Will Meet Varsity Basketball Team
Saturday Afternoon.
One Of the swiftest basketball games to
be played in the city this season will be
that of next Saturday afternoon between

the national championship and in the
play-off was only beaten Is to Is.
The style Of play used by this team is
original in many respects. The centers

height and because of their long reach are
uble to keep the ball in the air until a
favorable shot for the basket presents

We have searched the pages of the

late, and have utterly failed to find
where revision" should begin. No
one supposes for moment that re-
vision means any raising of present
rates-it means cutting down. AS we
are all selfish let us see where the in
terest of the Iowa man who wants
tariff reform" comes in. The people
who buy and eat beef, say cheap beef.
Very well, let us take off the tariff on
cattle from Canada and Mexico. How
would the Iowa farmers like to COM
pete with cattle raised on fifty dollar
an acre land with those raised where
grazing is free? Suppose the tariff
on leather was reduced, so as to give
us cheaper shoes and harnesses; let
hides in free from South Africa? And
if we let wheat grown in Canada in
free wouldn't flour be cheaper? So
about wooden goods. They might be
cheaper, if we had free wool from Cen
trail and South America, but where
does the Iowa farmer who raises sheep
come in? In short, where is there
an article that can be placed on the
free list or the tariff reduced upon that
it does not hit the Iowa farmer? Won't

Bridgeport, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu.
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro
duced.
1t is called Dodds Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on the
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One of the most striking Of these Is
that of Mr.. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains OF
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used There is moro virtue in them
than in any other medicine and will
always highly recommend them to all
of my friends"

Should Stand to Their Guns.

The Republican party never won a
victory so grand as that of 1896. when
the money question was defined and
made so plain that there was no
chance for a man to be Republican
and a bimetalist or double standard
a man. This year there is no chance for
a man to be a free trade Republican
unless he valves his principles. The
party will win this year anyway, but
will win much more honestly and
proudly If the platform is made for
Republicans and not to catch free
trade Democrats, a number Of whom
have been voting the Republican tick

for them to go."-Des Moines Capital.

FREAK DINNERS A FAD.
Entertainments Where Guests Cook
for Themselves.

for Themselves.
Freak dinners are a fad. An or
binary dinner has lost its charm for
some people who go out much during
the season, and now that Paris has set
its seal of approval on the Corinthian
dinner at which everyone is obliged
to cook something, New Workers and
Chicagoans will select this form of
entertainment as a aversion.
In studio few weeks ago the wife
of an artist gave one of these cook
ing parties to a dozen guests who
knew nothing of the fun in store for
them when they arrived at the house.
The studio was arranged with long
table holding a chatting dish for each
person, with some particular Wand be-
fore it ready to be cooked. Each
guest received chefs cap and apron,
and in a short time the dishes were
bubbling and simmering in a promis-
ing fashion.
When the meal was cooked it was
served by the men, who acted as the
walters. Strangely enough, the din
ner in every particular was a success.
But cooking has become such a fad
of late that it is considered quite
smart to know how to cook some par
ticular dish in a chafer. The bach
elor apartment feasts, at which the
host acts as cook, have increased the
desire for culinary knowledge, as
these occasions prove very enjoyable
to those used to more formal enter
tanning.
