THE HOUSEHOLD.
First Motherhood.
GEORGE HORTON.

White as sheet is her delicate face,
Glrllshly sweet mid the linen and lace,
Motherly meet with its newgotten grace.
Go not away till she opens her eyes;
Deep in their gray turks wonderous surprise,
Bright as the day and pure as the skies!
Thrilling her breast is the heart of all love
Keen as the zest of the raptures above,
Tiger = unrest and the fear of the dove.
Bliss that was bred in a transport of pain,
Suffering fled out of ecstacy's reign
Fled now and dead though 1t lived not in vain!
This is bliss that no words can express;
Joy suCf- as this they refuse to confess.
Thoughts only miss when we deem that we gu ess.
Turned is the heart of the mother full soon;
LulIabies start there and many Groom
Sweeter than art and as old as loves boon.
Loves sea Is filled to its utmost deeps;
If it is stilled how enraptured it sleeps;
If it is thrilled how it trembes and leaps!
Wonderful power round humanity cast!
All in an hour and the old life is past.
Womonhood's flower is expanded at last!

A WvGfarv-

How the human system ever recovers
from the bad effects OF the nauseous
medicines often literally poured into it for
the suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver
complaint, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is a mystery. The mis-
chief done by bad medicines is scarcely
less than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, consti-
pated or rheumatic, would oftener be
guided by the experience of invalids who
have thoroughly tested Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they would in every in
stance obtain the speediest aid derivable
from rational medication. This medicine
is a searching and at the same time a
thoroughly safe remedy, derived from
vegetable sources. and possessing, in con-
sequence of its basis of pure spirits,
properties as medicinal stimulant not
to be found in the fiery local bitters and
stimuiants often resorted to by the debili-
tated, dyspeptic and languid.

country had been hridged over and he
pledged the delegates the support of
the Farmers Alliance in any efforts to

EXCITEMENT IN RAILROAD CIRCLES
lhe Chicago and Grand Trunk People Cause
State of CONSERVATION.

state VI Vonsternatl0n.
CHICAGO, Oct. ga rupture in the
Central Traffic Association is one ofthe
probabilities of the near future. The
Chicago and Grand Trunk people
have grown tired of losing business
through the irregular practices of
competing lines and have resolved
upon course of action that will no
doubt precipitate a row. Tomorrow
the road will repudiate the Chicago
switching tariff aud will notify ship
pers that it will hereafter receive
freight at all points without
making any charge for switching.
rms Will be equivalent to a very ma
terial reduction in rates. it is claim
ed by the Grand Trunk officials that
other lines have been securing more
than their share of business by Sc
cretly doing away with switching
charges, and they have determined
to DO openly what they insist is being
done clandestinely by their competi,
ors. Moreover, there is reason
to believe that this action
of the Grand Trunk is sim
ply preliminary to something
more startling that is to follow. AS
early as Wednesday, perhaps, that
will make an announcement
that is calculated to create genuine
CONSERVATION among the roads in the
central Traffic association. Just
what this announcement will be is
Known only to the officials of the
company, and they are not ready to
rive it out as yet. The supposition is
hat it will be no less than u " tn
travail Of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk from the association.

ss& QUEEN City, Tex, Oct. 26.-The
negro, Lee Green, who murdered the
family of farmer Lowe, seven miles
west of Queen City Saturday,
was arrested last night near
Kildare and hurried to Jail at
Linden. A crowd appeared at the
Jail at o O'Clock this morning and de-
minded the keys from the sheriff,s
wife, who was forced to deliver them.
The determined men who composed
the party took Green from the Jail
and locked the doors and delivered
the Keys back to Mrs. Lauier, the
sheritf's wife, the sheriff being alb
sent with a posse hunting the negro.
They took him to the scene of the
tragedy and turned him over to the
husband of themurdered woman, who
obtained a full confession from him.
Green acknowledged he did the
deed for the money, $50, and killed
the family to avoid detection. He at
first implicated three other negroes,
gbut finally said no one aided him, but
another negro shared in the gain. The
last mentioned negro is in custody,
awaiting further developments. Ali
day long from the adjoining counties,
as well as from all parts of this county,
people continued to arrive at Mr..
loves farm.
At 2:30 p. m. a trace chain was placed
about Green's neck and fastened to
persimmon tree so as to hold him in a
standing position. At this stage of
the proceedings forty-siX negro men
piled faggots high up around him and
an old negress touched the match to
it and in few minutes mis- soul passed
into eternity, only fifty-three hours
behind those of his victims. The
crowd numbered from 500 to l000 both
black and white. Mrs. Low and
child were buried side by side in
common grave. The other child is do
ing well and is out of danger.

EDIsON's LATEST INVENTION.
1t is Scheme that will Revolutionize Rail
road Travel.


CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-"In the course
of a few years the locomotive of today
will be hut rarely seen," said General
Superintendent Collins of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul road, in
speaking Of inventor Edison's latest
project in the electric motive line.
1.-The companies will be quick enough
to take it up for their own use as every
one is on the alert for progression and
will gladly welcome anything new
gand practical, as think this mOtoris.n
Assistant General Manager Wood
of the Chicago and Alton road
thought the invention would revOlu.
tionize traffic, and the cash it would
save could be used to keep the road
bed in repair. The higher rate Of
speed the engine travels, he said, the
heavier and more firm must the road
bed be- rhe expenses of constantly
attending to the road bed, ballast,
rails and ties will about eat up all that
could be saved by lessening
the running expenses. Mr.. Edison
has a great invention ana the rail
roads of the country will eventually
take it mp, but | tn nix it will be some
time before they do so. There are SO
many engines in use and they repre-
sent such enormous expenditure OF
money that the railroad companies
,,,;ll NOT ba in onv ornot haste tO set
