PHRASES AND DREAMS,

Written for THE SUNDAY CALL
Far and near Phantosies put claims;
Some noyelists gaze through romantic eyes;
Their toasts are loaded with PHOSPHORUS air
D, Dud, we will try snow-balls on the pair.
Ell Prime Regina-look at the prize Queen;
Sit still, say. and dispense with heroics sly,
Nor toys to be used as your moods may be;
The sweet lay stress or fine perception
Her intuitions are pirate about,
Her claim every day new reception
OF matters which give reason out.
The clay out she made are magnet ore;
She usually gives her love more and more.
Come again. take on my widows hard;
Her generous proinenades were in dark
To seek her lad, SO many kisses she spent;
So often beloved-then he feels so proud
y, pretty Honorie n OF as bashful maid.
Exi Specuum Virgo look the portrayed maid;
II the strings OF my heart may be riven
BY maiden coquette who led me along
She can be pardoned, excused, forgiven
For innocence blindfolding, oft wrong,
But she has worn willingly the fetter
What Cupid FORCES at Hymen's commando;
We'll, she ought to know better
She needs no mercy from any hand.

MURDERED BY REDSKINS.

An Indian Boy Tells How His Father
Killed White Man and Woman.
In the Federal Court at Paris, Tex, tes-
timOny has been given showing that double
murder has been committed in the Choctaw
Nation by Tomless Williams a full blood
Choctaw. A white man stopped at the
house of Jackson Baptiste. He was accom-
panied by a woman. The Baptistes directed
him to John Williams Tomless Williams
is John Williams son, and Ellis Williams, a
boy Of IL, is the latter's son. Ellis says that
about sunset the man and woman reached
his grandfathers and stayed all night.
The man and woman left next morning,
going toward Tomless' place. Later the
boy and his grandfather went over toward
Tomless' farm, and there found the woman,
but not the man. The woman was crying.
TOmless made the boy mount his pony, put
the woman up behind him, and started
them up the mountain, John and TOmless
following with guns On the mountains
the boy was made to dismOunt and take
the woman into the woods. At this the
boy began crying again, and TOmless shot
the woman in the head. She fell on the
edge of gully, into which they rolled her
body, and piled rocks on it. Later they
found the body of the man, shot in the
forehead in gully, and also covered with
stones.

THE HAND OF DEATH

Norman T. Gassette> One of Chicago's
Rest Known Citizens, Called to the
Grave.
Norman T. Gassette, of Chicago, is dead
This sad event, which comes with a sud-
denness upon Chicago, will cause a shock
all over the country, for the deceased had
a wide circle of friends in all parts of the
United States. Mr.. Gassette passed away
after a weeks illness He was attacked
with the grip, but continued to attend to
his business matters until he became SO i'll
that he was obliged to go home. The grip
rapidly developed into pneumonia, and the
datter disease caused his death. Mr.. Gas
settle was one of the Oldest and most con-
sentative real estate dealers in Chicago,

TIED BY THE PRESIDENT
YOUNG MARTIN is IN SERIOUS
TROUBLE.

He Told His Companions that He Was
Going to $40 Up the President In
stead, the President Does Him Up''
Very Securely.
1t appears that the attempt to secure
the release of young Harry Martin, who
ATTEMPTED to break into the White House
when intoxicated the other night, with
out any punishment whatever will not
be successful. An effort, however, is
likely to be made to have the offense
charged against him changed, so that he
can plead guilty to it and pay q fine. A
change which has been suggested is that
he Will be charged with assaulting Po-
nCeman kenney, one of the officials Of
the White House.
1t is now learned that the assault was
of a more aggravated character than has
been supposed. 1t is said to be true that
young Martin, when crazed with LIQUOR
before he started TO the White House,
told some of his companions that he was
going "to do the President up" The
language attributed to him in words is:
81 am going to do up the President. If
it could be sustained in court, and the
President or the Government chose ,
prosecute, it would be a very serious Or
tense indeed. Under any other Govern
ment than this such conduct would not
be excused as drunken freak
1T appears that when Martin broke
through the window of the red parlor the
President himself came to the rescue,
and that he assisted the two police Off
GERS in capturing the young athlete. The
story is that President Harrison, on
hearing the noise and seeing the difficult
ty the policemen had in struggling with
the vOunU fellow himcplf OrOournd q roma
by cutting away one of the ropes that
fasten the curtains at the window, and
with the officers assistance bound Mar
tin securely. The President himself tied
the knot, being very much less excited
than the officers. The President has been
entreated by great number of infuen-
tial people since the event not to permit
any action to be taken against the young
man.

Not So Satisfactory as Could Be Wished,
but with Better Prospects.
Dun s. Co. Is weekly review of trade says:
Trade has been rather quiet and hesi-
taxing, as is natural at this season, and
there is rather more complaint Of slow col
lecti0ns, but throughout the Northwest bad
weather and the bad state of country roads
supply an explanation. Money is in fair

tight at Salt Lake and scarce at ia ckson-
Vile, and in stronger demand at Omaha
and Milwaukee, is almost everywhere cas-
Ter, so chat the wants of legitimate bust
ness are met without trouble. The outlook
for the coming crops continues exception
ally good. Wheat rose to $1.16s4, and at
$l.15% Is still 2 cents higher than week
ago, sales here having been 3,000,0 600 BUSH
els, and corn with sales OF $4,000, 0CO
bushels, and corn with sales OF $4,000. 900
bushels has risen AZ cents to 7s%
cents, while oats at 59M cents are less
than1 cent higher. Pork products have adj
Vanced, and coffee and oil a small fraction
each, while cotton is sixteenth lower.
The general average OF prices reached its
highest point this year, and though now
fraction lower is still 1 per cent. above last
week. But manufactured products do not
share in the advance, except in few cases.
The iron market has better tone. Copper
is weaker, tin steady, with lead "a shade
higher. Wool is selling steadily at Bos ton,
and the very large consumption Of Aus
Gra1ian is surprise. Carpet works at Phil
Ade1phi are fairly busy.

RACED WITH. A WATERsPOUT.
Thrilling Experience of a Norwegian
Steamer in West Indian Waters.

Thrilling Experience of Norwegian
Steamer in West Indian Waters.
At New York, the little Norwegian.
steamer America, came in from the West
Indies with story of a race with a
gigantic waterspOut. The steamer was
100 miles off Hatteras on March %,
making her way north in a moderate sea,
over which hung low and heavy Clouds,
Suddenly from the northwest, the direc-,
ton of the land. great waterspOut was
seen approaching. The America was
headed in the direction that would give
the spout wide BERTH but it came
down on the steamer so rapidly that
the captain put the vessel on a
northeasterly course and signaled the.
engineer to crowd on ali the steam. Then
it became a race between the waterspout,
and the little steamer. The former was
shaped like an hour glass. It's base was,
about thirty feet in diameter, and it ta
pered up for seventy feet, where it be-
came seemingly no more than foot in,
thickness. Then it spread out again,
and it's top was lost in the clouds. The
waterspOut was revolving from right to-
left with great rapidity and roaring like
small Niagara. The signal cannon of.
the America was loaded and run out
ready to fire at the approaching monster,
but the steamer won the race and the
spout passed fifteen feet astern of the
America.
The commoton of the water caused.
by the waterspout as it whirled by the
America lifted the vessels stern COM
pletely out of water.
