Who Wrote Opportunity.

In the June issue of Suggestion
(Chicago) a magazine of the New
Psychology, the startling claim /:
boldly made that Jno. j. ingalls, die
not write the famous sonnet "Oppor
tunity" commencing
Master of human destiny am t.
In letter to the editor of Sug
gestion Dr. Nicola Gigliotti, an Italian
scholar and reformer now living in
Erie, Pa, claims that he wrote the
original version of Opportunity
and that the same was published in
several Italian journals prior to 1887.
DR.. Gigliotti's original poem was en-.
titled "The Fate" the first line being
"Arbitro 10 sono DELI unan destino," "
or in English:-
Master l am of human destinies." ."
DR.. Gigliotti odes not claim that In.
gals willfully plagari2ed "Opportun.
1t but explains that the late sen.
ator often made free translations of
bits Of foreign verse which appealed
to him, and that after death, his de-
voteh and loving but undiscerning
widow carefully gathered up many
Of these fragments and included them
among the products of her husbands
pen.
Dr. Gigliotti states that the poem
THE Fate" was not included in his

came from Ingalls, pen is very pow
erful and masterful piece of literature
but If DIR. Gigliottis statements are
not disproven, it must be acknowl.
edgeh that Opportunity" is only a
very fine translation of "The Fate"
DR. Gigliotti's free translation of his
verses are as follows

County School superintendent
Moores is man qualified for the
place, and will be reelected. During
the last two years he has conducted
the Office on broad gauge and has
made many friends throughout the
county.
Treasurer Richardson is a careful
and correct official. In these days
when so many officers are defaulting
or careless in their accounts it is wise
to have a man like Mr. Richardson in
the treasurer's Office. A vote for him
will be an endorsement of the record
of an honest man.
Surveyor Herrick needs few words,
for everybody knows double 3D." and
they have confidence in his ability.
Surveys are very particular, and the
county needs a man who under
stands the business. Herrick is COM
petent and accurate.

AGAINST PEACE CONGRESS.
Carnegie Says 1t Would Be Bad Move
at Present

New York. Oct. 24.-Andrew Carne-
gle, who arrived from England yester-
day in company with John Morley, the
English statesman and. author, de-
clared his opposition to the plan OF
calling peace conference at this time
and said such an action on the part OF
President Roosevelt would be an error
and would not be looked upon with fa-
vor in Europe.
Let us not call a peace conference
now, when two nations are struggling
in awful battle he said, after leaving
the steamer Celtic. Such an action
on the part of the president would be
a lamentable error and would be re-
garded with great diisfavor by the
powers of Europe
When informed that money was
needed to maintain the peace palace at
The Hague Mr.. Carnegie said:
II have nothing to do with that.
There is convention between the
powers to maintain it, and they should
not find any trouble in raising S1OO,000.
Mr.. Morley will make his first and
only address while in this country in
Pittsburg on November before the
Iron and Steel Institute.

five years ago. have made my life

dent Roosevelt, and have great re-
gard for him. President Roosevelt is

but he also combines practical politics

On the question of expansion he said
that he was much adverse to lectur-
ing any nation. He added:
..It is much easier to get into exter-
nal expension than to get out of It,
'All over England and the provinces
there is a growing good feeling to-
ward America. Every Briton admtres
America and her institutions"
Mr.. Morley will remain in America
until at least the last CT November.
He leaves the city tomorrow for Cam

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Fred Osborne Case Involving $4,000 Of
Real Estate Reversed.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Oct. 24.-"Osborne, appel
liant, VS.. Osborne, Poweshiek. Re
yersed." as the telegraph news ap-
peared in Saturdays T.-R. was good
news TO Fred Osborne and Paul Nor
ris. the young attorney. who carried
the case thru the supreme court. 1t
was en- equity case involving $4,000
ofreal estate. In the lower court when
tried by Judge Lewis and D. w. Norris
the case was dismissed and Fred Os-
borne the plaintiff, was required TO
paw costs. Young Norris then appeal
ed the case, took entire charge OF 1T
and secured a reversal OF the lower
court. The exact findings are not
known. but Fred Osborne either gets
the land or large sum of money.
The history of the Osborne case is
interesting. The parties are brothers.
Fred and his mother came to this
country from England in 1874. They
bought a piece of land. each contrib
uting part of the purchase money.
This business started, then continued
without interruption till 1901, when the
old lady died AS they accumulated
they bought more land, the mother.
Elizabeth Osborne, taking the title
and when she died there were
276 acres of land unincumbered.
Fred and his mohter lived together
Sam the defendant, left home when
he was 81, and worked for himself,
and never contributed a dollar or
days work to the accumulation of the
land in dispute. In 1897, Sam, fear
ing that his mother would leave the
land to Fred, unbeknown to Fred got
her when she was very old and feeble
and in her dotage, to give him deed
to all the land, to take effect at her
death. Fred brought suit to set aside
this deed, and either quiet title in him
he had ben in possession since 1874
or divide it ea,1itahlv. Now this the
sunreme court has done.

BRYAN CONTINUES CAMPAIGN.
Makes Short Speech at WheeIina w.
Va, Early This Morning.

Wheeling, w. ", Oct 24.-William j.
Bryan spoke to large crowd of peo-
pie at $3.50 o'clock this morning In
front of the Hotel Windsor. Bryan
said he was sorry he could not make
a longer stay in West Virginia, as in
the last campaign. Mr.. Davis had
worked heart and soul for him and
now he was returning the favor. He
said Parker stands for the constitution
and a government most adaptable to
this age. He condemned the colonial
policy and said Roosevelt stood for en-
largement Of the army. Bryan de-
parted over the Wheeling and Lake
Erie for Bridgeport, Ohio, where after
making fifteen minute speech he left
for Canton and will make speeches en-
route. Senator Fairbanks left in his
private car this morning for Ohio
points, having been in Wheeling since
Saturday.
Bryan in discussing militarism
made a plea for support of Parker for
president, and said in the white house
there was spirit of war instead OF
the spirit Of peace. He described the
labor troubles of Colorado and suspen-
son of constitutional liberty in that
state. The money question, he asser-
ued, was not so important now as it
was four Years ago. II used to see

PARKER TALKS CORRUPTION.
Accuses the Corporations Of contribu-
tinq to the Campaign Fund.

Esopus. Oct. 24.-Judge Parker today
laid aside the issues usually discussed
in national political contests and ad-
dressed a crowd of several hundred
persons on the general topic of cam
paign practices and abuses. He re-
buked the present administration for
the part the government officials are
alleged to be taking in the campa syn.
He charged that the officers OH o : =
government are now practically chos Z
by a handful of corporate managers
who contribute assets of the eopora-.
lions to keep the conduct of the goN-'
ernment in the hands they consider
best for their private interests. In
comparison of modern and early meth
DDS of raising money for conduct OF
political contests Parker said all class
es used to contribute to the campa gn
fund. Vast sums are now contribut-
ed by corporations, which they get
back thru government favors. This
has built up class called fioaters and
has made them most important fac
tor in elections"
Parker further charged that "Ex~
cessively protected interests have bee!
Joined by the trusts. Their plan is to
perpetuate the present administration,
to purchase four years more of profit
by tariff taxation or four years more
of extortion from the public by means
of monopoly"
He asked: why do they contribute,
if the public welfare and interests of
the subscribing corporation or trust
should conflict, which would likely be
protected"
"The question to be settled IS wheth-
er the foaters and illegal combinations
can together control the election in
this country. Such contest means on
one side vast sums of money and ev-
cry man with an itching palm. 1t
ought to array every honest indepen-
dent and patriotic citizens on the 9th

Washington, Oct. 24.-Acting Secre-
tary of theTreasury Taylor in state
ment issued today says the charge
made by Judge Parker that there have
been administration orders issued for
bidding the publication of information
concerning governmental expenditures

led into very palpable errors.

inst as anxious to get rid of the re-
frigerator companies and their special
cars as the shippers are. 1t is learn
ed that the companies are making
common cause with the shippers on
these lines, and that the railroad n1ar-
ayers now realize they have been MAX
ing a mistake in. allowing these lines
to grow UP and become SO strong. The
shippers claim tbae the special car
lines are made possible by reason OF
rebates and favors to them from the
railroad companies, and this is true.
but the railroad managers say they
find it hard to change the system.
The Determinations which are gener-
ally practiced in regard to Shipment of
meat and fruit and all perishable pro-
ducts come largely thru manipulation
of the fast freight or special car line
business.
The shippers Of Des Moines and
central Iowa are up in arms over the
which are being In
flicted upon them in regard to inter-
state freight rates. They are ready
to make war on such rates and join
in any movement to bring about con-
ditions which will give them fair
chance at the markets which belong
to them.
1t is learned, incidentally. that the
stock shippers have decided that in the
matter of securing the much desired
amendment to the interstate commerce
law which would authorize. the COM
mission to fix rates they will rely on
Senator Dolliver, provided they make a
proper showing Of the merits of their
bill, and that they find he is not at all
opposed to their plan on general prfn-
ciples. He is on the senate commit
tee before which the bills affecting the
commission would come for action
Railroads have found that the plan
of allowing competition between COM
mon points in Iowa, under the rulings
of the state commission, is good
thing and causes no complaint at any
point. 1t has not yet been applied
to freight business in all cases.

London, England, Oct. 24.-Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne will arrive in
London from the country this after
noon. Until then no official action
will be taken in regard to the North
sea incident, in which the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron sank one or more
British fishing boats and killed or
wounded several fishermen. While
public opinion insists that the fullest
reparation be made. there is no evi-
dence of undue excitement or of any
belief that International complications
will arise. The foreign Office this

ined by officials so the precise facts
on which LansdoWne may base a pro-
test later in the day may be estab-
lished.

GRAVE DANGER IN CHINA.
Conditions There Said to be Wors
Than Before the "Boxer" Outbreak.

London, Oct. 24-Bennett Burleigh
cables the Daily Telegraph from
Shanghai that the political outlook In
China is worse now than prior to the
boxer outbreak in 1900. Widespread
operations of secret societies, he says,
show a dangerous recrudescence Of
antiforeign feeling. Drilling of large
bodies of we'll equipped troops is pro-
ceeding night and day in many dis
tricts of southern and midnorthern
provinces, and the Chinese authorities
are buying all kinds of military equip
ments and stores.
