FILLED PURSE
IN RUBBISH C0NTA|NER
H. T. DIETRICH Has Purse Returned
by Stranger With Money in it
That Had Been Untouched.

The return of a filled purse, by a
strange man, this morning which he
did not know was lost, has thor
oughly convinced H. T. DIETRICH,
clerk at the Wilson Hotel, that all
honest men are not dead yet.
This morning a stranger entered
the Wilson Hotel and going to Mr..
DIETRICH handed him his purse and
inquired if he was the maj to whom
it belonged. AsNthe hotel man did
not know that he had lost the purse,
1t was quite a surprise to him, and
he looked through it, finding that
the man had not disturbed anything
including some bills that were in it.
When asked as to where the pocket
book had been found the man said
that he had picked it out Of a gar
bage can at the rear Of the j. w.
Schroeder store, where it was lying
in plain sight. 1t was probably lost
last evening on the streets ana
swept into the can by the street
sweeper. Mr.. DIETRICH, naturally,
was very thankful to the man, who
did not devulge his name nor accept
a reward for his service.

Keep an Eve on Allen.

Emmetsburg Democrat: Palo AL
to republicans think that Congress
man Woods should keep his eye on
Senator Joe Allen OF Pocahontas
county. Mr.. Allen is long-headed.
smooth and wealthy. Next to Sena-
tor Cummins, he is perhaps the
most representative and influential
progressive republican in Iowa. This
was clearly shown by the promin-
ence he attained in the state con-
vention at Cedar Rapids. The NOM
ination of Nels Lee of Emmett coun-
ty, the home of Mr.. Woods, is one
of Mr.. Aliens most successful plays.
He Is prepared to make other shrewd
move, and those who know his am
bition and his energy have every
reason to believe that he will, with
in a few years, retire Mr.. Woods to
private life. Mr.. Allen is usually
good-natured, but IL should be
borne in mind that he is large, keen,
quick and vigorous. Just watch him
hand a knockout blow when he is
given a favorable opportunity.

In Memory Of Mrs. Helena Olson.

In Memory Of Mrs. Helena Olson.
We have lost our darling Lena,
She has bid us all adieu,
She has gone to live in heaven,
And her form is lost to view.
Oh, that dear one, how we loved her
Oh, how hard to give her up,
But an angel came down for her
And removed her from olr flock.
Earth has lost it's look Of gladness
Heaven seems to us more bright
Since the spirit of our dear ones
Took their happy homeward fight
And we long to cross that river;
Long to rest upon that shore;
There to see, and know, and love
them
With the Savior, ever more.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart;
lis hard, so hard to speak the
words
We mus. forever part.
Oh, God! how mysterious and
How strange are thy ways,
To take from us our loved one
In the best of her days.
The vacant place; the empty chair,
We see them day by day;
And oh, it fills our hearts with care
Since u loved n went away.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Til we see thy heavenly face.

my crouch on noisy motor cycles
wantonly noisy ones
OF the thirty families occupying
main street fats, twenty-nine have
yet to be heard from; which looks
bad for future daily" literature; fol-
they will gradually awaken to the
fact that the offensive racket is not
necessary.
Many good people will endure
for the sake of community amiabil.
ity, annoyances that are necessary,
but find unnecessary offenses pecu.
liarly e~xasperating because they are
in wanton disregard Of the public
comfort.
A $4,000 car is a %weakling, COM
pared with the little motorcycle for
clatter: or else the owners thereof
are bred to consider the comfort OF
their fellow citizens. We have
reached now something of the char
acter of a metropolis, wherein nice
consideration for those with whom
duty associates us, is simply indis-
pensable to civilization.
/ don't opine that Des Moines can
be set down as a model city in all
respects; but l know Of a Des
Moines policeman grasping a motor
cyclist for and aft and shaking him
soundly, with the admonition that
he would be promptly arrested II
caught again making a disturbance
by leaving open the mufier of his
machine.

its of the capitol city, thereby en-
couraging her civility.

idual? Please reply in an early is

Thought He Would be a Hero.

Last evening just as P. w. Lee
was thinking strenuously Of going
to the upper regions Of his abode
and wrapping himself in the arms OF
the good king, Morpheus, he was
suddenly called back to earth by the
appearance of two good looking
young ladies, who told him with
fearful and trembling voices that
there was a man in their house
across the way. They were firm in
their convictions of this fact and
disappearing OF mankind in general
they of course were quite wrought
up to think that one would be SO
impudent as to call upon themes
pecially when he gained entrance
through the window rather than the
front door.
"Bill" was in for playing his part
beautifully, being quite pulled up
with the thought of such fair, young
damsels calling upon his manly
dignity to protect them in this
their time of dire distress.
But, 1t seemed, his congratula-
lions to himself were thought of all
too soon for. after a thorough re-
connoitre Of the house and surround
ing premises. not a sign OF a man
could be found. So the adventure
proved to be quite a disappointment
to all concerned.
