And wondered shOu d meet you here's
And. sweet Il times Il seemed
That all ms Iife's light would so out
Into a waste so drear,
II, when Ihe shadows fell about,
failed to find you here.
All surely there's lesson to
Be learned in love like this.
Naught save the hand OF heaven, dear.
Could bring such bOundlesS bliss.
Not tbat love my Maker less;
His world Is made more bright
When l can feel your fond caress,

He Exhibited a Deadly Weapon in a Rude
and Threatening Manner.
A jury in department. No. l of the district
court yesterday found Ralph Wells, Jr..
guilty of exhibiting a deadly weapon in a
rude and threatening manner. He was
found guilty of the misdemeanor some time
tgo before Justice Fleischer nd appealed.
from the evidence IL appeared that Wells
and Jacob Darby had a contest over a ranch
ON Wolf creek, which was decided against
Wells in tho land Office. Wells had some
wood piled up on the ranch and one even
ing stopped at the place. Darby Game out
End commenced cutting some wood from
ppne of his own piles. Wells looked his
lewood over n saw that some of it was
eRone and accused Darby of taking 1t.
lDarby denied that he had taken any and
itssaid that Wells then told him ho had better
! mot and called him a vile NAME. They had
aihome words and Darby testified that Wells
out a pistol and cooked il, but did
odot point it at MIN. On the trial Wells de-
hihied that he had a pistol. Testimony was
Ihtlso given to impeaoh the Darby Ges.

The largest check ever received by any
company for insurance on the life of a sin
gle individual has just been given to the
Mutual Life by MIR. James j. Hill, of st.
Paul, "a q single premium for a 800, 900
%consol, with a life income guaranteed al
$l2,4 400 annually from age sixty-four, be-
sides full participation in the company's
surplus and O mortuary allotment in case of
DEATH In a similar transaction through
the came departments the Havemeyer family
paid In 1890 a single premium Of $578, 345
for five policies of 800, 600 each. with guar
sntaed Incomes beginning in ten years.
Both of these payments were up to that
time tho largest ever paid for life insurance
and could only have boon secured ON the
Mutual Life's new policy, which combines
In one contract (l) II guaranteed life insur-
ance. with contingent additions in case OF
death; (2) a guaranteed endowment, and
t3) guaranteed life income, with full
profits, on the snryivorship distribution
plan. In the Havemeyer and the Hill cases
preferred to Ray thsir premiums in full in
one sum. But this form of insurance is
equally adapted to persons OF moderate
means as well as to tho rich; and premiums
may he pad annually for Il term of years,
or in one payment. Tbs magnitude of
these transactions mark the most progress

Question AS to Whether the Audito.
rum Quarters VIII Be
Charged For.
It To Likely To BE Settled by the
City Council This
Evening.
h Arguments Which Are Used by tn o
Friends and The Opponents OF tho
Proposition.

The city council will tonight consider
The proposition to charge the public lib AIRY
rent for the quarters in the auditorium
building. At the last meeting of thu coun-
Gil. 1t will be remembered, the trustees OF
the library asked for and had inserted in
the tax levy the half a mill tax, instead of
the thrse-tenths Of a mill, as 1t had been
for several years. Some of the aldermen
objected to the increase ON the ground that
the city had just one to an enormous ex-
psnso In building the auditorium, and
claimed that the trustees should be salts
fed with q three-tenths mill tax for awhile
anyhow. On tho other hand il was stated
that the trustees would be put to ain mus
uni expense in their new quarters in fitting
UP and buying new books. When 1t was
found that the city charter originally called
for half a mill tax. and shat the change to
thres-tenths mill was illegal, the council
raised the levy as requested by tho trustees.
They then sat about to find a way TO get
some of the money back, and various prop
sition were made to charge the library
rent. One alderman proposed to make it
$3.50 a month. and amendments
were offered to reduce this
amount Dy various sums. Inc lowest PROV
osition was for 300 a month. The matter
was referred to the committee ON public
buildings. who are expected to report to-
night. Up to yesterday afternoon they had
not agreed upon any course. but the pre-
vailinR opinion seemed to be in favor of
charging a moderate rent. The half a mill
tax, they say, will produce something like
$780, 600. The three-tentLa mill tax would
have produced about $4,000. This makes
the ~receipts for the library fund about
$4. 600 more than they would have been I'M
der the reduced tax. Some of the commit
tee think 1t would be proper to charge the
library $1,000 a year for the pres
emit quarters and let the trustees
pay for the lights. This would.
they say. still leave the library about $4,000
better off than it would havs been with the
smaller tax. Other aldermen, however, fla
yor letting the library get the full benefit of
the additional tax this year, so that the
money can be expended in the purchase of
books, the putting up of shelves and the
prepal alton OF q new catalogue. After this
year, they say, when the library is in good
condition every way, the city can begin to
charge the trustees rent. As the city saves
the ST., 500 rent ID paid for leased rooms
before it got into the auditorium, they
argue that the city is just that much ahead,
anyhow. and should let the matter rest for
this year, at least.
