LOCKER ON In IOWA
Observation-Disclosures

Eldora, Oct. 12.-On previous trip
thru Hardin county, al this point the
writer was disposed to belittle the in
dependent political movement in the
county, but at Iowa Fails he received
impressions that there was something
in ii. Today. four months later, all
will agree with the writer that bat
tie royal is in progress and the result
no man can predict with any degree of
certainty. Never was there a political
fight more complex, where issues are
more thoroughly mixed and candidates
so hopelessly involved. First, there's
the straight republican ticket; second,
there's the Independent ticket with
both republican and democratic names
on IT: and third. straight democratic
ticket has been made, as we'll as
straight prohibition ticket 1t is adj
mitted the two latter tickets will have
but few votes, but just the same those
few votes may be the balance of power
to upset the best laid plans of mice
and men" To an outsider some things
come to view which may be of inter-
est. and they are given here without.
bias or personal sympathy.
First there is the generally expressed
opinion that Supervisor Gtranner is
doomed to defeat, one straight repub-
lican in Union telling the LOCKER On
that with his name (Granner's) off the
ticket II would mean 500 more votes for
the straight republican ticket.

EXPERIMENT IN GRAMMAR.
But the Rules Did Not Always Work
 and Results Were Astonishing. ,

Her little niece has been visiting them lately. and the queer ways she has of expressing herself keep the fam lily amused whenever Bessie is about.
 One funny little trick of hers is to ask for anything she wants in the plural. This habit is especially notice able at the table. She will ask for forks, " "chops, ' "beefsteaks," and the like, when it is only one thing she wants.
 At dinner the other night her mother said: Bessie, don't ask for rolls; you want only one at a time. Say Please give me a roll "
 Yes, mamma" said Bessie dutifully.
 But quite soon came the request. Please may have some more bis s- cuits?''
 A biscuit" her mother corrected.
 Bessie repeated the word. carefully. And after that she got on swimmingly, for she was trying her little best to re- member.
 When the cheese was passed her eyes frightened. She loves it dearly, but is not often allowed to have it. She hesitated an instant, and then leaned anXiously forward to her mother and said, in her soft, coaxing little voice:
 Mamma, will you please give me q chee?''
 And she got some.

JAPANESE DOCTORS SIGNS.

The June number of Man contains an article on two Japanese boku-to, or emblems of the medical profession. These objects were wooden swords worn by medical practitioners in Japan before the revolution of the last cen tury which displaced so many of the old customs of the countrqy. A man Of rank was formerly entitled in Japan, as elsewhere, to wear sword; indeed, in Japan he was entitled to wear two swords. The retainers of a Daimio or feudal lord also wore swords. The medical mems swords were generally of a somewhat fanciful description and were made in many forms: some con tained lancets, others contained knives for cutting herbs, but the majority were quite plain.
 One of the objects now described and figured is in the shape of large bean pod. Its bean-like curvature approx imates to that of d Japanese sword. It is 1112 inches in length and of a nearly uniform circumference of Az inches CT whereabouts. It is made of some fairly hard wood, which takes d polish, and it. is carved to indicate seven seeds in side. Wrapped around it is a silken cord, by which it was attached to the girdle. Together with this cord it weighs six and three-quarter ounces avoirdupois. On the side there are rep resented in lacquer a grasshopper and another large insect. On the other side are similarly represented d wasp, a small fly somewhat like the common house fly, and apparently a small bee tie.
 The other boku-to is more interest ing. It is a rough piece of willow, Is inches long and broader at the bottom than the top. Japanese characters meaning Spider-boat have been deeply cut upon it. At a distance of Sia inches from the top it is pierced with a hole an inch and a half long, which has been utilized to attach a fiat cord or tape and toggle for convenience of holding it in the girdle. The cord is of pale red color, now a little faded. The boku-to, cord and toggle weigh to- gether under four and a half ounces avoirdupois. The two specimens now described were bought at Atami in Ja- pan a few months ago.-Lancet.

A PIGEON FROM ASIA?

Has q carrier pigeon the endurance to fly from Asiatic waters to Salt Lake City? This is the problem that was presented to Salt Lake City experts re- gently. Mrs. Kate Wiley was aroused by hearing a tapping on her door. The noise ceased for a moment and then was renewed. When Mrs. Wiley inves- tigated she found a carrier pigeon lying on the threshold tapping st the door with his bill The bird had been seen a few minutes before falling exhausted in the air. Mrs. Wiley examined the carrier and found a gold ring on one of its legs. On the ring was inscribed: U. H. K. Jr.. H. M. s. Alliance" No. s is also engraved on the ring. Under the carriers wings salt was caked. Its feathers also were dotted with harden ed brine or spray. The English war ship Alliance now is in Asiatic waters. -Kansas City Journal.

A TRIPLE YALE VICTORY.
The Triumph of the Blue From a
 Crimson" Point of View.

It was a blue day at New London Saturday, and Yale won all the three races, the varsity four and eight-oared contests and the freshman eight-oared event. In every one of these matches the Yale crews were plainly superior to their Harvard rivals. As the time for the varsity race shows-it was the second fastest ever made in a Yale Harvard match, and only 4-5 seconds from the record-the conditions were favorable for rowing-in fact, they were almost perfect. Yale made the four miles in 20 minutes 19 4-5 seconds, while Harvard covered the distance in 20 minutes 29 3-5 seconds. If the tables published in the official programme are correct, this was the fastest time ever made by a Harvard crew in a race with Yale, and yet the sons of Eli went just al little faster
 Why? That is the question that all Harvard men must ask themselves. Harvard has more men from whom to pick her crew than has Yale. More men are interested in rowing at Cam bridge than at New Haven, and yet in the last fifteen races between the var sity eights Harvard has won but twice. Admittedly this year the Yale men were a trifie older and heavier than their rivals, but there must have been years when the difference ran the other way. How, then, are Yale's victories to be accounted for. and what must Harvard do in order to win her fair share of the races? Is not the differ ence largely to be explained by the methods of coaching and training the two college crews?. Harvard is without the services of a professional coach. Her men are taught to row by anna teurS who have gained most of their knowledge in Harvard boats. On the other hand, Yale has professional coach, and a remarkably good one. Must not this fact be taken into con- sideration in explaining many of Yale's victories on the river at New London .? We think so, and this is an opinion held by many Harvard supporters, who can see but little difference in employ ing professional coaches for the base ball team and for the crew.
 Cornell. Columbia, Pennsylvania Wisconsin and other colleges where rowing is made a feature follow the Yale plan and employ professional oarsmen to coach the college crews. Harvard depends on amateurs alone. and her crews, therefore, are somewhat handicapped. It is very far from our intention in saying this to criticise the Harvard coaches of the present year, They developed a fine crew, one that made the best time ever recorded for d Harvard shell in a race with Yale, but not quite good enough to win. It is not these coaches, but the system We crit icise. If there are to be boat races. why not try to win them by every fair and legitimate means? If Yale is help ed to victory by her professional coach, and we think almost every one will agree that she is. why is not the experi- ment worth the trying at Cambridge For our part, we believe that it would be, nor do we think that the change would be as detrimental to the sport at Harvard as some college men seem to fear.-Boston Herald.

his attacks in congress upon a certain journal, was challenged by the editor of the same through a third person named Graves. The old man properly refused to consider the impertinent note, whereupon Graves espoused the cause of the editor upon purely techni- cal grounds, and forced the matter to an issue. Cilley, too proud to again refuse, at last agreed to rifles at eighty yards. The first shots were fired and both stood uninjured, but Graves still insisted. and at the fourth shot the old man dropped with a rifle ball in his heart.

IRRIGATION IN KANSAS
First Work To Be Undertaken There
 By The Government

The first government irrigation ex- der the new law will probably be at q point in Thomas county. A movement by the people of that county at the session of the legislature in Topeka this week has resulted in a petition be- ing signed by all the state afficers, and every member of the legislature, ask ing that the work be done near Colby on quarter section of land that has been hOmesteaded, but the filing upon which will be relinquished by the homesteader in favor of the govern ment. The land is the southwest quar- ter of section in township 9. range 34.
 ''The matter is in the hands of Con- gressman Reeder.' said G. Werner. yesterday, "and We have his assur- ance that the work will be begun at once. It is the intention of the gov ernment to sink a drilled we'll there to a depth sufficient to secure flowing water. Then other wells will be~put down in the immediate vicinity and a storage basin constructed for retaining the water. The site selected for the experiment is in every way the best that could be found in the state. The expense of building a reservoir that will contain sufficient water to irrigate many hundred acres of land will be very slight, owing to the lay of the land.
 We believe the first government ir- r1gation experiment in the state of Kansas will be a grand success. It has been long known that the flow of water from artesian wells there is practically inexhaustible and the work is a simple proposition. Thomas county has made strong hustle for the irrigation plant and have had no opposition. It is ir the section of the state best adapted to Irrigation and the result of the ex- pertinent there will solve the problem or artesfan wells for irrigation pur- poses in Kansas. ."-Kansas City Jour nal.

LAST PEANUT IN THE BAG.
Thirty-Third Degree Baseball Fan ir
 a Philosophic Mood.


 Il wonder why it is" Wistfully unused the thirty-third degree baseball fan, as he wriggled around on the bleachers with a diSgusted look on his face, that out Of a whole bagful of peanuts, the only rotten one is the very last peanut in the bag? Isn't there something welrdly devilish about that? And yet I've been noticing it for good many years Seems to me that it goes a. whole long distance toward proving that theory of the, scientific sharps about the preponderance of evil over good. Say, for instance, that there are hundred peanuts in the bag The chances are consequently ninety-nine to one that you'll get hold Of the one bum peanut before reaching the very last one in the bag; that is,, if my arithemetic isn't on the punk But it's always on the bottom of the bag, all the same. And yet, when you've put up money, how many times do you ever Win out in playing a 99 to l shot or a long shct at only about a fifth of those odds? But the bum peanut is always On the bottom, just as the one doubtful gamey raw oyster out of the whole plate O raw is always the very last one that you get on your fork. You bite into that final peanut, and you find it high and spit it out, but not before it's left a taste in your mouth like a motorman's glove. Never knew it to fail. Wonder if the pea nut vendors know the bum peanut from the outside looks of it. and put the rank one at the bottom of the bag so that the duck who gets hold of it will have to stake himself to a bottle of pop or sarsapar- fila or glass of lemonade, to take the taste out Of his mouth? Who knows but what the peanut man frames the thing up so's to boost along the game of the soft drinks n?'-Washington Post.

MINISTER BOWEN'S RELATED DE
 CREE

Minister Bowen,I A M., of Yale, of Venezuela and of the United States oE America, is another of that long pro- cession of young men who are honored by their colleges after having lost their degrees in regular course on account of a youthful indiscretion. Whether MT. Bowen would ever have achieved the distinction he has but for the fact that he threw snowball at a college pro- fessor's hat and thus forfeited his claim to the degree of bachelor of arts several years ago is open to question. It not infrequently happens, however, that these frisky students turn out excep- tionally we'll in their subsequent careers and thus enable the colleges to make up for any errors and omissions on their part. It is a gracious and alto gether lovely proceeding.-Boston Her ald
