NO TEARS.

Des Moines Capitol: A number OF
Des Moines men undertook to invest
in big coal mine enterprise located
in British Honduras. A young man
came along with a document written
in Spanish and said he thought ii was
charter, and they thought II was
charter, and on these two thoughts
they invested. After investing, they
investigated. Among the list OF those
who poured out some of their money
there are time-tried and tire-tested
politicians, who in addition to under
standing the political game, have
been successful in business. Their
lives taught them to beware of the
man who comes into the office with a
dark portfolio under the skirt of his
coat Yet they poured out their mon
ey and then started a committee out
to find out whether or not they had
been swindled
A Des Moines man who will invest
in British Honduras or any other far
away country or island in anything
visible or invisible, deserves no tears.
He might have kept his money at
home If he had more than he knew
what to do with, he might have given
it to some college or other good in
stitution.
The success of the men who have
invisible things to sell almost con-
vinces man that it is folly TO under
take to make living by hard work
when there are so many other ways.

LITTLE GIRL IS HURT
Grace DOwney is Attacked by Vic
ious Drove of Hogs.

Little Grace Downey, the ten.year-
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. M. S.
DoWney, of Madison township, was
the victim of a horrible incident yes
terday when she was attacked by
drove of hogs and forced to fight
them off for several minutes before
rescued by her father.
The Downey family was visiting
for the day at the T. o. Stewart
home in White Oak township, and
the incident occurred just before they
started for home last evening.
The two little girls, Grace, aged 10,
and Jennie, aged Is, had gone over
into the field and were returning
through the lot where the hogs we're
when one of the animals suddenly at
tackled the little girl. The other sis
ter fought off the hog for a time,
but the others in the drove soon join
ed in the fight and the older girl ran
for help.
When Mr. Downey arrived the hogs
were rolling the little girl about in
the dirt while she did her best to
fight them off. A doctor was called
from Oskaloosa and dressed the
wounds, but was unable to tell wheth-
er the little tot had been bitten by
the hogs or not. Her face was bruis-
ed and the skin broken in several
places, but it might possible have
been done in rolling about on the
ground. 1t is not thought, however,
that any serious results will follow.

over other states that have exceeded

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The contest for the nominations
for the various Offices to be filled
this fall is now on in full swing, and
happily-so far as the Herald has
been advised-it is being conducted
in the best OF good feeling on the part
of the candidates. 1t is a laudable
ambition to aspire to office and even
the unsuccessful candidate gains by
the canvass. His acquaintance and
field of vision are broadened and he
learns the ups and downs of things
political as can be learned i'll no
other way.
The time and effort thus spent is
never lost unless, as sometimes hap
pens, the unsuccessful candidate be
comes sore with his friends and sour
ed with the world. In such an event
ii were better he stayed out of the
race and sawed wood in some other
line of endeayor. People like a game
loser as much as they do a success
full hero and the man who turns poll
tical defeat into good channels Of
ten wins a greater victory than the
man who gets the office.
With as large a field OF candidates
as are up for favors at the Primary
election TO be held on Monday, June
l, there must necessarily be many
disappointments. But no man or
party organization can determine or
dictate the will of the people, so the
unsuccessful candidate may as we'll
take his defeat philosOphically and
give tie glad hand to the opponent
who beats him to the goal.
But with it all, and over and above
il all, there should be no underhand
practices employed and no false
hoods used to further the interests OF
anyone. Let the campaign go on as
it has started In a friendly and de-
termined way, and when the votes
are counted, let all be friends-firmer
even than before the dye was cast OF
the ballots counted.

READS LIKE ROMANCE.

A romantic story is that which tells
of the efforts to found the Samuel
Huston College for the education OF
negroes at Austin, Texas. Just after
the war, the colored people of that
section, most OF them living in the
cotton bottoms along the BFaZos and
Colorado rivers, were anxious TO es
tablish a school for the education oil
their children.
For this purpose, they saYed up a
small sum of money from their mea
ger earnings. AT this early date an
honOred Iowa citizen, the late Mr.
Samuel Huston, of Marengo, Iowa,
gave a small farm to help them.
The stone basement of one building
was erected, money gave out and
this basement stood in the beating
rain for sixteen years. In 1898, the
building was enclosed, but was left
unfinished inside.
With $500 appropriated for salary,
X, s. Lovinggood and his wife were
sent TO open the school. Only four
rooms were completed.
Birds nestled in the Tafters and
pigs and goats slept in the basement
below. There was no kitchen, no
dining hall, no dishes, no furniture.
Without knowing the conditions, stu.
dents rushed In 10 board in the
building. Eighty-three were enrolled
the first day; of these Al came to
board. The students sat on trunks
while the president gave them a lee
ture and went out 10 beg chairs.

was a jug OF molasses and fourteen

Two Women Injured.

Des Moines, May 26.-Two women
had a miraculous escape from death
or serious injury at 2 o'clock this
morning when a west bound Valley
Junction owl" car jumped the track
at Seventh and Walnut streets and
collided with an iron pole on the side
walk Mary Dutton, a teacher in the
Irving school, suffered severe bruises
and Marcia Spur was less painfully
bruised in the accident. The two
women were standing on the north
east corner of the street intersection
when, without warning, the rear
trucks of the car left the track. The
rear end of the car swung around with
terrific force, SCATTERING the iron pole,
pieces of which struck the two women
and caused their injuries.

Store is Dynamited.

Des Moines, May ga grocery and
bake shop at 1901 Scott street, owned
by II. A. Ginsberg, was partially
wrecked early this morning by a dyn-
amite explosion. The bake shop in
the rear of the store, was a complete
wreck and the store itself was badly
damaged No clues have been OBJ
tanned though officers arrived on the
scene a few minutes after the report
was received. 1t is believed that the
.dynamiters were frightened away by
the noise their explosion made. De
tectives who hurried to the scene
could find no clue which would &C
count for the dynamiting of the place.
The building, one story frame struc-
ture owned by j. Fineberg, was used
exclusively for store purposes.
