An active mind, suffering from

body q greater amount OF fuel for the

available supply Of force is absorbed
by the overworked brain there is moth.

Effect of Titus Amendment

There seems no doubt that tie pro

1T SO there Will be no state election ~
Iowa next year. The Sioux City Trl-
bune summarizes the other results:
Those officers, whether state. legisla
tive, county or township, whose terms
in the ordinary course of events wouln
have expired with the year 1901 will
have their term extended one year, S,
that there will be no vacancies. This
will make all terms expire together H.
1902, when a full ticket will be elected
IN state and counties, excepting in the
case of officers whose terms are longe,
than two years, as supreme judges anG
supervisors
The officer whose terms under the
Old rule would have expired with 1901
and who get an additional year are:
The governor, lieutenant governor
superintendent of public instructions,
Railroad Commissioners Mowry and
supreme Judge Given; all members OF
the state senate whose terms would
expire with 1901, being nineteen Ill
number; all members OF the house o,
representatives, 100 in number; coun-
ty treasurers, sherltfs. superintendents
surveyors, corOners and those super
visors whose terms would expire III
1901, from one to five in each county.
The present Legislature will meet
again in 1902. 1t will be composed ex-
actly as it was tor the last session, but
Will be really new legislature. That
ls, at the last session 1T was the Twen-
ty-elghth general assembly; at the
next session il will be the twenty
ninth general assembly. This arrange
ment legislates all the officers of both
houses out of office and new ones Will
have TO be choseni in their stead, except.
of course, the lieutenant governor,

of the house will be chosen.
The new legislature will have to
make appropriation for only single
year, because there will be another
session in 1903. At the 1902 session
senator will be elected to succeed John
II. Gear for the unexplred portion of
the term beginning March 4, 1901. The
position will be tille d until the legisla-
lure meets under appointment by
Governor Shaw The present commits
sion OF Senator Dolllver is for the un-
expired portion of Senator Gears first
term, ending March next, at that
time the governor will have to make
new commission. and will undoubted-
ly name Mr.. Dolliver to serve till the
legislature meets. The present legis-
lature will not elect senator to sue
ceed Senator Allison. His term ex-
pires March 3, 1903, so that his sue
cessor can be chosen by the legislature
sitting in January, 1903.
The legislature in 1902 will pass laws
providing for the constitutional con-
vention, whose members will be chosen
by the people in November, 1902 The
constitution adopted by the legislature
in 1903 cannot be voted on by the peo-
pie till the regular election in 1904,
unless provision is made for special
election on the subject. The legisla-
ture may, in its option, decide this
point 1t is probable special election
will be provided rather than have the
new constitution in suspense for near.

He Is Dead!
Thatis the solemn word passed aroun

Ihatls the solemn word passed around
when Peter Peterson, a victim of the
Saturday nights wreck, died He was
reported to be a member OF the Omaha
Carpenters Union No. 427, OF Omaha.
but it seems that they thought he be-
ionged to Union in Denver, Colorado.
SO between the two Unions, neither
called to care for the body, and after a
reasonable time. poor, irsndless, Peter
Peterson was laid to rest in Rose Hill
Cemetery, there to repose until the an
gel call shall wake the sleeping dead.
How mournful the spectacle! A
stranger in a strange land, within eye
to weep, no heart to mourn. no tongue
10 cheer, but there in the darkness of
night, the iron horse met diasiar, and
in the crush OF matter, poor Peter Pc
4erson met his fate. and his spirit went
out to God who save 1t.
feter was only tramp, yet he was
the con of some loving mother who
may be waiting for his return home, a
father, brothers and sisters who are
waiting for his return, but he is dead!
Here in our beautiful city of the dead,
he rests In an unmarked grave, never
more in time to walk the earth, or to
gladden. home with his presence No,
here he will rest, no trouble can dis
turb his peaceful slumber.
Death at all times is very sad, but to
be called so sudden, and to die among
strangers, though they may be very
kind, and to be laid to rest in an un-
marked grave sends a thrill to the heart
and tear to the eye of all who have
hearts to feel for human sorrow But
in the Great Day, when heavens jewels
are gathered together, Peter Peterson
may come forth, dressed in the white
robe and be Of the blassed. His grave
is not lost-angels guard the sleeping
dead, and we are told that even the
hairs of our head are Numbered and not
one can fall without the knowledge of
God. Rest, then in peace, you are but
one IN the million whose grave is not
known TO man, but in the Great Day
we will all hear His voice and come
forth. Until then goodby Peter Peter
son, and NAV God in His goodness and
mercy give comfort to the waiting ones
for the return of the deceased.

The engineers in charge Of the new
type of big locomotives recently intro
duced on the Milwaukee road have
been notified that hereafter their re-
spective runs will be the source of in
creased revenue. Two weeks ago the
engineers on the Milwaukee road thro'
. committee asked for an increase in
their wages, on a certain class of en-
eines The management of the road
met the committee conrteously and af-
ter friendly discussion took the mat
ter under advisement and have now
granted the request. Hereafter eugi-
neers ot ten wheel locomotives will re
ceive 81 per 100 miles run, instead of
1885, while engineers on compound
types of engines of the Atlantic type

Despite the fact that much
caution is used in the manufacture
of cardboard on which railroad
tickets are printed and the dies
from which government money is
printed, there continues to turn
up very closely "doctored" tickets
that none but an expert could de-
tect from the genuine. Counter
feiters are riding over the country
on tickets they purchased for per-
haps 30 cents. The latest changed
tickets have been detected on the
Burlington between st Paul and
st Louis. A few days ego a con-
ductor took up two forged tickets
calling for passage from the Twin
Cities to st Louis. These tickets
had been changed by chemical
treatment. Originally they we're
issued for short distance, having
been purchased, it is said, at the
Union depot in st Paul. The
officials believe, however, that the
tickets had been manipulated by a
certain scalper, but the scalpers
deny that any of their organiza-
tion had ANYTHING to do with the
forgery. The Burlington will
make thorough investigation.

City will be without arc
lights for two weeks.

A Edgecomb Of the Missouri
Valley Electric light company
this morning stated the break
down of the engine at the power
station was of a most serious ma
ture and at least ten days would
be consumed in the repair Of the
broken machinery. The disabled
engine was disconnected this
morning, loaded into freight car
and shipped to the original build
cts in Burlington. During the
time the engine is being repaired
the dynamos in the arc light
section of the station will be idle
and the town will be in complete
darkness so far as the arc lights
are concerned. The dynamo
which furnishes the power for the
motor at the mill has been trans
ferred to the incandescent section
and will be furnished power from
the engine in that section while
the break is being repaired.
