You can count on an Iowa man
every time The fellow who succeed,
ed in getting for publication the only
photograph of the Earl of Yarmouth
and his bride, the former dashing so
ciety woman, Miss Thaw, considered
in Gotham most notable scoop, was
Harold J. Mahin, formerly of the Mus
catine Journal.
The semi-centenrial of the Gen.
trail College, Pella, Iowa, is to be cele-
brated this year. The school was To-
Gated at Pella in 1853 by the Iowa
Baptists and DR.. E. H. Scarf was the
first president of the institution. 1t
survived hard struggles in those pio-
neer days, but of recent years the col
lege is enjoying a marked financial
prosperity.
There are half dozen murderers
in the state at the present time clam
oring for new trials or for favorable
decisions at the hands Of the supreme
court who the Des Moines Capital
says ought to be hanged. And until
few hangings take place, the Capi-
tai thinks, we may expect to continue
10 Lreathe the same atmosphere with
which we are enveloped at the present
time.
Officers of the Colored National
Emigration and Commercial associa-
ton have issued call for a national
convention of those who are interest
ed in their objects, to be held in Mont
gomery, Ala, on June "a. The object
Of the organization is to forward the
colonization of negroes in Liberia and
elsewhere, the plan at present being
to raise 100000 to buy ship as the
beginning of the movement.
The Rockford Register believes
that there is "a far larger per cent of
cases of big head and aversion to
work among the boys who quit before
their high school term is out than we
find among the college boys. If col
lege boy comes home with a swelled
head, it may be depended upon that
had he not gone to college he would
have been one of those ignorant, lazy,
smart Alecs to be found in every COM
munity."
The minute the republican cand,-
date for sheriff was announced demo
Gratis were out offering to bet that
"Bill" Cricket would be the next sher-
iff of Mahaska county. That proves
that the ring leaders of the demo-
cratic party are again going 10 sacri-
fee everything to elect the sheriff.
How long are the other party workers
willing to let their ambitions be led to
the slaughter to keep Mr.. Cricket in
office?

Iowa City Republican: A well
known Johnson county farmer inform
ed the Republican Saturday how he
obained his seed corn this year. He
had field with the corn still on the
stalks when time for plowing for corn
| came around, and while teams were
drawing the plow the corn was being
husked, and the larger ears were saw
ed for seed. He reports that fully 95
per cent of the seed was good which
average is better than the best pre-,
served seed corn. Here is a pointer
for Unole Dick Clarkson.
Sac Sun: John f. Riggs Of Sig,
Quincy has been endorsed by the re
publicans of Wapello and Mahaska
counties, and is certain to have the
support of the Sixth district in his
candidacy for the Office of superin
tendent of public instruction. Mean
while H. L. Adams, of Fayette county
is making a good start for recognition
by obtaining the endorsement Of Q
teachers association comprising five
counties in the northeast corner Of the
state. 1t is evident that Superintend
ent Barrett will have hard time over
coming the three-term rule established
by the politicians and that his nomina
ton is by no means assured.
