STEAMER LOST
DURING CYCLONE ?

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
CAPETOWN. Aug. 5.-Under orders
from the British admiralty two war
ships were dispatched to-day TO search for
the steamship Waratah, carrying 800 pas
sengers. which Is now nine days overdue
in her trip from Durham TO Capetown.
The trip requires only two days and II
is considered almost certain that the
Waratah went down i'm the cyclone that
swept the coast the second day she was
out.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that no incoming ship reports seeing any
disabled vessel or wreckase from such a
ship.

would he have been without his mother

would he have been without his mother
him?
Ex-President Loubet of France used
to make many trips to the home of his
peasant mother, and sit in the sua,
rocked to sleep on her lap.
I say it to you tonight, my friends
Of Marshalltown, that as a nation we
owe it-hear me, men!-we, as nation
we as men, we as taxpayers, We as
voters, we owe it to our mothers to
try and discover what it is that is
|jeopardizing the home and making it
harder for the mother to rear her
brood in the fear of God. And listen
to me! Whenever lot of men be-
come so damnable, SO sinking, so low
down as to refuse to respond to the
requests of the mothers of the nation,
then. sirs, when manhood is so damna-
BILE, so whisky-soaked and under the
power of the good-for-nothing whisky
clique and their hell hounds that curse
our land today-when we are so I'M
der their power that we will not rise
to defend our homes and our children
against the tidal wave of iniquity, and
brutality, and drunkenness, and hell,
that beats like a battering army, then
the work has begun that will end in
the oblivion of that nation, no matter
how grand or great she may be or
what she is worth.

A GOOD SAMARITAN.
Waterloo Courier.l

If editorial columns are no place FOR
sentiment they may at least be used to
commend such a/humane act as was
performed on the bridge the other day
by a woman who picked up a little dog
that had been run over by an automo-
bile and carried it to the police station
where it was given tender care. We are
told that the little fellow suffering
agonies appreciated the kindness and
wagged his tail in gratitude. It does
often seem as If dog characters were
not second even to that of man and
woman. And certainly everybody
adores good Samaritan whether it BIZ
the good Samaritan himself, whether Il
be Abraham Lincoln walking back 2
mile and a half to pull a pig out OF g
hole or whether it be the woman who
picked up the little sufferer on the
Fourth Street bridge and carried it t.

WHERE is THE BEE INSPECTOR?

The Davenport Democrat complains
that the position of bee Inspector
created by the legislature. is still UNI
filled and wonders greatly thereat. 1t
surmises that the paucity Of salary
connected with the position has some-
what to do with the scarcity OF appli
cations for the place.
People who keep bee are beginning
to worry over this apparently studied
neglect of their interests. While this
apathy prevails the bees of Iowa are
winging their way here and there like
neglected children, utterly unnoticed
and perhaps acquiring habits of sloth-
fulness and neglecting the swarm. The
bee of Iowa is utterly without inspec-
curiosity of a child or the wandering
puppy who mistakes the busy bee for
the giddy house fly and starts little
unofficial inspection that satisfies the
inspector and puts him out of the pos
sibilities OF future bee inspectorship.
The Iowa bee is being neglected.; more
she, he and it, are being denied a legal
right assured under the act of the gem
eral assembly of the comm onwealth of
Iowa. The bee has right to inspection
under the law. Why this oppressive
denial of the common rights of bee
ship? Why, in this great state, fringed
by the mighiest rivers of a continent,
overlaid with the most fertile soil in
the universe, dressed in the verdure of
the waving corn, etc, etc, etc, popu-
lated by freemen and SO forth are the
legal rights of the humblest insect
withheld and trampled upon?
Bring forth the inspector and let
him inspect. The hour calls for the
man. Even now a low deep humming
within the hive tells of the approach
ing swarm. Millions of bees yet unborn
are waiting for June TO buzz out into
the glad sunlight and hear the clamor
of the milApan beaten by the house
VIE WQlle she Calls loudly IOr the Dee
master. Is all this to pass unnoted and
uninspected? Who knows what germ
infected dust is being thrown at the
whirling swarm in order to induce it
to settle? Who knows whether or not
the Misunderstanding enchantment rises
from uilkpans that have been proper
ly sterilized or that reek with clabber
and the ferment of change Has bee
no rights? Must he be assailed with
dirty pans and the dirt of the highway
and be thrust into hives that never
knew disinfectanto Forbid it the
laws of the state of Iowa. Where is the
inspector? Let him stand forth The
American bee must be inspected
Come a runnin'. Get on your veil
and your gloves, tuck your trousers in
your socks and inspect. Iowa expects
every inspector to do his duty.

MURPHY LINES UP.
[vinton Eagle]

Senator Dolliver has taken the tariff
bill between his teeth and proposes to
shake out some of the higher sched-
ules. He has given the tariff question
much study and we believe he is we'll
prepared to state what schedules are
too high and what are too low. The
pledge of the party is for a correct re-
vision and it should be the aim Of the
party representatives to see that the
pledge of the party is carried out. If
the interests of the laboring people
and the artisans Of the mills are looked
after there is no question but the mill
owners will be taken care of. The in
terest of the west is to see that no mills
are closed. With labor we'll employed
there is no question as to what will

all. chambers from which hot air is
sent to the other rooms.
The ice-chest, also, is built into the
house 1t has doors opening on to the
back porch, and thru these ice may be
put from the outside in summer. The
garbage can is also kept in a chamber
in the wall and may be reached by the
garbage man from the outside or the
housewife from the inside
There are fireplaces turnout the
house and these serve as ventilators.
The coal for all the fires is hoised 20
the roof by simple chanblock ana
dumped thru a coal-hole into large
pocket from which it distributes itself
automatically, and the housewife may
feed any fire by pulling lever
All these unusual conveniences are
included in the simplest form of house,
that which costs $1,000 after the molds
are made. This house could not be set
on fire under any circumstances. There
is no need of insurance; there is no
portion of it that is at all affected by
the passing of time, except that the
walls grow harder; there are none OF
the ordinary repairs such as painting
or papering Its walls and its floors
are impervious to the attacks of any
germ or insect. 1t is the eleanest
structure on earth and the simplest in
proportion to its efficiency.
With the multiplication of molds
these houses will become common.
How could money be made easier or
more surely than by company organ
lied in the western cities to mold model
cheap houses? There is hint for the
Iowa builder in the $1,000, five-room
house.
