Our small life in Gods great plan.
How futile il Seems the ages roll;
Do what il may or strive how il Can,
To alter the sweep of The infinite whole;
single stitch in an endless web:
A drop in the oceans flow and ebb;
But the pattern is rent where the stitch is
lost;
Or marred where the tangled threads have
crossed;
And each life that fails of its true intent.
Mars the perfect plan that its Master meant.

Iowa is fast making respectable cit
liens of its drunkards' by sending
them to an insane asylum until cured;
they seld ON need second dose.
Many man whose life is one of
sinful indulgence expects that in spite
of his example his wife will somehow
manage to make respectable men and
women of his children.
We hope that not one christian man
in the county will vote for any candi-
date, no matter what his party or
alleged principles, who will directly
Or indirectly countenance the use of
liquor in this campaign. When you

No one not a total abstainer can
join the National Bartenders' Asso-

assert, moderate drinking is only
beneficial and the poor laboring man
needs drink occasionally to keep up
his strength, why should he deprive
his bartender of it's benefits? Who
can tell

New York City.

New York, March 24-Park avenue,

The brownstone fronts of several four.

The first serious cavern occurred when

TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS WIN
Michigan Telephone Company Must
Give Full Service to Subscribers
of Old Company.

Detroit, Mich, March 24.-The
Wayne circuit court, sitting en- banc
Saturday, granted mandamus re-
quiring the Michigan Telephone COM
pany to extend to the remaining SUBJ
scribers of the late Detroit Telephone
company, which was absorbed by the
Michigan company its full service and
connections. For time after the alb
sorption the Michigan company ex-
tended its full service to the subscribe
ers of the Detroit company. Michigan
rates were cut to the same figure as
charged by the Detroit company and
most of the subscribers to the lat
ter company then put in Michigan tel
ephones, which were superior. Several
months ago. when the Michigan COM
pany installed new switchboard and
raised its rates, the few remaining De-
troit company subscribers were cut
off from full service and given connec-
tions only with each other. They petit
toned for the mandamus. The case
will be appealed to either the state SUI
preme court or the United States
courts.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

In the new Constitution Their,
are few innovations made in tn,
organization and government 0.
counties. One of the principa
changes is that county treasures
are not permitted to be elected fol
more than two consecutive terms.
nor serve as deputies for their i'm
mediate successors. This provision
is also, in the next succeeding ar
ticle, made applicable to treasurers
Of cities.
Commissioners Of the revenue are
allowed to be either elected or ap-
pointed, as may be prescribed by
law, but in case they are elected,
they are made ineligible for re-
election at the next succeeding
term.
The county boards of supervis-
ors are required to meet at fixed
periods, and not at irregular times
as at present, the idea being that
in counties which desire to retain
the monthly meeting of its people
heretofore afforded by the sittings
of the county court, what is desired
can be accomplished by having
the monthly meeting of the board
Of supervisors, as is substantially
the practice in West Virginia.
where they have no county Judges. |
All county elections are required
% be held in the fall. In fact there
will be no more spring elections ex-
'ept for mayors and councilmen Of
titles. Once in two years there
will be congressional elections, and
4 each of the alternate two years
here will be a State, county and
ity election held together in the
all. 1t is believed that this will
e quite decided reform.
