losing their little boy, Clarence, last week.

l understand Judge Hart has been ap-
pointed judge in place of kemper, deceased.
We think Mann Ringo little hasty in rec
ommending Judge Hart until he heard from
other portions of the district. While we
hold Judge Hart in the highest respect and
have supported him a number OF times, we
think as long as he has gone out Of business
and is quite old and feeble, we think young
man would fill the office much more salts
factorily.

o! dreams Of the beautiful past!
Why haunt ye my memory still?
Bright visions that never could last
Why come we my lone heart to thrill?
ALL if might always forget,
Or forever thy memory retain;
TITS sad to forget thee, and yet
Remembrance but bringeth new pain.
Bright dreams of the sunny "gone by,"
Fond hopes have cherished SO long,
Why fade We as fiowerlets die?
Crushed by the worlds busy throng?
TITS only the hearts that have bled-
The pity we ask can bestow,
For out of hop es' ashes, though dead,
The fairest of flowers may grow.
Sometime in the future, l know,
This tempest of sorrow will cease;
The turbulent waters of woe,
Give place to the river Of peace.
Some time to my heart shall clasp,
My childhood my womanhood's prize,
No more to be torn from my grasp,
No more to be yelled from my eyes.
By faith In the distance I see,
This storm cloud of grief roll away,
Revealing in beauty to me
The glorious light of new day.
No more for the past will weep,
My future no fears can annoy,
From tears I have sown, shall reap,
A bountiful harvest Of joy.

The Ore and Steel Foreclosure.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat

Messrs. C. q. Mafit, Pierre Chouteau and
James Taussig, the committee OF the Cnou-
teau bondholders on the St. Louis Ore and
Steel Company and the mortgage and pledge
of the Bessemer interest securing those
bonds, are receiving assignments OF the indi'
vidual holdings, preparatory to the suit In
the United States Circuit Court to foreclose.
The Chouteau bonds are one OF those issues
and are first mortgage on the Ore and Steel
Company and the Bessemer process, and
second mortgage on some other portions OF
the property. The sale, it is expected, will
be had early this fall. In order to prevent
sacrifice of the property at the foreclosure,
and to protect the interest of the Chouteau
bondholders, joint action has been decided
upon, and some person will be agreed upon
to bid in their behalf at the sale, the bonds
and past-due coupons being placed In the
hands of the committee to be applied, as Tar
as possible, in the payment OF the purchase
price. The property viii! then be held in trust
for the bondholders participating in the pur-
chase, subject to their disposition. In the
assignment of the bonds, the holders agree
also to pay their pro rata share OF the cash
necessary, if any, to complete the purchase.
The bonds so assigned go to the committee
named, through the St. Louis Trust Com
pany, that company issuing for the same the
transferable receipt Of the committee. ii
the sale goes through for the amount OF the
Chouteau bond only, it will wipe out the IN
come bonds and the stock. If anything is left
it will be applied first to the income bonds.
Inquiry among those interested developed
| the plan a little further. The object OF the
foreclosure is really to get the property In
| the hands Of the bondhoders aud to cut on
| number of high-saIaried officers who are
now eating into it. As soon IS the bond
holders gain possession they can reduce
these expenses to the employment OF few
watchmen. They can then afford to hold
the property several years Unnecessary. This
is the first object. Then comes the second
and an important one, the sale OF the Besse'
mer process, the most valuable asset OF the
company, and one which they regard q:
worth 81 ,0OO, 900, or the face OF the bonds.
With this realized it would leave the interest
for a year and a half still due. With the
property in tn cir possession the bondholders
will also be in position to make another lease
of the property if they can do so advantage
ously, or, with the revival of the iron mark
ct, make the balance of their claim out O.
the sale of old iron.
