ID. u. GIIlhnm's Murderer.

SPRINGFIELD, H., March 21.-There
have been different claimants to the
reward offered for the burglars who
murdered the Hon. ID. b. Gillian Of
Alton two years ago. Mr.. GiIlham's
son and son-in-law contested the right
of +. f. Sherman of Kansas City, who
claims that he only took the Gillhams
into his confidence in working the
case. The $500 offered by Mrs. Gill
ham cut more figure in the matter than
did the $500 offered by the Governor.
The case was heard by Governor Fifer
yesterday and decided in favor of Mr..
Sherman.

We have need Of joyous singing
In the gray old world to-day,
Songs TO cheer the weary traveller
o the rough and thorny way;
We have had enough of sorrow
And its bitter wall of grief,
And we gladly hail the music
Of the grander new belief.
There's a welcome for the sunshine
In the saddened heart Of man:

Ever Stree the world began.
II will chase the gloomy shadows
From the weary travellers way,
Lighting up the road with glory,
Brighter at the close of day.
We are waiting for the kindness
Of cheerful, friendly heart,
For the message to the loneiy
DwelIers of the world apart;
There's enough Of gloomy silence,
Selhahness ard greed Of gold,
But the world need not grow colder
Just because its growing old.
We are ready or the summer,
We are ready for the flowers,
When the genial sun shall cheer us
Through the long, sweet dreary hours.
We can bear the dreary winter,
But We long for gentle spring.,
W ueu the trees EEHlj DUO ana DiDSrDi-
And the bluebirds softly sing.
So we wait and long for singers
Who shall sing the good and true,
Flowers and birds and days of sunshine,
Where the skies are always blue;
Deeds Of love and hope for future,
Kindness To our brother man:4
We are waiting for this singer
Have been sjuce the world began.
For royal welcome waits him
And the songs that he shall sing,
To hi- feet the longing nations
VIII their richest offerings bring.
We have hal enough Of sadness,
And our world Is growing cid;
And We wait the day the prophets
When the world vas young fOretOld.

Small Fruit Fertilizers.

Fertilizers for smaIl fruit demand at
tention now. Some of the sails used are
very soluble, some slowly soluble, and
others only sparingly soluble in a large
amount of water. Nitrate of soda being
a very soluble salt should not be applied,
toe early, but the suIphate or muriate of
potash may be applied in March. It is
best, when fertilizers are scattered on
plants, such as matted rows of strawber-
ries, that it be done after the dew is off
When fertilizers can be applied to the
ground near the roots, instead of on the
plants, it should be preferred.
