SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW.


Midnight can't last all the time
And so we ought to love it,
We learn that daylight is sublime
By just the absence of it.
And though the darkness seems all
wrong
And life is void and hollow,
There never was night SO long
But day was sure to follow.
Heart aches can't last all the time
And so we ought to love them.
They teach us that the more we smile
The less we're fearful of them
And smiling helps us bear our load
or mortal doubt and yearnfng,
AS hopefully we tread the road
Which seems to have no turning.
Winter can't last all the time,
And so we ought to love it:
For summers scorching, torrid cline
Is proof, and plenty of It,
And tho we suffer griefs untold
In truth we shouldn't mind it,
For winter can't be long and cold
With spring so close behind it.
Shadows can't last all the time,
The sun is sure to chase them.
Troubles vanish when a smile
Is ready to replace them.
The soul that darkness would destroy
The heart so plunged in sorrow,
Will best appreciate the JOY
That comes with each tomorrow.
Nal Rose, Oskaloosa.

RUSSIANS DEFEAT GERMANS

PETROGRAD, Sept. 22.-The Russians have de- feated the Germans in trench battle before DvinSk and for the present at least army in that quarter is safe from being entrapped. It was learned yesterday that the Teutons had withdrawn great forces of troops to the south for the coming drive against the Balkan states and troops took the offensive with the result that the German advance has not only been checked but the enemy has been driven with severe losses so saving the left of army of Riga. ItiS claimed by the military authorities that as result of this victory Riga and PeO grad are saved and the morale of the German armies has been seriously affected The enemys vgor today has de- creased perceptiby It is noticeable however that the official statement issued here silent about the operations around Wilma where the great danger evident yeSer day and the conclusion formed by many that our forces there are still in bad predcament although the news from the front shows that escape from the Teutonc trap is by no means impossible.

GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS AND COMPANY OFFICIALS

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-George Arnold, William Hull and Walter Steele, all officials of the Chicago and St. Joseph Steamship company, Capt. Harry Pederson, master of the East land, J. NJ. Erickson, engineer, and Charles Eckliffe and Robert Reid, government steamboat inspectors, were indicted today by the grand jury on the charge of manslaughter be- cause of the sinking of the steamer Eastland at dock in this city when hundred of lives were lost. The jury ignored the announcement that the government inspectors were outside it's jurisdiction and that the inspect ors should be made amenable as they were probably more to blame than the captain or officials or anyone else.

VILLA FLEES

CARRANZA CAPTURES CHIHU- AHUA AND WAR IS
 ABOUT OVER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Car- ranza has captured Chihuahua and marched in victoriously while Villa and his army are in full flight to the northward where he is expected to try to join the forces of Governor Maytorena who still adheres to the defeated chief. That the war is now virtually over is generally conceded as the forces still at the disposal of Villa are so small and so much coun- try is under the banner of Carranza that the former has hardly the slight lest opportunity of recuperating. The victory of Carranza is almost certain, according to the opinion of officials, to hasten his recognition as head of the provisional government of Mexico

BRITISH TAX MANY THINGS

He also proposes to abolish half penny postage and raise the price, Other proposals are to raise fifty per cent the duties coffee and tobacco one hundred per cent patent medicines and to place tax of two dollars quarter hundred on sugar.

RECOVER LEAD
 IN MOOSE PASS
ROMAN AND JAMES GET THE PAY AGAIN ON THE SHEEN
 STEVENSON GROUND.

Roman and James have picked up the lead again on the Skeen-Steven- son property in Moose Pass and it has been found to carry the same good values found on the surface. Messrs. Jack Roman and Bennett James took over the property after the discovery by Messrs Skeen and Stevenson and paid down cash, the amount of which has not been told. The new owners immediately began to sink and went to a depth Of twenty five feet where the lead faulted. They then drifted and on that level picked the lead up again and found it to be similar in value and otherwise to the lead as it was on top. Mr. Koran came in last evening and went back again this morning to the Pass where he is using the aTastre of John Gilpatrick to test the ore. About the first of the month he will bring the cleanup to SewardF The opinion of people who know that district now is that it's future is extraordinarily bright.

TELLS ABOUT
 THE NOME OIL
OIL DISCOVERY REPORTED BE- FORE IN GATEWAY DE-
 SCRIBED BY FINDER

SEATTLE, Sept. 22.-W. B. Van valin, the discoverer of the lake of oil near Wainright, north of Point Barrow, on the north coast of Alaska, has arrived here with samples of the oil discovered by him. The locality, he says, is four hundred and fifty miles from Wainright. The speci
 mems in the possession of the finder show that the oil is of high con,
 mercial value. It flows constantly from four springs into lake which 1t has formed at the foot of the hill and can be run by gravity to tide
 water which is nearby. For three months of the year ships can go right to the spot, Mir. Vanvalin declares. He is now on the way to California to interview oil men with view to raising money to develOpe the dis covery and believes that the result of the development will have a re- markedly beneficial effect on the future of Alaska. Vanvalin is a member of the United StateJ Bureau of Education and has a fine reputa' tion so that his story of the discovery is accepted and has caused tremend- ous interest. He refuses to tell the exact location of those springs and lake of oil and will give only the ap- proximate idea mentioned above. The papers here give the story of MT. Vanvalin and, although your cor respondent knows that the Gateway has published the story of the dis covery before, he believes that any details are worth repeating as the discovery promises to have an extra ordinary influence on Alaska's future

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-A most extraordinary occurrence took place here this morning when an entire city block above the Seventh avenue sub. way, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets caved in and fell through into the subway. Fol lowing that cave in another occurred south of Twenty Third street In the latter case a water main burst and for a time the people who had fallen with the street into the hole were threat ened with drowning. Just as the first cave in occurred a crowded street car came along and plunged into the i'm mense cavity with fall of thirty feet. The car was hattened into the shape of a mushroom and four people were killed outright, the remainder escaping miraeulously with only seri- ous injuries. The others killed are estimated at about half a dozen but only four have yet been positively ac- counted for. The street was crowded with pedestrians at the time of the occurrence and many of them were draun into the great hole from the sidewalks. Two hundred, at least

(Later)

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The num- Der of people more or less seriously injured by the cave-in over the sub way is about two hundred as nearly as can be learned by the newspaper reporters. Many of the injured are in such a serious condition that a fatal termination may come bu, others only suffer from broken limbs. The cavc-in had a similar effect on the houses to that of a violent earth quake followed by subsistence of the foundations.

excitement was at its height the second subsistence took place creating almost a panic in the neighborhood. Owing to the rather slow fall many of the people who found themselves at the bottom of the great hole were fully conscious when the water main burst and began to fill the cavity Then came heroic efforts on the part of the fremen and police and forum ateiy the grea: majority of the parti- ally entombed people were taken out alive.
