When Buying

you want to get your moneys worth: you are

it is different with medicines; you can often

the case with Severa's Standard Family Rene

The Tranps Story.

Two we'll dressed young men seeing
Il seedy tramp in front of a saloon
asked him to take drink. When the
glasses had been filed one of them
called OH the tramp for speech. He
drank and then Strengthened himself
to his full height and said:
Gentlemen, look to night at you
and at myself and it seems TO me
look upon picture of my lost man
hood. This bloated face was once as
young and handsome as yours. This
shambling figure once walked as
proudly as yours, a man in a world of
men. 1, too, once had home, and
friends, and a position. l had a wife
as beautiful as an artists dream, and
l dropped the priceless pearl of her
honor and respect in the wine cup,
and Cleopatra-like, saw it dissolve,
and quaffed it down in the trimming
druught. had children as the flowers
of spring and l saw them fade ana
die under the blighting curse of Il
drunkard father. had home whe,e
love lit the fame upon the altar end
administered before it, and / put on;
the holy fire, and darkness and desc
lation reigned in its stead. had as
pirations and ambitions that scared
as high as the morning star, and
broke aud bruised their beautiful
wings. and ut last strangled them that
l might be tortured with their cries
no more.
To-day l am husband without a
wife, a father without a child "a tramp
without Il home to call his own, d
man in whom every good impulse is
dead. All, all swallowed up III drink. I"
The tramp ceased speaking. Tie
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again,
and when the little group about the
bar looked up the tramp was gone.

Hanna's Humanity.

Senator Thurston's speech was a
most pathetic appeal in behalf of the
the oppressed Cuban people. It's
effect was electrical, and has sent a
wave of sympathy surging over the
country.
But Senator Mark Hanna has no
sympathy for anything except market
reports and the price of bonds, and
consequently he deprecates the fact
that Senator Thurston should have
spoken at all.
In the corridor of the Arlington
Hotel Senator Hanna expressed re-
greet over Senator Proctor's speech.
He exclaimed:
Il would, / think, have gone on my
knees before him and asked him not
to speak. 1t was SO many firebrands
thrown broadcast over the country
Why should Hanna want to 20
down on his knees in an effort to
suppress the truth? Simply because
full knowledge of the truth will
affect the price of Spanish bonds.
The time has gone by for suppressing
the truth. The time is at hand when
the truth, the whole truth aud moth
ing but thestruth should be told.
Ii knowledge of the truth brings
Z war, it will be because the circum.
stances are such as to demand war,
Hanna cannot alter the facts. He
can simply express his desire to 20
down on his knees to suppress facts.
This nation caunot afford to listen
to such money grabbers and Spanish
sympathizers as Mark Hanna. HUI.
mainly and honor demand such
speeches as those delivered by
Senators Proctor and Thurston. The
truth about Cuba must be told-the
truth that shall make her Free

Allowance Reduced.


The per capita support allowance of
several state institutions has been re-
duced as follows: Hospitals for the in
sane at Independence and Mount Pleas
ant, from $14 to SIP per month; hos
pitai for the insane at Clarinda, $14 to
$13 per month; industrial school for
boys, Eldora, ten to nine dollars per
month; industrial school for girls,
Mitchellville, eleven to ten dollars per
month. Children are now admitted to
the school for the deaf in Council Bluffs
at the age of five years. This is in
creased to seven years, as it has been
found impracticable to take care of
children sent there at the age of five
years.
Not In Favor.
The bill to compel outside mutual in
surance associations to pay 2h per
cent. tax on their premium receipts in
stead of one per cent, has been re-
ported for indefinite postponement by
the senate ways and means committee,
on the ground that while it would bring
about $1,000 additional revenue to the
state treasury it would compel Iowa as
sociations to pay similar taxes in other
states to the amount of about $2s, 900.

For the last twelve months the adj
ministration newspapers have been
engaged in suppressing the facts con-
corning Spanish cruelties in Cuba.
Whenever the independent press
published dispatches in which the
truth was stated, the administration
organs have pronounced these dis
patches hes, and have INDUCED in
bitter censure of what they chose to
call sensational journalism"
Is there to be an end to this course
of suppression and detraction? The
speeches of Senators Proctor, Gal
linger and Thu rston have forced the
republican friends of Spain to admit
that the statements published by the
democratic and independent press
were true, but Senator Hanna calls
Thurston lingo" and says he
would have gone down on his knees
and prayed Thurston to remain silent
Tory sentiment dies hard. Love of
money is stronger than love of coun-
try in the hearts of Hanna and his
gang, but the truth has been told,
and it is right that 1t should be told.
What are the facts concerning the
Cubans? In answering this question
the New York World says:
According to the best evidence
the World can get, according to the
testimony of Senator Proctor, accord
ing to the statement made in the SEN
ate by Senator Gallinger, quoting
the authority of the Red Cross Socie-
ty, not less than 1926, 900 Cubans have
died of slow torture by starvation
since the Infamous order of Weyler
sent the rural population to concen-
trate in the fortified towns"
Spain is the greatest criminal of the
century. Indeed, such record of
tiendish cruelty can hardly find a
parallel in the history of nations.
During the four years of civil war
between the states the total loss of
life was about 275OOO. There were
100000 soldiers engaged in that des-
perate struggle. They fought four
years, and yet the death roll in Cuba
for less than two years is nearly
double that of the great civil war.
There may have been no war in
Cuba-at least, that is the assertion
OF Spain-but there has been murder
: of the most deliberate and demoniac
character.-Chicago Dispatch.

MortEnGes nEd Taxes.
A bill has passed both houses which
allows debtors to retain possession OF
mortgaged property for the full year al
lowed for redemption, any contract to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The bill to tax real estate mortgages
taxation to the extent to which the
same is mortgaged, which passed the
house, has been indefinitely postponed
by the senate committee on ways and
means.
After some discussion on the floor of
the senate the same committee reversed
Its action and indefinitely postponed
the bill to repeal the section of the code
which allows an offset of debts against
assessment on moneys and credits.
The house defeated the bill by Mr.. Ray,
of Poweshiek, in the interests of mer-
chants, to make homesteads liable for
debts incurred for family necessities in
excess of $500.
County thigh Schools.
The law in regard to organiza ton of
county high schools has been changed
i'll compliance with the wishes of the
people of Guthrie county. who claimed
to have been over taxed in the support
Of the county high school in that coun-
ty, which is the only one in the state.
The law is changed so that the govern
ing aboard is allowed to levy for building
purposes only $500 without submitting
the levy to vote of the people. The
present law allows Il levy of five mills.
The bonrd must nuke an apportion-
ment of pupils to each township, and
townships sending more than quota

school the board of supervisors must
have petition signed by majority of
the voters in the county, when the
board may order an election by giving
