1t is probable that the Rock Island
and other roads will establish ticket
agency at this place and that Mr. B. H.
D'Huy will take charge of it. Such an
agency would be of great benefit to our
people, and we know of no one more
capable of taking charge of it than Mr..
D'Huy. He is a young man of business
ability and energy and will work !he
business for all it is worth. If several
of the great lines of road operating east
ward from. Kansas City establish a
ticket and coupon agency here, the
fact should be taken as a compliment
by our people, inaSmuch as it tells of
growth and increasing prominence. And
it may be the forerunner of another
line of road.

discussion in the House at Topeka last

provides a search and seizure clause.

made a superior oratorical effort in ia

beautiful peroration in opposition tc
the whole bill" The motion to strike
out this section was defeated by vote
of 63 against to % for, and the bill wa:

 VANISHED VISIONS. U.ines written at the death of Ernie Ceaveland.l Fresh from the hand of our Great Father Came little life one day, With face of baby sunshine, Driving sorrow far away. Hinged with brightness was the future, In that home, wheR Ernie came; Sorrows, sighs and lingering sickness, They were only known in name. But twas only fond delusion,
 Giving way to denser gloom, In that life disease had entered,
 As bghting frost in June. Tender hands in loving service,
 Gave him all that love could do, But disease is cold and heartess,
 Sparing not the good and true. Weary nights of stifed breathing heightened out through boyhood's years, Were his heritage of suffering
 And his baby-land of tears. On the very verge of manhood,
 With past more dark than bright, He looked cut upon the future
 With some promise yet of life. - All unseen there stands DeSlde nm,
 One whose presenceafills with dread: He, of old called 'sKing of terrors." He who dwels among the dead. Come nigh unto this bedside {For you and must die) And see what christian faith can do To dry the tear-dimmea eye. See patience show her perfect work
 In this our suffering one;
 See peace upon his features play As angels call him home.
 Sweet words of prayer for those he loved, That they might enter in
 To that safe fold where Jesus is Whose door shuts out all sin. Farewell, dear boy, from home on earth. E Glad welcome morn in heaven. By Grace we'll meet in Gods great home. Where crown for cross is given. E. M T.

Hartford Times: Holland and Stafford. the strong democratic towns of Holland county, voted s'no license'' last October by large majorities, which shows that the temperance men are not all on the repub- liean side of the house.
 And therein is the hope of temperance. When temperance becomes a political question the difficulty of enforcing tenn perance laws is increased. There is no reason why a democrat should be hostile to temperance.
