Richmond were to let such an organ
ization as this appear before any
thing but a packed house it would
not be at all to the credit of Rich
mond. The fact that it is going 10
be crowded, as show by the plat at
the Westcott is evidence that we
know good thing musicallv aud are
going to hear it. The rush for seats
from the country about Us is
also large Centerville. Cambridge

sent in for seats ard lots of them
So we advise those in Richmond who
have not already attended TO it, not
to put off the selection OF seats too
long The Cincinnati papers are
full OF portraits of the ompany and
The Commercial Tribune says
of them: Cincinnati has roa-
son to feel proud OF Miss
Rose Cecilia Shay, who, this
season, has scored such a notable
success at the head OF her own EGG
fish Grand Opera company. Miss
Shay is graduate of the Cincinnati
college of music. After com pleting
her musical studies in this city she
went abroad. where she placed her
self under some of the great masters.
her season so far has been of the
nature of a triumphal tour, for
everywhere the most fulsome praise
has been lavished on her for her re-
markable voice as well as her
ability in bringing out the
possibilities in such characters as

sensational and adverse to public

President Roosevelt is bronco-buster
or the master of horses; therefore he
must be the Man on Horseback that
We have so long dreaded.

Watterson and Mr.. Roosevelt should
not be the best of friends. They are
stalwart men, representatives of the
race, honest, bold in utterance as well
as in action. Mr. Watterson is devoted
to the star-eyed goddess, but this
should not distract him from the
President who has no doubt a pleasant
place for him at the same presidential
table where Booker Washington sat

WANTEp-A MAN.

Ottumwa presents the best oppor-
tunity in the west as location for
wagon factory. In addition to the
city's recognized railway facilities,
Ottumwa has in the Dain and Janney
plants, two agricultural implement
manufactures who are bringing to
this city a class of trade from all
parts of the country, which in almost
all cases deals in wagons as well as
agricultural implements. So far as
raw material is concerned, there is
no better location in the west for
wagon factory than Ottumwa. In con-
nection with the two factories above
named, the opportunity for shipping
wagons in less than car load lots at
the car load rate, is very unusual, and
would of itself, produce large ele-
ment of profit in the business. There
is capital in Ottumwa that would be
glad to invest in an enterprise of this
character and the one thing now need
ed is practical and capable man who
is thoroughly acquainted with the
wagon business. Such a man, pos
sessing small amount of capital, viii
find in Ottumwa most unusual ant
exceedingly desirable opportunity TO
establishing a manufacturing plant 0
this character.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Walter L. Lane, who has been city
editor Of the Courier for over a year,
has accepted the position of advertis-
ing manager of the Muscatine Journal

day. Mr.. Lane has developed spe-
cial aptitude for newspaper work, is
tireless worker and possesses the es-
sential qualities that go to make up
first class newspaper man. Mr.. Lanes
new position is a distinct promotion
to responsible place on one of the
| Lee Syndicate papers and is a recog'
milton of the splendid abilities which
he has exhibited as city editor of the
Courier He is one of the Courier men
who has demonstrated that he can do
things" and We predict for him entire
success in the highly important posi-
Ition of advertising manager. We know
Mr. Lane thoroughly and we commend
him most heartily to the business pub
| lie of Muscatine He is eminently de
serving, and it is with sincere regret
that the Courier parts with his ser
vices.
w. H. Powell, who has been fol
some time assistant city editor of thu
Courier, succeeds Mr.. Lane as city ed
itor of this paper. Mr. Powell, like al
of the Couriers successful young men
is the possessor of tireless energy ant

to do things" which renders his pre-
: motion eminently deserved.

MEN IN WoMEN's CLUBS.

The Chicago Woman's club is SER
iously debating the question as to the
admission of men into the charmed
circle. Mrs. Matz, president of the
club. believes women's clubs could do
better work if the membership includ-
ed men. This is most starting inno-
walton. 1t is not stated what will be
the qualifications of the man appli-
cant, but it is supposed that he must
be well behaved and to be as much
Like a woman as man can be.
The women of Chicago will grant
too much if they admit men as mem
bers. Those who will seek admission
will be those who will lack the stall
wart qualities that recommend then
to women in every day life and bust
ness. The male seekers after honors
in women's clubs will be effete or i'm
beetle. The women have noble worl
of their own to do, but that worl
cannot be done with the aid of sucl
men as will seek to disguise them
selves.

KENDALL is NOT A CANDIDATE.

1t is announced that Hon. N. e. Ken
dali, of Abba, will not be candidate
for congress in the Sixth district
against Hon. John T. Lacey. Mr.. Ken
dali has been mentioned as possible
candidate for some months, but he has
been thinking the matter over carefully
and has finally decided that he will
not be candidate. Mr.. Ken
dall's announcement will simplify the
situation in the sixth district. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Lacey will have no
opposition and he may be renominated
by reclamation. 1t is certainly due to
him that he should receive this honor;
he has won the sixth district to the
republican party through his splendid
organizing abilities and his campaign
enterprise. The old soldiers of the
district will be specially complimentet
in this concession to their earnest de
sires. Mr.. Lacey is representative
OF the highest type of the soldier, al
well as an upright citizen.

they are strong and healthy. but as
they abuse themselves they are not as
general thing long lived. In trouble
they are helpless. They lack conf
dence in themselves and are not in
genious in finding eXpedients. They
are not the petty chicken thieves paint
| ed at the north. They are not bold,
neither ARE they cunning enough to be
successful thieves. They are not ply
sically brave with the odds all against
them, more than are the members of
other races, but are desperately SO at
evens. Very few of them appear ca
pable of deep emotion; SORROW over
the dead dies with the sun, resentment
passes with the night;o gratitude and
| local attachment they know nothing.
Yet they are often faithful servants,
and in advancing years seemingly
much attached to those whom they
have served. This may be from long
habit and may be more apparent than
real The young children seem bright
but progress ceases at an early age.
They appear to have little intellectual
and little moral capacity Few ever
care to ask the real reasons for things.
Superstitution answers most questions
to their satisfaction. Their notions of
: the marriage relations are too vague
to have much influence on the conduct
= of either sex.

BoERs ARE&NoT SORRY. :
Death of Cecil Rhodes Looked Upon
as the Removal of an Enemy.

London, March 2S.i Representa-
tives of the Beers now in London say
the death of Cecil Rhodes has marked
the passing of their most deadly en-
envy. They hold that as far as the
burghers were concerned he was at
all times devoid of either justice or
mercy. In giving their views a former
official of the Transvaal said:
THE absorbing vision of his career
was the map of Africa painted red
While he did not worship diamonds
and gold for their own sake, he de-
vastated principle in order to get
them, and thereby further his project
to place every rood of ground in South
Africa under the Union Jack. His
death will strike every Boer in the
world as good omen for the distress
ed republics and will encourage the
burghers in the field and their repre-
sentatives abroad, who see the hand
of providence in the fall of their his.

SENATOR poLLlvER's SPEECH.

Senator Dolllver in his notable
speech made March &c, on the oleomar-
garine bill compressed world OF ar
gument in the sentence declaring that
1.-THE oleomargarine industry had put
itself in partnership with lawlessness
and false pretenses." He called at
tention to the fact that oleomargarlne
makers and some of the dealers in the
product were constantly evading the
law of 1856 which provides that every
package of the stuff should be stamp
ed plainly. In proof of his statement
that the law is evaded he exhibited a
package. of oleomargarine, which he
had purchased from a famous butter
dealer in Chicago. He said the pack
age was marked but it would tax any
mans ingenuity to find the mark; he
then handed the package to Senator
Tillman, and challenged him to find
the mark required by law. Mr.. Till
man failed to find the imprint. Mr.
uolliver pointed it out, printed in fine
type in a corner of the wrapper.
The intent was evidently to concea
the imprint and yet comply with thu
law. The intent was to deceive the
purchaser and to obtain from him thu
price of pure butter for COMPOUND
that is fraudulent.
No one has any objection to the sal,
of oleomargarine under its prope
name; it is evidence of fraud, whel
the manufacturers of the stuff attemp
to sell it under the name of butter.
is fraud not only on the purchase
but on every maker of genuine butte
and Senator Dolliver is but advocatin
the interests of his Iowa constituent
in demanding that no frauds shall i
permitted that will depreciate the da
ny interest in this state.

which gets about SO per cent of the i'm
migration of the country, received 22S,-

sengers during the same period in the
preceding year. Austria-Hungary leads
in number; next is Italy, Russia comes
third with 44,70O, while Germany, Swe'

England with 5000 and Norway with
$500 were the next largest contribut
ors. 1t is notable that immigration
from Germany and Ireland has greatly

1t SENS absurd that such things are
true, and yet they are true. There are
no good roads anywhere, except
those that come by chance and the
favorable weather. Whenever rains
come the roads drop to the bottom.

this is owing to too much local gov

tricts are in the hands of citizens who
elect a road supervisor, and he be-

THE TRUE MERIDIAN.

The city Of Des Moines has recently
had occasion to find and relocate the
two stones marking the true meridian,
the north and south line, based upon
astronomical observations made on
August z, 1869, the date of the total
eclipse of the sun. These markers
we're found after considerable diff
ficulty, as they were covered with
dirt and the Register in commenting
on it says: Engineers are anxious tt
have them remain as it is Of insstim
