'It is being taken for granted by
the people generally, as it has been
known to politicians for a year past, :"
says the Manchester Press, that the
governor of Iowa is an avowed cam
didate for the Uuited States senate to
succeed J. p Dolliver. Now. by all
the standpatters and tariff rippers in
Politicalville, our versatile governor
is in for some rollicking times
if we may believe all that is being
alleged concerning his large and
varied ambitions. We have not only
the declaration of the Press that he
intends to shy his castor into the field
for bout with that valiant knight, j.
p. Dolliver, but from other sources
comes the assurance that he is in the
field for the presidency of the United
States four years hence, and will con-
test with Secretary Shaw for the Iowa
delegation to the national convention
Moreover, it has been most positively
affirmed that a deal is on between his
excellency and congressman Hull
whereby onr governor is to succeed
the congressman from the seventh
district and the congressman is to be-
come governor of Iowa. So there you
are.

When man gets old and his feet get
cold and the end of his nose turns blue,
and he smells of rose and he thinks
OF his toes and the world TO him looks
blue, he waddles around with look
profound, and hopes for turn in
affairs and it comes with rush and
gives him push and leaves his estate
to his heirs. They squabble and fight
with vigor an might, each one wanting
it all, and finally the lawyers, kind
souls, take charge of the rolls and there
is nothing left for the heirs but the
holes.

A prosperous Cinnamon in Chicago
married an American girl and bought
lot for thousand dollars on which
to build home. Then he was brought
before the federal court and informed
that in our laws he was not person
and could not hold real estate. He
proposed to deed the property to his
wife, but was told that when she mar
ried him she became Chinese and
could not hold the title. So he can
neither keep the lot, sell it, or give it
away. .-Ex

recently that even majority of q

A scientist in recent article points
out that as many millions of tons OF
coal have been taken out of the earth
and burned in the last few years the
earth ought to be lighter as result.
He wants to know if this fact will
not interfere with the working of the
solar system. Another scientific
authority says the sea is gaining on
the east coast of England and receding
ON the west. This is taken to indicate
that England will go farther west and
ultimately reach the American con.
tinent. 1t is suggested that no more
coal be mined in order to keep the is,
land compact.

A quietus has been established
among the enraged Iowa politicians
over the change in the consular ap-

President Roosevelt has decided to re-

Geo. l.. Dobson, who was announced
to take Mahin's place at Nottingham.

The success of the Japanese com
missariat has set some of our military
men to considering the value of fish
as part of the army ration. The
Japanese use it in the form of ''fish
meal. prepared by removing the bones
and compressing the remainder before
cooking and smoking. The meal keeps
indefinitely, and insects do not attack
it. 1t is used for soup, and shaved
thin and cooked with rice. Upon
rice the Japanese soldier in the field
largely depends, with more concen-
trated and stimulating fare as an
auxiliary. 1t is not unlikely that one
result of the present war will be some
reconsideration of the ration of the
United States army, which is at
present generous, but perhaps too
heavy to be hygienically ideal.

OTHER PUBLIC EVENTS.

Numerous other celebrations, obser-
vances, conventions, etc. heretofore
announced in these columns will Keep
Decorah pretty busy during the COM
ing summer, and it will not be long
should this continue before Decorah
will rightly be termed the "conven-
tion city, of northeastern Iowa.
Probably the first event of this
nature will be the opening of the
magnificent new Winnesheik hotel,
which will likely take place about
April 18th, or perhaps little later.
This will be one of the most promi-
nent social events in years, and will
attract a large number from outside
of the city.
On Memorial Sunday May 2Sth,
usual union services will be held at
the Grand opera house, under the
auspices of the Grand Army, Womans
Relief Corps and Sons Of Veterans.
The annual Memorial sermon will be
preached by Rev. Margaret Olmstead
of Unity Church.
Decoration Day, May 30th, the usual
cermonies and exercises will be held
in Decorah, with the address delivered
by Rev. E. G. Huut.
One of the biggest events of the
year will be the annual picnic of the
Northeastern Iowa Modern Woodmen
Picnic Association on June 1st or Sth,
date not yet definitely decided. The
picnic here six years ago brought one
of the largest crowds Decorah ever
saw, and there is prospect of even
greater attendance this year. One OF
the main attractions of the day will
be an address By Hon. A. r. Talbot OF
Lincoln, Neb., Head Consul of the
order.
The Northeastern Iowa Veterans
Association will hold their annual
reunion in Decorah some time during
the month of June. This will bring
