THE MORNING SOW THY SEEr

When the talmy morning breeze
Softly moves the budding trees.
And the genia! sun OF spring
Doth the living verdurc bring:
When the gently falling showers
Wake 10 life the wildwood flowers;
When the robin and the wren
Come with cheerful songs again,
AND each living, breathing Thing
Joyous halls returning spring
In the morning SOW thy seed
Waiting for the harvest's NEED
Gentle spring shall yield her reign;
Summers promise clothe the plain;
Warbling bird and busy bee
Hush their cheerful minstrelsy:
Ripening fruit succeed the flowers,
Nourished Oft by summer showers;
Earth yield up her bounieous store
When the summer days are Ger
Autumn winds with chilling power
Curl the % az and fade the Hover
Hast thou sown in morning prime,
Thou shalt reap ia evening time.
Loving mother on whose breast
Helpless infancy fi.tts rest
Canst thou read its wondering thought
In il, infant being wrought:
Every hour that passes by
Gives its lesson silently:
In thy hand This being lies,
Thine to mold its destInies:

Guard il with a mothers prayer
Sow thy seed in morning bright,

THE MODERN BRAKEMAN.


kalfOau
In no one particular has the remark
able advancement in railroad manage
ment during the past twenty years
been so marked a in the development
of details affecting the department and
dress OF employees. Take the passen-
ger brakeman of to-day as compared
with the brakeman of two score years
ago as an instance
The modern passenger brakeman Is
not an evolution. but "A new creation.
He is an object of admiration. while
his predecessor of quarter OF century
since was an object of wonder and awe.
The latter was, usually, collariess,
uncouth individual more or less given
TO plug tobacco and profanity. The
badge of his authority was red hand
kerchief tied loosely around his throat.
Primarily. his occupation was. upon
given signal. to fling himself in fan
tastic gyrations around the iron brake
| wheel, and his contOrtions upon the
| front platform in the discharge OF his
duty were at once the wonder and adj
miratiOn of the station lOungerS OF
that period. He was usually dlstln-
| guished by a tight-fitting cap with .
peaked visor His hands were big and
coarse and calloused. There were in.
variably grimy circles around his eyes.
| When he called out the name OF q
station to the occupants OF the front
car the people in the rear end OF the
train could hear his voice, but the
nearest passenger could not tell what
| he said. When he assisted lady to
alight he helped her down from the
| high steps as though she were so much
baled hay. His regard for baskets
containing eggs or crockery amounted
to absolute contempt. His business
was to help run the train.
The passenger brakeman of the pres
ent is a symphony in blue broad-cloth
and brass buttons. He is at once or
namental and useful The old iron
brake-wheei still looms up on the front
platform, but he rarely finds it neces-
sary to touch it. He is an object OF
envy and of admiration to the small
boy at the Queen Anne station-houses.
1t is his duty and pleasure to cultivate
graceful carriage. and the sharp
swing of the Eastlake coach around a
curve, which causes Farmer Wayback
and the woman with a green vail on
her bonnet to clutch the seat in terror,
ONLY provokes from him a sweet, sad
smile of sympathetic commiseration.
He is little less than a modern Beau
Brummel in his attention to the ladies
and school girls temporarily entrusted
TO his care. while maintaining an air
of condescending dignity toward the
men. When he displays opposite char
acteristics il is an evidence that his
training has been defective or he has
mistaken his occupation.
: Long live the passenger brakeman
OF to-day. the courteous, affable. &C
commodating young gentleman who Is
worthy the newest style in the way oil
a railroad uniform that the directors
and their tailor can devise.
But what has become OF the aero
batic. awkward. hard-handed brake
man of twenty-five years ago?
He owns the railroad now.-Phila'
delphia Press.

At The Horse Show,

At the Chicago horse show Mon
day, in class 1867, stations, theee years
old and under four, the first premium
was awarded to Degen Bros, of this
city, on their stallson Sutton.
BIT the auction sales at Battery ID,
LOugfellOw Whip, record 2:204, by
Kentucky Whip, was sold to Louis
Schovenfeld for $3.50. This animal
is well known here.
Mr.. Louis Hess, of this city, also
Almoretta, full sister of Almonta, a
splendidly matched team Of horses
for $3.50. They 60 to +. M. Worth,
West Chester, Pa.
Dwight Lawrence also sold his spot
ted stallion, De Haven, record better
than three minutes, for $3.50. He
goes to Earlville, in this county.
At the horse show in Chicago, Tues
day, La Sale county again came in
for a share in the premiums, Abner
Strawn, of this township, in class 124,
mare and sucking colt, capturing
third prize with Daisy and colt.
At the sale at Battery d., Patronage
was sold to the late owner of AXtell,
G. w. Williams, for S., 100.
l.. w. Hess is satisfied with the sale
OF his team, AlmOnta and Almoretta,
at $780, but says it makes man tired
to find out, after the sale was over,
that the buyer was willing to put in
more money for them if it had been
necessary, particularly when the team
was really worth more money than the
$3.50 paid. Mr.. Hess himself, however
did very well, in a pecuniary way, with
them at that price.

THE BONDS.
The Vote on the Proposition tn Borrow
$4,000 too Light to Garry IL Through.

The special election Tuesday on
the proposition to issue bonds fol
$l4,O to buy an electric light plant
went by default. The majority of
those voting was largely in favor OF
issuing the bonds, but the total vote
cast, to say nothing Of the majority
for the proposition, was too small To
accomplish the purpose OF the ma
jOrity.
The Statute, $50, chap. VII, says:
"No further appropriation
shall be made at any other time with
in such fiscal year, unless the PROPOSE.
ton to make such appropriation has
been first sanctioned by a majority OF
the legal uoters of such city or village,
either by petition signed by them,
or at a general or special election duly
called therefor"
Thus it appears that there is necess.
airy, to issue the bonds, the approval
of a majority of the legal voters OF
the city. At the last city election
there were 2,l3l votes cast, One-half of
which is only l,066, which number
must be cast for the bonds.
AS matter of fact, on yesterday
there were cast, both for and against
the proposition, only Sl3 votes, and
though of these the proposition had
499 majority there were not votes
enough cast to make it possible to
issue the bonds had every vote been
cast for the issue.
The same trouble appeared in the
vote on the City Hall bonds, which
died from the same cauSe-nOt enough
votes for them, though some of theil
friends claimed there were. But the
"p0wers that WERE" then, were wise
in their generation, and dropped the
subject.
The vote in detail yesterday was as
follows; ,, ,,o.u,,

THE COURTS.
Miscellaneous Court House Items.
SATURDAY.

We, the jury, find the defendant
Joseph Kota, guilty of murder, a.
charged in the Indictment, and fix the
punishment at forty years in the pen
itentiary."
In the circuit court yesterday Har.
riet f. Chaplin was granted decree
of divorce from her husband, William
Chaplin, on the ground of desertion
the two years prescribed by law having
elapsed.
Leave is granted the defendants to
withdraw their demurrer in the case
of La Sale County V. The Ottawa
Gas Light and Coke Co., suit for back
taxes. Defendant moves to dismiss.
TUESDAY.
The move by Fowler Bros, counsel
for Edgar Seaman, when the case was
reached yesterday morning, was some
what unexpected by the prosecution,
represented by Blake & TrainOr and
Judge Eldredge. The state entered
with the thought of calling a jury,
when Mr.. Hale Fowler arose and
moved to quash the several counts of
the Indictment. He stated that no
formal demand had been made upOn
Seaman to turn over any portion of
the estate of Henry Neville and no
order of court, form necessary to be
gone though with before he as admin
istratOr could legally turn over dol
lar, had been entered. If no order of
court had been made, who was the
legal custodian of whatever funds be-
lOnged to the estate? Was the admin
istrator the custodian or some outside
party who had not given bonds and
was not responsible? Seaman was
clearly the only lawful custodian of
the assets of the estate, and until he
had refused to comply with an order
OF the court to make partition, he
could not be held to be guilty of
crime. Upon this ground he moved
to Quash the Indictment.
The indictment was quashed.
When released, Seaman at once left
the court room, but a deputy sheriff
followed close upon his trail. Ten
minutes later another deputy started
in pursuit. He was armed with an
attachment for the body of Edgar H.
Seaman, issued out of. the Probate
Court upon the citation of last Janu-
airy. An hour later, numerous depu-
ties were securing the city for Mr.. Sea-
man, but he was not in town-he had

THE OPINION.

At ten o'clock yesterday morning
Judge Evans rendered his decision,
filing written opinion In the Funk
affair, which was, in substance, as FOL
lows, the opinion being very lengthy :
The opinion opens with statement
of the facts, that the petitioners, heirs
of Margaret MOhr, had no knowledge
of the proceedings in the Elizabeth Is.
+. Reddick estate by the orders IN
which matter Funk got hold OF
S23, 1905 of personal property; that
said orders were obtained by false tes-
timony and fraud; and they ask FOR
their rights.
After discussing and Overruling the
motion for a transfer OF the cause 10
the Circuit Court, the court concludes
by finding: .
~. That the estate is still unset
(2)r That Margaret MOhr heirs had
no knowledge of the proceedings In
the estate. o.
(3). That on February %, 1887,
Funk in his petition for the appoint
ment of G.. w. Armstrong, as admins
TRAITOR, swOre that he was the only
heir of Elizabeth b. +. Reddlck.
(4. That on May %, 1887, the adj
ministrator prayed for an order to
turn over the personal property to
John Funk as the only heir of Miss
Reddick; that Funk was present, and
that the order was issued turning over
to him railroad company stock valued
at $19,375. i,
(5). That February q, 1887, the ad.
ministrator prayed for an order for
final settlement, representing Jonn
Funk as the only heir; and that the
order was made.
(6). That on April 4th, 1889, Funk
appeared and objected to the final re-
port of the administrator, in which
said objections he represents that NJ
is the only heir, which is signed JOhI
Funk, by his attorney, II. M. Ryon, al
though said attorney, as appears IRON
the testimony of Wessling, knew OF
petitioners rights.
On. That by reason of the premises
and the Misrepresentation made tt
court, and the receptions practicet
upon it, the Court finds all of said OF
ders were procured by fraud, and that
all of such orders touching the pay
ment of moneys to John Funk are voit
and are hereby so declared.

At lust few minutes before six Mr..
Seaman, through Fowler Bros, his at
torneys, showed clearly that his feel
ings had been hurt. 1t seemed, at all
events by the nature OF the pr8cipe
filed. Mr.. Seaman filed suit for
3d. 900 damages, presumably for defa-
nation of character, against Eugene
Randall and Enward Drum, Of Chi
cago, prime movers in his case, and
the principal witnesses before the
grand jury.
THURSDAY.
1t is John Kilmer's mind that Is the
vital point in the Kilmer case now in
hearing before Judge Dibell. His wife,
Elizabeth Kilmer, and his conserva-
tor, j. Egbert Kilmer, with an array
of witnesses from the town or Miller
and the village of Marseilles eXclaim
that John Kilmer has been insane
for forty years, while other children,
with a like list Of retainers, say that
he did not lose his reason until a few
years ago, when cOnServatOr was
appointed over him. John Kilmer had
an entire section of the best land in
Miller, worth some 100000. or this,
all but fifty acres has been decided to
favorites. In seeking to prove him
insane at the time the deeds were exc
cuted. the plaintiffs introduced many
witnesses yesterday, but rested toward
levening.
The coneeryator states that kilmeI
had not done any business for fifteen
years.

THE TAXES.
Prepare to Shell Out to the Tax Collector
For 1889.

For 1889.
In Just about one month the tax
collectors will receive their books and
begin their annual rOnnd, gathering
in the surplus of property owners in
comes in the form of taxes for the
support of the government"
Ottawa catches it this year by an in
crease of 75c. in the High School tax,
to meet a levy of $4,000 whereas last
year it was only $4,000, making net
increase in the total tax in Ottawa
(city) of $685. on the 800 of assessed
valuation.
La Sale has the highest tax, $9.08 on
the 800. OF this, however, $2.42 is to
pay interest and principal on regis
tered town and school bonds, without
which the general tax would be less
than in Ottawa.
A comparative statement of the
rates in the leading cities of the coun-
ty will be interesting. Starting with
a state tax of 38c Enormously printed
yesterday as 2S) and county levy of
