THE HoME-eouND HOST.

The sound Of host advancing,
Tramp! tramp! trampl
Under the windy flicker
And flare of the evening lamp,
Under the steady whiteness
OF the clear electric light,
The sound Of an army marching
Is in the eets to night.
Not TO the clamor Of bugles,
Nor the stormy beat of drums.
Not to the battles tocsin,
The jubilnnt army comes.
A sweeter music summons
And thrills along the line,
Though each for himself may hear il,
And make to the next no sign.
The patter Of tiny footballs
That run to an open door,
The mothers tender singing.
Her step on the nursery floor,
The boyish shout of welcome,
The girlish ripple of glee,
At the click in the guarded portal
OF the home-boun1 fathers key.
This is the army's music;
Cheerily calls good night
The merry voice of the comrade
As he passes out Of sight
Into the heart Of the household
When the days long work is done,
And wife and bairns are waiting
With a kiss for tho dearest one.
Under the windy flicker
And fare of the evening lamp
/ hear host advancing
With steady and resolute tramp
A host of tue strong aud gentle,
A throng Of the brave and true,
Dear little wives and mothers,
fastening home to you

A SAD SEQUEL.

Mary Bethune, Rendered. Insane by tas
 Loss of Her HusbtnL by the Explosion
 at the Fr rntenac (kss) Miaes. Cremates
 Herself and Chitdren in Their Cabin.
 PITTSBURGH, Kan, Nov. 13 As the cage cams uo from the fatal mine shaft at eieven o'clock Sunday morning, a shriek was heard and Marie Berthuae, wife of Louis Berthune, fell ssnseless as she recogniz d the mang1el remains oe her husband. Her swoon was of long duration and when sine recovered she had a daZsd look and refused to speak or notice any one. Her coastanL vacant stare showed that her reason had gone, but as she esilt:ed no disposition to be- come violent little attention was paid to her, and all day long she sat at her door regardless of t,e cries of her five chil- dren, the youngest babe five months old.
 Late Sunday evening she apparently aroused from her stupor and took her children to the improyised morgue. where lay the bo1y of her hus band. She led each child up to the gha5tly corpse. and still with that awful silence which had marked her from the beginning of her be- reayement, led them away to the little hut which had sheltered them in the past. No attention was paid to her by those who were busy with the dead and dying; bu; about midnight cry of fire from the vil- lage of Frontenac gathered crowd of workers from the mine to tue streets. It was seen that the E 3rthuae cabin was in flames, and willing hands were soon al work 10 save the inmates. The eldest child, a girl of nine years, succeeded in escaping from the flames which defoured the rest of the family, and her story was one that sent a thrill of horror through her hearers. She said that her mother sent each of the children to bed with kiss, and then sat down near the stove.
 The girl could not sleep, and lay watch iHg her mother, who. after sitting for some time, took the cln of coal oil and poured it over herself and the be lclothes of the children. The gri stricken woman then set fire to some paper and scattered it about tn. room, and soon the whole place was in flames. The daughter struggled a short time with her mother i'll an endeayor 10 get away. but the burning oil on her mothers clothes caused such intense heat that she soon relaxed her grasp. The girl finally managed to get out of the door, where she fell exhausted and frightsully burned. The cabin burned like finder. and soon nothing was left but he glowing embers, from which were raked the charred bodies of the in- sane mother and her four children.

RUINED BY CALL LOANS.
Treasurer Axwarthy's Fall and IIis Efforts
 to Make Restitution.

CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. 13 3-Mayor Bab- cock yesterday gave to the press letter received by hiM from Thomas Axworthy, the desaulting treasurer, written prior to the formers hasty departure for Mon- treal. where the mayor wa, unsuccessful in his attempt to secure an interview with him. The letter bears date October g, and ill It the writer says that his down. fall was caused by loaning on call, at the suggestion of prominent Cleveland parties, large sums of money on which he received the interest regularly; {; but, greatly to his surprise. when the princit al was deman ded it was not forth. comih1g, and investigation proved that the men, whom he supposed 10 be worth millions, could not have paid the loans within four months after they were made. There was a combination to ruin him, the writer says, and it succeeded admlr ably. MT. Axworthy then gives list of his entire belongings. estimated by him to be worth S319 00J, and au- thorizes the mayor to act as his attor- ney in the transfer of his property to the city to make good, as far as possible, the loss sustained. His wife, he says, will give quit calm to tho same for a nominal consideration. The list in cludes are pronounced by bankers to be worth less or of trifltng Value. Mayor Babcock will probably make another trip to Mon- treal in the hope of Of having personal interview with he defaulter.

COL. JONES A CANDIDATE.
Authoritative Announcement. He
Will Run for.Congress.

Will Run for..Congress.
Speculation has been rite for many
days past in regard to the possible
candidacy of Col. f. A. Jones for
congress from the 9th Congressional
District OH an Independent ticket. The
News is enabled to say this afternoon
that Col. Jones is such a candidate,
and will make the race as an Inde-
pendent against Hon. Roger Q. Mills.
Col. Jones has had the matter, which
has been pressed upon him by the op.
position in all parts Of the district,
under advisement for some days. The
pressure has been SO great that he
could not resist it, and he has decided
to enter the political arena, in de.
ference to demand from the opposi.
ton to Mills, demand slngularly
unanimous. If an Independent is to
run, as has been almost a foregone
conclusion for many months, Waco,
without regard to political sentiment,
must feel gratifed that the opposition
in the eight counties composing the
district have conferred on Waco man
for contest which would seem utter.
ly hopeless without a man Of extra.
ordinary strength to make the race.
1t is a compliment alike to the man
and to the city.
As to the nature ofhe contest it
may be said that the majority in ivora
of Mr.. Mills was over 1000 at the last
election when the fercest opposition
was arraigned for his defeat and as to
the possibility of overcoming that ma.
jority, there is field for full specula.
ton afforded the opposition. AS to
Col. Jones himself, he is a man Of
most eminent ability, and in character
sans peur ct sans lsproche, and will
crystalize the opposition to man.
