Little q star ON the Rampage.
Mr.. EDlToR:-Nothing was more com
mon at the South than for certain class ol
waite men to keep negro bully to fight fol
them, when they became entangied in q
quarrel So little O. star is the champion
Of MI. kissell, an we leave it to decen;
people whether little (*) star hurts KisSell
or his opponent most. Mr.. kissell and his
anonymous champion are annoyed because
they cannot get ms name. The last ar.
tic'c Of little G. star showed for what PR
pose they wanted IN name II was not
to rindicatc Kissell, but to aftock .sX.''
But, with all their guessing they have been
unable to find out who s'X." is. Little "a
star, who, should think from his stvle
has either been pupi! Of kissei, or the
servant of some iish-woman, SAYS that "X. y
took gold ring from . wislo~ for writing
to Col. Sanders about her so,, and wears
watch obtained at game Of 'blnf.." Now,
have never written to Col Sanders in my
life; never played game of bluff :" never
made bet, gemblea, or bought lottery
ticket. SO little ~ star will have to guess
again.
But when is little (*) star to ''rcfutc" KS
charges? Is it true or not that
l. Rule 5th Of Laws Of Davenport School
hoard have established the price of tuition
of resident pupils!
9. That Kissell in February, 1864, com
planned that our schools were crowded with
nonresident pupils, and asked the Board to
enforce the rule!
8. That, in May, 1864, Kissell sent cir
cular throughout the State. inviting the
sending Of Pupils To nur Schools ffse Q,
charge, in violation Of the rule!
Why don't Mr.. Kissell's champions ere.
fute" what Kisscll in hisletter said he could
''reiutc' satisfactorily to the minds Of all
unbiased and unprejudiced citizens? Did
Mr.. kissell tell the truth when he said0 b

The Santiago Calamity and Its Lesson.

The burning Of the church of the Jesuits
at Santiago Chill, with all its attendant hor-
rors, is one of the most terrible tragedies
ever recorded. We cannot penetrate the
designs of wise Providence in permitting
sucn calamity; but we may profit by the
bite: lesson to the greater security of human
life in the future. Fortunately. we have no
occasion in this country to learn lesson of
warning against that priestly influence tha,
drew together thousands of inpressible fe-
males by deceptive mummeries and tnsel
glare and show. Nor have we ANYTHING to
fear from priestly selishness which looked
upon the preservation Of wooden images,
silver candlesticks AMI holy carpets as of
, m,re consequence than the saving of human
lives, and which shut the door of egress to
hundreds in order to save their wretched
gew-gaws and paraphernalia of superStitious
devotion. Nor are the municipal regulations
of our cities so defective that the agents of
I the Government, in their blind devotion to
red tape, actually interfere to prevent help
| from being given to perishing women and
chillren. But there is a lessen which we
draw from this calamity and that is to look
to the security of those near and dear to us,
who frequent our churches and places of
amusement. We believe that something has
been done in this city to promote security in
our licensed places of amusement But We
apprehend that many churches and other
public buildings, both here and elsewhere
would be as dangerous as the funeral pyre
at Santiago in case a sudden fire. With in
sufficient means of egress at the best and
doors opening inwardly and liable to be clos.
ed by the rush Of frightened crowd, there
are edifces in all our large cities and towns
in which tt.is fearful tragedy might be re-
peated with all It's horrors, even though tn e
sufferers were fewer in numbers. Let those
who erect public buildings, and city and town
authorities, heed the lesson. There are man,
who yet remembe: the shock which wa. piver
to the public mind by the burning of tht
Richmond theatre in 1911, when seventy-on,
persons were either sutfocated or burned to
death The lesson Of that calamity has beer
forgotten with the lapse of time. Shall ",
have to learn it anew by bitter exper ience il
our own country, or will the Santiago dsas
be accented as Providential warning p

THE DYING SOLDIER BOY.
By c. BOYNTON.

On the red Field of Blood lay Soldier Boy
Where the war cloud had burst with its hurricane
breath;
And we found him alone where the night winds
were signing,
As we searched for our comrades that s!umbered
in death
Child Of Columbia, oh why art thou here,
Dying alone with no soothing hand near:
Oh why should the eyes that were lighted by
thee
Weep for the loved one they never shall see ::
AS we gather around, the bright spirit immortal
Yet light, up his eye, but the angels are now
Awaiting him III re at the bright heavenly
portal,
And beauty supernal sits throned on his brow
Hlrk TO the accents so plantive and low:
They call me, dear mother; | go | CO.,
But the last words that dwelt Oh his lips
the cry,
Oh tell them at home that feared not to
die j."
Oh Columbia we weep. for our loved ones are
Even Chidhood's weak arm to thy rescue is
given:
Bat our hearts shall be stilled while our coun-
try is calling,
t"t the buds that we cherished shall blossom in
Heaven.
And here where the wild winds are moaning
around,
And the clouds weep their tears on the blood
sodden ground,
Lies the hope of some mother whose heart
will be rocked
With the long-boded message, Hell never
come back.
We bore him away where his comrades were
sleeping
Aa pint unconquered oh heart that was true
While the loved ones at home for their lost one
are weeping,
Wc.i shrine thy cold ashes and bid the adieu.
The war-cloud is passed, but the wrecks
Strewn around
Of all that was noble, shall hallow the
ground
And the hillocks we raise where the battle
Shall forever oe affairs for Libertys Sons.
