Heart to heart and always together
They'll wander on 90 the rivers brink.
o, beautiful. dangerous summer evening!
A gem in my heart and on Kansas breast
A peerless pear among memOry's jewels
outshining, outTanking all the rest
TO THE OLD SETTLERS GONE BEFORE.
Dear fr1ends. there are old settlers here
We may not see with mortal eyes,
Who. 20 reunite with as.
Have journeyed TO US from the skies.
And. though their voices may not fall
To-day upon our mortal ears,
They're speaking words, If we could hear.
Would quell our sorrows, shame our fears,
For they. as in those earlier times,
Are working with us hand and heart,
And though we may not cannot see.
Still, of our lives, form vital part
1 seem to see their faces now
From earthly care and sorroW free,
And catch the loving messages
They bring acToss tie shoreless sea.
Dear friends uns cen. but shielded still,
We yield to thee most loving thoughts
And strew the paths of unseen feet
With memory's sweet forget me-nots,
And let Us, friends. while still on earth
We hnger on with IA tering feet,
Look forward, toiling patiently
To that reunion. grandly sweet.

The truth . bout ne.

We understand a report is going around
the county that In case the court house is
removed, the present site will revert to
parties who decided the lots to the coun-

seen by the following statement from
Register Beck:
EMPoRIA, Kansas, Oct. 2nd, 1886.
Ed. REPUBLICAN,
l have examined the records in my
Office and fad that all the lots embraced
in the present court house site were

KANSAS Cry Journal: A young man
named Curtis was hanged by a select
party of neighbors near Fort worth, Tex,
the other night. He was requested to
marry young woman and he refused.
Thereupon he was hanged. Did the young
man die? Not much. He just waited
until the lynchels had departed, then
fished his knife from his trousers pocket
and cut himself down. Doubtless this
young Texan who was born and bred in
the state, had been there before. and knew
exactly what to do under the circum-
stances. Experience is a great teacher.

EVENING.


Boom the dull roar OF the evening gun
shook the camp, and the bugle chorus
sounded. As the last note died away with
the echoes OF the great 12-pounder, the
stars aud stripes ct headquarters sunk and
twilight crept on, broken by the glow of
the electric lamps and the .twInkiing light
of the campfire. Here and there through
the gathering shadows forms were
seen gliding TO and fro, "foraging'' fog
wood and water. Around the campfire sat
the boys telling OF the good old days OF the
war when We were marching through
Georgia" Now aud then the notes OF
some well-known army chorus would rise
on the evening breeze ana echo in the
thousands Of sturdy hearts that beat be-
meath the badge of honor.
The evening passed quickly to the boys
with their stories and songs, and soon the
bugles sounded put ont the lights"
But, unlike the times SO we'll remem-

Il CHICAGO TINES.

The will executed by Wilbur F.
Storey, late owner of the Chicago
Times, in February, 1881, has been de-
cided valid by Judge Rogers of the
circuit court Of Chicago. It leaves the
newspaper and the largest portion OF
the estate to his widow, Eureka C..
Storey land was contested by the blood
heirs, on three grounds: want OF testa-
mentary capacity, undue influence, and
that the instrument was not properly
witnessed. The court held that the
testator was of sound mind before and
after the will was drawn; that there
was no evidence of improper influence,
and that the will was legally attested.
The matter was heard on an appeal
from the probate court, and the heirs
have given notice of a further appeal.
During the progress OF the trial, the
following "GOsh" editorial from the
Times was read. 1t is understood to
have been the last ever written by Mr.
Storey, and has now become historic.
"The Times of Chicago, ILL.,, is a
larger newspaper in square inches,
and yet the Times OF Chicago, ILL.,, is
gong u ouiarSe us very
considerably. True, Chicago, ILL.,, is
not so large a city, in some respects, as
London, England, but in other re-
spects, it is larger, and is it violent to
suggest that in many respects, it will
lead as between the two, at no very
distant date?
"Chioago may begin to put on airs.
She has become a great city before she
knew 1t. Indeed, many people within
the city's borders do not to-day realize
its magnitude. Her people may look
upon her as a city of a million inhahi-
tants within q brief period. GOSH"

SUGAR AND RICE.
[From the St. Louis Republican,

FROM the st. LOUIS republican,
Prof. r. E. Thompson of the political
economy chair in the University of
Pennsylvania, in a lecture at Yale col
lege last week, attempted to demon
strate the extraordinary advantages
protection brings to the farming inter-
est. "Sugar-raising, for instance,
without the tariff, would be a losing
business" said he. "From the climate
of Louisiana, which is colder than the
West Indies, it is in need of protec-
ton" "Rice-growiug, too, is a diff
cult and costly business and can be
maintained only by protection"
The grain farmers of the west and
the cotton planters OF the south viii!
hear with surprise that the little Louisi-
ana sugar crop-one-eighth OF what
we use and the small South Carolina
andLouisiana rice crop,about one sixth
of what the country cOnsumes-are
representative of the mighty a%gricultu-
raj interest OF the United States. The
real farm products of the country are
grain, hay, cattle, cotton, dairy yield
and t~obacco-and all these, instead OF
being protected, are severely taxed for
the benefit of a handful of sugar and
rice planters, who, with all the advan-
tages of protection, do not raise as much
sugar and rice now as they did twenty.
five years ago. Our tariff does not
protect the American farmer-and this
Pennsylvania professor knows it. 1t
was never intended to benefit him.
Every system of favoritism must spend
its force on some class, and the proteo-
tive tariff devised solely for the manu-
lecturers and a few sugar and rice
planters, spends its force chiefly upon
the farming interest.

SILVER MEN CONFIDENT.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The long-looked.
for and extensively heralded statement
of the currency situation, which is the
result OF the collaboration of several
leading liberal statesmen, was publish
ed i'll the Times this morning, and
bears the signature of Earl Grey.
The paper favors the withdrawal of
sovereigns from circulation and the
issue i'm their stead of small notes.
Silver certificates OF large denomina-
lions should also be issued in exchange
for bullion, and these, as well as the
notes of smaller denominations, to be
q legal tender for all obligations, pub
lie and private. The publication of
this circular cOtempOraneously with
the silver enthusiasm in Manchester
and the evident disposition of Mr..
Mundella, the president of the local
government board, to officially consid-
er the subject of the currency, indl-
to a realization of the vital Importance
of the silver question.
Advices received from Berlin show
that the question of bimetallism in
Germany is receiving increased atten-
ton daily. The subject has derived
increased importance from the triumph
of the silver party over Herr Won
SchOlx the Prussian Minister of finance,
and the victory has inspired the bimet-
allists to renewed agitation. Every
thing tends toward the ultimate sue
cess Of the silver party, but all now
depends upon the action of Prince
Bismarck.

Intense Feeling at Paducah. KY,
Over che Tragic Eading.

Capt. Geary, chief of police of Padu-
cab, Ky, called at the four courts, St.
Louis, Saturday, and was received by
Chief of Police l%iarrigan. The
visitor stated that the feeling
against Riley Boyd, whose de-
baucheries had driven his wife to sui
eide in this city, was so intense that it
had taken the shape OF suspicion that
she htd not killed herself, but had been
murdered Theories were advanced
there to show that the woman was kill
ed. lie has felt from the first that
these theories were wrong, but in
order to allay excitement he consented
to come on here and investigate. Chief
Harrigan assured Capt. Geary that
the lady had committed suicide, ~reierr-
ed him to the coroner, where he looked
over the papers of the inquest, and
finally put Detective Lawler at his ser-
vice to examine the witnesses. III G
examination yesterday led to nothing,
and the Puducah chief went home
with the same idea ne brought here,
The papers, Chief Geary said, Were
full of the matter, and no voice is
raised on any hand to defend Boyd in
his treatment. The idea Of murder
was first started by the producing of ii
letter in which Boyd's mother declared

papers, only intensity the excitement,
and the friends of the unfortunate Mrs,
Boyd are still grieving over the lamen-
