FOR The HERALD.
In June, the happy world is all aglow,
Rhe heart CLOVIS with II Thrilling, trembling 81
with all the dancing shadows, as they pass
Along the velvet greenness of the grass,
With all the shining leaves upon the trees,
That yield themselves TO every passing
breeze,
We scarce can still'its tumnlt. Joy divine
Flows In the young years aromatic wine
In June, 1t seems a rift within the blue
Lets acelestial radiance simmer through.
The light that fills the world is not OF earth,
But has in some diviner air its birth
The lucid splendor that o'erfovs the days
Makes even shadow seem but DINNER rays
Or sunshine. Such light has one heavenly
fount
With the transforming glory on the mount.
In June, the clover blossoms. white and red
And on the air its fragrant breath is shed
Subtle and sweet as memories from the past
Or hopes illusive which our hearts forecast
In June the rose lays all her beauty bare
To the SUMS gaze and In loves sweet despair
And passion, bushes, lan2uishes and dies
Wasting her glowing life IN pcrfumed signs
In June, the dandelions. like fallen stars.
Kindle the dusty Way and from sfar
We catch the stsadfast shining or behold
Their mimic considerations. pale and cold
Valley and me ad0w, rocky cliff and hill
Are all anre with color. in the still
Ana prayful woods, the smiling flowers
CLEAN,
Like vanished faces. from shadowy dream.
In June, the tender, heavenly blue bends low
In fond caress, while clouds drift to and fro
Like passing thoughts, which speaking in the
face
Enhance the outward, with the inward grace.
The sky. in the horizon, dim and STILL
Kisses the uptnrned face OF every hill,
And in the rosy colors Of the west,
Reveals the love that file her gracious breast.
In June. the heaven OF the soul draws near
And to the spirits vision there appear
Diyiner revelations. Zach bright dream
And hope and god-like aspiration seem
But faintest hint OF what one life may be
When from its earthly hindrances set free
Fair mountains OF the soul break on our sight
Be0koning us upward to their glorious
height.

of the first pioneers of this city, and a
genial gentleman, soldier and scholar,
with brain that has been able to PEN

of his acquintances. he came from
Minneapolis, Mimi, sixteen years ago
and predicted a great deal that has
come to pass, and much more that
looks as though il could not help 10
follow in the same path. | will try in
my poor way, to explain n small
part of the same. He claimed that
there Was chafice to got better, or
as good. water from power in Kerry.

his works begun to develop his theory.
He went up The Platte river sixteen
miles from Krrncy and tapped lilo

lighting their city with dynamo plant
situated mile away, and will also in
a few days, supply the power for a
steam mill and some other manufacture
ing establishments, that is being built.
They are now preparing to another
canal 80 feet wide and 10 feet deep,
cmptying into two or three large basins,
or hollows "a miles above the city.
This will furnish tho power to manu-
facture 100000 barrels of -four per
year, also furnish the power for any or
all the manufacturing establishments,
They have. already arranged for a
long coming factory and large pack

NEW YoRK, June IS, 1888 Now
that anecdotes of the presidential can
didates are in order, send you one that
is less trivial by. being timely. 1t is
moreover certain to be revived by some
one and the true story may as well be
told now. This is in relation 10 re-
ccption given by General Harrison at
his home in indianapolis Ia President
Hayes and party in October. 1879 The
prominent people oi Indianapolis were
invited and the hours WIRE meant to
be fixed SO that the formal reception
would not interfere with IN elaborate

guests EvcrAb 'ly went who had "a
card, and nobody thought Of grumbling

parlors to rouse expectation and curl
osity. These kept increasing in proper

inwardly saw her birds and pastries
Overdone. At length IN despair of The
reception guests going, While the host
remained with them, Mrs. Harrison
usherod the presidential party into the

loud sarcastic laugh. But the contre-

The School Meeting i.

Tuesday evening, July 5 the annual
school meeting was held in the chapel
of the school building. The attendance
Of gentlemen was unusually small and
only four ladies graced the occasion
with their presence. The treasurer,
DIR. A. Ii. Barber read the report of
last years expences and suggested
some improvements and repairs for the
building. The question of free text
books, WAS brought up, but after some
discussion was laid on the table.
some judicious changes IN tho cours
of study were talked over, aud it was
decided 10 change the text books in
Algebra aud Natural Philosophy, for
others more suited 10 the ages of The
children who would use them. The
present course of study seems to be
disapproved of by most of those who
take an interest in the school, 1t was
said that while this town pays out
more money than any other in the
county for its graded school, it has the
reputation of turning out the poorest
scholars. While tho teachers are known
to be doing faithful and conscientious
work, there is evidently Something rot
ten inDcnmark' FORT to use the words of
one of the speakers, The graduates
cannot hold candle To those of the
BoscobcI, DodgcviIlc. Bloomington, or
any other school in the county The
school has never been placed upon the
accredited list of those whose
graduates may enter the
State University without further
examination, and it is good luck, that en-
abled the holder of one Of our beautiful
diplomas, to enter the preparatory de-
par ment of the Platteville Normal
School This deplorable condition of
things was thoroughly discussed and it
was decided to take whatever steps
were necessary III order to make The Lam
easter schOols what they should be.

In for it Now.

In its anxiety TO oppose the choice of
the HERALD and. the choice of the
Republicans of the Northwest, for the
presidential nomination. the Teller
blundered into saying good word for
Gen. Harrison. It stated. however,
that he would not be nominated. He
iOaS nominated and now it looks as
though the Grant county press, with
the exception of the Platleville Demo-
crat. which in fairness and candor says
a good word for it) would be unani-
nous in support of the ticket. We
SHOULD earnestly hope such m light be
the case but for the recollection of the
fate that has attended those who have
been so unfortunate rs 10 receive the
support of the mugwump organ re-
ferred TO- In 1884 it supported Blaine
and Burr Jones Ga singular combination)
Both were defeated. while every can
didate that this paper opposed that
year-and every other year for that
matter-was elected. 1t is TO be hoped,
however, that the ticket will be suf-
ficiently strong TO carry the load, and
that the Republicans of Grant county
will cordially support it, although the
man of their first choice is not the
nominee. The HERALD is justly credit
ed with having first presented the name
of Judge Gresham to the people Of this
section as a presidential candidate
Through its influence a strong senti-
ment in his favor was engendered, and
had it been left to representative body
of Republicans from this county to
make the nomination, Judge Gresham
would be the candidate. But DELHI
erative body of S32 delegates from all
parts of the country decided upon
another worthy son of the Hoosier state,
and it will be our earnest endeavor TO
so present his claims for the suffrage
of the voters of this section, that they
will give the HERALD's second choice
warm support as they were pre-.
pared to give its first choice.

Marion Harlands Opinion Of Baking
Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien-
fists and Hygienists as to the relative
value of the various baking powders.
A careful sitting of the evidence leaves
no doubt as to the superiority of the
Royal Baking powder in purity, whole
someness and strength. from scientific
standpoint. An opinion. however. that
will weigh heavier than any other with
our practical house-kecpers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the best
known and most popular of American
writers upon matters pertaining to the
science of domestic economy, of house
keeping, and home cooking In re-
cent letter to the Philadelphia Ladies
Home journal, this writer says:
81 regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, so far as have any experience
in the use of such compounds Since
the introduction of it into my kitchen,
three years ago. have used no other
in making biscuits, cakes, ETC., and have
entirely discarded for such purposes the
home made combination of one-third
soda, two-thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect con
dtion when it came into my hands, and
the contents have given complete
satisfaction. 1t is an act of simple
justice. and also a pleasure to recon-.
mend it unqualitiedly to American
housewives. MARION HARLAND.
