Rockwell, Jan. 30.-During the past
few weeks the writer has been more or
less in the Eleventh district, where a
congressional fight is already on, altho
the echoes of the last campaign nave
hardly died away. 1t is reported on the
best of authority that Mr. Thomas, the
present incumbent, stated positively
that he would not again be a candidate,
but his friends are already mentioning
him as his own successor. Judge Hub
bard is an out and out candidate. Mr..
Perkins of the Sioux City Journal is al
so mentioned by his admirers; also A.
B. Funk, of Spirit Lake. Then numer-
Gus correspondents, either by request or
as news gatherers, bring out the names
of several other gentlemen we'll quail
fled to represent Iowa at Washington.
But in the towns outside of Sioux City,
i.e., in the territory the writer visits
regularly, Hubbard, Perkins and Funk
are decidedly in the lead. Congressman
Thomas, while making hosts of friends
as a Judge, all talk in this line being
very complimentary to his reputation
as a jurist, will find it uphill work to
get a denomination for congress. He Is
not In touch with either the people or
the politicians. Judge Hubbard is
strong in Sioux City and adjacent ter
ritory, but lacks the personal acqua1nt-
ance of his district outside that Mr..
Perkins possesses But the latter, while

Lately he has been very fortunate in
some land deals, and his friends now
credit him with a desire to once more
get into politics. Mr.. Funk. Like all ac-
tive politicians, has made some enc
mics as we'll as many friends. but the
opposition that he would have to con-
tend with is all located in Dickinson
county. In a general sort of way, no

tions, the chief of which was that no

suBonlc PLAGUE PERSISTENCE.

Ii is greatly to be feared that the bu-
homie pIa que will break thru its barriers
and desolate some sections of the coun-
try that might be guarded from 1T by
the exercise of more caution 1t mas
lust been ascertained after a searching
investigation that this plague was con-
viewed to Mazatlan, Mexico, by rats
among vegetables shipped from China
town, San Francisco. AT this point
named in Mexico it broke out with
great yirulence, and created the widest
alarm.
The authorities at San Francisco
have questioned the claim that the dis
ease existed there in genuine form, and
some of the facts seemed to sustain
them. They have pointed out that the
results there differ from those in any
other place where the disease has
gained foothold There has been no
spread OF the disease in any quarter of
San Francisco, which is something UNI
paralleled elsewhere, nor has there been
any increase in the death rate in Chi
natown. But government experts have
maintained that bubonic plague exists
there and has existed for many months
and now proof that can not be ignored
comes to confirm it.
The persistence of the plague an
knocking at our national doors shows
! that it is menace that may well call
for double precautions in the way of
quarantine The authorities at Wash
ington can do not better than to begin
the exercise of vigilance at once before
| it is too late.
The fact that the plague has lately
appeared in Mexico and at Natal, South
Africa, shows how the virus of this filth
disease is searching the world for adj
ditional foothold: and If it succeeds in
gaining a Judgement in the great CEN
tiers of population it will be a reflection
upon the intelligence, Judgment and

WATTS good home with Cnrlsrlan los
ter parents. In the fourteen years of its
existence it has found homes for 1850
children. Some of the pictures of its
babies who have brought sunlight and
cheer into the childless homes of bank
ers, professional men and farmers ev-
erywhere, would warm the heart of any
person with the least spark of maternal
or paternal instinct. No one but the
childless woman can have any idea of
the anguish and lifelong disappoint-
ment she must suffer when nature de-
mics her a baby OF her own. No one but
the fond parent can have any concep-
ton of the joys and the new life that
enter a home with the laughter of little
children. Aged parents basking in the
AFTERNOON sun of life find renewed youth
and sustained interest in life in their
pride and wrapt attention to the affairs,
ambitions and joys Of their grown up
children. To grow old without the
companionship and love of child Is
like walking in ones shroud to ones
grave alone and unattended. The chill
dren are the Jewels of every domestic
setting. Without them, be the setting
ever SO rich and so attractive, the SPAR
kle of the jewel is gone. The place
where the jewel ought to be is always
apparent.
Meeting with a recognition of these
truisms in life the Iowa Children's Home
Society has gladdened the hearts of
hundreds of childless people. Homeless
waits are taken to the society home in
Des Moines, where they are cared for
by trained attendants until a home is
found that meets all requirements of
the society, and the child given to fos-

ously of superior advantage to the rail-

definite sum in case 1t was acquired by
another company.
While the scheme incidentally dis
closes the hostility of the broad-guage
lines to electric roads. it chiefly uncov-
ers a shrewd plan TO recoup itself fol
any loss that might otherwise occur.
