THE DEAD IRISH LEADER
PARNELL MURDERED TO PLEASE
ENGLISHMEN.
Incendiary Placards Posted in Cork.
McCarthytes Will Not Be Permitted to
Attend the Funeral-Reminiscens of
Parnell-His Mothers Grief.

Cork, Oct. 9.-Posters have been plac-
arded about the city having deep
mourning borders and bearing in the
center the words Murdered to please
Englishmen." There are also verses de-
nouncing the McCarthyites and United
Ireland, declaring Parnell was muir
dered, .and imploring the people to re-
main tranquil. The posters are stirring
up much excitement.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.--The Freeman's Jour
nal and United Ireland both denounce
the sensational placarding at Cork as an
attempt to incite disorder.
WILL NOT ATTEND THE FUNERAL.
The United Ireland protests against
anti-Parnellites attending Parnell's OBJ
sequies. 1t says the men who tried to
drive Parnell to the wall ought not to
sentimentalize over his grave.
The evening Press of this city says: {:
1t is not probable that the McCarthyite
members of parliament will attend the
funeral, as many of them, especially Mr..
Healey, have received threats that vio-
lence will be done them if they dare to
desecrate the occasion by their pres
ence.

Add to Your Vocabulary.

A certain father constantly told his
daughters; "Girls, get new words into
your vocabularies." It was plain his
admonition was needed. Seldom were
girls met whose language was as varied
and picturesque as theirs. They were
never at loss to express exactly what
they intended. They used different
phrases to describe different feelings and
sensations, and the proper one appeared
where it was needed. After talking to the
average girl, to whom everything is
lawfully sweet" or simple dreadful"
and whose terms for JOY and grief, assent
or denial, can be confidently predicted,
it was pleasure as well as a relief to
listen to these bright young people,
whose conversation showed what might
be accomplished with little effort.
The English language, made up as it is,
of words derived from the principal
languages of the world. holds immense
possibilities for the student. Those able
to write it easily, who have ready
command of a correct phraseology,
possesses power quickly recognized and
strongly felt. And it is a power which a
sufficient amount of study can give those
willing to take the trouble to acquire it.
Everybody may not be able to write freely
and with the most agreeable effect to the
reader, although, with the requisite
amount of pains, more could be done in
this direction than most people suppose.
But it is at least possible for young
people and some older people to get a
few new words into their vocabularies."
A book of synonyms is an easily
accessible help. It could teach a few
adjectives besides those in everyday
use, which are frequently worn
threadbare. Indeed some of these stock
phrases have become meaningless. A
family which established a fine for the
use of any one of them, coupled with a
reward for clever application of new
word, might institute a reform which
would spread as do the ripples until it
covered whole corner of society's mill
pond.-Hayber'S Bazay.

member that the Burlington Route is still

Your attention is now called to orr
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to St. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the passen-
ger in st. Louis in the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries a through buffet sleeping car to

passenger in the twin cities twenty hours

A Plea for the Bashful Young Ma,

A Plea for the Bashful Young Man.
We have made a few observations in
our time and among other things that we
have learned so we'll that it has almost
become an axiom with us is that the
bashful young man, particularly the one
who is bashful in the presence of ladies, is
the one You want to treat with the ut
most consideration. Don't ridicuIe nor
make sport of him, for as a rule he is one
of natures noblemen. Why does he blush
and stammer when addressed by lady?
Is 1t because of his ignorance, his want of
bringing up? No, it is because of his
great reverence for your sex. In his
mind he considers you as infinitely his
superior and he approaches you with the
same Difference and awe that serf would
an eastern potentate. He has been
taught to believe and does believe that
you are of a superior order of beings. He
has invested you with all the virtues in
the category; in brief he thinks you are
but little inferior to the angels themselves
Instead of receiving the scorn and ridi-
cule which is often thoughtlessly bestow-
ed upon the bashful young man he should
receive your warmest sympathies and you
would never regret it if you bestowed up
on him your deepest love. 1t is not the
bashful young man who makes frivolous
or insulting remarks concerning you in
your absence; with him woman is never
the subject of idle gossip. He never for
gets that the truest, best and most Iowa
BILE of all of God s creatures was his moth
er, the embodiment of every grace and
virtue, and through her memo y he adores
the whole sex. What if he doesn't know
what to do with his hands or his feet:
what difference if his tongue becomes, in
your presence, silent. 1t is the most con-
vincing evidence that he is true gentle
tleman at heart and worth dozen of the
other class who can look you straight in
the eye without blush or perceptible
emotion; who can meet you under all cir
cumstances with the lordly grace and per-
feet ease of Chesterfield; who always
meets you as his equal; if indeed he is
willing to concede even that much. The
bashful young man is only so because the
belief is deeply implanted in his heart
that you are his superior in all the virtues
that go to make up a womanly woman.
He may perhaps be rare in your circle of
acquaintance, but when you find such
young man, you may be sure you have
found diamond although in the rough.

''IF republicanism was ever rig hit
it is still right, and is as near to the
people to-day as it ever was. All
such claptrap as that given the pub
lie in his letter to the editor at

NEXT to the Bible and text books
encourage your children to read
your local paper. By no other
agency can you so successfully Guilt
vate a taste for useful reading. The
items of news chronicled each week,
of subjects and persons with whom
they are acquainted, will soon be
come interesting, and the habit will
be formed which will gradually ex-
tend to books of travel and history,
and a desire will be implanted to
know something of the world and It's
affairs. We frequently hear fond
parents speak with pride of the fact
that their children are great readers.
Upon investigation we frequently
find that the reading is confined
to cheap novels and stories of the
trashiest character. It would be
much better for the child if he didn't
read at all. Aside from the fact
that such reading is positively
harmful and must have baneful
effect upon his character, he is form
ing taste and habits that will pre-
clude anything substantial or beneti-
cial and render it almost impossible
to direct the mind in the proper
channel. A grea. deal depends up,
on the kind Of literature first read
BY cur children and IN many
instances it would be much better
IL the child didn't read at all. The
local paper will create a desire to
know about what is happening IN
the neighborhood and the desire to
enlarge the mental vision BY the
nd of daily papers, books Of travel
md biographies will be an easy and
ceptible transaction.
