At spelling school recently held
It the Mystic Valley school house,
.hree little girls sang the following
'Ong, which the teacher had composed
or the occasion:
Oh we're happy trio.
or the Mystic Valley school,
The merry. merry trio
With wisdom for our rule
In ciphering and spelling
We're not the very best.
But teacher says that after while
Wen put you TO the test.
Chorus
Oh the happy trio.
or the Mystic Valley school,
The merry. merry trio,
With wisdom for our rule;
You may beat US spelling
And In the ciphering match
But for our singing and good looks
You wouldn't make patch.
There's Silver Creek so very great,
For learning and for fame,
With ciphering and spelling
lmm0rtallZe their name;
And with their Homer so renoun'd.
With all the schools do vie,
And TO be beaten. oh no, no!
They'd much the rather die.
Cherus:-
Now there's Geneva so romantic,
Who sit up half the night,
To practice for the matches
OF spelling and the like.
We know you have your Sir Edmonds,
And that renowned Ray,
But after We have practiced I'D,
Oh then-just get away.
Chorus:-
Another school not far away
Presents itself eo view,
With all its many AndersOns
And Demuths not few.
The name OF this illustrious school
They call II Pleasant Hill.
But II you've come to spell US down
Well, perhaps you'll fill the bill.
Chorus;-
Now there's prophetic Shiloh,
With its ancient Levi tribe.
Who Oh the aged record
Have their bright name inscribed
But when we raise our mystic veil
And meet you face TO face,
You'll know your not the only ones
OF that wei favored race.
ChOrus:-
You college folks OF Conway Springs.
We greet you with our words.
We know you have professors
And Cranes and other birds:
And you may have learning, too.
In science and in art
But II you've come 10 spell with Us
Wen try TO do our part.
Chorus.
Our number IL is very small.
We're only just sixteen,
But when our teens we've got beyond
Well do much more ween.
You larger schools we welcome you
We're very glad you came.
And whOsOe'er the laurels win
You're welcome just the same
Chorus.

Sam Sawyer departed last week for
California, where he will join his fam
lily in their future home. Sam was
one OF the old landmarks Of Caldwell
and a familiar figure on our streets.
On Monday c. NJ. Johnston, one Of
our most prominent farmers and who
is well known as raiser Of very fine
cattle, made shipment of flfty-three
head Of mixed cattle, consisting
mostly Of fine short horn HerefOrds,
to Kansas City. We saw them in
town before they were shipped and
they were as pretty as sight in live
stock as one could wish TO see. fat
sleek and suggestive of tender steaks
and Juicy rOasts.

South Haven New Era.

The fruit is somewhat injured By
the late freeze, but we believe there
will still be an abundance to supply
all demands. A good fruit year in
this country means an outright waste
of more fruit than is consumed or
cared for, which doesn't benefit any
body and is not TO be desired this
year especially, when a visitation OF
cholera to this country is possible.
After the freeze of week before last.
some pieces Of wheat showed up very
yellow in spots, and the blades seemed
to be dead. There was a difference
Of opinion as to the cause and also as
to the extent of the damage done.
some thinking the damage was ner-
manent. The latter view, However.
we are happy to say, was entirely
wrong, the yellow blades having m
tirely disappeared. What We want
now is good rain and this country
will blossom as the rose.

The dry weather is now affecting
the wheat very seriously. Some Of our
farmers are tillhOpeful, while Others
are despOndent. From the best in
formation we have, we judge that if
rain comes in few days and the
weather continues favorable, there
will be about half crop in this local
ity.

BERLIN. May 2.-The army-bill compro-
mise arranged between Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Freherr Won Huene, the
Clerical leader, contains these details:
The peace effective shall be created by
$4,000 men at once, aud in the course OF
the next three years shall be raised grndu-
ally until 20 900 men, or practically the full
number demanded recently by the Chan
cellor, shall have been added TO the pres
ent standing army. The sixty new bat
teries of field artillery shall have four in
stead of SIX guns each. BY the conces-
slOns thus indicated the expenditures
contemplated by the army bill will be re-
duced 100000 marks.
Caprlvis supposed utimd'lrm some three
weeks ago called for the addition at once
OF 30 900 TO the peace effective. While now
abating this demand partially he obtains
as an eyentuaity more than he was be-
lieved to have the slightest chance OF OBJ
tanning.
THE OUTLOOK.
just what the result of the arrangement
between him and Freiherr Won Huene Will
be IS still in doubt. The government
has not vet received a majority. Tho
eventual success of efforts to obtain this
depends on the following Frelherr Won
Huene can obtain among the Clerlcals and
upon the number of Radicals willing 70
cut loose from Eugene Richter and sup
port the Huene- Rickert- BAN berger group
IN voting for the bill. Both are still un-
certain quantities.
The Emperor's arrival is awaited with
anxiety, as all is believed TO depend upon
the influence which he can exert upon the
party leaders. Emperor William has tele-
graphed his approval of the compromise.
The telegram was laid on the table IN the
Reichstag.
The local members of the Reichstag are
meeting this evening TO decide upon their
attitude toward Won HLene's arrange
Incnt with the Chancellor. 1t ~ reported
that the Conservatives, lmperaists, many
National Liberals. twenty Radicals, the
will vote for the amended bill. II Frelherr
Won Huene can carry with him fairly
large number Of Clerlcals the compromise
Will get majority.
THE RADICALS QUABRELLING.
The Radicals are in hot domestic quar-
rel over the bill and the proposed changes.
Last evening they held caucus. which,
| from beginning TO end, was exceedingly
stormy. Eugene Richter spoke vehement
ly against the bill. either IA il Is or as it
| will be under the Caprivi-liuene arrange
ment. and advised united opposition to
| the government. lie drew up an amend
ment which virtually negatives the whole
| bill, but secured the signatures to 1t Of
| only forty-one of the slXty-seven Radical
| deputies. Among the twenty-slX who did
not sign are at all events a score OF votes
