SHE WANTED POWER.
A Fairy Story Which Winds up with a
Great Truth.

/ Lincoln Journal.
| Once upon a time there lived beau
tiful princess, whose wealth was I'M
! bounded. Scores of slaves waited tn
obey her slightest behest, mobiles bow
ed before her, and a beautiful realm
was her own. Still she was not hap
ply. She longed for more power, and
that longing was Unsuitable. She had
magic ring, by pressing upon which
she could summon to her all the pow
erful gent who inhabited the air and
the caves under the earth, but might
use it only three times. After the
third time it would lose its magic. So
one night she pressed upon the ring,
and Immediately a gent was before
her, crying
go, illustrious and beautiful prin-
cess, whose breath is as incense, and
whose voice is like the song of the
bul- bull, what wouldst thou 7"
Then said the princess: 81 would
have more power. Send me armies,
that may conquer all the countries
contiguous to mine, and my heart will
be glad as the morning"
When the princess awOke next day,
behold, legions of soldiers in gorgeous
array were before her palace, waiting
for her bidding. So she sent them in
to the lands she coveted, and they
were hers. The armies returned with
captive trains of princes and mobiles,
and for time she was happy. But
one of these captive princes, Eli Has
san by name, refused to bow before
her. He was as beautiful as a sun god.
In vain she threatened him and tor
i,i Hn
Though thou be us beautiful as ST.
LOANS lily, though thy grace be as the
movement of the rill, still shall | scOrn
thee"
Then she woOed him and begged
him to marry her, but he was Obdu
rate. infatuated with him, she again
pressed the ring, and called the gem.
81 would have power, she said, "tO
win the love of the Prince Hassan."
at is WELL" replied the geni, "but
you can only call me once again by the
ring"
When the princess again saw Has
san, he greeted her rapturously, and
she knew that she had won him. They
were married, and for a long time the
princess was happy, but finally the old
craving came over her. Hesitatingly
she summoned the gent for the last
time.
81 must have more power. l must
be where l may dictate in all things,
and be feared as we'll as obeyed."
"Step on that mat" said the geni.
She did so, and was transported to a
strange country.
"This," said the geni, sis America,
and have secured for you position
as a servant girl"
And the old longing for more power
never came over the princess again.

ROBBERS AT WORK.
Robbers entered the offices Of the Clyde

No other things we're taken, although there
was evidences that the robbers had tempered

The Louisville and Nashville Office was also
entered, but what the thieves got there is
not known.

THE RACE FOR CONGRESS.
Now that the state nominations are over,
the congressional question comes up with
renewed force. Tho friends of j. L.

contest, even if Duval county did secure

harder to secure the nomination from the
second district for their favorite. South
Florida, however, clearly won a victory in
securing tho district convention, and they

ELEVEN PERISH BY FIRE.
Only Two People Escape From q
Hotel in Texas.

RoCKDALE, TEX, June 4.-This morning
at a few minutes before 4 o'clock the Nun
dine hotel, three-story brick building, was
found TO be ON fire, and, according to those
who were first on the ground, it was all on
fire at once. Inside were thirteen souls,
only two of whom escaped alive.
Dr. w. A. Brooks the proprietor, was
pulled out of the burning building with his
hair and beard singed OFF and otherwise
badly burned, leaving behind him his wife
and four children, who persisted.
Pemberton Pierce, representing the firm
of George II. Zeigler of Philadelphia,
jumped from the burning building aud was
killed.
d. M. Oldham of Dallas, representing the
firm of f. Cannon q Go. Of Galveston,
escaped badly singed.
MYSTERY.
The mystery about the thing is that so
many should have persisted, when none
were higher up than the second story, and
there were galleries and exits on both sides
of tho building occupied by the sleepers.
No one was heard to call or scream, all
dying without a cry for help. though
great crowd quickly gatheret and ex-
hausted every effort TO afford a rescue.
The remains of several have been recov-
cred from the ruins, but they are unrecog-
nizable.
PAIL OF SORROW.
A great pail rests over Rockdale, and
every business place is closed.
Mr.. Pierce is the only victim not resi-
dent of Rockdale.
The Mundiue house was valued at SIS, 900,
and was insured for $500.
T. 3. Kemp, whose store occupied part of
the buildinr, was completely burned out.
His loss is 5000, and his insurance is $4,000.
Joseph Rowland'S building was crushed
10y the falling walls of the hotel, but his
stock was saved, though badly damaged.
He is fully insured.
A LEAP FOR LIFE.
d. NJ. Oldham, one of the survivors, who
occupied an extreme southeast room in the
second story, says that almost Immediately
after reaching the ground he saw man,
supposed to be Pemberton Pierce, rush out
on the veranda, all in flames, and leap TO
the ground, striking on his head and being
instantly killed.
Those known TO have been lost are:
Mrs. W. A. BROOKS wife Of the proprie-
tor Of the hotel, and her four sons, aged 4,
q, 9 and Is years respectively.
j. +. BRIscoE, wife aud two little chill
dren.
ISAAC Crown.
A travelling salesman, supposed, from
papers found, to be PEMBERToN PIERCE,
representing the house of George Zeigler Of
Philadelphia, is also among the dead.
