AUGUSTUS CELEBRATION
To Be June 9. 1897-Chief Justice Fuller In
vited to Deliver Grafton.

The committee on the order of exer-
Augusta, met, Wednesday afternoon,
at the residence of Hon. ]. w. Brad
bury. Mr.. Bradbury was chosen chair
man and Melvin S. Holway secretary.
1t was voted to hold the celebration on
June 8, 1897; to invite Chief Justice Full
Ter to deliver an grafton. A poet will be
selected later. Rev. Mr.. Weston of
Washington, d. c., will be invited to
deliver the prayer at the literary exer-
cises 1t was voted to have a parade
and that the citizens be requested to
decorate their houses in the day time
and to illuminate them in the evening.
1t was also proposed to have a ban
quet in the evening.
The committee adjourned to meet in
two weeks at the same place to COM
plete other arrangements.
In days gone by when the Kennebec
bridge received toll for passers by
one cent for pedestrians and 10 cents
for open carriages-they used to euchre
2OOu Oul u AiAohy q SOPPN'
in the early winter by using the ice.
When the ice used to make out to consld-
cradle distance from the shores, but not
all the way across, leaving an opening
in the middle, they used to escape the
toll by making bridge of ice. Some
ingenious spirit hit upon the scheme of
saving a slice just long enough along
the shore, then making fast the lower
end. that is, the end farthest down
river the upper end would float out,
making pass across.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Kansas Grain on the Move Into
Mexico.
The Santa Fe to Haul 1000
Carloads There.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road acknowledgements and
miscellaneous

Owing to the fact that the drought
this summer damaged to a considerable
extent the wheat crop of the country-
and that the Mexican government has
removed the duty on grain for a period
Of several months, Kansas grain is now
on the move into Mexico. On account
Of the direct line, the Santa Fe is hand
ling the great part of this grain, and
that road expects to ship over 1000 cars
into the country within the next two
months. The shipment Of Kansas
grain into Mexico this year though much
heavier than usual. viii not be as large
as three years ago when the drought
was far more extensive. Fully 10000
cars of grain were shipped into Mexico
that year.
Besides q good grain business to Cal
weston and the east, all western roads
are at present doing d heavy live stock
business from Texas. Oklahoma, Ari-
iona and New Mexico into the eastern
markets. So great is the combined
freight business in live stock and grain
that the car service departments of the
roads are just now kept extremely busy
supplying cars to the required territory
So far the supply of cars has fully
equaled the demand, and it is probable
that there viii be no marked scarcity
of cars
In addition to the cattle movement.
hundreds of sheep are now being ship
ped from New Mexico and Colorado to
winter quarters in Nebraska.

Livestock HandIad-

The statement of live stock handled
into Kansas City compiled by the
general freight department of the San
Ia t'e, shows that during the month OF
september all previous records Of
heavy live stock shipments into that
point were broken. The Santa Fe
hauled 5,555 cars of live stock into the
Kansas City market that month. which
is the largest number Of cars ever
hauled into Kansas City i'm any one
month by any one railroad Tt is ex-
pected that if the shipments of live
stock continue up to the last of this
month as heavy as at present the rec
ord Of cars hauled this month win ex-
coed that of last month.

THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY

The overcrowding of the Bodleian is
again becoming q matter for the con-
sideration of the authorities. The libra
ry has already occupied and overflowed
the Radcliffe Camera, and filled with
book shelves the basement of the Shell
DOMAIN theater, and quite recently it has
been granted the use of the basement
of the Ashmolean museum. Indeed,
with the enormous annual output of the
printing presses, the question of the
future growth of all libraries is one of
considerable difficulty. 1t might seem
an easy remedy to reduce the mass by
rejecting outright the enormous guam
tity of ephemeral stuff which manages
to get itself printed. But then who is
to decide. not merely what is or is not
rubbish today but what, by the acci-
dents of history, may not become valu-
able for the future? So much has turn
ed out valuable that once was looked
on lightly that the modern archivist
hesitates about destroying even so much
as theatrical poster. The Bodleian
should, we think, be reserved as a libra
ry for scholars only. For the rest, we
can only await the barbaric conqueror
who will burn our great libraries to the
ground--St. James Gazette.

BESS
BY II. sanford SMITH

The little group Of summer boarders
had finished their o'clock dinner and
were assembled on the low porch of the
old ranch house enjoying small amount
Of gossip and great deal of delightful
California twilight.
"Now, there's a man without a care,
Mr. De Coin" said the young widow
"I'll warrant he works contentedly
about the stables from morning till
night, never thinking of the past or fu-
ture. He gets his bed and board and
possibly few dollars each month-all
he cares for or thinks Of"
The objects Of these remarks, an old
ranch hand, who had been seen slowly
coming along the path that led from the
front gate, suddenly stopped as If star
tied at the shrill cry Of whippoorwill
not far away. Presently he turned and
resumed his course.
You seem to be in a meditative mood
this evening" said the widow, turning
her face toward the newcomer as he
drew near.
Yes" was the reply; IT caint hep

jest as eff it wuz grievin' itself to
death. An eff my pore wife wuz here

Here the old man paused and stood
staring at the ghostly wings of a wind
mill not far away. Presently he went on:

IMMORTALITY.

O thinking brain that lately with us
wroughtst,
By death surprised at thine unfinished
task,
For one, thousand lives thou shouldest
ask;
Learning is Indless, infinite as thought.
Go forth, great mind raised, now death
See, weigh, prove all things. scanned with
larger eye,
Ere thou that slakeless thirst canst
satisfy
o loving heart, unwearied. pure, AND high,
What love is that which loveth only few?
AS though nights plying finger, drop
Made moist one leaf and left all others dry?
Go forth, great heart, and in the vast above
Break through the barriers here that held
thee bound,
Times narrow task-w work, life's mechanic
round;
Go forth, embracing all in boundless love!
What. is all done, because one blood-drop,
Too many choked the highway of the
brain?
Because one heart-lnk snapped in end
Can we Believe it? Ended? Scarce begun.
Begun, as after sleep, nights curtain
drawn,
Refreshed, the toiler wakes to livelier
hours,
To larger trusts, reanimatedi powers,
When with immortal strength comes in the
dawn!
Farewell! perchanca in lesser duties here
Found faithful, there shall virtue rule a
star.
Here crippled, trammeI0 there shall
traN
On Gods great errands, adding sphere to
sphere.
Go. we who loved thee follow. Tears may
flow.
Tears! yet. for weeping, eyes the brighter
shine;
Life is more earthly sweet. but death
divine;
Col we believe; belief is easier now.
'Tis easier now; for kneeling, wrapt in
prayer,
AS with a Fathers lo our spirits bleAl.
Can we believe it death the paltry end?
Death closing all, bubble lost in air!
Lost in world where all for use is given!
And he the chiefest wonder. loftiest Man,
Can we believe it in creations plan
No place. no use for him, in all that bound
less heaven?
Then is all waste and we, who here remain,
Left with illusions! dreamers, left to be
d.
Hoping their outward-bound to see again;
Cheering their grief with tales of greeting
warm
Beyond the mist, across the waters dim,
And all the while they look their last on
him,
Lost in the ocean deep, his dirge the storm
Hence, idle thought And thou, o voice
divine,
That spake of old so strongly, whose
commands
Speak as King, the Lord of many lanes,
Speak to us still! We trust Thee,'we are
Thine.
Thine even in darkest hour, and fearful!
Though trembling. ignorant. oft-times
weak and frail,
Yet with Christ entering within the veil.
Trusting. we whisper, Father. do Thy

Peace Seldom Reigns

BERLIN, Nov. 24.-The recent out
break in the reichstag in the opening
days of the session was surprise to
Germany. as well as to the rest of the
world. And the consensus of opinion is
that it was but the forerunner of many
the opposing parties, and not few fear
that these may end in civil strife. The
dread word revolution has already been
hurled from one side of the chamber
ito the other, and the cheers that received
1t outnumbered the Kisses three to one.
[ Emperor William has made no secret
of his disapproval of the doings Of the
reichstag. He is incensed almost be-
yond control, and this is dangerous
condition Of affairs with man of his
unruly disposition. Yet he is powerless
to have the reichstag conducted as he
