A SAD CASE.

Samuel Garlitz, of Caldwell, appeared
In probate court this morning, asking
that some disposition be made of four of
his sons, whom he was unable to keep.
Some five or six years ago the entire
family of five boys were Frustrated with
brain fever and they have never since
recovered their wits, arising from their
sick beds as idiots. Their mother has
since died and the duty of providing for
the entire family rests upon their aged
father. The boys, the oldest of which is
now q years of age. while the youngest
is 10, require constant watching, and have
always been a hindrance rather than a
help to their father in his endeavors to
provide the daily bread. Feeling that
the task is too great for him, Mr.. Gar
litz has at last consented to follow the
advices of friends, and brought four of
the boys up before Judge Sanders this
morning. AS they were not lunatics,
the judge could not order them sent to
the asylum, and his only resort was to
consign them to the poor house, whittier
they were taken at once. The father
will keep the eldest son at home. Such
mistortunes are seldom met with, and
Mr.. Garlitz has the sympathy of all who
are acquainted with his sad history

Another Martyr Hero.

Kansas City Gazette.
The Rev. Father Damien, of the Sand
witch islands, died of leprosy April 10,
1889. For the last sixteen years this
priest labored faithfully among the lepers
at Molokai, when he knew full we'll that
the result would be death. Leaving the
joys of refined society behind him, and
in abe prime of a vigorous manhood,
this Christian martyr betook himself to
the line of duty and fell. How paItry
and insignificant are the mere creed of
men! We read of the leper in the Oldest
and the best of books, and IL is as fatal
now as it was when Christ walked the
earth and said to one of them on mem
orable occasion, BE thou clean" This
is a disease Of the warm climates and is
unknown in the temperate or frigid
zones, and when once contracted it
means death slowly and surely to the
victim. The point we wish to empha-
size is, that when the occasion demands
it heroes are found in the latter as well
as the former days. No denomination
of Christian people has monopoly of
them, and the yellow fever infection of
our own country has proved the truth
of the proposition.

Some Curious Statistics.
ON the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
In 1884 there were 100000 people in
this country, and about $4,000 more
males than females. That was only be-
cause more males were born; the females
live the longer. OF the centenarians,
400 were men and 2,607 were women.
The boys start out nearly 1,00O,0 900 ahead
and are in the majority until the six
teenth year, when the girls are little
more numerous. Sweet 16 is a numer-
GUS age anyhow. After that, first one
and then the other is in the majority,
and the girls, gradually gaining after SO
and leaving the men far behind after 70.
There are some interesting facts about
the old people. The native whites con-
stitute about three-fourths Of the entire
but have only one-seventh of
the centenarians. The colored is only
of the whole population, but
has three fourths of the centenarians.

Then for the first time got on my bicycle

There are several ways Of falling off a
bicycle. Some are easier than others, but
when you start to fall you don't nave d
chance TO stop and reflect about how you
want TO light, but you just keep right on
falling, and if there are any reflections TO
be made you make them after you have

The Chicago Times favors the reloca-

Iowa. 1t is incomprehensible that Chi
cago should not have been mentioned in
this connection. This reminds us of a
remark recently attributed TO General
Sherman, that the most desirable loca-
ton for the capital he knew was the old
city of Nauvoo on the Illinois side of the
Mississippi. The taste and forethought
of the Mormons in the selection of all
their temple sites has never been excelled
by any founders of cities. Now that the
question is up again for discussion "the
most eligible sites and proper loca-
tons" will bob up on every hand. Mean

the most gorgeous silver plates and re-

costing from 1900 to $4,000 apiece and
very ordinary affairs fetch $500. The
costliest silks and satins and laces are
obtained for Innings, and several sorts of
patent metallic caskets of great durability
are manufactured There are dealers in

AN INDIANS GALL.

From the tenor of our dispatches yes
MaYes proposes, in so far as he can, to
defeat the government and the people in
the movement to open the Cherokee strip
to settlement. This man Mayes, while
chief of the Cherokees, is also a member
of the cattle syndicate and he plays his
position in the interest of his fellow cat
tie owners. When this man Mayes was
told by the senate committee last winter
that the Cherokee people would receive
vastly more money from the interest on
the purchase price of the strip of 1875
an acre than they were now receiving
from the cattle men, he put in the OBJ
lection that very large per cent of the
strip if held and sold as a trust
by this government wouldn't bring S1.25
an acre or at least that it would be many
years before anybody would take it at
such a price. This was before the pass
age of the bill which authorizes the i'm
mediate payment Of $1.25 by the govern
ment for the entire seven million acres.
The truth undoubtedly Is that this man
Mayes is making more, personally, out of
the cattle syndicate than he could make
even if the strip was sold for 500 per
acre.
1t was clearly shown before the senate
committee last February that the Chero-
KEGS have no title to the lands of the
Cherokee strip and that people ought to
be given to understand that if the $1.25
is not accepted that they will in all
probability never get anything.

BAD BREEDING.

From the Davenport Ia.) Democrat-Gazette.
Science gives high compliment to
the United States care of the swine of
the country when it asserts that the
government has paid more money in the
investigation of porcine diseases, and to
prevent and cure the same, than it has to
investigate the diseases that affect the
human family. But what shall we cen
clude of the economy that supplements
the breeding of criminals and the hope
lessly diseased and the morally leprous
by allowing their diseases to remain as
multiplying forces to disintegrate sooi-
ETY. and degenerate the human stock?
Even here in Iowa it is noticed that
marriages among the deaf and dunn are
producing deaf and dumb, that idiots
are begetting idiots, that consumptive
parents are bringing consumptive chill
dren into the world to suffer and fill
early graves. Is this going on forever?
Are we to get SO wrought up over rail-
road fares and hog diseases that we can't
look into hnman sanitation now and
then? The economic tendencies of the
average legislator are to be commended,
as rule, but thas our government has
been unwisely stingy and dangerously
careless concerning scientific investiga-
ton bearing on the health and improve
ment Of the American people is certain.
