Isaac Manhoff, Of Dubuque, De-
cides He Has Had Enough
and Quits Using Them.

Dubuque, Ia.-With a record o
nearly 100000 cigarettes, at an av
erage of 60 day, Isaac Manhoff, ;
peddler 40 years old, has decided Il
renounce the weed. The habit ha'
such hold on him. that 1t was neces
sary to awake at all hours OF thu
might and roll a coffin nail'' before
he could be lulled to sleep again
When a lad in Russia he began the
habit which he found so hard to shake
off. Despite this fact he will devote
his days to trying to convince mel
and boys that they should cease the
practice. Manhoff was in the habi
of smoking ten cigarettes before
breakfast, and the rest of the day {
cigarette was out of his mouth only
few minutes at a time.
For a man who has inhaled the
fumes of so many cigarettes Manhof
Is a strong man. He weighs aboul
IT'S pounds and has a massive ches'
and a square build. He says: "Yor
see, when awoke in the morning the
first thing | wanted was a cigarette
Generally ] smoked about ten before
breakfast. No, never smoked while
eating, but as soon as I finished J
would put one in my mouth. Then
through the day ! would smoke them
continuously. one now and another
shortly after. Then night would
come and / would smoke them late
ald many times even in bed"
Have you ever smoked cigar?"
Il have smoked two cigars in my
life. / couldn't smoke them because
they made me sick. When | get cigars
now | give them to my friends"
How did you happen to quit smok-
ing?"
We'll, you see, it was just like this:
When | was afflicted with cold l
usually got hoarse and while l smoked
the hoarseness grew more intense.
One day not long ago the thought &C.
Cured to me that | should forsake
the cigarettes. 1t was then and there
that | made up my mind to never
smoke another one"
What was about your cigarettes that
was different from others?"
well, when l smoked I always used
the Russian rice paper and not the
rag paper used generally in America.
Why. IL / had smoked the rag paper
instead of the rice l would have been
dead long ago."
Manhoff estimated the cost of his
smoking at 1871.

That the mayor was not silent

dens and resorts, 100000; from
the theaters, $4,000.
One of the signs OF Schmitz's sud

house on Vallejo, street, overlooking
the bay, and he put 100000 into Its

Truly Unmasked by sisson.

With reference to education, Noel,
Truly and Brewer were outspoken
against the position of Vardaman on
the negro during the last campaign,
but now they have all tumbled over
on the same platform, and out-Her-
oded Vardaman in the matter, and
made him look like twenty cents
out on education. Judge Truly, he
said, had even gone so far to deliver
campaign documents against Varda-
man in his charges to the grand jul
over him now.
Mr.. Sisson also told about how
Judge Truly was going around COM
pairing the school fund in Bolivar
county with each county that he Wis
tied He said that Truly stated that
in Bolivar each child got $37.40,
while in Newton each received only
about 81 or IS. If this was true,
superintendent Whitfield should be
in the penitentiary. said Mr.. Sisson.
Mr.. Sisson said the way Judge Truly
figured this out was to take the total
amount apportioned to Bolivar coun-
ty and divided by it the number of
white children. Then he would do
the same thing in Newton county.
IF the judge had been fair enough
to take all the negroes and white
children in the Delta counties and
figure out what each received, and
then do the same thing in the hill
counties, he would find that each
county got the same per capita

An Early Spring.

Last Saturday was ground hog
day. and in this locality the animal
saw his shadow. 1t is a day of great
significance to those who place any
faith in the Farmers Almanac.
According to the ancient superstition,
if the ground hog sees his shadow
when he issues from his hole at noon
on February 2. he will crawl in again
and prepare for six weeks more of
winter. If, on the other hand, he
finds the sky overcast, no matter how
stormy and cold the day may be, he
will stay out, secure in the knowledge
that the backbone of the winter is
broken and warm weather will come
soon. The Register weather service,
which is based on omen, is of the
opinion that the country will have
an early spring this year.-The Scott
