Opportunity Here for Good Illustrators y y x

T n all speculation that deals with Wash
ington as a future art centre, fac
i tor which must be reckoned with has
made its appearance in the form of
class of illustrations at the Corcoran Art
School. 1t is young-a mere infant of
two months-but it is a healthy infant,
growing infant, and already gaining rec
ignition.
The recognition, too, is of a material
nature. Already, some of these enthusi-
astic young Observation-Disclosures are about
fifty of them-are selling their drawings.
A few are decorating college ANIMALS,
others are doing poster work and get
ting paid for it; perhaps that is one
reason why so many students have taken
up the work in such a short length OF
time.
Art Long and Life Short.
There is nothing that brings home the
force of the old saying anent art being
long and life short to a young artist quite
so much as the reflection that, even if
he does accomplish something really good,
he has either to keep it until he has
grown grey or turn it into a Christmas
present for some friend. Art for arts

First Automobile a Shrine of Bacchus.

TEW, perhaps, are aware that the
X first automobile, considered in the
L sense of a vehicle containing
within itself powers of locomotion,
of which there is any authentic account,
was a elf-moving shrine of Bacchus.
This was the invention OF Heron of
Alexandria, who describes it in his work
on automatic mechanism. The shrine in
question was mounted upon two support
ing and two driving wheels. On the axle
OF the driving wheels was drum. about

upward through the space on one side Of
the shrine over pulleys. and was fastened
to the ring of ponderous lead weight,
which rested upon quantity of dry. fine

due to the fact that the snow is so often

mail room on the ground floor there is a
fiat, glass-covered roof, partitioned off
with planks, and on these latter are ar
ranged many palms from the Botanic
Gardens. Among these the birds disport
themselves as in tropical freedom, and
were food supplied them there is small
doubt that they would engage to remain
definitely in such comfortable quarters,
for. after the first fright at seeming cap
ture of new bird, the little creatures
seem to adapt themselves happily to their
new quarters, and only when the pangs
of hunger attack them do they make any
attempt to find their way again to the

sharpness in Photographic work to find
much to admire.

county that at present our highest
fealty is due Judge Conner-not because
it is Conner, but because he is the Con-
gresham from Crawford county
1t was in pursuance of this policy
that the republicans of Crawfor work
ed tooth and nail for the nomination
of Hon. Carl F. Kuehnle f.r State Sena
tor. They were faithful at Logan and
again at Onawa. for ballot after ballot
the Crawford county boys were true.
1t was not until Mr.. Kuehnle advised it,
that a vote was given to any other can
didate and then it was cheerfully ac
corded him that he have the vote of the
county cast practically as he wished
so that whatever prestige might be
gained by anyone, would naturally fail
to our candidate.
1t was a splendid fight and that it
was losing one was not the fault Of
any one from Crawford. We remember
that Judge Conner, although already in
Chicago, on his way, gave up his trip to
the funeral of President Mckinley in
order to attend the senatorial conyen-
tion and to aid in the carrying out of
the policy of Crawford county to stand
by the man who is under the gun.
At present the situation is exactly as
stated in our last issue. The counties
upon which Crawford county called tc
aid in the nomination of Shaw and
again in the nomination of Conner, are
now asking the aid of Crawford. There
is no reason to believe but that they
will present strong, worthy and homes,
candidates; this being true, what is the
duty of Crawford? There is no per
sonal spite against Judge Elwood OF
any other candidate, but there is an
earnest desire that Crawford shall
maintain the policy under which it ha:
gained so many brilliant victories
There ought to be no question of this
aud we believe that in spite of the
Bulletins assertion this is the policy ot
ninety-nine per cent of the republicans
/ of the county.

A TWICE A WEEK PAPER.
A LITTLE HISTORY

Just at this time when the Bulletin
through inspired editorials is trying to
dictate the republican policy in this
county, it is we'll that republicans
should look matters squarely in the
face and study for moment the his
tory of their party within the past few
years and see if some lessons cannot be
learned therefrom
Up to 1896 Crawford county cut a.
bout as small figure in State politics
as any county in the ninety-nine. 1t
was thought to be hopelessly democrat
ic, the republican leaders were divided
among themselves and there was abso-
lutely nothing doing The secession
Of the silverites in 1896 had tendency
to close up the ranks OF the faithful
and brought out the splendid abilities
of the Crawford county statesman, L.
NJ Shaw.
In the following year Mr. Shaw was
urged to become candidate for Gov
ernor and for his candidacy all the
heretofore divided factions of Craw-
ford county republicans rallied Never
was there such a campaign put up by
any county before Or since. Thousands
upon thousands of letters We're written,
every republican and many democrats
who had friends throughout the state
wrote to them urging Mr.. Shaw's nom
ination. Men travelled the State over,
going from county to county, and from
leader to leader, urging the Crawford
county man. The delegation at Cedar
Rapids worked early and late, and all
these things joined to the magnificent
personality of Leslie NJ. Shaw won the
day.
While Mr.. Shaw was Governor of
Iowa, he absolutely dictated the coulse
of republican policy in this county
We say absolutely dictated" advised
ly, not a tyranical dictation, because
every republican worke. realized that
if we wished to retain the governorship
in Crawford it was necessary and right
that Mr.. Shaw's interests should have
first consideration-not because it was
Shaw, but because it was Governor
from Crawford county Naturally, at
this time the fact that Mr.. Shaw was
governor added prestige to his business
but we. never heard of any jealously on
that account, and all worked tcge.nel
for the common good
The course of political fortuLe next
brought Mr.. Conner to the front as a
candidate for Congress Again Craw.
ford county republicans rallied in the
good old -way and by united effort q
victory was won. just as Mr.. Conner
had helped Mr.. Shaw. Mr. Shaw helped
Mr. Conner, and all the other republi
cans joined in
These years also saw an ever decreas
ing democratic majority in Crawford
and led the way to the republican vic
tory last fall when for the first time il
II years a republican candidate re
ceived plurality The removal o
Gov. Shaw to the field OF nation j poll
tics and the elevation Of Judge Conner
has naturally shifted the Relationship
of the republicans of the county
Crawford has done all it can for Gov
Shaw. He is now up and beyond an.
influence that Crawford might exert
while he needed that inhuenc
it was faithful and true, an
placed his interests above a
Sc. He recognizes this fact and h
also recognizes and specifically az
proves the present policy of a large ma
jority of the republican workers Of th

was read from General Hughes deny
ing that he had ever given orders for
the water cure and saying that ii such
a charge was made he wanted the full

Corporal Richard O'Brien, formerly

administered. He also said that Off

town. At Iloilo, he said, three officers

Lieutenant Plummer of company M
became intoxicated at a reception and
took off their coats, seized some of the
native woman and insisted upon their
dancing with them, much to the dis

| also said that at one place a woman
with two children was burned to
death in a bamboo shack when the
troops were burning the town. "Dum

There were "unwritten orders te

he had seen many prisoners and the!
