A dispatch from Chicago says: More
complications have arisen over the sale OF
Christian Endeavor tickets by the Erie road,
and this time they are OF a nature to threat
en- the regular tariff rates between Chicago
and New York and Boston. The Erie. hav-
ing in some manner run out OF the regular
Christian Endeavor excursion tickets. sold
about 80 tickets of another form to people
asking for excursion tickets, and quite a
number OF them found their way into the
hands of brokers-the latter part OF the
transaction, however, through no fault of
the Erie people. The brokers. who have for
several days been using every pretext to
break the market. were not at all slow in
letting it be known that they had become
possess ed of the Erie tickets, and imme-
diatel, a storm arose. Vice Chairman Dom
aid. OF the Central Traffic Association. was
at once overwhelmed with protests against
the action of the Erie, and demands were
promptly made on him for relief under the

now all the Eastern roads out or chicago

to the Christian Endeavor convention. The
Erie people claimed that the sale or the

was learned that any OF the tickets were IN
the hands of scalpers they made every ef-

A RECENT census bulletin shows
that the proportion of owners OF
farms and homes to the renters of
such property is much larger among
women than men. Forty-six men out
of every hundred own their homes,
while the other fifty-four are tenants
who pay rent. On the other hand,
for every forty-two women who rent
the farms or homes which they oc-
cupy there are tifty-eight who own
the premises they live in. undoubt-
eddy a large proportion of women
have been given homes by their hus-
bands and parents, thus. partly ac-
counting for the figures in the census.

Written By J. S. 4uiNs, ,siour city, Io,co

Written J,i J. s.. bills, ,SioAG City, Iotca,
The angel of death has come
To claim one of our greatest men;
A man whose life has been devoted
To the betterment and uplifting of his race,
A man who was born slave,
And who, little by little, had become
One of the worlds greatest men,
Such was the Hon. Frederick Douglass
He was the Moses of the Negro slaves.
Born In the midst of slavery, he became
The prophet and interceder OF the Negro
race:
And In the darkness of those gloomy days,
He saw in the far off distance
The coming of noble and intelligent race,
A race that has been for centuries
Melted out to and despised by all mankind
Harrassed and Kissed at by angry mobs,
He plainingly trudged along,
While many a person with a weaker
determination
Would have faltered and turned away.
But he believed the Maker OF all mankind
In time would make all things right.
He knew that no man could bring the
change
| That was so desired by most human
! mankind.
| And thus he waited, hoped and prayed.
! Sometimes. perhaps, his faith was shaken
| In what seemed to him his Makers long
! delay.
| But when that great day came,
| When the North and South met ON the
| battle field
| Douglass was one of the foremost men
| In wanting the Negro to be on the field.
/ For he believed THAT he who would be
free must strike the blow himself "
/ And when the war was over
And victory crowned the Union side,
/ Douglass was a prominent figure IL
debating
| What should be done with the freedman.
| He put his best efforts to this great task,
| And had the satisfaction of seeing
4 The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
| passed.
| 1t was then he realized part of his hopes
| and ambitions
When the sad news went throughout the
| land
| That Douglass, the Statesman, orator anc
| freedman,
| Had died at his home on Anacostla Height:
/ There was mourning all through the land
/ FOR he was loved and respected by al
/ mankind
| He leaves a race who will forever
| Do homage to his sacred memory,
! And the name and deeds of Douglass
! VIII forever remain in the minds OF men

Willis D. Morton was arrested and
brought back to this city from Cedar
Rapids on the charge of embezzlement
preferred against him by his father.
1t is alleged that he sold some properly
belonging his father for which $500
was paid, Mr.. Morton, Sr., has not
seen any of the money. Willis Morton
also alleges that the deed to him was
bona tde. The father Of MIR. Morton
is a man over 20 years old and has had
precarious existence ever since the
property was sold and he came to Des
Moines. He spent the vigor OF his man
hood in buying a home and educating
his children. There does not seem to
be any way in which Willis Morton can
command either sympathy or respect.
