ROUNDING UP SOULS.

Down in Fairfield there is little
religious war raging because the Rev.
Ezra Temple, who gained the title of
Cowboy Evangelist" through having
punched the festive bovine on the
western prairie in his younger days,
refused to bring his evangelistic cam
paign to close when ordered to do
SO by the trustees Of the Baptist
church. The Reverend Ezra believes
in rounding up strayed souls as he
rounded up cattle, however, and he
refused to concur in the view that his
days of usefulness in Fairfield were
ended. So he announced that he would
stay three months longer, orders or
no orders, and if he couldn't get a
church he would hold forth at the
homes of the faithful. Even a good
cause occasionally is disturbed by
warning elements.

FATHER AND SON.

Cedar Rapids Republican Some
times it seems as though 1t would be
good thing for those who have pass
ed from mortality to life if they know
nothing of what is going on in this
world. Just imagine for example,
how Nathaniel Hawthorne must feel If
he knows that his son Julian is one of
the Hearst specialists at the Thaw
trial and that he writes columns daily
about what is supposed to be passing
in the mind of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
as she sits in the court room and then
more columns about Thaw's emotions,
with now and then column relative
to the prisoners clothes, his food and
how he picks his teeth.

A QUEER ERROR.

The late Ambrose L. Thomas, the
noted advertising expert Of Chicago,
once told story about two doctors
in an address on advertising.
"To illustrate my point" he said,
apropos Of an advertising error, "Tll
tell you about my friend Bones. Bones
was taken down very bad, and his
family physician being out of town,
a specialist was called in. But the
family physician unexpectedly return.

the man in a high fever and partially
unconscious. Each put his hand under
the bed clothes to feel Bones pulse,

the theory that If books are an inf1u-
ence In molding the lives of normal
people they can be used to much more
advantage and benefit in holding the
lives of the abnormal in the peniten-
tiaries and insane hospitals.
The libraries at the Iowa state insti-
tutions vary from 1000 to 10000 vol
umes. the largest being at the peni-
tentiaries, where the admission fee
charged goes toward the purchase OF
books. Heretofore the method follow
ed has been to put the library under
the charge of some employee. Some
one who liked books and had a special
fitness for the place was chosen If
possible Sometimes the fitness wasn't
so special.
Books were purchased according to
the whim of the person in charge and
largely by the promise held out by the
title that 1t would be good book
and without any knowledge as to its
contents. Johnson Brigham, state IL
brarian, and Miss Alice Tyler, secre-
tary of the Iowa library commission,
read papers before the board Of con.
troll on the possibilities of the libraries
and this led to the employment of Miss
Carey from the public library at Dav'
export. Under her guiding hand the
libraries have all been classified. New
books are being purchased with special
thought to their assisting unfortunate
inmates of the institutions.

Lane was an excellent fellow, able as
newspaper manager, and forceful i'll
the conduct of his paper. Personally
he was a companionable and attrac-
tive man, and was popular among
those who possessed his acquaintance.
Under his supervision the Journal has
been one of the representative even
ing papers Of Iowa.
His death was untimely, because he
was still in the flower of his young
manhood, and had much before him.
He had gained his position of publish.
er and part owner of the Journal
through pure merit.
Mr.. Lane was born in Bloomfield
thirty-four years ago, and later on was
telegraph operator in the Western
Union Offices in Ottumwa. He was a
loyal American boy, and when the
Spanish war broke out he at once en-.

MuLcr TAX IN IOWA.


The Marshalltown Times-Republican
asks If it would not actually reduce
the liquor tax per family by raising
the nulct tax per saloon, and in an
swering the question affirmatively 1t
mulct tax in the thirteen leading cities
of Iowa and the number of saloons.
Ottumwa is shown to have the highest
mulct tax while it is near the bottom
in the list of saloons. The Times.Re-
publican says:
"The effect of high mulct taxes upon
the saloon business can be quite clear
ly discerned by a cursory glance at a
few cities. In Burlington for instance
the ,nulct tax is only $500 per annum
and Burlington has one saloon to every
2S1 people, while in Waterloo mulct
tax of $1,000 results in one saloon to
1853 people. If it is true that a saloon
must sell $4,000 worth of booze in a
year in order to make a profit for the
proprietor the result is an average tax
of $500 per family per annum for
booze in Burlington under $500 mulct
as compared to tax of 500 per fam
lily per annum in Waterloo under a
$4,000 mulct. The query inevitably
follows what would be the result In
Waterloo under a mulct of $2,400 per
annun? Would the saloons become
$50 per annum?
Gas compiled the mulct tax, number
of saloons and apportionment per hun
dred people in thirteen leading Iowa
towns is as follows:
