VOW II IS DONE.

The following excerpt from Mis-
souri, paper conveys moral that is
not lost upon the shrewd business
man:
when we were publishing paper
in Mt Vernon, ILL.,, in 1872, on the
second floor, store opened in the
room under our office. The senior
proprietor came upstairs aud con-
tracted for three columns of space
for twelve months, with locals and
$500 dodgers each week He remark
ed that it was snap to get into a
town where other business men did
not advertise. The firm started out
on borrowed capital. In three years
it had money enough to start two
stores, one in Sedalia and one in St.
Louis. 1t dissolved partnerships and
each partner took field TO himself
Byron Nugent was the partner who
made the contract and is now the sem
ior member of B. Nugent & Brother,
the greatSt. Louis house. He not only
owns his store, building and gounds,
but has erected nice little cottage
home that cost him ss7 900. We must
say that some of the old mossbacks
who were in business in Mt. Vernonbe-
fore Byron Nugentev saw the place,
and who never advertised, are still
in business and grumbling about dull
trade and hard times"

Against Marriage Of Divoreee..


Cedar Rapids, Feb. 26.--People who
have been divorced will have diff
cult time to get married in Cedar
Rapids hereafter. The Ministerial
Union, consisting of all the Protest
ant ministers in the city, adopted the
following resolution:
1--WE, the members of the Minister
ial Union of Cedar Rapids, moved by
our sacred convictions to preserve,
80 far as in us lies, the indissoluble-
ness of the marriage relation, do
hereby engage that we will not Of
ficiate at the marriage of divorced
person, except in the case when we
solemnly believe such person to be
the innocent victim of marriage
which has been really dissolved on
scriptural grounds; and also except
that we may remarry those who have
been divorced from each other, and
who come to us to be reunited that
they may live together again. Further
more, in order to be true to the above
engagement, we pledge ourselves to
use all diligence, especially in the
case of those who come before us as
strangers, in ascertaining the true
facts in the case before proceeding to
the marriage ceremony

In response TO an inquiry, Mrs.

The song entitled" Iowa, Old Iowa, I"

Democratic papers habitually
state that the ship subsidy bill pro-
poses to expend s1SO, 1000, 900, and they
try to give the impression that the
lump sum is to be squandered with
out positive return. The truth is
that the bill provides for a payment
not to exceed $4,000, 900 in any one
year. 1t will take twenty years for
the expenditure of $3.50, 100000, and
it can not be made unless shipbuild-
ers earn it by the addition of modern
ships to our merchant marine.

In letter to the Marshalltown
Times Republican, T. P. Marsh calls
attention to the fact that Marshall
county is spending $4,000 year on
its roads, and objects because there
is no uniformity in the efforts being
made to improve the road system.
There are so road supervisors in the
county, but each has his own plans
in regard to what should be done
and the result is that but little is ac-
complished.

street, with as members. Work among
the men of the naval service was at
once begun. Clean beds, good
cuisine and well furnished parlors,
supplied with everything for the COM
fort of the men, were the attractions
offered. The result was a steadily
increasing patronage, until at last the
old quarters had to be torn down to
make way for the new and more COM

this new building will contain bowl
in. alleys, plunge baths, a well
equipped gymnasium, and nearly 800
