THE PASSER-BY
The Woodlands.

A place of art is not more supreme
Among the beauties of earth OWNED
and schemed
Than a palace of oaks by nature grown
And nurtured by man as a child OF his
own;
Helpless in youth, protecting in age,
To the ignorant model, and to the
sage
An enduring structure, which leading
Gives food for a thought now and anon:
Gray bearded the moss clings all around
As man of strength not bowed down
Though three score and ten have long
been passed 5,
And bears up bravely though harrassed
On every side by storm; and JOY
Is apparent now as a boy:
Having spirit to grow and remain
A monument lasting yet not vain
Because of its power and OF its charm,
Fearing nor yielding to any alarm;
Always faithful to the Master who
planned
The growth of the statue, the length
of the span
Such palace I've known where gigan.
tic oaks
AS fine as e'er grown
Yet unwrit of in books
Form place of beauty and Of love;
They grow even yet and yet ne'er
move,
They whisper sad yet beautiful hymns
The oaks of "The Woodlands" the
home of Simms.
With Carnegie and Rockefeller racing
to see who can give most money, that
abominable thing, perhaps little will
stray down here after while.
The Russian laborers are determined
that there is no freedom where there is
no constitutional liberty.
With the prospect of Tillman and Nc
Laurin in the big ring next summer, there
is some outlook for little excitement OF
the strenuous sort.

Our life is what we make it:
We cannot shun the race
Then hope to overtake it

60TCH LOSES TO JENKINS.
Iowa Wrestler Goes Down to Defeat
at New York City.

New York, May ia sensational
finish to most interesting catch-as-
catch-can wrestling match between Tom
Jenkins, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Frank
Gotch, of Humboldt, Iowa, contested at
Madison Square Garden tonight, result
+ ed in clean victory for jenkins.
Jenkins was the heavier of the two by
at least ten pounds, but despite this adj
vantage he was forced to assume the
defensive almost from the start. At
intervals jenkins attempted to get the
upper berth, but Gotch was too slippery
and finally got jenkins almost con-
stantly on the defensive. Gotch being
the younger man was the most siren
uous and he frequently put jenkins in
tough positions, but whether he tried
arm locks, further arm holds or half or
quarter Nelson's, Jenkins easily threw
them off, and finally gaining neck hold
with half crotch, jenkins threw Gotch
easily, the Iowan seemingly weakening
under the strain.
From the moment the men met there
was not moment of idleness, each
watching the other closely, and the first
to fall was Jenkins. He went to the
mat, but was not shoulders down, and
over for further arm push. The Cleve-
lander wriggled out of very bad prob
lem, which included half Nelson and a
strenuous leg hold, only to go back to
the defensive again, when, with quick
turn, jenkins got in his famous crotch
work and with a neck hold bringing the
body up to diverse position, showed the
shoulders of the Iowan to the mat.
IN %bo fo,, al
minutes Gotch was the aggressor, hold
ing and breaking, and Jenkins was Wis.,
ably at disadvantage, but he kept on
gamely, getting out of positions that
might have meant disaster. Gotch
never let up for moment in diverse
tactics and kept hammering away at the
stomach of his adversary, so as to bring
about "lack of wind" He succeeded
in doing this and then went in to
smother Jenkins, which he did with a
neck and crotch hold combined.
After rest of fifteen minutes the
men got together again and INDUCED in
a rough and tumble match, which re-
suited in jenkins being forced through
the ropes on a leg hold and neck hold
combined. The referee sent the men to
the center of the ring, when they re-
sumed their positions, but Gotch was
the, quicker to take advantage, and he
soon forced jenkins to the mat. A
quick turn from the Cleveland man re-
versed positions, and for a time it look
ed as if Gotch had the call. jenkins re-
covered his feet and went at his man
with body holds, finally throwing Gotch
with double Nelson Time of bouts

LEON is STILL JEALOUS.
Editor of the Leon Journal Still
Skeptical About Our New
Railroad.

jealousy seems to have full possess
sion and control of the editor of the
Leon Journal. He can hardly stand it
because Mt. Ayr has the prospects of
getting new railroad, while Leon is
one of the few towns in Iowa that is
not threatened with at least an electric
line. The Journal editor, is evidently
very skeptical about Mt. Ayr's new
road, and calls it the Jerusalem, Mt.
Ayr & Southern Air line. That is a
way he has of being facetious. He
should be an optimist. The world
loves lover, and likewise an optimist,
but it has no use whatever for a pessi-
mist. For years the Journal editor has
been hoping that some good luck like a
new railroad would strike Leon, but he
has hoped and hoped in vain. Evil
IDENTIFY hope does not spring eternal in
his manly breast, and he has given up
to a feeling of deep despair about the
future prospects of his own towr.
Doubtless he has long since ceased to
see in his dreams a new court house in
Leon, and the electric light plant is at
present giving him all kinds of trouble.
Bnt we can't help but admiring the
wonderful nerve of the Leon editor.
After poking all kinds of fun at the
Record about our new Jerusalem Air
line, he actually has the face to suggest
in his paper that he is going to strike
road, and says he wants to come over
and see how big city Mt. Ayr
really is. We have determined to heap
Goals of fire on the venerable head of
the Journal editor, and if we are unable

allow him to pass restaurant without
taking drink of lemonade with Colfax
water on the side. If it is at all pos
sible we propose to knock out of him a
big chunk of pessimism, and send him
home rejoicing to the bosom of his
family and swearing that Mt. Ayr is the
best town on the map. And then if he
does not give the town column write
up in the Journal and say Mt. Ayr is all
right and that our new road rides as
smooth as baby carriage, we will cut
his acquaintance and will even refuse
to exchange with him.
And in the meantime we are going to
overlook all of the slurs he has been
casting on our new road, and will con-
tinue to hope and pray that DR.. Crofford
will build his gulf road via Leon. Mt.

Catalogue Business Exposed.

The Omaha Trade Exhibit of April
says: One of the leading catalogue
houses of Chicago makes the statement
in its general catalogue that most of it's
furniture is made in Grand Rapids,
Mich. Now this claim is made for the
reason that Grand Rapids is noted the
world over for the excellence of the
furniture turned out in that city and
this explains why the catalogue houses
desire the Impression to 60 abroad that
it buys its furniture in that city.
One of the leading furniture mer-
chants of Nebraska has taken the pains
to write all of the leading furniture mer-
chants of Grand Rapids, asking if they
sell to catalogue houses. Ter replies
have been received, all of which are of
the same general tenor. Unfortunately
we are unable to give the names of the
manufacturers, but should anyone be
enough interested to inquire, we can
make known the name of the firm which
wrote the following letter. Read it
carefully and compare it with the state
ments of the catalogue concerns:

Pension Officers Locate Recreant
Husband in Iowa.

Mrs. Ellen Wilson, IS years of age
living with her daughter, Mrs. Mary
Kroll Of HOY Peck street, has just found
that she isn't widow. Mrs. kroll was
at the court house this morning and
told a remarkably strange story.
In 1871. her mother and father were
living at Delphos and he disappeared in
that years, Immediately after the Chica-
go fire. A hired girl left at the same
time, and while Mrs. Wilson and the
children never really knew. they al
ways suspected that the two went to-
gether.
He disposed of over 200 acres of
valuable land and then disappeared as
completely as if the earth had swallow
ed him up. Besides his wife he left
eight children, only two of whom are
living.
There was never message that
came back to the Wilson homestead Of
the missing husband and father. After
years had flown by Mrs. Wilson
thought of course she was widow and
when after 80 years she had heard moth
ing she never had any doubt that he
was dead.
She came to Toledo with her daughter
and made application to the govern
ment for her pension, as the husband
was blacksmith in the army.
Uncle Sam is great detective. He
wasn't satisfied that Wilson was not
living and set his secret service men to
work with the result that Wilson was
located, and in letter today announces
that he is in Seymour, Iowa.
Commenting on the above the Sey-
mour Press last week says:
The above appears in the Toledo (OD
Times last week and caused some ex-
element in Seymour. Mr.. Wilson left
his family in the spring of 1871 and
went to Chicago, there he was burnt
out in the great Chicago fire. He came
to Seymour in the fall of 1871 and has
since made this his home. Since com
ing to Seymour he has been living with
the woman who was identified by his
daughter as the hired girl. One child
was born them. He owns property on
Winston street and has always been a
r.specte citizen. !.
Last Saturday night two of his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Amanda Williams and Mrs.
Mary Knoll, both of Toledo, Ohio, ar
rived in the city and identified Mr..
Wilson as their father. We learn that
he left his wife and eight children, his
wife and two of the children are still
living. His daughters wanted him to
return to Ohio with them but this Mr..
Wilson refused to do. The case is one
of great interest and is not settled as

Is He Legally Dead?

There is peculiar law suit on file in
the district court at Burlington. The
New York Life Insurance company
brings suit to recover $1,000 paid to
Chittenden & Eastman of that place on
the supposed death of VIM. Jarvis.
In 1889 Jarvis took out two policies
for Sl,350 each, and in 1894 assigned
hem to his employers, Chittenden &
eastman, for money which it was al
-ged he owed the firm. Next year he
disappeared. When in November, 1908,
Chittenden & Eastman claimed the in
-urance money, the $1,000 was paid
them by the insurance people. Jarvis
returned last March and the insurance
company want their money back. The
Burlington firm claims Jarvis is legally

Joe Crees has invented an automatic
"snap-and-catch-em" attachment for a
fishing rod which he thinks he will get
patented. 1t consists of coil spring
attached to the tip of the rod. The fish
jerks the hook and throws the trigger
and the spring does the rest. The
fisherman need not wake up except to
pull out the fish after it is caught. Joe
is now working on an automatic cork
screw to go with it which pulls the
cork and nudges the fisher man when it
is time to take drink and thinks that
the two will be in great demand among
Lineville fishermen.

A petition is in circulation in the
country northwest of this place for a
new free delivery mail route out of
Lineville, and asking for change in
the line of route No. 8 from Lineville to
Hayden's corner to the road running
direct to Morgan Center via Hawkin' S
bridge, thus reducing the distance to be
travelled by the carrier on No. 8, which
is too long for the rough character of
the country it traverses, that portion OF
No. 3 vacated to become part of the
proposed new route will serve a large
number of families in Morgan and

facilities and the proposed change will
prove practical and economical for the
