the last few days have given the
president concern. and have made
other people wonder whether his re;a-

The most sensational story OF the
developments in these relations con-
Germs the makeup of the house con-

asking him to put Representative Eb-

not only did not put Mr.. Hill on, but

Up to this time, fact that the Igesi,

quest to the speaker, has been known
only to very few people. In the last
two days the circle has been widening
and the most extreme wonderment has
been expressed as to what took place
between the president and the speak

Keota where they will attempt to
break young buffaloes from the Sing
master herd to drive like oxen. II
the experiment is successful they will
drive them to the state fair next
month, along with the oxen that are
already broken.
The oxen broken by the Coops in the
past have attracted considerable at
tention each time they went through
the streets of Fairfield. Coop and his
oxen moved the old Bonnifield log
cabin to It's present resting place in
Old Settlers park, and they have been
prominent features of every settlers
celebration for several years past.
Coop is the first white child born in
Jefferson county.
The breaking of wild buffalo is
somewhat OF an experiment and the
Coops are quite uncertain of what
their success will be. The Coops are
probably the only people in Iowa using
oxen in their regular farm work
