Nfghtcaps.

For external applicat ton the night
cap is rarely seen. 1t is first mention
ed during the time of the Tudors. In
the inventory of Henry Wills ward
robe we come across the following
item: "a nightcape of black velvet EN-
broidered" No wonder, with such
gearing, that. as Shakespeare suggests,
"Uneasy rests the head that wears d
crown Poor old Bishop Latimer was
not content with one nightcap. Fox i'll
his Book of Martyrs" describes him
as follows: "He held his hat in his
hand, having a handkerchief on his
head and upon it nightcap or tive

use, with broad flaps to button undel

AN IOWA OBJECT LESSON.
TMontezulna Republican,

In 1882 the editor of this paper re-
signed the principalship of the schools
at Lynnville in Jasper county. The
school board started out to find some
one to fill the place made vacant A
young sort of fellow from Galesburg
a settlement few miles west of Lynn
Vile. put in an appearance and sue
ceeded in convincing the board that
lie was the very fellow that they We're
looking for. He was employed, taught
few months. made a success of his
efforts and then decided to attend col
lege and finish his education. He was
an awkward country lad and there We're
some people In the old Quaker town
who thought the fellow had about all
the education that he would ever need,
not seeing anything suggestive in the
young man as to future prefernent.

ENJoINING STRIKES.

The decision of Judge Adams in dis
solving an injunction which restrained
the employees of the Wabash railroad
from going out on a strike is merely
the inevitable result of the application
Of common sense. The same problem
was presented at the time of the coal
strike last fall but in all the discus
sion of that lamentable event we failed
to hear anyone contend thatsthe miners
ought to be restrained by law from
striking. Wherever rioting and law
lessness follow a strike the injunction
of court very properly should be and
often is used in the protection.o of prop
erty and the maintenance of law and
order.
A strike of itself. however, is merely
he act of quitting ones employment
performed by many men at the same
lme, usually for the same reasons and
generally by prearranged concert of ac-
ion. So long as we pretend to

EARLIER SALOON CLOSING,

"A Dill recently introduced in the Min
Eesota legislature provides that all sa-
icons IN that state except bars in con
IL o'clock in the evening for five days
in the week. On Saturday the closing
hour is fixed at 8 o'clock. And the
tplaces are not to be again opened until
Is o'clock the following Monday morn
ling.
In commenting upon this Davenport
newspaper criticises tie bin as going
too far, expresses the opinion that sc
Isweeping a law could not be passed in
Iowa and asserts that ii should not +
enacted into law"
Perhaps familiarity with the local
conditions have blinded the Davenport
writer to the general sentiment OUT
general uprising against the mulct law
| in the interior counties, but there is
| strong sentiment which Is growing
stronger every day in favor of it's thor
ough enforcement. The, people have
accepted the mulct law as the most ex-
| pedient method of regulating the sale
Of intoxicants. They have accepted 1t
perforce for lack of the ability to en-
force more stringent legislation, but
repugnance to the traffic exists as
strongly as ever, ready to rouse to bit
terness against any attempt to extend
saloon privileges under The law. Re-
submission of the prohibitory amend
feat, would show an astonishing num-
Der of affirmative votes in inland Iowa.
There are certain cities in Iowa
where no reasonable temperance legis-
lation has as yet beer enforced and
these are notably river towns. Not
counting the respectable number of
lowans who favor the absolute prohibi-
ton of saloons there are many who ia
vor still further limitation of their
privileges to the hours of closing. Dav-
export saloons keep open until mid
highland later. but the interior cities,
whore the Jaw is enforced, find no diff
ficulty in closing saloons at 10 o'clock.
Perhaps the Minnesota bill could not
be enforced in Davenport if it became
a law. 1t would not be found seriously
difficult OF enforcement in MARSHALL
town. Marshalltown. however is in
Iowa.
There SEEMS no good reason why sa-
looms should be granted privileges out
side the law. From 5 o'clock in the
morning until 10 at night should sat
isfy the greediest dispenser of intoxi-
cants and give sufficient time to his
customers to properly befuddle them |
selves. The large majority of respecta |
Bile people are within doors by that
time Midnight saloons become ''booz-
ing kens' and rendezvous for crime.
There surely can be no Justification for
keeping saloon open when the butch
er shops have closed. II q step is TAX
en- In either direction it should be
toward earlier closing.

Ted Hinton of Goldfield was in town

Eagle Grove on the Great Western.
In speaking of that road he said he
had not been over that section of the
system for many years. When the
old Duncomb grade was made. he he'll
ped do the work. He says that work
was begun on the grade in ~ and was
completed. including the building of
bridges, when the panic of '73 came
on and the track laying had to be aban
doned for want of money. No one

A new method of forcing the growth
OF trees has been lately put to the test
of experiment in the Crin,ea, supplying
trees with the food necessary for their
growth thru the trunk thus dispensing
with the slow processes of nature,
which can only work by means of the
roots. Salts of iron, either in liquid or
solid form, have been introduced by
cutting a hole in the stem. An account
of these proceedings has been recently
read before the Imperial Botanical So
ciety of st. Petersburg. The system has
been applied to 500 fruit trees, and
photographs showed that it had quite
fulfilled the expectations.

That Is, II Mr.. Ground Hog Looked
Very Hard When He Came Out.
Today Has Been q Typical Spring Day
Bees have begun TO Swarm
Already.
OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO DATE

The preponderance Of opinion is
that this is "Ground Hog Day." the
time when the ground hog comes out,
and II he sees his shadow returns to
his hole to spend six more weeks wait
ing for winter to end.
That there is difference as to the
time, however, is cevtain. Some OF
the older residents claim that" Ground
Hog Day" is February 1, others that
It is the I'd and others that it is not
until the l4th. The time Of day rang
es from a. IN. until shutdown. Some
Of the people. however, claim that II
the sun shines at all during the day 1t
is a sure sign that winter is not brok-
en-.
A Sun representative made pretty
thorough canvass in making his rounds
and found that the prepondersnce OF
opinion is that today, February 2, is
"Ground Hog Day." A few citizens
who formerly lived in Tennessee con-
tend that yesterday was the day, while
those from Illinois claim that the
l4th is the day.
One thing, however, is certain. II
the ground hog came out today he as
suredly saw bis shadow, for il has
been a typical sunny spring day, with
overoosts discarded and fires out.
Throngs Of people were down t0wn
shopping. and few have already sue
cumbed TO spring fever
A rather unusual thing for this time
Of the year IL the swsrming Of bees.
Several reputable citizens and resi-
dents Of the county called today to re.
port that their bees were swarming,
and this Is considered a sure sign that
the winter is over, and is in direct con-
tradiotion Of the fact that the ground
hog saw his shadow which is regard
cd as equally a. sure a sign that win
ter will not be over for six weeks.
