JESSE .AMES.

The notorious desperado, murderer
md outlaw is dead and buried. His
remains were turned over to his friends
and his funeral would have done credit
20 the Governor of the State. Sheriffs
and officers were his pail bearers and
two ministers otliciated. His mother
bewailed his fate, but thought he was
better off in heaven than here i'll this
cruel world. while she execrated those
who despatched him. No tears for the
Innocent victims he has murdered.
No weeping for the conductor ekiiled
on the Winston train. No tears for
the thirty-two invalid soldiers lie help
ed to murder in cold blood at Centralia,
No., in 1861, and no tears for the forty
eight other victims murdered at the
same time. No tears for Haywood,
the Northliald bank cashier, whom lie
probably shot, though the honor of that
killing, we believe, is by some given to
Charley Pitts.
Glorify the dead and accursed robber
and murderer! Who cares for the inno-
cent blood lie has shed? Missouri! put
on black and wear Grape for a year.
Sit in sack cloth and ashes, for your
great fiend, he who made your State
famous, has gone to his Hades. Put
his life in the hands Of your children
and tell them to emulate his example
and to avenge his fate-en innocent

GREEN'S LARGER HISTORY OF THE

Larger history of the English People,. ,
Fairly ranking with Macaulay's great
work in the absorbing interest Of its
narrative, it excels that in its adapta.

the entire period of English history,
from the earliest to modern times, i'll
stead Of 4 brief portion as does Macaul-
ay. 1t richly deserves a place in the

IF thR comet that, WAS 1iSpnvo

If the comet that was discovered by
young astronomer in Albany two
weeks ago fulti's half the promises
made for it, we may expect to behold,
in May or June, u celestial spectacle
such AS has not been equaled since 1858
or 1911. This comet, although some
zoe: o00, 600 miles from its perihelion,
which it vii! not reach for three

saying that his road would he extended
from Spirit Lake to Sioux Falls the
present season. This road now has
track down to 4 point about twenty
miles southeast OF Spirit Lake, and the
grading nearly completed. Sioux Falls
is 80 miles little northwest of Spirit
Lake. There is room for a road in the
| north tier Of Iowa counties west of the
Des Moines river, but it is supposed
that the Northwestern would be built.

THE DESMOINEs 4 FORT DODGE.
Work upon the Northern extension
of the Des Moines Il Fort Dodge road
will commence as soon as the weather
will permit, and rapidly lie pushed for
ward to completion. The company is
now hard ut work obtaining the right
of way through Palo Alto Co. 1t will
probably cross the &. NJ. & st. Paul
railroad at Ruthyen, thence through
the northeast corner Of Clay county to
Spirit Iake.-Spel Ger Reporter.
This road is part of the great Wa
bash or Jay Gould system which is
pushing its way into the Northwest.
Where it will strike out from Spirit
Lake, we have no intimation, but with
the prospect of Worthington becoming
the railroad center Of this part of the
country, we predict that the Wabash
will strike through here.
THE SPIRIT LAKE 4 WESTERLY.
The surveyors for the Spirit Lake l.
Western r. II. got their line to within
two miles of Sibley last Friday night.
They finished running the line and
struck the track of the &. St. +. Al. II
y. Il. r. about $50 feet north of the
wafer tank Just before noon on Satur-
day. Yhis route in entering town is,
however, subject to changes, and will
be run q little further south so as to
strike the railroad track between the
railroad windmill and the water tank.
Although this crossing will not be as
good as the one north of the tank, it is
necessary to be made in order to avoid
crossing the switches of the St. Paul
road.
At 8 O'Clock on Monday morning the
party started ont to continue
the survey OF the line as far rs the Big
Stone river. and will strike it but few
miles south of Sioux Falls. In running
this line they will strike the Little
Rock ut a point not far from directly
west Of Sibley. Of course they are steer

not they win take in hardwood on
their way to Sioux Falls is a matter not
yet determined.-S:bley Gazette.

The Discouraged Man.

A newspaper once contained an ad-
vertisement for a man to fll certain
position, which concluded with No
discouraged man need apply" There
was deep worldly wisdom in this, for
encouragement is terrible drawback
in AghLiug life's battle. The disCoura-
ged man is defeated iu advance. He
carries failure about with him he faints
when be needs most 10 be strong; he
falters where decision is most needed ;
he halts where be ought to hurry for :
ward he cannot stand up under the
strain and burden Of the race. 1t Is
hard that it should be so-harder still
that 80 little real symatphy IS felt for
encouragement. The world does not
need such man, aud has little mercy
for HIN and so he falls into the ranks
Of the unsuccessful, while he Of high
hope, who is yet new iu the struggle,
who has not supped the bitter cup OF
disappointment and found out that all
Is vanity aud vexation, strides before
him aud is accepted where the muc n
tired man fails. There is something
contagious in a buoyant. happy, ener'
getlc spirit, which carries those who
come III contact with it away, aud sue
cess is as often the result Of this strong
animal force as OF perseverance and con
tinued effort. All the experience in the
world will not carry the man OF deep
discouragement successfully through an
enterprise.
