Apple Time.

The apples were ripe and beginning to fall
iowni down. they came, one and all
The children danced and ca pered with glee
And cried aloud, This ones for me-
These apples. so rosy and round and ripe
Were just the kind for childrens delight
And as they scampered across the lea
They laughed and talked Of their wonderful tree.
The apples We're not only for the little chums
But also for the older ones
Who ga thered them up and put them In cans
And sent them away to far of lands.

II everything were upside down.
And turkeys walked into the town
To buy something they could enjoy
For Thanksgiving dinner, say a plump little boy:
II ything were topsy turyey
And the turkeys all In a hurry
To dress the boy twho had grown some thinner,
And nix him up for Thanksgiving dinner
If everything were turned around
And the poor little boy was served up brown
j wonder what his would say
To such queer Thanksgiving day?

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was black as dirt
1t went out In the yard one day
And ate up Mary's shirt
Mary had a little lamb.
1t was thin as wire.
1t sighted Mary's bike one day
And ate up her new tire.
Mary went out walking once
Among the leafy bowers,
And of course, she took her lamb along,
And 1t ate up all the flowers.
Mary's lamb was sliding once
Upon hill of wax.
1t hit stone bout halfway down
And went TO Halifax"
Mary searched all day for ii
And at last she found IL there
She was glad to see her lamb
Bur the lamb-ft did not care.
1t followed Mary meekly home,
But then set right to work;
1t ratded the yard next door
And became terrible Turk.
1t looked for all the clothes and such
And ate mp every one,
So that when 1t got through at last
1t weighed about ton.
1t then gained entrance to Mary,s house
And searched 1t through and through.
And ate up most all 1t saw
From noon till haif-pa two.
And when It got out doors once more
1t didn't know what to do
So 1t slept for twenty happy years.
AT least, for al 1t knew.

Some of the people of the Bible are not as

time-the time of beginnings-the Band of

All of the animal world, even the wild
creatures of the fields and forests belong

three things we'll worth working for.
Then. we shall want to know something
about what you are doing In your societies.

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
New Idea to Be Considered in connec.
tion With Iowa Politics.

4 -
Des Moines, Jan. S.-Those who look
far ahead in the matter of politics in
Iowa have to reckon now with new
idea, that of biennial elections. 1t is
now conceded that Governor Cummins
tand Lieutenant Governor Herriott will
be renominated by acclamation this
year and will be elected by big major
tiles. 1t is almost conceded that Judge
Bishop will be renominated and elect
ed When he is elected next year it
I will be in the face of strong possi-
bility that he will serve three years
more. The biennial election amend
ffment has been so worded that if it is
adopted by the people it will have the
effect of extending terms of the Off
,scers elected to state and county posi-
sJtions in the year 1908 for one year,
3this making all the official terms begin
iat the same time. If the amendment
ais adopted, and the overwhelming SEN
1 timent of the state now is for it's
adoption, there will be an election in
s19O4 but not in 1905. 1t therefore
t1nakes political speculation as to who
yvill be the governor to succeed Cum
lnins or the next lieutenant governor
somewhat vague and uninteresting.
Ut is recognized that good many
things may happen in Iowa before the
time comes to inaugurate another gov
e. nor, especially if one year is given
to absolute rest from politics, thing
never before tried in this state.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
w. 3. MARTIN MAY ASK FOR GOV.
ERNoRsHIP.
Lead the Ticket Last November and
His Friends Think This Entities
Him to Consideration AS a Candi.
date for the Place.

Des Moines January 8. =
The recent publication of
the fact that w. l.. Eaton of Os--
age was likely to be centered on as a
candidate for governor in 1905 to sue
ceed Governor Cummins has aroused
all manner of discussions on this sub
ject in political circles. The friends of
Secretary W. B. Martin, secretary of
state, do not hesitate to declare them
selves in favor of Martin, rather than
Eaton. 1t has been considered for
months that Mr. Martin was looking
toward the governorship and that he
was being groomed with his own con
sent for the Office of chief executive.
1t is generally known that one of the
strong reasons why Mr. Martin is like
ly to go in quest of the office is that
he led the ticket at the election last
November. Not only was his vote
larger than that of any ether state of
ticer but he also ran ahead.$ of the
congressman in nearly every case in
the congressional districts.

Wounded Pal Took His Place in
the Holdup.
SAYS IT is HIS FIRST BIG CRIME
Burglar Shot at Hamilton by p. suIli-
van Says He is Chicago Gambler
and That He Has Wife and Two
Children.

Knoxville, Jan. S.-(SpeciaD
cause one of the burglars who held up
and robbed P. Sullivan in his home at
Hamilton few days ago, was intoxi-
Gated and lost his nerve, Charles Ar
dell of Chicago, who IS in jail here in
dangerous condition as the result of
a gun shot wound in the jaw and in
one of his legt, became bandit. At
least this is the explanation of the af-
: fair given by the wounded man, who
s..-was shot by Sullivan after the former
had held Zip the latter, his divorced
wife and his sister in their home at
Hamilton and robbed them of nearly
$4,000.
Ardell-he says this is his name
alleges thai he resides in Chicago and
is gambler. He AYERS that the Ham
ilton affair is his first attempt at
crime. He says that the two men who
: were with him when the crime was
/. committed acquainted him with the
! fact that booty was to be gotten from
the Sullivans and that he would not
!. have been concerned in it further than
s:.to hold the1team of horses had not one
of the men became Intoxicated and
Srlost his nerve. He says that he then
! took hand in the actual work. He
says that after he was shot by Sulli.
van that one of his pals robbed him
of all he had, including the amount
taken from Sullivan.
A woman has been here to see Ar.
.Fdell, but who she is nobody knows.
Ardell claims to be married and to
have two children. He is in a danger.
GUS condition owing to the shot having
4 carried portion of his trousers into
shis leg and a portion of his mask into
his jaw. All of the foreign matter
must come out by suppuration and
there is chance of blood poison,
The amount of his bond has been
fixed at $4,000, which he has been un.
able to obtain.
1t now turns out that Sullivan and
his wife were divorced in Mahaska
county. 1t is said that the money
which he had and which was taken by
the robbers was given him by his ex
wife in order to keep him away from
cher. Sullivan was not paymaster al
the mines as heretofore stated.

1t Will be the most extensive and hard

AFTER COAL TRUST
CONGRESS TO LOOK INTO EXIST.
ING CONDITIONS.
innocent Looking Resolution Adopted
That Insures Formidable Investiga--
ton of Price Advanees-Matters in
District of Columbia to Be Exposed.

Washington, D. c., Jan. SIN spite
of every effort to head it off, congress
sional investigation Of the coal ques-
ton, and particularly of the reasons
for the existing high prices, is now as
sured. Without any previous notice
and in fact, before the members of the
senate fully realized what they were
doing, aresolution offered by Mr.. Stew
art of Nevada, was passed. which pro-
vides for an immediate investigation
into the entire question of coal supply
and the relation between wholesale and
retail prices in the District of Colum-
bia.
Congress has absolute control of the
district, and 1t can pass any law it
chooses without regard to any consti-
tutional prohibition bearing upon in
fringment upon the rights of the states.
The resolution offered by Senator
Stewart provides for an Immediate in
vestigation in the interests of human
ity, and the result is that a dozen of
the principal coal dealers were cited
to appear before the District of Column
bia committee. This Investigation pro-
ceeds at once with all the authority of
congress, and it is certain that enough
will be elected to throw "a great flood
of light upon the coal famine and the
extortionate prices not only in Wash
ington, but in New York, Philadelphia
Chicago, and every other, large city
where anthracite is an important item
of fuel.
Not even Mr. Stewart himself was
prepared for the rapidity with which
the resolution was adopted. The trust
defenders in the senate for the mo-
ment were occupied with other mat
tiers and they thought the resolution
was merely one of inquiry as to exist
ling conditions. When it was too late
they realized that an actual and for
Rlidable congressional investigation
had at last been authorized.
Washington, Jan. 3sThe house to-
day entered upon consideration Of
the Philippine constabHlary bill.
| Senate. 49,,
| In the senate after Sc passage of
a couple Of unfmportant bills, Aldrich
addressed the senate on resolution
offered by Vest directing the, finance
committee to report bill removing
the duty on anthracite COAL
The committee oGthe Philippines to-
day took favorable action upon an
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill appropriating $2,5OO,0OO
for the purchase of draught animals
for the Filipinos.
Aldrich said the resolution would
not afford the desired relief. 1t in
fringed on the rights of the house
with respect to revenue bills and would
bring on an interminable discussion.
The resolution, he asserted, was sim
| ply to furnish test for political
| speeches. Vest replying said AID
rich's remarks could be read between
the lines He simply was opposed to
the resolution. Without action the
resolution went over and considera-
ton of the omnibus statehood bill was
resumed.
