SATURDAY. EVENING. OoT. 81. 1sOS

EVERY two or three Gays since the
pending political campaign commenced
the so-called "Tsft democals" have an
nounced tia. this or that person, while
persisIing in saying he is ga democrat "
would vote for Taft. L! is taid ths
Richmond aud B fillmore will furnish a
large number of such votes from their
banking and commercial circles. These
men are seemingly indifferent to the
wants of the poor and unfortunate mem
bers OF the human race in their midst,
indeed those under their very nose. MIR.
Bryan says he saw in New York on two
occasions, at two o'clock and at four
o'clock in the morning, three hundred
men with newspapers wrapped around
their poorly clad forms IN an effort to
keep warm. OF course everybody is
prosperous, and the "Tsft democrats"
say this prosperity can only be "con-
tinued" by republican Congress and a
republican president. This we refer to
more in sorrow than in anger, but for
years it has been observed that Rich
mond, like Baltimore, associations and
Influences are not conducive to sound
democracy and to loyal acceptance OF
the choice and acts OF democratic con-
yentions. The old saying, whether
automatic or not "thst nothing is sure
but death and taxes" has its force les
sened BY the we'll known fat that many
do escape taxes. However, to coin
a phase, there is nothing so certain as
the uncertainty Of politics, unless II be q

sa1s Tat will sweep the country, some
negtra trmen are not so ssngpine.
From the press on Tuesday we repre-

WHAT is going to happen at the
polls q week from today? You

want as the campaign winds up; any

ACTOR TELLS OF HARD PART.
Really Strenuous Work Cut Out for
Sailor in "Drammer."

"My hardest part on our unfortunate
summer tour" said the sailor, was
in sea drammer, The Tar and the
Cingalese.' l played third mate. Me
and the crew swum the whole act
through. The sea was a blue cloth
what the supers shook in the wings
and, layin' it Oh, we swum overland.
Every time our palms hit the water
you could hear It all over the house.
THAT fierce sw1mmin' in the wild
seas was terrible hard work. Now and
then your backbone would come down
on the ocean and get all the skin
rasped off, A wave would slide down
your front and rip every button of
your suit. The ship keeled over on a
man one night, and before he could lift
her off himself his ankle bone was
busted. A man in the wings made
thunder and lightning with one hand
and ate cheese sandwich with the
other. The brave ship rocked to and
fro, and it seemed that every minute
would be her last The dust from off
the waves was stranglin'. If you
glided too fast over the seas surface
you got splinters in you. Still we
swan on. Sometimes, though, worn
out, we'd swim behind the ship, stand
up on the waves, stretch ourselves and
rest. Then back we'd swim bravely
again. When that terrible act was at
last over we'd 60 downstairs, remove
the dust and splinters that We had
contracted from our long swim, pack
the ship in trunk, fold up the ocean
and go back to the boardin house
for supper"

Danger from Springs.

In the summer, when so many thou
sands drink from tempting springs in
the woods and on the hillsides, a
warning recently given by Mons. E. A.
Martel, the celebrated French explor.
er of caverns, should not go unno-
ticed Contrary to widely prevalent
opinion, Mons. Martel says that
springs of apparently pure water are,
in many cases, merely the outflow of
surface waters which have disap-
peared through assures, carrying with
them pollution from the soil, and not
purified in their passage through the
rocks. He thinks that even chalk is
not an effeotual filter for surface
water passing through it.

in Cologne, perfume made of the oils

his city-eau de Cologne-water of
Cologne. By the same token, had he
been Londoner, he'd have called it
eau de London. In that case the illit-
crate would now think London

correctly, Put a few drops of perfume

Marriage and Sacrifice.

Marriage, unless to the rich, neces-
sarily entails many little sacrifices.
The modern bachelor most misses his
little weekend trips to seaside and
golf links when he enters the ranks
of the benedict. Week-ending is an
expensive habit and young couples,
even if they can afford it, are much
wiser to settle down quietly in their
early married life and make real
home. Unless they do this in the be-
ginning home, sweet home" will
never be an accomplished fact. 1t

The most quaint, queer and curious

has been built circular wooden avn.

Northern Iowa Team.
Confident that they would have COM
! paratively little trouble in winning,
the high school foot ball team left for
Mason City this morning, where it plays
the high school team of that city this
afternoon. Little is known of the Ma

reasonably sure that his tear would
victory.
Unless it is forced to, the team will
not exert itself to the point of taking
chances which might result in injuries,
as the players are being saved for the
game with East High, of Des Moines,
next Friday. This game will be played
in Des Moines, and it is expected to be
one of the hardest of the season. Good

Patton, who has a lame back, and who
is being spared from possible injury.

Hull, right end; Jay Fetters, left
guard; Schmidt, left tackle; McCord,

SENTENCE Of TEN

setting fire to and burning the w. S.
Gile barn, was sentenced to a period
of not longer than ten years at hard

court this morning. Notice of appeal
$1,000 will probably be secured by

from Jail and prevent his being taken
to the penitentiary until the supreme
court passes upon the case.
Sheriff Hutson consented not to take
the prisoner to FIT Madison until time
could be given his attorney to file
an appeal bond. This bond was ar
ranged for, and it was the expectation
that it would be filed before the day
was over or early Monday.
Motion for New Trial overruled.
The motion for new trial, and
for the arrest of judgment, which was
filed soon after Radloff was convicted.
was overruled by Judge Parker this
mUrning. This motion was based on
an alleged error in the judges instruc-
tions to the jury, especially with ref
erence to the paragraphs relating to
the subject Of insanity and the lati-
tude given the jury in determining this
question. Practically the entire fore
noon was taken up with the arguments
of the motion. An effort was also
made to have the appeal bond reduced
to $1,000, but it failed.
Martin Gets Five Years.
Charles Martin, who was convicted
of breaking and entering and stealing
from a sealed box car, was sentenced
to period of not to exceed five years

The play for publicity on the part of
enterprising theatrical press agents, in
intimating that their productions are
a little bit racy, was forcibly demon
strated recently at Waterloo, in the
appearance of "Sapho" The story, as
adapted from the French, and put on
originally before the public, did arouse
merted adverse criticism, and this was
just what was wanted. The theatrical
manager knows how far to go and still
keep within the law, and he trusts to
outsiders to interfere and thereby gain
him advertising that would cost thou
sands of dollars to buy. At Waterloo
the church people petitioned that
"Sapho" should not be permitted. The
movement attracted the attention of
the press, and as a result the perform
ance was given to a capacity house,
and the receipts were five or six times
what they would have been ordinarily,
or what they deserved to be. In this
