INEVITABLE CITY LIFE.

ltV dSIliliG lOIL fTeSS.l
There is an illusion in young minds
about big cities that is apt to give them
asore Jolt when it .'busts.'' They fan
cy life there must be fine and gay But
IT Is the same old numdrum stuff-a
scheme to get three square meals a
day. They have to hustle for job as
we do In the country. and go to mar
ket for vegetables, fruits. meats, -four,
etc. and they cook the same way as
Jays do, and wash the dishes and sweep
and dust. and wash and hang the
clothes out In sooty air. And, then, the
dirt and stinks in streets, the din, the
rush and push. the beggars, the indif-
done. pocket-picked, sand dragged,
more than counterbalance all the sup
Chicago or New York In two days. It is
m awful bore.

A young man who four years. ago
voted for Bryan and who at that time
informed the writer that IL Mckinley
was elected and the condition OF the
times improved he would at the next
5 election admit his mistake and vote the
republican ticket, this morning in
formed the writer that he was going to
make his word good and vote for Nc
Kinley. There are a number of other
men in Shenandoah who four years ago
made the same declarat ton and were 50
positive that the times could not be
bettered bye republican administration
that they madeth same kind of prom
Uses. but the case referred to is the
only one we know of In which thu voter
has voluntarily acknowledged that he
intends voting for Mckinley Because
he said four years ago that II time
proved his convictions wrong he would

II y TRUST SNASHER'S WASTED
EFFORT.
IWaterloo Reporter.l
When the paramount trust buster OF
The Dubuque Telegraph was at Cedar
Falls recently securing material for the
annihilation of the straw board trust
which has been dead for several years,
he also discovered that Cedar Falls has
been the victim of the Vaccinations of
several other trusts, among which was
pump trust. He told how a once
fourishing local industry had been
completely paralyzed and destroyed by
an iniquitous combination. and the
usual democratic iachrymose3 embellish-
ments were added by way of adjoining
the tale. Like in the case Of the paper
trust operations the paramount envoy
was more interested in making a pos
litical point than in ascertalning the
facts in the matter of the removal OF
the pump factory. The facts are given
below taken from the Cedar Rapids
Gazette, which Is not given to exhibit
ing any special leaning towards any
political party. The Gazette says:
"a sample political statement comes
from Cedar Falls 1t is said that d
pump trust bought outSthe business at
!. that place and nloyeC j. away. The
company at Cedar Falls sold that part
of their business for the reason that il
had another line which paid better The
pump part of the concern came To
Cedar Rapids. where they had four
strong independent companies. and
where another company, owning new
patents Is being organized. This is the
simple truth as concerns that part Of
the story"
In the interest OF truth in politics the
Reporter has pointed out the inconsist-
encies and vagaries OF this trust chaser
and the hope is expressed that If he has
any more special assignments that he
Will take along a little more fidelity and
truth than he carried on the last trip.
