A champion veteran lays the cares
Of Journalism down;
His many years of patient toll
Have merited renOwn.
A proud career has glory won
That cannot fade or die,
A brilliant sun is setting in
The Democratic sky.
The faultless mantle that he doffs
Is not faded flower,
And age has only given 1t
Intensity and power.
Successor, wear this hOnored CLOAK;
Its motto is-'StiH Highsr'-
With lofty deeds and Christian love
1t will thy life inspire.
What masterpieces and landmarks
OF caliber and skill
Those wayworn feet have scaled the prov
And summit of the hill.
Yes, he has drunk at limpid founts
OF scientific lore,
And gathered laurels on the heights
Where we can never soar
And now within his peaceful home
He rests his weary head,
Where he will hear no echoes OF
The Public'S noisy tread.
How sweet the tired pilgrims rest,
And only in his dreams
Will he be called to solve the trlte
And desiccated themes.
May many peaceful happy years
On earth to him be given,
And not a thorn or thistle grow
Within his path to heaven.
When here the tears of sorrow fall
Around his vacant chair,
Oh, may he have resting place
In mansions "Orer There

Frog In an Elephants Trunk

Jess, the big elephant belonging to
Sells Y Rentfrow's circus, was slumber
ing quietly on the ground in the men
agerie tent at Salt Lake at one o'clock
the other morning, when a frog, mis-
taking the nozzle Of her trunk for q
hole in the ground. jumped into it,
Nothing so terrOriZes an elephant as
the presence of a live insect or animal
in its trunk, and the big brute broke
loose and went on rampage.
The keepers were eating their lunch
at the time, and the menagerie tent
was entirely deserted. A great crash
was heard, and the men rushed back
just in time to see Jess go through the
side of the tent and amble off toward
the business center of the city. A scene
of wreckage was presented within the
tent. The big brute had broken her
chain, apparently, and amused herself
by tossing the cages about before leav-
ing. Four cages were thrown over on
their sides, as though they were so
many toys, and then the elephant
walked right through the side of the
tent. The cages were those containing
the badgers, hedgehogs, monkeys and
kangaroos, but, fortunately, none of
the animals were injured, and very
little damage was done to the wagons.
Fifteen mounted men were sent in
pursuit of the elephant. Jess came
straight down town, and astonished
the few pedestrians on the street by
promenading up and down Main street,
occasionally striking the curb with her
trunk and uttering cries of distress.
Mr.. Sells was with the men who over
took her, and soon discovered the cause
of her discomfort. By COMPRISING the
trunk the frog was forced down, and
firally blown out by the elephant
She then became dCcile, and was taken
back to the tent.

Depew Makes Silverites.

ted States Senator Daniel, of Virgi.
mia, in an interview today said that

ger one than ever after listening to
Dr. Depew's attack on Coins Flnan-

Asked about the proposed interna-
tional monetary conference, of which
he is a member, Mr.. Daniels said that
in his opinion it was extremely doubt
full if it would ever be held. Even
of it should be held, the senator
thought it would not result in an in
ternational agreement on the silver
question. England was uniavorable
and Frarce was the only country ia
vorable to an extended use of silver.

zenship-he is an unfinished factor in
the community.
Before he may enter the Freshman
class at college he must spend one or
two years IN preparatory, at a cost of
$3.50 to $3.50 per year, and during all
that time, though at a critical period
of his life, be is not only removed
from home influences, but receives no
better instruction than he night re-
ceive in the common school at home.
In many country districts from one to
six boys and girls are sent from home
every year, 10 enter these preparatory
schools, at a total cost of at least ST.
800. How much better it would be
TO pay say $50 for each of them and
have them properly prepared for col
lege in the home school under the
watch and care of parents. II it be
deemed more expedient to meet the
expense by taxation, it may be accom-
plished under Article Y OF the school
law, entitled Graded Common Schools
An additional teacher and usually an.
other room, will be required-and
these are the items OF expense.
The strongest argument in favor of
such an arrangement is that it would
afford the opportunity for more lib
eral education to that class of pupils
who ale not able to attend college,
and who, having completed the com
mon school course, are cut off from
further educational advantages. Eco
nomy, the safety of the child, and be.
nevolence are all in favor of better
facilities for high school education in
many of the common schools.

"The best speech of the occasion

gates, made a humorous address, in
which he assured the Republican Wis

open arms, and wide open eyes. He
told them that the Reception. Com

errillas, who would say that they were
properly entertained and performed
no political tricks. His entire speech
was Fictitious and happy, and cordial

John ID. Weller, Cerulean's Ge

Good Luck.

Mr. John ID. Weller, the genial
postmaster and druggist at Cerulean,
has fallen into "A streak of good luck

two or three years old, As a boy he
had a pretty hard time of it, but he
came out ali right and started in as a
young man with the confidence of all
who knew him. Being left an orphan
at so tender an age, he knew little OF
nothing of his family, and worked his
way in the world alone.
Some time ago an uncle, Mr.. VIM
Weller, died in Nashville and left an
estate valued at 100000 to 1928,
600, which devised to the heirs @
his brothers and sisters. There are
fourteen of these, and the money is
to be equally divided among them.
While the share of each will be nc
great fortune, it will be enough for a
comfortable start in the world,

that the publication of the will dis

TOOK POISON.
Miss Lucy Hamilton, of Marshall
County, Attempts TO
Commit Suicide.

The report reached the city today
that Miss Lucy Hamilton, the pretty
eighteen year old daughter of l.. c.
Hamilton, a prominent farmer Of the,
Hamlet nelghhorheod OF Ms. q
county. attempted suicide Tuesday
evening at her home by taking NOR
phine. Miss Hamilton for the last
few days has been the central figure
of sensation in her section of Mar
shall county. As will doubtless be
recalled by the readers of the News,
she was engaged to be married last
Sunday to Mr.. S. l.. Grace, pro-
duce dealer Of Benton, who is As ys
OF age. 1t was during one of his buy
ing tours through the county that be
met and became enamoured with Miss
Hamilton.
Ii was only about a month ago
when they first met, but Grace is not
a man to waste his time and he indus
triously went TO work to win the at
iections of the young lady in ques =
ton. He succeeded in gaining her
consent to the marriage, and last Sun
day was the day for the happy event
to take place. Grace procured mar
riage license on the appointed day,
and was in the act of starting to the
domicil of his afiianced when to his
astOnishment a note was handed him
by a courier from Miss Hamilton de
claring the marriage off.
The news of course at once became
public, and created quite a sensation,
owing to the prominence of all the
parties concerned. The cause of the
young woman's fckleness also became
at once a topic of discussion among
her friends and acquaintance. Among
her admirers was Il young man named
Cox. He is son of Rev. Cox and
nineteen years of age. 1t is said that
she was in love with him and in all
probability engaged to be married to
him. According to the gossips it wst
for his sake that she broke her en-
gagement with Grace. After Cox
learned about Grace securing mar
risge license to wed Miss Hamilton
and of her discarding him at the e'ev
enth hour he too became uneasy and
fitted the young lady on Monday; the
following day she took morphine and
it is said with suicidal intend beyond
a doubt. She was found lying on h,

A Pleasant Reception and Neat Drill-Dls-
 tinguished Guests Present--A Large At
 tendance.
 The first drill and reception of the First division, Naval Militia, c. N. G., was held in the armory last evening and proved a most enjoyable affair. The armory was well filled with the many friends of the division. The dec orations, while not elaborate, were very tasteful and beautiful. The American Second regiment band, Frank Fichtl, leader, rendered a most excellent musi- cal program during the evening. The drill given by tka battalion was divided into three parts, namely, infantry drill, wall scaling and artillery drill. The infantry drill, executed by the entire division, was most excellent, including the manual of arms and battalion move ments. The wall scaling drill was exc cuted by about fifteen members. A miniature wall was erected about ten feet high and over this the men gave their exhibition.
 The artillery drill was the best exc cuted and called forth the most ap- plause. Their new Hotchk1ss guns were used for the first time and are models of excellence.
 After the exhibition was over there was dancing.
 The guests of the evening were Gov ernor Coffin and the following members of his taff: Adjutant General Charles P. Graham, Assistant Adjutant General William ID K Land are AsSistant OIIar. termaster General Louis R. Cheney, Commissary General Henry s. Peck, Paymaster General James H.
