A BEAUTIFUL VISION
 OF THE GREAT BEYOND

Following is an excerpt of Bob Taylor's lecture on "Hope." It is a pretty piece of imagery worthy of a place in your Scrap Book as well as place in your memory:
 Beyond this beautiful and rip bling stream, just over a grassy knoll, there blooms a rare and rich ly tinted flower. They tell us that it is so rarely beautiful that it may have blushed into life at the touch of an angels kiss and caught it's rosy flush from burning star.
 Beyond the painless mountains that lift their blne peaks in the fading distance they tell us that there is charming valley that drinks the diamond dew of the morning and bathes in liquid sun : beams, clad in verdure of everlast ing green and dotted all over with flowers of every hue and shade.
 Beyond the blue waves of the painless ocean thay tell us there is a climate from which the mellow sunlight of spring never, never de- parts; that it is laden with songs of birds of beautiful plumage, and people that never hear of war or pestilence.
 Beyond the curtain of darkness that hangs over the gloomy night, there dwells a picture of fresh new life-that seems to wake and move and breathe away the mists, and they tell us it's background is pleas ure.
 Beyond the aches and struggles, the fears and disappointments, the bitter trials and the wearing labors of time, we are taught there is an eternity whose highest possibilities give promise of calmer hours and sWeeter rest"

THE candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention will soon be coming to the front with an appeal that the "dear people, demand their services, and although their individual interests would be jeopardized by their services to the people they are willing to sacrifice them. That's an old, old song and the fellow who makes it, and there are plenty of them, has the ear marks of a chronic office seeker Beware of these patriots.

IT will soon be time for Arizonans to begin to look around for set of fifty-two sensible and conservative men who are to write the constitu- tion for the new commonwealth of Arizona. Great care should be exercised in the selection of these men. They should be men with a big lot of common sense and very little political ambition. Common sense fellows will write a common sense fundamental law, etc.

A Little Mixed

The Shakespeare club of certain town was noted for it's amateur per formances. Once a social celebrity gorgeous in the costume of lord in- waiting, was called upon to say ''The queen has swooned." As he stepped upon the stage his friends appla auded vociferously. Rowing his thanks, he faced the king, and, in a high pitched voice, said:
 "The swoon has queened."
 There was a roar of laughter. He patently waited until it had sub- sided and tried again: "The sween has cooned."
 Again the house roared, and the stage manager, in a voice that could be heard all over the theater, said Come off, you darned fool!" Bu, the ambitious amateur refused tc surrender, and in rasping falsetto as he was being assisted off the stage, screamed: The coon has sweemed. ."-Ex.

MuscATlNE's SALOON FIGHT.
Tabernacle Mass Meeting to Be Hello

Tabernacle Mass Meeting to Be Held
to Forestali Consent Petition.
Muscatine. June ga mass meeting
at the w. A. Sunday tabernacle, being
in its nature adverse to the success CT
mulct petition Of consent, should one
be circulated in this city late in the
summer, will doubtlessly be held,
according to statements made by menu
bers of the Law Enforcement League,
in the near future. 1t is asserted that
well-known speakers will deliver adj
dresses, and Muscatine's present pros
porous condition be held out as an ar
gument against signing the petition
and thus aiding the saloon to again Sc
sure a foothold in this city. It will
not be possible for those interested
to circulate a petition Of consent be-
fore the latter part Of August, but
as member of the league stated
today, "1t is better to prepare 70
meet an adversary before his ar
rival, than to wait until he appears on
the scene" 1t is the intention of
the league to make the mass meet
ing a rousing. enthusiastic gather
ing, and as soon as the date is Sc
lected the meeting will be extensive
ly advertised.
Just what the attitude of the sa-
loon men is concerning the circula-
ton of the petition of consent this
summer, can not be stated at pres
ent. 1t is understood. however, that
one or two are seriously considering
the probability Of the success of such
petition, but will make no an
nouncement of their plans. The ex-
,pense Of a petition is considerable,
and just who will back it this year,
should 1t be circulated, is to some
extent problematical.

Des Moines River Claims Another Vic
tim-Made Hard Fight for Life.
Des Moines, June 24-An unknown
man was drowned in the Des Moines
river yesterday afternoon shortly after
8 o'clock about 800 yards below the
c.. r. I. & P. bridge on the winterset
branch, which spans the river near
East Twentieth street.
Tom Boston and Bud Gibson. two
teamsters engaged in the sheveling
sand. on the bank of. the river, were
the only witnesses of the drowning,
and they only witnessed the mans last
frantic struggles in mid-current be-
fore he sank in the swift water to rise
no more.
Neither of the teamsters could swim
and they were compelled to stand help
lessly on the bank and witness the
mans last struggles as he was swept
before their gaze to his death.
They did the best Of which they were
capable, however, and alternated be-
tween cries for help and shouts OF en-
couragement to the doomed man. He
was evidently too weak to answer,
however and gave no heed to the cries,
saving all of his rapidly failing strokes
to keep him as long as possible from
his impending tate.
