It will be a hum mer, no doubt, and the Walt Mason fabric through and through. The Smoot investigation is devel oping the incontestable fact that the Mormons as a class wink at the law and go right along with their polyg amous relations. Gov. Mickey lias scored another victory. Last week he v.as allowed to name the delegation from his home county to the state conven tion. Sad news for ex-Oil Ilayes. Sutherland, editor of the Teka tnah Herald, wants to be state aud itor, but as he has to deal with Rose water and with ex-Speaker Sears of his own county, who undoubtedly have it in for him over the ex-Treas ure Stuefer imbroglio of two years since, wanting is probably as far as he will get. ■■ ■ Seventy five prominent Iowa dem ocrats met in Des Moines the other evening and launched a presidential boom for Gen. Miles. What about Gen. Weaver ar.d his Iowa boomlet for Willie Hearst? The Iowa dem ocrats should get together. There is hardly enough of them to make two factions in the state, even to be kept before the public eye with the most powerful microscope. Ex-Oil Inspector Hays recently distributed a circular purporting to contain damaging evidence against Gov. Mickey, connecting him with the Standard Oil monopoly, and threatening if Mickey were renom inated to defeat him at the polls. .This brought out a published state ment from the governor completely refuting the charges and showing that Hayes was slightly in arrears to the state when let out and was com pelled to cough up *124.80 which belonged to the state. Mr. Hayes should not shy dornicks while he re sides in so brittle a castle. The governor evidently only wore two ounce gloves when he handed Mr Hayes that solar plexis knock-out blow. Did you ever see a good f »t office hunting a man? Walt Mason thinks it would be a great joke on Dietrich if the inves tigation at Washington really proved to be an investigation Did you ever notice hew many more patriots there were in a party whose friends desired their candida cy for office, when said party was in the majority, than when it was in the minorty? The land commissioner’s office is a desired plum by several. Deputy Eaton was first in the race and had a big following before Manning of Wayne broke into the arena. Ed. Royse from the Rig Sixth is said to be in the fight, Jmt we have no sure authority for that, only rumor. It Io<'ks as though Eaton had the mor tal cinch on the job. In the Iowa legislature last week a bill was introduced giving veter ans ot the civil war or naval veter ans the preference in all public ser vice in the state of whatsoever kind. The bill passed the house but when it reached the senate the bill was laid over until another time as the opposition was too strong for its passage at the time. There was a hot debate over it. As the days go by remembaance of the boys who saved the country in’61-’65 is growing dimmer in the eyes of the hungrv office seekers. A. II. Keim of Richardson coun ty, who was secretary of the senate, wants to be the next state auditor. The principle reason assigned for his candidacy seems to be that “the position of auditor is the only one there is any possibility of securing for Richardson county,” and “if that is done Richardson county ‘will con tinue’ to be represented in the state house; if not, she will be left out in the cold.” Great Caeser! what a horrible nighthorse to disturb Rich ardsoD county dreams. To say nothing of their man’s qualifications, the quoted possibility alone of that county not continuing to be repre sented in the state house should arouse the people of the state to a pitch of madness and they should as one man rise in the power of their majesty and prevent such a contin gency. Perish the thought. Rich ardson left out in the cold! Never, Dicky, never, so long as the other eighty-nine counties are all so well cared for in the state house “out of the cold.” Never; wel1, hardly ever J. B. Dinsmore is out in a card stating lie had read the signs of the times wrong when he thought this a propitious time to make the race for governor. He has found that the cry against Mickey is not of a serious nature, and thinks the popu lar demand is for the second term of the present incumbent. Exit Dinsmore Iddings, also, gives it | out that lie is not after the governor ship. With these gentlemen out of the race, therre is yet Honorable William Henry Harrison after the job, but his little poomlet has all signs of premature decay, which promises by convention time to be so decomposed as to be unfit for presention to the great body of in telligent Republicans in state ses sion assembled The man .whom Mickey has most to fear is Judge liobertson of Norfolk, who we un derstand has finally decided to com pete for the prize, with the belief that Mickey’s nomination meaas his defeat at f the pedagogues. 1 here will lie ad dressess by notable speakers—such as Frank Roberson, the celebrated travel er and lecturer, and W. \\\ Stetson, state superintendent of Maine—besides a progr mi of good interest and instruc tion There will ne good music, open hospitality, adequate entertainment at hotels and in private borne* at a nomi nal charge, and the good people of the city will serve as a committee to see that every want ot the teachers is sup plied and every means served that will enhance the profit and pleasure ot the session. Aurora is easy of access by railroad and the roads are passable for walking in ease the school treasurer is short on funds. Everv teacher should plan to go and be entertained, instruct ed and edifiicd. Obituary-Mrs. John Goldsworthy The death angel entered the home of John Goldsworthy in this city last Monday evening at 8:15 o’clock and took the immortal spirit of the beloved wife and mother to its eter nal home. The deceased was 55 years, 3 months and 23 days old and had only been confined to her bed about two weeks although she has been a sufferer for years. M rs.

In 1885 they again crossed the briney deep, tins time < with six children, the oldest then a young lady of eighteen. They located in this count? where her father, mother and entire famil? lived. Here they re mained until Mr. Goldsworthy, being a life long miner, decided to try Ids luck in the Colorado gold fields and Mrs. G. and six children followed him in 1890. In l!HK) Mrs. O. was brought back to this place a physical wreck, the doctors thinking she could live no longer In so high an altitude. She soon became stronger and during the summer months enjoyed fairly good healtli hut in the winter suffered much.

For several minutes the young man did not speak. His heart was too full. It was enough for him to know that this glorious creature loved him; that she had promised to share his fate. With a new and delighted sense of ownership he feasted his eyes once more upon her Leatuy, and as he re alized that henceforth it would be his privilege to provide for her welfare and happiness, he could have almost wept with joy. His good fortune seemed incred.ble. Finally he whis pered, tenderly: “How did it ever happen, darling, that such a bright, shining angel as yourself fell in love with a dull, stupid fellow like me?” “Goodness knows!” she murmured, absently; ”1 must have a screw loos# somewhere.” Dressed Just as Well. The lawyers were swapping yarns the other day during a recess in the district court. A lawyer whose wife is marked for her good dressing told how he had come to be such a good provider. Soon after he was married his wife met a girlhood friend. The friend said to her that she wasn’t as well dressed as she used to he before marriage. "Oh, you are mistaken," said the wife. "I am wearing the same clothes I did then. Newspaper Work in Russia. Newspaper work in Russia is not pleasant. The government spends more money on its press censors than on Its schools, l.ast year eighty-three papers were suspended for various periods, and twenty-six were forbid den to accept all advertisements, while 259 editors were told they could have a short vacation in Siberia if they continued their methods of re vlving various public questions. -♦ » •»■-- -- Danger Signals.

Loud ami free; Foaming waves leant up to meet it; Stately pines bowed down to greet it; While the wailing sea And the forest's murmured sigli Joined tiie cry Of the wind that swept o'er land and sea. The wind that blew upon the sea . Fierce and free. Oast the hark upon the shore. Whence it sailed the night before Full of hope and glee; And the cry of pain and death Whs but a breath Through the wind that roared upon the sea. The wind was whispering on the lea Tenderly; But the white rose felt It pass, And the fragile stalks of grass Shook with fear to see All her trembling petals shed, As It fled So gently by the wind upon the lea. Blow, thou wind, upon the sea Fierce and free, And a gentler message send, Where frail flowers and grasses bend, On tiie sunny lea; For thy bidding still Is one. Be It done In tenderness or wrath, on land or sea! —Adelaide A. Proctor. 1 ■' " 1 w. 0. hover &eo.
