AN ANTIQUE.

She gazed at the tall old clock on the stair;
Twas a relic of days long fed,
A costly timepiece, n treasure rare,
But lately purchased and perched up there.
"a quaint old gemi" she said,
sid you stand in some old colonial hall,
Where the freight aickered red
On polished floor and on Carven wall
Where fell the shadows of chair backs tall
And straightly stifiY' she said.
"Did you look perchance on winsome maid
Alasl a century dead
Softly demure and sweetly staid,
In tortoise shell comb and gay brocade
With a very short waistln she said.
"Did you see her lover, a comely swain
Attending his stately head
To touch her lips and TO touch again,
TIL her fair cheek warmed with crimson
stain?
Oh, quaint old geml" she said.
"oh, the wondrous pictures once known to
you'll
And the tales that you have read"
But the tall old clock fetched grin TO view.
n wonder what she'd remark II she knew
was made last week." IL said.

Mrs. Mossman Was petrined.

In June, 1884, Mrs. Abigail Mossman
was inferred at the Hazelwood cemetery
in Poweshiek county, Ia. Not long since
relatives determined TO remove the re-
mains to another cemetery. The work
men engaged to perform the job found
the coffin filed to overfowing with red
colored mineral water. This was drained
off, whereupon it was found that the
corpse, with the exception of the fingers
and toes, was perfectly petrifed. The
hair was perfectly natural, as was also a
bouquet Of roses that lay on her breast.
After thorough examination by rels-
tives and friends the coffin was again
closed and covered inst. Louis Re

CASHIER KOETTING INDICTED BY
THE GRAND JURY.

Milwaukee, Oct. 1S.-The grand jury
made a partial report to Judge Wall
Der this morning, which included an
Indictment of John B. Koetting, cashier
of the defunct South Side Savings bank.
There was but really one person in
dicted in the report and that was John
3. Koetting, against whom a number
of indictments are found, charging il
legal banking in various forms and at
different times.
Proper papers were served on KOet-
ting at the jail this afternoon and he
will be arraigned in court tomorrow
morning.
Koe,u.ng reached the city at l clock
this morning accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Lacy and his bondsman H S.
Kopmeier Sheriff Dunn met them in
Chicago.
Koetting was taken directly to the
county jail. He looks well in spite of
the fact that he says he has been i'll
and that he went to Mexico for his
healtn. He considers Mexico Il more
heaIthful place than Milwaukee. Koet-
ting says that he did not intend to
fail to appear at his hearing.
He says he was so i'll that he could
not come and he wrote to his relatives
asking that the hearing be postponed.
The letter reached Mr.. KOpmeier and
he ,,N immediate steps to bring Koet-
ting back. He and Mr.. Lacy started for
Monterey, Mexic, when Koeting was
at a sanitarium.
Koetting was ready to return with
them and at no time on the journey
did he make any trouble. Nh. Kop
meier paid the travelling expenses U
himself and KoeUmng.

ALL FOR THE CHILDREN.
Their Week al the Fair VIII Be a Grand
Affair.

Chicago, Oct. 1G.-Beaut:ful autumn
weather smiled on the opening OF chill
dren's week at the worlds fair. All
the public schools are closed for the
entire week: the admission for children
under Is years is reduced to 10 cents
and TO make sure none should be barred
out by reason of lacking that amount
or the price of transportation to the
fair grounds. the citizens have con
tributed money to buy tickets by the
thousands TO give them, and pay the
fares on railroads and steamboats,
which have made special rates for the
week.
Others have arranged that little peo-
pie shall not lack for something to eat
because they have not the wherewithal
TO pay for it. Sandwiches and other
edibles in quantities are provided for
them. The fair officials have also ar
ranged 4 series of entertainments spe-
cially for their benefit, from games in
he stock pavilion to concerts by tomtom
heaters from the midway
At noon the youngsters, who have
been troOping in all day by the thous-
ands. rang the liberty bell in honor of
Bestolozzi, Frobe- and Horace Mann,
friends Of education.
Plans to make the last day at the
fair grander than Chicago day in ev-
cry respect are being formulated by
the directory. The first steps towards
closing the exposition in a glorious
manner on Oct. 81, were taken today.
A resolution was passed declaring it
the sense Of the directors that the date
should be used to further honor the dis
coverer by calling it Columbus day,
and another resolution extends formal
and urgent invitation to President
Cleveland and his cabinet to lend their
presence to the memorable occasion.
The executive committee will set
about to plan many and diversified at
fractions for the final day, which is
expected even to eclipse the wonderful
record of the day set apart for the mu-
The directory has not, and
will not take any action toward keep
ing the fair open after Oct. 81, in spite
of the senseless talk to that effect that
is being given by some Chicago news
papers. There will, of course, be much
to see after the final day and admis-
sions will be probably so cents for three
thousands of workmen busy removing
exhibits and beginning the dismantling
of the buildings.
