Balmaceda's armed transport, the Imperial

Admiral McCann's last report showed that
the Imperial was shut up in Valparaiso

DENIsoN, TEX, May s.-Burglars en-
tered the large establishment of the Leeper
Hardware company last night and blew

back door the two burglars were Just disap-
pearing down the alley. Two shots were
fired, however, at them without effect A
lot of wet blankets were found to be
wrapped about the safe and the outer door
was blown from it's hinges. The blankets
used were stolen from the ice factory and
the drills and tools taken from q blacksmith

GRovELING INSTINCTS.
Reagan was put on the commission not be-
cause OF MS special and unquestiored fit
ness, but because he must be gotten out of
the governors way Chiffon was given MS
place IN the senate not because he possesses
brains and ability, and gives promise OF !
bright and distinguished career, but because
he will do to hold down the seat for the
governor until he gets ready
TO STEP Up HIGHER.
Some OF these critics are especially scan
dalized by the governors refusal to recoe-
nize the demand of the Alliance in the mat
ter OF appointing its man Duncan on the
commission. The farmer has been snubbed,
his claims secuted and his wishes trampled
upon. The man with the hoe is not in it,
and so OF.
As shown in a previous dispatch, this
sort Of talk is all buncombe, since the men
who demanded
DUSCAS's APPOINTMENT
are the very men who wanted it least, and
who lobbied beforehand with friends Of
the governor against it. Brother Duncan
will perhaps thank the writer for letting
him into this little secret, and showing how
ne was knitted long ago by soma Of his
good Alliance brethren, who are now max
ing such row over the governors refusal

Love is often deaf 10 those
Who love her deeply;
Deaf and blind rs death may DO
To griof or gadness.
All, that love should hold a heart
At best but cheaplyl
Such heart aS none can lure
To cruel madness
Love, alas is born of earth,
And drifts supinely.
Now she finds bitter JOY
In vulgar measure.
Now she sings with open throat,
And sings divinely,
Passion-sweet in all her dream,
In all her pleasure.
OH when Love meets Love in guise
Supremacy tender.
just as crystal song meets song
In perfect blending,
Then she scars among the stars
To her surrender.
There is neither pain for her
Nor ending.
