The Best Way to Mourn.

A pretty young woman sat in a seat of q
railway car all aloEe. Fer eyes were tear
swollen and red, and her whole appearance
indicated that she was in some grave sor-
row. Her bags and wraps and umbrella,
all her travelling impedinienta, were tum-
bled about her In the most uncared for and
haphazard way. Her whole being was con-
centrated in being just as wretched as she
knew how. A few stations farther on a
young man came into the car and joined
her. Evidently he was her brother His
quiet face showed that he, too, had a share
in her grief. AS soon as she saw him she
broke into sobs, and would have thrown
herself into his arms. But he set her gen.
tly aside. wait minute, Nettie," he said,
''till fix you up bit"
Then he picked up her bags and slowed
them under the seats. and put her boxes
and umbrella in the rack, and folded up
her wraps neatly After that he took off
his own high hat and put on his travelling
cap, hung up his top coat, slowed his own
luggage safely away, she watching him all
the while with an air of Indignant protest
that he could care for those petty things
AT such time. And when at last every
thing was ship shape and tidy he sat down
beside her and said kindly: "Now, dear,
you can cry all you like, and be comforta-
BILE about it, too"
And she did cry little. BIT somehow
things didn't look half so bad as they did
before Tom came, and in an hours time
she was as composed as any other woman
in the car.
Yet how indignant she would have been
if any one had limited that her misery had
anything TO do with bags and boxes and

A DeeD-DYed Villain

Capt. Fl. c. cleveland, of the Manu-
facturers' Mutual Insurance company of
Moline, which held policy on the barn
of Chas. Cushman. at Carbon Cliff, and
fired by Al. Evans. the son,in,law, on
Sunday, Aug. II. has succeeded in un>
earthing a villainous and diabolical
scheme on the part of Evans. 1t was to
exterminate the entire family with the ex,
ceptiOn of little girl, beginning with his
wife, then Cnshman and his wife and then
to burn everything on the premises and
finally wind up by ending his own mIser-
able existence. Not only the barn, but
the house near by, which was rescued by
the merest accident, was to be burned to
the ground. 1t is fortunate thing that
a man of Evans murderOus and destruc,
tive instincts is safely lodged in the coun-
ty Jail, when he comes out of which il
1t will be to start to the penitentiary.
Capt. Cleaveland does not believe there is
any ground whatever for the insanity
dodge.

Hrs Great Qualities.

''Give us the zeal. the perseverance, the
srdor, the indefstigable, able tenacity and
stern sense of duty of a man like Gest, "
says the newly found champion in burst
Of eloquence with fine phrensy rolling.
The splendid qualities set forth are too
various and too noble to he fully realized
at a moments thought.
There is no one who knows Mr.. Gest
who will not accord him his due. No
sensible person would in any way attempt
to manufacture aught against him. His
good qualities are known; his weaknesses
are the common lot. All of his inten.
tons may be of the best, morally, So
cially and even politically. But in the
latter case it is the attempt to make the
square pin fit the round hole. He is not
made of that sterner stuff that is reaui-
site to do battle In congress Here his
weakness lies. and no people are more
aware OF the painful fact than those who
live in this district Neither will it do
to beg the question by saying that his
successor could or would do no better.
That remains to be seen. He could
hardly do worse. That is another pain
full fact.
But why permit ones self to fall into a
rhapsody like the quotation given above ?
The zeal of Mr. Gest is best known to
himself. He has never taken anyone
into his confidence regarding it. 1t may
with him be latent quality requiring
exercise or cultivation. To be useful 1t
must be put in practice. This he has
failed to do, unless in self-consuming
way.
Perhaps he has been persevering, and
perseverance. We are told will accomplish
the desired end. The sorry part of it is
that this laudable quality sscrlbed to Mr..
Gest has accomplished so little. And
what of his srdor2 In what manner has
he displayed his warmth? Has he drawn
the attention of congress TO him by bis
impetuosity? Has he given men cause
to think by his intensity of persistence
that he was deadly in earnestly Men win
by such methods even without the aid of
eloqueDce. Has he outlined his object
and then pursued it with that zeal and
srdor and perseverance he would be apt
to devote to his personal affairs? And
Mr.. Gest may have very stern sense of
duty but has he tarned it to practical ac>
count? A dying man on bed of sick
ness may have a similar feeling. and of
the highest order, but of what avail ex-
cept TO himself?
Why not sum the matter up honestly
Mr.. Gest is serving his second term in
congress. He must have found himself
long ago unequal to the occasion. He
may have ardently desired to do his duty
but must have found that he could not
cope with the situation. II is no fault of
his that he wants another term. His
personal interest will outweigh his
patriotism. The needs of the district
must give way TO his own ambition. In
this, no doubt, he is very human and no
better nor worse than other men. But
the whole matter can be summed I'D in
this: MIR. Gest is very weak man in
Washington. Let him be retired.

That's What Counts.

The Davenport Democrat says:
1T would pay Davenport today to ex-
pend $4,000 in advertising. That amount
looks large, but it is really insignificant
when compared with what other cities of
similar size and smaller resources are do
ing" That sum does look insignificant
IN comparison with what Sioux CITY is
doing. An expenditure of Sc, 900 is only
side-show in Sioux City.-Sioux City
Journal
Everyone who is acquainted with Sioux
CitY's phenomenal growth and prosperity
in recent years knows that it is due alone
to the judicious methods of advertising
employed. and that the city is what it is, is
attributable to large extent to that fact,
coupled with an enterprising spirit on the
part of its citizens such as is not held in
check by the necessity of expanding a
few dollars in the accomplishment of a
worthy purpose. Advertising paws in all
pursuits of human endeavor, and it paws
most assuredly in building up cities.
