Lewis Johnson, living near McCalls-
burg, was brought before the insane COM
mission recently, but as he appeared to
be sane at the time nothing was done
and he was given his freedom and re-
turned to his home. A few days later
Mr.. johnson secured large corn knife
and went out into his corn field, where he
cut his throat in terrible manner. He
also struck himself with the knife, in
fiicting severe wound on the head. At
ter finishing his murderous work he went
back to the house. His wife Immediately
summoned physician to dress the
wounds. 1t is supposed he committed the
rash act while temporarily insane.
Dig Out of Jail.
When the sheriff arrived at the Jail in
Winterset the other day he found that his

who robbed Farmer Cunningham near
Patterson of several hundred dollars, and
were two of the hardest customers that
have been found within the confines of
the county in years. During the winter
they worked as farm hands, and since
their arrest it has been learned that they

All good Americans will heartily In
dorse the vigorous patriotism Of the IA
nous physician, Dr. Mckinney, in con-
tradicting the story of his intended re-
tirement to Europe, with the emphatic
remark. 81 hate Eupore. America is
good enough for me-" 1t is not neces-
sary to hate Europe, and it is profitable
to have seen and studied Europe. 1t
has much that is worth seeing and
studying and. moreover, the fair-rnind-
ed American always likes to examine
for himself the evidence on which he
is to give an opinion. Travel is good
for both mind and body; it is vacation
and education. But after the Amer
lean has taken good look at Europe
he need have no hesitation in declaring
with DR.. Mckinney that America is
good enough for him. 1t Is good enough
for anybody. Nowhere else in the world
can life be lived under better condi-
tons than in the United States. Alike
for the toiler and the capitalist, for ar
dent youth and tranquil old age, for
manhood and womanhood. for the
thinker or the worker, for all who
really live. 1t Is the land Of opportunity,
of hope. of progress. of possibilities on
the whole surprising those of the most
favored countries of Europe. 1t is the
most Interesting country in the world.
1t is now at the most interesting period
of Its history. 1t is struggling with a
greater number of problems and more
important ones than any other country.
Aud 1t is growing more interesting all
the time Its successes and its failures
are fraught with vaster consequences
for the welfare or detriment of the hu-
man race than those Of any other coun-
try The American who under any
circumstances does Tot find America
good enough for him is simply blind to
the most attractive picture in world
history.

It's up to the People.

Less than a year remains in which
70 gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president Of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments Of eminent statesmen and
jurists congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not of spontaneous
growth They are the result Of years
of labor and expenditure Of millions
of dollarsl Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver fol
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
,!ny Of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness Of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire..
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is a far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War Of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep-
tons. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era of
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the

I'll abe has placed as many spiders In
the tube as, according to her Judgment,
will be needed. She then lays an egg
in the cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this per-
Torrance is the magic effect OF her
sting. Whether it is the result of a
subtle poison or whether 1t is special
spot in the spiders nervous system
where the sting is inserted we do not
know. Certain il Is that after being
thus stung the spider lives on in
paralyzed condition for weeks and even
months. II can move only slightly, and
remains helpless in its mud sepulcher
until the wasp egg matches into vora-
cious grub, which az once falls To and
eats with great relish the meat thus
miraculously preserved.
Another remarkable thing is that
the wasp knows that the spider is a
great glutton and can eat in one day
20 times its own weight in food, and
when il wants TO can 60 weeks and
even months without eating at all. Now,
how does the wasp know this?
Another equally remarkable thing
Is that the spider is the only animal that
is rendered unconscious 10y the wasps
ating. The wasp does know it, for she
invaribly selects the spider to provide
food for her young. She knows that
when she stings the spider IT is not
killed, but will live without food long
enough to be fresh meat for the young
wasp when IL is Matched and until il
liberates itself from the cocoon. But
what kind of an instinct or sense that
tells all this 10 Nine. Wasp we do not
know.
whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible TO pain or not is a
question not yet settled. However, the
chances are in favor OF the theory that
1t does. Anyway, we need waste no
sympathy on the spider, the most blood
thirsty Of all the little people of the
woods. There is a sense OF retributive
justice in the thought of spider help
less at the mercy OF small insect which
It would have mercilessly devoured had
It been able.
$50 we need not accuse our alert, in
dustrious cement maker Of any unrea-
sonable cruelty II she, like Us, insists
upon meat diet for her young. nor
need we have any fear Of her sting, for
she seldom uses Il as q weapon Of Of
fenso or defense. "-~,Brooklyn Eagle.

Here Is picture Of Mexican wasp

when asked to ten about the habits Of
this wasp he said:
The wasp is not q vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement maker has before
her the problem Of supporting her
young with meat, rather than with
bread. As her eggs are laid out in hot
weather, and as enough food must be
stored in the cell with the egg to ma
ture the young insects, the question is
how o preserve the meat fresh for so
long time She meets the difficulty
thus; After tube is finished, except
at one end, which Is left open, she flies
off on hunt for spiders. She finds a
fat, healthy one, pounceA upon It, stings
IL and carries it of and places it in a
