MRS. w. B. KING, Press Supt.


A drunkard's child is to be pitied,
they often have to feel ashamed to
know that the money that should have
been paid for food has been paid for
drink that is dragging them down to
ruin,that is making tyrant of kind
and loving father. Let us be more
thoughtful and kind to those who
need our love and sympathy. While
The drunkard will be judged for his
deeds we shall be judged for ours,and
not only for what we do, but for what
we ought to do.
Is the hand that rocks the cradle
the hand that rocks the world? Look-
ing at the world just as it is, are we
willing to admit that it is the outcome
of our rocking?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
1t is a beautiful thought, and we
would not detract one iota from the
beauty of the picture it brings to our
minds. But let us look at it practi-
cally. Some one has said in substance
that it might be true if the world
WOulu SCdy Ill Cu0 CIdulo. DuC dIdo
It will kick out; and when once out,
what can the hand of women do?
But, says some one, if the cradle had
been properly rocked in the home, the
world cannot coax the boy into its
cradles of temptation and crime. If
this be true how necessary that women
should throughly understand the art of
rocking the cradle. Thoughtful
women are thinking about this cradle
question. If the hand of woman is
responsible, and according to natures
law it is,in great MEASURE they right
fully are considering how to make it
strong and steady, able to set in mo-
ton life of blessing.
Oh, baby darling, the world is wide,
And there's sin and sorrow on every side:
And I griey,ee that your feet, so pink and
Must travel the pathway that leads through
And wish could wrap you all around
With such strong, true love that safe and
sound
1 might fold you in and hold you tight
AS wrap the blanket around you tonight

KANSAS CITY, April 3.-The Amer
lean Protective association and the Cath
olics came together in bloody conflict
at the polls in this city. It cannot
be stated which side is responsible for
the affair, as the partisans of each loud
ly charged the other as being the full
cause of all the trouble. More than 100
shots were exchanged between the COM
batants in less than that many seconds,
and when the firing ceased the follow
ing named were lying dead or dying on
the pavement:
MIKE CALLAHAN. city ditch inspector,
shot through the right SIDE
HARRY FOWLER. laborer, shot through
the back.

Of morality-a vote in favor of law

AWFUL CATASTROPHE IN a MIL
WAUKEE THEATRE.

While Fighting Flames in the Davidson
Building tho Roof Fell in, Carrying
Dozen Firemen Down to Death-A
Terrible Fireworks Explosion.
MILWAUKEE, April 9.-The Davidson
Theater, the finest play house in Mil
waukee and one of the handsomest and
costliest theaters in the country, was
destroyed by fire which broke out be-
tween 4 and o'clock q. m.
Shortly after o'clock, when the fire
was seemingly under control, the
theater roof, on which score or more
of the brave firemen stood rs they fought
the flames, went down and the
Brave Mon Were Carried With It
to the floor of the auditorium below.
Some were extricated from the furnace
of flames in which the whole interior
was now enveloped by their brave and
more fortunate comrades, who risked
their lives to drag out the PROSTATE
forms of the dead and injured men.
Six or eight men were soon brought out,
and those who are able to speak said
there must be 10 more in the ruins,
where living death awaited them. For
these poor fellows there was no chance.
The burning roof had fallen on them.
and they were roasted to death if they
had not been killed in that
" Terrible Plunge From the Roof.
A cry of horror went up from the
firemen who saw the awful catastrophe.
The members of the insurance patrol
were covering up the seats in the par
quette of the theater when suddenly a
light was seen through the roof above.
The men in the theater ran back just in
time, and the next moment the roof fell
into the parquette of the theater. Sew
eral of the men in the theater were
caught by the falling timbers. The
scene that followed is never to be for
gotten by those who witnessed it. For a
moment all was dark, then suddenly a
tremendous sheet of flame shot up, and
with it came the cries of the fremen
who had fallen through the roof to the
theatre below.
Little Hope Remained.
The men were buried under the blaz-
ing roof, and there seemed to be little
hope if any would come out alive,
even if they had not been killed by their
terrible fall. There was trouble in get
ting water on the fire, which now rap
idly made its way through the theatre
and scenery. The water was finally
turned on, and several of the fremen
who had fallen near the front door of
the lobby were dragged from the burn
ing debris and carried out more or less
injured. The men were removed to the
saloon across the street and their
wounds dressed, while the fremen
bravely kept at work pouring deluge
of water on the debris, and trying to
rescue others of the unfortunates.
