rMaeNE1lsMu in WOMEN.

Two terrible crimes involving women
have within the week Mortified the
public from California to Maine. The
horrible murder of the Sigel girl and
who crave horror and sensation their
fill. AS examples of unbridled passion
and the end of the idiocy that leads
women to play with the fire of pas
sion, they tell the whole story The les
son is plain, whether needed or I'M
needed. The woman who arouses the
storm of violent desire, suffers when
the cyclone breaks.
Mrs. woodill played the fool She
was especially attractive and "mag-
netie," whatever the word may mean,
to one or another. We know now what
it meant to the man who murdered
her. She knew it and delighted to ex-
ercise her power. AS married woman
she wrote notes TO Robert Eastman,
addressing him as Dear Wabby," silly
enough but instinct with persuasive
ness to a man like him. She smiled and
permitted his attention, gratified that
she was capable of driving a man
crazy" with a frantic and plainly
criminal passion for another mans
wife. Then it is presumed he killed
her. At any rate her naked body was
found floating, the man shot and killed
himself TO avoid capture and the in
cident was closed.
Such foolish women are not uncom-
mon. They pose and smile slyly in the
street cars, on the street, in their
homes, craving the general admiration
Of men and anxious to arouse the desire
of possession. They are magnetic"
and know it. They set themselves be-
hind their marriage certificates and
their own self control like a tray of
diamonds Behind a jewelers. plate glass
to tempt and cultivate desire. In time
some one comes along and throws a
brick thru the window.
Married or unmarried, the, woman
| who makes her sex prominent ard
plays with her magnetism upon
those who are evidently. and openly
attracted; who futters about the arc
lights Of passion like moth about the
street light, stands in present danger
| Of being scorched or shriveled in its
flame. She may be and often is guilt
idess Of mortal sin but she is fool
pure and simple, an IDIOT playing with
dynamite. a child with the mirror and
the hammer. If she doesn't figure in a
terrible tragedy some good angel has
Tended away disaster OF she has failed
to meet the right man. ="
1t is worth while for the, foolish and
magnetic woman to read the story OF
Mrs. Woodill. Her lesson is in lit. She
is scratching match in a powdernil
every time she exercises her mag.
netfsn." She is handling live wires
Some day she may close the circus

KEEP cARN1vALs OUT.
[Grinnell Register

1t is the opinion of the Register
from little observation Of the all
legged show company which hoisted
its tents in Grinnel1 the first part
of this week that the town would
be better OF to exclude all such at
fractions from its doors. We are un.
able to see where the thing does
the least bit of good to anybody but
it is plain that it does do consid-
cradle harm.
Any legitimate amusement enter
prise which really offers something
in the way of amusement, should
not come under the ban. If a car.
nival company really has something
to offer in the way of entertainment
the objectionable features might be
overruled but it is fairly. safe
wager that nine-tenths of the cheap,
hitherto unheard of companies which
make Grinneil are absolutely with
ont merit in any respect -
1t doesn't take very high class
of entertainment to allow show
to pass muster, we believe. We
would be lenient in this regard he
cause it is the great plea of some
that the people who can not afford
TO attend the entertainments patron
lied by the weather class must have
some form Of cheap amusement
Granted. but does a cheap amuse-
ment consist of and excuse a mess

SHEEP ON THE FARM.


Perhaps the most valuable load of
products of the farm ever delivered in
Massena was a load of wool by A. p.
Erickson one day last week, which
weighed 1884 pounds and brought the
neat sum of $7O9.4O: valuable load.
III it wasn't such a, peaceable country
the farmers would have to have an
armed guard to pro'ec- their crops,
they are getting so high priced MIR.
Erickson slipped car of sheep to Chi
cago Monday, accompanying the ship
ment himsel. He will probably sch
them for about 81 per hundred We
are sorry we didn't go into the sheep
business ourselves last year.
Mr.. James Hunt, from Melville
township, said to us three weeks ago
that he had just sold the wool from 1873
sheep for 1858, and that the lambs
would bring him at least $500. Con-
slderlng the small amount of feed and
care they require the income is a very
large per cent on the capital invested
and the labor performed TO produce it.

and they will have the support of the
community in their just indignation.
The farmers Of this community all
most to man demonstrated their
desire to get rid of the saloon at this
place; majority of the voters of the
town did the same thing; and a large
number who did not sign the remon-

adjustment OF the curse that has
been standing on one of the main
street corners of our town. The
thing is gone now. For the sake of
our boys and our girls, for the sake
of humanity, for the sake of our flu
ture citizenship, let us keep it away.

WHEN BIG THINGS ARE COMMONPLACE

Great events are common today.
They arrive and settle themselves in
history without noise and with only
passing notice. We accept big thing
nowadays as part of the days work.
Big things have become commonplace
In an age that juggles with heni-
spheres, changes the physical relations
of continents before breakfast and
whose workmen sweep up the litter in
cident to the making OF a new city at
quitting time in order that it may be
ready for business opening the next
morning at eight. A big thing is sim
ply the incident of a day.
The other day the last spike was
driven which completed another trans
continental railway. There were no
ceremonies. A gang of railroad labor
ers swung the rails into position, the
spihers drove home the spikes, the fish
plates were bolted tight and the men
scattered from the advance of an eager
engine dragging time freight from New
York to the west coast There were
no gold and silver spikes, no fireworks,
no speeches. no gathering of notables
There wasn't time. The way bills took
precedence of speeches and the only
orator heard on the occasion was the
track boss. Come away with that
rail-" says he. step lively now before
4 take a poke at youse wild pinch
bar. Now get out of the way of the
engine. IT'S all right sor, they can
come ahead" The ceremony was over.
Perhaps a few old men who had wit
messed the imposing ceremonies with
which the last length of the Union
Pacific was laid We're disappointed, but
the men who pay the freight bills and
who were waiting for the train were
not They broke open the boxes, mark
ed up the stuff and had it on sale be-
fore the band would have done play
ing fifty years ago.
This age is old business. Given a
big thing to be done and We say "do
dt' and go quietly on looking for an
other big thing that lacks doing. We
express and feel little surprise when
it is done, look over the JOB and say
Get out of the way of the engine
Hurry along to the next big thing and
get it out of the way. You're keeping
MS waiting. There's the canal TO finish.
Hurry up" And the boss lifts his
raucous voice, the gang moves on and
all take the new accomplishment into
our daily activities as naturally as tho
1t had always existed. We look for
ward to the next big thing as quietly
iand naturally as we notice neighbor
coming down the road. So common
place are the marvels of accomplish
ment in the twentieth century.
Perhaps Methusaleh lived well on
toward his one tF1ousandth birthday;
but 10-year-old boy in this century
could tell the old man more in a min
ute than his ten centuries taught him.

In speaking of the work that is be-
ing done at the McAuley Mission, Ray
Stannard Baker in the July American
Magazine makes the following conclu-
sion:
"The point wish to make most en-
phatically is that here in this mission
of the slums, among the lowest of the
low, is demonstrated again and again
the power of a living religion to re-
construct the individual human life.
And 1t apparently makes not the
slightest difference whether the mon is
an unlettered christian or a university
graduate. the power of reconstruction
is the same. Once grasped. such re-
ligious faith changes the whole world
for the man who grasps it. 1t cures, as
1t did in apostolic times. both bodies
and souls, and it produces, moreover. a
singularly simple and brotherly rela-
tionship among those who are reached
a desire to serve one another 1t is no
affectation which causes these men to
refer to one another as brother They
are brothers"

Why the Church wanes and sickens.

Why the Church Wanes and Sickens.
Ray Stannard Baker, writing in the
July American Magazine on the Cod
1essness OF New York, puts his finger
on the core of the causes for the decay
of the church in New York CITY. He
says:
"The plain fact is, the church. even
the institutional church, is.still content
with religion that is a thing anart.
that concerns only small, superficial
things, that deals with children. Can
any religion really live that does not
apply itself frankly to every side of
human life-business, industry, bank
ing, tenement houses, land owning, in
short the whole of life? Or can the
church recover from its present decad-
ent condition until it strikes to the very
roots Of social conditions?
"The rich people of the uptown
churches, indeed, have the poor on
their consciences as never before. To
meet the condition they have built in
stitutional churches good idea, SO far
as it goes. Theysare willing to pay a
large proportion of the expenses of
maintenance. or even all of the ex-
penses: they, are willing that the insti-
tutional churches should be finer than
their own churches; they will even go
down and help with the clubs, classes
and Sunday schools. In all these super
fetal things, in the singing and pray
ing. they are willing to cooperate; but
| that is as far as they have got at pres
eht. There the cooperation stops
| short!

religion to a cooperation, in: business
and politics. to banking and land own

heard of The Church Of the Working
Men, The Church and the Foreigner,
and so on), but they are not themselves
willing to let religion command thei,
own lives. They worship with the
working man and then turn around and
charge him exorbitant rental for the
home he lives in, they take fat profits
on the necessaries of life, they work
women and little children long hours
at low wages and out. OFF, the pro.

CARNIVAL OR FAIR?
INIT. Vernon Record.]


Cedar Rapids gives UP her carnival
The carnival had outlived it's useful
ness. The day is past when any old
kind of vuglar show will draw a
crowd. The people generally are be-
coming educated up to a higher stand
ard. so that there is constantly dimin-
ishing percentage who can be appealed
to with a show of the carnival stripe.
Just to give Cedar Rapids something
10 think think about we would suggest a first
class fair. Something on the order of
the state fair, except it would naturally
have to be smaller. A comparatively
few people can afford to go to the state
fair, as a trip to Des Moines from this
distance takes both time and money.
But the big attendance at the state
fair shows the people to be interested.
and we believe that four fairs in the
different sections of the state, could be
managed profitably.

RAILROAD coMMass1oN FARCE

1.-THE Ida County Pioneer.]
That the railroad commission OF
Iowa has become very much of farce
is again demonstrated by its recent de-
cision that the Chicago & Great West
ern Railway need not at this time in
stall a connecting switch with the
Northwestern at Carroll. The railroad
made a plea of not being able to stand
the expense, and the commissioners ac-
cepted it.
Our state laws provide that where
two railroads cross and there is a rea-
sonable demand from the shippers for
a connecting switch it shall be the duty
of the board to order the railroads in
terested to construct the connecting
link. A showing was made that the
shipping public suffered delay as we'll
as expense by not having the connec-
ton, and there was absolutely no rea-
son why the commissioners should not
have ordered the switch installed, ex-
cept the one reason that they did not
want to do so.
There are dozens Of instances Of this
character, and two in our own immedi-
ate vicinity. one at Wall Lake where
the Northwestern and the Illinois Cen
trail cross each other and one at
Mapleton where the Northwestern and
the Milwaukee cross. At neither point
is there a connecting switch. altho our
laws provide and justice to the people
demands that there should be such
conveniences.
If the concrete block works of Ida
Grove has a car of blocks for shipment
to the first station south of Mapleton
on the Milwaukee, the car has to be
shipped in such roundabout way that
the long haul makes a prohibitive
freight rate, and the Ida Grove COM
pany loses the business
The railroad commission knows OF
the condition at Carroll, at Wall Lake,
at Mapleton and other points, but alb
solutely no relief is afforded, and IL
the instance of Carroll the board in
suits the intelligence of the public and
makes itself ridiculous by ruling that
the expense would be too great for the
poor railroad to bear.
1t is plain that the board is we'll
named for it is apparent that it is truly
a railroad commission-with the ac-
cent on the railroad.
