Ottumwa Man Writes to Say He 10
Pleased with Republican Ticket.

Pleased With Republican Ticket.
The following letter has been re-
fceiyed from an Ottumwa citizen now in
Mt. Vernon:
Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1899.
Dear Courier: In this mornings Ce-
dar Rapids Republican, I read the re-
suit of the Wapello county republican
convention yesterday, and to say that
II am pleased with our candidate for
representative, would be putting the
matter very mildly. The ticket, in its
entirety, is a good, clean, strong one.
and I see no reason why each candidate
named should not score a good MAJORS
ty on election day.
I am watching the result of the con,
tventions throughout the state, and L
am fairly well satisfied with friend
Gears chances, but we must not lose
track of the fact that we still have
work on hand, namely, that of electing
our men.
The opening of Cornell college win
take place the 18th inst, and the open
ing address of the year will be deliver
ed by Bishop Charles B. Galloway, Of
the Methodist church, south. Early in
October Bishop McCabe will give one
of his fine addresses, followed during
the same month with lectures by DR..
VIM. f. Mcdonald, of New York, and
James M. King, of Philadelphia.
Painting, plastering and kalsomining
and general overhauling has been the
order of the day at the college for
months past, and the interior of the
building is in first-class shape for the
reception of the returning students.
Two of the buildings have been almost
reconstructed during vacation. to
make room for the mammoth library
and the three new laboratories for the
department of science. A fine pipe or
gan and seven new Chickering pianos
have been added during vacation.
Very respectfully yours,
Jim King.

their son Darwin's life to instil into him
love Of the church, her creed and prac-
tees
The boy was affectionate and loveable.
but had no bent, apparently, toward
what his father and mother cons dered
the essential things of life He was
hayward and frivolous despite his moth
er's prayers and tears
Darwin was a handsome boy, with a
tall, slight, graceful frame, firmly mod
elled face and dark hair and eyes His
love for athletics and all the pleasures
Of life was absorbing, and because of his
fathers wealth he was able to enjoy
himself pretty much as he liked. His
buoyancy of temperament won him new
friends every day.
When the boy became twenty years old
his father gave him a seat in the stock
exchange. He made only occasional use
of it, however, and was still dependent
upon the large yearly allowance given
him By his father. Too many distractions
prevented him from taking serious inter
est in speculation or any other business
He made acquaintances, many of them
Improbable ones, who were outside the
limits of his own social circle. One OF
these acquaintance was Mrs. DOVE
Comstock, wife of Walter j. Comstock
In June, 1891, while his family was Nv
ing out of Brooklyn, Meserole was occu-
plying a room in the fiat of Mrs. COM
stock. He was broken down in health
and Mrs. Comstock nursed him. His rela-
