AN UNBELIEVEE

They say the world is growing worse
don't believe it, though;
They say men worship bnt the pnrse,
don't believe it, though;
They say that greatness is no more,
That all the wise have gone before
And only trouble is in store
don't believe it, though.
They say there are no saints to-day,
don't believe it, though;
They say We tread a downward way,
don't believe it, though;
They say there's only gloom ahead,
They say that all the knights are dead
They say mems sweetest love are fed :
l don't believe it, though.
Men had their troubles long ago,
And that's what | believe:
The Lord still loves here below,
And that's What I believe;
Old Homer, Of the sightless eyes,
And Cesar lie meath other akies,
But greater men than they will rise,
And that's what believe.
The world grows faster day by day,
And that's what I believe;
The good have not all passed away,
And that's what believe;
Though many a one we loved is gone,
Fond hearts and true are beating on
The happiest days are still to dawn,
And that's what believe.

been a lifelong democrat and supported
Bryan In 1896. He says he knows when
he Is we'll of and knows when dollars
are plentiful and when they are Wopth
100 cents. Since McKinley's election
and the affairs Of the government have
been in republican hands Mr.. Monahan
says he has prospered, while dusing the
two administrations OF the democratic
party he did not make cent and 1t was
all he could do to come out even. Tho

Bryan's imperialistic bugaboo. Mr..
Monahan says he followed his fathers
ideas in politics, in religion and In busi-

going to follow his own convictions and
not only vote for William Mckinley and
the balance OF the republican ticket, but
will work for their success.

Philippine War Veteran Gives an
Idea OF How Political situation
Is Watched There.
Private Jarren, late Of the Twelfth
United States Regulars, who was dis
charged on Aug. 20 last, has just ar
rived in the city from New York, where
he landed few days ago from the Phil
ippine Islands. Private Jarren is visit
ing his father, Veteran Carl Jarren, OF
the Soldiers Home, and In an Interview
gives a very clear idea Of how the pos
.itical situation in this country is beng
watched by the Filipino leaders and in
surgents. Private Jarren states that a
short time before he received his dis
charge he, with party of scouts, went
into the mountainous country and on
trees, in various places. found posters,
printed in Spanish, stating that the peo-
Pile in the United States were with Bry-
an and that if he We're elected the inde-
Ependence o. the Philippine islands
Swduld be recognized and the United
States troops would be withdrawn.
They actually believe this to be the
fact" Mr.. Jarren says, for they have
been misled by statements from those
prominent in Insurgert affairs. The
only thing now that will stop the war in
the Philippines is the reelection OF
William Mckinley. and SO soon as shal
is done the insurgents will lay dowI
their arms Mr.. Jarren Is OF the same
opinion that many OF the Philippine
war veterans have previously stated in
interviews. to the effect that the wa.
lin the islands would not have lasted
nearly so long az 1t has had it not been

The time in the district court today
was occupied largely With the hearing
In the case Of Charles Hesser on trial
charged with breaking into Great
Western freight car. Attorneys for the
defense raised point relative to the in
dictment that was discussed for some
time and came very near securing the
quashing OF the Indictments against
both Hessar and Block While crimes
committed on trains of a railway may
be punished in any county in the state
which the railway traverses, the indict-
ments in the present cases charge that
the offenss Was committed in Marshall
county, and this allegation the state was
not prepared to prove. Judge CasWell,
after hearing arguments finally allowed
the taking Of evidence to proceed.
While large amount of business has
been disposed of at the present term
there are still many cases on the calen-
dar that are awaiting the attention OF
the court and after Judge Caswell con-
venes the Tama county court next week
and disposes Of the preliminary business
he will return here and take up equit,
