And of peeping stars above;
The waves of the flowing river

For hours they sat and whispered
The story that never grows old.

And she--well. she wasn't cold
Blue eyes were big and tender.
Long arms soon gathered her in.
He swore By his wealth of affection
She was all the world to him.
There's a sigh of sweet contentment,
There's lily white hand on his heart.
Two lips are upturned moonward.
A long kiss ere they part
She gently draws herself from him

position. He cites the case of the railroads
skirting the Main river from Frankfurt to
Mayence, in Germany. A few years ago
Frankfurt found her industries drifting into
a condition of stagnation and accomplished
the deepening of the Main river to be used
as ship canal Not only did the water
traffic increase enormously, but the rail-
roads on each side increased their volume
of transportation more than 40 per cent the
first year and upwards of so pei. cent the
second. Mr.. Thompson asserts that every

The Liquor Law.

The Shawnee County Alliance adopted
the following resolutions at itS regular
meeting December 2, 1892:
Res0lved, That we request the state leg
islature to amend the liquor law 80 as to
destroy the monopoly now enjoyed bv the
druggist, and provide for the sale Of in
toxicating liquors for medical, nAechsni-
cal and scientific purposes through state
agents; such agents to receive q stated
salary based upon the number Of inhabi-
tants OF the district assigned, without
reference to the amount OF liquor sold,
that the people may be supplied with
pure unadulterated liquors for lawful
purposes at actual cost connected with
the purchase and sale OF the same. and
that the various abuses of the present
drug store system may be abolished.
ResolUed, That we invite all county and
sub Alliances Of the state to join in this
request, by forwarding resolutions on the
subject to the ADVOCATE, Topeka, at the
earliest date possible.
The State Temperance Union, at its re-
cent county convention, adopted resolu-
tions Of similar import, and appointed
Amanda M. Way, J. r. Detwiler. J. A.
Murray, l. y. Pickering and Richard
Wake as a committee to bring the mat
ter before the legislature.
We give the above resolutions place,
not with the expectation Of publishing
the resolutions of sub-Alliances and
county Alliances that may be adopted in
accordance with the request here ex-
pressed. Space would not permit this.
It is the desire of the committee having
the matter in charge to collect the ex-
preston Of the Alliances upon the sub
ject, and with this view their resolutions
are requested to be sent tothe ADVOCATE

The Advocate" Told You So.

LoU1svILLE, KY, December 1.--(Sps-
cial Cores pondence to the New York
Voice THE National Union Company,
the organization through which the
cordags trust carries on its general
store business, and which was fully ex-
posed in the Voice last January, has been
sued by the Kentucky Farmers and La
borers' Union for attempting to leave
this state without liquidating debt Of
$l5,0OO due the state union.
The plaintiff claims to have sold the
defendant all the stores and agencies
owned by it in Kentucky on October To-
1891, and to have received therefor
thirty second debenture bonds Of $500
each. Tne bonds were to mature in
thirty years, during which semi
monthly dividend of 6 per cent. was to
be paid. The defendant, the plaintiff
claims, has resold most OF the stores in
this state to the Kentucky Mercantile
Company, and is now preparing to re-
move from the state without leaving
enough property here to satisfy the debt
of $4,000 which the plaintiff holds
against it. The removal is charged with
the intention of defrsuding creditors,
and the plaintiff prsys an attachment
against the defendent, and asks that the
property Of the National Union Company
be turned over to a receiver and con-
verted into money for the benefit of
creditors.
