Notices of losies of stock free to brand adver tisers. A recent issue of the World- Herald cantained a cartoon of Sen ator Brown and referred to him as the orignal Humpty Dumpty. This is very apt , when his oval features are considered. And by the way , although Brown is chair man of the senate revenue commit tee he seems to be pretty much of a figurehead. Up to date he has not distinguished himself in any manner nor exhibited any marked degree of ability. He was made the instrument for the introduction of a number of bills written by other people , and is perhaps serv ing a good purpose in that way. lie doesn't compare with Repres entatives Douglas and Hanna , how ever , who have made their person ality felt in the shaping of meas ures before the legislature , New port Eagle. Geo. By lander , an old time newspaper man , ripe in experience but unfortunate enough to have owned a number of newspapers and some of them good ones that were good paying properties , has been cooking at the Valentine House for a couple of weeks but quit Monday to scjk other fields. This is the man wlio run a success ful democratic Swcedish newspa per in Brooklyn , N. Y. , in Red Oak , Iowa , in Denver , Colo. , and -several other towns in different states , but it was in Des Moines h that Geo. Bylander launched his h paper from the town of Red Oak , Iowa , where he iiad been quite suc a cessful , that was destined to be his iso last attempt , probably , in the news ish field. Numerous h paper opportun ities were rejected by him to mend a his fortunes and his plant was tak tlcl en ona $200 mortgage. Mr. Byland- clV er's ambition had died and though V he had been a powerful man , full 01W of eloquence both as a writer and W a speaker he dropped his pen with tlE the defeat which crushed his am tlCl bition at that time. He advocated ClO the reform doctrines in ' 96 and O with Bryan's defeat he lost all hope m of again building tip his business lifii which he sacrificed for the princi fiiV ples that were nearest his heart V and for which he had sacrificed his Ul time , his money and his vitality. d He left his wrecked business with mG a broken constitution and though G still faithful to the cause is a wand Sf erer from place to place. Mr. By- y lander still has hopes that the cause re of humanity will ultimately tri umph and though he never again hopes to own as properous a busi ness as he has lost , he is firm in the VI , belief that some time the people will the of Wm. see folly defeating . se Jennings Bryan for president of the United States. Whatever else ' fai might be said of this unfortunate Si newspaper man , he is faithful to his belief and does not waver. When thousands of dollars were of offered him to turn against the of cause he espoused , he could and did say no. Money would not buy pa > the opinions of Geo. Bylander and bu he remained faithful to his belief though it reduced him to a tramp we , turned him out of his office a poor vei man in finance a wanderer , be cause of his devotion to principle. but who can say that he was not a to hero ? act The following article from the Poi Stuart Ledger , given as a Sunday tha sermon , is of'considerable interest Soi and might fit the needs of other tru communities than that of Stuart clai equally well. The short-comings of people are portrayed and a gen tle reminder to many would-be devout persons , who are only sen sitive in the duties of others , is suggestive. The author is the lady editor , Miss Rosa Hudspeth , of Stuart. "Don't trouble your brain over fine hair splitting problems about appropriate literature for Sunday reading. Any book whose con tents will leave an influence for bad on the mind of the reader , will leave that influence there no matter whether it is read Sunday , Mon day or Saturdays. The first great duty is to get the mind right and the heart right. When that is done our energies will naturally employ themselves in weightier matters than discussing how much wrong there is in reading a newspaper or mailing an important letter on Sunday. Christ did not teach that it was right to pick corn on Sun day. On the contrary he showed his contempt of Phariseeism by picking corn in violation of the iron-clad Jewish law. By this act he showed us that God's law of justice and necessity is greater than the hair splitting creeds made by men. We have today , as of old , the pharisees in religion , who roll their eyes heavenward and thank God that they are not as mean as others , who fullfil every trivil let ter of the law , but who are dead to the great spiritual truths of the law ; who , for fear of violating the Sabbath , will not go out driving in God's pure air on Sunday , or buy a pound of meat for a sick man suffering across the way , or read a good book because its lesson is con veyed to the reader in the gauzy figment of fiction. A Christian of this type will strike some secret blow at an enemy , or repeat an evil story on another , or work against a rival church deceitfully , and at the same time rise to his feet with a sanctified countenance when the minister asks all those to stand who are at peace with God. They have not mastered the great spiritual truth that no one can be at peace with God whose heart is not full of love , tolerance and forgiveness for his fellow men. As long as enmity hatred and self-glorification lurks in the heart , that heart can not be at peace with God. The thing that is called peace is only the conceit of phariseeism. Analyize your heart , by this test , and see if you are ; really at peace with God. Is there one person toward whom you cherish feelings of hatred and re- - vcnge ? Are you envious of an other ? Does the sight of some one who has wronged you stir up thoughts of evil and vcnmmancc ? Do you tell idle tales to the des- credit of others ? Are you jealous or ] covetous of the good clothes , money or position of some friend ? you look into your heart and find there no malice , falsehood , re venge ( , deceit , hatred , spitework , imcharitableness or passion , then 3on't be afraid to stand up in a meeting. You are at peace with Grod , not alone because of a sudden spiritual illumination , but because < love and forgive God's child ren of men. " Stuart Ledger. ADDITIONAL LOCAL H.
