LOVE MICH


Love much. Earth has enough of
bitter in it;
Cast sweets into its cup whene'er
you can,
No heart so hard but love at last
may win it.
Love is the great primeval cause
Of man.
All hate is foreign to the first great
plan.
Love much. Your heart will be led
out to slaughter
On affairs built of envy and deceit.
Love on, love onl tits bread upon
the water;
1t shall be cast In loaves yet at
your feet,
Unleavened mama, most divinely
sweet.
Love much. Your faith will be de-
throned and shaken,
Your trust betrayed by many
fair false lure,
Remount your faith and let new
trusts awaken.
Though clouds obscure them, yet
the stars are pure.
Love is a vital force and must en-
dure.
Love much. Mems souls contract
with cold suspicion;
Shine on them with warm love and
they expand.
Ills love, not creeds. that from. a
low condition
Leads mankind up to heights SUI
preme and grand.
Oh, that the world could see and
understand.
Love much. There is no waste in
freely giving;
More blessed is it even than to-
receive.
He who loves much alone finds life
worth living.
Love on, through doubt and dark
ness; and believe
There is no thing which love may
not achieve.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

WHO APE THEY,

Says the Abba Union: "Three busi-
ness firms of Oskaloosa will move to
Abba just as soon as the buildings
can be completed for their occu-
pancy."
Barnes must have had night out
and dreamed the above. That new
press seems to be effecting Uncle ALI
and causing him to imagine all sorts
of things, or is it possible Abba has

CHARGES EMBEzzLEMENT.
ASST City Clerk of Ottumwa In the
Clutches of the Law,

ottumwa, June 25.-John H.
Wright, stenographer and clerk at
the city hall is in jail, accused of en-
bezzlement of city funds.
The manner in which Wright
is said to have secured the money Is
very ingenius. He kept the payroll Of
the street commissioner, and when a
man would work outpoll tax, instead
of giving him credit for that, Wright
is alleged to have drawn a voucher
for that much money as time put in
for the city. He claims there are
others mixed up in the matter, and
that he did not receive any of the
money.

EDITOR ATTENDS FUNERAL.

GDLL OH III a ISLI L'O II u " DAbhHs
Sully Ledger: "The editor of the
Ledger attended church last Sunday,
the occasion being for the purpose of
lending his presence at the funeral of
neighbor. The gentleman who oc-
cupied the pulpit took for his text
Jobs query: IF man die, shall he
live again?' and for the space of sixty
minutes he thrashed around in the
pulpit in a manner most firing to his
audience and certainly must have
been trying to the widow and family
of the deceased. The idea of man
occupying an hours time in the de-
livery of funeral sermon, is one of
the absurdities of this life that is sad
ly in need of reformation. On this
occasion the church was crowded to
it's utmost, many standing during the
services, which occupied an hour and
half, the minister opening the SER
vice with a ten minute prayer. 1t
struck us that probably this was the
first time he had ever had his church
SO full of people and that he had it in
mind to give it to them while he bad
chance, and he did. He delivered
sermon that would have been fairly
creditable in the midst of mid-winter
revival, but as funeral effort, at
least to our way of thinking, it was
dismal failure, and if that minister
ever gets another crack atius it will
be some time when we are unable to
make use of our legs"

Formal announcement of the es-

incident or complication shall occur

tention of the administration to make

The Des Moines Register notes
the decrease in the number of prison
ers in the Iowa penitentiaries--a de-
crease of 2s5 in three years-and it
estimates that if the times continue
good and employment plentiful the
state doubtless will have one peni-
tentiary to spare at the close of an
other three years. Work" the
Register asserts, sis the greatest
blessing conferred upon humanity"

1t will be remembered that last
fall every free silver democratic paper
pointed to Bourke Corcoran as the
returned prodigal, and accepted
everything he said as the gospel and
truth. Mr.. Corcoran is still talking but
his latest gun of oratory is not given
prominent place in the free silver
organs. Even the "Commoner" has
ignored this opinion:
"The democratic party must be
considerably strengthened or new
party organized before a democrat
can be elected. In my opinion the
present party has about collapsed"
