According to French paper there
is a man In London who possesses q
remarkable straw hat. For years past
he has followed King Edward about at
foreign watering places. and whenever
| he saw the prince of Wales, as the
king then was, drinking anything with
a straw he bounced down upon
the straw and added it to his collec-
ton. Last year this strange collector
had gathered such a bundle of straws
that he had hat made of them.

son practically wrote the Iowa plat
form adopted at the state convention
and it was endorsed by such men as

Blythe. wasn't it a little out of place

Grundy Republican.
If the editor OF the Republican will
read the Cousins speech carefully he
will find that 1t makes no reference
either directly or indirectly to the Iowa
platform or the work of the conven-
ton. 1t was an eloquent tribute 10 the

law is the exponent of republicanism
on the tariff question, and the Cousins
speech eulogized that feature of the
party creed; that was all; nothing
more, nothing less.-Indianola Herald.
From the above gentleman, who evil

perhaps we can learn what it was that
gave Nat Hubbard and the four or five
hundred republicans who were present
the impression that Cousins was
'skinning" somebody. oh! we stand

Jud Welliver's versatile Des Moines
correspondent has scooped the state on
an interesting piece of news. He has
discovered that the democratic cam
raign committee intends to use the
Cousins speech as campaign material ip
attacking the republican platform and
that Senator Trewin, of Cedar Rapids,
"poked" Cousins into committing the
deed in order to embarrass the con-
gresham and open up the way for. his
