THE JOURNALS POETS.


On Porto Ricos sunny heights
His castle rose. mid gardens fair.
house OF treasures vast and rare
And all luxurious delights
And one was there. his dusky wife,
captive from the wilderness.
Subdued by many fond caress
Until she loved him her life.
Three ships were riding in the bay.
And one bright morn adown the gle
Strobe the hidaigo and his men.
Clomb to their decks and sailed away.
Threading the sun-kissed island chain.
The gallant caravels sped on.
The green Bahamas. one by one,
Were touched in turn and left again.
A score Of years these spicy coasts
Had lured the prows of Spanish fleets.
The parrots, in their green retreats.
Learned the explorers oaths and boasts.
For precious woods. for gold and slaves,
Went those adventurous spirits forth;
But for a prize of dearer worth
De Leon tempted winds and waves.
He gave the fable weight OF truth.
That somewhere in these smiling lands,
Sparkled above its diamond sands
The Fountain OF Perpetual Youth
The mainland so the legends say.
Was reached. by grace of heavenly powers.
AT Easter time, the feast of flowers,
And so they named II Florida.
Here the anxious search renewed.
Something would touch life's hidden source.
And give assurance. fire and force,
When that was won which he pursued.
He bathed in forest-shadowed streams;
He drank of every spring he found:
At night he slumbered on the ground.
While fountains Murmured in his dreams.
A day came, when he ceased to roam.
The waiting ships were quickly manned,
And by their master bade to stand
Straight for his distant island home.
The dark, fond native wept for joy.
She clasped his head-'twas grayer grown:
Caressed his beard where silver shone,
Since last her hands found this employ.
His look with discomfort was fraught;
| He felt the burden and the pain
| OF baffied toll and wasted thought.
| Pacing that night the seawall slant.
A voice his brooding beguiled.
He heard-and hearing, softly smiled
| The Indian girls melodious chant
| This was the tender song she sung,
With dewey lips and dreamy eyes
Love grows not old-love never dies;
| The heart that loves is always young

SENT TO THE PENITENTIARY.
Former Ottumwa Boy Gets Two Years
on Burglary Charge.


Des Moines, Oct. 25.-(Special)-
Henry E. Greendahl, indicted on the
charge of burglary, was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary yester
day afternoon after confessing his
guilt. He did not stand trial, but
plead guilty to the charge. Greendahl
was formerly resident of Ottumwa,
where he served at one time as extra
liceman.
On the night of Sunday, October 8,
Greendahl was discovered by mer-
chants police while in the act of bur-
glarizing the Bolton hardware store in
East Des Moines. The police were
called and the building was surround
ed. Greendahl, finding that he had
been discovered, ran to the elevator,
ran it to up to the roof of the building,
and attempted to escape by this route,
hoping to gain the ground by jumping
to lower buildings. But in this he was
foiled, for in the meantime crowd
had been attracted by the presence OF
the officers. Mr.. Bolton was telephon'
ed for, and opening Ine store, they as
cended to the roof arresting Green
dahl without resistance. He was seen
10 throw away several revolvers and
knives which he had taken. He claim
ed at the time of his arrest that he
was not the burglar, that he had seen
someone else in the act and had en-
tered the building in the hope of cap
turing him.
The grand jury took the matter uI
without preliminary hearing. Green
dahl's confession yesterday saved him
heavier sentence, it is thought.

GERMS IN THE MILK.
Source of the Sickness at the College
at Ames Determined,

Ames, Oct. 25.-The following off
cial statement is made with regard to
the prevalence of typhoid at the col
lege.
The source of sickness In the college
the past week or ten days is now pref
ty definitely determined. Serious as it
is, it is fortunate after a most search
ing investigation, the sanitary condi.
tons of the college are found to be
first class. In regard to the water
supply, the chemist reports from anal
ysis-"The results of examination
show most decidedly from a chemical
consideration the college supply is in
excellent condition" The buildings
and sewers have been thoroly inspect.
ed and found in wholesome condition.
Samples of water taken from all the
wells in connection with the farms
from which the milk supply came to
the boarding department have been
analysed. Among these one well is
found to be in very foul condition. "In
this well the amount of nitrogen as
nitrates shows that the water has been
contaminated and is in worse con-
dition that the eflluent of the college
sewage beds" This well is walled up
with the tile and is quite accessible to
seepage of the environment. A case
or two of typhoid fever has been de-
veloped in the house of this farm. 1t
is supposed that in washing the milk
cans at this well the typhoid germ got
into the milk supply. Milk makes an
excellent culture bed for such germs
and they grow very rapidly. The milk
supply from this source has been cut
off and every precaullon taken not
only in regard to the milk but every
olner presumable source of difficulty.
DR.. Hartman mas had in consulta.
ton some of the best medical talent of
the state and has the matter under
reasonable control. Exaggerated state
ments have gone out as to the mum
Der of cases. There are about thirty
five cases of typhoid fever. Fifteen
trained nurses have been secured, be
sides the help from students and 9th
ers. Every possible means is being
employed to give the best attention
possible to these cases. 1t is not like
ly there will be many more cases. As
the source of the difficulty has beer
located the work of the school will &c
right along as far as practicable. The
composure and good sense of the stu
dent body is a bright side of this
grave experience.

viii Vote for Mckinley.

Inc Fairfie4 Ledger tells of twenty
five or more Jefferson county farmers
who voted for Bryan in 1896 who will
vote for Mckinley this year. Most of
them take the broad ground that the
country is prosperous, that the de-
mand for everything they produce is
SO great and prices SO high that they
cannot afford to take the chances of a
change. They remember the Scent
hogs and Scent cattle of democratic
administration, the 15-cent corn, the
10-cent oats and the Scent wool. The
Ledger knows one Jefferson county
farmer, republican, with 400 cattle
on hand. who declares that the cleo
ton of Bryan will cost him SIS per
head, or entail loss upon him of
$4,000.
