ACROSS THE PLAINS.

The plains were wide and vast and drear
The mountain peaks seemed cool and near
The sun hung low toward the west,
5 near" we sighed, care we to rest,
But ~journeying through the closing day,
Our feet are weary of the way;
Far, far before our aching sight
The plains lie in the waning light.
The mountain peaks that seemed 80 near,
And hold our rest forever there,
Are far across the desert lands
We vainly cry with lifted hands.
o hills, that stand against the sky,
Wo may not reach you ere we die;
Our hearts are broken with the pain,
For rest and peace we may not gain.
Upon the plains we faint and fall,
Our faces toward the mountain tall;
Our palms are clasped, but not to pray;
So die we with the dying day.

THE lEMAN-BRANO CASE.
Report of the Grand jury The Gov

Report of the Grand jury y-The Gov
ernor's Observation-Disclosures Found.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The United States grand
jury, in session in this city, has returned in
dictments against number of persons al
legged to have been concerned in the
Eighteenth ward fraud, but the names of the
indicted We're not made public They are
supposed, however, to include the judges and
clerks of election in that election dis
trict, and probably other persons sus-
pected of completely in the crime of substi-
tuting fraudulent and forgel ballots for true
ones. The jury has also made report to
Judge Blodgett of Its examination of the
ballots in which it confirms the reports
already telegraphed, and declares that the
evidences of fraud are conclusive. Twenty
three of the jurors signed the report, one
not being present when it was signed.
Several witnesses have been examined by
the grand jury in the past two days, but
what they testified to is not exactly known.
The talk is however, that s. W. Falls the
engraver of the head for the bogus
ticket testified to having made
tue cut Nov. 81, it being ordered by
j. S. Thompson, an employe of Hanscom &
CO., printers. Thompson is said to have de-
clared his belief that the cut was made for
j. c. Mackin, secretary of the county Demo
cratic committee, who, however, denies the
story The testimony SO far is to the effect
that Falls made the cut; the ticket was set
up by W II. Wright, of Hanscon
& Co., and printed by a boy
named Beers, an apprentice in the Office
S. b. Wright has appeared before the grand
jury The officials who are Investigating
the matter declare tley are close on the
| track of the men who did the work, and
| hope to have some of them in the peniten
tiary before long.

Twice Marrlhd.

Time and again have we commented
upon the sensationality of Peoria, and
now additional proofs of our assertions
are given us by the Freeport Daily BM-
letin, as follows:
Mr.. Albert H. BOies and his divorced
wife, Mrs. Alice j. Boies, nee Alice Carey,
were married at her home, No 161 Union
street, in the south part OF the city, last
Saturday evening at quarter past six
o'clock, the Rev. Joseph Wardle otficiat
ing. There was present as a witness the
Aide's younger sister. Mr. and Mrs Boies
were separated some two or three years
ago, as it seemed to them then that they
could not live together as man and wife
should. Now they have changed their
minds, as the second marriage VOW taken
indicates, and it is said they are really
happy to know that their future is not to
walk through the worl1 alone, but to
share each others love and dcOmpanionship
Mr.. Boies is prosperous coal dealer, of
Peoria, and is well able to provide for the
comfort of his wife and their two little
children. The intention first was to have
had the ceremony performed about mid,
might, Friday night. and the bride and
groom were to have left for Peoria on the
1:05 o'clock train that night, but this was
not done on account of the brides illness
They remained in Freeport until Sunday
night at LOS O'Clock when they left for
Peoria, which will be their future home
The wish of all friends here is that no
more domestic storms may arise to trouble
their happiness and that all may be calm
and smooth.

The Sabbath Day.

To the Editor OF The TIMES.
Some months ago a selection from
a Kansas paper appeared in THE
TIMES, headed, "Nuts for Prot est
ants to Crack" It was challenge
by a Catholic priest, and backed by
an offer of one hundred dollars for
the proof to the contrary, that the
institution of Sunday, or the first
day. Sabbath was purely an insti tu-
tion of the Catholic Church, and
without any authority in the scrip
lures. expected before this time
that some of the defenI-r- =. Us
popular institution wJuld have
'c2scy.ne to the rescue a.rI claimed the
800. Why is it that men claiming
the title of reverend, title, by the
way, which belongs to God only
men who stand in the sacred text,
as expounders of the scriptures, and
teach that Sunday sacredness is by
divine authority, that it is the bull
wark of our Christian liberty, that
God will punish for its dissertation,
&c.,-men that are Protestants, Pro-
test-ants against "Papal dogmas,'
and claims the Bible alone as the
rule of faith and practice. Why is
it that such standard-bearers will
allow their banner to be tramplsd in
the dust and not make an effort to
raise it. Such supineness on their
part can only be construed that they
dare not do it.
I am no Roman Catholic, nor
never was, but I will back the
priests offer with 500 more, for
any text in either the Old or
New Testament where either God,
Christ, or the Apostles commanded
or permitted-either by precept or
example-the substitution Of the
first day of the week as the Sabbath,
for the seventh day. I believe no
greater fraud was ever: practiced up
on mankind, than that which has
led thousands of honest souls to be-
lieve that the sabbath has been
changed from the seventh to the
first day Of the week by divine ap-
pointment.
The judgment alone will deter
mine how many of those who have
had the means and capability to
know the truth on this subject, and
yet have given their efforts and IN
tluence to perpetuate the deception.
God has provided means Of for
giveness for sins of ignorance. but
no provision is made for willful
transgression of his law, only by re.
pentance and restitution as far as
we are able. s
The coming religious agitation is
to center upon the question whether
the first day of the week or the sew
enth day of the week is the sabbath.
If the former is an innovation and
Of Satanic origin, all should know
it. "To the law and the testimony,
