If Only Thou Arc True.
II only single rose is left,
Why should the summer pine?
A blade of grass in a rocky cleft:
A single star to shine.
Why should sorrow il all be lost.
If only thou art mine?
If only single bluebell CLEANS
Bright on the barren heath,
Still OF that flower the summer dreams,
Not OF his August wreath.
Why should sorrow IL thou are mine
Love, beyond change and death?

Tho sun shine forth in the blue,
He gladdens the graves till they laugh -

And dream of the touch OF the dew.
Why should 1 sorrow IL all be false,

FIRST TEST OF
C0SSON Law; TO
GUST A MAYOR
Byers Prosecutes Charge Of
Intoxication Against Mayor
OF Marengo.

Des Mcine.s. la. June s--Attorney
General III. w. Byers, under authority
of the Cosson law passed by the re-
cent legislature providing for the re-
moval of public officials. has COM
menced an action to GUST a. NJ. Hen
derson from the Office of mayor Of
Marengo.
This is the first test of the Cosson
law. The result will be watched with
the greatest interest in all sections of
the state.
Attorney General Byers has asked
County Attorney Kirby. of Iowa coun-
ty, to assist in the prosecution and
papers were filed yesterday with the
clerk of the district court at Marengo
BY the terms of the Cosson act a
judge of the district court to be des
ignated by the judges of the supreme
court and from another district from
that i'm which the accused lives is to be
in charge of the proceeding. The Pc
tition as filed asks that some Other
judge than those oc the Eighth ju-
dicial district hear the case and asks
that pending the hearing the office OF
mayor of Marengo be declared vacant.
1t is understood that Judge Preston, OF
Osllaloosa has been suggested to hear
the proceedings, and thus make the
first judicial ruling as to the Cosson
act.
Tho Cosson law for removal of Of
ficials was one of the most bitterly
fought of any before the legislature
There are half a dozen reasons as
signed for asling the removal. One OF
these Is iitoNication. and 1t is alleged
in the petition that Mayor Hender-
son has imbibed more than he should
on specific occasions.

GIANT EXPIRED BUT
LAYS NEW TRACK
D. u R. Spending Much Money On
Section of Woodward Where Fran
chise Ran Out Several Years Ago.

That the d. U. r. hardly expects to
lose its Woodward-ave. franchise next
November Is evidenced by the prepare
tons now being made to lay new
tracks in that thoroughfare. To par
ticularly point TO the lack OF anxiety,
the railroad Is beginning it's new work
on a stretch OF track FOR which the
franchise expired several years ago,
that from Pallister-ave. south to the
subway.
Plans that have been partially
announced by the ID. U. r. indicate
that it intends TO spend from $500, 900
TO 100000 this season on these five-
cent lines where the franchises are 10

will be placed in position Saturday
and Sunday. and a big gang of work

track and putting In new rails-"T

to Willis-ave. South of the latter
street, the tracks are being repaired

In the meantime. the public utilities
committee of the council has discov-
cred that 1t is largely powerless to
alter the defects in the Mack-ave.
service OF which complaints have
been made. Owing TO the fact that
the council repealed those portions OF
the Codd ordinance governing the
operation of ears on the hve-cent lines,
there is now no regulation for tho
company on any of these trunk lines.
The repeal was a preliminary to the
enactment OF the 24-second service
resolution which is still tied up In
the federal courts and will probably
remain there for some time TO come.
Corporation Counsel Hally does not
desire the council TO re-enact the old
ordinances governing the five-cent
lines-her~t make new legislation for
them until the 24-second service reso-
tuition has been fully tried out.
The council still has power to leg
islate for the three-cent lines without
interfering with litigation. and II Is
expected that some action along this
line will be taken by the committee
unless the D. u. r. offers changes In
the Fourteenth line service without
being ordered to make them.
