Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1902-08-28
Seen at Milwaukee Crossing.

1t is said that two men stopped a
farmer, who was driving home late
last night, near the Milwaukee rail
road crossing about three and half
miles north of the city, and inquired
the way to Ottumwa. 1t is thought
that these are the men wanted. They
were driving team. it is stated, and
were on the road to the city. This
happened late last night, and the loss
was not discovered and reported in
this city until this morning, so the
thieves have a good start.

Was Merry Work.

The theft was one of the nerviest
pieces of work that has come to light
for some time. The home of Mr.. Mast
is but a short distance from Mr.. Fink's
and it is evident the team and harness
were first stolen and lead down the
road to where the buggy was stolen,
when the crooks made a speedy
sneak" Neither man knew that the
other had sustained loss until a
search was made this morning when
it was found that the tracks led in
the same direction.

GLAOsToNE's oRATORY.
One Critic Lil<ens II 60 the Rushing
of Waters In a Tempest.

Gladstone was n great financier and
perhaps the very greatest expositor OF
finance who ever lived. He had
magical influence over masses OF men
ana a power of words the effect of
which was more like that Of huge
masses of water in a tempest than any
thing else. His Midlothian speeches
made one think less OF river coming
down than Of the sea coming up. HIS
skill In constructing a difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
Of his time and perhaps was never ex-
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate of him Is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
his extraordinary power of believing
precisely what he wished to believe.
He had a tender conscience, but. save
only where finance was concerned, he
had that conscience thoroughly under
command. If It showed the slightest
rccalcirancy, his will was always
ready to say, "Just you darew
And yet when all has been said for
and against him there can be no doubt
that he will remain the most notable
Englishman Of his generation-as much
out Of place among the liberals as
D!sracli was among the Conservatives,
but. Ike him, n head and shoulders
above all his rivals and MS much SUI
pcrior to Dlsraeli himself in most OF
the higher arts Of statcsmanship as
that immensely clever child Of Israel
was superior 20 him IN all its secondary
arts.

Surely there Is nothing more dead on

museum for these May flies or ephem-
ere Of the printing press might invite
funeral reflection on ink slung in vain

that live industry is connected with
the exhumation OF old numbers and
that these must be deposited within

up to one OF the reading rooms OF the
British museum as required. London
is no longer big enough for the news

the great public librarians that there is
no such thing as a superfuous book on

those who do not think there is a news

Tho scrcn Golden citic..

The Seven Golden Cities" one Of
the most popular legends Of the latter
part Of the dark ages, were said TO be
situated on an island west Of the Az
rican coast. The island is represented
as aboundlng in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, "the high towers
Of which shone at great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest OF Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors, when the inhablt-
ants fed in every direction to escape
slavery. seven bishops, followed by a
great number OF people, took to ships
and put boldly out on the high seas
After tossing about for some time they
landed on an unknown island, the ia
nous spot which in after years became
the seat of the "Seyen Golden Cities"
This island" Heylyn says. was ex-
actly in midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserting and founded the
cities which have become so famous In
song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators. Those who went in search
OF IL and never returned were popular
ly believed TO have been detained by
its inhabitants.

So many guesses were made regard
Ing the plans OF Charles NJ. Schwab,
president of the United States Steel
corporation. for the disposition of the
property known as Richmond beach,
Staten Island, which he recently pur-
chased, that Mr. Schwab the other day
decided TO settle the question.
81 have purchased it," said Mr..
Schwab TO n reporter of the New York
Times, "for the benefit Of poor and
sick children Of New York The land
comprises about a quarter OF a mile
Of fine beach; also a fine fresh water
lake. n grove and high land reaching
back TO the Richmond road.
THE improvements on the property
at present consist Of 2 farmhouse, pa
vilions on the ocean Store, pagodas and
a large steamboat pier. These build
ings will be altered 10 suit the purposes
Of the purchase after consultation with
charitable institutions Of New York. 1t
is expected that from 1900 to 1000
children daily can be provided for at
the beach, and a good time will be
given to them by means Of bathing,
boating on the lake, rides on donkeys
and games.
'The children win be conveyed TO the
beach probably on a large steamer.
Every child win receive n good dinner.
Mrs. Schwab is interested with me in
this undertaking. We shall proceed
carefully, availiEg ourselves Of the ex-
perlence of charitable organizations.
There are no marshes near this beach,
and l regard it as one OF the finest
| properties for the purpose that could
be purchased anywhere. 1t gets the
full sweep of the ocean breezes across
the lower bay, and 10 get there the
children will have the benefit Of fine
sail of an hour or more"

very easy matter for the city to as.
certain by wards. exactly the amount
Of street tax money to be paid by
ward. This list could be taken. say
by the city secretary, and compiled
In such a manner that the collection
OF this tax money would not only be
easy but would show how It should
be expended, for IL we are not very
badly mistaken, there is written law
which says the money collected for
street tax shall be expended in the
ward so paying it. The city secretary
could very rapidly keep the accounts
OF each ward separately, then in this
manner il would enlist a greater pride
among the people of the various
wards to keep the streets in good or.
der in sense. 1t would incur a
spirit Of friendly rivalry along that
line.
