Over there we catch glimpse of the X-rays
a complete plating machine, and hundreds of
electrical toys which are going to be all the
rage this season among those who can be
favored with costly playthings. Some of the
engines come to as much as ten guineas; but
the smaller models can be had for very tri'
fling sum.
An adjoining room wears quite military
aspect, with its thousands of leaden soldiers
in full dress, looking very fierce and brave.

it and this denial was printed in the
columns Of the Capital during the first
campaign of Cumminss for governor
and the Capital editor printed 1t and
accepted 1t as the truth.
The Sioux City Journal of recent
date quotes w. H. Torbett as saying
that Cummins ran as democratic
candidate for the legislature and de-
feated James G.. Berryhill. This is as
far false as the assertion Of the Capt.
tai, but the failing memory and activity
of mind of the aged editor of the Jour-
nal, who is nearly as old as Senator
Allison, may account for this. Berry
hill and Cummins were each elected to
and served as members Of the house
Of the Iowa legislature during the
Twenty-second general assembly, the
election occurring in November, 1887.
They sat together in the republican
caucuses of that session as republi-
cans. Cummins was not again a cam
didate and served but the one term so
1t was impossible for him to have de-
feated Berryhill.
The columns Of the two papers
quoted frequently contain just such de-
liberate misstatements and yet there
are no two newspapers in the state that

gagged in trying to represent as false

of the selling was the inference drawn
