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

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 <he polls We believe the
judge has been misled, hut after
years of acquaintanceship with Mr.
Robertson and having the utmost
faith in his honesty and integrity as
a man, we have no doubt he is hon
estly mistaken, if mistaken he be.

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.
Goldsworthy has been known since
their residence with us by her
patience and kindness. The funeral
services were held in the Wiggle
Creek school house owing to the
quarantine regulations existing here,
Rev John Madely of this city con
ducting the services. Their many
friends join with us in extending
sympathy to the bereaved family.
Eliza Daddow was born in Perranz
zebalo county of Cornwall. England,
November -1st, 1848. She was the eld
est of a family of nine children, seven
boys and two girls; all survive her ex
cept one brother who died in 1893. At
Pontsbury, county of Selop, she was
taken to wife by John Goldsworthy.
To this union were born seven children
five girls and tw o boys, all living but
one son, John, who died at the age of
two years and five months
She came to America with her hus
band and baby girl in 1869 locating m
the lead and copper mining districts of
Wisconsin and Michigan where they
remained for three years and returned
across the Atlantic. In those days a
trip across the ses was not mad- in a
few days, hut in weeks according to the
weather. On this voyage there were
two children, both girls. 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.
At last she was called from ttiis
world of toil and strife to that home be
yond the skies and a hush.ml and a
host of relatives and friends will miss i
her here but feel that she has entered
Into the j<»y of h-r Lord who wdl say to
her "Well done good and faithful ser

SHATTERING OF A ROMANCE.
Girl's Answer Ended Love’s Young
and Rosy Dream.
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.

Get a doctor quick.

The Wind.
The wind went forth o'er land and sea.
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!
