Warum sprecJien aie vicht deutsch XV rr in himmeYs nnhme lann das verstelten! Itibr icird deutsch ge-uprochen. Sam Woods, the notorious, in eulogizing the new party born at. Topeka, said: "My friends, the future is ourn. A little boy stood bv his mother's knee, His face was alight with chiWish glee In his dark brown eyes shone childhood's love, -That perfect trust of the angels above. Yes, he was his mother's pride and joy.

And then as she clasped her little boy To her heart, she asked, do you love me dear? And she quietly waits the answer to hear, lie smooths back her hair with a loving touch. And the mother whispers you love me how much And then from the rosebud lips there fell, I love you more than tongue can tell. Years pass the little boy is a youth, IrIus dark eyes still shines childhood's truth: A youth in years, though a child in heart. His lips ever ready kind words impart. The lane is beautiful on summer's night, All nature Is calm the moon shines bright; Two youthful lovers walk side by side, Tis the child of years and his chosen, bride.

He tells the old story always new, And the maid never doubting but that it is true Smiles as she asks do you love me well? And he answers more than tongue can tell. Youth time is sweet but it cannot last. And a bearded man is the child of the past Scarce resembling the boy of years gone by But for that honest mild dark eye. A happy family at eveningtide Is gathered around the home fireside A wee girl climbs upon papa's knee. Asks papa how much do you love me? The mother is spreading the cloth for tea, She smiles, ah! she knows what the ans'rwillbe E'en before comes the word she has learn'd so well, 2 I love you more than tongue can tell.

'Tis midnight's hour the lamp burns low In that chamber ot death where the friend3 wait to know That all is well with the aged man. That his faith is sure in the great "I am." He extends his hand for that last good by. And a near friend ask are yon ready to die? And do you trust in the dear Lord's grace? A beautiful smi overspread his face. Then from the dying lips there fell, 1 trust hiia more than tongue cau tell. Jessie.

m. For once does the Long Lland Inter Ocean step to tell the truth as it is. Note the following: "County attorney McCormick was in town Tuesday and Wednesday prosecuting the case of State ys. Kimble. hefore'Squire Adams.

A silver deluge is the cry of the farmers of Deer Creektown- ship. Let em they want to hear the silver dollar jingle, in' their pockets again. ill congress heed the cry? Pleasant weather again.

Many of the citezens met at the school house in district number 5 Jan uarv 31st. There was a full and free discussion with regard to our situation porue thought to receive aid that it would be deleterious to our welfare as it would retard immigration. Otbers thought as the word had gone abroad that we needed charity owing to the failure of crops it would be no harm to receive it as it represented our con-, dition. Mr. Trumbull was duly appointed aid receiver or aid recommend-er.

Upon the following argument the centralization of wealth which centralizes political power. In contradistinction the two old political parties ioes not oppose. The above argument stood firm as the adamantine rock unharmed by the negative. Friendly reader I wish jou to understand that tho affirmation argued this quastion with the following explanation placed upon it, that the two old political parties hrd out lived their usefulness in regard to the producer or laborar not in regard to the bondholder, the speculator and the millionaire. Republicans think, that the Mc- Kinley bill, based upon high protection, will kettle all difliculties and make flourishing times.

The democrats think that free trade will settle every thing and give us good times and so the war goe3 on and the people obtain no relief. The people's party think that the controhng of all organized capital by the government, in other words, the controling of all corporations, combines and trusts, preventing capitol from wrenching large and enormous profits from the producer or laborer preventing the centralization of wealth in the hands of a few persons; therefore preventing the centralization of political power, will alleviate the trouble and give ns better times and a happy and prospeious nation.

Fear naught. When Kansas that two years ad gave 82.000 republican ma jority, can beat her own John J. Ingalls beleive me the rest of the country can beat tho- devil." It does beat the excommunicated Lucifer, by dang Champion, The Editor of. the Lewis, Iowa, In dependent relates Ins experience for the benefit of the public, as follows: We have advertised a gret many dif ferent patent medicines, but have never taken thepainestoeditoriaUvpuff one We are going to do so now for the first time. Chamberhn Des Moines, Iowa, mauufacture a cough remeby, tvhich is absolutely the best thing we have evr seen.

We nave used it in our family for the past year, and cousid er it indispensable. Its effects are al most instantaneous, and there is no use talking, it is a dead shot on a cougnor a cold. don say this for pay, but because we consider Chamberlaine's Cough Remedy, the bet made, and we want the people to know it and use it." Fur sale by H. A. Harman Drug-cist.

Wolf Hunt: In due course of time the grand hunt set for yesterday came off. The sides were formed under their respective captains. Dr. Wallace not going left McNay in command of the south side. At least half a dezen of the critters in question were partially surrounded but as the west sido failed to get in an appearance an avenue of escape remained, of which all but two availed themselves.

One of the wolves being pretty hard pressed ran close by McNav and you can bet the old veteran made the t4f nr fly, but despite the four rifle balls that the ingenious Mac put through thi pesky wolf he never flinched until he fell into an old well out of which he was dragged by a rope. F. B. Cannon who took hold of it when landed was badly bitten in the little finger. There were about one hundred and twenty-five men at the hunt.

There will be another hunt over the same territory next Wednesday. As our news columns of next week will be pretty full, we want to sound a word of warning in regards to the promiscuous use of fire arms at these round ups, in order to save writing several obituaries. Would it not be well to 1 forbid boys, or easily excited men eve from carrying a gun at all? i.
