Then he would plant himself with great
consciousness in front of the old
clock, watching the swinging Of the
pendulum.
At last. There was no mistake, the
hands pointed to where the mother had
shown him. Jakob went to the bedside
of his sleeping father, shook him by the
shoulders and cried into his ears, ''Fa-

The man lay in deep sleep. After
drinking the tea sweat had broken
out, and heavy dream seemed to op-
press him. for when the child bent over
him he struck at him. But Jakob could
not be deferred. He knew what was at
stake if his father missed his duty. He
got the flag and put it in his father
hand. He dragged the heavy Overcoat TO
the bedside. He yelled, he tugged and
pulled at the sleeping man-but in
vain. The train signal could now be
heard outside.

the wall again.
There is nothing left but for me to
go out" the boy said to himself, ''for
somebody must be out there"
With quick decision he slipped into
his fathers heavy overcoat, drew the
cape over his head and seized the flag.
He arrived just in the nick of time at
his post, for few moments later the
train Numbered past the grotesque little
form. The snow bad covered him from
head TO foot. With great seriousness he
presented the flag, and the rosy child
face beamed most sweetly from under
the snow covered cape-a storm waited

the next instant a heavy object came
flying from the passing train right be-

He picked it up and hurried into the
house with it. There, after dropping his
fathers heavy overcoat, he hastened to
the window to examine his present in
the bright moonlight. 1t was small,
fine purse. He opened it and found it
almost filled with bright new silver

But whenever she put warm wrap

MethOdists Recognize the Negro.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 1.-THE
Methodist general conference put
itself on record again on the race
question this morning by adopting a
resolution introduced by the Rev. DR..
II. A. Monroe, of Delaware, ihdorsing
the treatment that Cleveland hotels
have accorded to all delegates, re-
gardless of colcr and demanding that
wherever it is decided TO hold the
conference in the future guarantee
be obtained Of equal treatment. A
resolution WAS referred announcing
that the Acknowledgement recognized
no color and no caste, and stating
that if the conference elected a negro
bishop it was not TO be considered
class legislation.
A request for holding the next gen.
eral conference at Saratoga Springs
was received. Chairman D. H. Moore
of the Southern education and freed.
man aid committee reported a resolu-
tion stating that it was the sense Of
the conference that the name of the
society be not changed. After con-
siderable debate the report was
adopted. The committee on frater.
nal union Of the Methodist churches,
which was appointed four years ago,
was requested to report at once.
The fact that the standing commit
tees had not reported yesterday al
most brought the conference to a stop.
There was no business to be trans
acted land recess was taken. During
the recess the Rev. J. P. Graw, Of
New Jersey, and the Rev. DR.. Lama
han, of Baltimore, Matched up a
scheme to have the elections occur
this week Accordingly DR.. Graw
moved to reconsider the vote of last
week, by which May 18th was fixed as
election day.
The Rev,Dr. Buckeye of New York,
said that he thought Uext Sunday
would be better spent by the dele
gates if the elections were held this
week. He held that the delegates
would electioneer on Sunday If the
elections were held on Monday. 1t
was decided to commence the election
on Thursday.

Kansas and rlissOuri Crops,

Topeka, Kansas, May 12,-The Kan
saS crop bulletin for the past week
says: "In the eastern division crops in
general are progressing favorably. In
the middle division dry weather and
high winds were general, with chinch
bugs in many places, and wheat was
injured severely in several counties
Oats, however. have really suffered
most, while corn, generally speaking,
is doing well. Fruit has been shaken
off to some extent. The week ended
in showers, which it is hoped will
ameliorate conditions considerably.
In the western division high winds
have been unfavOrable to all crops,
but the soil conditions in general were
excellent, Wheat, barley, corn and
pastures are in excellentshape in that
part of the state"
Columbia, Mo-, May u. The Mis-
souri, crop bulletin for the past week
says; "The weather generally was
very favorable for farm work, and
corn planting is about completed.
Cotton planting is we'll advanced.
Wheat it generally doing well, but is
needing rain, and in some counties
will be seriously injured unless good
rains come soon. Oats and grasses
are doing well as rule, but are also
needing rain. Chinch bugs are doing
considerable damage in some local
tiles. Flax is generally growing
nicely. Fruit is falling badly"

state in the Union has now, for the

''Now Mr.. Chairman, on the day
when this discussion first opened the

with trembling voice and tears in his

purpose of letting those poor men
who had been unfortunate escape
from the burden of their debts. And
that was followed up by the gentle

bill was that by the laws OF various
states there is placed in the hands of

that the true secret of the bill is
that it is a bill for the collection Of

ncKinley's Position.

Chicago, May 9.-The Times Her
aid prints this statement as to Major
McKinley's position on free coin.
age:A
"a year ago, in Thomasville. Ca,
Major Mckinley, when offered the
delegates Of the southern states if he
would declare for free silver, said in
the presence of the editor of this
Journal:
"If the Republican platform declar.
es for free coinage, l will not be q
candidate. l would not run ona free
silver platform"
The editor Of the Times Herald Is
ID. H. Kohlsaat, one of McKinley's
most intimate friends, who, next tC
Mark Hanna, is generally understood
to be most competent to speak fol
the Ohio statesman.
The above is an associated pres:

We don't see from the facts in the
case how Tegder can get cut Of this,
though the whisky men are leaving
no stone unturned to benefit him and
are working hard. One fact is pain
fully evident when any whisky case
comes up in court, and that is the
lethargy displayed by the Prohibition
lists and other law-abiding citizens,
who claim they want to see the
whisky law as we'll enforced as any
other law on our statute books.
While the whisky men are busy, those
in favor Of the enforcement OF law
are idle. If the temperance people
would work as hard for the enforce

against it, they could soon clear out
out all the foul hell-hOles that dis

and sap the life blood out of the other

The above extract from the COM
ments Of the Oxford Register on
the John T. Stewart matter was
overlooked by the VOICE and al
lowed to go unchallenged. We
have heretofore shown Branscombe'S
utter disregard of consistency in
commenting on county affairs
proving it by his own words, which
he ate with such a relish at the close
of last campaign. 1t is useless for US
to refer back to those circumstances
but we wish to say that when he
charges that the VOICE has stood up
as an "apologist" Tor John T. Stew
art he prevaricateS. We expressly
stated in the article in question
that since the farmer had to pay
taxes on everything he owned that
bankers and business men should do
the same. We commended the
the action Of the board in bringing
him to time. But we insisted that
the action should not stop there
that there were others-some Re-
publicans perhaps who needed to be
coerced. We also compared Com.
missioner Espy's diligence in this
case with his dilitory and give-away
policy in the Carnes case-his polit-
ical friend.
Now Brother Branscombe well
knows that this is not apologizing
for John T. Stewart. 1t is simply a
demand for justice to all. If a
Democrat owes the county make
him pay it. If a Republican owes
the county use exactly the same
vigilance with him. If a
Populist needs coercion, 60 after
him. Let justice be done though

A Runaway.

Mrs. Joe Dodson met with a run
away accident on Monday morning
while coming to town. When about
three miles from the city the leather
around the breast yoke broke, letting
the tongue of the spring wagon fall
to the ground. The horses became
frightened and ran away, throwing
out the occupants Of the vehicle
Mrs. Dodson, her son and daughter.
Mrs. DOdson was thrown against a
wire fence and slightly bruised. Some
friends passing brought her to the
Davis house in this city. She was
more frightened than injured, and
by evening had recovered from the
shock. No one was hurt TO any ex-
tent. The wagon was considerably
broken up.

A Dangerous Practice.

The other evening as A. Branaman
was driving home, accompanied by
his wife aud daughter Minnie, they
met with an accident which might
have terminated more seriously. A
COW was tied to a tree across the
street from Y. c. Sleeper's residence
10 the fourth ward, and had gone To
the opposite side Of the street and
laid down. When the horse was
partly over the rope the COW jumped
up. This jerked the rope against the
horse, which wheeled to one side,
nearly upsetting the buggy, and Miss
Minnie sprang out to avoid falling,
The horse was soon Quieted. No one
was injured, but the shock TO Mrs
BIanaman's nerves was quite severe
and as her health is somewhat deli
cate, she has had no sleep since.
This practice Of tying COWS in TIE
streets is forbidden by city ordinance
and is a nuisance and menace to the
safety of the public. Many a horse
would have run away under similar
circumstances.
