TEMPERANCE COLUMN
Conducted by the w. {. 4. U.
Prosperity And Poverty.


Our country has gone by leaps and
bounds ia material growth during tine
last five years In commerce it stands
first among the nations. 4 large Ior-
sion Of the worlds food come S from its
great centers rs never before known in
The worlds history. Its gold reserve is
larger than that of any other two nations
combined. Savings banks show large
additions to their deposits. Kansas
alone has over eighty millions OF dollars
in her banks, a large portion OF this is
owned 10y farmers. which shows that
mortgages have gone out Of fashion.
And yet in the midst OF go much pos.
perity is heard the wall Of the poor and
starving in the large cities, During the
holidays this was brought forcibly 10
our Knowledge From one end OF our
country to the other the newspapers
held up to our view the great army of
the poor fed on Christmas day. In
Kansas City over five thousand were
fed. In the midst of so much abundance
why is there so much poverty? While
we are seeking for foreign markets for
our surplus products, thousands Of
half starved women and children abound
in our land. Why have we such
destitution in our large cities?
Trusts and combines may be RESPONSE
bic for some Of il. But no one who has
given any thought to the saloon and its
intimate relation to the poverty stricken
districts arOInd it can be in doubt as to
the cause Of the greatest portion OF il.
Our staten N including Pres. Roosevelt
Bryan and scores of others are consider
iug how TO protect the people from the
unrighleous greed of these mouopolies
but pot one Of them has a word to SAY
about the biggest trust and mo1oply of
them ALL he Whiskey Trust
The beef trust gives US beef even if it
is costly The steel trust furnishes
material vitality essential to our ciyiliza-
ton even il it, charges be oxtortionate.
Railways may bo pluadering and so of
others trusts. Thy may rob u but we
receive that by which we are benefited.
But the Whisxey Trust is an
unmitigated curse and where it has its
great stronghold there the people
are the most degraded and
Impoverished. The poverty which
comes to our front SO udpleasantly at
Christmas times is there all tho time
and can be accounted for il Wa bring
the saloon into point OF view. The poor
are held in its huge coils and are help
less, They cry but we heed them not.
4 short time ago we liberated Cuba
from the bondage of Spain. Shall we
do less for those in our midst?
MAY SWING MATTHEWS.

Bot gladly performed the 'ta5 God

And thea no took her away.
Her life hal been 80 true,
That when death she met, =
Tn 're way nothing b recall,
Aud nothing to regret.
The family tic was broken,
When Elsie was called away.
On earth they will Toe separated.
But in heaven they II meet again.
To her parents she was always

There WAS nothing that she wouldn't 10

And their troubles few.

DEPUTY TREASURER.
Home Paper Compliments New County
Official.

Fremont Gazette: frank B. Davis,
who has held the position of deputy
treasurer of Mahaska county, last
week resigned his position to take
charge of the business of the Illinois
Life Insurance Company in central
Iowa. Upon learning of the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Davis the many friends or
]. N. Endicott, Sr., in this locality urg-
ed Treasurer Eby to appoint the vail
ant old soldier to fill the vacancy. Mr..
Eby took the matter under considera-
ton and upon Saturday afternoon told
"a representative of the Gazette that
he had decided to appoint Mr.. Endi-
colt, the news of which was received
by Mr.. Endicott's many friends over
the county with a degree of satisfac-
ton that duty we'll done had been re-
warded.
Mr.. Endicott is an old soldier, hay
ing been a member of Co. B, 5Sth In
diana Vols, and was in the war from
1861 until he received an honorable
ulSCudISS Ill 1oOO' LlS was Win INV
man in that generals famous march
to the sea, and saw about as many
hard knocks in the service of his coun-
try as the next one.
He has been a resident of this coun-
ty for the past 27 years, 26 of which
he has lived in Cedar township.
He is an uncompromising republi-
can, loyal to his party always, and a
faithful worker for the party's best in
terests. 1t is a common saying down
here that if you want to know what
the republican party is doing ask Joe
Endfcott.
He is a man of the strictest integ-
rity, honest in everything he says or
does and commands the respect of all
who know him.
He entered upon his duties yester-
day afternoon and his first official act
was the issuance Of tax receipt to
our fellow-tcwnsman, DR.. ]. B. Krout,
who says he will file away this receipt
as a memento.
We congratulate Mr.. Endicott upon
his appointment and have full conf
dence that the duties of the once will
be well done.

QUEEREST ON RECORD.
Wreck on Wabash that Escaped No
tice of Trainmen.

Des Moines Feb. 7.-Wm. Clapper,
chief clerk at the Wabash city ticket
Office, yesterday made out check for
five dollars which pays all the ex-
penses of what was probably the most
ordinary wreck in the history of the
company's operations. 1t is not often
that a train is wrecked without the
fact being known to the men having it
in charge, but that is exactly what hap
pened in this case.
The accident occurred between
Tracy and the Empire mine, the lat
ter being located about six miles from
Tracy at the foot of rather steep
grade. Along in December a train
containing twenty or lAIrty empty cars
started on it's way to the Empire mine.
In the rear, next the caboose, was a
car containing big load of corn which
was to be used for feed at Empire. As
the train was descending one Of the
sleeper of the grades built on a slight
curve and while velocity of the train
was something like forty-five or fifty
miles an hour, the car loaded with corn
suddenly broke the Jaenny couple in
the front and rear and jumped the
track and rolled down the embank-
ment. Just as it left the track the
rear of the car collided with the ca
boose and sheared off the front steps
on one side. The caboose then ran
ahead and collided with the next
freight car. The impact caused the
automatic coupler to work and tho
whole train was fastened together
again.
Arrived at Empire the conductor
sent a brakeman back to set out the
car of corn and to the surprise of all
it was found that it was missing. 1t
was then discovered that the caboose
steps were missing and further inves.
tigation revealed the fact that the car
had jumped the track.
The check for five dollars written
by Mr. Clapper yesterday went to the
man who picked up the corn. The
whole top of the car went out when
the car struck the ground and the corn
was distributed around for hundreds
of feet.

THE TRADE REVIEWS.
Dunn and Bradstreet Tell Of Coun-
try's Business.

New York, Feb. 7.-Bradstreet's
says: "Unfayorable weather condi-
tions may retard but they don't arrest
trade and Industrial development,
which continue in exceptionally full
volume for this season of the year.
Spring trade is earlier and of larger
volume than in any previous year, ana
the remarkable steadiness of prices is
evidence that stability in present con-
ditions is expected for some time to
come. Iron and steel is active for this
season, lumber production and demand
are brisk, and hardware is in heavy de-
mand. This progress is being made IN
spite of some drawbacks, but those
very shortcomings are evidence merely
of superintendent prosperity. The late
spell of mild weather has certainly
brought about an improvement in the
coal situation. Cold weather was re-
sponsible for lower prices for butter
and eggs in January, and some hog
products also declined; but cereals re-
manned steady, and textiles nearly all
advanced, as did several kinds of iron
and steel, copper, tin and naval stores,
offsetting the lower movement in
quotations of country produce, coal
and coke, petroleum, hides and some
grades of leather"
r. G. Dun &c Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: Vigorous vitality is con-
spicuous in trade and industry, despite
the handicap of overstrained and Ia
mentally inadequate facilities for
transportation. Concentrated efforts
to reduce the congestion at a few IA
vored points apparentlyintensified the
blockades elsewhere, and inclement
weather added a new disturbing factor
to an already complicated situation.
Every possible method is being adopt
ed to improve conditions; enormous
sums are appropriated for extensions;
yet accidents and losses are frequent.
Transatlantic vessels failed to leave
on schedule time and many manufac-
turing plants are closed in part or
wholly. Labor disputes are more nu-
merous, although not prevalent to any
extent in the leading industries.
Failures in the United States, 264
this week, against 263 last week, PCS
the preceding week and 261 the cor.
responding week last year, and in Can
ada 80, against 30 last week, 81 the pre-
ceding week and Is last year"
