wild speculation. 1t was not much of a
success as there were not cows enough in
the whole valley available to keep 1t run

control, by running II on better business
principles he was bringing 1t up to good
paying standard. The plant first cost $3.50,
and to this had been added new machinery

Pretty, very pretty! Oh, we'll played, all

That was what was audible at the tennis
court yesterday afternoon.
There il an idea prevalent that the audi

who listened yesterday and noted the
plays that got the glad hand can UNDER

does know pretty we'll that there is dis

The upper half Of the stand was the
pitchers half and the lower division was
Treeman's corner, but on occasion the
whole auditorium woke up and oheered
and stamped impartally as really fine
play appealed to them.
The match nevertheless was rather dis
appointing. If Freeman was IN bad form,
II was noe qe.se bad enough, for he had no
trouble In winning his match from the
challenger, with plenty to spare. Free

Picher thought groans enough. Nobody
can accuse him Of lack of earnestness.
Even when the match was within point or

ments Disclosed I'm Dubuque
and Jones Counties.

For the past two years the farmers
of Cascade township, Dubuque county,
and Richland township, Jones county,
adjoining, have been missing all kinds
of farm implements. Every effort to
gain clew to the guilty party seemed
unavailing, and the wholesale lar
ceny continued without interruption.
But the mystery as to where their
stolen articles have gone has been
cleared up, and at the same time one
of the greatest fences" in this part
of the country has been broken up.
The officers of Jones county have
been suspicious of the Youssee prem
ises, in Richland township, that coun-
ty, near Cascade, for some time, and
Sheriffs Arnold and Babcock made a
raid upon the place. The raid revealed
an astounding state of affairs. Nearly
100 persons have already identified ar
ticles found there as stolen from them.
Among the various articles were
lamps, wheels, hay forks, crowbars,
plows, mason's tools and farm imple-
ments of all kinds. In fact, nearly
everything that has disappeared in
Richland and Cascade townships for
the past two years was found there.

FOR LOVE OF HER.


The long, long day had saddened into night
And summers thousand voices all were
dumb,
Ny heart despairing with the waning light.
Because she did not come.
The troubled sea had soboed itself to sleep,
Like some sad child who missed its moth
er's care;
The trees bowed low as II they. too. would
weep
Because she was not there.
a tender cloud hid the moons sorrowing,
Earth's sluggish pulse with longing was
astir;
I wondered II the birds would wake and
sing
While yet they wanted her.
The moon burst forth from out Its hiding
place,
Across the sky the glad stars traced her
name,
"A drowsy lily upward turned its face,
And then-she came! She came!
