Silence

Looking round on the noisy inanity
of the world, words with little mean
ing, actions with little worth, one
loves to reflect on the great Empire of
Silence. The nonle silent men scat
tered here and there each in his depart
ment !; silently thinking, silently work
ing, whom no morning newspaper
makes mention of They are the salt
of the earth. A country that has none
or few of these is in bad way. Like
forest which has no roots which
has all turned into leaves and boughs
which must soon wither and be no for
est. Woe for us if we had nothing
but what we can show, Or speak. ST
lence, that great Empire of Silence high
err than the stars; deeper than the
Kingdoms of death! 1t alone is great
all else is small. - Carlyle.

OMAHA, Aug. 1.-The Bender mystery is
finally settled beyond question by the par
tial confession of the woman arrested with
the man who was yesterday identified as old
Jonn Bender by HOLLAND an old Kansas
neighbor. The woman says Mrs. Bender
died in Choctaw Nation in 1876. That the
man arrested Is old John and that Kate and
John Bender Jr. are going by wagon east.
The party were to meet in Iowa when one
of them was to go to Kansas farm and dig
up seven hundred dollars buried there. She
will make full confession to save her own
life. 1t will remembered N4at the Bender
fled the country during search for state
senator York of Kansas in 1873 at which
time 10 or ~ bodies were found ON the
farm owned by old John Bender.
