One of the most notable changes
that has ever taken place in the Iowa
newspaper field has been announced.

buying the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The Nonpareil, after the first of July,
VIII be owned by D. w. Norris, Jr,
who made the Marshalltown Times
Republican such great success, and
w. P. Hughes, who has been the BUSH
ness manager of the Times-Republican
Tor some time. The resident manager
OF the Nonpareil will be Mr.. Hughes,
who will remove to Council Bluffs at
once and take active charge of the
property. 1t has been suggested that
politicians may be interested with
Norris and Hughes in the purchase of
the Nonpareil, but the Gazette is in
position to state that Messrs. Norris
and Hughes are the sole purchasers
and that no stock will be sold, unless it
be small amounts to heads of depart-
ments actively employed on the paper.

he was telling was true.
OF course, maybe it wasn't true; it

ALL FOR PROTECTION.

Inc Daily treernan- Tribune.
The question arises, What will
the republicans of Iowa do in regard
to the new tariff law? Thousands
of Iowa republicans are free trad
ers. Thousands more are in favor
of the tariff for revenue only. A
few are in favor of protection,
about such protection as we have
had.-Des Moines Capital.
In the judgment of the Freeman
Tribune the Capital is misrepresent-
ing the attitude of the republicans
of Iowa. There are practically no
free traders among Iowa republic
cans. They all believe in protection
adequate protection. Few, if any,
believe in a tariff for revenue.
which in reality is free trade. Eng
land has revenue tariff and Eng
land is known as free trade coua-
try. The Capital is right, however,
when it says a few are in favor Of
such protection as we have had"
The protection we have had was
placed 20 per cent higher than
necessary in order to give US some
thing to trade in exchange for -eci-
procity agreements. But the senate
refused to ratify the treaties nego-
tiated by Hon John A. kasson and
endorsed by President Mckinley,
hence the tariff we have had vas
higher. as was admitted by the men
who framed it, than the legitimate
needs of protection demanded Colonel
Young knows these to be the facts.
In years past he advocated recipro-
city and he must have known that
something could be given In the
way of tariff reduction without in
jury to our own industries.
Iowa. is as loyal today to the prin-
ciple of protection as it ever was. It
demands adequate protection to ev-
cry industry. but it does not want
a tribute tariff. 1t wants square
deal. It wants the tariff revised
by the friends OF the principle, but
it does not want 1t revised by it's d.
rect beneficfaries. Iowa wants its
representatives in congress to stand
for the right. 1t wants them to
place the impost duties at the point
representing the difference Of cost Of
production in this and competing
countries. This is really the posi-
ton of a large majority Of the re-
publicans of Iowa and 1t was the po-
sitton of the Des Moines Capital be-
fore it turned turtle several years

One of the last official acts of Judge
James III. Rothrock, who is soon to
leave for New York city to become
the counsel Of a large financial house,
was to put a little sunshine into the
life Of lad whose story touched his
heart.
1t was the first Juvenile court case
which has come before Judge Roth

vides that the superior courts shall
have concurrent jurisdiction will, the
district courts in juvenile cases.
Two or three days ago 15-year-
lad drifted into Cedar Rapids and was
tempted to steal. 1t Is wrong to steal,
and the boy knew 1t was wrong. but he
was desperately hungry. Ten days

LET'S FEEL FOR THEM.

Six Iowa congressman and twelve
other republican members of the house
of congress voted with the minority
in opposition to speaker Cannon's rule
yes or no on the Aldrich tariff bill and
send it directly to the conference COM
mittee without opportunity to discuss,
consider or pass upon schedules sep
arately. These men are published as
insurgents. At Washington they ex-
cite the contempt of a populace which
looks upon all government as a process
of distributing the jobs. In the coun-
try at large they are looked upon as
national defenders in the same class
as the minute men
They, 100, were
there to night for the privilege of being
represented.
These insurgents argue that the sem
ate has raised 129 of the house sched-
ules and reduced only eighty and that,
whereas the house bill itself was forced
thru without opportunity for consid-
Grafton of schedules separately, they
now feel that fairness and business
would entitle them to a form of delib-
Grafton if not the substance
1t may seem to some that in order
to bring about results and an adjourn
ment it may be necessary for the
steam roller to proceed without arsu-
ment and doubtless this is what
promoted Walter l. Smith, of Iowa, to
defend rule so obnoxious to six of
his Iowa colleagues 1t will probably
not change the ultimate law material
ly but there should be a kindly SYM
pathy shown to congressman making
ugly faces as they are forced to swal-
low a composite dose containing much
that Is distasteful to them. They prob
ably went to Washington under the
that they were to
lend the wisdom of their counsel in the
enactment of laws for the nation. Joe
Cannon, in his old age and the ti-
rectors of the system he represents.
should not show so much Impotence.

How to Wait on Home Table.

The longer one waits upon the table
the better the work will be done, for
practice is one of the essentials to per-
lection. Perhaps the first principle to
learn is that everything should be
handed to the left side of the person
who is sitting. with enables them to
serve themselves easily with the right
hand.
In laying the table one must have an
eye to preserving balance with every
thing that is put on. That Is, If salt
cellar is placed at one side, there must
be another in the corresponding place
on the other. A fern or dish OF fruit,
or even an empty dish if it is pretty
one, must always be placed in the very
center. Around that are the extra
forks and spoons, as attractive as you
can arrange them
In front Of the places Of persons who
are to be seated there must be a plate,
says Rosanna Schuyler in the New
York Telegram. The knife Is put at
the right side and the forks at the left,
the tines pointing up. II there is a
soup spoon it goes beside the knife.
The oyster fork also is next to the
spoon and the knife, but that for
oysters is the only fork that is placed
at the right. Ali the others go to the
left. If more than one is required, as
for salad after the meal. the larger fork
goes next to the plate. Spoons for des-
sert, whether they are large or small,
are over the plate-that is, are across
the top.
The napkin should be folded with two
points under and laid in the plate, a
square of bread being tucked away in
it if the meal is dinner
To give exact directions for serving
meal Is almost impossible. for 1T de-
ponds entirely upon the mistress, and
whether she wishes 1t done formally or
simply. According to present custom
plate should always be placed before
a person as soon as one is removed,
so that the place is never empty. In
very simple living this Is not done
Few housekeepers have more than
the roast on the table these days, veg
which they are handed by the maid,
who returns them there after each per-
son has been served.
If they are to be kept on the table
one would be at one side, another at
the other side of the meat, or two
dishes might be put at the foot of the
table. That is matter of individual
preference which each housekeeper de-
cides.
The maid serving should wear a
small white cap and big apron with
bib and straps over the shoulders and
crossing at the back. The dress must
be black. 1t is most becoming.
Quiet in the dining room is thing
that must be striven for by the maid.
A noisy person is an abomination. and
the rattle of dishes and clash Of silver
should not be permitted

In Paris.
One of the fashionable novelties Of
women's attire this season will be
summer NUTS, or, rather, a scarf and
muff, which is dignffed by the name
Of "vigee le Brun," the famous wo.
man artist Of the revolution. The
style consists Of wide chiffon scarf
worn on, not of, the shoulders and
large chiffon mum which buries the
arms to the elbows. The "Vfgee, le
Brun" scarf and muff will be made. of
an entirely different, shade Of chiffon
from the dress and will generally
match the hat.
The scarf must be very wide, but so
soft that it will crumple up into the
smallest space, and must be borderel
With an accordion plated frill. The
nun must be as large as a feather pill
lowcase. edged also with frtlls and
adorned with large bow Of soft satin
ribbon.

NOTED SHORT STORY WRITER
Sarah orne Jswstt's Explanation Of
How She Became an Author.

oaFNh OFh0 JoWeSSo explanation OF
How She Became an Author.
Sarah One Jewett, who recently
died at her summer home in South
Berwick, Me-, was known for forty
years al q writer Of brilliant short
stories Of New England country life
She was pioneer In the field. 1t was
she who made story lovers feel at
home in the stin New England par
lers and the prim village streets trod-
den by the descendants Of the Puri-
tans.
Indeed, this clew not merely to her
quality as writer. but her character
as woman, is best expressed in her
own explanation Of how she came to
write. when l was perhaps fifteen"
she said, "the first city boarders began
to make their appearance near Ber-
wick, and the way they misconstxued
the country people and made ga1pe OF
their pecuharities fred mo with indig
nation. I determined to teach the
world that country people were not the
awkward, ignorant set those persons
seemed to think. / wanted the world
to know their grand, simple lives, and
80 far az I had mission when first
began to write think that was It."
Miss Jewett was a woman of charm
ing personality. Although her early
education was obtained entirely in her
little country home town, 1t was under
the best auspices, for her people were
vrol 1ocnardo1 ka1 I'll.
early education and her own natural
gifts were added the broadening in
fiuences of travel and association. Her
intimacy with Mrs. James T. Field at
an early age opened to her the doors
Of the most cultured society in Boston
and in Europe, aud therefore she was
enabled to look upon the people of
whom she wrote from a dual point Of
view.
The authors birthplace and home Is
beautiful colonial house, built over
$50 years ago, in the old town of South
Berwick, Me. She was born In 1S49
Her father, DR.. Theodore II. Jewett,
was highly educated physician and
professor in the medical department
of Bowdoin college. In "a Country
Doctor" Is found glimpse Of their
happy companionship. Indeed, 1t was
under her wise fathers supervision
that she obtained most of her educa-
ton. Much Of her time was spent in
browsing in his excellent library.
Miss Jewett's first story was ac-
cepted by the Atlantic Monthly pure
~ on its merits when she was twenty
years old. "Deephaven" was her first
success. Since then she had published
long list Of books. She travelled ex-
tensively in. the United States and
abroad.
In personal appearance Miss .Jewett
was tall and dignifed, with a well
bred grace and courtesy OF manner.
She had bright and piquant face
and low, musical voice. In CONVERSE
ton she was bright and interesting, Sc
lecting her words with a quick dis
elimination. She possessed q keen wit.

MAKES HAY HIGH.
TPomeroy Herald.1

The improved drainage conditions
are responsible for the shortage of hay
IN this section of the state. Until the
past few years there was so much land
that could raise nothing but hay that
an abundant supply was always as
sured. AS the land is being drained
and put into grain. the hay acreage is
cut short, and will become shorter as
the years go by and drainage improve
ments are extended There was a good
yield last year for the acreage, but not
enough to supply the demands.

Ill Sorts ofObiniions
q Wonder Why 'Tis So

Won0ef why Ills so.
tRev. Abram j. Ryan,
Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
I sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts
break;
I often wonder why tits so.
Some wills faint where some wills
fight
Some love the tent, and some the
field,
] often wonder who are right
The ones who strive, or those who
yield?
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thru ages and thru lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, a thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have
fled;
Some seek when others shun the
fray.
Some swords rust where others clash,
Some fall back where some move on,
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.

to observe that "Never before in the
