DEATH OF MRS. CLARK.

The special prominence which has
been given in the mention of Hon.
John Clark in recent events will draw
the particular attention of many to the
great bereavement which has fallen
upon him in the death of his beloved
and estimable wife; though her demise
at any time, aside from the incident
of the frequent presentation of Mr.,
Clark's name to the public the past
few weeks, would have called forth the
sympathy of the entire community.
and of very many people throughout
this and adjoining states. where in his
capacity as a successful business man
and upright citizen Mr.. Clark is so
well known and highly esteemed, and
where Mrs. Clark has a host of friends
by whom she was beloved. For more
than forty years she has been resi-
dent of this city. performing nobly the
duties that have rested upon her as
faithful, devoted wife and mother. in
the struggles incident to the building
up Of this part of the great West. Her
character has shone brightly in the
domestic circle and in the other assoc
Citations of life, in the influence for
good which her example has welded.
For years she has been a sufferer from
the ailment which caused her death,
and while her passing to rest is q relief
from the pangs OF illness. she leaves
a circle where pure love and perfect
confidence were her portion, and where

With the advent Of steam power for
navigation purposes, inventive genius
was naturally directed away from the
sails and rigging Of ships and towards
the protection Of the machinery that
almost entirely took the place of the
canvas. There has therefore, in later
years been very little Improvement or
change in that respect. Sailing ves-
sells are today very much as they were
fifty years ago or more.
II Is therefore noteworthy that just
now an inventor has conceived the
idea of constructing a new kind Of SAY,
which, If found satisfactory, undoubt-

THE BEST GOVERNMENT.
To the Edition:

To the Editor;
The very best form Of government
is that where all the people are united
heart and soul for the best interests
OF the community. That is the ulti-
mate form of good government
Union, not division and contention.
That is the kind of government we
used to have in this city, to as large
an extent perhaps as anywhere on the
earth. The result was. the city was
kept out of debt and the taxes were
Iowa low percentage on a low assess
ment.
About eight years ago craftsmanship
of the rankest kind, partisan govern
ment with a vengeance, came in, and
with it a great deal of corruption and
reoklessness. Partisan government is a
very poor secondrate kind of govern
ment, ii indeed, 1t Is worthy Of being
rated so high as that. 1t is the gov
ernment of grab, n government often of
the stealing, Doodle, and bankrupting
order. But II Is about the best that
the civilization of the day seems to be
able to think of or to be capable of
establishing and carrying out. | al
ways QlHllktl II. / ne rtSulL OF lflhI klUtl
OF government here for n very few
years is that the city is swarnped in
debt and the taxes are enormous-a
high percentage of high assessment,
and citizens are losing their homes
every year in consequence. In many
Instances taxes are higher than the
rents for the same property.
Haven't we had enough of this sort
Of things? Yes, more than enough. Just
think of it--a government in which
one-half OF the people are trying to
carry 1t out according to their partisan
ideas, and the other half are pulling
the government and its acts all to
pieces! How exceedingly silly that isl

throughout the country. Why should

is PARTIsANIsM NECESSARY .?

Thousands of tourists annually visit
this city. and they listen with SYM
pathy and wonder to the tale of It's
founding and building, up to recent
years. When they are told OF the march
its founders made. over wilderness and
desert, Of It's beginning In the form 10:
n log and adobe fort, n thousand miles
from the nearest civilized settlement;
of Its rapid expansion resulting from
the arrival of hosts Of refugees; and
particularly when they are informed of
the manner in which it was governed
for the first few decades of it's exist
ence, they are filled with admiration
for the good sense and other ~rond
qualities OF the men who created It,
Lands were surveyed and parcelled
out to the settlers under just and
wholesome regulations; streets Were
laid out and improved; homes We're
built, orchards were planted and
gardens were cultivated; costly irri-
cation works were constructed, public
buildings were erected, and public i'm
provements We're made; the city grew to
large proportions, and was remarkably
peaceful and we'll governed; barring u
trihing nonting debt, the city seldom or
never owed dollar
The period of the city's growth
here referred to covered the years Of
the deepest poverty and distress Of it's
inhabitants; the years during which
their burdens often seemed greater than
they could bear. Yet, strange TO say,
their city taxes are not now
remembered as u cause Of dis
tress to them, even when
the inhabitants of the city gen
orally were so poor that they lacked
the necessaries of lifc. Probably It
would be the unanimous testimony Of
as many of the original settlers OF this
city, who stnl live in It, as could be
gotten together, that they never felt
the burdens OF taxation In the days OF
their greatest penury, and lack OF
llfe's comforts and necessaries, as they
have felt them since their property was
esteemed to be very valuable.
The assessed valuation Of the proper
ty in this city compared with the num-
Der OF It's inhabitants, makes it appear
to be a wealthy city; yet since it be-
came wealthy It's Inhabitants have
groaned under the burdens of taxation
as they mover did when required to
sustain government out Of the reve-
nues derived from an assessed vnlua-
ton not tenth as high as the present

woslrN AND LABOR.

II has always been regarded MS q
mark of low civilization when n people
permits its women to engage In heavy
labor, such as is generally supposed TO
belong to the opposite sex. Thus for
instance, when Il tiller of the soil in
oriental countries makes his wife help
their donkey to pull the primitive pillow
In use there. n spectator from the west
naturally turns away disguised, and
the impression is that barbarism still
prevails there. Among the aborigines
of Africa and America, in fact every
where outside the boundaries of the
highest civilization, the woman's fate
seems to be to work hard. to do more
than her share sometimes of procur-
ing the necessaries of life.
Civilization has emancipated woman
in this regard and assigned to her n
sphere of usefulness more in harmony
with her nature 1t has given her
supremacy in the family circle and left
with her the responsibility of making
home all that the sweetest place on
earth should be.
1t would come nearer the truth,
though, to say that civilization has
aimed at doing this. For it appears
as n fact that even in the United
States the number of women engaging
in more or less masculine labor is year.
ly increasing. The census labor bull
letln No 80 shows that the percentage
in the increase since 1880 of women en-
gagged in manufacturing and mechan-
lcal Industries is nearly GO per cent.
There are now no less than 100000
women In this country engaged In
various occupations, as pilots, sailors,

and skaters and so on. At this rate of
increase and with the advent of all
sorts of devices for making manual la

before the highest civilization and the
lowest barbarism present this common
feature of the women engaged in la

our civilization. or is 1t only another

regular aud sound sleep is one OF the
best means of Strengthening the nerv-
GUS system. Unfortunately many peo-
pie seem to regard sleep as something
to be put of as long as possible. and
they continue work. or feasts, balls or
other entertainments far Into the
night, thereby virtually shortening
their lives. The distinct voice Of ma
ture is sllenced by the desire for
money, or for amusement or perhaps
notoriety There would be less of this
violation of natures laws. II the pen
atty were better understood.
Then very often the hard worker
who perhaps takes holiday n week
or two a year finds but little rest dur
ing these days intended for recreation.
The reason is that the change from
work to rest is too sudden, and this is
believed to be as Injurious TO the
nerves as a sudden plunge into mental
work after a period of inactivity The
very best recreation is that which is
commanded in the old law. to rest one
day after six days work, and to make
patton OF the mind than mental
blank. That strengthens the nervous
system and keeps it always ready for
activity. After a period of absolute
idleness 1t is often found that 1t re-
quires great effort to como into work.
ing order again, at least equal to the
exertlon needed for continuous labor.
The day of rest then fails to give rest.
There is probably no rule that can
be applied universally. People are not
equally endowed with powers of re-
slstance and endurance any more than
they are with the good things of the
earth. One has great capital of
| strength while others are poor. and
between the two extremes there are
all possible grades. Each one must
therefore by experience find out just
what he can endure of work.of amuse-
ment, OF food and then endeavor to
live according TO his means, SO to
speak. our age is fun of excitement
and nervous complaints. The latter
can be counteracted only by a life
more In accordance with the divine
law Of nature.

.rssoN OF THE GREEK WAR.


I,ie crown prince of Greece whom the
people have held responsible for many
Of the calamities OF the last war with
Turkey, has not yet deemed 1t safe to
return to Athens, but remains at Agia
Marina To newspaper reporter who
visited him recently, he said that the
reason why the Greeks We're defeated
was chiefly the fact that they lacked
discipline and organization. He says
he knew this before his departure TO
Thessaly. but he went there more for
the purpose of preventing hostilties
than to encourage them. The men. he
says, fought WELL but only as lndi-
viduals; they were not soldiers, The
officers had not learned to command.
ana he himself did not have the neces-
sary experience to lead an army.
The crown prince expressed the
opinion that Greece now needs n COM
plete reorganization of the army, and
that II must be required of the officers
to take no part whatever in politics,
The unfortunate Greek commander
in-chief has evidently learned that in
modern warfare individual bravery
and patriotism avail but little II not

versed in the stern science of war. II
| the Greeks had had Bismarck among
her statesmen they would have ex-
perimented on weaker neighbors, and
postponed the attack upon the numerl-
cally stronger Turks until they knew
that they could put Into the field tried
veterans and experienced officers. The
lesson has cost the country n good deal
but perhaps 1t was worth the price

for individuals, to be taught moi to
put too high q value on their own
