He could not answer these a

He could not answer these ques-
tions; he could only wonder at the
strange eXultation which was swell
ing in his breast-the boundless en-
thusiasm over the thought that he
was loved by the beautiful young
creature before him. He lost sight of
the wrong he had done her. She had
pnly q short while to live-that time,
he told himself, should constitute his
life and hers; beyond that brief pc
Rod he could not reckon.
"You have suffered?" he heard him
self murmuring.
"Ever since that awful day when
you introduced me to her in the draw
God intended you for anyone but me.
You had been my whole life, and
even afterwards, when I saw the hold
she had on you, could not keep from
suffering. The pain, the loss was
with me night and day. 1 hated her;
I despised myself. I planned a thou
sand times to leave, but I could not
tear myself away, because I saw your
soul in danger. I saw her day by day

"You never had fault till she crossed

She spoke lightly, and smiled as she
laid her head on his shoulder.
The next day was Sunday, and as
Miss Dean had gone home, they drove
alone to the village, about two miles
distant, to attend church. Blanche
had never looked so we'll. The crisp
air brought the blood into her cheeks
and blew her hair into froth of gold
about her eyes and brow.

"He said outdoor exercise was what

"Don't worry about me; the medicine

ADMIT ME, ADMIT MY DOG.

Saying.

Count Won Weldon is one of Bern
hardt's warmest admirers, and has
not missed a first night of any of the
plays the French company has pro-
duced at New York. He met with a
staggering surprise when he tried to
buy seat for his greyhound, "The
Countess" for the Hamlet" produc-
ton the other night.

"Then I will buy me box" said
tie count.
"Impossible."
"Why 500" persisted the German no.
bleman. "My dog is quiet and intelli-
gent. I have promised her that she
shall see the great Bernhardt. I will
take box and no one in the audience
will be any the wiser for her."
When the manager remained firm
the count lost his patience and decided
he would not patronize the theater
himself any longer.
"The Countess is not good enough
for your theater, hey?" said he.

Count Won Weldon accordingly beck

nifcent beast, whom he never insults
by a whistle-and the pair left the
theater in a huff.
Count Won Weldon lives on Madison

The house of representatives has a.
tjill before it providing for An lnu,e~~-s
.df,the vice presidents salary from s.. 600
"a year, which is the amount now paid,
ITO 1926 600, and of the cabinet members
Hslary from $s, 600 to $4,000. There is
really nothing extravagant in this prop
utiition when comparison is made Of
whss is thought to be correct salaries
for ofka;als of governments in foreign
countries. The president of the United
States now receives $4,000 year. 1t
was only short time ago that the
amount paid was the ridiculously low
sum Of $25, GOO a year. The president
of the French republic receives salary
rof $l2O.O 600, and an allowance of an
veoual sum for his expenses. The speak.
csr. Of the British house of commons is
paid q salary of $25 600 a year, besides
an ofieial residence, and on retirement
is given q pension Of $2O, 900 year fol
life. This office corresponds in duties te
the Office of vice president of the United
States for which the people pay only
$4,000 year. Generally, however, al
occupant for the place has been selected
!. solely because he had means of susie
nance aside from the salary and wa
vwilling to come down handsomely TO
the honor ofgoing up.

MR.. TEMPLE NOT a CANDIDATE.

The Iowa Daily Capital of January
l1th contains an elaborate announce
ment Of the candidacy of our fellow
towDsman, Hon. M. L. Temple, for gov.
ernor. Mr.. Temple, at the time of this
announcement, was in Chicago, on legal
business, and, on his return The Sentinel
reporter interviewed him on the subject,
prepared to give him a hearty support,
but Mr.. Temple promptly informed him
that the announcement was wholly un-
authorized; that under no circumstances
would he think sof becoming 4 candidate
lfor the Office Ia question. He says he
could not afford, even if there were a
possibility, to accept any office that
would take him from his professional
work. He is candidate for United
States District Attorney for the South
ern district of Iowa, and he and his
friends will press his claims for that
place to the fullest extent. t.-Osceola

A GREAT COUNTRY.

In recent speech Senator Frye set
forth these striking facts.
"Our wheat crop in 1898 was larger
than that of any other nation--twenty-
three per cent. of the world g crop.
sour corn crop for the same year was
ten times greater than that of any other
nation-seventy-three per cent. of the
worlds crop.
Our export ofprovisions was three
times, greater than that Of any other ma
ton.
Our cotton crop was five times
greater than that Of any other nation
seventy-five per cent. Of the worlds
production.
sour coal production last year ex
ceeded that of any other nation
thirty-one per cent. of the worlds pro
duction."

Marge consumers, even some OF the
TRUSTS, are beginning to cry out against
The salt trust for forcing up the price OF
its product to such an exorbitant figure.
Salt is found in the United States in
large quantities. The salt mines and
salt ltsprings in the state Of New York
alone are sufficient to supply the entire
world with the product at very low
price, but the trust has control of the
situation and the price is such that the
great packers of Chicago, Omaha and
Kansas City are beginning to feel the
additional expense and to cry out
against it. The Armour Packing COM
pany has found it necessary to import
{: salt from Portugal. After paying fol
salt in that country, Transporting II
across the Atlantic. trans-shipping it te
New Orleans and bringing it to Chicago
/ by rail, it is able to save large sun
annually on the amount consumed. i
will buy no salt in this country unles
Z the price is cut down to a proper basis
+ However, the loss Of consumer lik'
sthe Armour Packing company, though
/, it buys large quantities of salt, does no
make SO much difference to the trust
The trust makes its profits out Of th
small consumers, out Of men, who bu
but few barrels Of salt year; and thes
ara numbered by the millions. Th
salt trust may lose the custom Of th
1 big packing houses, but 1t will not los
the small customer. The latter canne
send to Portugal for what he buys. Th
salt trust will, therefore. continue
levy tribute npon the peopls Of u
~ nited States.

HOPE FOR THE ROERS.

London dispatches indicate that the
situation in South Africa ismore serious
than the British government is willing
to admit. The. Boer invasion of Cape
Colony has precipltated condition APP
proximating civil war. Martial law has
been proclaimedsfn many districts of
the colony, andSthe ''loyal" inhabitants
have been called to arms to assist in
repelling the Dutch invaders. Guns
from q British battleship have been
landed at Capetown, the defenses of
that city have been strengthened, and
the Boer prisoners have been removed
to transports in the harbor. The Brit
ish colonies have been urged to send
additional volunteer commands to South
Africa to help the smother country"
conquer the few thousand Dutch who
are still in the field. Altogether, Lon
don seems to be in a state of mind bor-
dering on panic mingledt dtwith disgust.
If the Dutch population Of Cape Col.
ony should rise in body and make
common cause with their brethren in
arms in the Transvaal and Orange Free
State the Beers might yet be able to
force Great Britain into making sub
stantial concessions. mot a vestige of
their independence shall remain" said
Lord Salisbury q few months ago; but
this declaration did not crush the spirit

Kitchener. the British commander-in-
chief, made an address to paroled
burghers under instructions from the
government, probably--in which he
displayed moderation that was in
striking contrast to Lord Saiisbury's
unconditional surrender" ultimatum.
o.doubt the British could subjugate
the Beers in time, even if the latter
should be reinforced by Cape Colony
burghers. But the continuation of the
war for an indsisnite period will entail
terrible losses i,i men and the expendi-
ture of an immense sum of money. The
Dutch can carry on guerilla warfare for
years, and as long assthere are armed
bodies of burghers in. the field cutting
off railroad communication, attacking
small British garrisons and supplying
themselves With provisions, arms and
ammunition at the expense of the ene-

of the British army in South Africa.
Under the circumstances the British
people are fast reaching the conclusion

African war they may be sacrificing

GRIP EpIDEMICS.

The grip is epidemic in New York and
there are 100, 600 cases in Chicago. The
New York Herald describes the type of
the disease in that city as follows:

expect the appearance of grip at this
season that it is no surprise to learn
that it Is here. Fortunately, however,
its type is quite mild and the acute at
