Logan Items.
BY E. Wright.

Owing to "kick" there may be such
thing as Logan going without lights.
Dunlap has made the owners of the
lighthouse plant an offer and they are
considering the matter. The light
house also pumps water for the city
and they may not furnish even water
very much longer. Everybody is
drinking all the water they can hold
on the strength of gong dry.
The city council has served notice
on the card joints to the effect that no
more card playing will be allowed.
There is a strong talk of having the
hotels and livery barns closed at this
place on Sundays, also the opera house
is having its share of complaint enter
ed against it.
One evening last week, just after
the sun went down, quite scrap took
place on one of our streets between q
man and woman of the town, which
attracted considerable attention and
was OF a very amusing nature for
those who witnessed it. The fight, it
was thought, would end in draw,
but in the last round the female was
hit below the belt and she was award
ed the fight ON foul.

Christ in and destroyed their bodies at
once as 1T was to bring in one poor
lone man, woman or child, but if it
was big price to pay for being a
christian it gave us all a monument to
the cause that will stand as long as
Rome stands and when Rome falls
the world falls.
| No record was ever kept but it must
have been thousands and thousands
who gave their lives there Titus
alone killed 5000 at one time. The
sport used to begin at sun rise and last
until sun set and last for weeks and
weeks at time, although christians
were not killed all the time. Some
times it would be wild animals. The
place where the animals were kept be-
fore beng put into the arena can still
be seen. Also the place where the
christians and comrades were kept.
Then too they used to train their
slaves to fight and / suppose that is
where our modern prize fights came
from. Ii at this latter day we could
only become SO uncivilized as to make
some of them. especially those who
fight so much with their mouths, get
into q similar arena with big iron
clubs and fight it out that way the
true sport of boxing would be very
much benefited. Some of them ought
to be made to eat each other.
AS one wanders around down there
and sees such places as the drains
which were used to run off the blood
from the arena and the holes the bodies
were thrown into after being killed, it
makes the cold chills run down your
back and you thank the Lord that you
are living in this goodly age rather
than that. never go down there but
what ask myself, if the christians of
today had to pay the price for believ-
ing as they do as those earlier ones
did would there be as many christians
as there are? don't know; it's a
pretty hard question, yet think if it
were put to a testyou would find many
q man whom you always thought
sorehead ready and willing to go into
the arena, and many a good and pious
brother would have some pressing en-
gagement over in the Pagan camp.
Things are not always what they
seem.
They have built new wall on one
side to keep the Coliseum from falling
bnt it doesn't harmonize much with
the old wall. l really think that the

than the churches do. There is say
ing that "[Ialf of old Rome, was built
from the Coliseum" and while it isn't
actually true yet, they managed to
take good deal of 1T away, "'Tls
said Rome belongs to the world" and
If any are in doubt of that saying they
should go down and spend an hour or
SO there, they would soon see that it's
mighty small proportion of the
Romans who see it-enough Ger

AS SEEN by AN EYE WITNESS.

Missouri Valley, or as tits more pop
ularly known "Mo. Valley" is nest
led among the foothills of the Magno-
liza range of mountains, at their ex-
treme southern point where they BIZ
sect the low (very low lands, caused
by the tide waters of the Missouri NEE
ting the overflow from the Boyer.
The city is composed principally of
villas, and residences, and while Mexi-
co lays claim to the greatest diversity
of temperature in a given number of
miles, of any country north of the
equator, Mo. Valley can boast of the
greatest disparity of altitude, of any
city of ordinary size on the globe.
England is proud of the fact that
"on her possessions the sun never sets. y
Many Valleyite with single lot can
make the greater boast that on his lot
the sun is continually setting. For
some of the lots hanging like the skirts
of saddle, astride the gentle undula-
tions is bathed at its eastern extremity
in mornings melloWing sunlight, long
before the shades of night have pass
ed down the western slope, aud when
the golden rays of the setting sun is
glinted back from the west end, the
eastern portion is swathed in deepest
gloom. But it is not entirely thus, to
the west and south we behold broad
expanse of level country stretching
away even unto the fair grounds, and
even further, the stretch being limited
only by the amount of moisture in the
soil.
Geographically, Mo. Valley is boun-
ded as follows: On ths north by the
Cemetery; on the south by public
highway; on the east by extensive and
beautiful farms, among which is II. b.
Coxes, and on the west by the Willow
and valuable farms.
The city is inhabited principally by
people and SHOP men; among the in
habitants are to be found people of al

The day set for holding the tourna-
ment was Wednesday and Thursday,
June 10 and Goth.
On motion the Board of Control was
authorized to appoint an assistant

ment of Carroll might see fit. Band
contests, or races open to any fire de-

Letter From Frank Harris.
COLISEUM.

ROME, Italy, April 2, 19Ol.-Of all
the places in the world that are inter
esting really think that for one who
is of the christian faith there can be
no place that can compare to the old
Flavian Amphitheatre, more common
ily called the Coliseum. 1t is the archi-
tectural genius of all times, and as that
famous old ruin stands it would com
pare more than favorably with our
modern buildings, and / never go
down there but what think how loEg
will the best of our buildings last; and
If they were to see some of the scenes
that old place had, the more modern
of our strongest buildings would not
last minutes where that has lasted
years.
1t took Its name from the Flavian
emperor Vespasians who commenced
it in A. ID. ", Titus who opened it in
80 and Domitiam who completed it.
The building covered six acres of
ground, IL 100 feet high and is just a
third (1a) of mile around it, 1t is
four stories high and the architecture
is of different school at each story.
The first of the Doric, second Ionic,
third Corinthian and fourth Com
posite. The arches of the second and
third stories were in olden times each
adorned with statues. | think there
were 80 arches but am not sure.
The most marvellous thing of it all
to me was that they used no mortar in
the building of the walls nor in the
foundation and it was built in the bed
of lake. The water was drained off
and then the foundation laid, and
when that fact alone Is considered one
should lift his hat in respect to the
unknown genius who was the architect.
Even though it was built for the
purpose it was and used as it was, it
makes tie finest, the grandest of all
monuments that have been erected to
the christian faith. When one goes
in and sees the places where the Em
perors, where the senates, where the
mobiles and all of blood and position
were seated. then higher up where the
common people were seated and think
that $4,000 people could be seated in
the building, one can get but little
idea of what an awful uproar, of what
dreadful yelling, of heart rendng ap.
plause that must have greeted the ears
of a poor lone christian as he was let
up from one of the main trap doors in
the arena. The arena was so fixed
that it could be turned into lake OF
they would fix it up to represent some
scene in forest or some plain, then
they would let the christian come
into the arena by one door and lion
who had not been fed for week in at
another. Just think what an awful
sight that n ust have been; really il
doesn't seem to me to have been near.

Religiously, Mo. Valley is certainly
up to the standard, for with seven nice
church buildings, and nine congrega-
tions you can buy anything on Sun
day, from stick of candy to suit of
clothes OF drink of milk, q suppose
it is milk, for the saloons are closed,
you know)
Politically, the city is conundrum,
or rather an unsolved algebraic equa-
ton, with the ALcE left off, but with
all its incongruities, its assimilations,
and its dissimilarities, Mo. Valley is q
pretty good place to live in, and fair
place to die in as we'll.

Sues the s. c. & r. Company
for Heavy Damages.

The Sioux City & Pacific railroad
company is the defendant IN what is
undoubtedly one of the largest damage
suits ever filed in Western Iowa under
similar conditions. The plaintiff in
the action IS Miss Luells S. Picket
who alleges in an exceedingly long
petition, that she is an unmarried
female, is candid in admitting she is
40 years old and has engaged in the
business of life insurance solicitor for
several years past. On the night of
August IA, 1900. Miss Picket states
she left River Sioux aboard q S. G. u
P. train and left the train at Monda-
min aud, she says, while enoute to the
hotel from the railroad at the depot
she fell from the platform and sus-
tained injuries which she claims are
of such serious nature she has been
unable to work and has been an invalid
ever since the accident. In her petition
she states the steps leading from the
platform to the sidewalk are located
in an obscure position and cannot be
seen in the dark. She claims she
stepped or rather fell from the plat
form where it was about three feet
high and her injuries are of such q
serious nature that she thinks it
will requite about $40, 600 in cold cash
to ameliorate her suffering.
