Gase Her sister Away.

It was long time since they had
seen each other, and naturally enough
they had lots of real nice things to
say to each other, but her little sister
Grace was very much in the way so
to speak.
Run along to mamma, DEAR" she
said to the little one. "Tll give you
some candy II you WILL"
''No, / don't want to-"
"Ah now, please do, like good
little girl"
But I'd rather stay here"
II won't take you out driving with
me tomorrow, If you don't"
Her pleadings were in vain, and so
the little one remained. Presently
mamma came in, and the conversation
Jagged a trihe. Suddenly a thought
struck little sister.
Say" she asked, what did you
want me to go to mamma for little
while ago?"

Golfers in tho South.

Although golf may be played all
through the winter, as has been the
case at Lakewood this year, many
ardent golfers prefer to follow the
swallows south Of Mason and Dlxon's
line. There is very smart colony at
Aiken, S. c., this year, and the links at
Hampton Roads have been played on
regularly. These latter have tho ad-
vantage Of being within reach of the
officers quarters at Fortress Monroe,
and there Is much rivalry between SOL
diers and misunderstanding.

with tennis racquet.

he questions.

II know you dance awfully well. But
the American colony talks so In We

"They have nothing better to do"
answers Dick Templeton glancing con-
temptucusly at the many idlers along
the quay.
He is too lately from college and the
active life OF American summer re-
sorts to feel himself at one with the
Americans who lead a purposeless,
care-free existence in the little Swiss
towns which dot the banks Of Lake
Geneva.
1.-THE people here do nothing" he re-
lterated, the contempt In his voice
deepening.
Some Of them study" murmurs the
widow apologetically, lowering her
parasol slightly.
Then she adds a moment later:
why do you stay here, Mr.. Templeton,
II you do not like the llfe?" Mrs. OAR
by knows the young American is stay
ing solely on her account, but she
wants him to tell her SO. AS the couple
pause to speak to group of their ac-
qualntance she is inwardly debating as
to whether she will let Dick Templeton
propose to her now or wait until to-
night at the Townsends' hop. She de-
cides 1t would better be now, as she In
tends devoting the greater part of her
evening to Senior Sevardes, handsome
Spaniard who has made love to her all
autumn in his charming, open, foreign
fashion, saying, perhaps, in his broken
but delightful English, more than he
had meant to say. He had been told
one could say anything to American
women up to a certain point, and he
found Mrs. Darby very interesting.
1t had been a new experience to Mrs.
Darby and she had grown more inter
ested in him than she would care to
own.
So as Mrs. Darby and Dick Temple
ton continued their slow promenade,
she looks up at him In evident expecta-
ton Of an answer to her last Ques-
ton.

earnestly, his eyes avoiding her face

And strugglest in the foam;
o. come and view this land Of graves,
Deaths northern sea of frozen waves,
And mark thee out thy home.
Lover of woman, whose sad heart
Wastes like q fountain In the sun,
Clings most, where most Its pain does
start,
Dies by the light it lives upon;
Come to the land Of graves; for here
Are beauty's smile, and beauty's tear,
Gather'd in holy trust;
Here slumber forms as fair as those
Whose cheeks, now living, shame the
rose,
Their glory turn'd to dust.
Lover of fame, whose foolish thought
Steals onward DER the wave OF time,
Tell me, what goodness hath 1t brought,
Atoning for that restless crime?
The spirit-mansion desolate,
And open to the storms of fate,
The absent soul in fear;
Bring home thy thoughts and come
with me, H.
And see where all thy pride must be:
Searcher Of fame, look here!
And, warrior, thou with snowy plume,
That goest to the bugles call,
Come and look down; this lonely tomb
Shall hold thee and thy glories all.
The naughty brow, the manly frame,
The daring deeds, the sounding fame.
Are trophies but for DEATH
And millions who have toiled like thee,
Are stay'd, and here they sleep; and
see,
Does glory lend them breath2

Our article of last week entitled,
"A Bit of History" attracted con-
siderable attention aud several
have been in to tell us facts of IN
terest, from which we gather the
following:
Mr.. B. J. Bailey was the first one
to work on the incline, grading
and building it and he and Capt.
Frater, Of Victoria run The first trip
up. This trip was memora BILE for
it resulted in a smash-up as the
car got to going too fast and ran in
to the drum. However, it did not
turn out very seriously. The first
houses built, outside of those ais
ready in the old village of Cheek

pany around the root of the incline
and the rest of the town followed
after. The above facts have been
told US and we would like to have
more of the kind. Anything that

was a good attendance. The boxes
were all sold netting some $40 and
an elaborate program was carried
out. The peanut hunt was post

DANGER in SODA,
Serious Results sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cook
ing and washing purposes, but it was never
intended for a medicine, and people who use
it as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger:
moreover, the soda only gives temporary re-
lief and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irrltant to
the walls of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated in
The intestines, causing death by inflamma-
ton or peritonitis.
DR. Harlandson as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's DyS-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20
grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acidg, peptones and di-
gestive elements essential to good digestion,
and when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuertb states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases. of
stomach arrangements and finds them a GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strength
en- the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartic, but intended only for
stomach disease and weakness, and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

HIGHER DUTY OF SENATOR'S
0haplain's Prayer Directed Against the
Manufacturing Bill,
MEASURE IS NOT MENTIONED BY NAME
Many Petitions to the Same Eject
Are Presented in the senate
Care of Insane from
other States.

DIES MONIES, March Especial Tele-
gram)-The first legislative sessions Of the
week were held this afternoon by both
houses. The senate session was rather
e~ventful. The announcement of the passage
Of the manufacturing bill was received by
message from the house and there was APP
plausc when the clerk read the message.
A flood of petitions was received from all
over the state against the manufacturing
bill and both for and against the Temple
amendment, in which a great interest is
taken. The prayer by Rev. Mr.. Grocer of
Guthrie Center was also notable. 1t was
directed against the manufacturing bill, and
while that measure was not definitely named
the reverend gentleman made an earnest
plea that senators might be given divine
grace to appreciate that they owe a higher
duty even than that to their constituents.
The consideration OF code work brought
up the bill relating to the care of the insane.
An amendment was offered to require that
counties which send to the asylums patients
who have no residence in the state shall
pay for their support there. The present
law requires counties to pay Tor support OF
patients having residence In the county, but
the state must pay for those who have no
legal residence in the state. 1t is claimed
that Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and other
states adjoining Iowa send their insane INTO
this state and that there are now over 900
Of these alien patients in asylums supported
by the state. 1t was urged in favor Of the
amendment that it would induce counties to
be more careful in ascertaining the ante
cedents of people who were found to be
Insane If the county must pay for all who
were not residents. The border counties
made a protest and there was a long fight,
which resulted in the defeat of the amend
ment, 23 to 10. 1t is likely a motion for
reconsideration will be filed tomorrow and
the fight will be continued.
In the house, attendance was very small.
No roll call was allowed lest it should dis
close a lack of a quorum. The bill relating
to roads, bridges and ferries occupied the
time. An amendment was offered by Nor
rison of Keokuk, taking from township trus-
tees the right to ask tn lpervisors to levy
a special 1 mill road tax. 1t was still pend
ing at adjournment.
The manufacturing bill has not been con-
sidered by the senate committee. The feel
ing is growing that it will pass. Senators
Penrose, Sargent, Young, Phelps and Erick-
son, all of whom voted against it last year,
are expected to furnish the necessary votes
to pass 1t, and several others are suid Il
considering voting for 1t.

norcd Them in city Elections.
The interest awakened in the city election
at the last moments bid fair to be continued
for another week and will invest the school
election next Monday with a little more ia
terest than 1t would otherwise have had.
There was a good deal of ~loud-mouthed CON-
plant around the streets yesterday from the
professional ward workers, who were bitterly
disappointed because they were not called in
to dispense the usual amount of Doodle by
respective party managers. These states
men were predicting that both parties had
made a good start toward eternal destruction
by refusing to make use of them by giving
them the means to make use of. Hot de-
nunclations were heard from them of the
mon who had so far forgotten party fealty
and loyalty to personal friends as to overlook
their employment around the polls. Their
complaints were listened to with a good deal
of satisfaction by reputable citizens, who
looked upon the result of the ~eleetion as a
healthy sign, These men are now all look
ing forward to the school election for an
opportunity to get even with the manage -
OF both parties, and they avoW that they will
go out and work against their former friends
with no hope of any other reward than the
personal satisfaction they expect firm ii.
This may lend a little additional interest to
a contest which ought to be friendly and
nonpartisan.
The democrats yesterday found themselves
without a candidate, owing to the peremp-
tory refusal of A. Whitelaw of the Boston
store TO permit his name to be used in con
nection with the office. He was out of the
city at the time he was nominated by the
democratic convention and did not return
until Sunday. All day Monday the party
managers labored with him in a vain effort
to induce him to withdraw his opposition,
but he was s.eadfast in his declaration that
he was not running a political store and could
not consent to let his name be dragged into
politics. Yesterday the party managers met
to consult upon the situation. Another
urgent request was sent to Mr.. Whitelaw,
but 1t was without result so far as chang
ing his determination was concerned. The
committeemen then st about finding a man
to take his place on the ticket. Numerous
names were suggested, but the committee

Last Anglcbnr Laid in Kansas City.
Pittsturg AZ Gulf.

KANSAS CITY, March 2.-The last angle
bar in the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
railway, connecting Kansas Gity with
Shreveport, La, was placed in position near
Horatio, Ark, this afternoon by Robert Gill
ham, chief engineer, and the last spike
driven by President e. l.. Martin of Kansas
City. This marks the partial completion of
the scheme of the building of a railroad from
Kansas City to the gulf by which Kansas
City could become a factor in eastern freight
rate competition. A full achievement Of
this new enterprise will have been realized,
it's officials state today, by May l next, when
freight and passenger trains will be run
regularly between Kansas City and Port
Arthur Tex.
The extension Of this new line toward the
gulf was generally celebrated in Kansas City.
simultaneously with the driving of the last
spike nearly all the steam whistles in the
city united in one long and piercing salute.
Later the Third Regiment band paraded the
streets and tonight red fire was burned from
the roofs of a score Of Kansas City's biggest
buildings.
