Another card club has appeared

1t is as mysterious as are the comets
but never seen without the aid of tele-

by a star gazer who daily scans the
social armament for new constella-

will not reveal it or it's personnel to
others. 1t has been dubbed the c. D.

previous engagement in which case
telephones are brought into use and
another is agreed upon. Liquid re-

HIS ROYAL RICHNESS. "

II we don't fix our friend Capt. Robert Smith if he keeps on running at his Sunday night gait it won t be us. The idea of a man coming in about APO g. m., and shouting like Comanche chief in distress is. enough to raise the dead. Bob is full of business and sometimes he gets full of other things. On the oc- casion referred to he was full of Loves Young Dream" and other cadaverous songs fresh off the wires and was wasting their sweetness on the morning air" while leading the horse gently home to the livery stable. Bob is good singer and there are times for all things. He is none of your cheap-John ten-cent songsters, and he knows more songs in one minute than dig ger Indian knows in a "scalping season. We admire his singing all right but when he indulges in his incantations at time when according to Shakespeare "graveyards yawn and hell it. self breathes out contagion upon the world" it is time something was done.
 Now we don't want the people to think we have it in for Bob or for his singing. On the contrary we think he must have it in for us. We have been trying to think what we could have done to call for this tumult.
 We think Bob is long on gall and short on gratitude anyway. There is certainly no reason why a man, after seeing his best girl and being filled with that happi- ness that comes only to one who knows he's next, to awake the whole neighborhood with his nocturnal enchantment. There is time when it is considered a mortal sin to be merry. But

Sdrlly mISofaDl0 m this world
 his ecstacy will be enhanced
 fifteen-fold. But as there still are men who believe the earth is flat we must allow Bob this pri- vilege.
 Bob is a gentleman of most
 benign aspect and cheerful dis position. Last Sunday morning he was all dressed up in his new pair of socks, the first he has had this year. They are lovely black ones and fit Bob like a f1at-head Indian fits the legisla- ture of Idaho. They are all be- decked or perforated with such lovely ornaments that Bob was as proud of them as boy is of his first pair of suspenders and he just had to show them. He hired colored boy to drive him through the street la patent medicine-man style, with his feet cooked up in the air and his
 panties rolled up high enough to make a good display of his neither anatomy and at the same give an excellent peculiar demon stratiOn of his socks while the colored administrator was plying the fan. Bob went through town exclaiming: "Go way man. Aint they warm. Fan me. Turn me loose. Too sweet to live. Come and kiss me. T. don't care if I never get another pair. But say, aint they loud?" These and one hundred seventy eleven other original sayings con- stituted his numerous repertoire. Of course, everyone admired the beauties" and they may have indirectly been the cause of his Sunday night jubilee"
 Bob is heading man of high degree and holds the office of general superintendent. The rumor that dog once made two bites of Bob is not true. He is profound thinker and for tha

FOR RAIN.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
 The praying for rain craze has caused quite a little comment by the press and public throughout the country. There seem to be two extreme views on the subject: The superficial believer. who thinks that man should pray for anything and that God will send it and those who believe na- ture runs itself, and that God will not be governed by mans wishes. One man says the way to pray for rain is, Repent your national and individual sins, stop stealing and killing. Live up to our national ideals, not in order to get national blessings, but be- cause it is right and then God will see that we are abundantly supplied with all the good things needful. :" And that is what some people call argument. As for myself don't believe prayer ever brings rain. I think that the Almighty, being ali wise and omnipotent has arranged the gears of nature in such a way that it is running for the general good of humankind, and he will not change the position of any of the planets or satellites or change the running mechanism in the general arrangement of things to give us rain; While we believe in prayer we also believe in the
 intelligence of prayer" If prayer will bring rain it will bring heat or frost at our pleas ure. The people as rule want too much anyway. If all the prayers for rain had been an swered this country would have been washed off the map long ago.

IN THE FIELD OF GEOLOGY.

iowa CITY RepuDllcan.J
Prof Samuel Calvin returned this
morning from making geological sur
yey of Howard county in the northern
part of Iowa. He has been up there
for the past three or four weeks. His
works consist mostly in writing up the
reports of his survey which necessi-
tates considerable work. This survey
is made for the state and all his re-
ports are printed in bound volumes.
In connection with this he says that
the twelfth volume OF the State Geo
logical Survey reports is now being
bound and will be finished In day
or two.
Prof. Calvin expects to attend the
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science which
meets in Denver this year on the Goth
of August. But prior to this meeting
there will be an excursion consisting
of about twenty eminent geologists
thru the state of Colorado visiting
points of interest. This excursion will
last for about ten days Immediately
preceding the meeting at Denver. Prof
Calvin will join this party.
The membership of the excursion will
be composed of some of the most euli-
nent biologists of the United States:
in fact the United States Geological
Survey will have charge OF the excur-
sion and two of the members will ac-
company them to show them the spec
ial features of the-country. These two
men who have been taken from the
United States Geological Survey have
been over the ground before and will
be able to conduct the party thru the
most interesting parts. Professors
from the universities of Chicago, Wis
consin. Northwestern and Michigan
Will be In the party. The professor
did not bring back many specimens
from his recent excursion to gather
material for the S. U. /.

J
The banks report good business.
Indicating that not all the money is
being spent for high priced canned
goods and imported delicacies, in the
absence of our accustomed garden sass.
Better than this, there is large call
for money. Loans of a commercial
character are largely in excess of those
of this time last year. The rate is not
advanced, but the call for cash is much
greater than 1t has been. Men need
money in their business; the volume
of business is greater and calls for
money to swing it; the whole current of
commerce is more active than it was a
year ago. "A month hence, when the

"a THREE CoRNERED CONTEST.
[Eldora Herald.1
The senatorial convention of the
Thirty seventh district, composed Of
Hardin, Wright and Franklin counties,
will be hele at Eagle Grove on Tuesday.
August 18TH. Hardin county will be
entitled to twenty delegates in the con-
vention. In accordance with the rules
governing election IN this county the
candidate for the nomination from this
county is empowered to select the dele
cation from the republican electors.
Hence Hon. Joseph Wallace. the choice
of almost all the voters of the county
as expressed at the recent primaries.
will in a few days announce the per-
sonnet of this delegation. That Mr..
Wallace should be returned to the up
per house of the legislature for sec
ond term 1t is hardly necessary to dis
cuss. Such courtesy is almost always
extended to all public servants of low
or high degree, II they have fulfilled the
duties of the Office acceptably and we'll
and no one will say that Mr.. Wallace
did not make creditable and salts
factory record during the term he
served and which is now about expir-
ing. Hence the Hardin county delega-
ton will go to Eagle Grove on the 18th
with the hope and expectation of Sc
curing for him the nomination for an
other term. Both of the other counties
will present candidates who will be
given the support of their delegations.
"A three-cornered contest is therefore
to be expected. and the outcome OF the
Iconvention is somewhat problematical,
of course. But Hardin.county will hope
to win on the merits and claims of its
candidate.
