sIoux CITY.

Sioux City has survived many ca
lamities and she will survive that of
December 2324-the greatest fire LOSS
In her history and undoubtedly the
greatest that ever befell any Iowa city.
The courage and intelligence and faith
which built will restore. The demand
for city at this point is known Of
all men here w, and their loyalty is
not impeached or their enthusiasm
chilled by this experience. On the
contrary, In every mans mouth today
there is a word of cheer, an expression
or resolute purpose to do again.
One Of the fine traits which distin-
quish the city has been especially
manifested. Every man who escaped
/ loss himself is generous today toward
those less fortunate. There is help
ing hand out for all who have begun
the struggle or restoration, and where
ever sympathy can be bestowed it Is
being delightfully."- offered. Sioux City
never looked so lovely as In this garb.
The most broken spirited must feel
the uplift of such kindly interest. The
Tribune joins IN this manifestation.
It has a tear for those whose hearts
Of toll are SO suddenly swept away, and
cheer for them as they go forward
again to regain their old positions.
1t did not come scathless from the
flames itself, although it seemed as II
a miracle had been performed in it's
rescue. For this it hopes it has due
appreciation. It greatest loss is in its
loss of its friends and the certain d.
minution of business for the months to
come. 1t is concerned chiefly for its
friends, and it wishes them all cour-
age and health and fortitude and sue
cess again as they enter the lists for
another tourney with fortune.
The city Is yet upon solid founda-
tons. None of its great manufacture
ing plants are stopped and only one Of
it's numerous wholesale houses has
been destroyed. Those things that
survive offer the certain reward of
those retailers who must rebuild their
stores and recover their trade. Nine
teen hundred and five had brighter
face toward Sioux City than any of the
fifty years which 1t had seen come and
go. The year will not turn away Its
face because Of this sorrow. 1t is well
to remember this promise of the year
at this time And as 1905 looked ia
vorable so the unfolding seasons be-
yond 1t looks more and more enticing.

tates of human nature Caes Young
was a sport, rake and a married
roue. He was a gambler and he had
run the entire gamut of dissipation
and sinful pleasure. He knew the
world, he knew the frailities and weak
nesses of foolish women He sought
out this young girl and lavished at
tentions and money upon her, with
the result that she became violently
infatuated with him. That Nan Pat
terson loved Caesar Young with all
the intensity of an erring woman's af-
( lection, there does not seem to be a
shadow of doubt That under these
circumstances she would have deliber-
ately murdered him, is simply impos-
sible of belief. The proposition is pre-
posterous. She wanted Caesar Young
alive. The last thing in the world that
she wanted was to see Caesar Young
dead. On the other hand, Caesar
Young was uD against a proposition
that renders it easy to believe that he
could readily take his own life He
had played false to his wife and had
pursued course with the Patterson
girl that, assuming him to have the
faintest remnant of manliness left.
must have brought down upon himself
bitter self-reproaches. He was caught
In the net of dissipation and false-liv-
Ing. He was drinking the dregs from
his cup of sinful life. He was at the
time of the shooting in more or less
drunken condition. What is more
probable than that to his scared brain
should have come the suggestion that
life, such life as he had been lead
ling. was not worth living. Certainly
this is the fact in the case and and
we have not the slightest doubt but
that Caesar Young, the gambler and
roue, ended his own miserable exist
ence by his own hand. 1t is hard to
understand how any members of the
jury, in the recent trial of Nan Patter
son. could have held out against hel
acquittal The whole idea of the muir
der of the man she loved by this young
woman is against human nature.

Baltimore is also the home of an
iconoclast, Bishop Curtis, vicar general
of the archdiocese. He says the pro-

not true of business.

curious coincidence in figures. At first

he was beaten. but the sum total of his
