WAITING FOR THE MESSAGE.

Where the whispering waters murmur,
In dreamy, ceaseless ebb and f1ows
Comes a nem'ry, clad like summer,
Lighted by the sunsets glow
sSilvery sands seem as indented
With imagined footprints there;
And listen-deep enchanted
For the message in the air.
Where the whispering waters murmur
When the moon is DER the sea.
From beyond the midnight's glimmer
Comes that echoing voice to me.
Peacefully the night winds slumber,
Soft, serene, the stars shine bright;
Ger the sanded floor wander
Through the noiseless calm of night
Where the whisp' ring waters murmur
See! Lies joyous morning breaks!
See! The night has fall'n asunder,
And mankind it's burden takes.
We must wait little longer
For the signal, coming late,
Telling of the way up yonder,
Through the cleaning golden gate.
George Herriott, in Boston Budget.

A Man Bears Testimony Favorable to a
Convicted Murderer.


Convicted Murderer.
DANvILLE, Ind, Dec. 4-When Rev.
w. E. Hinshaw, who was recently con-
victed of the murder of his wife, and is
now serving life sentence in prison,
was on trial, he stoutly protested his
innocence, and maintained that his
wife was killed by robbers, who went
to their house and left in buggy. At
the trial evidence failed to bear out his
statements and the jury quickly re-
turned verdict of guilty. Now Lewis
Asher, a neighbor of the Hinshaws,
states that on the night of the murder,
whine out hunting his horse, he saw
two men drive toward the Hinshaw
home, and later he heard pistol shots
and cries for help. He was frightened
and returned home, and was passed by
the two men. He claims to know who
killed Mrs. Hinshaw, but refuses to
tell, as his life, he says, would be in
danger. Asher has been arrested and
will be examined by the grand jury.
He is man of good reputation.

BAD MEAT NOT RELISHED.
ENGLISH STATESMEN KEEPING AN
EYE ON THE CHICAGO
PACKERS.
THEY MAKE PERTINENT INQUIRIES
AS TO THE SANITARY STATE OF
CANNED IMPORTS.

LONDON, March THE president of the
Board of Agriculture in the House of Com
mons to-day was asked by Mr.. Jeffreys,
member for North Hampshire, whether
his attention had been drawn to state
ment in the Times concerning the pre-
pairing and packing of meat at Chicago
said to be diseased and intended for ex-
portation to England, and whether he had
reason to believe that though bullock at
Chicago might be condemned as diseased
and unfit for food, yet its tongue was pre-
served and exported, while its fat
was made into oleomargarine, and
whether it was a fact that in
many instances diseased meat which
had been condemned had nevertheless
been taken out of the condemned tanks
after the.inspector had left and then pre-
served and exported to England. Finally
Mr.. Jeffreys asked whether the Govern
ment would endeavor to prevent such
meat being used as food in England.
Replying to the question of Mr. Jeffreys,
Herbert Gardner, president of the Board
OF Agriculture, said he had received the
statements referred to and proposed to
make the necessary inquiries through the
Foreign Office.
He would also bring to the notice of the
sanitary officers here any information
which reached him in respect to the ex-
istence of danger to the health of the pub
Tic arising from imported foods.

00O bonds Herman Schussler of the Spring
valley Water Company was employed to
make surveys and plans for an IRRIGATION
plant. he spent few days in this work
and received therefor $40 600 in bonds.
BIDS were then advertised for for the con-
structlon OF the works and j. w. Smith of
the Portland Construction Company putin
DID TO do the work for 81, $50 900. Mean
while efforts were made to float the bonds
mere and in New York but without sue
cess. After that oyertures were made tn
secure English capital. The Manchester
trust Company of London agreed to take
the bonds provided that Attorneys Gunni-
son and Booth and Engineer William C.
AlDerger passed upon the value of the
DondS and pronounced them good. This
was done, and favorable report was made.
But new and unforeseen trouble sprang
up 10 DOCK the progress of the proposed
WORK. The financial crisis in Australia.
IN winch the Manchester Trust Company
was deeply involved, so crippled that CON
Germ that 1t was unable to purchase the
ponds or any part thereof. The Portland
construction Company was anxious to 90
ahead with the work, but as there was no
money IN sight and the company being I'M
wiling to acceptthe bonds, the work was
given up.
Shortly after this Reed & Baker. con-
tractors of Reedley, appeared on the scene.
!hey made an offer to take the contract
IOi @!,oOV,OOV MT. ReeQ came to San
francisco and asked George W. McNear to
place the bonds, if possible, at So or so
cents on the dollar. Mr.. McNear took the
proposition under advisement
Mr.. Reed went back to Fresno and stated
that he had placed the bonds and that G.
T. Huntington had agreed to take 81, 600 900
IN his own name, and that the Southern
Pacific Company would take the balance.
Mr.. Huntington subsequently, stated that
he had never seen either Mr.. Reed or his
partner, Mr.. Baker, and had never agreed
to take one dollars worth of the bonds.
All of the other Southern Pacific officials
repudlated the assertions of Mr. Reed. In
short, 1t was a false boom which died
a-borning. Reed and Baker were inter-
ested in the Summit Lake Water Com
pany, the property of which they endeay-
ored to sell to the Sunset irrigation dis
trlct. The principal assets of this company
was dry ditch.
2. Y. Baker of the firm of Reed & Baker
finally succeeded in making a contract
with the old board of directors of the Sun.
set district to build and equip the irriga-
ton plant for 81, 100000. The contract ia
contingent on q future decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the case
OF Iregea VS.. the Board of Directors of the
Modesto irrigation district as to the con-
stltutionality of the Wright irrigation law.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case
assert that this contingency clause invali-
dates the contract, and this is another of
the points on which they base their suits.

LONDON, March IA plasterer named
Taylor, living at Lower footing, near
London, cut the Threats of his wife and
six children this morning, and then took
his own life. All the family is dead ex-
cept one child, who is at the point of
death.
IRENE restitution that prevails among
many of the working classes. Taylor was
sober, steady workman, but had been
thrown out of work by the remarkably
cold weather, which brought all building
operations to standstill
Not being able to provide for his family,
his mind became unhinged and it is
evident he determined to kill them and
then himself, in order to save all from
slowly starving to death.

PLEASES THE GRAND TRUNK
TROUBLE AGAIN LOOMING UP
BETWEEN WESTERN
LINES.
Now THE ALTON ROAD FORCES
MATTERS IN REFERENCE TO
DIFFERENTIALS.

CHICAGO, March Trouble is again
looming up before the Western lines over
the question of Canadian Pacific differen-
tials. The Alton is the road which has
forced matters this time and if it sustains
its present position for any length of time
it will certainly force the Canadian Pacific
to withdraw from its agreement with the
Western lines.
The specific troubles in this instance
originated with the Grand Trunk which
for several weeks has been working to
break up the Western Trunk Line COM
mittee agreement. It's first effort in this
direction was refusal to maintain standard
rates. When it went below the schedule
the Canadian Pacific, which had been
allowed differential from Grand Trunk
rates by the Western roads, promptly took
advantage OF its differential in meeting the
rates made by the Grand Trunk. The
Alton road has now announced that it will
not allow the Canadian Pacific differentials
as against the cut rates of the Grand Trunk.
Chairman Caldwell, when the matter
was brought to his attention, ruled against
the Alton, declaring the Western roads
had agreed to reorganize the dlfferentials,
irrespective of any action for or against the
differentials which might be taken up by
the Eastern roads. He produced the rec
ords from the meeting in which the diff
ferential was allowed and they fully sus-
tanned him in his position.
The present conditions are highly pleas
ing to the Grand Trunk, which desires
nothing SO much as the disruption of the
committee agreement. A representative of
the Grand Trunk declared that one of the
roads which had signed the agreement had
said that it would stand by the Grand
Trunk in its fight against the Canadian
Pacific.
The State Board of Railway and Ware
house Commissioners was in session to-
day listening to evidence in the case of
James Brown of Dwight against the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad. No decision
was reached nor will be until after the
have considered the briefs
to be submitted by both Sides
The complaint involves the alleged over
charges of 81 per car ON the part of the
railroad for shipping facilities at the
Union stock yards, and is to be made test
case. An effort is to be made to see
whether or not, under the laws of Illinois,
the railroads doing business in Chicago
have the right to charge shippers on stock
cars at the stock yards,
