years ago the postoffce block and Colwell's
lumber yard filled the space, then the Col
we'll Sherwood block rose from the lumber
piles, and now the new Rosencrans- Leland

There are still those in our midst who
shout that Ottawa is the same old Ottawa Of
yore,-the same old town down in the valley
between the towering hills, but they do not
know her as she is, it needs but the eye Of
one who has not seen her streets for fifteen
or twenty years to fully appreciate her de-
velopment. met gentleman on Monday
who in incidental conversation remarked:
This is the first time l have been in OF,
tsws in years and l tell you the old town
has been humping itself. New bridges, new
electric railway, new churches, new schools,
gres. blocks of business houses where squat
I'd one story shantes, streets with three feet
Of gravel on them, new court house,-why
hardly know the old town"

MAN ABOUT TOWN.
THE ROLLING YEARS,

THE ROLLING YEARS.
Do the years gather moss,
The MOSES Of time,
As they swift onward roll
From youth and from prime,
Down the hillside Of age,
Still bloomiDgly fair,
To the gate place Of end
And the land home Of air.
Like the wee mewing babe,
On its young mothers breast,
Is their first breathing hour
With the bright sunlight blest.
Like the gay budding boy,
At his rude childish play,
Is their spring time Of life
With its swift bounding day.
Slowly, time carves in youth
With q skilled, csre-trained han
Till their bounding life's course
Flows on calmly and grand,
And their gay laughing eyes,
Bearing grave thoughts concern,
Like the bright watchful stars,
With o steadfast light burn.
Down the green plain Of prime
And the rocked steep of age,
They move on a pace
They journey stage.
Till the thoughtless and free
And the light burdened gay,
Bear the age cloak Of life,
At the close of its day.
Though perforce all bow low,
As they slowly descend,
Through the archwsys of age
To the gloom at their end.
Yet the black pail of night
Covers least those known years,
In whose days shone our love,
On whose sod fell our tears.
Aye, their lustre least dimms
Whose light wings swiftly bear
The bright days that were dear,
The dark days that we're care,
While the years mount away,
On b ir swift winging fight,
Till our eyes seek no more
For their fading in night.

VOICES OF THE NIGHT.
Voices Of the night
They are,
Fellows yelling at
The car.
Car the last at night
Iswow,
Walking just two miles
All, WOW!
Roll, roll on thou car,
just roll.
Leave us here standing
In the hole.
Roll on; just you roll,
Go head;
You have gone on fast
Onward sped.
You don't care tonight
Not you,
Walk we or ride we,
Do you?
Yes you roll on car
Just whoop,
Leave us here standing
In the soup.

SUGAR FRAUD IN KANSAS.


A dispatch from Topeka states that swindle
of gigantic proportions has been perpetrated
upon the farmers 70 two counties in Kansas and
it may be more far reaching than is yet known.
The amount involved in the swindle aggre-
gates over Sl50,000. The American sugar COM
psny Of Kansas was chartered about year
ago, its agent built mill to manufacture sugar
from sorghum at Meade Center. The product
from the mill was exceptional, both in quality
and quantity. The farmers, who saw a new in
dustry added to the state, were jubilant over
its success and when the company proposed
that the differeu mt townships should vote bonds
to it for the extension of its works they fell in
with the plan readily and bonds to the amount
OF $4,000 we're voted and the scrip turned
over to the company. At Ashland Clark
county, the same plan was pursued and bonds
to the amount of $4,000 we're voted by the
farmers of that county.
Although nothing definite is known as to the
companys transactions IN other parts of the
state. it is believed that one or two other west
ern counties were also induced to vote bonds to
the company to provide them means to erect
their sugar mills. Two OF the employees of
Messrs. Emerson Il Painter, in the Meade
Center mill, suspected some sharp practice by
the company. They investigated and reported
to the authorities here that the manager had
mixed pure sugar with sorghum strip in guam
titles sufficient to produce a superior sugar in
very profitable quantities from small cane pro-
duct. The residents of two OF the townships
Of Meade county called on the manager OF the
mill, and, in the presence of the sheriff. CON-
PEELED him to destroy the bonds voted to the
company. The bonds OF the other townships
have been negotiated. 1t is believed that no
legal action can be taken against the sugar
company.

EVA MAKES NO DEFENSE.
Robert Ray HamiltOn's Wife Leaves
Him Free by Not Answering.

Robert Ray Hamilton isn't going to have
much trouble in getting rid Of his wife, Eva,
who is now serving out her time for attempted
murder IN the New Jersey state prison. The
complaint in his action against her for absolute
divorce was served several weeks ago, and as the
time has now elapsed within which she might
answer, and no answer has appeared, the ex-
assemblyman has plain sailing. He can now go
right ahead and get his decree Of divorce. and
is even now practically free from the woman
who has done so much to wreck his life and
prospects 1t was expected that, in spite Of her
imprisonment, she would fight the divorce case
tooth and nail and make Hamilton pay dearly
for the privilege of getting rid of her.
1t is whispered that Mr.. Hamilton did not
get off 80 easily as might be imagined and
that ample provision has been made for her
when she shall have finished her term OF i'm
prisonment at Trenton. Whether the case will
be tried in open court or before a referee is I'M
certain, but in all probability the former
method of proceeding will be adopted in view
OF the new rule recently adopted by the
supreme court judges in regard to the trial OF
divorce cases.
Mother Swinton and her son, GOSH" Mann,
will. it is said, be witnesses for the plaintiff in
this suit and it on condition that they
should aid him in getting his divorce that the
prosecution against them for conspiracy was
dropped and they were released last week.

fully 800 people had gathered to watch the
sight, and the boa-which was fully seven feet
in length-was unwinding its slow length down
the avenue. Lynch the pestiferous brute"
yelled a hod carrier as he made pass at it
with his hod. The snake promptly showed up
a mouth like coal scuttle with . large seating

with a combination of brick and deadly aim
