at work cleaning the harvest for sum-
| mer drinks not only for his own houses
| but for the various railroads. which
have this as a center.The Northwestern
division uses an enormous quantity for
their refrigerator cars and the use Of
| their trains and the Central also gen.
orally gets its supply from Clear Lake
as 1T is generally the best which can
be secured in this vicinity. The cleo
trio line during the ice season is kept
busy with regular ice trains delivering
the ice to the various roads here having
connections with them all and being the
only line available for the purpose at

Clinton.
The Herald says: The city council
did the proper thing in voting to ac-
cept a $4,000 instead of a 100000 dona-
ton from Andrew Carnegie for a free
public library. All that Mr.. Carnegie
requires is that the city shall vote a
tax of $4,000 annually to maintain the
library. The committee stated to the
council that the cost of supporting e
$4,000 library would exceed the sum
of $4,000 and it was demonstrated that
the additional gift of $4,000 from Mr..
Carnegie would mean no additional ex-
pense to the city. The council unani-
mously voted to accept M. Carnegie
proposition, and thus Clinton gets a
$4,000 library.

One most entertaining bit Of history
in the body of the work is told under
the heading Iowa and describes the
wanderings Of the old press on which
were printed the first newspapers ever
issued in sundry States in the North
west The first newspaper in Iowa
was the Visitor, established at Du.
buque on May II, 1886, by John King.
Its name was changed to the Iowa
News, and the press which printed it
was removed TO Lancaster, Wis, in
1S42, where the Grant County Herald
was established, the first newspaper in
that State. The press and material
were moved again In 1S49 to st. Paul
by oX-team, and John Goodhue used
them in getting out the first issue of
the first newspaper published in Min
nesota, the st. Paul Pioneer. In 1858
the old press was taken to Sioux City
Falls, now Sioux Falls, where it was
used for the printing Of the Dacotah
Democrat, the first newspaper in either
Of the Dakotas. The press was burned
by the Indians in the uprising Of 1862.
Mr.. Mckenzie has thrown special
enthusiasm into his work, due to the
fact that he is himself a Journalist. He
served his apprenticeship in ST. Paul,
and afterward was employed as q

East and early in 1898 was appointed

Americans have not the reputation of
Europeans for gallant speeches, yet there
are many occasions when they earn the
envy of the people who are more given
to saying pretty things. At recent pri-
vate dinner at which Seth Low and his
wife were guests one of the diners said
to the new mayor:
You must be proud to be the hus
band of the first lady in New York"
Il am proud said the mayor gall
lanty as he glanced tenderly at his wife,
TO be the husband of Mrs Low"
On a similar occasion recently the
American Ambassador to the court of
ST. James paid a graceful compliment to
his wife
1t was at an informal dinner, at which
the guests were intimate friends. Some
one proposed that each in turn should
answer the question:
IF you were dead and could come
back to this world in another body, who
would you prefer to come as?
When it came to Mr.. Choate's turn, he
said Il would prefer to come as Mrs.
Choate'S second husband"
