All that willing hands could do could

Oh, mother has gone and left us,
For the cold and silent tomb,
Our hearts are filed with sorrow,
And our homes are filed with
gloom.
We watched and waited by her,
In hope that she would stay.
But angels came with snowy wings
And bore our mother away.
But. Oh how sweet it will be in tina
beautiful I'D,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on our lips and witt
harps in our hands,
To meet our mother again.
BY her husband and children.

The republican party in Iowa has be
come SO rotten that that good re-
publican paper, the Independence Bull
letin-J Journal is nauseated, and cries
aloud for reform at the risk of being
denounced by the press of its party as
populist. In recent issue it says:
aThe lieutenant governor of Iowa
and the senator from Pottawattamie
county have got themselves badly mix
ed up in nasty scandal, and may pos-
sibly both be- cited as correspondents in
q divorce case. 1t is well known
fact that the political lid had to be
soldered down about the time of the
last state convention to save the scalp
of another prominent republican office
holder. 1t is not very long since a state
officer and an employe in his office, who
had lust secured the prefix Eek indulg-
ed ina rough and tumble fight in an of
flee room, the real reasons for which
were entirely different from those APP
pearing in the papers, but were kept
under the rose for party purposes. 1t
is nota year since q state officer was driv-
en- from the field as candidate for re-
nomination because it was shown that
although his two boys were drawing pay
as janitors at the capitol they had not
missed day at the public school the
preceding term. And yet when it is
intimated that even SO great and good
a party as is the republican needs q lit.
