Another American Poet.

A small volume of poems, called "The Flaming Meteor," recently published, stamps it's author, Will Hubbard-Ker- nan, as poet of rare genius. One writer has hkened him to Edgar Allan Poe, whom perhaps he most resembles in the type of his poetic inspiration and some- what in character as well. MT. Kernan's book is fitly named, for it is all fire and flame and passion. Some of the strange themes that inspire his muse arc classi- fled under headings like the following: "Poems of Pessimism," Melodies of Misogamy," "Poems of Passing Moods" and "Agnostic Arguments" From these headings can be gathered the thoughts that occupy the poets mind. He is not hater of women apparently, but he seems to have somehow an unquenchable spite against matrimony. He planes it with bringing untold evils upon the world. He writes:
 Tho King Curse of curses that walk through the world
 Is wedlock!
 In this collection we find Kenneth, My Kingl" an exquisite piece of verse that drifted through the newspapers several years ago. A poem of weird, terrible intensity is entitled "In tho Jungle" It begins;
 Tiger, tiger, in thy lair, Thou hast torn his limbs npart; Oh, the white bones lying therel Oh. the red half eaten heart! Oh. the yellow locks beside thee That often kissed and ourled--
 Yet no hell fire will betido thee In the waste beyond tho world.
 In some of his verses MT. Herman shows power and fire not oxcelled by any living poet who writes in the Eng. fish language on either side of the water, and as time goes on this will become moro and moro manifest to the public. A passionate lovo of liberty, mournful consciousness that things are out of joint both with the world and himself, arG the motive of many of the poems, but at times the writer Durst5 .".C .,..c :. : grand swinging march of music that fills all the aiy and inspires the soul. Some of the poems of this sort would make ad- mirablo elocutionary rccitations. Such a rhythmic melody is Progress of tAe Peoples" from which we extract few stanzaS:
 | Upward, upward press the peoples to that pure, exalted plane | Where no throne shall cast q shadow and .U slave shall wear chain.
 They havo tramplcd on the fNgots, on the cru. | cihx and wheel,
 Danished block and thong and hem!ock anI the headsman's bloody steel. They arc lighting lamps of freedom on a mil. lion altar ftORes | With the torches they havo kindled at tin blaze of burning thrOncs.
 And thig light vii! sweep and circle to tho very ends of earth,
 l Touching with immortal beauty every heart and every hearth.

We are going to make the most of our Worlds fair while we have it. The proposition now is to turn it into some thing like travelling circus, and after it closes in Chicago reopen it fin San Fran cisco under the name of the California Midwinter International exposition. To that end the United States senate passed the bill permitting European workmen and dutiable goods to be tranferred from Chicago to the Pacific coast city.

repairing a cable.


The cables of suspension bridge are
subjected 10 great strains, and are therefore
firmly anchored at each shore end to heavy
masses of masonry. generally by means of
long bars Of iron or steel having holes at
each end by which they are bolted or pinned
together. In examining the anchorage Of
one end of the smaller suspension bridge at
Niagara one Of these bars was found TO be
broken. and the problem of replacing it was
quite difficult, since the wires attached TO

IN place as they had when the old bar was
intact The new bar was formed of piece

quarters of an inch thick. with hole in one

bolted to it.
This band was designed to pass around
an iron bar in the Rbutment and resist the
pun of the wires When the band had
been placed about this pin in the masonry
and bolted to its bar the latter was careful

kiplIpr as an Indian sourpaIist.

In The Idler Mr.. Rudyard Kipling gives
some amusing particulars of his early jour
nalistic experiences Mr.. Kipling. as every
body knows, began his literary career in a
humble way on the staff of an Indian paper.
He tells how at this period he was painfully
shocked at tie discovery that a subcditor
was paid to subedit and not hired to write
verses.
Later on, however, he became an editor
and had a subeditor who was saturated
with Ella" and wrote very pretty essays in
the manner Of Charles Lamb, when he
ought to have been subediting Then it
was that Mr. Kipling understood what his
editor must have suffered on his account
Now, however, Mr.. Kipling's verse was in
demand-at least in one quarter.

He was a Moslem of culture. He would
say, your pottery very good, sir; just com

The Grange is to let, and it sleeps in decay,
With the yews all awry In the brier strewn

Trailing shrubs. tangled beds in unlimited woe;

And the afternoon sun beaming faint on the

When Jim's busy shoes sounded gathering

Little face, pretty head that the brown ringlets

Nor any sweet face that the hope will descry.
Great blinds staring white on the flint crested

Des Arc school.

The Des Arc school closed Friday,
February oath, and those who failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity OF
witnessing the closing exercises, missed
quite a treat indeed. The afternoon
was devoted to the recitation of appro-
pirate pieces by the children. They all
acquitted themselves well, and showed
that great care had been taken in pre-
pairing their recitations. But it only
exemplified the same painstaking care
that has characterized teacher and pu-
pill. throughout the entire term of
school. 1t was our privilege to visit
the school but once previous to the
closing day, but we were favorably
impressed by the good order that pre-
vailed, and the manner in which the
school was conducted. We think that
Mr.. Vail the principal, and Miss Town
send, assistant teacher, have a keen
realization of the duties and RESPONSE
bihties of teacher. Their work here
was of the kind that is enduring, and
we wish them success in their work of
teaching SO well begun in Des Arc.
Quite number of the patrons of the
school were present to show their APP
probation of what had been done dur
ing the term, and after the exercises
were over, short speeches were made
by Rev. Hesse and Mr.. Crowley. Mr..
Vail closed the school with a short
talk to his pupils, which was full of
good advice, and kindly sympathy.
Oh, it does us good to witness these
scenes. 1t brings to our minds, the
most pleasant days of our livesLthe
days of our childhood-when we were
children at the old s'deestrict" school.

A shocking murder was committed
at Vulcan, little station four miles
south of here, Friday. A man sup
posed to be about fifty years of age,
was shot through the head just above
and little back of the ears. Death
must have been instantaneous, for the
poor fellow, when found had his fingers
locked over his knees. His shoes were
off, and one of his legs was badly
swollen, and it is supposed that he had
just finished dressing his lame leg and
was lying with his hands clasped over
his knees and might have been asleep
when the fatal ball entered his brain.
From papers found upon his person,
his name is supposed to be George
Arnold. From the best evidence that
we can obtain, the crime was com
mitted by young man named Under
wood, who is son-in-law of Wesley
Sisk, the constable. Mr.. Sisk's little
boy went home and told Underwood
and shot at him, and Underwood killed
the tramp to avenge the boy. but as nc
weapon was. found upon the tramp, the
boys story was evidently hoax. The
ball with which Arnold was killed, has
since been recovered. Coroner Hull
viewed the body. and the jury impan-
eled by him, brought in verdict Of
murder in the first degree, and laid the
crime at Underwood's door. Awarran1
