Fire.

: Fire in field of the Honolulu plan
taton at midnight Saturday destroyed
an acre of cane. AS soon as the fire
was discovered the men were turned
out in force and the cane was cut about
the burning area, combining the fire to
the one spot The blaze was seen at
the Peninsula by Acting Governor
Cooper, and his telephone message
brought about arrangements here for
the sending of an engine, on the sup
position that the mill was burning. As
no connection with the plantation could
be had, nothing was done and within a
half-hour the fire was under control.
Manager Low of the Honolulu plan
tation said yesterday: 1.-THE fire was
about 1,500 feet above the mill. People
living on the Peninsula naturally
thought it was in the mill, as the glare
shone through the windows and made
1t really appear as though the blaze
was directly in the building. There are
any number of windows in the mill
and | am not surprised that people on
the Peninsula We're deceived
As for bringing the Honolulu fire de-
partment down To- the plantation. that
would hardly benecessary except in the
most extreme case. We have fully
equipped department OF our own, in
Guiding hose, hydrants and fire fighting
paraphernalia, and a reservoir high up
on the hills which holds $4,000 gallons
of water. We have a hundred foot
head
Il am of the opinion that the fire was
incendiary There are a number of men
who have been shifted around from one
kind of field work TO another, and it is
probable disgruntled laborer made up
his mind to obtain revenge by burning
up the planta ton"

We, the democrats Of Iowa, in Convention
democratic national platform adopted at KAN
sas City, July 5, 1900, and without surrenderins
our convictions or abating our loyalty 70 our
national policies We believe this oompaien to
be particularly one that should be confined to
state isaucs.
"REso1vsD D, That the fun lam.ntal principle
of democracy, equal rights to all and spesial
privileges :" none" applies in full force TO the
subject of taxation. Tho democratic party be-
lievc. that the burdens of taxation should he
born equally by all taxable property. We
pledge our members of the general assembly to
formulate and urge the adoption of such law
as will compell the burden of taxation to rest
on corporate and individual property alike
without favor or exemption of any interests.
I'VE demand economy in the administration
of state otfaira. the repeal of the muct law. the
enactment of q local option law, and the aboli-
ton of the Offices of state printer and state bin
der and the contracting for supplies for the

WOMEN WHO ARE LED A.
STRAY BY MISCHIEF.
GUS MARSH FIRES.

Illustrative of the baneful power of the
marsh FIRE, there Is told the story of .
woman who lost her way. She turned
in this direction and In that, hopelessly
puzzled as to her whereabouts in the
murky night. Presently ahead of her
she saw the CLEAN of light. At once
she cav in fancy the picture of home. the
lamp in the window. the cozy comfort of
those under the shelter of the protecting
roof, vcurtained and closed and warm"
Stcadfastly she moved towards the light.
But as she moved it seemed to change
IL position. It was always little far.
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1901-09-12

ther away from her and presently when
she sank down exhausted in swamp
the light disappeared altogether.
Whatever truth there may be in the
story, it forcibly illustrates the career Of
many woman who has followed the
marsh FIRE of love In the belief that it led
to home aud comfort and found herself
at last exhausted and deceived.
IT'S A BITTER LESSON
learned by many woman who thought
love all.sufficient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation of the home. 1t needs
health. Strange as it may seem the
beautiful loving woman who is weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while on
the other hand a woman who has no
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility Of loss. The first re-
quisite OF marriage is health. The wife's
first necessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no
happiness in her children. What makes
ill-health so common among womenl

1t is regretable fact that there is
no provision for the collection of birth
and death statistics in the United
States. A census bulletin recently is
sued, however, by comparison of the
figures obtained in 1890 with the later
figures of 1900 contains some interest
ing estimates and congratulations. 1t
is shown that the average death rate
in cities was 81 per 1000 in 1899 and
1876 per 1000 in 1900. Another interest
ing showing Is that the yearly deaths
from pneumonia now exceed the
deaths from consumption. The aver
age age at death in 1890 was 31.1 years
In 1900 1t was 35.2 years-the crafty
ing gain in longevity being attributed
to improved methods IN medical and
sanitary science. To the same causes
is attributed the decrease in the per-
centage of deaths from consumption.
Notwithstanding somewhat alarm
ing increase liz the mortality from kid
ney diseases, apoplexy cancer and in
fuenzs, the falling off in the number
of deaths from other common ailments
makes the average in 1900 favorable
to longer life. The people of the uni
ted States, despite their strenuous
lives, appear to be gaining from year
to year in insurable qualification.
