Lolls around on a rattan eivan!
Every spot
Awfully hot;
Doesn't care whether Ee dies or not.
The small boy,
Full of joy,
Finds much fun without alloy;
In the stream
White limbs gleam;
To him life seems no more dream.
Boy secs man,
On divan;
Wishes that he could have fan,
And lie at ease OH cool rattan.
Man sees boy
Splash with icy
Wishes hc could his time employ
Bobbing around in the stream so coy.

Ioylls OF Iowa,

On one Of the sloppy days OF last
week, as The BEE was on the rounds,
came something of q whirr Into the
flow of water down Main street, q
Charles Algernon Swiuburne refrain,
q what that author would call lulling
lullaby--vide licet:
"List, the lushy drip, drip, dripping
From the roof and weather stripping;
Twig the torrents tumid twitter,
Hear the schoolgirls teasing litter
At the fall of the down'sitter.
See the surges swell and sally
Out Of ~crevice, nook and alley,
Look! the streets are all O fl latin'-
Deep enough to sail O boat in
No slack water navigation,
No effete appropriation,
Needs this seething inundation.
Shades! Oh, shades of Eli Perkins!
Talk of fl Dating kegs and frKins!
Tell of lakes of lurid lava,
Indian foods in distant Java,
But, OBJ, don't pretend to have a.
Tongues to tell of all the trouble,
Toll and tumult, foam and bubble,
All the mud and slush and splashing,
Surging, foaming, seething, dashing,
Foaming, squirting, spouting, slashing.
Floods Of Council Bluffs"
The next morning Boreas was howl.
ing, the mercury had gone to sleep In
the bottow of the tube, and as the re-
porter took his morning walk the
swaying branches of the trees mp In
the glens were ~rehearsing a monody
like this:
"Gone's the gurgle from the gutter,
Mute's the murmuring waters mutter,
Comes again the graceful cutter
Through the streets.
8 Frigid winters frozsn letters
Turns the sidewalks to upsetters,
Tripping creditors and debtors
From their feet"

Mr.. Wolf, the man alluded to in our
last as being nearly killed by some one,
has since died. He was a horrid
sight. His face turned black at death.
The upper and front part of his skull
was crushed and his lower jaw broken.
The city authorities buried the corpse,
as he had no relatives here and his
neighbors knew nothing about him, it
seems. He had no family. He leaves
good farm % miles from town.
Suspicion points strongly to stranger
who disappeared the night of the
tragedy.

rock has been found in the James riv-

be in operation. The deposits are
wide spread. Among those whose
land has been found to have the rock,
is John Hardy, of Clifton. Also, we
believe, N. B. Wilkinson. The dry
weather injured the crops, but they
were reduced not more than one third
in the above locality.
