All firemen attending the Rescue ball
are requested to wear uniforms , or as
much of a uniform as they may possess.
If a fellow has only a belt left , or a cap ,

Another Manifesto.
Cot'xnt. Ih.VFKg , Iowa , Jan. 20 , 1890.
To all who love liberty in Iowa : As
chairman of the executive committee of
the convention held bv the mayors of
Iowa at thu city of DCS Moiiies , December
10 , IBS. ! , at which a fair ami carefully
prepared memorial was unanimously
adopted and approved by the mayors anil
other duly aulhori/ed representatives of
the following cities lo wit : DCS Moiucs ,
Dubunuo , Davenport , Burlington , Coun
cil BlufK Siouv City , Cedar Uapids ,
ICuokuk , Clinton , Ottumwa , Muscatlnc ,
Msmhalltown , Cre.slon , Iowa Cily , Fort
Miiilifton , Fort Dodge , Lyons , Oskaloosu ,
Moouc , he Mars , lied Oak. and What
Cheer , it becomes my duly to s'ay to the
people of Hie state that the a-weinblago
was truly a representative body of the
conservative MCiilimcut of Iowa , and in
no respect partisan in its character.
The convention was made tip of city of
ficials who had been elected to their re
spective positions , some as republicans
and others as democrat" , and all alike
had the welfare of our beloved stale and
its future pnnperily at heart. Theycanui
together as the chief executive ollleerof
their rcspcelivo cities , and as the repre
sentatives of nearly half a million reput
able taxpayers , who cheerfully make up ,
year after year , a very largo portion of
the state revenue. In consequence of
their ollicial experience they are , per-
hum , better qualified lo suggest a practi
cal way to put a stop lo the ' 'free use of
whisky , " than persons who sire pro
nounced prohibitionists.
Why will Iowa , with her thousands of
free schools , waste the llmo anil money
of her people in an attempt to do a thing
wherein older and younger states have
made a total failure when trying to per
form the same tiling. I cannot and will
not believe thai , the non-fanatical portion
of the Iowa legislature will treat the ap
peal , made by tlio executive otljccrs of
the cities before named , with iiulitler *
once. But the prohibitionists all over
the state are at work day and night ,
holding meetings soliciting delegates ,
writing letters and doing sill in their
powcr.lo entourage and assist their friends
in thc'gcneral assembly lo make tlio pro
hibition laws of this state stronger and
more tyrannical and fanatical if possi
ble than they now aro. In view of this
fact it is necessary for those who believe
these laws to bo obnoxious , tyrannical
and nucnforciblo as they already cx t ,
to say nothing of Senator Stilton's last
monstrosity called a bill , and aU _ who dc-
sire to see enacted a substantial license
law that will put an end to free whisky
and the pocket saloon epidemic , lo act
together in concert without regard to
party politics.
All such persons arc earnestly re
quested to meet in the city hall at DCS
Molncs on Wednesday , .January 2:5 : , at
the hour of 10 o'clock a. m. , to aid and
counsel the executive- committee , and to
see and suggest to llieir respective sen
ators and representatives the necessity of
independent and prompt action in this
important matter. If citizens who ear
nestly feel impressed in favor of personal
liberty cannot bo sent , let them contrib
ute letter alter letter in order that over
whelming proof of public sentiment maybe
bo impressed upon the meeting , and that
members of the legislature may not be in
doubt as lo the duty they owb to their
constituents.
The executive committee needs aid at
once. Delay is dangerous. Let every
mayor and alderman , and as many others
who favor a rigid license as may find it
possible to do ho , to attend the meeting
at DCS Moincs on the 2 < th inst. Come
prepared to stay , if necessary , ten or
twenty days. The Into interests of the
people of Iowa are at stake. The ques
tion lo bo decided is , Shall Iho old Blue
Laws of Connecticut , of more than a
hundred years ago , become the prevail
ing laws of Iowa now in the evening of
the Nineteenth century.

A QUICK AND ACCURATE SHOT.
AVIIllnm Graham or Knglnml .Shoots
With Otto Hand Behind His Uaolr.
The New York Sun says : Two hundred
Jerscymen interested in trap shooting ,
assembled on Erb's grounds , between
Newark and Bloomlield , yesterday after
noon , and stood in the snow while Wil-
his back. Sixty lull-fledged and strong-
winged birds were placed in champagne
baskets , and Graham stepped to Iho iront
with a tcn-guago choke-bored breech
loader. Tlio birds were trapped and
shot with extraordinary I'apidily ,
Graham convincing Iho spectators
in a very few minutes that he
was a remarkably quick and precise
shot. Many of the birds were almost as
white as the snow which hid the grass in
the enclosure , but this did not appear to
effect the general result. He killed 37
out of the CO birds , and m nearly every
instance an inert mass of feathers lay
within live feet of the trap si moment
after the sharp crack of the gun was
heard. Graham uses an English wool
powder , and his shells were loaded to the
equivalent in measures of four drachms
ol black powder. He used H ounces of 8
shot , and the discharge of his gun was ac
companied with little noise or smoke.
Aflcr ho concluded his feat he entered
several sweepstakes shoots in which
Lover , Bunh , Castles , Frecho , Harrison ,
Williams , Miller , luston , Heustiss , Ap-
plcgato and other pigeon slayers contest
ed. Graham won firat money.
A Scandal in High Life.
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Globe saj'B that there is an 5m-
me.nse lot of gossip in clubs and cafes
anent the very large "row" in a box in
the Metropolitan opera house last week.
The names of the parlies are kept private
out of motives of delicacy , and as it is
believed that the cause of the quarrel
may bo exaggerated , but they are of
high social and political distinction in
New York.
The opera boxes at the Metropolitan
are divided into two apartments , the
front one the bosl proper , facing the
auditorium , and the second being a snug
little room in the rear\vhero Iho auditors
may retire between the acts or at any
time , and bo as private as they please.
The occupants of one of these boxes was
a gentleman and his wife. The lady is
young and beautiful , and the gentleman
handsome and strongly built , and look
ing formidable even m his dress suit. The
Queen of Shcba had been singing , and
the curtain fell. The gentleman
aro-'o and strolled out. Shortly
afterwards the lady was observed to re
tire , leaving her opera , glasses , however ,
on the front of the box. A few moments
later , at a tap on the back door of Iho
box , a gentleman was admitted. The
husband , who had gone out first , was evi
dently not pleased by his stroll , for ho
had not been long absent when , with
somewhat of a Middcnnc s , ha unlocked
the door with his key , and , it is averred ,
found thu gentleman visitor , nol nearly
his own hi/.e or weight , embracing his
wife.
wife.He is a very polite man , fie ho asked
his wife to retire to the box in front. The
lady did o with alacrity. The husband
thereupon turned round , and without
auother word sprang upon the offending
visitor like a tiger , The visitor was wiry
but not very muscular , and ho fared ill at
the hands of the enraged husband ,
who punched him , choked him and finally
.seemed on the point of strangling him
for good and all , when thogentlemen oc
cupants of the neighboring boxes , hearing
HID humping , tumbling and creaking of
iho wordless fight , rushed in and saved
the visitor's lif/i. / Ho was dragged
off in a filill speeoiless condition , looking
a.s though he had been through a rag
mill , put into his cab , and driven homo to
nui'ao his bruises. The husband and wife
had tin unsatisfactory interview , but the
lady , it is said , urged the after-dinner
condition of Iho visjlor , his genuine
friendship for the family and her fear of
making a scandal by making an outcry.
The gay Lothario has , il is understood ,
apologized for his mis-conduct , and the
husband , being unwilling lo make furth
er scandal , lias , itis .said , accepted the
amends. So there will probably bo no
duel and no divorce.
The Almanac Season Now Upon Us.
"This is the almanac season with some
of our customers , " said a real estate man
to the Chicago Herald's rambler ,
"And what is the almanac season ? "
"Doji't you know ? Why , just after the
beginning of the now year a great many
people place their faith in almanacs. In
some publications of this kind three or
four days of every month are put down
as unluoky , on which days people are
cautioned against transacting any im
portant business. There are any amount
of people who cannot bo induced to sign
a paper on ono of these so-called unlucky
days. Of course , more women than men
are thu. > affected , but when a man is a
superstitious coward he's more abject
and determined in 5tsthai a woman. Wo
call this the almanac senlion of the year
because at this time the almanac has
much more influence than It will have
later on. Like diaries , good rcsolujions
and other now vear uiftg.o. | the belief in
the unlucky eharatncr of these days
gradually peters out with most people ,
though it clings to a few throughout the
year. These alleged unlucky days arc
selected arbitrarily oh at random by the
almanao makers , who ought to have
sense enough to leave such things out of
their book's. It would seem that Iho
weather predictions and talcs of wonder
ful cures by their medicines would bo
enough to tax the credulity oven of the
most inveterate almanac crank "

Roger A. Pryor was once very promi
nent in Virginia as a representative of
the young gouth ; but , since Ihe wars ho
has been a lawyer here in good practice.
In early Hfo he was a firo-ealcr and
duelist , Knowing that that sort of thing
was the means of advancement in his
native state. Ho had high hopes of the
confederacy , and went to Charleston lo
assist at the bombardment , of Sumptcr.
He entered the rebel army , but did not
particularly distinguish himself as a
soldier. Ho was promoted to a brigadier-
ship , but was for n long while in Richmond
mend without n command. He then en
tered a cavalry company as a private ,
and having been captured in an engage
ment in Virginia , came north , convinced
that his cau o was lost. Ho was one of
the first to be reconstructed. Ho began
as a journalist at Lynchburg. Virginia ,
beins the editor of tlie Southsido Demo
crat , Aflerwaul he wrote for the Wash
ington Union , and ids article expressing
sympathy with Russia at the outbreak of _
the Crimean war , in which he antici
pated the feeling of his country , led lo
his resignation. Ho next edited the
Richmond South , advocating extreme
pro-slavery views. His challenge to John
F. Potter , M. C. , from Wisconsin , and his
refusal to fight with bowie knives is still
widely remembered. He was conspicu
ous in the Hcechor trial a.s ono of the
counsel for Tilton , and went to England
to defend ouo of the Irish assassins , but
did not address the jury , learning that it
would hurt his client. 'Pryor has ability
and many good qualities. He is tall
erect , well formed , with an aquiline nose ,
dark hair , worn lyug , and lustrous eyes ,
looking far younger than ho is. He is si
.staunch d-mocrat , and hopes to be sent
to congress ere long.
