men among the many who have lately
fallen from our ranks. ] remember one
a typical pioneer. who passed away
some years ago-a man who nearly
half cetury ago left fear and nun

while he packed his things and started
for the west; a man who started IN the
world with poverty and bravery ana

NAUTICAL problem of the sun dial. When
came again he talked the poetry OF

good man, be unusual strength OF
mind. He formed his own opinions and
expressed them with an independence
that was heroic. And yet he was al

few with whom ii was safe 20 differ.
Over the heights and natural rugged
ness of his argument there always
shone that light of sympathy and wit.
/ never heard him speak evil OF an alb
sentee-for him it was not necessary.
This is one of the tests of merit and
of men. He was among the earliest
settlers. and although with weary feet
he trudged along a rough and stony
way. yet his heart was always cheer
full, and even to his last and sudden
illness, there shone that wit as bright
as fire, and hallowing all his life, there
was that sympathy-deep and grand,
far-reachins as the sea.

THOSE SUNDAY SUPPLEMENTS

Time was when comic paper was
expected to be funny, when art was ac-
cessory and humor requisite to its illus
trations. The comic supplements to the
Sunday newspapers are sad illustra-
tons OF the change in this respect.
Their pictures are daubS of colored inks
which a few years ago wcnld have been
prima facie evidence of de-
lirium tremens in the press room. Art
is lacking ard the alleged fun in a
comic picture of the ordinary art"
supplement of the Sunday paper is the
silliest buffoonery. totally devoid of
amusement TO any but the asinine or
weak minded. The prarks of its chill
dren border on the vicious and its
grown ups are fools. The!r language is
not comedy. but idiocy. There Is moth
ing eleratins or instructive about the
Sunday supplement; on The contrary its
tendency is degenerativc. 1t is better
out of the house than in It.
What has become of The artists who
were real funmakers- Has the new
school of blue paint and the whitewash
brush driven them GU. of existence
The public that buys papers misses
them and if some enterprising and
sensible publisher Nigh: he able to res-
urrect and employ a capable half dozen
of the old school the circulation sheet
would be likely to show the wisdom of
mis- act. The artist of the present need
not thus be thrown out of employment
SO long as elevators ard water tanks
need the protection of paint his services
will remain In demand.

But now are Dads,

To the other days
When they thought college ways
Were hard sleGdin';
And the Faculty was job lot
They wanted to swat

And Latin was tough,
And Greek was rough,
And Mathematics was rank stuff
And the whole shooting match was
enough
To make Il student
Drop out any time
And pursue a career of crime.
That's how
They used to feel. Now
The Dads
Would give anything to be lads
And the old Grads
Hike back to the other days
And the college ways;
And they're filled with praise
OF knowledge
And college
And they blow hot air
Into the Faculty, for fair:

Makes Canes of Newspaper

Several authors and publishers IN
various parts of the country have re-
ceived appeals recently from man IN
Colorado who describes himself as a
convict and who has apparently found
an easy way to make comfortable liN-
ing from the tender hearted. The per-
son selected to contribute to this enter
prising individuals welfare receives
by express at his home or office very
heavy cane, light in color, highly pol
ished. and topped with handle of
onyx.
At the same time comes letter, in
which it is explained that the cane IS
the handiworll of the Colorado penal
institutions. The writer says that I'M
der the Colorado law the convicts are
not employed, and that time hangs
heavy on their hands. He himself. he
says. thru the favor of the prison keep
ers, has been allowed to have copies
of various newspapers and periodicals
to read and these he asserts he worked
up into the cane which he SENDS.
The cane, he declares, is composed of
sheets taken from one particular pub
lication, and the writer is careful to
name a paper or magazine IN when
the recipient may be expected to take
some interest. Thus, an Indiana author
was told that the cane sent him was
made from a newspaper to which he
is a contributor and a New York pub

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Register and Leader reasserts
that the great strength of the repub-
lican party has been its coherency, its
ability to agree upon a program and to
measurably carry it out. No party
ought to be entrusted with power in this
country WHICH does not possess this in
dispensable quality. Our national in
terests are become too vast and too
complex. Too many dangers threaten
a divided and distrusted administration
of public affairs"

DIes of Old Accident.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Feb. 2.-(Special)
Charles Stevens, a lad of about II years,
died Friday night, as the result OF inju-
ries received in the storm Of July 4, 1901.
Stevens was among the several thousand
who we're in the tent OF the Gentry Bros
dog and pony show, and had just witnessed
the entree when a fearful storm suddenly
came up, and without giving the occupants
of the tents or the managers of the show
any warning completely wrecked the tents,
the poles and rigging and canvas falling
down over the assembled men, women and
children. There were no fatalities, strange
as 1t seemed, but several were severely
injured. Stevens had his skull fractured
life and death for weeks. The surgeons
finally succeeded in saving life and reason,
and the pieces of skull we're made to grow
together sufhciently for temporary protec-
tion. However, a silver plate under the
weak portion was designed. but the lad
never became strong enough to dare to
undergo the operation. About two months
ago he became worse, the ailment result
ing from the injury and death resulted.

BIG SHELTER CLOSED FOR GOOD
Ores VIII BE shipped Instead of BE-
ing Treated at the Dead
wood Plant.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Feb. 2.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-THE men who walked out Of
the Golden Reward smelter Saturday night
are still out. The fires in the furnaces
have been drawn ana 1t is asserted that the
smelter willinever again be started, at least
not under the present management.
The Deadwood labor union, a branch of
the Western Federation OF Labor, which
the men afhliate with. held a meeting last
evening and concluded to stand by the
strikers.
Harris Franklin, who is at present in
New York, has wired to take all of the
men from the mines OF the company with
the exception of enough to supply the com
pany's cyanide plant in this city with ore
and to notify the men to call at the ONCE
OF the company on Thursday next and get
their time, and to then inform them that
the big smelter has been closed down for
good and not to expect 1t to resume opera
lions. The men take a more hopeful view
OF the situation and believe that so large a
plant will not long be allowed to remain
idle.
The shutting down Of the company's
mines is a severe blow to the upper coun-
try. and will throw almost 1000 men out Of
employment. The principal owners OF the
Golden Reward are e. H.. Hartman and
Samuel W. Allerton. and 1T is understood
that they are in accord with Mr.. Franklin
in his determination TO have the company's
ores treated by outside plants. There has
been no trouble or disturbance caused by
the strike, and everything is quiet.
