We are rather anxious to see
what Mr. Bryan will have to say
regarding Governor Wilson's ad
mission that he was an applicant
for a Carnegie pension. Seldom
has Mr. Bryan become so wrought
up over any question as he. was
over that Carnegie pension scheme.
Now that Governor Wilson stands
revealed as having applied for a
pension it will be interesting to
read Mr. Bryan's views thereon ,
It is the cairn and unbiased opin
ion of this newspaper that the
Wilson boom has waned sadly dur
ing the last three or four weeks ,
and that the Harmon boom has in
creased in corresponding- .
And yet we hold that Champ Clark
. is still the logical candidate.
„
When Champ Clark said what
he did about Canadian annexation
he told the truth which is not.a .
politic thing for a politician or a
candidate to do. Yet everybody
knows that Clark was right. Will

Mr. Latta's place.
HITS FOR THE
IUSY HOUSEWIFE
Door Mat Combines Scraper ,
Cleaner and Wiper.
Particular housewives usually see
that their front steps are equipped
with three articles to enable visitors
to enter the house with , clean shoes.
At the bottom of the steps is the'
scraper , on the top step is a metal
mat and in the vestibule is a rough ,
fibrous mat for wiping the feet. An
Illinois man has combined these three
things in one doormat. His invention
is in two parts , hinged together. One
of these parts is a metal mat of the
kind familiar to everybody , and on
one end of this the scraper is mount
ed. Hinged to this is a cocoa mat.
The visitor on a muddy day can thus
scrape off the worst of the mud on the
scraper , scratch the rest loose on the
metal mat and wipe his shoes perfect
ly clean on the cccoa mat. The dirt
that collects under , the mefal portion
can be swept away in an instant by
raising this part on its hinges.
Laundry Hints.
Muslin should be ironed wet , for if
allowed to dry it will have a rough
appearance. Iron on the right side to
give it a gloss , and iron the way of
the thread. Finish off by ironing on
the wrong side.
Embroidered muslin should be iron-
qd on the wrong side , which raises
the pattern.
In ironing colored goods do not use
too hot an iron , as heat is apt to fade
the color.
When pressing any garment trim
med with lace the lace should be iron
ed first.
If .thin goods feel too stiff after hav
ing been ironed put through water and
iron again.
Cream of Barley Soup.
Use up the bones of a roast fowl in
Viennese cream of barley soup. First
make the soup by cooking the bones
slowly for several hours and strain.
Then add to every "two quarts about
two table-spoonfuls of barley , two on
ions chopped fine , two chopped car
rots and a bit of bay leaf. Cook for
two hours and then press through a
sieve. Turn in a cupful of hot milk ,
and when it boils add the beaten yolks
of two eggs , salt and pepper. Add a
cupful of asparagus tips or green peas
and serve very hot.
Lettuce Sandwiches.
Boil eggs till they are crumbly , chop
them fine and season with salt and
pepper. Get tender lettuce and pick it
to finest shreds with fingers. It ruins ' !
lettuce to chop It with steel. Mix
egg apd lettuce evenly , spread dain
tily on thin slices * of bread ( buttered )
and drop over it some nice saln'd dress
ing , then cover with'another-thin-slice
of buttered bread. Always make
sandwiches .very Una *

John D. Archbolck New Head
of Standard Oil.
John Dustin Archbold , the new presi
dent of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey , has long been the most
active man in the management. Dur
ing the past decade and in the legal
battles now ended he has been the
practical head of Standard Oil , al
though John D. Rockefeller ivas cou-
I suited on large inattors of policy and
i remained the final authority.
I Until recent years Mr. Rockefeller
has probably been more difficult of ac
cess than any man in the country and
' was rarely seen in public. Mr. Arch-
1 bold , on the other hand , has been of
social habits. He is a familiar liguro
I in lower Broadway , is fond of a joke
' and is short , stout and merry of eye.
! He is something of a horseman and
is frequently seen driving with Mrs.
Arcbbold along Vv'estchostcr roads
. back of his Tarrytown residence" and
is a frequenter of the neighboring
country clubs. He was born at Lees-
burg. 0. . July 20 , 1S4S , and comes of
Virginian Scotch-Irish stock. He was
one of the men who embarked in the
oil business during the tidal wave of
excitement over .the big strikes in
.1804-5. and his subsequent experience
before entering the \ew York end of
the business carried him through prac
tically every * department of petroleum
manufacture.
Mr. Littleton of-New York.
Representative Martin-W. Littleton
of New York , who signalized the open
ing of congress by a heated speech in
defense of his integrity , is a Democrat
and is serving his first term in the na
tional legislature. lie is a member of
the Stanley steel investigating commit
tee and at a meeting of that .body ob
jected to certain questions put to wit
nesses as not being within tha scope of
the investigation. For this he was at
tacked by a New York newspaper and

the Anti-trust league as a friend of
the steel trust. In tbe course of his
speech Mr. Littleton said :
"Let ine s.-iy here and now that if In
my services on a committee loyalty to
my party requires me to do as I am
bid * * * I shall refuse to obey the
mandate of my parly ami shall prefer
to subscribe myself to the obligations
of my oath. "
Congressman Litileton is a native of
Tennessee and forty-one years old. His
youth was .spent in Texas , where he
was admitted to the bar and prac
ticed his profession until 1SOG. when
he moved to Xew York. Since that
tJmo he has practiced law in New
York city , with the exception of two
years , when he was president of the
borough of Brooklyn.
Hildreth's Ruling Passion.
The deer season brings its tragedies
and its comedies. Every year some
tyro has his buck fever or some joker
returns with a new yarn.
According to a horseman. Sain Hll-
dreth and Abe Fnuik went into the
woods and were stationed separately
on 'a natural runway.
, A .deer came along -smashing speed
nud offered Hildrcth a fair shot. In-
Ftead of shorn log. Hildrolh laid down
hia r8e. ! took . out his split second
watch an3 timed the animal. He
probably intended to have a' bet on
bka the nest season.

We desire to announce that we are not clos
ing out , but are still selling the very best goods
at reasonable prices.
Our line of John Deere Implements , Yelie
Buggies , Moline and Davenport Boiler Bearing
Wagons and Samson Windmills is complete
and priced right.
We also have a large stock of lumber , liine ,
. Wall Plaster , Cement , Brick , Sash , Doo.rs , etc.
Is it not good policy to patronize a firm who
expects to continue in business and intends to
handle the same line of goods for years to come.
We never advertise so-called bargains
because we have always had our goods priced
right.
