SPANISH FUSE
is SIMMERINC

Special to the Express.
Madrid, via Hendaye, Dec. 12.-Ever
since the Portuguese revolution the
Spanish government has been sitting
over a powder magazine with a lighted
fuse simmering away inside 1t. ii was
sitting on the magazine even before
King Emanuel was deposed, but it was
Manuels deposition that set the fuse
ITO burning.
ANY hour may bring revolt in
lspain The slightest event may pre-
cipitate IT. One governmental precau-
tion TOO many will start trouble Or
one precaution too few win do the
same thing An indiscreet utterance
Of some monarchist official or the wight
kind Of inHammatory speech by one Of
the revolutionary leaders will be the
signal for a widespread uprising.
There was never a dynasty in greater
danger than is King Alfonso's at this
minute
The Spanish and Portuguese repub-
leans have long been working togeth-
Ell Il was the intention to start the
revolutions in the two countries at the
same time. Il 50 happened, however,
that the movement developed some
what more rapidly in Portugal than in
Spain. The Portuguese could not wait
without endangering their cause. The
Spanish felt that they miFdt endanger
theirs by acting premaluleiy. The
Spanish republicans feel intensely the
humiliation Of having the comparative
" unimportant Portugal establish re-
public ahead Of Spain and they are i'm
patient to act. Moreover, the Portu-
guese have shown them that attempts
at revolutions are by no means hope
less.
The republicans idea-both in Spain
and Portugal-is to establish a federal
republic in which both countries are
included This is deemed necessary
because the population of Spain is
split, according to geographical loca-
ton, into a number of very distinct
races. 1t is believed they viii live to-
gether with least friction If they are
given home rule in purely local affairs,
with single president and congress
for the entire group, much after the
pattern Of the United States Of Ameri. |
ca. The plan seems satisfactory to all |
the republicans throughout the entire
country and there is no doubt that the /
Portuguese are willing to join such a
union
Alfonso will probably make harder +
fight FOR his throne than did Manuel
He aas ADLER advisers than did his
brother-monaroh, and greater financial
and military resources. It is certain,
however that the army is by no
means loyal to him. Exceat for the
high officers, it is probably safe to say
that more than half the troops would

MAKE THIS a DAY.

Make this day. There is no gain
In brooding over days to come;
The message Of today is plain.
The futures lips are ever dumb.
The wo.k Of yesterday is gone
For good or III. let come what may
But now we face another dawn,
Make this day.
Though yesterday we failed to see
The urging hand and earnest face
That men call Opportunity,
We failed to know the time or place
For some great deed, what need to
fret?
The dawn comes up a silvery gray,
The golden moments must be met,
Make this a day.
lhis day Is yours; your work IS yours;
The odds are not who pays your hire,
The thing accomplished that endures,
II il be what the days require,
He who takes up his daily round,
As one new armored for the fray
Tomorrow stops on solid ground,
Make this day.

THEME FOR DRAMA
WHITE PLAGUE
HORRORS OF THE DISEASE WILL
BE DEPICTED,
HOWEVER.

Des Moines, March ga tubercu
losis drama, to be staged In many
towns and cities of Iowa, is the latest
move by DR.. A. e. Kepford in the edu
cational campaign being made for the
eradication of the great white plague
from the state.
The drama Is being written by Prof.
w. E. Jones of the Iowa State Univer-
sity. 1t will deal more with the prob
lens connected with the disease than
with the disease itself. The idea Is
to tell in tho form of a play, the story
Of how these tuberculosis problems
may be worked out. 1t will be a strict
ly problem play. like the "Witching
Hour" or s'The Thief" the object of
the play being to suggest methods OF
combating the disease.
The horrors of the disease will not
be depicted as those who are backing
the movement believe that play OF
this character should deal with the
problems incident to the disease and
not with the horrors of the disease
itself.

HAS SUIC|DED
RELATIVES OF MURDERER BE
LiEvE HE HAS JUMPED INTO
DEs MONIES RIVER.

4 Relatives of Bruce Grimsley, who
,shot and killed Weede Albertson near
1.-THE Curran ice house on West Me.
lcnanic street early Saturday night,
express the belief that Grimsley has
committed suicide by jumping into the
Des Moines river The father of the
murderer says that the lad was al
ways weakly, being subject to hemor-
rhages and they fear that he has ended
This own life during one of these per-
(iods. Although Chief Gallagher and
his patrolmen have instituted a thor
ough search for the murderer in the
city, he is still at large. The officers
believe that the young man has left
the city. They take no stock in the
suicide theory.
Chief Gallagher and Officer Smith
searched the Grimsley residence and
the homes Of other relatives last night
but their search was Ruthless. The
relatives OF the murderer are greatly
worried, declare that they know moth
ing Of his whereabouts and if they did
they would induce him to surrender to
the police.
From the information CLEANED by
Sn1ef Gallagher from relatives Gr1mS-
ley has been weak ever since his
birth. On account of his sicLly con-
dition he never did much work, his
parents keeping and taking care of
him. 1t Is thought by the father that
1t was during one Of these spells that
the Lad committed the murder.
Z, Those who have delved into the
facts surrounding the murder state
that il the murderer had surrendered
himself to the police after he had
committed the felony, claiming self
Gefense, and his weak condition, he
would have sufficient ground to be
cleared from the charge, which If
proven may mean life sentence in
the penitentiary.
! Chief Gallagher has been in COM
munication with officers in other
cities and good description Of the
man has been given.

GETS rs CENTS FOR HIS CORN.
William Van Crsdel Of Near Malvern
Produced Sixty Bushels to
the. Acre

Malvern, Ia, March 29.-Some OF
the finest corn that has been shipped
out of here this year was car load OF
ear corn hauled in this week by VIM.
Van Orsdel from west of town. 1t was
sold to an Osceola man and brought
Mr.. Van Orsdel Is cents per bushel
straight through. 1t was yellow dent
variety bred up and raised by Mr..
Van Orsdel for number OF years
past and the last year produced sixty
five bushels per acre on ground that
had been farmed for forty-five years,
which goes to show that Mills county
soil does not wear out if it is handled
right. The corn was picked last fall
before the rainy season set in and was
perfectly dry, so will make good seed,
which was what the Osceo'a man
bought it for Mr.. Van Orsdel also
sold bunch of hogs last week for ten
cents per pound. Seventy-fve cent
corn and 1O-cent hogs ought to make
any farmer prosper.
