Some miscreants in human form
who have less gray matter in their
head than an ordinary low down mon
key were at the Eden Valley church
last Sunday night and proceeded to
take all the rings they could lay their
hands on and the owners know too
who they are.
Rev. Bertch, pastor of the U. b.
church on this circuit accompanied by
his wife departed Tuesday evening for
Webster City to attend their confer
ence. Rev. Bertch has brought this
charge up wonderful in his two years
of labor and is now identified with the
interests of the town and county. He
is president of the school board and al
so of the County Sunday School Assoc
citation and it is hoped by all that he
will be returned here as he expects.
But tits hard to tell what conference
will do as they generally do the unex-
pected.
The members of the M. w. A. have
incorporated stock company of $4,000
with $500 paid up capital to build a
new hall and opera house. George w.
Cosson of Audubon has had the busl-
ness in charge and seen that it is got
up in shape. They have held meet
ing and elected the following officers;
President, o. S. WEIGH, Secretary, j.
Z. Nedrow, Treasurer, A. A. Kusel,
Directors, T. B. Creveling, S. G. Ran
dies, r. c Hepp, Fred Ross. G. H.
Wilson, G. 7. Wiley. This makes a
good list of officers and they expect to
rush the building to completion as fast
as possible.

The Coming Heroes.

The baseball seasons waning,
But coming to the front
Are bold and brawny heroes
Who pass and run and punt.
They're going into training
To make their muscles strong,
End, to the BARRIERS sorrow,
They're letting hair grow long.
They're rallying for practice
And testing plans and signs
To aid them when they're trying
To break opponents lines.
They're swapping back the pigskin.
Then sprinting DER the ground
Until the painting runner
Is by his comrades downed.
Again the nose of rubber
Is fastened in its place,
Regardless of appearance
That's given to the face;
Again the bands are fitted
To foreheads, ears and chins,
And there are thick protectors
Incasing players shins. .
And often in the evening
A fearful noise is heard
Until by thoughts of murder
The neighborhood is stirred.
But some one who is posted
All dread and doubt dispels
BY saying that the players
Are Just rehearsing yells.
Yes, soon the football heroes
Will on the grid appear,
And there they'll tiercely struggle
While rooters howl and cheer.
Again they'll run and tackle
And fall with awesome thud,
And they'll again be covered
With glory and with mud.

What Come. After suicide.

On the whole, it is something OF a
pity that some Of these fellows who cut
their throats. blow out their brains or
swallow poisons in order to rid them
selves of their troubles cannot come
back. SO they might tell others who are
troubled whether relief lies in that d.
rection or not. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that what they then could tell
would deter other reckless men and
women from following In their foot

son, their return would be welcome.

NEGRO POPULATION GROWING
Men Are Thriving Better Than
White Brothers.

ny Associated FreSS.
Washington, July 10.-Predictions made
on the census Of 1901 that the population
of negroes would decrease as compared
with the general population are not borne
out by the census returns.
The negro population in the United
States in 1890 was l1.93 per cent of the
total, a decrease from 1912 per cent in
1885, This year the percentage will be
somewhat less than II, although until
the compilation Of statistics has been
more nearly completed it will be impossl-
BILE to give exact figures.
In some of the southern states the ne
gro population is increasing faster in
proportion than the white. In the border
states there seems to be a little falling
off, and in the northern states to which
the tide of European immigration flows
stronger the white population is increas-
ing more rapidly, though this does not
hold good In some special localities
such as cities in which negro servants,
especially in hotels. are rapidly replacing
white men and women.

Change In the Plat Amendment
Cuban Officials Send to Washington a Copy Of the
Constitution Of the New Republic.

(By Associated Press)
Washington, July 10-The department
has received official copy of the constitution
of the republic of Cuba, duly authorized by GEN
eral Wood and the proper authorities, and the
document is being carefully translated into
English by the expert linguists Of the state de-
partment.
The chief feature naturally centers in the n
in which the Cuban convention has incorpor-
ated the so-called Platt amendment in the docu-
ment.
1t appears from the official draft that the con-
vention has formally conformed to all the re-
quirements, taking care, however to do with
least possible injury to condition of Cuban self
respect.
The eight articles of the Patt resolution which
were enacted by congress amendment to the
last army appropriation bill not made
part of the constitution in the of entering
bodily into its composition, but they appear
IAN ordinance appended thereto" following the
volumnous articles of the fundamental law with
out comment explanation, other than the SIM
pie title "appendx.'
AS further concession to the public pride
manifested by the Cubans the last article of the
Platt resolution is changed somewhat.
AS congress adopted it, this article read: VIII.
That by way of further assurance the govern
ment of Cuba will embody the foregoing provi-
sions in permanent treaty with the United
States"
The Cuban convention has stricken out the
words that by way of further assurance" and
the article is left with simple drectness,
The government of Cuba will,' etc.
