wealth of to-day is wrung from he peo- pie. Force. luck and cunning are it's chief sources. The churches are fore most in condoning this kind Of philan- thropy"
 In d talk to teachers in Milwaukee Dr. John Bascom. formerly president of the University of Wisconsin, said; II never go near the divinity school in Chicago without wanting to tell them what I think of their accepting money made by 1e underselling of poor men, crowding {. am out of business and i'm mediately raising the price of wares; accepting, I say, this money out of the ruin of good and honest tradesmen. and trying to train young men to the gospel with this money and under the intiu- ence of such men,"
 Of course there shouldn't be any bad money, but If there is the question whether good should be or can be done with it is decidedly interesting anu HIT portant. Is it better for University to be poor and honest than rich and lacking in moral tone? If man has robbed the people perhaps he doesn't
 clear himself by founding churches, h- | braries, universities or hospitals. But should a robbers money be refused by those who will try to do good with 1t II
 they take it? As long as we hayent l reached stage of development in
 which there are no robbers, and as long
 as robbers will rob. should they be al-
 lowed either in repentance or beneYo-
 lence, to give back some of their steal jngs? We pause for a reply.

GnOD RENULETiON.

One of the good resolutions to start the New Year with is the resolution to pay the January bills promptly. Such payment makes both the payer and the payee feel better it oils the machinery of trade and scatters good around. Needless delay in payment makes bad feeling, hurts both the man who should pay and the man who should be paid, and is in many ways hostile to Happy New Year.
 One great beauty of the good resolu- ton to pay the January bills promptly is that it is, if made, more likely to be kept than some of the good resolutions. It doesn't have time to get sicklied OCT with the pale cast of thought or thought lessness. A resolution that wont keep or be kept a month may last two or three days. Pay the little bills" and congratulate yourself on having kept one good resolution.

A peculiar attraction made by the czarina has been much talked about and criticised in St. Petersburg. She has had the study of Alexander IT., which up to now has been preserved untouched, turned into a bath room. In this room Alexander II. signed the manifesto which abolishes serfdom in Russia, and thus gave liberty to 2O,- 100000 of his subjects. However long I may live hall never be able to do a better deed" Alexander said when he had signed it. He expressed the wish that the room should remain just as it was. For forty years nobody touched this sacred spot. But now, by order of the czarina, all the documents and his- sorical relics have been put into a lum- Der room. The Imperial library in St. Petersburg has taken steps to have at least the historical documents saved.

Perhaps the most sumptuous smoking rooms in this country are those which the government has provided for the members of the house of representa- tives in the rear of representatives, hall. The chairs are luxurious affairs, upholstered in buff leather, while the couches and sofas are of the same material The rugs and pictures are as fine as those found in any of the public buildings and here the members retire and smoke and gossip and yet are able to keep track of what is going on in the house through the wide, swinging glass doors. There is but one rule in the smoking rooms, and it applies to that used by the democrats as well as that of the republicans. It hangs in the center of the wall of each and reads: Strangers and cigarettes not

There is at least one man who feels safer in jail than out. John Rode, prisoner in the Indiana State prison, recently told Warden Reid that while out on parole he had been chased by highway robbers, and fearing that he would have his money taken from him, he buried it in a sand pile along one of the country roads leading out of Mich igan City. After burying the money he walked into Michigan City and asked the warden to take him back, saying that he was happier inside. The man was given his old cell. The warden, to verify the story, gave Rode half @ day off to recover his money. Within a few hours the prisoner returned, carry ing tin can under his coat. In it was $115, which Rode had saved from his pension.

PLENTY OF IT.
Lots More Proof Like This, and it is
All from Ottumwa People.


"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating of it." If any city or town in the
union has sufficient proof on the fol.
lowing subject 1t is Ottumwa. Genuine
merit is finding its reward in the
hearty endorsation of local citizens.
When people right here at home =
friends and neighbors of our readers
give statement like the following for
publication, it is proof convincing for
the most skeptical. Read this testi-
mony:
Mrs. Ellen Hendrick, of 1899 West
Second street says: 'In the fall Of
1897 and the winter of 1898 I suffered
more than 1 can express with my back
and kidneys. There were times when
would have taken any sort of medicine
if there was any possibility of obtain
ing assistance. | was fortunate in some
way to notice Doans Kidney Pills in
one of our papers, and with very little
faith in their advertised claims, I pro-
cured a box from Will l.. Sargent's
drug store. A few doses convinced me
that l had at last obtained a remedy
which was having visible effect. Con.
tinuing the treatment after this encour-
agement | can conscientiously say
from experience that the relief obtain
ed from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills
has been more than transitory. I am
not the only one in Ottumwa who has
advised the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills to their friends and acquaint.
ances, nor am 1 the only one who has
good reasons to recommend that prep.

RAINFALL ABOVE NORMAL.
Crop Bulletin Says Recent Rains Will
Result in Abundance of Pasturage.

Result In Abundance of Pasturage.
The recent rains will result in great
er benefit to the crops than in damage
thereto if the predictions made in the
state crop bulletin for the weeks end
ing August 81 are fulfilled. The crop
bulletin says:
The week past brought three days
of warm weather. and the balance of
the week was cloudy, wet and cool.
The average daily deficiency in temper
ature was to degrees. The rainfall
was above normal in all parts Of the
state, and reports show phenomenal
downpours at numerous stations in
the west central and southern districts
ranging from to II inches the larger
part Of which fell on the afternoon and
night of the twenty sixth. There was a
general need of showers, especially in
the southern part of the state, and it
is probable that the beneficial effects of
of copious moisture will exceed the
damage to the corn crop resulting from
local floods and high winds. AS a
whole the crop made some advance
ment, and with month of good ripen-
ing weather, considerable portion of
the acreage planted may reach maturi-
ty. In the present variable and criti-
cal condition of corn, no one is wise
enough to forecast the final output.
There is absolute certainty, however,
as TO the urgent need of warm and dry
weather for the greater part of the
coming month.
The copious rainfall assures ample
pasturage and facilitates fall plowing
which is well begun. Late potatoes
have been benefited though there are
numerous reports of damage by rot
ting. The fall apple crop is quite good
in the northern half of the state. Win
ter apples very light.

FINDS MISSING WATCH.
Time Piece Stolen From keokuk Man
Recovered by Chief Gray.

A valuable watch, worth at least
$3.50, which was stolen from Hon John
Z. Craig, of Keokuk while he was
boarding train at Abba last Saturday
evening was recovered Monday by
Chief of Police Gray in a local pawn
shop. There is no question as to the
identification of the property as the
owners name is engraved on the inner
side of the case. The watch was stolen
by pickpocket in the rush to board
Burlington passenger No. 6. Mr.. Craig
was returning from Des Moines, where
he had been in attendance at the state
fair. He missed the property shortly
afterwards, but it was then too late
to attempt to recover it.
The Ottumwa police were notified and
Monday Chief Gray found the watch
in pawn shop where it had been
hooked for $40. Mr.. Craig was the
democratic nominee for congress in
the first district last year, and is well
known in this city.

FEAR REVOLT.
The Colombian Authorities See Trou
BILE With Panama.

I ne Colombian Authorities See Trou-
BILE With Panama.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 1.-Semi-of-
ficial information received here via
Kingston, Jamaica, indicates that
great unrest prevails in Panama and
that there is grave danger of revolt
ty the people of the isthmus in case
the Colombian government fails to
come to terms with the United States.
While the United States government
is Going nothing whatever directly or
indirectly to encourage rebellion by
the department of Panama, your cor
respondent is able to say upon most
excellent authority that the United
States would quickly recognize the
Independence of Panama and immed-
lately proceed to do two things:
First-Land sufficient force to
carry out our obligations under the
treaty of 1876, which require the Unit
ed States to keep open all transisth-
mian routes of communication.
Second-Conclude a treaty with
Panama for control of a strip of terri
tory needed for the canal. Meanwhile
DE-. Herran, representative of Colon
bia at Washington, continues to de-
clare there is most excellent pros
ject that the congress at Bogota will
authorize President Marroquin to ar
range terms with the United States.
Dr. Herran is in daily expectation of
receiving favorable news from his gov
ernment.
1t is obvious that the present policy
OF President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay is the correct one under the cir
cutnstances which exist at this mo.
ment. The administration declines to
int icate what it will do in case all eff
forts to come to an understanding
with Colombia shall fail 1t will not
cross that stream until it is come to.
Presumably all of the many rumors
now in circulation of the possible ces-
sion of Panama, of recourse to the
Nicaragua route, ofs other means of
forcing the hand of Colombia which
President Roosevelt is known to have
under consideration, find their way in
one form or another to Bogota and
produce great sensation among the
statesmen there assembled. What
the effect upon them will be is, OF
course, matter of speculation.

Ohio Gold and Silver Democrats Up in
Arms Against Tom johnson.

Springfield, Ohio, Sept. There are
indications of a far-reaching revolt
against Tom l.. Johnson and both the
gold democrats and the free silverites
are up in arms against his candidacy.
A secret conference was held in this

John Lentz, two of the leading Bryan
democrats of the state. While Book
walter is reticent it is stated that they
agreed that it would never do to sup
port the Johnson ticket with John H.
Clarke, gold man, as the senatorial
nominee, and the upshot was that for
mer Postmaster 7. D. Wallace, lead
ing democrat of this city, was sent to
Cleveland to tell Johnson that he must
either throw Clarke off the ticket or
lose the support OF the free silver men
of the state.

After one leaves Hastings, Neb.,

have to depend upon irrigation. The
valleys are very productive when wa

Congress should also see that a few

is the only free park around, while to

there are few individuals who almost
