Vulgar Fads in High Places.

There is much vulgarity in high
places, due to idleness and sensual
passions. 1t is illustrated In the
rapidity and frequency of divorces
among the rich. Recently 1t was
shown at Buffalo in the murder OF
one man and the suicide of another,
resulting from depraved social con-
dition. It has been further Illus
trated at New York by vulgar ex-
hibition of race equality, designed
not so much to show contempt for
all questions of caste as to create a
new sensation of sensnalism.
The action of Robert Hargous, one
of the smart set of New York, In
waltzing with a colorod woman,
while members of the 400, who were
his guests at party at Delmonico's
looked 90, is the most interesting
topic of conversation along Fifth
avenue. Some commend, some de-
plore, but all show interest and
wonder where the Innovation will end.
The negress, whose xinky locks
rested against the white bosom OF
Mr.. Hargous' shirt, while his arms
encircled her, is Mrs. Ada Overton
Walker, a soubrette, appearing with
a troupe of colored persons at a
Broadway theatre. She was hired
as a professional entertainer by Mr..
Hargous, who was giving a dinner
in honor of Mrs. Arthur Paget. The
dusky soubrette made an unques-
tionable chit and her turn" was
80 we'll received that Mr.. Hargous,
first securing her consent, ordered
the orchestra to play waltz.
Since the DelmonIco affair Mrs
Walker has been engaged by Mrs
George Law at the Waldorf-Astoria
and by Mrs. Paget. So we'll pleased
was Mrs. Paget that she has ar
ranged for a series Of lessons in
dancing and cake walking to bt
given by the dark-skinned enter.
talner at the Waldorf.
OF course no one cares what the
smart set may do in the way o
scoring a new piece of sensualism
but the plain people of the United
States will after awhile have n goot
deal to say of their efforts todegrad'
public sentiment. Unfortunately

many and it's name which was OBJ

of it's appropriateness, but because
it would tend to, harmonic and

BEANS AND CORN AS FUEL.

BEANS AMI COnN AO OIA'
The story circulated some time
since that the people of Indian are
burning beans for fuel because they
could not obtain coal is ridiculous
on it's face. The poorest kind of
beans are worth $1.85 bushel.
Corn is worth only As cents a
bushel, for heating purposes a
bushel of corn is worth two Of
beans. The scarcity of fuel this
winter has terminated so many
absurd stories of efforts to obtain
a substitute for coal, that the state
ments are absolutely farcical.
The shortage of fuel may prove a
blessing as the Americans for the
frst time since the settlement of the
country have learned to economize
on fuel. The statement is current

HOW SHALL WE VOTE?

lam inclined to think that this
subject has been discussed as much,
perhaps, as will be either profitable
or of sufficient interest to general
readers to warrant it's further dis
cussion. l shall therefore say in a
few words all that I have to say
further.
The thing objected to was the
position taken by some tempera nce
reformers, that one man has a right
to dictate to another how he shall
vote, and assume to question the
honesty or the motives of those
who vote different ticket from his
own. The elective franchise may
we'll be regarded as a sacred right.
Our method of voting is intended
to guard the sacredness of this
right. A man receives a ticket,
retires to a place purpos ely secluded
from observation, designates the
men he wishes elected, then silently
deposits vote known only to him.
self unless he chooses to make
known how he has voted. We can
hardly conceive of method better
suited to secure an honest vote.
With such a method we should
naturally suppose that men would
vote just as head and heart might
prompt. For myself I claim the
right to vote as honestly think is
for the best and ! am quite willing
that every other man shall have
the same right. l do not think any
the less of man because he votes

vote. have a good many friends

all over Europe that Americans are
generally the most prodigal and
wasteful in the use of fuel of any
nation in the world. A French
hotel keeper said to a friend, II
know that one of the new names on
the register must be an American,
for the first thing he ordered
after reaching the hotel was a
basket of wood" As wood in
Paris is sold by the pound one
can understand what it costs to
warm an American.
England has always had plenty of
coal, and yet it's people are never
prodigal and wasteful in the use of
fuel. America is the only nation
which burns up black diamonds as if
they were mere chips. The anthra-
cite coal strike cost the nation $142,-
100000, and yet that money may
be we'll expended if it brings
Americans to appreciate the wise
methods of France in economizing
on fuel. In France when the forests
are CLEANED for wood, every leaf is
preserved and burned and when the,
fire comes to be Ii GIFTED those dry
leaves act like finder in starting
the flames.

ORIGIN OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

VI Liz 4A4IA - ~
PARTY.
There have been many claimants
for the honor of having founded
and named the Republican party.
The fact probably is that a spon-
taneous movement for the organi-
aztion of party opposing slavery
and the domination Of the South
was in progress contemporaneously
in Wisconsin and several other of
the Northern states, and the name
Republican" occurred simultan-
eously to many as the best that
the new party could assume. 1t
was a name which had been in cre-
ditable use in this country at the
time OF Jefferson. Many writer's
of repute have asserted that the
modern Republican party first took
form and name in a convention held
in Michigan in July, 1854. Others
claim that the natal state of the
party was Pennsylvania. Maj.
A. E. Bovay, whose death at the
age of IS occurred at Santa Monica
CAL, yesterday, used to. stoutly con-
ted that the earliest Republican or
ganization ever formed was held in

Saturday forenoon, Maurice
Eikenberry had a part Of his left

the gun to the outside Of the door
Of the house where he was standing

going to shoot. In receiving the
gun he grasped hold of the muzzl e

about two miles west of Mr.. Ober-
mans, Ora slipped and his gun
which was cooked was discharged,
sending a thirty two bullet throug b

physician and he is now getting
along nicely.

has occurred to it. Last fall he fell

ed from Farmers and Taken Dr.

.. cy Name7
The following letter, written by
Prot. Holden, of the Iowa State
Agriculture College, on the subject
of, seed Corn" should be carefully
read by every farmer in the state
of Iowa.
Dear Sir
Regarding the selection of seed
corn will say that in my estima-
ton the following points are of
greatest Importance:
First: That no farmer can afford
to depend on imported seed corn for
the main part of his crop. Seed
corn imported from different latj-
tude seldom gives satisfactory results
the first two or three years even
though the seed may be the best,
which often times is not the case.
1t is we'll kown that most of the
seed corn on the market was
bought of farmers in crib lots
shelled, screened and sacked ready
for sale, little or no attention be-
ing paid to the selection, in fact
it is generally handled with the
scoop shovel and is known as the
SCOOP shovel method of selection. :"
The chances are that the farmer
has in his own crib better corn
than that which he purchases from
seeds men at four or five times the
market price. And then he runs
the additional risk that it will not
mature in his locality. !, .:-4@@',
If for any reason, my own corn
was not satisfactory for seed I
would certainly not send away for
seed corn, but purchase of some one
in the vicinity whose corn had
given good results during the past
three or four years.
It will be an excellent plan how
ever, for two or more persons in a
neighborhood to secure small
amount of some of tho standard
varieties of this and other states and
give them a good trial. In this
way it is probable that varieties will
be found which, after they have
become acclimated. will prove Of
considerable value to the commun-
ity.
Iwould recommend the purchas-
ing of seed corn only in the ear.
This enables the purchaser to see
exactly what he is getting and if it
is not satisfactory he can return 1T.
1t also enables him to throw out
any undesirable ears. The seeds
man cannot improve the corn by
Smelling it, so there is no good ex-
cuse fer him to refuse to ship in the
ear.

DIED.

Mrs. CarOllno "A. FORBES aged ~
years died at 7 q. m. Thursday
March 10th, of PHYSICAL exhaus-
ton.
. She was taken sick the second
week in February and in about a
week after was confined to her bed,
but was not considered angerous
until about week before her death,
when it was discovered that she
was suffering from a .tumor. An
operation was consented to as a
last resort, and took place Sunday.
She was in comatose condition
about three days and gradually sink
ing passed away quietly.
Calrolina A. Fiske was born on a
farm at Galena, Illinois, April "a.
1843. At the age of three years
moved to Wisconsin, after residing
there three years moved to a farm
three miles from Saltwater while
the state was a territory, and
transportation was mostly all by
team and wagon. She was married
to AEON Forbes at Saltwater in
1860 and moved to Worthington in
1878. To them was born four
children, son dying in his youth.
Mrs. James Ramage, Miss Maud
Forbes and Lee Forbes. Mr.. Forbes
died six years ago.
Mrs. Forbes was a member Of the
order of the Eastern Star of which
she was Worthy Matron for six
successive years. She was most
loyal and devoted member. She
organized the Cemetery Aid Asso-
citation and was president of the
organization since it was formed six
years ago. To this she was faith
full member and by her efforts the
excellent condition and appearance
of our cemetery is due. She took
great pride and interest in every
movement tending to the beautify-
ing or improvement of our village.
If there was any public movement
where the ladies cooperation was
desired, Mrs. Forbes was the fir t
one sought to lead the way and tho
other ladies we're always ready to
respond to her wish. Every affair
under her management was invari-
ably an unqualified success from first
to last. She was most highly e.
teemed by all and beloved by those
who came in communication with
her to any extent. She was of the
most kind and gentle disposition.
Ono of her prominent characteristics
were, she never spoke harshly or
derrogatory Of any one on any pre-
text or occasion but on the contrary
never mentioned persons name
except in the most kind manner.
She was also president of the Dis
trict Federation of Woman g Clubs.
The funeral service was held at the
residence Saturday afternoon Rev.
Wilson Aull of the Presbyterian
church officiating. The burial cere.
monies of the Eastern Star we're
held at the cemetery. There was a
profusion of flowers around and
about the casket, prominent among
which was floral pillow with the
word ''Mother'' thereon, and
beautiful floral Star from the .. E.
S. Her death is regretted and
mourned by the entire community.

ENGLISH BIRTHS DECLINING.
BE Lowest Since the RexiAtra-
tien Began

The London correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean cables month.
ago instanced from the census re-
turns the fact that England was
tending to become like France, sta
tionary in the matter of population.
and to have among its residents q
greater number of other national.
tiles than formerly.
The registrar for London has now
issued figures which tend markedly
to confirm this condition in regard
to the capital The birth rate per
1000 Of population was 90, which b
the lowest rate since the registra-
ton began. On the other hand. the
death rate was Ill per 1000, which
Is the lowest sinee 1910. It is expect
ed that the marriage rate will con.
tinue to decline. 1t was 17.6 per
1000 last year. This is ascribed to
the fact that young people who live
in comfortable apartments delay
marrying until they are able to OBJ
tain better accommodations.
