Grinnell. April 22--Considerabe hard
work is being done to secure names to
the remonstrance against the petition
for a. relocation of the county seat in
spite of the fact that results are small
and that the general sentiment OF the
county at large is so strongly in favor
of giving the people. q chance to fairly
decide the matter at the polls. Tie OPP
position confines itself largely to
statements of the immense cost OF
building a new court house and the
consequent increase in individual 0axes,
and. further, to the statement tha1 the
present court HOUSE, will answer all
purposes for. the next twenty-five years.
Such statements as have been male re-
garding the cost of court houses in the

stimulated the county seat committee
here to obtain authoritative figures
from these places as, well as the actual
conditions creating the expenditure.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. April PA storm has APP
peared in the democratic camp OF Du-
buque county and the tide is anything
but certain. Where the Hearst forces
had no opposition faction opposed TO
instruction has arisen as IL in one
night and the fight for the control Is
being waxed.
A few weeks ago there was nothing
but Hearst. In every part of the city
1t was Hearst. Apparently the boom
OF the editor-c congressman struck the
place and captlvated all. Clubs were
organized and the opposition forces
failed to come in sight The selection
of delegation to go instructed FOL
Hearst was virtually taken as matter
of form by many OF the leading demo-
Gratis. In the midst of the enjoyment
of their easily acquired fortune, the
Hearst followers were suddenly at
tackled. not from the rear, but out and
out by leading politicians and the
conservative fiction.
When the county convention meets
Saturday afternoon the contest will
be carried to the floor and lively time
Is expected. Neither force is claiming
much, and both are preparing for the
final struggle.
There Is no contest over the dele
gates. 1t is question whether the
delegates will go instructed to vote
for William Randolph Hearst or
whether they will go uninstructed. The
unanimous choic OF the democrats for
delegate at-large is D. D. Myers, one
of the best kno gn democrats and bust
ness men In this part of the state.

Waterloo, April 22.--Prominent far
mers in the vicinity of Waterloo are
now anxiously awaiting the return of
contracts they signed with supposed
stock food men as notes for amounts
upwards of a hundred dollars. Several

signed, despite notices OF similar tricks.
Now one contract has shown UP as
note and that others will there is little
doubt The farmers are saying little,
but are taking the punishment for their
foolishness.

HOW TO WASH FLANNELS
Few Hopsewives Know How to do It,
Although It Is Task That
Is Easily Mastered.

Flannel underwear is warm and COM
Portable, but if we do not wish to find
the suit that was purchased for the
father shrunken to the proper size for
the son after few washings. we must
see that the work is done properly.
When the soiled garments are gath
cred together, look them over. darning
the tiny breaks and replacing missing
buttons. Shave a bar of white soap
thin, put in a pan with water enough
to cover, and set it on the fire to melt.
Yellow soap should not be used, as 1t
contains resin, which hardens the wool.
Have an abundance of salt, hot water
in which powdered borax has been dis
solved, using a quarter of pound to
boilerful, and have everything in read
mess before you begin. Fill a small
tub half full of water and pour enough
of the melted soap in it to make a strong,
foamy suds Stir it we'll, and after shak-
ing the clothes to remove the dust put
them in. Rub and press them lightly
between the hands, then fold each piece
and press it through the wringer into
suds prepared like the first. After wash
ing through this, rinse well and hang
up to dry. Never rub soap directly upon
flannel. Keep the water the same tenn
perature throughout the process, and do
the work quickly. White flannels do
not turn yellow if borax is put in the
water in which they are washed, and it
cleanses them quickly. Take them from
the line and press before they are quite
dry.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

FOOD AND SIZE OF COWS.
Some Valuable Thoughts on an I'm
portant Subject Furnished by
British Dairyman.

Good and persistent milking produces
mixers and the development of milking
qualities, whereas on the contrary If
irregularity and neglect is practiced the
talents which would develop with use
will naturally disappear, even what
there is. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that dairy COWS all belong to one
breed says Robert Pethridge. They
vary from the Small Kerry Of Ireland,
the Jersey and Guernsey of the Channel
islands, the hardy Ayrshire of Scotland.
the dual-purpose Shorthorn and Devon
of the west of England, to the Red Polled
Norfolk of the east of England and 9TH
ers, all of which with selection and de-
velopment produce magnificent dairy
cows. 1t is the character of the food
more than anything else that determines
the size. AS we know, in those districts
which do not produce rich and abundant
grasses you will not find large COWS, and
in those districts which do produce the
necessary constituents for growth and
milk producing, in few years small
bred animal will become the parent of
large type, and with continuous milking
will furnish many good mixers. Select
and test your cows and use bull from
a family which has milk record, and re-
member that your bull is half your herd.

The next morning PEBBLES went down
to the wharf early, but he did not sue

about an hour later and I'll tell you a.
what price you got in"
An hour later he returned.

already.
He hunted up Lanyard, who laughed
at him. Whats a half cent?" he asked
you can't hit the exact bottom. It'll
come out all right, rest easy"
The balance of the week wheat wob.
bled between s61s and 81, causing hope
and despair to PEBBLES, but on the fol-
lowing Tuesday he opened the paper
to be confronted with this item OF
news:
big slump in wheat. Government
report Unexpectedly favorable. Septem-
Der wheat drops six cents and closes at
go"
He felt the blood dry in his veins.
Hatless he rushed from the house to
Lanyard's.
That gentleman looked like a West
India island after a hurricane
awful, isn't it," he muttered, "I'm
teetotally busted. I'm sorry l met you,

before"

how. came near drowning
twice and l won't try that way. I
saw a man die of pizen once and that
sickens me Of that, and I'm sure l
couldn't hit myself with a pistol"
1t was horrible day and sleepless
night for PEBBLES. All was lost and
Simms would never forgive him for not
paying his debts with the loan. He
would record the mortgage and drive
his wife to despair.
He skunk out of his house in the
morning and by obscure streets made
his way to the wharf, hoping to sell
the Mary Jane. A man grasped him
by the arm. 1t was Comstock, the
last man he wished to see, for I'M
doubtedly he owed him something.

CARE FOR ORIENTAL RUGS.
They Require Treatment That Would
Not Do for Wilton or Brussels
Floor Coverings.

The oriental rug is improved by fire.
quent summing and also by an annua!
or semi-annual bath. The colors made
of vegetable dyes cannot fade, and the
process of washing only improves the
texture of the wool. Even a new rug
is washed by the Turkish woman to
better bring out the luster of the ma
terial.
In the orient these rugs are cleaned
entirely by shaking and washing, but
are never beaten. When beating is
necessary it should be done on the
face side, as there is danger when
beating on the wrong side Of breaking
the threads. The best plan is to lay
right side up on the grass and to beat
thoroughly with light rattan beaters.
After the dust is taken or beaten
out small rugs can be put in tubs of
plain cold water. Then the surface
may be gone over with q brush and
sandsoap, always being sure to rub
with the warp. Large rugs can have
the garden hose turned on them with
wonderful cleansing effect, after which
they should be dried in the sun.
In winter, an excellent plan is to
sweep them on the snow, scattering it
over them and sweeping it off again
several times, always working with
the threads. The sweeper should al
ways be used in the same direction,
never turning it backward.
This process Of cleaning is much
safer for these rugs than sending them
to the steam cleaners, where the
threads are in danger of being snapped
by the rapidly turning machinery.
