
Basilio Rosetti and is an Italian by
birth. He had been working in Keno
sha for some time and last night he
was pursuing his trade with little too
much greed on the north side and the
attention of Officer Fe1dschau was
called to him. The officer at once
placed arrested him and he was taken
to the county jail. He made vigor-
Gus protest to being searched and
when the officers finally searched him
they discovered over fifty dollars in
small change on his person. The man
had evidently made a success of his
business and had been quite careful to
secrete the money where it could not
be found. Tied in rags about his legs
were large amounts of small change.
He has been in Kenosha for several
weeks, and the officers believe that
the sum found on him when arrested
represents only small portion of his
savings from the work. He has been
making an appeal to the people claim
ing that his family had met with all
sorts of misfortunes, resulting in the
death of number of members of the
family. He claimed that he was not
able to speak the English language,
but he managed to get along without
this knowledge.
The police are making an effort to
End out something in regard to the
man, and for this season he will prob
ably be held for several days on a
charge of disorder1y conduct.

TO BE HEARD MAY "a.
Case of State VS.. Lonergan to Come Up in
Supreme Court at That Time.

Attorney ]. c. Slater, of this city,
has been notified that the supreme
court of the state will take up the case
of James Lonergan VS.. The State of
Wisconsin on May oath. Lonergan
was convicted of murder year ago in
the circuit court at Fond du Lac. The
conviction was secured almost entirely
on circumstantia1 evidence, and ever
since the convicted man was sent to
prison his friends in Kenosha have
been seeking to have the case heard in
the supreme court.
The attorneys for Lonergan have
made strong case in his favor and
they declare that when the case is
heard by the superior court the con-
victed man will secure his liberty.
Special interest is being taken in the
outcome of the case among the people
of this city, on account of the fact that
he did not desire to bring any disgrace
on his family, who are residents of
this city.
