MISslSSIPPrS SEVEN SENATOR'S.

The New York Sun OF recent date
contained the following interesting
communication:
TO the Editor OF the Sun.
Sir.-After March the State OF
Mississippi will have seven native Sen.
ators in Congress. Three OF them
were recently elected or reelected on
the same day in as many States. The
election OF Governor Chamberlain as
Senator from Oregon calls attention
~ this fact. Both Senator Chamber
lain OF Oregon and Senator Newlands
OF Nevada are natives OF Natchez,
Miss.
Senator Clarke OF Arkansas and
Senator Gore OF Oklahoma are natives
Of Mississippi. Senator J. w. Bailey
of Texas was born and educated In
Mississippi,
The 1--we above mentioned, all repre-
senting different States, adding Sena-
tors Money aud McLaurin gives the
Delta State seven Senators.
The State OF Mississippi therefore
can well be named the mother OF
United States Senators: and as the
Nevada Legislature has put forward
Senator Newlands as Democratic
nominee she may add President to
her list OF distinguished statesmen.

DR.. H. W. THOMAS.

Dr. H. W. Thomas, pastor of the
Peoples Church of Chicago, who died
recently in Florida, was once an Iowa
man, having served three years as
chaplain of the Iowa penitentiary. Few
more noted ministers have filled pull
pits of the past and passing genera
ton. Not many lecturers have attained
TO greater popularity or been in great
er demand than was DR. Thomas dur
ing the years of his middle age activ-
ity From the time when he was ousted
from an Illinois Methodist conference
on the charge of heresy mainly because
he preached the virtue of the atone
ment as reaching beyond death and
thru all eternity, he has been a COM
handing figure on the pulpit and plat
form.
Thomas was independent Of creeds.
His church was scarcely so much a
church as a sanctuary. Whoever came
20 hear the great preacher carried
away much that was of present help
fulness and little that was strictly
doctrinal. He was contemporary with
Swing in more than life and location.
The two great preachers, wholly diff
ferent in temperament, learning and
training, were yet much alike. Thomas
was a great pure man, supremacy hon
est and an idealist Of idealists. He
preached and lectured the fatherhood
of God but more the brotherhood of
man. Whatever differences may have
arisen over variant doctrinal beliefs
none ever denied greatness of soul or
sincere desire OF helpfulness to eithe.
Of these two great ministers in an age
of powerful preachers.
1 Those Of middle age will mourn
Thomas sincerely. To the younger gen
Grafton he was less known and conse-
Iquently less loved.

thusing themselves to q large degree.
Why figure TOO closely, when the mon

but that it is out after everything in
sight and usually gets it. And the
members of the society find that If they
had figured their own time and labor
even at a very modest rate, they would
have lost money on the speculation.
And, instead of a great sum that was
to be triumphantly turned into the
treasury, they quietly pass over a
paltry amount, which does not repre-
sent an iota OF the actual damage the
show has done the city. And the man
who is handy with the little pencil an
nounces that the town has been soaked
again, and that it has donated perhaps
ten thousand dollars or even more in
order to put couple of hundred into
the treasury of popular local organ
ization. And the general verdict Is

The Pioneer.


He Is swart from the glow Of the
merciless sun,
And his muscles are huge from the
work he has done;
He has builded his home where the
prairie wolves roam
He's the newer, the blazer of trails.
He is crude with the strength of the
seeker of toll;
From the hot. barren wastes he is
gathering spoil
For nation that lives from the boun-
ty he gives
He's the builder, the winner of ways.
Where the silent wastes bake in the
summers hot glow,
Where the forests are choked in the
shroud of the snow,
By his brain and his Drawn a new ma
ton is born
He goes forward TO conquer new
realms.
And the world has its heroes of lace
and gold braid,
That are honored and wined for the
waste they have made:
But the world little knows of the debt
that it owes
To the newer, the blazer of trails.

Weekly.

economy. He should creosote his fence
posts and thus double or treble their
durability. The labor expended upon
the setting of three posts will prac-
ing posts in a preservative on rainy
days he can not only save the cost
Of this labor but the cost of two new
posts, it should look to him like ready
money. Why doesn't he look at it?
The life Of almost any wood can
at least be doubled by thorough i'm
pregnation with creosote or zinc chlor-
fde. This alone means a great saw
ing, both in the original cost of the
timbers and in the labor of replacing
them. But better yet, cheap woods
when we'll treated are just as good as
the valuable and naturally durable
but untreated. Then cottonwood, will
low, spruce, lodgepole pine, or jack
pine can be used in place of cedar for
posts; birch, hemlock, or ,tamarack in
place of oak for ties; lodgepole pine
in place OF cedar for poles; and in
every case the treated substitute will
last longer than the wood commonly
used, and will cost less.
The railroads do it. The Northern
Pacific now creosotes nearly every tie
used. Its two creosoting plants at
Brainerd, Minnesota, and Paradise,
Montana, are running to their full ca
pacity and using any species of wood.
The Great Northern operates a large
plant at Somer-, Montana, where it
uses zinc chloride instead of creo-
sote.
Why doesn't the Iowa farmer take
advantage of the willow and raise his
own fence posts. Creosote and the
willow fence belong together.

THAT SPLENDID cossoN LAW.
rClinton Herald.1


The more we see and learn of the
Cosson law the better we like it, and
the better the people of Iowa are going
to IKE it. For a number of years we
have been cursed by the professional
temperance prosecutor. He became al
most as much of a menace to public
safety as the ambulance chaser. He
fiourished better i'll some localities than
in others, but he was found to a greater
or less extent in every county in the
state
Thank goodness the Cosson law has
sounded the death knell of this NUS
ance and menace. Under the new law
the county attorney is the man who
must file the Information against the
liquor interests when they violate the
law. This most effectually cuts OFF the
professional prosecutors who have
f1ourished in the past upon the pay
nent OF rather rich fees.
OF course there have been times
when conscientious men have prose-
cuted liquor violations. But as rule
the men. outside the county attorney,
men who could secure but little prac-
ice IN any Otner way, Dy reason OIL
their questionable methods, or other
wise, and who were all the more dam
gerous to society by reason thereof.
Rightful prosecution of violations of
the liquor laws is Just exactly what
we want, but we should be thankful
that the day of the professional pros
ecutor is thing of the past, and that
opportunity to blacknail and work
hardships is done with

There are a number of lodges and
societies of various kinds in Iowa and

would share the enormous receipts.

approached, they worked harder than
ever and when the shows actually ar
rived in town, a large number simply
devoted themselves to the task of get

The week left a bad taste in the
mouths of many people. They wonder
ed If 1t was necessary to bring such
an aggregation to a clean, sweet smell

to permit the Generalization OF very
many young folks and Of some who
were old enough TO know better. But
it was for a good cause, and SO there
were no protests and everybody was
glad THAT the society must have cleared

REGULARITY AND RICHNESS.
lBoone News Republican,


The republican party has been a
grand party in the past and will be
q grand party in the future. But it viii
never become great by pointing 10 its
past achievements. The republican
party is the party of the people because
ii takes up every moral and economical
question and settles it right and not
because il rests on its laurels and
points here and there and says Behold
what we have done Regularity is very
much to be desired but rightness is the
very germ of existence of any political
party.
It is not the intention of Senator
Cum1lins and the little band of insuc-
gents to overthrow the republican
party. and the bitterest cup they have
to bear is the charge Of giving aid and
comfort to the democrats. But they
perceive that they must brave all of
these charges and more to prevent
the fossilization of the party Their
reward will come when they are in
the majority of the republican party liz
stead of in the minority That time
is bound to come. 1t is not conceiv-
able that the American people will
much longer complacently submit to
the dictation of the old school poll
ticians who have been wont to get to-
gether and fix things up to suit them
selves regardless of the rights and
conscience Of the public.
