A Runaway.

Ole Tangen's team became fright
ened Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Tang
ems son drove them into the lumber
yard and while loading lumber they
started to run. On approaching the
corner near F. A. Figge's residence

feet high, with space between the
Figge residence and the sidewalk of
about ten feet In making the turn
one of the horses ran over the walk
and fell into the space above describ-
ed, while the other horse was on
the opposite side of the walk. No
particular damage was done aside
from a few slight scratches to the
horse that fell.-Ossian Bee.

Perry Farmer Has Record.

Perry, Ia, July ga. A. Wor-
rell, a well-to-do farmer living few
miles from Perry, takes exception to
the statement printed in Iowa papers
several days ago concerning the rec
ord of John Alstott of Jefferson as a
corn plower. Alstott claimed that
he had plowed corn for the past for
ty years and was still taking care OF
large field.
Mr.. Worrell, who is past seventy
years of age, has Alstott's record bea-
ten / / years. For SO years Mr.. Wor-
rell has plowed corn and this year,
while quite old and quite rich man,
he is still attending to the weed ex-
termination in a good sized field.

binary claim for damages will be
filed with the Iowa state legislature

Coffin for Ballot,

Hon. L. S. Coffin, philanthropist,
former president of the Iowa Anti
Saloon league and prohibition candi-
date for governor, has announced
that he is in favor of the secret bal
lot instead of the petition of con-
sent to determine the liquor ques-
ton in Iowa communities.
Mr.. Collins announcement was
made in the form of an open letter
to H. H. Sawyer, formerly of the An
ti-Saloon league and now connected
with the Constitutional Amendment
association. Mr.. Sawyer is one of
the temperance peoples chief sup
porters of the Shankland bill, pro-
viding that the ballot should sepa-
rate the petition.
K. S. Root, treasurer of the Des
Moines Casket Co., and vice presi-
dent of the Des Moines Citizens as
ISOLATION, which spent large sum of
money in futile effort to defeat the
last mulct petition circulated in the
capital city, also announces his pref
erence for the secret ballot. He says
Il am most heartily in favor of de-
Gliding the saloon question by the
Australian ballot instead of signed
petitions. | think ninety-five percent
of the voters would much prefer to
go quietly into booth and decide for
himself than to be subject to such
unfair methods as are practised in
petitions. A few men are in posi-
tons to state publicly their views,
others (by no means cowards) are
dependent on men and corporations
that make it imperative for them to
do their bidding or lose their posi-
tons. The ballot is. American and
ought to be used, and / hope our
next legislature will give it to us. -

Road Collects .Empties."

Fort Dodge, Iowa, July 29.-Ev-
cry empty car on the Illinois Central
is being called home" and collected
for use when the mammoth grain
movement commences. Superinten-
dent l.. A. Downs of this city declares
that the crops are the best in years
and that it will take every empty
box car the railroads can scrape up
to supply the demand.
Supt. Downs, who has been over
the division in his gasoline speeder,
says that ten days will see all OF the
oats out of danger and ready for
threshing and that the farmers are
now in the midst of their cutting
season. He has found no one thresh-
ing, however.

What is the existence Of mans life,
But open war or slumbered strife?
Where sickness to his senses presents
The combat of the elements,
Ana never feels perfect peace
tin death's cold hand signs his re-
lease.
ii is storm where the hot blood
OuCyies in rage the boiling hcod;
And each loud passion Of the mind
Us like furious gust Of wind,
Which beats the bark with many a
wave,
Till he casts anchor in the grave.
1t is a flower which buds and grows
And withers as the leaves disclose;
Whose spring and fall faint seasons
keep,
Like fits of working before sleep,
Then shrInks into that fatal mold
Where its first being was enrolled.
1t is dream-whose seeming truth
Is moralized in age and youth;
Where all the comforts he can share
AS wandering as his fancies are,
Till in a mist of dark decay,
The dreamer vanishes quite away.
1t is dial-which points out
The sunset as it moves about:
And shadows out in lines of night
The subtle stages of Times flight
Till all-obscuring earth hath laid
His body in perpetual shade.
1t is weary interlude-
Which doth short joys, long woes in
clude;
The world, the stage, the prologue
tears;
The acts, vain hopes and varied fears,
The scene shuts up with loss of
breath,
And leaves 10 epilogue but Death.

THE state insurance department re-
ceived over nine hundred thousand dol
lars the first three months of this year
from taxes and fees from fire, life and
accident insurance companies. This is
a large sum but it seems is an undis-
puted fact that the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company has been
charged to the tune Of $500, 900 in taxes
or around five times what would be a
fair rate. All of which the policy hold
ers must dig up. Certainly none of it,
or next to none, comes from the offic-
ers of the company. The query arises,
why was this great burden put upon
the policy holders? The only true an
swer must be that at the time it was
done it was considered popular with
the gallery to hit insurance companies,
regardless of the merits or fairness of
the attack.

NOTE this from the Topeka State
Journal Everybody in the common
wealth knows how it's expenses have
been piling up and piling up during the
last few years, or since the republican
insurgents have been sailing the ship of
state 1t is out of the question to Gre
ate state boards and commissions to in
vestigate this and regulate that with
out spending big bundles of money to
keep them in working order. And the
question arises: Of what does it profit
a taxpayer to have the railroads and
this and that utility and business activ-
ity regulated in such way that he will
save in the course of year dollar or
two in the aggregate on railroad rates
and another dollar or two in some other
direction, if his tax rate is increased
two and three hundred per cent, and
he has to pay out more in his increased
taxes than he has saved by the activi-
ties of state officials in reducing rail-
road and other rates? Governmental
activity that works out in this fashion
may be something of boon to the
people who don't pay taxes. And, of
course, it may be possible that the tax
payers have no rights in the premises
anyhow. This much is certain though:
| The politicians who rant around about
how they are saving the people money
by regulating this and that quasi-public
utility, and the trusts, are exceedingly
careful to cover up the fact that such
savings are likely to be more than
eaten up in increased taxes. That I'M
doubtedly is the case in Wisconsin. And
things seem to be going in that direc-
ton here in Kansas. Madison Demo
crat.

THAT the threatened exodus of man

THAT the threatened exodus of man
ufacturing and business interests
threatened by the drastic laws enacted
during the last few years in Wisconsin
has at last begun, is shown by the re-
moval of the Ringing Brothers Circus
from Baraboo to Bridgeport, Conn. Not
only will the circus be removed from
this state but several projects in which
the Ringlings are interested have been
stopped. This is but one of the many
of the concerns who are seriously con-
sidering the removal to states where
there are no such laws as the income
tax law and others which make manu-
featuring and the transaction of bust
ness in Wisconsin too costly for the
proprietors to enter into competition
with firms located in other states.

THE great problem of regulating and
controlling the operations of giant COM
bines and trusts cannot be worked out
properly or judiciously in the heat of
passion and prejudice. 1t is one OF the
vital questions of the age. Consolida-
lions of capital and energy will continue
to exist, but under such restrictions as
will protect the interests of the people
a whole, while not needlessly Gripping
legitimate corporate interests or i'm
pairing their normal success or useful
ness. This momentous question should
not be banded about in politics and be
made the tool of corporation batting
demagogues or apologists of unscrupu-
lous ''big interests. The best wisdom
and judgment of broad-minded, fair
dispositioned men is demanded to work
out this delicate problem, so closely in
terwoven with the material interests OF
the whole country. Lake Geneva Her.

WRITING in the Review of Reviews
in September, 1896, Theodore Roosevelt
had this to say: "The Chicago Bryan
convention attacked the supreme court.
Again this represents species Of alta
vism-that is, of recurrence to the
ways of thought OF remote barbarian
ancestors. Savages do not like an in
dependent and upright judiciary. They
want the Judge to decide their way,
and if he does not, they want to behead
him. The populists experience much
the same emotions when they realize
that the judiciary stands between them
and plumber" The application of this
statement to the ColonePs present po-
sitiOn is obvious.
