MUSCATINE LAWYER
ALSO DIGS UP GOLD
Second Discovery of Precious
Ore on Island Near the
City Is Reported.

Muscatine, Iowa, July 2S.-Martin
w. Stapleton, SIC West Third street,
we'll known local attorney, has dis
covered what may develop into new
pocket OF gold on Muscatine island.
The attorney is reticent regarding his
find, but vouchsafes the belief that
the samples exhibited by him will
hardly run more than one or two dol
lars to ton, similar to that recently
discovered in a gravel pit under oper-
alton by the Boynton Construction
company.
Samples of the ore will in all prob
ability be dispatched to Washington,
d. c., to be assayed. According to
Stapleton he first noticed the ore sew
eral months ago, but paid no partic-
ular attention to it, as he was 10Th
to believe that gold had been found
! by him.
Since the announcement of the
gold discovery on the island several
weeks ago, a number of prospectors
have been engaged in the hunt for
( the ore.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The low shown Saturday over Sas-
katchewan has moved eastward to the
st. Lawrence valley. This disturb
ance and the low which remains over
the southern plateau states, together
with another decided barometric de-
preston which has appeared over
western Canada, have been attended
by scattered showers and thunder
storms in the Rocky mountain region,
the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys and the lake region. Occa-
sional showers are also reported from
the south Atlantic and gulf states.
The northwestern low has caused a
marked rise in temperature in the
Canadian northwest and the upper
Missouri valley. Generally fair and
continued warm weather is indicated
for this vicinity, except that local
thunderstorms will probably result

FOUND IT'S GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle of Marble Column In Italy
Read by Begear.

nGdO ny q Dc99dT'
Near the monastery of San Vito, in
Naples, stood marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frenchman about the beginning OF the
last century. On it were written in
French the following enigmatic words:
ION May / every year l have golden
head"
The inscription sorely puzzled the
inhabitants of Naples. On May l the
year after the erection of the column
a great crowd came to it in the hope
of finding the top covered with gold
pieces. Needless TO say. they went
home with their pockets as empty as
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
disappointed. At last the authorities
had the column taken down in the boz
lief that treasure would be found be-
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found. and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had a
mystic meaning, but no one was clever
enough to guess it. and for years the
riddle remained unsOlved.
Finally in 1871 n ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the in
scription. He stood looking at it for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution Of
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before be
tested the accuracy of his interpreta-
ton of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned in the inscrip-
ton Tosci. bearing a pick and shovel,
set out at daybreak for the column.
He arrived before any chance visitors
and as soon as the monastery's bells
tolled 8 he started digging in the
ground covered by the shadow of the
top OF the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel that
contained $4,000 francs. The inscrip
ton was true one-the head of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May /.
AnnibaIe Tosci. the beggar whose
sharp guess had given him compare
tive wealth, became a landowner neal
Mantua. He died at the age Of nine

word socialism suggests terror. They
do not know that there are many
phases of socialism,; they are unaware
that many doctrines advocated by
some branch of the socialists, are be-
ing put into operation year by year by
the different states of the union. 1t
does not take a mili-mannered theorist
nor syndicalist TO consent to the doc
trine that it is the duty of the state
to furnish some kind of education to
its children. An old-fashioned demo
Crat viii admit this. The future
building OF this republic must be along
the lines of efficiency and contentment.
This can be accom- plished only by
training men for their intended life
work.
ONE OF THREE WAYS.
"This training will be furnished in
one of three ways: Exclusively by the
state, and if successfully accomplish.
ed, we shall; have an additional argu-
men. for the belief that the state as
the common parent of Us all is like
wise the divinely appointed guardian
of US all; through the benefacticns OF
immensely wealthy men, and If so,
this will lend credence to the belief

ity is for the few; or this training
will be furnished by institutions ike
the one we this day dedicate.
THE socialism which manifests itself
| in works of love and helpfulness, such
as the Loyal Order Of Moose IS doing
here, can abide within a representative
! democracy. Right-minded men who
read the life of the Man of Galilee
agree that His teaching was socialis-
tic; but the socialism of the Nazarene
was one of spirit, not of society nor
of government. When it comes, 1t
will come on the wings of love, not in
the chariots of hate. Too many think
they are advocating the rights of men
when they are merely advertising their
real or pretended wrongs. The con
quests of politics are often waged not
for. equity, but for supremacy. 1t is
the changed heart, not the striped suit
which reforms the malefactor. Oul
discomfort Is not to be settled by stat
utory enactments The minds of mer
must be properly trained and theil
hearts must be genuinely touched by
the democratic spirit of the Nazarene
if happiness and contentment are tt
come to the American people.

PRESIDENT YUAN AS A MASTER
BUILDER

When the President OF the United
States wishes to appeal to the people
he Gala in the newspaper men and
they do the rest. President Yuan
Ekhih Kai does the same-and more.
He calmly sends a statement to the
press OF the United States and Cu'
rope and supplements that with a con-
ifdential and straightforward letter to
l%several hundred influential citizens OF
his own country in all parts OF the
land. In a recent confidential letter.
written in many instances TO perSoal
enemies and to luke.warm supporters
OF the republic. he takes up many del
icate points and handles them with
great daring. Even the thorny ques.
ton Of finance and foreign loans does
not brighten him, and in dealing with
it he has outlined to his reactionary
brethren a program which shows that
he is a master builder.
Yuan then goes on to say that the
moneys derived from foreign loans
will be used for the payment of back
debts, foreign and domestic, and for
the following additional purposes: 10
build and equip modern schools, col
leges and military academies: tor rail-
ways and roads in at least twelve
states; for the scientific and accurate
surve.5 of more than l35, 600, 900 acres
of public land; to move thousands Of
poor people from O~vercrOwdei centers
to fertile but unoccupied sections; to
dredge rivers and harbors; to open
coal and iron mines. work the salt
lakes and cut valuable hardwood; to
build asylums, hospitals and schools
in sixty-four cities; to drain and re
claim 10000 900 acres of public land
in eight states; to build adequate and
modern government buildings at Pc.

you, as a worthy and patriotic citi-

ciously communicate your reason for
