KNEE DEEP IN JUNE.
There's somethin? in the hazy, lazy, daisy
atmosphere
That makes a fellow mellow all the soul he
has to spare
In the scented, sweet, couteuted subtle
season, when the tunes
Of a million birds make music for a million,
trillion .Tunes!
You are dreaming in the gloaming—you are
blinded by the glow ,
Of the white light and the bright light,
where the splendid rivers flow;
Or in dells where bells of twilight ring their
requiem of rest.
You are drifting with the rose leaves to the
night's voluptuous breast!
Life is languor, with no anger of a storm to
strike and slay
The peace that makes the perfect and splen
did vista'd day;
Life is glory, and the story, told in Love's
melodious tunes.
Makes the world move to the music of a
million, trillion Junes!
—F. L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.
—Mrs. Frank Leslie tvas and is a
smart woman, but she married an Eng
lish sot and dude. She's got rid of him
by divorce, and the question now is,
who will be number four?
—llow sweetly silent the lowa demo
cratic press is on the silver question.
They know what the president thinks
on that matter, but what they think
about it is kept on the ice in the inner
cooler of their “think tanks"—those
who have 'em!
—The Des Moines Leader was kind
to the Republican boys of the press by
calling up those good old Democratic
days when a cow of the very good sort
sold for ?2. Those were the lovely days
of free trade—the era of things Henry
Watterson wants brought back p. d. q.
—Well, boys, didn't Madam Eulalia
have a grand old time in the land that
her distinguished ancestor national
looked up four hundred years ago, The
quality of American hospitality will
have a pleasant flavor with that beauti
ful, vivacious daughter ot that other
Spaniard who knew what a real, high
old time was in several ways. Adios,
senorita, adios!
—The census bureau has given out a
summary of a forthcoming bulletin
upon saloons as a factor upon sociology.
The figures show that in 257 cities there
are 15,316,107 people and 61,336 saloons,
an average of one saloon for every
sixty families. The range is from San
Francisco, with one saloon for every 103
persons, to Pittsburg, with one saloon
for every 2,460 jtersons. The licenses
on saloons vary from $lO to $2,825 per
year. There is one other fact that
could be stated here: Seventy-live per
cent of the convicts in the United
States get their start for the jieniten
tiary from these same places, and the
inmates of the houses of illfame are
there because of the fatal “jag.” It's
hell's best recruiting agent—the mod
em saloon is—ar.d the damnable
mother of an overwhelming sea of
misery. All for the money that is in
it —money that smells of blood and lost
souls.
—Down in Louisiana they have been
holding a state convention, and the re
frain of their tale of woe is the pro
posed war on sugar and rice by the tar
iff rippers. That state voted that sort
of ticket, backed it up with rape, torch
and shot gun in times past, and its howl
now is altogether out of order. Let's
go into that hand basket altogether,
and see what the doctrinaires will do for
us. Let’s have everything just as cheap
as we can get it, and bedamned to all
who may squeal about it. That's what
the country voted for,and was promised,
and now that the fiddlers are tuning up,
don’t get up a row and break up the
dance. If labor can’t lind anything to
do, in time, it can do as it did in 1857,
and before, line the rivers and canals,
and by lishing, try to get something for
the pan. Let's all buy where we can
buy cheapest. Of course lots of the boys
won't have anything to buy with, but
that is their misfortune and not that of
the doctrine. The Louisiana plan of
howling now is not in good taste or
time.
—Hon. .John A. Kasson, 71 years of
age, mentally very active yet, is at Des
Moines visiting friends. He was inter
viewed by a Register reporter and
among other things said: “I have noticed
that it has been said that these financial
disturbances come about once in twenty
years, but there is one explanation that
has not been given, but which seem to
me to be a good one. About once in
twenty years a new set of business men
come to the front; they are ambitious
and eager to make their fortunes, and
they undertake more than they can in
form. They contract obligations be
yond their ability to fulfill; they go too
much on credit, so that when they are
unable to borrow from one to another
they go dou n. The older business men,
who have been through all this before,
are not caught at such times as often
as younger men, except those who have
endorsed for others. The conservative
banks have been getting ready for this
for more than a year. Now the time
of settling up has come.”
—One of the lowa towns which seems
to have permanently developed into
solid growth U Cedar Rapids. For
years it was not a very promising infant.
Its intestinal arrangements seemed to
be out of order badly—wormy as it were.
Hut it has gotten all over the trouble,
and it is a town that all lowa can take
a pride in. An abundant prosperity
seems to till every avenue of trade. Man
ufactures are growing, money is plenty,
and the influx from the east and other
sections strong. It has a splendid elec
tric railway system, live papers, liberal
men, line women, handsome horses, and
an architectural collection of houses and
business blocks that do credit to best
taste and plenty of capital. It has very,
very many homes of small cost that are
the neatest and nicest appearing bunches
of happy looking homes—just as if some
architect had struck it about right.
They’ll count Hfty thousand people there
by 1900, including some mupwumps,
Doc. McClelland and l'ap Parvin, who
are saints, yet permitted to wander
around bobbing for bull-heads. The
Rapids folks are like an honest pair of
mules—they pul! together, and kick
only when they ought to. The railway
system is a daisy, with the Burlington
and Northern at the top of the “bokay.
In fact, the whole outfit is a credit to
lowa, its brains, enterprise and capital.

—Seventy per cent of the lowa prison
population is made up from the non

thieves, who make a raid from great
cities into the interior, to be nabbed.
And the “jag” is at the bottom of it all
for about the same percentage.
—The papers will be full of pretended
news about the penitentiary reports—
the Chicago papers leading. All people
had better await the pleasure of the ex
ecutive of lowa, with whom they have

rather than building up.
—The record of bank failures is made
up from such calamities all over the
country. The usual story is that they
could not realize on their securities,
and had to go under. But poor man
agement is at the bottom of the mis
chief, aided by the uncertainty of the
future, which causes the cash to be
hoarded.
—The lowa City Republican sends
out this statement of faith: “The At
lanta Constitution says: ‘ln 1880
we had 196 manufacturing establish
ments, and in 1891 we had 633, with
over $16,000,000 capital, employing 15,-
208 hands, turning out an annual pro
duct valued at $33,012,000.’ Yet the
McKinley tariff has been denounced
by the democratic papers as ‘a robber
tariff.’ During the presidential cam
paign a democratic speaker in the South
visited a manufacturing town, and by
the aid of the light from an open fur
nace door, read an article denunciatory
of the McKinley tariff. lie was inter
rupted by one of his listeners, who
said: ‘lf that is so, you had better
shut that furnace door and put out tne
iires.’ Nothing is more eloquent than
facts.”
—l’rof. Garner, of London, who went
out to Africa to study monkey lan
guage, says he has had extraordinary
success. “I am safe on the coast,” writes
Prof. Gamer, “the proud possessor of a
chimpanzee that can say, ‘Tenakoe
paketa,' which is Maer for ‘Good day,
stranger’; a gorilla that knows twenty
words of Fijian, and a female orang
outang that has picked up ‘donner und
blitzen, from my German valet, and has,
judging from her actions quite fallen
in love with him. I have also got writ
ten down, which is more important,
nearly 200 monkey words. The mon
key language is a very primitive lan
guage. There are, perhaps, not more
than twenty or thirty words in it that
I have not already got, so that my task
is now practically completed.” This is
getting close after the missing link.
The Dubuque Herald, foremost of
northern lowa Democratic papers, sum
marizes the results of the investigation
of the management of the Independence
insane asylum, in this clear and compre
hensive way:
“When this matter was lirst agitated
a month ago, a representative of this
paper was delegated to visit Independ
ence and ascertain the facts. This was
done, and they were laid before the pub
lic. The official investigation has sim
ply continued what was then ascer
tained. No new testimony of any mo
ment has been introduced. The charges,
none of them of a very serious charac
ter, have been given to the committee;
and the rebutting testimony of the
asylum authorities, constituting their
defense and explanation, has also been
laid before them. It seems from acare
ful perusal of the testimony that no
charges of a serious character have been
sustained. There have undoubtedly
been some irregularities and perhaps
some breaches of trust on the part of
the employes. Hut most of these oc
curred several years ago; none of them
were of a very serious nature; and such
only as would occur in a large number
of inmates and necessarily a corres
pondingly large number of attendants
and assistants, some of whom are un
doubtedly not as efficient and valuable
as they might be. Hut the testimony as
a whole shows that the officers exercise
cart and attention in the discharge of
their duties; and that there have been
only the minor lapses that necessarily
occur in a large institution, and none of
a very serious character. The testimo
ny before the investigating Committee
reflect* credit upon the management
rather than the ctmtrary, and the in
vestigation will be a benelit to the in
stitution in spreading the matter before
the public.”
INDEPENDENCE AS YL UM.
THE HERALD: OSKALOOSA. MAHASKA COUNTY. IOWA. THURSDAY. JUNE 22, 1893.
PENSION ACT JUNE, 1890.
Important Rulings by the Interior
Department on the Act of June,
1890.
A carefully prepared otlicial state
ment and syllabus of the new policy
of the present administration as to
pensions has been printed for the inte
rior department by the government
printing oflice. The case was that of
Charles T. Bennett, Thirteenth Indiana
volunteers, who demanded a pension
because of sunstroke at Raleigh in
June, 1865. In making its rulings in
this case the department carefully
made up the rules which it will apply
to the nension act of June, 1890. They
are as follows:
1. The basis of pensions under sec
tions 3692 and 4693 It. S., is disability
by reason of wound, injury or disease
contracted while in the service and.in
line of duty.
2. The basis of pension under sec
tion 2, act of June 27, 1890, is inca
pacity, due to any jiermanent mental
or physical disability not the result of
vicious habits, to such a degree as ren
ders claimant unable to earn a support
by manual labor.
3. Disabilities incurred while in the
service and in the line of duty, and in
capacity for earning a support befall
ing a claimant for pension after his
service had ceased, are placed by the
pension laws on an entirely different
footing.
4. Disability incurred during ser
vice and in line of duty is pensionable
without regard to capacity to earn a
support, and is rated under the provis
ions of the revised statutes without
reference to this condition.
5. Disability resulting from causes
other than of service origin are pen
sionable only under the provisions of
the second section of the act of June
27,1890, when incapacity to labor joins
with incapacity to earn a support, and
the grades of rating thereunder are
dependent upon these two conditions.
6. When by order No. 164 of the
commissioner of pensions. Oct. 15,1890,
it was declared that disabilities under
the act of June 27,1890, should be rated
as if of service origin, the very princi
ple which governed ratings under said
act was displaced, and a rule applicable
to a different law was substituted.
7. Neither the secretary of the inte
rior nor the commissioner of pensions
can, by order or practice, supersede an
act of congress. The power of the de
partment, so far as its orders and prac
tice are concerned, is limited to an exe
cution of the law; it ceases when an
effort is made to supersede the law.
The decision was prepared by Assist
ant Secretary Reynolds, was approved
by the secretary of the interior, and
submitted by him to the attorney gen
eral, who also approved it. The secre
tary of the interior then issued the fol
lowing order:
Department ok the Interior, )
Washington. D. C., May 27, 1893. \
To the Commissioner of Pensions:
Sin—Order No. 164, signed “Green B.
Kaum, commissioner of pensions,” and
approved. “Cyrus Bussey, assistant
secretary," of date Oct. 15,1890, is here
by revoked. You will prepare, for ap
proval of the secretary, new rules and
regulations covering the proof of the
right to pensions and rates of same in
accordance with the provisions of sec
tion second of the act of congress ap
proved June 27, 1890. Your attention
is directed to the fact that the dis
abilities which are pensionable under
this section must be of a permanent
character, incapacitating for the per
formance of manual labor to such a de
gree as produced inability to earn a
support. You w'ill observe, also, that
the rate of pensions is lixed at not less
than $6 nor more than sl2 per month,
proportioned to the degree of inability
to earn a support.
You will have an examination made
to determine w T hat pensions have here
tofore been allowed under Section 2 of
the act approved June 27,1890, in disre
gard to the terms of said act, and in
conflict with the ruling of this depart
ment, in the case of Charles T. Bennett,
this day transmitted to you.
Respectfully,
lloke Smith, Secretary.
This last paragraph means,if it means
anything, that the saving to be effected
by the pension bureau through Secre
tary Reynolds’ decision is not to be con
lined merely to future cases which may
arise, but is to extend to the examina
tion and overhauling of cases already
erroneously adjudicated. How many
such there may be now on the roll can
not be ascertained without their indi
vidual scrutiny; but when it is known
that there has been nearly a half million
applications, including both “original”
and “additional” cases under the second
section of the act of 1890, it will be seen
that there is a huge task ahead of the
commissioner of pensions.
The first question that suggests itself
is whether, as some pensioners claim, a
pension once granted vests in the guar
antee a right with which the secretary
of the interior must not interfere. This
was settled absolutely in the negative
by decisions rendered during the last
administration in the “rerating” cases
under Corporal Tanner. It was then
decided that a mistake, equally with a
fraud, may be corrected by executive
order.
The second question which suggests
itself is whether, when fraud or mistake
has been discovered, the government
has any right to recoup its losses. Here
again we have a decision of the last ad
ministration, based on an opinion by
Assistant Attorney General Shields, to
the effect that the government may
withhold on a pensioner who has been
rated too high until the amounts with
held shall make good the sum of the
over-payments already made.
A TAJ STY OPINION.
Mr. Crosby, our Washington corres
pondent, has this lusty opinion on the
Ford Theater disaster and matters in
general: “The old Ford Theater disaster
has been the absorbing topic of interest
during the past week and the entire
community has been stripped to its
depths. The spectacle of a hundred
dead and wounded men. all terribly
mangled and disligured being removed
from the wreck was well calculated to
excite the people to horror and indigna
tion.
It is the almost unanimous sentiment
of the community that while congress
is responsible primarily for the con
tinued use of the old building, that the
disastrous calamity is solely and di
rectly chargeable to the criminal dis
regard of human life displayed by Col.
Ainsworth in undermining the build
ing while his clerks were at work.
The general sentiment is that hang
ing is too good for Ainsworth and it is
not improbable that he may yet suffer
violence at the hands of the infuriated
friends of the dead. There has con
stantly existed since the disaster a wide
spread feeling that the law provided no
adequate remedy, and that the more
effective methods of J udge Lynch could
be invoked. That such sentiment exists
is proven by the demonstration against
Ainsworth on the lirst day of the in
quest and by the talk one hears in all
parts of the city. If a leader to this
sentiment appears there may be trouble
yet.
This is a law abiding community but
there has by long education come to
be a feeling among the people that
the machinery of the law will
not operate against any person of
rank and wealth or social standing. A
poor man, and especially a poor colored
man, charged with crime in this city, is
sure of a speedy trial and if found
guilty, which he usually is, of prompt
and full punishment. Hut if the ac
cused belong to the “four hundred” how
changed is the aspect, and the chances
are ninty-nine in one hundred, that out
raged justice is not justified and this is
what almost justifies mob law. This
community is now stirred to its depths
and we may succeed in securing a
speedy and thorough investigation, fol
lowed bv adequate punishment if the
responsibility be fixed; but I doubt it.
Probably we shall have a long and
tedious investigation, and much quib
bling among tne lawyers and that it
will all end fit talk. The only probable
results of the investigation will be that
after a while those clerks who are brave
enough to tell the truth on the witness
stand, will be discharged upon one pre
text and another, ana Con Ainsworth
continue bis sway as a petty tyrant over
the clerks under him as he has done here
tofore.”

An’ so vou kinder wan ter kdowir’y 1 broke
off with Sal?
It warn’t because she warn’t a good an’
mighty purty gal;
For there ain’t a blessed star in heaved
shines brighter than her eyes,
An’ her cheeks are jest like peaches on the
trees er Paradise!
An' her smile is like the sunshine split up
on a flower bed,
An’ her hair like sproutin' sunbeams on the
garding of her head,
An' her laff is like a singin’ brook that
bubbles as it passes
Thro’the stuck up tiger lilies an' the purty
smellin' grasses.
An’ I told her that I loved her much as forty
times a day,
But she hadn’t much time to bother, an’
kept on with her crowshay.
W’en I plumped right down afore her,
plump upon my very knees,
She said:“Git off my ricrac, an’your rump
lin’ up my frieze.”
An’ I tried to talk of love an’ things, an’
told her I would die
Unless she smiled upon my soot. She sim
ply said, “O my!
You’ve tore my purty tidy down, an’hain’t
ye got no eyes ?
You’ve planted them big feet o’ yourn on
them air tapestries!”
An’ she wove in big flamingoes, snipes, an’
turkeys on her rugs,
An’ she painted yuller poodles on her
mother’s ’lasses jugs,
An' she painted purple angels on majenta
colored plaques
An’ five orange colored cherubs, with blue
wings behind their backs.
An’ w’en I talked of love an’ stuff, she’d
talk of rugs an’ lace,
An’ ax me would I take my feet from off
thet chiny vase.
I’d say: “My heart’s love, O be mine, be
mine! be wholly mine!”
She’d say: “You’ve got your elbows mixed
in that silk skein er twine.”
Now I’m going to Arizony for to do a cow
boy’s work,
Driven forth from civilization by the cuss
er fancy work.
But her smile will alius ha'nt me, alius in
my visions play,
Framed in latest styles of ricrac, with a
background of crowshay.

What pen can write the history of the
Inner life? What hopes have thrilled, what
woes have chilled
A heart now cold and still. Long suffering—
Sorely tried—death was indeed thy friend!
And they who wailed at thy couch when
fell disease
Held thee in anguished thrall, are glad to
know
Thy pain-racked body is, at last, at rest;
And oh! so glad if thou hast died “on
with God.” No
Little children gathered at thy bier with
Rueful face and tear-wet eyes, to murmur
! Mid their choking sobs, “Mamma, fare-
well—but
Many friends let fall a tear of deep regret
That life, for thee, was fraught with bitter-
ness
They had no power to heal. Thy faults lie
Gently on thee; and may He, the man of
Sorrows who Himself has tasted grief,have,
In His loving kindness, called thee home.
Peace to my ashes, and God rest thy soul!

at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening', June 14,
1893, Mr. Ohbn John Mattison and Miss
Hattie J. Wright, both of Oskaloosa.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.
M. Baugh, of the Presbyterian church and
was witnessed by about forty relatives and
intimate friends. The home was beauti
fully decorated with smilax and cut flow
ers and the evening was passed under the
mellowing influences of sweet music by the
Fritz orchestra. After congratulations had
been freely extended to the happy young
couple an elaborate wedding supper was
partaken of, Messrs. Asher & Underwood
catering to the guests in their usual efficient
way. An hour of pleasant sociability fol
lowed, after which Mr. and Mrs. Mattison
retired to their cozy new home on Second
avenue east, where they are now at home
to their friends. The young people of the
wedding party followed the bride and
groom to their home, wnere a pleasant
‘ house warming” was enjoyed; and to add
to the pleasure came a beautiful serenade
by the Ideal Mandolin club. To this happy
union of hearts and fortunes of two of our
most popular young people The Herald
joins with their hosts of friends in bringing
its sincerest benediction. The groom is
engaged in partnership with his father in
the harness business and has entered upon
a career of industry and success. As a life
companion he has chosen a most lovely
lady, whose graces are too well known to
need commendation here. Both are grad
uates of O. H. S. and both are known by
their good works wherever they are found.
May long lives of happiness be theirs,filled
with all that is good and becoming the new
home so auspiciously formed.
BOVELLE—BIGGS.—Married, at the
home of the bride’s parents on A avenue

near friends of the young people witnessed
the ceremony that united their lives. Fol
lowing the congratulations and wishes for
happiness and prosperity an elegant wed
ding supper was served. During the ser
vices and the entire evening the Ideal Man
dolin orchestra discoursed charming music,
making the ceremony doubly beautiful.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Biggs and is a young woman of cul
ture and refinement. She has at various
times been employed in the stores and of
fices of the city. Her happy and cheerful
disposition has made her at once a favor
ite with her associates and a leader in
social circles. The groom is a young bus
iness man of Omaha,Neb., and is assistant
manager of the Omaha Loan and Trust
Company. He is a young man of the best
character and sound business ability. The
young people leave Monday for Omaha,
where a home is already prepared. The
best wishes of THE Herald go out to the
happy pair, and may life hold for them
much of joy and happiuess.
