THE FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC COAST

| Golfers great illustrated weekly last
week devoted practically its entire
space to pictures and description of the
destruction of San Francisco The en-
semble was one temifyingly realistic.
Immediately following the pictures of a
London's graphic description OF the de-
struction of life and property, of hui
mainly beggared in an instant or
crushed to death beneath the blazing
wreckage, followed full page adver-
tiseanent of one of the transcortinental
railroad lines. plan to spend your
vacation on the Pacific coast" it urged
in bold black type. You couldn't take
any trip more delightful or instructive
than one to the glorious Pacific coast"
etc, etc.
And the tourists will go. Surely
they will go. The earthquake is only
an incident. The glorious Pacific
coast" remains to be the Mecca of the
American traveller. When the Buring-
ton spent several thousand dollars for
the full-page ad. it was simply voicing
its confidence in the future Of the glor-
ious Pacific coast, as San Francisco
business men are emphasizing their
confidence by their plans to rebuild a
greater San Francisco on the shattered
remnants of the Queen City of the Pa
citic.
Calamity teaches much, but it rarely
drives men from a fruitful and pros
porous location. Galveston rose drip
ping and drowned from the waters Of
the raging gulf, greater and stronger
from the lessons of its calamity. Where
the grass grows green in winter men
build if on the lip of the crater. Less
than five years hence the San Fran
cisco horror will be a tale for history
and the guide books, and the curious
tourist seek the new city in vain for
traces Of the holocaust that left me-
tropolis PROSTATE and cost it's, inlaFbi-
tallts the price OF an empire IN imam
cial losses.
1t is the glorious west coast still,
washed by waves warmed in the trop-
les, canopied by cloudless skies, and
redolent of orange bloom. Terror is
lost in its charm. California, the gold
en- land of the orange and myrtle, will

mountain ranges by the magic Of her

When to Plant Corn?
TWallace's Farmer.1

The short answer to this question
is: When the ground has been put
in good physical condition. or proper
seed bed has been prepared and it
is warm enough to sprout the corn
vigorously. This period will have
passed when this reaches the eye of
the reader in the southern portion of
our territory; but a few words may
be helpful to those in the northern
portion.
1t is of no use to plant corn until
there is enough heat in the soil to
sprout it quickly. Corn planted when
the temperature is too low lies there
subject 10 fungus, mold, and worms
and if of low terminating quality may
not grow at all. Hence it is better
in the sack than in the ground until
we have sufficient temperature.
Farmers do not all keep ihermom-
eters, and in many cases would not
use them if they had them: but the
old Indian sign is not a bad one:
Plant your corn when the oak leaves
are the size of a squirrels ear. Or,
in the prairie sections in the southern
part Of our territory. plant your corn

TERMS:
OFFICERS AND DEspERADos.

From an Ottumwa paper 1t Is evident
that some severe criticism has been
visited on Constable Blount, an Ottun
wa officer, who followed a fugitive up
narrow stairway to the top floor OF
an old elevator building and killed the
man DIN a pistol duel while attempting
to arrest him. Briefly the facts seem
to be that the fugitive had resisted ar
rest, had fired at officers of the law
and taken refuge where most men
would have hesitajted to follow a des-
eprado. The Ottumma officer went up
the narrow stairs to get his man. He
notorious and desperate criminal.
What is there about this that calls
for condemnation of an officer brave to
toolhardiness? True enough the Grim
.inal might have been smoked out or
drowned out with fire hose, at the
risk of honest mems lives The es-
esence of a good officer. however. is
promptitude in dealing with offenders.
Blount was brave and prompt. The
man had shot at other men in the
street His duty was to take him or
kill him as he would a mad dog. He
killed him The officer deserves great
credit, not because he shot a desperate
criminal. but because he promptly put
himself where he belonged, between the
criminal and the public

use them to stand off officers put

common thing for a criminal to shoot
and kill an officer who is attempting
his arrest. 1t is uncommon when an
officer kills the criminal who resists
him. The thugs who know Blount will
hesitate hereafter before they draw
guns in his precinct, where a gun play
means submission to immediate arrest
or killing. And if any minor city
needed an example of this sort, that
city is Ottumwa.
That an officer should use deadly
weapons only as dernier resort is
true but there is no reason why he

WHAT TO EAT.

Mans emancipation from the tyranny
OF his stomach is assured if he will but
assume command. Such is the dictun
of Woods Hutchinson, A. NJ, M. D., an
eminent authority on dietetics, in an
articlei in the April number of Nc
Clure's. All that is necessary, says
Hutchinson, in effect, is to exchange
relationship with your stomach and
make it your servant instead of your
master. Then eat what you like. In
lcidentally he sweeps away many of the
vagaries and decisions of modern diet,
goes back to first principles and adj
vises us to eat about anything we can
afford, with special preference for good
[ white bread rich red meats, fats and
sugars. After clearing away such
mental debris as that which evolved
the theory that HE who eats pork,
I thinks pork" and placing it in the
1 same category as the ideas of Nero,
who used to banquet on nightingales'
/ tongues in the hope of improving his
voice, this learned authority takes up
many of the so-called fads and pro-
ceeds to demolish them seriatum. His
conclusions are that while vegetarian
may sustain life, he gains nothing and
loses much by abstaining from meat;
that white bread is better titan brown
.I,;
called health foods, cereals, breakfast
foods and mush, while harmless, have
little virtue as foods, their greatest
drawback being in what they are not
rather than in what they are. 'In fact
1t is a melancholy TRUTH says Hutch
inson, shat the torture of the chronic
dyspeptic are aggravated and in many
cases chiefly caused by the very foods
which he takes for a cure. A large
majority of those who depend upon
health foods ard dyspeptics and will
remain so as long as they cling to this
diet.
I'VE cannot support life" concludes
the doctor in discussing cereal foods,
con mushes, salads and fruits; it will
injure our health in the long run if we
try. My only advice to those addicted
to the breakfast food habit is, by all
..eans take your anti-mortem cereal,
germicide, nearfood, or what not, at
lbreakfa st-but eat your breakfast first.
|Mush, like fruit, should come at the
|closs of the meal. To attempt ITO live
upon it is a slow form of Starvation
In other words, he would not condemn
altogether cereal foods and such, but
would use them largely on the same
theory that the farmer grinds the cob
with the corn for feeding cattle-for
filler.
Best of all, DR.. Hutchinson comes to
the defense of the great but oftimes

SOME FACTS IN REGARD TO THE
WHISKY TRAFFIC.

1t sometimes occurs in our work of
the Anti-Saloon league that we find
man who is otherwise pretty we'll
posted, especially in regard to the
things of this world, who seems to
think that without me saloon the bust
ness of this country would be ruined.
Especially is this true as touching the
money received from our license sys-
tenn. We have put ourselves to some
pains to ascertain some facts along this
line, and now want to give some of the
results of this investigation. We are
in possession of the following from the
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League work in West Virginia. These
figures are vouched for by the state
auditor and warden of the penitentiary
and so may be fully relied upon. He
says:
''Of the fifty-five counties in West
Virginia, thirty-two grant no license,
twelve counties grant license to one
town each, and eleven grant license
wherever application is made. There
were 748 prisoners in the state peni-
Tertiary on the LIST of October last, and
of this number, 106 came from the
thirty-two no license counties, 1874 from
the twelve one-town license counties,
and 4S5 came from the license counties.
One hundred and fifty-nine came from
Fayette county, which has 8 per cent
of the population of the state, but has
Fl per cent of the population of the
penitentiary. Fayette county has fifty
three more men in the penitentiary than
have the thirty-two no-license counties.
The license counties have one man in
the penitentiary for every 500 Of their
population, the twelve one-town license
counties have one for every 1871, while
the thirty-two no-license counties have
one for every 4,022 of population.
Several no-license counties have no one
in the penitentiary, some have one
each, and the highest from any county
