A MIRTA, AUsENTE

Por aliviar mis- penvs
to escrbo, Mirta hermosa;
mas dudo del alivio;
que la pena es mayor con la memoria.
lCuando, mi dulce Airta,
cuando sera la hora
que tu presencia amada
alegre fin a mi amargura pongai
lCuando ahuyeutaras, cuando,
tinieblas horrorosas,
que un inocente pecho
entristecen, oprimen y sofocanf
Core el tempo a mis- dafios
can planta voladora,
"a mis- placeres anda
con planta lenta, torpe y perezosa.
lCuantas voces, lque dicha!
q tn puerta amorosa
llamo y digo: "Abre, Mirta,
y ahuyenta con tn risa mis- congojas!
Y cuantas, ldolor fero!
miranda tan remota
la esperanza de verte,
lagrimas tristes de mis- ojos brotan!
va fatigo los montes
cen voces lastimosas,
pidi6ndoles 4 Mirta,
y tan solo ecos tristes me retornAn.
va de la cruel Diana
mo quejo; y la hermosa
Venus suplico humilde
que a mis- amantes quejas corresponds.
Ven, pues, querida Mirta,
yel NAL que me devora
truecalo en- algeria
con tu presencia dulce y amorosa.
Dios to guarde mas afios
que hilos tienen las tocas
del refulgente Apollo.

KANSAS CROP REPORT.
The Yield of Wheat is Estimated to BE
23.32O,OOO Bushels.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 6.-The Kansas
state board of agricuiturc'S secretary,
ii. ID. Coburn. to-day issued the July
crop report. The yield of wheat is
estimated To be 2s, ,33G. 900 bushels.
The acreage planted last fall, accord
ing to the asscssors' returns, was
4,':6, 707 acres. The acreage actually
harvested was 2.G66,G7l acres. The
report says the rains of the past
month have brought the wheat out
wonderfully, making, in many fields,
five to ten bushels per acre, where a.
month ago 1T was not thought possi-
bic 10 raise anything.
Very little spring wheat was har
vested and the oats yield will not ex-
ceed half crop. The yield of rye is
about the same as of winter wheat;
the quality is good.
Without exception, reports indicate
that Kansas presents at this time tan
area of growing corn the equal of
which for extent, evenness of stand,
vigorous growth, propitious soil con-
ditions and freedom from weeds has
seldom, if ever, been seen before in
any state.
Dry weather previous to June re-
tarded the growth of grasses to such
an extent that in quantity hay will
not be more than medium crop at
best

The letter from first to last is full

General Shelby replied briefly that
in protecting the trains he was carry

EXECuTIvE MANSION, WASHINGTON, July s.
1894 "
Hon, John 7. Atgeld, governor of Illinois,
Springfield. Iii.
Federal troops were sent TO Chicago in
strict accordance with the constitution and
the laws OF the United States, upon demand of
the poStohice department that obstruc tiou OF
the mails should be removed and upon tn G
represent ttlons of the judicial officers of the
united States thIt process OF the federal
courts could not be executed through the or
binary means, and UPON abundant proof that
conspiracleS existed against commerce be
tween the states
10 meet these conditions, which are clearly
within the province of the federal authority
the presence OF federal troops in the city of
Chicago was deemed not only proper but nee.
essary, and there has been no intention of
thereby interferins with the plain duty of the
1cal authorities to preserve the peace of the
city. GROVER CIEVELAND
