SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN-ADVANCE “A PRAYER.” A friend of the Pioneer editor recently handed us the following “Prayer.” The identity of tbe author is unknown to us: “O powers that be, make me sufficient to my own -occasions. Teach me to know and to observe the rules of the game. Give me to mind my own business at all times, and to lose no good opportunity of holding my tongue. Let me never lack proper pride or a due sense of humor. Preserve, oh, preserve me from growing stodgy and unimagi- native. “Help me not to cry for the moon or over spilled milk; to manage my physical constitution aud my prac- tical affairs discreetly, never to dramatize my spirtual discomfort. Grant me neither to proffer nor wel- come cheap praise; to distinguish sharply between sentiment and senti- mentality, cleaving to the one aund despising the other. “Deliver me from emotional ex- cess. Deliver me from atrophy of the emotions. When it is appointed me to suffer, let me, so far as humanly be possible, take example from the well-bred beasts, and go away quietly to bear my suffering by myself. “Let me not dwell in the outer whirlwind of things and events; guide me rather to central calm and grant that I may abide therein. Give me nevertheless to be always a good comrade, and to view the pass- ing show with an eye constantly growing keener, charity broadening and deepening day by day. “Help me to win, if I may, but— and this, O Powers, especially—if I may not win always, make me at least a good loser. Vouchsafe me not to estrange the other me at my elbow; suffer not my primal light to wane; and grant that I may carry my cup, brimming, yet unspilled to the last.—Amen” There are those who consider it almost a crime for a paper to express an opinion, says the Little Falls Transcript. There are others who believe that because a paper does not view some question in the same light they do the editor must be either prejudiced or the tool of some interest. Editors sometimes—it may be rarely—actu- ally have opinions of their own and express them. Who has a better right? The man who makes the “ghost walk” on a country paper certainly has something to say about that paper’s opinion and believes that all individuals have the same right regarding their own views. COURT UPHOLDS IOWA LAW Mayor Henderson of Marengo Ousted for Intoxication. Des Moines, Aug. 28.—Judge Byron Preston of Oskaloosa has handed in an opinion ousting A. M. Henderson as mayor of Marengo and upholding the new Cossin law passed by the last legislature, which provides that offi- cials in Jowa may be removed from office for certain causes, one of which is Intoxication. Attorney General By- ers, who prosecuted the case, showed that Mayor Henderson had been seen Intoxicated. Henderson attacked thy statute as unconstitutional and on the ground that he had never been drunk on duty. Judge Preston sus- tains the Jaw in toto and rules that a mayor is always on duty. STRAIGHTEN RIVER CHANNEL Project to Reclaim Big Tract of Land in lowa. Mason City, Ta., Aug. 28.—A project to reclaim 32,000 acres of land in Palo Alto county is under consideration.

N IIIIIIEEEESS, HAKES RNINETY-FIVE WILES Latham Breaks Aeroplane Record for Distance. . Rheims, France, Aug. 2/—In his second attempt Hubert Latham, the French aviator, broke the world’s rec- ord for time and distance. He came down after he had covered about 153 kilometers, or 95.01 miles. The pre- vious record for distance was 83.07 miles, made by Paulhan. The breeze, when Latham got away was less than three meters a second, but there were ominous black clouds on the horizon and during the avi- ator’s fourth lap a sharp squall of wind and rain broke over the aero- drome. The spectators did not believe it possible for Latham to ride out the storm, but to their delight he only mounted the higher and took his ma- chine over the tribunes at a height of 300 fect. TALKS OF BABY'S DEATH Admiral Eaton Will Insist on Thor ough Investigation. Boston, Aug. 2 —“My wife and June, her daughter by her first hus band, accused me of attempting to poi- son them so wany times that the ac cusation after a while lost its weight and became merely a joke—aund then the joke hecame a tragedy,” declared Rear Admiral Baton, 7. 8. N., as he talked of the death of his little boy and of Lis wife's charges. The ad miral said simply and directly that he would insist that the examination of the bahy's stomach at the Harvard medical school be thorough and that the result be given the widest pub licity. FOR REBATE EVILS A B Stickney Would Adop Uniform Glassification. New Yorlk, Ang. 2 .—A. B. Stickney, long president of the Chicago Cireat Western, whose charge that the rail- roads still are granting rebates just as before *he passage of the Hephurn rate law is about to be investigated by the interstate commerce commis sion, outlined in an interview what he regards as the proper method to pur- sue to do away with the alleged abuses. The favorite way of granting re bates now, Mr. Stickney said. was to allow claims for overcharges for dam- ages presented by large shippers. Claims of this kind presented by large favored shippers, he said, were promptly paid by the railroads. Discrimination - in rates also was practiced, Mr. Stickney said, by put: ting obscure rates in the rate sched: ules. He instanced in this connec- tion the inclusion in the Western T0ads’ tariffs of ths rate on illuminat- ing oil and another much lower rate on ‘“products of petroleum.” The at- —— ot e e - fention of the favored Shippers, he said, was called to the lower rate. As a remedy for rebate evils Mr. Stickney suggested as the first essen- tial the simplification of rates and as means to this end the adoption of a uniform classification. GETS PATENT ON AIRSHIP Veteran Inventor Began Career by Creating Hoopskirt. ‘Washington, Aug. 2 .—From hoop- skirt, with bustle attachment, to alr- ship runs the story of the inventive genius of Captain J. F. Chase, Union army -veteran, now here from his home in Veteran City, Fla. He has just secured a patent on his airship and it makes the forty-seventh that the patent office has dealt out to him It was just after some of his Civil war wounds had healed that Captain Chase embarked upon his inventive career. A hoopskirt contribution to feminine fashions was the first mani- festation of his creative genius. Now Captain Chase pins his faith to the lighter than air type of ships. He expects to have one of his flyers com- pleted within a year, when he will try to sell it to the government. CHOLERA SHIP EN ROUTE Infected Vessel Sails From Rotterdam for United States. Washington, Aug. 28.—That the Dutch ship Andyk is cn the way to| the United States with cholera aboard is inferred from a cablegram from the American consul at Rotterdam, re- ceived by the marine hospital service. Surgeon General Wyman cabled for full information as to where the ves- sel has been, the number of passen- gers and crew and the sanitary pre- caution taken. The surgeon general then cabled As- sistant Surgeon Robert A. C. Wollen- burg, stationed at Naples, to go to Rotterdam immediately and see that the treasury department regulations are carried out.

MUST BE DONE BY DEMOCRATS Bryan “Says Tariff Reform by Its Friends Is Impossible. Lincoln, Neb., Aug..28. scribing the tarlff fight as a sham TBattle and declaring that in the struggle to come the principle of protection must be attacked W. J. Bryan says in this Wweek’s issue of his Commoner: “The time is passed for sham battles on the tariff question. The only vie- tory we have won on the tariff in re- cent years was the victory of 1892, when we attacked the principle of protection. No real fight can be made until a distinct line is drawn between the opposing forces. “The Democratic party must take the part of the whole people and chal- lenge the Republicans, standpatters and progressives alike to defend the protective principls. Tariff reform by the friends of the tariff is impossible; tariff reform by the enemies of high tariff.is not only reasonable but nec- essary. “Now for a real fight between the taxpayers and the taxeaters.” FALL 1,500 FEET IN SHAFT Fifteen Men Killed and -Thirty Im- prisoned by Accident. Mexico City, Aug. 2,—A dispatch from Mateahaula says that fifteen miners were killed and thirty impris- oned by the dropping of a cage into the La Paz mine there. ,The cable parted and the men dropped 1,500 feet. Rescue parties are working to reaci the lower levels. The accident was caused by a fail- vre of tre engine brakes to work. The cage was sent to the rafters of the shaft house and the strain snap- ped the cable. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deatness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is_entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to 1ts normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out’of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamied condition of the mucous surfaces. ‘We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrah) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
