POETRY.
IN N OVEN Der.

The ruddy sunset lies
Banked along the west,
In hocks with sweep and rise
The birds are COINS to rest,
The air clings and cools,
And the reeds look cold
Standing above the pools
Like rods at beaten gold.
The Haunting golden-rod
Has lost her worldly mood,
She's given herself to God
And taken nuns hood.
The wild and wanton horde
That kept the summer revel
Have taken the serge and cord
And given the slip to the Devil.
The winters loose somewhere,
Gathering snow for fight;
From the feel Of the air
| think it will freeze tonight.

now exists no reasonable probability
that the sCurrier bill will be passed.

THE terrible mob violence resorted
to by the citizens Of New Orleans to
revenge the assassination of police
man Hennessey by a lot of lawless
Italians who could not be, or at least
were not, reached through the courts,
has caused widespread comment and
criticism. A gang of these anarchists
were tried and acquitted for the muir
der of which they were plainly guilty,
and outraged justice impelled peace.
full citizens to rise up and strike the
blow which hurled the guilty ones in
to eternity without warning or cere-
mony. Such an outbreak is to be de-
plored. 1t reflects severely upon the
fair name of our country, but it more
seriously reflects upon the inadequcy
of our courts to deal justly with ter
roriZing aSsaSSins such as the Malta
band. 1t is not to the credit of re-
spectacle Italians that they cry out
for vengeance against the summary
punishment of band of cutthroats
who richly deserved all they got.
They should rather rejoice that the
country is rid of them and that they
are placed beyond the limit of further
disgracing the nation which gave
them birth. What the outcome of
the affair will be cannot be told. The
dignity of the country must be upheld,
and steps will be taken to punish the
leaders of the mob. But public senti-
ment is so strong with the movement,
and the citizens of New Orleans so
thoroughly in sympathy with the
means employed to do that which the
law and evidence directed should have
been done in another way but with
practically the same results, that no
apprehension is felt for the safety of
the leaders of the mob.

AN EARNEST OF REFORM.

The opportunity for reform in mum
acipal matters is presented to the vOt-
ers of Mankato in form that should
secure the hearty approval and coop
Grafton of all citizens. Mr.. Wizards
acceptance of the office of mayor
should be endorsed by our people to
the extent of giving him the best pos
ssible material for aldermen, as one
branch of the administration is quite
as essential as the other. The COM
Hnittee appointed to select list of
names for aldermen to present to the
party primaries has made it's report,
and as whole the gentlemen named
are deserving of recognition. While
there may be some slight objection to
Ghis or that man, it is believed that
the acceptance of the committees re-
port as whole will give more general
satisfaction than can be given by par
4isan selections. .........
If the men chosen by the committee
are named, they will be absolved from
all party considerations for they will
'9e given to understand from the very
nature of their election that they
were chosen to labor for the interest
of the city and not for the benefit of
any party or faction. They will be
free TO act as their judgments may
dictate without fear of offending
party friends.

Messrs. Willard & Fuller.
Gentlemen:-I see by the Home
stead of Jan. Both that you own Dago-
bert 5151 (2431.) Now I own colt
sired by Dagobert. 1t is a stallion
coming years old, black in color and
weighs 1900 lbs. purchased him of
the Hancock Importing Company. He
stood at the head of their studs. They
have now son of DagObert at the
head. Dagobert must be a superior
breeder as | have seen several of his
colts that call hard to beat. / would
like to have you send description of
Dagobert, as it would be good to show
to my patrons and ifyou have any cuts
please send me one. If this is not ask
ing too much 1 will be obliged,
Ever Yours,

The Hancock Importing Co. is firm
that is handling good many stations
and shows their esteem of Dagobert
by keeping sons of him at the head of
their studs. One of Dagobert's colts
weighs 1900 lbs, stands at the head
of o. r. Thestler's studs of fifty head
at Chapman, Kansas. The second
prize two year old mare at American
Horse Show, Chicago, 1889, was one of
his colts and the fact that M. w. Dun
ham, VIM. Ellwood and L. Johnson
have imported seven Of his colts in the
last two years with the above record
prove him to be one of greatest sires
that has been imported.

THE CITY TICKET.

The contest in the approaching city
election, eliminating the question of
mayor and aldermen, promises to be
sharp and interesting. The Demo
cratic slate has been arranged as fol-
lows
For Municipal JUDGE. E. Porter.
For Recorder-W. T. Bienapf.
For TreaSurer-GeO. MaXfield, Sr.
An effort will be made by certain
faction of the party to defeat the
nomination of Judge Porter, but it is
not Sufficiently strong to accomplish
it's purpose. Mr.. Porter has backing
that absolutely insures his nominal
tion. There is no opposition to Mr..
Bienapfi. The name of G. w. Slade
has been frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the Office of treasurer,
but it is said that he is yet undecided
as to whether to enter the field or not.
On the Republican side, the ticket is
not filed and will not be until the re-
suit of the city convention is announc-
ed. For the office of municipal judge,
however, it is forgone conclusion
that Ira P. Shissler will have no oppo-
sition. There are two or three can
didates for treasurer. The names of
Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Kennedy have
already been noted, and there may be
Others who will come up later. For
Recorder, no one has yet been prom
inently mentioned, but it is probable
that there will be plenty who can be
found willing to sacrifice personal in
terests for public good with thous-
and dollar salary attached.

The Financial Condition of the Republic
Anything but Flattering.
Cry OF MEXICO (via Galveston) June
1S.-El Partido Liberal says the finan.
cial condition of Guatemala is terrible
that an interior loan of that republic
was made by order OF President Baril-
las; that his proceeding is illegal, as the
assembly should have ordered it and
not the president.
L'Cronista, weekly journal pub
lished in Guatemala, bitterly attacks
what it terms the "ruinous" financial
policy of the Guatemalan government.
The Guatemalan election excitement is
extending to Honduras, where the feel
ing against President Bogran is appa-
rently very great.
A private telegram from the city OF
Guatemala says there has been general
shaking up in the cabinet OF President
Barrillas. The trouble in the old cabi-
net was occasioned by the fact that Bar
rillas wanted to take the responsibility
of running every department without
consulting his secretaries. This resulted
in revolt, and the secretaries were fired.
The new cabinet now is as follows Min
lister of foreign relations and public
works, DE Leon; treasurer, Aguilar:
minister of war, President Barrillas;
minister of the interior and Justice,
Viletta. President Barrillas has con-
tracted new loan of 100000, with
the object of retiring the treasury notes

SAIL FOR ALASKA.
The Marion Waiting for Final Instruc-
tions-No Black Diamond Fiascos to Be
Enacted This Summer.

SAN Francisco, June 1S.-The Alert
and the NIohican sailed today for the
Alaskan sealing grounds. They went
under special orders from Washington
to carry out the instructions based on
the recent international agreement.
The revenue steamers, Bear and Rush,
are already north, and the Thetis and
Corwin sailed yesterday. The Marion
is to GO up shortly and take the latest
orders.
1t only became known today just what
these orders are. No vessels seized this
season are to be sent away, as was the
Black Diamond last summer. Every
vessel encountered is to warned
at once and memorandum
of the date and place will be
entered on the log OF the revenue
steamer. If, after having been warned,
the vessel is caught sealing, she will be
seized and escorted to Ounalaska. There
the skins will be removed and stored and
the officers and crew will be taken to
naval transport steamer, which is to be
sent up, either from this port or the
sound for this special purpose. A force
o. o. navy marines will guard all poachers,
and there will be few, u any OF the
cases put into the courts.
The Alaska Commercial company has
been awarded the contract for taking
1000 tons of coal to Ounalaska to sup
ply the government fleet during the
season.

A Deficiency of 100000 in the
Treasurer's Statement.
Expenditures of the Government Far
Exceed the Revenues.
Secretary Fosters Enmity to Silver-The
President Takes a Vacation-Gen-
eral Schofield Married.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-It is said that
the treasurer's statement, to be issued
tomorrow, will show deficiency of
5000, 900 instead of a net cash balance.
This is the first time that this has oc-
Cured since the present form OF state
ment was adopted by Treasurer Jordan.
In making this calculation, however,
no account is taken OF $22,000,0 900 on
deposit in national banks, and $20,000,-
900 fractional silver in the treasury.
The expenditures so far this month
have been So, 1873 1924 in excess of the en-
tire revenue OF the government during
the same period, amounting to$lS, 221 ,S52.
These were exceeded by pension pay
ments alone, which amounted to $751;
3l2,155. The treasury officials say the
expenditures during the remainder of
the month will be light and the receipts
will be sufficiently heavy to overcome
the present excess of expenditures and
leave small surplus for the month.
These same officials say the treasurer's
statement tomorrow will not include the
receipts during the past two days, and
ii it did, an actual surplus OF $2,000,O00
would be shown, instead of an apparent
def1ciencV.

The Commander-I In Chief of the Army
Welded to Miss Kiibourne.
KEoKUK, Iowa, June 1S.-The mar
riage of General John M. Schoield, com
mander-in-chief of the army of the
United States, to Miss Georgia Kill
bourne OF this city, was solemnized in
st. Johns Episcopal church here al
high noon today, the officiating clergy
man being Rev. R. G. McIlwaine.
AS far as consistent with the high
rank of General Schotield and the social
prominence OF his bride, the wedding
was devoid of display, the only military
features being that the general and staff
appeared in full uniform. Only intimate
friends and relatives of the contracting
parties witnessed the ceremony. The
city was handsomely decorated for the
occasion.
Just before IL the wedding party left
the house of Mrs. Kilbourne, the brides
mother. The church was beautifully
decorated with festoons of oak leaves
and evergreens studded with roses, and
there was an abundance of other cut
flowers, A canopy covered with silk
flags extended from the entrance to the
carriage. The bride wore superb cos
TUNE e. ST1hitc Tl,..c coroea six ;Ssith deml-
train, Louis Quinze jacket, and white
bonnet. Her hands were encased in
white gloves, and she carried silver
clasued prayer hook. Mrs. Kilbourne,
the brides mother, gave her away. AT
precisely 12 O'Clock Prelate R. G. Nc
flwaine pronounced them man and wife.
He was assisted in the ceremony by
Bishop Perry, of the Episcopal disocese
of Iowa. The ceremony was impressive
and beautiful.
The prominent persons in attendance
from abroad included General Schoield's
sister, Mrs. Wise Miss Caroline Wise !;
Mrs. Edward Kilbourne and daughters,
Jennie and Colin, and Edith and Will
lam Fyffe, of Chicago; Captain G. B..
Schofeld, of Washington, b. c.; Lieu
tenant A. D. Andrews; Lieutenant T. n.
Bliss and Miss Andrews, of New York f;
Rev.James Schofeld and two daughters,
of Independence, Iowa; Hon. and Mrs.
Hiram Barney, of New York; Z. B.

general Mrs. G.. j. Ball, of st. Louis !;
George Fl. Devoe, of Kansas City; w
r. Poe, John Squlres and r. F. Brad
ford, of st. Louis.
The wedding breakfast was partaken
of at the home of Mrs. Kilbourne from
1880 to 2:30 this afternoon. Those
holding invitations attended the recep-
tion at the family residence. Promptly
at 2:45 Company A, Second regiment,
National Guard and camp of Sons of
Veterans escorted General Schofeld to
the Hotel Keokuk, where a public re-
ception was held. Four to five hundred
children, each carrying small flag,
were presented, in addition to veterans
and citizens.
Late this afternoon General Schofeld
and bride, together with Lieutenants
Andrews and Bliss, left in special car
for San Francisco and other western
points.
