To Rriahten Up a Carpet.

A carpet looks much cleaner and
brighter II, just before sweeping, some
salt is thrown upon it. or If, after it
has been swept, 1t Is wiped over with
a cloth or sponge wrung out of clean
salt water. This quite removes the
dusty look which so soon gathers upon
carpets, and will brighten the colors.
A cupful Of coarse salt to a basin OF
water Is the right proportion.

Mason City Will Inspect Milk.

By resolutions passed by the city
council at it's last meeting the milk
furnished Mason City by the diaries
will be inspected by the health officer
at least once every three months and
at that time three times in succession.
This act was prompted by the report
of the health department of the city,
which showed the alarming increase
in the number of tubercular cases in
the city, which, as intimated by the
health officer, are carried by milk more
than any other factor. Some unofficial
examinations have been made of GER
tain products of dairies that has led
the health officer to his conclusion, and
he has advised the council to that end.
The disease is prevalent to a consid-
cradle extent among the swine of the
country and large numbers are con-
demned during weeks inspection at
the packing house by the government
inspector. There is much discussion
as to the means at hand whereby all
meats sold in the local markets may
be inspected 1t is said that the city
has no recourse in this respect, how
ever, and the council has left the
matter in the hands of the city
solicitor.

REGIMENT Will March.

Instead of the regular caump, thu
Iowa National Guard will be giver
marches across country this year
Adjutant General Thrift thus explains
the details
"On June 25th, the Fifty-third re
giment will be modified at Dubuque
1t will proceed ON foot to Maquoke
ia, Iowa, travelling eight miles pei
day. 1t will not be test of endur
ance by any means. Strict, military
tactics will be enforced ON the march.
The boys will carry everything they
need in their knapsacks.
An advance and rear guard will be
thrown out, out-posts established,
guards patrolled, and all the practices
of war initiated. The militiamen will
be Obliged to pitch camp every evening
and in the morning pack up and start
off again. This will be kept up until
the party reaches Maquoketa.
You can gain a better idea of what
we intend to do, by illustration.
The Colonel may say to the Lieutenant
Colonel. III give you two hours ad-
vance on me. You march ahead and
at suitable place throw up your de-
lenses and we will find you. Their
the rear detachment will throw out its
advance guard to spy upon the enemy.
The regiment will be supplied with
twenty-five thousand rounds of am.
munition for use in maneuvers. When
the Colonel and his companies come
across the enemy they will attack the
defenses. A regular army officer will
accompany the regiment and act as
umpire. He will give notice if he
thinks the second detachment is re.
pulsed or the first is overcome. II it il
repulse the attacking party will have
to cover itself in retreat. The officer
will report to me. This will be the
means of instructing the boys in the
practices of active warfare"

The Bright Side Of Things.

There is good in everything. A man
may be ever so bad and still have good
teeth.
The skinniest pig that ever rooted in
the'ground:may make good soap grease.
The toughest steak can be ground up
in meat grinder, disguised with
spices and things and made,in mince
pies.
Even dyspepsia, that awful curse of
humanity, has its lighter side. 1t
saves grub.
The man who has two mothers in
law may take heart of hope, for he
might have had three or four or half a
dozen.
The married man can be truly thank
full that he is not single, and the
single man thankful because he is not
married. There is room for rejoicing
on all sides.
The man who is alive should BIZ
thankful that he is not dead, and the
dead should be thankful that they
don't have to pay rent for their tomDs.
Let the fat man rejoice that he is
not fatter than he is, and the thin man
sing because he has skin and bones
left.
II it rains, be glad the rain isn't
bricks. Show your teeth most of the
time and you will soon find life one
long Jag of joy.

The fight for the governorship goes
bravely on.
Major Rathbun of Linn has been
accorded the privilege of naming his
own delegates, and his friends think
that he will hold the balance of power.
George D. Perkins has been gaining
during the past week and will make
still further gains during the coming
week. Inside of six days his vote will
be as large as that of Governor Cum
minis, says the Des Moines Capital.
Then it will be neck to neck race
with Dubuque and Linn counties soms-
what mastering the situation.
1t is singular, when you come to
think Of it, that any man could be
getting votes for a third term in Iowa,
especially when it is known that the
republican party is grealy demoralized
and disorganized. It is strange that
any man could be getting votes for
/! governor for period that would
amount to seven years when during the
first five years he has given nothing
to show for his work except ng a
general increase of taxation.
But strange things happen in this
progressive" age with $4,000 demo-

| 1t is wrong to say that there is but
one man in Iowa who is honest enough
to be intrusted with the governorship.
1t is wrong to say that there is but one
man who is worthy of having the

has good men for the Office of COVER
nor, and the Office being purely
honorary one should be passed around
as reward of merit to deserving

Mary had little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
go. And Mary sat her quickly down
and tears streamed from her eyes; she
never found the lamb because she did
not advertise. And Mary had a brother,
John who kept village store; he sat
down and smoked pipe, and watched
the open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to buy,
John still sat and smoked his pipe and
blinked his sleepy eye. And so the
sheriff closed him out, but still he
fingered near, and Mary came to drop
with him sympathetic tear. How
is it, sister. can you tell. why other
merchants here, sell all their goods so
readily and thrive from year to year.
Remembering her own bad luck the
little maiden replies: "These other
fellows get there, John, because they
advertise. +"

DIED AS SHE SLEPT.
Mrs. L. A. Christensen Found Cold in
Death This Morning.

Mrs. Z. A. Christensen, So years of
ago, was found dead in her bed at her
home, 435 Boswell avenue, this morn
ing by her husband when he went to
cali her for brea 5fast. She retired as
usual last night feeling in good spirits
and had eaten a hearty supper. There
are two boys in the family besides the
husband, the older of her sons a boy
about nine years of age. slept with his
mother last night, and when he
awakened this morning left the bed
without attempting to awaken his
mother.
AS it was not an unusual thing for
his wife to remain in bed while the
servant prepared the morning meal,
Mr.. Christensen did not attempt to
awaken her until Just before he was
leaving home for his days work.
Coroner Keith was called early this
morning and arrived at the conclusion
that death was caused by heart failure.
He said: Mrs. Christenson's death
was undoubtedly caused by heart fail
ure. I found her lying on her side in
bed in a perfectly natural position and
the body was rigid, Indicating that she
must have died during the earlier part
Of the night. There was nothing to
indicate that she had struggled and it
is more than likely that she died with
out ever awakening or realizing that
death was near"
