LABOR REWARDED.

The whirligig of time does away
queer things, but history fails to ten
a stranger tale of pluck and perseyer-
ance than is found in this dispatch
from Tacoma:
After seven years of hard work on
the Yukon River, John Horn and his
wife are coming South on the steam
ship Humboldt, to spend the remain
der of their days luxuriously near Los
Angeles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horn went to the
Upper Yukon River from Los Angeles
in 1895. The wife went to the Birch
Creek diggings, near Circle City, and
did laundry work for miners. Early
and late she toiled over her washtub,
being paid in Circle City gold In the
winter of 1896 reports of the Klondike
strike reached the couple. With pro-
fits from her washtub, Mrs. Horn
"grubstaked" her husband to join the
stampede to the Klondike. He obtain
ed claim on Bonanza Creek. It
proved SO rich that Mrs. Horn soon
joined him.
During the period of its first devel-
opment Mrs. Horn turned the wind
lass which brought golden sands to
the surface, while her husband worked
below in the shaft. Since then more

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

The article entitled Rights and
Duties" recently promulgated through
the Christian Science Sentinel. Of Bos-
ton, aud copied in the Herald last
week is hailed by the secular press
throughout the country as the first
step in radical modification of Chris
tian Science. The article was written
by the editor of the official organ and
is supposed to have been inspired by
Mrs. Eddy herself. The significant
words are: Until the public thought
becomes better acquainted with Chris
tian Science, the Christian Scientists
shall decline to doctor Infectious or
contagious diseases" This apparent
admission that disease exists, and that
some forms of disease are infectious,
and some contagious, is considered
something new by the systems critics,
who hail it with delight. The order
follows closely the Indictment in
White Plains, for manslaughter, of
three Christian Scientists who attend
ed little girl who died of malignant
diphtheria, and it is generally suppos-
ed that it is a result or that indict-
ment. Says the New York Herald:
'Inasmuch as communicable dis
eases will spread in spite of pray
er, there is obviously a material
element in the solution of the
problem which no purely spiritual
logic can controvert. Until some
new law for disease propagation
can be discovered, it is admitted
ly safe for the followers of the
new cult to abide their time for
better proofs of their faith and
works than have yet appeared.
Taking the purely material
and rational view of disease, it
is hard for the general public to
resist the conviction that not only
on the point in question, but on
every other one connected with
the prayer cure, the more the
privileges of the self-confident
and visionary scientists are cur
tailed the better for all con-
cerned."
Other critics are even more severe,
and almost with one accord they
claim that a vital principle of the
science has been exploded from with

NO MYSTERY ABOUT 1T.

The editor of the Pulaski Independ-
ent wrote to department stores in Chi.
cago and obtained their catalogues
from which he learned that they
would sell 100 pounds of best granulat-
ed sugar for $3.50. The freight
amounted to 26 cents and money or.
der and stamp 10 cents, making the
total cost $5.47. Then he went around
among the merchants and found they
were selling 100 pounds Of better
grade of sugar at from $3.50 to $500.
Thereupon he inquiries: "Why do peo-
pie purchase their commodities from
the department stores? THE ques-
tion," he regretfully adds, lis more
than we can answer when we stop to
think that household necessities can
be bought here cheaper than in Chi.
cago."
The editor of the Pulaski paper
seems to think that he has run up
against an impenetrable mystery-one
of those things that never has been
and probably never will be explained.
In point Of fact, however, declares the
Keokuk Gate-City, the explanation is
very simple and near at hand. The
Chicago department stores advertise
that they will sell 100 pounds best
granulated sugar for $3.50. The Pu-
lash merchants do not. The same is
true as regards other commodities.
There is that difference and it &C
counts for the diversion Of patronage
from home merchants to those in the
large cities. 1t is advertising that
sells household necessities and other
goods for the department stores in
Chicago and elsewhere at an advanced
price. The editor of the Independent
ought to have been able to learn the
price of sugar in Pulaski stores from
the columns of his newspaper. In
stead of that he had to go in person
to the stores of local merchants and
make inquiry in order to find outwhat
inducements they were offering in that
line. Possibly some of those same
merchants are also wondering why
people send away to the city for goods
when they could buy them cheaper at
home. If so, they should welcome the
delicate hint these lines are intended
to convey. Let them advertise to sell
100 pounds of best granulated sugar at
$3.50 to $500, as compared with the
Chicago department store price of
S5.74, and there will be no further
cause for complaint about people send
ing away from home for that particu-
lar commodity.

The Muscatine Journal would like
to know how much real reform can
come from the election of Millionaire
Hearst to congress by the Tammany
crowd in New York City? According
to his own sworn statement he spent
over $4,000 for election expenses. He
posed as the poor mans friend
throughout the campaign. What a
travesty on our broad intelligent cleo
ton franchise is the spectacle of a
man taking a seat in congress under
these circumstances.

"A rural correspondent of Ham,
ilton county paper recently sent in the
as her weeks contribution:
There's nothing new to relate
Things are moving same old rate,
Same old getting up and down,
Same old teakettle putting on,
Same old work, same old way,
Same old cooking three times day,
Same old dishes all to wash,
Same old pie (Hubbard squash),
Same old baking ginger cake,
Same old husking mittens to make
Same old washing and ironing to do
Same old scrub and churning, too
Same old baking bread-a batch,
Same old pair of pants to patch.
Same old combing frizzy head,
Same old tumbling into bed.

The annual sale of property for
taxes Monday. was the smallest ever
known in Mahaska county. Last year
held the record up to that time, but
this year made still better showing.
In 1901, one hundred and seventy
eight pieces were sold, while this year
only IA went under the hammer.
There were a number of bidders, but
none offered more than the full
amount of taxes for the whole prop
erty. The sale amounted to less than
$1,000. This is an excellent showing
for county of $4,000 people, and
speaks a good word, too, for Treas
urer Eby, who went out of his way
to personally notify many of the prop
erty owners before the sale.
