pronounced as false the published statement
that the proposed conference was trap, and
proceeded to say it was proposition originat-

TOO LATE.

In dust Of roses IL an antique jar,
With rare sweet savers round :...i over it.
Of spicy odors Time can never mar
l find letter by woman writ.
No ghost can make me shudder as the sight
OF this poor missive all 50 long unseen,
Wherein read Of NIL my lost delight
And all the sweetness Of what might have been
woInan's face, woman's tender touch,
womans gentle voice and soft cares
Yourself my darling, whom loved so much,
Forever by my side to soothe and bless
All mine but for one poor unspoken pray'r
Ny faint lips might have uttered long ago
All lost land surely this is hard to bear
Because did not hope and could not know.
/ hold the crumpled sheet that tells it all
And, locking your gracious loving words,
One dead sweet hour my dreaming thoughts recall
Made glad by whispering leaves and song Of
birds.
And in green and shady woodland place
| see the Springs pale sunshine on your hair,
The matches marble beauty Of your face
Beyond all other women's, cold and fair.
Across dreary gulf of tears and pain
You come, radent vision of the past
And all unchanged unwithered still remain
Oh love, ms when looked upon you last
All had told you in that hour my sweet,
OF oil the true deep love you could not guess,
And poured my souls Wild passion at your feet,
| might have heard your soft and whispered
Yes"
But, fool and blind, ] did not dare to speak
10 tender glance OF word would fear allow
Because my love had made my heart so weak
wrote my pray'r, and read the answer-now
Now-and | waited. OH with what despair,
In that dead time of bitter loss and shame:
And while deemed my grief too hard to b,,.r,
You watched and wondered, and never came
Some Maynard chance some pitiful mistake
All, me- could sadder destiny appear .
Two lives were ruined and two hearts might
break
This letter lay among the roses here
Oh, cold and cruel irony of Fate,
That, having held most precious gifts unseen.
Then moeks us with the bitter words TOO late -
And hardest taunt of all 1T might have been. y

Commodore Davidson is irrepressible. The
minority stockholders having chung up'' the
Keokuk Northern line by getting 1t into the
hands of an assignee, Commodore Davidson,
with his brother P. s. Davidson and associates,
have organized new company to be known
as the est. Paul & st. Louis Packet compa-
n.y." The new company is incorporated under
the laws of Wisconsin, and differed as follows:
President-P. s. Davidson, La Crosse.
Secretary-Lafe Holmes, La Crosse.
Gen. Manager-W. F. Davidson, st. Louis.
General Superintendent-A. F. Hutchinson,
Keokuk.
Assistant Superintendent Sheather,
Clinton, Ia.
General Agent at st. Paul.. H. Reaney.
The new company has already seven boats
ready for service, as follows: Grand Pacific,
lying Eagle, White Eagle, Arkansas, Victory,
Maggie Reaney and Aleck Kendall.
They are negotiating for four other boats
and will be prepared TO conduct as vigorous a
river business as though there had been no
litigation with the judges RETAINED for the
other side" This is good news both for St.
Paul and all river points, as the importance OF
powerful river transportation company can
not be over estimated.

sent the court notice of their agreement, and
at $3.50 entered court, where the prisoner,
counsel, reporters and spectators being pres
ent, Edward Basset., foreman, under the usual
question by the court, returned the verdict
ttnot guilty." The court at once
made the order discharging the
prisoner, and after shaking hands
with his counsel, the jury and reporters and
others, John A. Riley walked out of court
free man.
The result naturally gives great satisfaction
to all those who have been declared consplra-

friends are of course much disappointed and
declare this trial to have been unfair. At .
