was dull, heavy pain in my chest. l kept
growing weaker. aud at last night sweats

no benefit from it. One day l happened
to read something about DR.. Piercs's Gold

it would help me. invested a dollar in a
bottle of it, and it helped me from the fist
dose. 1t helped and it cured me, and when
I compare my present good health with the
miserable health of two years ago think
am safe in saying my Investment was a
better one than yours. You can't reckon
health in any measure of dollars and cents;
if you conld should say that l had realized

wHLN BABY SOULS SAIL OUT.

When from our mortal vision
Grown men and women go
To strange seas elysian,
And know what spirits know.
think of them as tourists,
In some un-gilded cline.
'Mong happy sights and dear delights
We all shall find in time.
But when child goes yondsr,
And leaves its mother here,
Its little feet must wander,
It seems to me in fear.
What paths OF Eden beauty,
What scenes of peace and rest
Can bring content to babes that went.
Forth from mothers breast.
In palace gardens lonely,
A child asiray will moan,
And weep for pleasures only
Found in its humble home.
1t is not won by splendor
Nor bought by costly toys;
To hide from harm in mothers arm
Makes ell its sum of joys. y
It must be when the baby
Goes journeying off alone
Some angel (Mary, maybe)
Adopts 1t as her own.
Yet when a child is taken,
Whose mother stays below.
With weeping eyes through Paradise
seem to see 1t GO.
With harps of angels trying
To drive away its fear.

When baby souls sail out.

THE AUSTRALIAN MANNER OF VOTING.
What is known as the Australian system
of voting, system which has already been
adopted in some of the United States, and
which finds great favor in the eyes of a
large number of our citizens, becomes very
interesting abont election times, in COM
parison with the method in vogue among
us.
The Forum for October contains an
article by Edward Wakefield which gives
he following description of the manner of
balioting under the Australian plan -
The polling places, or booths, are pro-
vided with an open place for the election
officials and also with a screen. These
officials consist of the returning officer aud
his clerk and each party is also allowed
scrutinser, the scrutiueer being non
voter. No other persons are allowed in
the polling booths.
The returning officer has in his possess
sion the electoral roll on which are regis
tered the names and descriptions of all
qualified electors, arranged and numbered
from No. upward in alphabetical ORDER
He also has corresponding number of
ballots containing the names of all the
candidates without reference to party. At
the hour appointed, the polls are opened
and one by one the electors walk in. When
a man offers to vote, the returning officer
examines his roll to see that the eector is
qualified, and if so, then checks off his
name, writes the corresponding number on
the ballot and passes it to the elector. The
elecsor then goes behind the screen, and
II Il. Al
all candidates for whom be does not wish
to vote, leaving the names of his favorite
candidates as they are. He then deposits
his ballot in the box aud goes about his
business.
After the day is done, the polls are closed
and the ballots counted by the returning
officer and his clerk in the presence of the
scrutineers. All improper ballots are
thrown out and the legal ballots are then
sealed up and posts them to the clerk of
| Parliament.

Fierce Forest Fires.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 6.-Furious
forest fires are raging in northern
Michigan and northern Wisconsin,
and an immense amount of damage
has been done for miles, on three sides
of Duluth the fire RACES and many
country residences have been de-
stroyed. On the Hermanstown road
near Duluth, every dwelling for four
miles has been destroyed. 1t is feared
some lives have been lost, as in-com-
ing farmers report vast sea of fire
which is sweeping everything before
it. A high wind is blowing which
makes it impossible for any Roadway
to be made against it. 1t must simply
burn until there is nothing more for it
to consume. Several houses were
burned yesterday near Spirit Lake. A
large number of telegraph poles have
been burned and communication is
interfered with. In some places the
ties on the track were burned out,
making it dangerous to move trains.
South of Ashland for $50
miles the forests are ablaze. On
Fond-du-lac, in the Indian reserva-
Uloii, oNOI UAOJOUO "OIGll VI Shluueu
logs went up. Other losses aggrega-
ing $4,000 also occurred on the reser-
walton. Cumberland, Wisconsin, is
also wholly surrounded by fire
Losses aggregate $4,000. North of
Grantsburg, Wis.,, fire has swept the
country, destroying everything in it's
path. Along the Northern Pacific, in
the neighborhood of Cromwell and
Tamarack, the forests and whatever
else comes in the way are being burn
ed. 1t is hoped a heavy rain will
come soon, to put stop to further
spreading of the fire. Near Stinchley,
Mimi, Thomas Campbell and Ernest
Lowell were Lowell were surrounded
by fire, and finally their camp out
fit was burned about them. They
took refuge on half an acre Of plowed
ground, q but were terribly burned
and will die. Four yoke of cattle per-
ished.

BaffIed Boomers.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, May 6.-The
suffering of baff1ed boomers finds
most evidence along the northern
border. Yesterday one thousand
wagons were on the march down and
one hundred wagons on the way back
were counted. The groves in Arkan-
sas and Walnut river valleys that af-
forded camps for the boomers
before the descent, are filling
again with returning unfortunates.
There are hundreds of families
among them, who have sold every
thing to make the trip and now have
nothing left. The sight of men and
women and children who are thus I'M
provided for and desolate, with the
mere frames of horses surviving
to drag them along, is pitiful.
Guthrie still holds the majority
of population and is not yet
systematically located. Oklahoma
city is the most promising town site.
Captain Crouch, the old successor to
Boomer Payne, was Saturday elected
mayor, defeating q preacher, whose
platform was against whisky and
gambling. AS long as the latter is
excluded, as it is now, serious
trouble cannot occur in Oklahoma.

The Canadian Dispute.

New YORK, May 6.-The senate
committee, which is to investigate the
alleged ownership by Canadian cor
porations and capitalists of American
roads, reassembled this morning.
Maps of railroad lines through
out the country lay before
each of the members of the committee
and maps of railroad in the Dominion
of Canada were hung conspicuously
on the side of the room. The first wit
ness examined was Commissioner A.
Fink, chairman of the Trunk Line
association, which he explained
was an association of railroads to ar
range joint and competitive tariffs to
secure uniformity in charges and
classifications and to maintain estab-
lished tariffs.
