Fly Poison Kills Babe.

Fly poison is responsible for the
death of the sixteen-months'- daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Morris of
Iowa Falls. The little one died last
week. The child had been left alone
In the dining room and had evidently
climbed upon table and stuck its
fingers into the dish containing the
fly poison. The liquid had been sweet
ened, and the child seems to have
conveyed the poison to its mouth by
sucking the sweet stuff off its fingers.
Shortly afterwards 1t was taken vio-
lently sick, and although physician
was at once summoned and every eff
fort made to save its life, it died
twelve hours afterwards.

Governor Cummins and the Democrats.

Kindness occupies the same relation
to the science of christian theology.
that honesty does to the art Of poll
tics. Jefferson commended that 1.-THE
whole art OF politics consisted in be
ing honest" Not that honesty could
be unerrlngly relied upon to furnish
the best solution OF every public ques-
tion, but that honesty filed to over
flowing the measure OF good citizen
ship. Everyone who is true to himself
and does what he believes to be right,
guided by th. light he has, is good
citizen. Such man usually enjoys
the confidence and respect of his fell
low men.
When Governor Cummins took the
position that the corporations exerted
an undue and harmful influence in
orr public affairs, and that all the
graft of,all the insurance companies OF
all time was not one-fifth of the graft
of our present tariff law for single
year, democrats believed what be said
and sympathized with him in his
struggle for denomination.
At the close of his recent campaign
the Governor found himself surround
ed by as loyal and militant body +
men as ever assem- bled in the Capitol
OF Iowa. He had taught them to be-
lieve, and they did believe, that Mr..
Perkins was the candidate of the cor
poratiops, and that majority of our
members of congress had drifted away
from the common people to become
The champions of special interests.
The Governors supporters were loyal
to degree. They were ready to fol-
lew him out OF the convention, II the
republican state committee drove him
out, and were willing to stand by him
to man at the polls.
II the Governor had been true to
himself, II he bad stood up squarelv
for what he believed, his nomination
would not have fallen like wet blak-
ct as it has.
Many democrats believed that the
Governor was big enough and brave
enough to stand for what he believed
to be right, and that no matter what
fate had in store for him he would not
bow down to the idol of Party Expedi-
that he would not place party above
public veal. Imagine the feelings Of
these democrats when Mr. Cummirs
publicaly announced that If George
d Perkins was the choice of major
ity OF the delegates at the Des Moines
convention he would have no warmer
supporter In the state Of Iowa than
he, the Governor. And when the Gov
ernor made another bow to the party
idol, and eulogized congressman who
for years have fcught'behind the ram
parts of graft and greed, he caused
many sigh of regret.
The governor shattered the faith Of
thousands in his earnestness and sin.

A Propbet Of Hloh peoree.

A Prophet of High Degree.
On June 20 Mr.. Justice David Josiah
Brewer of the supreme court of the
United States was sixty-nine years old.
Whether he has received his second
sight" and has, therefore. according to
the Scottish theory, become genuine
prophet, this deponent saith not, be-
cause he knoweth not. At any rate he
Is scattering predictions around the
land in way calculated to cause Gen
eral Charles Henry Grosvenor, the
prophet maximus of the Hooking val
ley, to turn green with envy. Judge
Brewer predicts that President Roose-
welt will not again be candidate
which is important, II true. He also
informs us that President Roosevelt is
training Mr.. Secretary Taft for the
succession and that Taft will be nom
mated. This Is also important, If true
He then predicts that Colonel William
]. Bryan viii be nominated-which
everybody believes. So It can never be
truthfully asserted that Judge Brewer
has not been doing land Office bust
ness In the role of prophet. Well, it's
harmless diversion, amuses the judge
and does nobody any political injury.
But, query: Should Mr.. Secretary
Taft stump Brother Littleaeld's dis
trict and should President Samuel
Gompers succeed in bringing about the
defeat Of Littlefield would not that re-
suit send Judge Taft to follow Mr. Sec
retnry Shaw to the Republican presi-
Dental hospital? And wouldn't that
ruin Judge Brewers reputation as a
prophet?
In some respects Judge Brewer is
an interesting parsonage himself. He
is conceded to be one of the ablest
Judges on the supreme bench-in fact,
he has spent nearly his entire profess
sional life on bench Of some sort,
state or federal. He was born in Asia
Minor has father being missionary
to that country. He is nephew to the
celebrated Field brothers-Stephen j.,
Iwho served longer than any other man
on the supreme bench; David Dudley
one of the greatest lawyers and con
Fgressmen Of his time; Cyrus W., who
built the first Atlantic cable, and
James T., author, etc.
On June 20, 1907, Mr.. Justice Brewer
will be seventy years old, and, having
been on the supreme bench more than
ten years-thus filing both conditions
he may at his own request be retired
on full pay, nice position. surely, in
which to pass away the remnant Of his
d4vs Az ha IA vi0orny,p and wall
preserved man, he may emulate the ex-
amples Of his uncle, Stephen j. Field,
and Of Mr.. Justice John Marshall Har-
land and Chief Justice Melville W.
Fuller and refuse to be retired.

How the Earthquake Indicator Re-
cords the Shocks.
In its simplest form an earthquake
indicator might be tray with notched
edges so filed with mercury that a
shaking of the earth would cause an
overflow in the direction of the move
ment. In the instrument used by sci
ence the pendulum is employed, Verti-
cal by some Italians, horizontal by the
Japanese, English, most European and
American observers. A movement of
the earth affects everything but the
pendulum, which is so freely hung as
to remain stationary, and a recording
device makes the result visible. OF old
with the vertical pendulum sharp
point drew the profile of the move
ments on blackened surface. Photo
graphic paper in moving strips serves
the modern instruments.
The horizontal pendulum turns on
vertical axis and carries at it's eXtrem-
ity a heavy weight which earth shock
does not reach. In the Milne seismo-
graph a platinum sheet attached to this
weight has a slit intersecting at right
angles a slit in a second sheet under
meath. In times of quiet reflected light
passing through both Sits makes one
point and prints straight line on the
moving bromide paper. When the
earth shakes the lower slit moves and
the line becomes crooked, according to
the strength of the shock. \ clockWor
