BERLIN, Oct. 20.

BERLIN, Oct. 80.
The German troops In the Herero coun-
try have a strange pet-a little brown
1-year-old Herero baby
The child fell into their hands after tho
battle OF Eastcrberg. when the flying He
reros abandoned all their belongings.
Amid medley OF oilskins and wagons
cattle. and old men and women. the pur-
suing Germans found this wailing child,
clad in nothing but a string of bright bite
glass beads.
Even in the heat Of pursuit the kind
hearted cavalrymen could not bring them
selves to leave the chubby youngster to
starve. a
b But how to feed It and how to take It
with them on their forced march bafled
their ingenuity at first. They settled the
food difficulty by catching wild goat In
full milk. They could not milk 1t, but the
youngster proved able to help itself In the
most natural way. Il
They then fitted up q little wagon, to
which they harnessed the unwilling foster
mother.
And now, clad in an old uniform coat
the child travels everywhere with the
troop of gay Uhlans.

II am going to put an individual
telephone to my farm next spring"
remarked Don l.. Berry, of IndianOla
who was in Des Moines yesterday. -
Il find that the average rural tele-
phone is nuisance, all on account of
the curiosity of the people to know
everything that is going on. Ring for
central and take your receiver down
quickly and you can hear every other
party on the line removing theirs to
listen to the conversation. OF course
your conversation is disturbed by the
racket in the various homes. Occa-
sionally you can hear the wives who
cause the bother, instructing some one
to tend to her work while she is listen
ing. You can't make them quit, no
matter how you may insult them. No
party line for me.
The above is from the Register-Le
er. Don l.. Berry is son of ex-senator
Berry, of Indianola. He is just start
ing up in the farming business on a
farm his father has given him. We
fear that when he has a party all the
ladies in his neighborhood will turn
down his invitations. They will get
even with him for the above SANDER

Judge loofbourow Dead.

Judge Loofbourow, who was the pre-
siding judge here at the time of
the trouble over the Jefferson
murderers, is dead. A spe-
cial Monday from Council Bluffs
said: "The death of Judge Charles
F. Loofbourow, formerly OF Council
Bluffs, occurred one day this week at
Salt Lake City and newspapers con-
tanning a sketch of him have been re-
ceived here. He was 62 years of age
and died of heart failure. Judge
LoofbourOw occupied the distric
bench here for twelve years and moved
in 1889 to Salt Lake City. He was en-
gagged there up to his demise in the
practice of law with his son Frederick.
His wife died in 1897. He has son
in Boston, one in Denver and two in
Salt Lake City"
Concerning him the Capital says:
Hon. G. +. Loofbourow, formerly
pioneer attorney and Judge at Attain
tic, Iowa, but for fifteen years past
yracticing attorney at Salt Lake City,
Utah, is dead. The deceased held the
office of district judge in southwestern
Iowa for twelve years and his opin-
ions were noted for their clearness.
He was always able to make himself
understood. He located In Atlantic
just after the war, in which he served.
He was a nephew Of the late Senator
Plumb, Of Kansas"
Judge Loofbourow was very strong
ly censured by most Audubon county
people when, in February, 1885, he
called Judge Henderson, of Marshall
town, here to pass on the motion for a
change of venue for the Jefferson
murderers. Judge Henderson grained
the change and then came the tragedy
at the jail. II was thought by most
people here that Judge Loofbourow
got Judge Henderson to come and do
what he did not have the courage to
do himself but which he wanted done.

Shaw in the Cabinet.

1t is now announced on good author.
ity that Secretary Shaw will remain a,
the head of the treasury during the
next administration. For our part
the gossip that has proven so enter
tanning for so many has never worried
us. The only question that arose was
whether Iowa could longer retain two
places in the cabinet. 1t is only be-
cause Secretary Shaw and Secretary
Wilson have proven so admirably
adapted for their positions that the
precedent remains broken and one
state is accorded two important cabin
ct positions. Secretary Shaw has
made one of the best Secretaries Of
the Treasury the country has ever
known. His critics have been made
such by his fearless administration of
the law and for no other reason. He
has been the most eloquent and con-
vincing of themany republican orators
of the period and he is entitled TO the
recognition he has received. The
busy-bodies will now have opportun-
ity to discuss something. else and try
to stir up trouble in some other
quarter.
The President knows enough to let
well enough alone and we congratu-
late him upon his wisdom. We also
congratulate Secretary Shaw and the
whole country as well, that his calm,
impersonal. far-seeing intellect is to
remain in control of the finance of the
NATURALIZATION Review.

We heard good story on the news
paper business the other day. A GER
tain man in this county who makes it
a business to evade the payment of as
many of his honest debts as possible
had been sued by business man Of
this town for just account, and the
constable accompanied by the mer-
chant were at the debtors home to
serve the papers. The account was
paid when thus presented. Then it
was that both the debtor and his wife
took occasion to tell the merchant
and the officer how honest they were
saying they had paid this debt and
that debt and they had even paid
their newspaper account" That is
good. Even the newspaper account"
There are a few people who think that
it is hardly necessary to pay that
account. If they incur it, it is as
binding as any account. We are
glad all people do not have so low
opinion of a newspaper account, else
we could not be in the newspaper

my OLD KENTUCKY HOME"
The story OF the Origin of This Fa-
nous Old Song.

| nous Old Song.
The song MY Old Kentucky Home"
was written by Stephen Collins Foster,
resident of Pennsylvania, while he
and his sister We're on visit to Judge
John Rowan, short distance east of
BardStown, Ky. One beautiful morn
ing while the slaves were ut work in
the corn field and the sun was shining
with a mighty splendor on the waving
grass, first giving 1t the color of a
light red, then changing it to Il golden
hue, there were seated upon bench in
front of the Rowan homestead two
young people, brother and a sister
warbling Its sweet notes. Over in the
hidden recess of small brush the
thrush's mellow song could be heard.
A number of small negro children were
playing not far away. When Foster
had finished the first verse of the song
his sister took it from his hand and
sang In a sweet, mellow voice:
1.-THE sun shines bright In the old Ken
lucky home;
The corn tops rise. and the meadows In
the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.
''The young folks roll on the little cabin
floor,
All merry, all happy, all bright;
BY n by hard times comes a-knockln' at
the door
Then. my old Kentucky home. good
night"
On her finishing the first verse the
moCking bird descended 10 lower
branch. The feathery songster drew
his head to one side and appeared to be
completely enraptured at the wonder
full voice OF the young singer. When
the last sweet note died away upon the
air her fond brother sang In n deep
bass voice:
Weep no more, my lady; OH weep no
Wen sing one song for the old Ken
lucky home,
For our old Kentucky home far away.
"a few more days to tote the weary load
No matter, twill never be light
A few more days till we totter on the
road
Then, my old Kentucky home, good
night"
The negroes had laid down their hoes
and rakes, the little tots had placed
themselves behind the large sheltering
trees, while the old black women were
peeping around the corner of the house.
The faithful old house dog never took
his eyes off the young singers. Every
thing was still: not even the stirring Of
the leaves seemed to break the wonder
full silence. Again the brother and sis
ter took hold of the remaining notes
and sang in sweet accents:
''They hunt no more for the possum and
the coon
On the meadow, the hill and the shore;
They sing no more by the gimmer OF the
moon.
on the bench by the old cabin door.
The day goes by like shadow DER the
heart,
With sorrow where all was delight:
The time has come when the darties
have to part
Then, my old Kentucky home. good
night.
The head must bow and the back will
have to bend
Wherever the darky may go;
few more days and trouble all will end
In the folds whore the sugar cane
grow"
AS the song was finished tears flowed
down the old peoples checks, the chill
dren crept from their hiding place be-
hind the trees, their faces wreathed In
smiles; the hooking bird and the
thrush sought their homes in the thick
ct, while the old dog still lay basking
in the sun Bardstown KyJ Record.

The Odebolt hronicle arises against
the establishment of so many rural
routes in Plymouth county and says:
plymouth county is to have univer-
sal free delivery of rural mail. We do
not begrudge our Plymouth friends
their good fortune, but we should like
to have some statesman show us what
moral or legal right the government
has to grant this costly favor to Ply
mouth county and deny it to Sac and
other counties. Hardin and Des
Moines counties have for the past
year enjoyed the same favor That is
the government is spending the money
of all the people for the benefit of
few people. This is an Internal out
rage, and congress disregarded every
principle of right and justice when it
vested authority to do such things in
