O sullen sky and leafiess tree,
And brown field freezing fast,
And wintry wind, you chill not me,
For | am home at last!
At last! Dear home, my heart and
Perpetual SUNNI know.
Blow, icy blast! Within leaps high
The fire of loves own glow.

And, shielded, safe, and warm,
Forget the bitter way came,
And feel no more the storm.
At home at last. At home to stay!
Oh, mercy unsurpassed!

Into their home at last!

Brother of sherif.elect Thomas

Brother in Nevada

Iowa Falls, Dec. 31.-Sheriff- elect
Thomas Walsh, of this city, has just
located a long lost brother who has
been separated from kindred and
friends for over a quarter of CEN
tury. Every effort to locate the broth
er who left home when a young man
has proven unavailing up to this time.
Twenty-six years ago, at the Walsh
home in Manitoba. Robert e. Walsh
was engaged in the milling business
with his father In the settlement of
some business matters. the father and
son disagreed and the son left home
and his accumulated property with the
avowed intention of never returning or
communicating with his kindred again.
He has kept his vow, altho he has
wandered afar and 1t was thru mu-
tual friend of the relatives that the
whereabouts of the long bsent broth
err were ascertained. The brother is
now in Tonopah, Nev where he Is in
terested in some mines. Since leaving
home. he has spent many years in the
klondike region and has been inter-
ested in many mining ventures OH the
western coast. The friend in Chicago,
to whom the missing brother had writ
ten, telling him of his travels and ex-
periences. has forwarded the letter to
Mr.. Walsh here and as the long absent
brother Is coming to Chicago this
winter, his brother will endeavor
to meet him there. The father is still
residing in Canada with married
daughter and altho advanced in years,
being over eighty he had not given up
hope of yet hearing from the son who
left the roof-tree Of the old Manitoba
home SO many years ago. 1t was not
known whether or not the long lost son
was dead or alive, so that the word
from him comes as a message from
another world. In a mining explosion,
eighteen years ago, the absent brother
was so unfortunate as to lose an eye,
but aside from that has Jared well in
his many adventures of roughing it in
the wilds of Alaska and in the mining
camps of the far west.

Sibley, Dec. S1.--Sibley experienced
something out of the usual order for
towns of its size one night recently.
1t was holdup and TRANSFERRED in the
glare of the bright moonlight, on Third
avenue, south of the Windsor hotel,
the victim being Pearl Morrison, who
| teaches at Allendorf, and was return
ing from the train to her home. Her
handbag was snatched from her, the
thief taking to his heels as the lady
screamed for help 1t seems no one
heard her cries and the perpetrator
escaped. The handbag contained her
watch, some money and other things
of values Later, while the officers
were searching around, expecting that
the thief had hidden the plumber, the
handbag and part of the contents were
found concealed in the driveway at
the creamery. A stranger who had
been loafing around town, was arrest
ed on suspicion of having been guilty
of the holdup, but nothing could be
proved on him, and he was discharged
and given one hour to leave our town,
which he did. Miss Morrison, altho the
moon was shining very bright, did not
see the assailant's face, and could not
identify him.

Nelson Knight has just finished a
fine water system for his, farm. The
well furnishes constant supply of
water some IS feet deep On this 40
| foot windmill raises the water to the
pipes which conduct it to the supply
tank or reservoir, or to the house or
barn while the wind furnishes power to
\ do the pumping. The reservoir will
hold about 100 barrels of water which
Mr.. Knight deems sufficient for any
calm spell Of weather. The system
will prove a labor saver and conven-
fence. The tank at the barn will be ov-
er tank heater and thus save the wa

Mrs. Elizabeth Caldwell had a close
call from death. 1t was when she
was washing out some cloth in gaso-
line. 1t was near the kitchen range,
and the gasoline caught fire. She was
severely burned on the right hand, the
flesh coming off and considerably burn
| ed on the left hand. Her hair and face
, also suffering from the flames. The
dish and gasoline were thrown out of
the door on the ground. Mrs. Caldwell
had her burns dressed by physicians
and is getting along very comfortably,
considering the nature of the accident.

The home of E. B. West, southwest
of town, was completely destroyed by
fire. A fire had been started in the
kitchen stove by the young man who
went out to the barn, leaving the draft

ney fue and soon the building was a
mass of flames. Teh occupants had lit
tie time to escape themselves and lost
nearly everything of personal nature
they possessed, including their cloth
ing. The house was not very elab-
crate affair but made a comfortable
home nevertheless. It Is said to have
been one Of the very first dwellings
erected in this part Of the Maple VAL
ley 1t was built by Aaron McCleerey
over forty-five years ago and was con-
structed of logs. We understand there
was no insurance on the furniture and

SOME THREE SCORE AND TEN
Will Establish Homes in the Country
Which it is Claimed "God Forgot

A Fine Iowa Township-Wilson's
Rural Letter.
Special to Times-Republican.

Ackley, Dec. 31.-Withln a few weeks
band of about fourteen men from
this county will leave the state on a
demonstrating expedition, which is to be
ordinary type of homesteader is pop
ularly supposed to be a man of middle
age or under. of robust physique and
venturesome disposition, one who is
not averse to waiting many years for
his financial reward. and to whom
probable hardships have no terror, but
In this case conditions are reversed
AT least half the number are nearing
the age OF three score and ten years
and instead of heading in the usual
direction they will try their luck In
one OF the river valleys OF New Mex
leo. No land agent will receive credit
Tor the success of the venture IL ii
succeeds, nor blame If it proves u fail
ure, for 1t was not thru the influence
OF any such individual that the idea
was conceived. Most of the members
OF the party are veterans Of the civil
war and the experience of some of
their comrades published in news
paper devoted to the interests of the
old soldiers" attracted their attention,
and relying on these reports the party
will attempt to establish farms in the
country that it has been said God
forgot" Nearly all of them are leav-
ty,fr e
to look after affairs in their absence,
and it is the intention that these
younger people will ultimately occu-
Ply the new homes il they prove desir-
able ones.
One of the reasons sometimes given
by those who decide to emigrate to a
newer country Is that they want to
live in a region where they can go
back to some extent to a more simple
life They assert that they would
rather get along for a while without
some of the modern conveniences and
luxuries. which are fast coming to be
regarded as necessities in the older
other day: "The price of things we got
along without when was young man
but which everyone thinks he must
have these days would make very re-
spectacle annual payment on farm.
Rubber-t tired buggies, driving teams.
expensive carpets. and lace curtains
were things we didn't have nor want
then but after ALL" he continued, II
guess I wouldn't care to go back to
the old way after ALL
A good illustration Of this tendency
was furnished recently by substantial
young farmer who is somewhat Of a
specialist in the line of raising extra
good horses for the market. Leading
a beautiful 4-year-old chestnut mare
from the barn, picking up in turn each

been threatened with injunction suits
in case it attempted to locate the hos
pital at those points. For six months
the hospital has gone a begging for q
taken. and finally the board decided
that while the state university offered
no bonus to secure the location, the
medical assistance the Institution
would receive from the physicians on
the faculty of the college Of medicine
would amount to that, and that there
fore the location here would be most
advantageous. 1t is not uncertain, of
course, that the location of the insti-
tuition here will be fought IN the courts.

Iowa City Not Satisfied.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 31.-While the loca-
ton Of the State Home for Consump-
tives at Morse, the little way station
four miles west on the line of the Ce-
dar Rapids & Iowa City Electric In
terurban, by no means meets with the
approval of all of the residents Of this
city. it is not believed now that the
location OF the institution by the board
of control will be fought by injunctions
or other legal means. Prominent mem
bers of the Commercial Club and the
university authorities have announced
themselves as being in favor of the
hospital, and there seems to be a dis
position to allow them to dictate with
reference to the matter. The hospital
will be located in the woods four miles
west of the city and two miles from
the Iowa river Considerable fear has
been expressed over this on account of
the fact that the entire water supply
of Iowa City is gained from the Iowa
river by means of pumps 1t is stated,
however, that the institution will dis
pose of all Of its sewage by means Of
cremation. At the time when it was
first proposed to establish the hospital
at this point. there was no secret about
the fact that the parties who were OPP
posed to the act would have sought to
prevent it in the courts. Since that
time the matter has been thoroughly
canvassed here, with the result that the
parties in authority here have con-
cluded that the university city will be
free from all chance of contagion on
account of the safeguards and precau-
tons which will be taken to prevent it.
With all of the later state institu-
tons it has been customary for the
board of control to secure a bonus from
the city which eventually secured it.
But no bonus has been paid to secure
the location of the tubercular hospital,
and in many of the cities the board has

Such men are usually high liyers,
hard workers mentally, living under
high pressure and high draught, and 1T
doesn't take a great deal to disorder
the stomach or render the liver torpid
They should make it a practice to
use some tried and reliable remedy
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that
will aid Nature and not force it and
will take care of the sudden attacks
of acute Indigestion.
The use of these tablets is not to be
confounded with the patent medicine
habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
not a patent medicine, but are COM
posed of the very elements which ma
ture provides the healthy stomach to
do the work of igestion-pepsin, dias-
tase, golden seal, etc. There is no Sc
cret in their preparation;-they are abb
solutely pure and therefore all the
world uses them.
No matter how disordered the stom-
ach may be, it will right itself if Civ
en- the chance. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest food where the stomach
can't, give the abused stomach and in
testines a rest, and offer renewed
strength to the worn out glands and
muscles.
Brain workers can rely on Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, no matter how tense
the strain All druggists carry them in
the fifty cent packages, or if you pre-
fer a free trial package can be had
by sending your name and address to-
