BOUGHT ON NERVE.
An Iowa Farm Hand Said to Have
Purchased Live Stock in Chi
cago without n Cent.

1t has developed that the officers
and buyers at the fat stock show held
at Chicago recently We're "taken in"
by farm hand named Maxwell, hail
ing from Melrose, in this state, and
that while he did not commit any
crime, his acts show that he has un-
exampled nerve.
The young man, without cent of
capital other than five dollars he bor-
rowed from L. d. Lemley, of Melrose,
prior to starting, made his way to
Chicago, and on going to the stock
show soon became one of the liveli-
est of bidders. 1t is reported that
he had number of choice animals
knocked down to him at fancy prices,
and that the amount of his purchases
was in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Being such lively fellow, and such
an apparent good judge of fine stock,
and, besides good financier, he was
written up in the Chicago papers and
wined and banqueted by the stock
men.
He returned to Melrose in par1ol
car, making no payments on his pur.
chases, and, of course. all sales to hin
were declared off. Maxwell could moi
keep the story to himself and it be
came public.

DREW THE PRIZE.
A Jeweier in vinton Expended One
Dollar and Secured II Mansion
In sioux City.

Bert NJ. Bills, of Vinton, well-to-
do jeweler. with one dollar expended,
won the $4,000 Pierce mansion in
Sioux City, relic of boom days, when
John Pierce, one of the prime movers
in the boom, was called mnlti-mil-
lionaire John Pierce is. supposed to
have realized about 100000 from his
scheme. Tickets weres scat tered all
over northwestern Iowa and South Da-
kota, and were given; away by big
stores with purchases Of various
amounts. About 39.o50 were sold.
The house is a magnificent struc-
ture of Bedford sandstone. with elab-
crate hardwood and mosaic floors,
Turkish baths and half a dozen other
bathrooms, billiard rooms. bathrooms
and all appointments of the very fin
est. John Pierce and his family have
of late been occupying a part of it,
but it was. finished just prior to the
crash, which almost impoverished
Pierce, and was left for years a gloomy
monument to his misfortune. Word
has not been received from Bliss as to
what he will do with his great prize.
1t would take big income to keep
the house running, aud ii is thought
he will sell it. The highest bid for it
was $4,000.

At the present moment it is the elab-
crate opera cloalrthat is in vogue, and
for these garments it would seem that
the question of expense is never consld-
cred. The materials used are of the
most costly kind. Delicate chiffons and
laces laid over the choicest satins for
the top and lined with the richest OF
brocades or cloth of gold.
One of these elaborate cloaks that
noticed few days ago was made OF
the finest pastel cloth, which was cut
loose, extending to the feet. This cloak
was bordered round the hem with APP
plique tinted lace interblended with
white caracul the pattern delicately
traced with gold, while the collar and
revers displayed a similar ornamental
ton. The sleeves of this elegant wrap
were cut quite loose, faring at the
wrist and turning back to show the
handsome lining of cloth of gold.
There are equally pretty short wraps
in the way of capes. These are also
quite as fashionable as the longer
cloaks One of these with which was
| charmed was exquisite in its makeup
and material, fitting snugly about the
shoulders, from whence it fared grace
| fully to the hem, either side being
slashed up few inches to better dis
| play the lining of white chiffon, form
ing innumerable narrow rufles owe
rose-pink satin. The top, which is al
ways secondary to the lining, was com
posed of white pompadour silk, having
delicate pink and yellow blossoms scat
tered over, and was bordered with coqu
feathers. The high collar of materia
was lined with quilted pale pink sill
bordered with coque feathers.

Fniled ito Locnte a Grnvc.

Although all efforts thus far to To-
cate the grave of Charles Shepperd, a
revolutionary hero buried near Mount
Pleasant, have been fruitless, the
search will be taken up again the COM
ing season when the weather is open
enough to warrant continued investi-
cations. The grave of tire terv, 6lnep-
perd. is said by old settlers to be on
the brow of hill or bluff overlooking
Skunk river, near the town of Rome.
Sometime ago the local G. A. R. post
took the matter up and got the rec
ords from Washington, showing Shep-
perd's burial at about the place indi-

Must Attend school.

For months it has been evident that
the Indian school at Toledo would be
a failure unless The authorities were
given power to compel the Indian chill
dren to attend. A petitionsis now in
circulation and is being signed by the.
leading men all over the country, ask
ing congress to pass an act empow-
ering the Indian agent to compel the
Indian children to patronize the
school. The government has about
$4,000 invested here in buildings, ETC.,
and has full corps of teachers en-
ployed, yet less than score OF the
children of the lama red men can be
induced to enter the school.

and Novelty
in the Mid Winter HATS

NUITE charming are the mid
~ winter millinery samples that
are being seen in Paris at the
present time, and they show quite as
much variety and novelty as did the
hats that were offered earlier in the
season. These pictured novelties are
made up of laces, flowers, feathers,
velvets, silks, golden appliques and
furs. 1 send with this letter few
illustrations of some of the best Sc
lections that | have seen.
One of these pictures shows pic
turesque affair of mauve velvet. This
has an upper brim of guipure lace
richly edged with mink, while group
of roses, shading from light to dark
mauve, lifts the brim away from the
face at the left side. The velvet
crown is high and is edged with mink.

The French Woman Does
Nor Favor Rational Dress

MYTH the trend of fashion car
w rying US backward to The days
of our grandmothers, when
frills and ruff1es and laces were in
order everywhere, when even the
modish tailor-made was thing un.
known, it seems strange to read Of
women who still persist in resisting
the popular Will and continue. TO
move in the direction of a more man,
nish attire under the caption OF ra;
tional dress.
We have but little of such agitation
in Paris; the French woman loves the
beautiful too much to attempt the
rational in dress; she would prefer to
add another ribbon rather than take
one away. and she cannot understand
the motive that prompts the women
OF other lands to advocate such a
change To the French woman So
called rational dress is.associated vii h
the peasant classes, with the woman
who follows the pillow in the field.
To this class rational dress is neces-
sary, but for herself she much pre-
fers her long-trailing skirts, her laces
and bright colored ribbons, her chit
fons and gauzes, and looks with dis
trust upon the motives of women
who can afford such things and do
not want them.
The Rational Dress league of Eng
land affords subject for such dis
cussion among the smart set of Paris,
principally because it is headed by
woman who might be society lead.

purchased an interest in the tailoring
establishment of McGarry Bros. He

AS TO THE PHILIPPINES.
still an Unsettled Subject That May
Yet Rend the Republican
Party.

If President Mckinley supposed that
the election would end opposition to
his Philippine policy, he is finding out
his mistake. Even in a republican
congress. and among the republican
members, the question is regarded as
still extremely debatable, and it is
evident that the discussion has only
just begun. In running debate in
the house of representatives few
days ago one of the most vigorous and
sensati onal speeches made was that
of Mr.. Mccall, Massachusetts, repub-
lican, in opposition to President Nc
Kinley's policy. Mr.. Mccall had pre-
viously distinguished himself by the
vigor of his opposition to the Porto
Rico tariff bill; he had assailed the
whole Philippine policy of the admin
istrat ton. and handled it without
gloves The government, Mr.. Mccall
said, should have declared at the out
set policy in the philippines similar
| to that Which we declared in Cuba.
Our system of government was mani-
testify unfit for colonial policy.
There was no community of interest
between the people of these islands
and the United States. No advocate
of retaining the Philippines had been
daring enough to maintain that they
should be part of our political sys-
favor of the principle of the Porto
Rican tariff was that if we could not
apply that principle to Porto Rico
we could not retain the Philippines.
Upon what theory, he asked. are we
to remain in that country? The mo-
| tive that had been most widely put
forth was that it was for our advan-
tage, and especially our pecuniary
advantage. In conclusion Mr.. Mccall
| said:
1.-The time has come when we can frankly
declare our purposes. Let us give those
people those assurances which our his.
| tory inspires. Let us tell them that we will
| aid them for one year, or for five, II need
| be, in setting up government OF their own.
| symbolized by their own flag. and we VIII
leave them all that is most glorious in the
| meaning of another fag-liberty independ.
ence and self-government."

democratic speakers utterances dur
ing the campaign, IN opposltlon 10
the policy and tendencies of imperial
ism; but election is past, and we shall
hear what the administration press
and spokesman have to say to sucf

So far from being settled, the Philip
pine question is likely to rend the re
publican party asunder before they
, are done with it. Already comes the
announcement that the promises made
before election, to bring home the sol
diers in the Philippines at once, will
not be kept; it is said that they are
likely to be retained there until thu
last day of their enlistment. All hope
of securing reenlistments has beer
practically abandoned. In addition t.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucus lin
in of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have rum
bling soune or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; niae
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

The practice of oiling roads to keep
the dust down was begun in California
a few years ago and is extending to sew
eral parts of that state. The dry sea-
son is so long that the idea of obtain
ing dustless roads. is naturally at
tractive to Californians, and the sue
cess that has attended the use of oil
for this purpose promises to cause its
even more general adoption.
