Ihough late Spring like a miser kept
Much wealth Of bloom,
And boarded half her treasures up
In Winters tomb
Yet meath the sway
or queenly May
Earth seems the richer for dalav,
Spring has grown bountiful at last.
Her penitence was wrought
In ralndrops ringed With fragile gold -
The tears that April brought;
With reformation sweet
In vernal grace complete,
She laws her gifts at Summers feet.

Supervisors in Arms

Scott county supervisors are up in
arms over the destruction wrought
recently to county bridges by steam
thrashing machines Another thrash
er outfit broke through the deck of n
bridge the other day. and this time
the whole outfit fell clear through into
the dry bed of the creek. The acci-
dent happened in Lost Grove, or near
there. The bridge is n 35-foot lat
tice truss iron structure, the first
iron bridge built in the county. 1t
has carried steam thrashers for sew
eral years, it is said. but this time it
gave way beneath its load. The dri-
Yer of the engine went down with
his machine and was bruised and
scalded. His injuries are not fatal,
and not actually serious, but they
are bad enough to retire him from
the business for some time The su-
pervisOrs have been in consultation
! upon the matter. The Iowa statute
provides certain regulations for the
handling of such machines on all
bridges in the state. and it is pro-
| posed to make an example of these
men if it is found that the law has
not been complied with in this case.
In addition to the liability for pecu-
cuniary damages, the man who breaks
a bridge when not complying with
the law is subject to fine or impris-

ScrimInage at IA Reception.

The reception rendered to Rev. W.
r. Alexander by his people at the A.
NJ. F.. church. in Moline. on Tuesday
night was well attended. Shortly
before the close, however, a fracas
occurred which upset the enjoyment
of the occasion and created cOnsid-
cradle excitement. 1t appears that
for some time bad blood has existed
between Mrs Alice MaXey and Miss
Mary jenkins on account of the too
marked and constant attention which
Alice's CAV hubble. win, has been
paying to Mary, and it is said that
the former lady had threatened to
punish the latter if she caught her
in her husbands society again. That
condition being fulfilled that night at
the reception. Mrs. MaXey proceeded
to carry ou the program previously
announced and there was lively
scrimmage. MaNey who was an in
terested spectator, seeing his moth
er-in-law coming up to see what was
the matter, let fly his ready fist and
hit the old lady in the eve. The
three active principals were arrested
on complaint of one of the Official
members o. the church, who Is de-
termined to put a stop to such pro-
ceedings in the church.

appeared in the neigh borhood during

John Murphy, a farmer. came into
town Yesterday with Il load of hay,
but before he made n sale he got so
drunk he didn't know whether he was
selling beer or hay. Officer Brennan
saw him and took him to the station,
fearing that he might make a para
chute leap from the load of hay. At
the station Sweet Morpheus took
him in charge, and this morning it
was almost impossible for him to tell
the difference in weight between his
head and his hay. Nevertheless JUS
tice Wei fined him S5 and costs,
which he paid.
For five long months Jack Kennedy
abstained from the use of bug juice,
and happiness reigned supreme in
his neighborhood, but about n week
ago jack evil inspiration overcame
his good traits and he proceeded to
drink all the beer in town with the
result as usual-a trunk. But if
Jack would only be peaceable
drunk it might be all right. but
he is not. When drunk. he
goes home and heaps abuse upon his
mother. This was the case yester-
day, as stated last night, and Jack
was arrested by Officer Etzel at his
home on Twenty-firot street This
morning Justice Weld bound him
over in 5000 bonds to keep the peace
for six months, and Jack then and
there swore off drinking booze for
said six months, as no one went his
bond, and next Monday he will be
tried for assault and battery pre-
ferred by his mother.

Who Can Figure IT,

This confusing postage stamp con.
undrum is at present making the
rounds of the newspaper world: "A
young lady entered a postoflice
handed in dollar bill and said that
she wanted twice as many twos as
ones and the balance in threes. The
clerk started in an off-hand way to
count out the stamps, grew per-
picked, commenced figuring, and fig
ured until he got red in the face,
when the young lady politely in
formed him that she was in q hurry
that he could figure it out and she
would call the next day for the
stamps. Now, who can figure out
the problem how many stamps were
given the young lady by the clerk
when she called the next day?"

He had made a great effort to
appear cheerful at the supper

wife detected the true situation of
affairs, and as soon as they were
alone she tenderly said:
civilian, something has upset
you"
"No, DEAR
"But I know better. Confde in
me. Tell me what is wrong"
"Well, we are ruined. To-mor-
row the sheriff will be in posses
sion of the store. We must part
with our servants, horses, dia-
monds, house, everything, and I
shall probably go to driving a
horse car"
Have you tried to raise money
to tide you over the crisis?"
everywhere, but in vain"
"How much would save you?"
"Twenty thousand dollars would
carry me through with flying
colors." :"
"Wait minute"
She ran up stairs, hastily un-
locked the bottom drawer of her
dresser, and in a moment later
stood before her wondering hus-
band with package in her hands.
"Here is $22,0oo," she said.
"Take it and meet your obligations
and save your credit"
"But-how-how," he stam-
mered.
"It is my savings" she explain
ed. "For many years you have
allowed me $40 a week to run the
table on. / have saved $S per
week right along and laid it aside
for just such an emergency. 1t is
yours. Your little tootsy wootsy
wife has saved you, and she is

And he actually kissed her and
got in from the club that night a
whole quarter of an hour before l
