The Christmas Tree.

Vast is the crop of such fruit, shin
ing our Christmas tree in blossom, al
most at the very top; ripening all
down the boughs.
Among the later toys and fancies
hanging there-as idle often and less
pure-be the images once associated
with the sweet old Waits, the softened
music in the night, eyer unalterable!
Encircled by the social thoughts OF
Christmas time, still let the benignant
figure OF my childhood stand unchang-
ed! In every cheerful image and sug-
gestion that the season brings, may
the bright star that rested above the
poor roof be the star OF all the Chris
tian world! A moments pause, O..
vanishing tree, OF which the lower
boughs are dark to me as yet, and let
me look once more! I know there are
blank spaces on thy branches, where
eyes that / have loved have shone and
smiled, from which they are departed.
But, far above, see the Raiser OF the
dead girl, and the widows SON; and
God is good! If Age be hiding for me
in the unseen portion of thy down
ward growth, O, may /, with that fig
nre, and q child's trustfulness and
confidence! Now, the tree is decorat-
ed, with bright merriment, and song,
and dance, and cheerfulness. And
they are welcome. Innocent and well
come be they ever held, beneath the
branches OF the Christmas Tree, which
cast no gloomy shadow! But, as it
sinks into the ground / hear whis-
per going through the leaves: This in
commemoration OF the law ofloye,and
kindness, mercy and compassion.
This, in remembrance Of Me!"-
Charles Dickens.

were returned to-day against Edwards NJ.
Field OF the defunct firm of Field, LindleY.
Wiechers & Co.. by the grand. jury. Both
indictments speci grand larceny in the
first degree and, are. based on the complaint
made by Frank j. Sprague. who changes
Field with the larceny OF $50. shares
of Edison Electric: Light company stock.
which he gave as collateral for borrowed
money. The par value Of the stock was.
IA per share. The day after the three hun
bred shares were given to Mr.. Fields farm,
Mr.. Sprague gave to him fifty shares more
of the same stock. 1t is upor these two
specific transactions. that both indictments
are based
The grand Jury is by no means through
with the investigation into, the gigantic
frauds o Field. 1t is expected that many
more indictments Will BE- returned. Mr..
Sprague alleges that the fifty shares which
he forwarded to Field on Nov. s. were sold
through Watson g. Brother

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. %. -Gov.sL. Fl. Hum
phrey will have the appointment Of the
new senator to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr.. Plumb's death and will doubtless
make it soon. Three of the greatest living
Republicans Of Kansas to-day all reside in
Topeka, the home OF the Alliance senator,
w. A. PETER, namely, George Peck, the
present solicitor general OF the Santa Fe
road, ex-Gov. and ex- United States Senator
Thomas A. Osborn and Maj. D. Il. Hudson,
ofthe Topeka Capital
Inquiry at the executive Offices ELECTED
the information that residence or location
will cut no figure in the appointment Of the
new senator. JohnJ. ingalls, Of Atchison
has not even possibility on account OF his
apathy in the recent elections J. E. Bur
ton OF Abilene, the Republican who took
the stump against PETER in the joint de-.
bate, and the recently appointed worlds
fair commissioner from Kansas, vice Reese
r. Price. resigned, is possibility, who has
youth against him. Ex-Congressman
Bishop Perkins OF Oswego, who was es-
teemed one OF the ablest members OF the
Republican delegation in congress from
this state, was also spoken Of.
These are the only names that will be
considered, with the probability Of the
choice narrowing down to three men-Per-
kins, Peck and Hudson. The TACT that
Peck is railroad man may operate against
him: Hudson is a brainy, courageous Re-
publican leader. He is almost the exact
counterpart of Plumb in features. Hcis a

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-The department

Many of these horses were diseased, and
some had the CHAMBERS. Most OF the meat
was corned and put up,for export as family
beef
The secretary CT agriculture wired the in
spectors of ports Of shipment to stop such
exports Immediately and notify the local
boards of health. One dealer, learning
this, changed his label and undertook to
ship some of the stuff abroad. as horse III eat
under the impression he could thus evade
the bureau inspectors. Secretary Rusk,
however. did not propose to- permit the in
tent of the law to be thus baked, and he
advised. to-day that the chic; inspector at
New York seized the entire lot of seventy
five tierces and turn it over to the offal
dock.
The official record in the bureau OF ami
NAL industry shows that this nefarious in
dustry has been, carried on for some time
in secret fashion. Secretary Rusk is de-
termined to useall the power at his COM
mand to put a stop once and for all to this

FILLED &. WITH LEAD
Three Prisoners in an Arkansas Jail
Shot by q Mob Of Masked
Men.
An Unsatisfactory Settlement Of q
Vigorously Fought Divorce Suit
Causes the Trouble.

DEWITT. Ark, Dec. 22.-Early this morn
ing body of masked men entered the Jail
at Dewitt and shot to death J. M. Smith,
Floyd Gregory and Nose Henderson, who
were confined therein.
The crime for which the men paid the
penalty with their lives originated in di-
vorce proceeding by Mrs Mary J. Smith
against her husband, J. M. Smith, one of
the unfortunate victims OF this mornings
tragedy. The suit was fought vigorously
by both parties, but Mrs Smith was grant
ed divorce and given decree for one
third of the husbands property. On the
night OF the 10th inst. the negro Nose Hen
derson went to the house OF Mrs. Smith and
shot her with load Of buckshot, shooting
of the fingers and thumb OF herright hand,
the load then passing through her shoulder
into the wall Of the dwelling. The negro
was recognized and captured, and made a
confession in which he stated that he was
to receive from Smith the sum Of $l75 in
money, eighty acres Of land, four head of
cattle and horse for committing the crime.
Smith and his son-in-laW Gregory were ar
rested and preliminary trial was held be-
lore Esquire Joseph Sacrider, and the
bonds of Smith and the negro were placed
at $4,000 each, and OF Gregory, who with
Smith piloted the negro to the house of
Mrs. Smith, where the shooting was DONE
eat $11, 900, in default Of which they wer
sent to Jail.
1t was reported that Smith and Gregory
would give bonds to-day and be released.
This report, it is thought, caused the kill
ing. The mob was composed Of fifteen or
twenty men, and was very orderly. Some
twelve or fifteen shots were fired into the
prisoners, all OF whom were Instantly
killed. The. mob LETT no clue to their
identity, and it is hardly possible that their
names will ever be known. There is no
excitement over the matter here in town,
and business is going on as if nothing I'M
usual had happened. ~s

William Cryderman, stone cutter here

to day concerning block of the building
stone Irom'the new quarry at Dickinson,

its working qualities: ~
This is piece Of the surface stone, and harder
than 1t Will be when they get further into the
quarry. 1t IS a pretty whitish gray in color and
works nicely and weighs heavy. l subjected it
to severe test, which shows that it will be a
capital building stone. l put this piece in the
stove until it became red-hot. and then threw it
into a barrel OF cold water. it never cracked or
crumbled at all, while granite would have gone
TO pieces as,soOn the water touched 1t. This
Will make it especially valuable for building pur-
poses, AS it will resist much better than gran
lite. 1t the Northern Pacific would make a low
rate until the stone gets into general use we
could use a great deal of it.
