ONLY A WORD.
BY EDITH RANDALL.

BY EDITH RANDALL
Only 8 word but what comfort it brought
To the Borrowing heart that was burdened
with grief;
ONLY q word, but il brought such relief
To the soul that FOR sympathy vainly had
sought
Oa!y q word, yet word may contain
All the feelings that lie in the breast OF q
friend,
And to one who has promised to love to the
end
A thoughtless word spoken may cause lasting
pain.
Only a word, but It pierced like knife.
For twas spoken in anger when conscience
had fed;
Though tire word be forgiven it can never be
unsaid.
And the scar of the wound may be carried
through life.
Only q word, bur how little we know
What q harvest may spring from the SEED
that strew
When we utter q word-but jfChly We knew,
More careful te'd be Of 1Bseed that we SOW.

OMAHA, Neb.. July 24.--A veritabls
bomb was exploded in Nebraska stats
politics by the announcement Of Hon.
j. G. Watson. chairman OF the Repub-
ican state central committee, that
General 1hayer, who was declared gov
ernor after the failure of James E. Boyd
to qualify fer the position, could not
hold over and that tho committee would
shortly be called together for the pur-
pose OF considering the nomination.
The chairman states that he Is con-
fidcnt Thayer cannot hold over, and says
that the ablest lawyers In the state have
taken similar position. The matter
has been submitted to the attorney
general. This announcement compli-
Gates matters, in view Of the fact that
the Republican supreme court rather
intimated in the quo-warranto proceed

hold over until 1892. This idea Is In
line, however, with Alliance and Demo-
cratic ideas and it is now quite certain
that Nebraska will be disturbed by q

Americans The men held q consulta-
tion and unanimously
Refused to Accept the Reduction.
As soon as it was definitely known that
the rock men would not go into the
mine Foreman Connor dispatched mes
sage to the barn acks, where the company
had installed their recent importations,
and in d few minutes body of newly
