PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS.

Over at Columbus Junction, in Lou.
lisa county, some live spirits OF the
place held harness race meeting on
a half mile track last week. Nothing
remarkable nor unusual about that.
In connection with the race track end
of the meeting was fair program
with the customary run of entertain
ment and business for an occasion OF
this character. Nothing unusual about
that.
Columbus Junction has been hold
ing fairs and race meetings for fif-
teen or twenty years. Nor is there
anything unusual about that. But
when Il the people of the community
turn out almost to man and in three
days send through the gates of the
association total of over 10000 paid
admissions, other people sit up and
take notice. The unusual has hap
pened.
That Is the character of support
and patronage that makes such things
possible. Oskaloosa had a harness
race meeting last season. with as good
horses as ever entered the state, as
attractive a program as one might
see at state fair and free entertain
ment enough to satisfy the most ex-
acting. Yet with extensive advertis-
ing, perfect weather conditions. coax
ing, pleading and almost threatening,
the organization was unable to get
enough patronage to pay expenses,
and the association had to make up
the difference in CASH. tusC,riipthg,
p The people had spoken They eap-
parently did not want the harness
races enough to encourage the man.
agement by their support, to the ex-
tent of paying actual running ex-
penses, not to say leaving a surplus
for working basis of another meet
Ing. But in the makeup of this same
public is an element ever willing and
ready to give support and financial
backing to the amusement enterprise
away from home. at the same time
that mo one ever does
anything here"
Time was when Mahaska county
iairs crowded almost as many people
On its grounds in one day as Columbus
Junction fair had during its entire
program. The fair, like the race
meeting. was later abandoned. But
here is no accounting for tastes and
here is no use to kick against the
bricks. Public opinion is as elusive
It times as II is emphatic at others.

I'd tomorrow.

WOMAN WANTED TO DIE
Mrs. Johnson of Bolton Drinks a
Quantity of Sloan's Linament.

Mrs. W. u. johnson, colored, resi-
dent of Bolton, attempted suicide at
her home Sunday. The act was de-
liberate and premeditated and did not
succeed only because her instrument
Of accomplishment was insufficient.
Mrs Johnson made all preparations,
wrote a note explaining how her act
was on account Of another woman.
She left instructions as to the DISPOSE
ton of her things, the laying away OF
her body, and then drank a quantity
of,-Sloan's liniment.
While not as effective as acid or a
more virulent poison, the iiniment
was plenty strong and II set up an
irritation In the stomach that caused
the victim all manner OF suffering.
Doctors kept the road hot between
Bolton and Oskaloosa all day In the
effort TO save the woman's life and
finally succeeded in pulling her
through,

SHE'S GOOD ENOUGH.

Suppose woman likes to wear
A gown as light as vapor;
And fiimsy as spider web,
And thin as tissue paper.
Suppose she wears high-heeled pump
And shows dainty stocking,
So long as she is always sweet,
Then what's the good of knocking?
Suppose a woman likes to wear
A skirt that's quite riddle;
Suppose it's draped and hobbled,
Or divided in the middle.
Suppose it's opened at the side.
And shows the other stocking
So long as she is good as gold.
Is what she likes, so shocking?

Suppose woman's evening gown
Her charming throat exposes,
Suppose she likes to rouge her cheeks
The dainty tint of roses.
Aye, cen suppose she piles her hair
At night upon her dresser.
So long as she is like she is.
She's good enough, God bless her.
