Sheffield. Feb. 20 Travelling men and
some others will be interested in know
ing that a certain dental surgery appli-
ance company insists on its Representa-
'tlves on the road being strictly up-to-
GATE. They not only have an expense
sheet, arranged to include such ex-
renses. but insist on its knights of the
grip being shaved every day. Also they
must have their shoes polished every
day. And here is another fact: they
must buy a daily paper every day and
read 1T. The referredto expense ac-
count has all of these little items
printed thereon for the traveller to fill
cut. There should be line added for
trousers creased!
DR. Morse, of E;ldora. returned last
week from an extensive trip thru Cuba.
He met and talked With Gems. Cisneros
and Gomez and many other prominent
iGubanS. The doctor thinks the former.
will yet make trouble for this country,
and i'll all of his talk about fighting the
United States he means every word of
it. Gomez is regarded nov by the ma
lives as in his second childhood and few
want him for president. Gomez him
self say $ he is not u candidate. Gomez
has much faith in the promises of the
United States to carry out the full pro-.
gram published at the beginning of the
war. The doctor says the sugar and to-
bacco trusts are stealing Cuba blind. II
Will be news TO many that things are SO
fixed that no one can get hold Of any
land unless he signs an agreement not
10 raise sugar or tobacco. The inference
is that this will raiss cane of another
kind
On good authority the Looker-On can
state that Rev. Mr.. Abrams will bring
his libel suit against the Times Repub
lican in Marshall county, not Hardin, as
reported. 'The reader will re-
member this suit viii be brought
against the T-R. for copying an article
from the Esthervillc Republican in
which decidedly uncomplimentary re-
marks We're induged In. II was re-
rrinted as an Iowa news item. and the
malice or intent Will have to be shown
lsy Mr. Abrams. But there is something
cminently appropriate in starting tins
suit in Marshall county. Here MIR.
ABRAMS character is known. His repG-
tation as Il man, as a preacher, as an
enforcer is known. His attorneys Will
have 70 use not a little eioquence 10
bring out the facts OF his career. y

Iowa or elsewhere. OF course OYER the.
state there is in many places a prejudice
against the reverend brother and his
methods, but we all know of tho old
saying, no rogue Ger felt the halter
draw with a good opirion of the law,
and Abrams Is almost 4 law unto him

MI. Abrams appointed communicative

TO his present occupation. ! will also
add more dignity 10 his plans Of bring
detectives, for a detective wearing a
badge OF the state OF Iowa will receive
more respect than "one of Abrams

Up here it's Hartman for governor
and it's Weaver for judge. Friends Of
the former say ne VIII go into the state
convention With the delegates of seven
counties behind him. There is some
Goubt about what Tom Way (and he
generally has his way) LAS to say
about one or two of these counties.
There is but little doubt that MIR. Harri-
man ranks as third in strength of the
present named or mentioned candidates,
end that he represents the farmer vote
and interest more than any other candi-
dates. His friends scout the idea that
he is the railroad candidate, and ask
what is there to show for such an as
sertion. But a curious thing is tha,
