SHE AND !.
BY JAMES BERRY BENsEL.

ala IL " oss :. is is dead; could not brook
ain on that marvellous face to lookv'
BUT they took my hand and led me in.
And left me with her OF my dearest kin;
And could not speak, and would not stir,
but stood, and with love gazed on her.
With love and rapture and strange surprise -
looked on the lips and the close shuteyes;
On the perfect rest and the calm content,
And the peace that were In her features blent,
And the thin white hands that had wrought so
much,
Now nerveless to kisses or fevered touch.
My beautiful dead who had left the strife,
The pain and the grleving that we call life;
Nor murmured when losses followed swift on
loss;
And the smile thatsweetened her face Away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
smoothed from her hair silver thread,
And wept, but could notmake her dead.
telt with feeling too deep for speech
She could tell me only what angels teach.
And down to her lips leaned my ear.
Lest there might be something should not h Ear.
Then out Of the silence between us stole
message from her to my inmost soul;
"Why weep you to-day, who have wept before
That the road was rough must journey DER?
Why weep you, whose tears have been used to
fall
That could not gather earth's sweetness all?
Why mourn that you come and greet you not,
Now anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold all my life have longed for rest,
Yea, even when held you against my breast.
And now that lie in breathless sleep
Instead OF rejoicing you sigh and weep.
My dearest, know that you would not break,
Ifyou could. my slumber and have me wake;
For through what is past can love and bless,
Till now have never known happiness"
50 dried my tears. and with noseless tread
left my mother, my beautiful dead.

to have her own likeness taken, and

It required long time for Miss
Stratton to consider in what style she
would have her portrait taken. Final
~ she decided upon full.length figure

her hands full of roses.
This would serve to display her
height and the dignity of her carriage,
and also allow of considerable pictur-
esqueness in her dress, with tho train
falling gracefully about her.
She gave the artist several sittings,
and being then assured that he could
complete the portrait with the assist
ance of d photograph left with him for
the purpose, she waited in pleased an
ticipation of the result.
On the day appointed by Mr.. Blender
Miss Stratton repaired to the studio,
and the completed portrait was unveiled
before her eyes.
She surveyed it for some moments in
silence.

At a meeting of the County Commits
sioners held yesterday it was decided to
notify Swan Brothers, of Hiawatha, Ks,
that their bid for sinking the a~rtesian well
was the lowest responsible bid received,
and to request the firm to send a repre-
sentative to this city for the purpose of
completing the arrangements for boring
the well, and to sign the contract. The
bid of Swan Bros, was to bore a well of
any size from 10 to 4 inches in diameter
for So a foot to a depth of 500 feet from
500 to 1000 feet the price was $3.50 a
foot. and from 1000 to 1850 feet 81 a
foot was asked. The bid did not include
the pipe. 1t is quite probable hat work
will be commenced on the well during the
next thirty DAYS. .I II IliiHI W

ROBBERY AT THE CLUB. :
Two Trunks Unlocked and Money and
Jewelry stolen

-
Mrs. Helen Dougherty an old lady who
works at the Cheyenne Club was robbed
the other day Of 5000 in cash. Mrs.
D~ougherty has been a chambermaid at
the club since September 1883. During
that time she has saved a considerable
portion of her wages and has kept the
money in her trunk. Together with two
other women servants she has slept in
a room in the basement, where her trunk
was also kept A few days ago her trunk
was unlocked by means of false keys and
her savings were stolen.
At the same time that Mrs. Dougher-
tvs trunk was opened a girl named Liz
zie, a laundress at the club house, lost
$50 in money and a gold watch and chain.
The jewelry and money were in the girls
trunk which was also opened by a skele-
ton key.
The robberies were reported to the
house committee of the club and a care
full investigation is being made. Thus far
no clue has been obtained to the robber
nor has any trace of the money been OBJ
tanned.
The manner in which it was accom-
plished would indicate that it was com
mitted by some one familiar with the
house, but it is possible that it was the
work of some adept and daring thief,
who effected an entrance into the base
ment and escaped without leaving any
trail other than that caused by the dis
coyery Of the robbery.
Mrs Dougherty is quite old and keenly
feels the loss of her savings. She has
worked at SWANS ranch and during her
service at the club has been a faithful ser
want. Strong efforts will be made to
capture the thiei.

A SMALL BLAZE.
The Electric Light Batteries Fire n
Wooden shed.

An alarm of fire was given about |
0 o'clock this morning. The fire proved TO
be in a small wooden structure at the rear
of the McDaniel's block. The building
consists of two sheds, built almost against
the walls of the block, and reached from
the alley. Upon the discovery of the
fire Officer Nolan knocked in the rear
door of P. Bergersen's gun store, as the
buildings almost touch the windows,
and awoke Mr.. Thayer, who sleeps 1t the
store. The removal of any goods was
unnecessary, however, for the blaze was
soon extinguished. The buildings are
used for the storage of batteries for incan-
descent electric lights and the fire was
started by their spontaneous ignition.
The various hose companies and the
hooks were on the spot and a stream was
turned on for n few moments. Some of
the spectators feared that water would
explode the batteries but it is hardly nee
essary To state that no explosion occurred.
The loss is insignificant
The agent for the Challenge Fire
Extinguisher was on hand by the time
the flames were streaming out between
the burning building and the store house.
He drew the cork Of one cylinder and re-
quested Officer Sullivan to apply it, and
the result was hat the flame was in
stantly e~xtipguished. 1t was apparent
beyond a doubt that these extinguishers
are an excellent thing and the city should
purchase a large number for the fire de-
partment.

Justice Fisher had but one offender
brought before him yesterday. A female
known to fortune and to fame as Belle
Clover, was charged the usual sun on her
running count. A credit entry on the
thumb hand side of the ledger indicated
that the fine was paid.

chronic %incorngable, was brought before
Justice Lee. Kelley was funded $40, and
will pass the Sabbath at the city jail,
Charles Miller was taxed $40 for being

find him at the city jail during abe coming
week.
Thomas Smith, another old chronic
was interviewed very, very briefly. The
Court said: acknowledgements

George Anderson was the name defiant

son boldly declared hat he never had
labored, and never would. He also fatty
refused to leave the city. He wa fined
$40 and sent to the county jail.
The case of George Stratton was called.
Stratton appeared with counsel, but
pleaded guilty to the charge of vagrancy.
He was fined 500 with fringe Of costs,
and the fine was suspended until to-day
upon his promise TO leave the city. STRAIT

Little Frank Huffschmidt, a boy only
ten years of age, wandered away from
home Friday morning. In company with
some other boys he left the city on a
ranch wagon. Upon arriving at the ranch
the people turned him away, for some in
explicable reason, and he wandered to
Archer station, where it was subsequently
learned he was staying. A messenger
was dispatched to Archer yesterday after
noon and returned later in the day with
the little boy, who is now safe at home.
