THE COURT HOUSE PROBLEM.

Fort Madison is naturally exercised
over the destruction of the county
court house there by fire. The old
building, as was proper. had large
place in the affections of the COM
munity. 1t was regarded with mingled
feelings of veneration and pride and
was invested with associations and
memories not easily effaced or for
gotten Much of the history of Lee
county and Fort Madison was made
in one way or another within its
walls. Understanding these things,
one can understand why the recent
serious injury to the venerable struc-
ture touched the heart strings of the
good people of our neighboring city.
AT this writing it is not known
whether it is the decision of the peo-
pie in that part of the county to re-
pair the old building witt the funds
available for the purpose or move for
the erection of new and finer one
The opportunity is a good one for
Fort Madison to secure modern
building, up-to-date in every particle
lar and equal 10 the needs of the COM
munity in future years, il that city
so elects. This is matter for our
neighbors there to decide. Whatever
their decision in the matter, they can
rely upon the good will of keokull
and its best Offices toward the at
tainment of the end in view.

by Des Moines special to The Gate
City on Friday, passed the house on
that day and now awaits only Gov.

first proposed at the big booster meet
ing held in the Grand opera house in
this city early in January. The out
line there presented was used as the
basis of the act later introduced in
the legislature and since endorsed by
, both branches of that body. The act
provides, in brief, that city revenues
arising from licenses, fines and

strictions, for publicity purposes with
a view of inducing the location of fac

AN INDIAN ON THE INDIAN.

DR.. Charles A. Eastman lectured
before the Grant Club in Des Moines
few evenings ago on THE Real In
dian meaning thereby not the tran
s,itional Indian but the primitive In
dian, or the Original American, as he
called him. Among other things, he
said that in primitive days the In
dian regarded the hereafter as great
mystery. He had no fears of death.
He did not attempt to fathom the life
beyond the grave. Then came the
white man with his teachings of the
hereafter. Whereupon the Indian be-
came weaker and lost his courage.
DR.. Eastman declared that too
much civilization means more locks
on the doors and more policemen to
keep the peace. He said the Indian
used to spend the years OF his life be-
tween the ages OF six and sixty to
build up his physical being in the
way that nature intended. He could
run for days without exhaustion" he
said, and did not need rub down
on his return. At times he tasted
giving the entire physical structure its
needed rest. His life was an ex-
ample of the principles which he de
sired to inculcate in his children"
He was governed by instinct and
intuition which never erred
His home life was perfect in its
simplicity
He killed the beasts OF the field
only for food, and never wantonly
slaughtered them
DR.. Eastman declared that civiliza
ton makes a man cut his wife's, his
brothers or his own throat in the
mad race for money.

A PRAYER.

A PRAYER.
Lord, not for the light in darkness dc
we pray
Not that the veil be lifted from our
eyes,
Nor that the slow ascension OF oul
s. day
Be otherwise.
Not for a clearer vision of the things
Whereof the fashioning shall make
us great
Not for the remission of the peril and
stings
OF time and fate.
Not for fuller knowledge of the end
Whereto we travel, bruised vet I'M
afraid,
Nor that the little healing that we
lend
Shall be repaid
Not these, o Lord We would not
break the bars
Thy wisdom sets about us: we shall
climb
Unfettered to the secrets of the stars
In Thy good time.
We do not crave the high perception
swift
When to refrain were we'll, and when
fulfill
Nor Yet the understanding strong to
sift
The good from i'll.
Not these, 0 Lord For these Thou
hast revealed
We know the golden season when to
reap
The heavy-fruited treasure OF the
feld,
The hour of sleep,
Not these We know the ncmlock
from the rose.
The pure from stained the noble from
the base,
The tranquil holy light OF truth that
glows
On PHYS face.
We know the paths wherein our feet
should press
Across our hearts are written Thy
DEGREES.
W. now, o Lord, be merciful 10 bless
With more than these.
Grant us the will to fashion as we
feel,
Grant us the strength to labor as we
know,
Grant US the purpose, ribbed and
edged with steel,
To strike the blow.
knowledge We ask knowledge
Thou hast lent,
But, Lord, the will-there lies our
bitter need.
Give us to build above the deep in

The deed, the deed.
