biggest fools are the self confident
fool and the sluggard. The self
confident fool goes through life fol-
lowing the inclinations of his own
mind and never thinking Of the
spiritual life or the wishes of God.
The sluggard is the one who sits
around with his arms folded and
takes no notice of this life or of the
works of the Heavenly Father.'

Mr.. Bratz was found at 3 80 this
morning at the corner Of Thirteenth
and Main streets by Patrolman Suit
ton. The old man was in very
exhausted condition and could hard
ly walk. When the patrolman
found him he was endeavoring to
get into the grocery Of Peter Hus-
son. He was in a very exhausted
condition and was removed to his
home in the city ambulance. He had
walked some distance as his shoes
were dusty and he was completely
fatigued. He could give no reason
for his sudden disappearance and his
relatives are at a loss to account
for his actions.

OWES LIFE TO COINCIDENCE.
Station Agent Has Hair Breadth Es-
cape in Accidental shootingat
Jackson Junction.

Station Agent Schultz, of Jackson
Junction. who accidentally shot him
self with a rifle, supposed to be unload
ed, and whose life was despaired of
for time, will recover. 1t is said by
medical men who attended Schultz that
his escape from death was literally
hair-breadth and that such an escape
would not occur once in a thousand
times. The bullet instead of passing
through the stomach, as at first sup
posed, passed between the diaphram
and the lung. Mr.. Schultz owes his
present existence to the fact that the
precise moment when the bullet enter
ed his body his lungs were in a COL
lapsed condition, on the out breath.
Had the lungs been filed with air the
bullet would have caught the lower
lobe OF the lung and hemorrhage would
have resulted.

If the engineering department stu
dents carry out the threat which they
have made that they will not return
to the institution because the board of
regents has let out Prof. Sims, this
will cut another rs or such matter off
the institution attendance. Some one
remarked that the action Of the board
in severing the relations between it
and Prof. Sims would greatly enlarge
the attendance at the state agricultural
college. The addition of the whole
department to Ames would not make
material change. For there are about
900 students in the engineering depart
ment at Ames.

DRAINAGE DITCH UNDER WAY
Hamilton County Trench Proceeding
Rapidly-Machines Used In
Work.

A big drainage ditch is now being
constructed in Hamilton county which
is being closely watched by all in this
part of the state who are interested in
the open ditch drainage problem. The
waterway now under construction is
known as the "Elwick" ditch, and was
ordered by the board of supervisors of
this county on petition from the res
idents of that part of the county where
the ditch is located. The ditch is To-
Gated in Lincoln township on the ex-
IRENE southeastern line of the county.
The outlet is about three miles north
of the town of Randall Contractor
John G. Sullivan, of this city, who has
constructed two different sewers in
this city, has the contract for this
ditch and is now at work with a large
force of men. The fact that this is the
first machine cut" ditch to be made
in this part of the state adds interest.
The first work was started recently
The dirt is being moved by ditcher,
which is the property of Mr.. Sullivan.

The man who imagines that Willlam


J. Bryan is a "dead duck" had better
revise his opinion. There are many
men who can lead popular or win
ming fight, but few who are great
enough to emerge from losing con-
test larger than when they entered.
When Bryan was on top and master
OF the democratic situation, David B.
Hill, Grover Cleveland, and others of
the old guard sulked in their tents
and acted like oyergrown boys who
had been whipped. This year Bryan
went to st. Louis knowing he was
overwhelmingly outnumbered-b but he
fought every inch of the ground, from
start to tnish-not for men, but for
the principles he believed in. In the
committee rooms, surrounded by po-
litical enemies, he forced concessions
that people did not dream he could
secure. Alone with David B. Hill,
he compelled the leader OF New York
democracy to repeat what Hill and
every other man In the country knew
was false when he declared that he
did not know Judge Parker's views on
the money question. 1t is true that
Bryan was beaten this year by the old
crowd, but he was worse beaten
before the convention assembled than
he was at its close-and he stands out
today as the one leader that democracy
has had in thirty years who had the
courage to go before the country on
positive grounds and fight openly and
boldly for the principles he believed
In, regardless OF results. After all is
said and done, William ]. Bryan Is
the greatest man in the democratic
party today.-Riceville Recorder.

Assessments Set for July.

Especial Correspondence
The executive council will assess the
railway, telegraph, telephone, sleeping
car and express company property in
the state during the month of July.
The railway companies have made re-
ports to the executive council as re-
CURED by law, and upon this information
the council will assess the property
Last year the railway assessment was
$56,947,711, an increase of 1884,, 1859
over the previous year. The telegraph
and telephone assessment was $1,927,-
1888 and the express company assessment
was $420,2S3, both considerable In
creases. This year 1t is not likely that
any large increases will be made, as
little new line has been built and
while few lines may be slightly in
creased, owing to increased earnings,
the aggregate will not De large.

is, whether the hundreds of millions

by an oppressive and unjust system of

OF John d. Rockefeller or with those

There are those who construe Mr..
Bryan's speech In the Illinois case as
q swan song, but it is far more
suggestive of vitality than of approach
ing dissolution.
II we call it song at all we should
recognize in it the fervor OF hymn,
the object of Its praise being the
truth and the right. But 1T is, more
properly considered, a philippe that
was evoked by an outrageous wrong.
Majority rule had been prevented in
the Illinois convention by rank dis
honesty and an audacitY and impu-
dence which were carried into the
debates at ST. Louis by the highway
men" and "train robbers" of Mr..
Bryan's denunciatory sentences. In
the contrast both of cause and of
persons the Nebraskan shows to such
great advantage that he should receive
a tribute of respect even from those
who have differed from him most
widely in the past upon political prin-
ciples.
We believe, moreover, than his
cleanliness of character, his fine moral
qualities, his purity of purpose, his
political gifts and his unrivaled gifts
as an orator absolutely preclude the
idea that he has ceased to be a force
in our public life. Whether one ap-
proves all his tenets or not, one should
recognize the power that is in him,
and it may affect millions in the
future as it has in the past. For the
present it must be said of course, that
the leadership of his party has gone
from him to other men. 1t may even
be said that the masses of the party
have decreed the change because they
are tired OF his silver hobby and tired
of defeat. But who shall say that he
may not reassert himself II conditions
should beckon him to the fore as they
did in 1896. Anyone who believes
that he can never again have great
popular following is a careless reader
of history and of human nature

Judge Parker's telegram to the st.
Louis convention declaring for gold
standard, the PLAIN DEALER con-
strues as a bid for the active support
Of Wall street. For months and
months the public sought for infor-
nation he voluntarily gave to the
pirates of Wall street, without SO
much as eliciting one word in response.
Had this information been given be-
fore the convention met, he would not
have been nominated. It will now be
a royal battle between Roosevelt and
Parker for the support of the pirates
of Wall street. Roosevelt has an ap-
parent advantage in the s15S,000, 900
loaned to fayorite political iustitu-
tions in New York and elsewhere
12-million dollars of which are in the
Rockefeller bank in New York. OF
course the banks now having the use
of all this vast sum without interest
can afford to come down magnificent
ly with campaign funds because ii
they lose the election they can rest
assured that this money will be turned
over to Belmont and bankers of that
stripe of politics. The pirates
interested in Parker must contribute
the campaign funds from their own
money, those interested in Roosevelt
virtually draw their campaign funds
from moneys and credits that belong
in the United States treasury.
The response to Parker's telegram
dictated by John Sharpe Williams
virtually says to Judge Parker you
are greater than the st. Louis con-
vention and no matter about its plat
form pledges, you are the whole Thing.
Emasculate them to the satisfaction
OF your Wall Street sponsors.
