eradicated from Davenport With the
discharge Of Mrs. Tillie Wiley, who has

tain a single patient.
Only one case of smallpox exists in
the city at the present time" said
Health Officer High this morning, chat
of Chas. Newell, 12-year-old lad nv-
ing at 1921 Maiden Lane and this case
is very light. The patient is now we'll
on the road to recovery and will in all
probability, be discharged this week"
1t is due in a large measure to the
prompt work of the health commits
sioner that the disease has been kept so
we'll in hand and had the surrounding
towns adopted the same strict meas
ures it would have been eradicated
here long ago.
Nearly all the cases that have been
reported have been traced directly to
some Of the neighboring cities.

The Seeding Populists.
IOmaha Bee.1

Can fusion in Iowa survive the ac-
ton of the Iowa democratic convention
repudiating the Kansas City platform?
1t appears not. The declaration of Gem
eral James b. Weaver foreshadows the
going out of the populists from the
democracy with whom they have acted
on the basis of the Chicago and Kansas
City Platforms particularly on the free
silver and other radical revolutionary
planks.
Iowa populists had built up con-
siderable party at one time under the
leadership of General Weaver. They
were really the successors Of the old

DEMAND FOR LOCOMOTIVES.

The railroads of the nation are pros

only cloud upon the transportation ho-

cars to meet the demands of commerce.

some of the eastern systems have not
enough for the business,
and that there seems no way to correct
this condition promptly.

as white man." while the other all
ways styled him to his face as a d--r
niger. SO that the wonder is that of the
100000 black people in the country to-
day, half of them born since the day of
freedom, there are not more criminals,
more of both sexes that have little or
no respect for law and custom. 1t can
be claimed that a whole generation Of
colored people, from 60 to 'S5, We're al
most entirely neglected in the matter
of education. Their fathers and mo-
theirs We're formerly under the rule OF
the overseer and the whip. they grew to
manhood and womanhood without con-
troll. unless we recognize the Ku Klux
Society and Judge Lynch as education-
al features.
And so history is repeating itself. The
white man of the south with his burn
ing at the stake lapses into barbarism,
but 1t is for barbaric crime. Back in
Africa the colored mans ancestors were
dubbed to death for the same crime he
dies for at the stake In Texas. Lynch
ing and torture does not lessen The
crime of rape in the south? Do any OF
us know how much of this particular
crime it prevents? And it may be pos
sible that in the plan of creation certain
crimes against society find cures, the
same as existed 1000 years ago.

Butterflies.

Out in the churchyard the grass grew
deep,
Where the peaceful dead were lying:
Over their quiet and holy sleep
The butterflies white were flying.
And one little child was playing there
In the churchyard. sunny and still:
He'd wandered away. in his innocent play
From the little white house on the hill.
Butterflies. butterflies!' cried the child
AS he played on the grassy sod.
eYou're the souls OF the little dead chill
dren here
Fluttering up to God!'
Out in the churchyard a place new made
Waits for the innocent dead:
Still. for the dear little sleeper. there
Waited his quiet bed,
And q long farewell they say over him.
With kisses on lip and brow.
And. with flowers sweet at head and feet.
He goes from his mother now.
Butterflies nutter above her head
AS she kneels on the grassy sod
And the little white soul OF her precious
one
Fluttess away to God

A white Ni.ht In sleepy Hollow.

"A White Might In sleepy Hollow.
The old Dutch church that Irving loved
Shows all its windows thick with frost
Deep are the SHOWS upon its roof;
Its ancient groves in drifts are lost:
The icy pond and ruined mill
Lie in the moonlight white and still.
The bridge beyond the willows where
The headlsss horseman rode by night
Is built of carved marble now;
The winding road is smoothly white;
The bushes sheeted specters pale
In Sleepy Hollow's haunted vale.
But in the woodlands snowy heart
"A little brook / canl.ot see
Among the stitIiy frozen reeds
Still keeps it merry spirit free.
And with steaIfast faith sublime
Sings Of the joys of summer time.

A Song.
A wild rose drank of the morning dew,
y wild rose smiled in the morning sun,
A wild rose dreamed the long day through,
A Wild rose died when the day was done,
And ever the rose was fair. was sweet.
And ever the rose was shy.
But a roses life, like q dream, = fleet
And a rose in a day may die.
It fell on day that love once grew
In the loan of the heart like rose:
Like rose 1t smiled in the morning dew:
Like rose it died at the sweet days
close.
And ever the love was fair. was sweet.
And ever the love was shy,
For the life OF love, like a rose IS feet,
And love in a day may die.

The Now.

The charm of q love is its telling, the
telling that goes with the giving:
The charm OF a deed is Its doing; the
charm of life is its living;
The soul Of the thing is the thought: the
charm of the act is the actor:
The soul OF the fact is its truth. and the
Now is It's principal factor.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-09-11

The world loves the Now and its Nowist
and tests all assumptions with rigor:
It looks not behind 1t to failing. but for
ward to ardor and vigor:
It cares not for heroes who faltered. fof
martyrs who hushed and recanted.
For pictures that never were painted. for
harvests that never were planted.
The world does not care for a fragrance
that never is lost in perfuming;
The world does not care for q blossom
that withers away before blooming;
The world does not care for the chimes
remaining unrung by the ringer;
The world does not care for the songs UNI
sung in the soul Of the singer.
What use to mankind is purpose that
never shcne forth in a doer?
What use has the world for q loving that
never had winner nor wooer?
The motives. the hopes and the schemes
that have ended in idle conclusions
Are buried along with the failures that
come In life of illusions.
Away with the fimsy idea that life with
a past is attended,:
There's Now-only Now-and no Past
there's never Past: 1t has ended.
Away with its obsolete story and all Of
Its yesterday sorrow:
There's only today. almost gone, and in
front OF today stands tomorrow.
And hopes that are quenchless are brought
us like loans from generous lender.
US all in our efforts. yet making
no poorer the sender;
Tightening all OF our labors and thrilling
US ever and ever
With the ecstasy of success and the rap
lures Of present endeavor.

s1.OOO.OOO for Charity.

\ fortune of 81 200, 900, was recently
left to n charitable institution in one
of our eastern cities, and while much
good can be accomplished by the
careful expenditure of this sum OF
money, there is another agency which
also deserves mention, because of the
good it has done and the suffering -
has relieved during the past fifty
years, and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. No other medicine can
take its place as a cure for stomach,
liver and kidney trouble, such as
headache, belching, heartburn, in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation or
biliousness. We would therefore
urge you to give it a trial. The
genuine must have our private stamp
over the neck of the bottle. Do not
accept a substitute.
