The Partiug OF the Ways.

(The dying year)
Fades the drear December
Like some gray beard wight,
Crnucbing DER the ember
Quepched of fire and light.
Like some bankrupt hoary
Grleving for his gold,
'Reft of youth and glory.
Doomed to scrowl and scold.
Frettlng DER bis losses,
Snarling as In pain.
His shaggy name he tosses,
And whitens all the plain.
BlindIHg snow is drifting
As to hedge bis way,
Spectral trees are lifung
Brands as If to slsy.
Yes, the year is passing.
Bent with weight of woe;
Weary time and dreay time
Pass, Is rivers flow.
Times weary master,
Whips Us all in line,
Crowds Us fast and faster.
Though the laggsrds whine.

Collection of Pitchers.

A novel collection is that belong

tor Martin of Newark. Mrs. Martin
has been collecting pitchers about
eight years. She has 500 now, and
in all the great company there are
but two duplicates. Some of the
tiniest in this pitcher family are the
most valuable. Mrs. Martin has one
scarcely one inch tall of gold, with
six jewels set in circle on the out

A Hunters Fate.

A correspondent at Trout Lake sends
the Glacier the following account of the
death of c. L. Allison. Mr.. Allison was a
valued correspondent of that paper. and we
are panied to learn of his sad death:
"Clintou Allison, aged about 35, a ran
cher at Trout Lake, Kliokitat county,
Washington, very little expec ed that it
would be his last journey on ealth when he
started in pursuit Of a deer ON the 18th of
this month. His brother, Edward Allison,
was with him at the time, but feeling some
what indisposed, went home to his own
ranch, situated about three miles from the
one of his brother. On the 18th Edward
concluded to pay another visit to Clinton,
and on coming to the house, found that his
brother had not returned from his hunt.
He alarmed the neighbors, and next morn
ing, the 18th, a searching party started for
the mountains 1t was not an easy task,
for there had been q fresh tall of 10 or IL
inches of snow At last one man succeeded
in finding Alison'sN snow shoes leaning
against tree, and from that place faint
tracks could be seen at intervals leading up
the mountain aide. The first day, how
ever, passed by without any further result,
but the second day, December Goth, at
about ii o'clock A. NJ, one of the party
found the body. covered with snow. He
was lying stretched out on his hack. and
seemed to have died without struggle.
His hunting. knife was sticking in the snow,
and his rifle, ready to shoot, was lying be.
side him. Just in what manner he came to
his death will probably remain forever a
mystery The party took the body down
to his house, where it was buried on the
2lst The place where Clinton Allison met
his death is about six miles southwest OF
Trout Lake and two and ene.half miles
from his house. Clinton Allison had live
at front Lake five years. He WINS liked
very much by his neighbors and his untime-
" death is regretted by all.

A WIFE's HORROR.
Mrs. Walker, of st. Joseph, Found Her
Husbands Dead Body i'll
Kansas City.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Aug. pa tele-
gram this morning from Mrs. j.. W.
Walker announced that she had found
the dead body of her husband in his
room at the Midland Hotel at Kansas
City, whittier she had gone to join him
after receiving a telegram from him
urging her to meet him at the hotel
on his return yesterday from Oklaho-
ma.
He first swallowed carbolic acid, and
then shot himself behind the right ear.
An empty four ounce phial lay on q
chair near his bed.
Walker took a room yesterday fore
noon, and was not seen alive from that
time. He is supposed to have killed
himself yesterday afternoon.
He was member of the wholesale
grocery house of Steele & Walker of
this city, whose failure several months
ago was A sensation to st. Joseph.
Since that he has been worrying over
his financial troubles.
He undoubtedly intended that his
body should be found by his wife, and
was too respondent to see her before
committing the deed.
Walkers suicide will cause close
investigation of his private affairs. He
was trustee for several estates, and il
is rumored his accounts are in bad
shape, indicating heavy losses.
Walker was 3s years old. He was
| born at Savannah, Mo-, and before
coming to ST. Joseph in 1884 was in the
banking business at Beloit, Kan.
For ten years he was member OF
| the wholesale grocery house of Steele
& Walker, one of the largest houses
| on the river. Since the firm made an
assignment, Mr.. Walker has been en-
gagged in the coal business at Savan-
nah, l. T.
He made frequent trips here, the last
time three weeks ago. He leaves q
wife and five children.

How to Eat a Peach.


would not eat the best peach that
ever grew if was compelled to bite
into the furry skin. speak now of
the free stone peaches, for to eat a
clingstone peach l should advise the
person to do as the ladies in the East
Indies do when they are about to eat
some of the luscious fruit, the man
goes; that is, retire to their chambers,
and when they have shut and locked
the doors prepare basins of water
and towels and cover the looking
glasses so that no reflections may be
cast; then begin and eat. But now for
peaches. With a knife cut out the
peach down from the stem and exact
ly through the middle, and up again to
the point of starting, thus dividing it
into halves, but do not separate it from
the stone. Then cut it again from the
same point but a quarter of a circle
further along, thus dividing the peach
into quarters. If the peach is very
large it may be divided into sixths.
Then separate the parts, which you
can easily do if the peach is ripe, and,
taking up one of them, draw your
knife across the middle of it at right
angles to the original cut, but this
must be on the inside of the peach, and
be sure not to cut through further
than to the skin.
Then turn the section back like a
hinge, so that the two furry sides
touch, and the inside of the peach,
when placed in the mouth, will be the
only parts that can be felt. A pressure
of the tongue and the teeth will then
convey the pulp and juice to the palate
and the skin can be removed from the
mouth, it's furry sides having never
been felt. In this way the outer part of
the peach which is nearest to the skin,
and is also the sweetest, can be OBJ
tanned, and the whole peach will be
enjoyed. Never attempt to peel a
peach,

ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Mr.. Cleveland Will Touch the Button
Setting the Wheels in Motion.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 23.-It has
been arranged that President Cleve-
land will touch the button at Gray
Gables on September IS and set in
motion the machinery and unfurl the
flags ofihe Cotton States international
Exposition buildings. The principal
address of the opening day will be de-
livered by an orator of national repu-
tation, whose name is not yet made
public. The Board of Directors has
directed the Committee on Ceremonial
to issue an invitation to Booker T.
Washington, president of the Tuske-
gee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial In
stitute, to take part in the exercises
of the opening day and to deliver an
address on that occasion, thus recog-
nizing the negro race in the official
programme.
The Warrenton MO- Banner says:
The Audrain County Teachers Insti-
tute resoluted against the constitu-
tional amendment as submitted by the
last General Assembly fixing the min
imum school age from six to five
years, believing it will be detrimental
to the welfare of the public schools.
The Audrain County teachers are TAX
ing the right view of the matter. The
greater number of the public schools
are very much crowded now and the
admission of the number that the
amendment will privilege would still
further crowd them and it is very ques-
tionable whether, on the whole, the
good accomplished will balance the
injury done.

Search For a Stolen CORPSE.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 23.-Yes-
terday 10 year old girl named Lee
died of typhoid fever at the tennessee
Industrial School, and in the afternoon
the remains were buried in the Mill
Creek Cemetery, near that place, and
four miles from this city. To-day the
grave was visited for the purpose of
fixing the head dboard when it was dis
covered that the mound had been
tampered with. Further search re-
vealed parts of the grave clothes lying
scattered on the ground. The girls
home was in South Nashville, where
she had two brothers, David Lee and
William Lee, living. The brothers
were notified, and tonight, in COM
pany with deputy sheriffs, they visited
the medical colleges in the city. An
excited crowd gathered as the search
proceeded, and after the deputies had
completed their investigation of the
medical department of the University
of Tennessee on Broad street, with
the announcement that it had been
unsuccessful, several of those who had
been standing outside declared that
when the deputies entered they saw a
man carry a shrouded form out into
the yard and keep it there until the
deputies had retired. The physicians
in charge, however, state positively
that the body has never been in the
building. The medical department of
Vanderbilt University was then
searched without success. The deputy
sheriffs then returned to the first col
lege, but were refused admittance.

Scandal,


Did you ever stop to think that when
a smutty finger touches a picture it
furnishes the entire scene? Did you
ever stop to think that when you
speak ill of one of family you leave
a mark of misery on all? When the
breath of scandal falls upon one of a
household, how it must hurt and sting
and smite all around the hearthstone.
No matter how pure or innocent may
be the life of father, brother, sister,
mother, when one is traduced and
slandered all suffer alike. Think of
the heartaches, the bitter, briny
tears that have saddened many a
beautiful life because of the cruel
words spoken of those near and dear!
If the tongue of evil speaks true, then
the greater the woe, but if it speaks
falsely, the words cut the sensitive
soul down into the dust of humiliation
much the same. Think of the sorrow
that broods like pail over many a
home because scandal has besmirched
the garments of some of its inmates!
o how careful we should be about re-
peating street rumors and giving
wings to the evil imaginations of the
base. God grant that no word of ours
may ever embitter and sadden the life
of an innocent soul.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINEs?n Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is sluggish or
diseased liver that nnpairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That duh, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
ten. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. It
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

From the Kansas CITY Star.

IEVy
The silver Democrats of Nebraska
complain that the administration has
assisted the anti-s silver wing OF the
party by giving offices to members of
the free silver committees and there
by winning them over to the other
side. This sounds like a very much
more serious charge against the char
acter of the men who are managing
the free silver fight than it is against
the Administration. Is it to be as
sumed that all the free silver leaders
could be won over to the other faction
of theDemocracy if there were offices
for all of them?

THE WABASH GOT THERE.
Speed of Seventy Seven Miles An
Hour Over the Old Reliable.

More than once, recently, mention
has been made of extraordinarily fast
runs on the Wabash, but last Wednes-
day all previous records were broken
and a new standard-not only for the
Wabash, but for all western roads
was established, says the st. Louis
Republic.
On Wednesday the east bound fast
mail left Kansas City late, but reached
st. Louis on time Between Mont
gomery and Gilmore the run of IL
miles was made in 80 minutes, and the
IS miles between Truesdale and Gill
more were covered in II minutes.
This is equivalent to speed of n
miles an hour. The train was hurled
by engine No. 319, Conductor James
Walsh and Engineer Barney Burke
being in charge.
Such performances as this are pos
sible only on a road whose track is
almost perfect, whose motive power
and equipment are of the most ap-
proved and modern type and whose
operation is as nearly faultless as ex-
perience, skill and care can make it.
These conditions prevail on the Wa
bash, and it is, therefore, not surpris-
ing that such magnificent speed can
be attained on that road without the
sacrifice of safety or comfort.

Now comes our good friend, John
B. Graham, and takes the cake on
fish stories and he can prove it, too.
While fishing a few days since he
snagged a channel cat which broke
his pole into dozens of pieces and his
line, which caught around stump,
was snapped asunder. John wouldn't
say exactly what size the fish was but
is of the opinion that it was the big
gest ever caught that "got away"
John presents the pieces of his pole
as evidence of this story being true.
He is sure it was not a house cat.
John says he don't have to go to New
York to get up good fish stories.
