In the ripcncd glow Of her stately grace;
And frown comes over his Swallowed face
As he says; Tho world has grown asltov,
My dear, since we were young-we two.
Nothing that was is the same to-day;
Old-timc fancics are cast away;
All our scruplcs are laughed 10 scorn:
All our customs are quito outworn;
Each Is seeking for something new
We were content with the old--wo two"
Into the shade Of the grim old room.
Steal two forms through the twilights gloom.
Grandfather's eyes are sharp TO see,
And deep voice utters tenderly:
For aye will love, and love but you,
And wen follow love TO the end-we two
Grandfather's face has lost It's irown,
And his eyes growp softer gaze gently down
On the par who naught OF his watching know
And grandmother smiles and whispers low;
One thing goes on as It used 10 do

Bureau of Information.

"The Burlington" has recently estab-

CANT and commodious passenger station,
at Chicago. an Office designed to afford
travellers information on the thousand

and convenience to the travelling public.
All trains of the Burlington" enter and
depart from this station, and the intelli-
gent and valuable service of the Bureau

line.
A special pamphlet will be issued by

The Populist Stronghold.

Special to the Denver Rocky Mountain News.
WA-KEENEY, Kan, June 20.-Gover-
nor Lewelling and Secretary of State R..
S. Osborn have accepted an invitation
to speak at Wa-Keeney on the Fourth.
The citizens are putting forth every eff
fort to make this the largest celebration
in Central Kansas, and hope to have at
fractions sufficient to draw from distant
counties. The fact that this is becom-
ing one of the strongest of the people
party is readily recognized by the &C.
tiOns of some of the alleged leaders of
the G. 0. p. Their defeat is too CALLING
to admit of silence and acquiescence.
The author of the above shows his
dense ignorance in locating Wa-Keeney
in Central Kansas, but it is not that OF
which we feel impelled to take notice.
1t is the dastardly spirit that prompted
the dispatch. An announcement of a
Fourth of July celebration is always in
order, but to make partisan capital, at
the same time, by assailing any political
party is something that only an inf
nitessimally small-minded individual
would be guilty Of.
That there should be no politics in a
Fourth of July celebration will be ad-
mitted by all except anarchists and
communists.
1t is not even necessary to read the
above between the lines to understand
that our coming celebration is populist
celebration and to call it anything else
would be misnomer.
That dispatch was intended to create
the idea to populists that next Fourth OF
July would be populist day at Wa-Kee-
ney, and that some of the alleged leaders
of the g. o. p. would not acquiesce in
the prostitution of the day in such a
manner It might have been added that
republicans generally-and patriots
will not acquiesce.
We appeal to every fair-minded man
to read the above carefully and then say
if we are mistaken in our construction

AFTER FARMERS VOTES.
Populists Will Begin the Campaign
With Big Picnics.

Special to the Kansas City Times.
Topeka, Kan. June 19.-The peoples
party campaign has been fairly opened
by an attempt to revive the political
picnics which were so successful In 1890,
when the Farmers Alliance was in the
zenith of it's power and when the new
party was conducting it's business with
a grip and pass word. The first of a
series of big picnics was held in Barton
county last week.
These picnics are part of well prepar-
ed programmes for capturing the county
officers this year. The state central
committee has picked out all of the
counties in the state in which the vote
of last November was close. Counties
in which either the republicans or pop
ulists had a decided majority will be
left to take care of themselves. All of
the forces of the committee will be con-
centrated in the close counties. The
picnic part of the programme will be in
charge of w. L. Brown, secretary of the
state senate. In these picnics every at
traction that is pleasing to the rural
mind will be provided to draw out the
crowds which will then be addressed by
the populist statesmen. The women
will be enlisted in the cause and will
lend their assistance in working up en-
thusiasm among the lukewarm brothers.
The Fourth of July is to be the great
est picnic day of all. Elaborate prepa-
rations have been made in every Con-
gressional district in the state for a
grand celebration, at each of which peo-
ple's party orators alone will be given
an opportunity to talk. Every state Off
Ger is booked for a political speech on
July 4. This custom Of the peoples
party OF making of Independence Day a
time for political partisan discussion
was inaugurated in 1891. The success
which attended then was so marked that
it was repeated last year. and will be
again this year.
The rural vote must be captured and
picnics and fireworks, sandwiched In
with plenty of oratory and ginger bread,
will be used to do it.

great ability and established reputation
as military painter, whose Wonder
full Defence of Paris" has been seen by
most Americans who have visited the
French capital. Mr.. Phillipoteaux has
made striking success, while ordinary
scenic painters have failed. 1t is his
idea to complete the pictorial illusion
by placing the spectator in the center of
the scene, and completely surrounding
him with with broad circumference of
earth and sky. The whole battle field
of Gettysburg is reproduced with strict
est typographical accuracy, and the de-
tails of the great fight are represented
with. realism that seems marvellous.
The foreground is actually built out
with real fences, earth, trees, guns, ETC.,
which are SO skillfully led up to and
joined with the painted canvas which is
so feet high and Ats feet in circumfer-
ence that it is almost impossible to dis
cover where reality ends and illusion be-
gins. A descriptive lecture is given by
veteran of the war. The enthusiasm
of the old soldier, ''and there are thou.
sands of them" who gaze upon this pan
lorama is unbounded. A band of Dakota
Indians who were taken to see it, paid
I an altogether too sincere tribute to the
| potency of the illusion. Fully convinced
THAT the scene was real, they became
wildly excited and wanted to rush down
upon the broad field and take hand in
the fight. The amphitheater rang with
their war whoops, a panic ensued, and
it was only by getting the dusky
warriors outside of the building that
calm was restored.
