LAVE

On the shore long years ago,
When the summer wind blew low,
They watched the morning pillows fiow.
She stood beneath the curling vine.
Her eyes fixed on the purple line.
Which marks the rosy days decline.
The pillows, as the tale be told.
With music trembied as they rolled.
The starlight fell In purer gold.
Her spell-bound lips breathed forth TO words
Love felt itself in silence heard
The angels wing the fount had stirr'd.
Far from the mereenary mart,
They stood in solitude apart,
But soul with soul and heart with heart.
For them the weary world grew young,
For them the unseen Ministries sung.
And guardian spirits round them hung.
They charmed that flying hour 70 stay
Though sun and moon might pass away
And turn the darkness into day.

Messrs. Editors 1T seems to me If our

by enacting q Law allowing all vessels or
steamers to land freight and passengers on

As the law now stands, our people are
entirely at the mercy and cupidity of one

HANNA'S PLAN OF BATTLE.
He Doesn't Expect to Hold Republi-
cans but to Win Democrats.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Before leaving Sat
urday for Cleveland, where he spent
Sunday with Major Mckinley, Chair
man Hanna outlined the policy of the
Republican campaign. He said:
1.-The educational work will be contin-
ued until September /, when it is pro-
posed to open all along the line with an
army of the best stump speakers in the
party. I fully believe that all the mid
die western states are perfectly safe for
Mckinley and Hobart, but we are going
to fight just as hard as if there were
great danger of losing them. We will
give the people exactly the kind of a
campaign that they want. Our plat
form is the text from which speakers
will draw their inspiration. We not
only expect to hold all the Republicans
in line, but to win thousands of con-
verts from the Democratic party. I
believe the third ticket will do us
great deal of good in some places and
harm in others. Scores OF Democrats
who have repudiated the Chicago plat
form and ticket will vote for Mckinley
anyway"
Mr.. Hanna will go to New York to-
day and devote himself all this week
to the headquarters in that city
It is understood the factional differ
enceS in New York state have not been
entirely harmonized, although the ma
tional committee and the Platt machine
are working together right along, in ac-
cOrdance with the arrangement made
between Ny. Hanna and Thomas G.
PIatt ten days ago
Mr. Hanna declined to discuss this
matter, but intimated strongly that no
change would be made in the plans
bureau has been established by the ma
tiOnal committee with Niels Cron of
Boston in charge His headquarters
will be in Chicago.

MARTINS REJECTION.
Attorney Tells Why the
Chief Justice was Defeated.

Leavenworth Aug. IA prominent
attorney stated today that the last
volume of decisions from the Kansas
supreme court contains more aff1rma-
lions against trials in lower courts for
damages against railroad companies
than any volume since the organiza-
ton of the supreme court of Kansas.
This" said the gentleman, accounts
for the turning down of Judge Martin
by the railroad companies.
1T is the first time in many years
that clients who have justice on their
side have ever been able to secure it
promptly at the hands of the highest
judicial tribunal in the state. I am
sorry to see that the railroad cOmpa-
MES were permitted to dictate to the
Republican party the nomination for
chief justice of the supreme court of
Kansas. If there was no other public
question before the people than this
One-the control by the corporations of
the high courts of the state-it would
alone be sufficient to defeat the party
at the polls.
4 am satisfied, however, that this
will add greatly to the troubles of the
party in this campaign and be a great
factor in bringing it to the feet of the
people of Kansas.

FOR SELLING BEER.
A Place Near the Wolff Packing
House Raided.


The police raided a joint on Quincy
street Saturday night and arrested the
proprietor, Mrs. Emily Helmann and
her two sons, Cult and Albert Hell
mann.
They were selling beer in the rear
of their house on Quincy street near
the Wolff packing house.
The police got there a little late and
secured only five bottles of beer. Two
empty kegs which had just been emp
tied a short time before, were seized.
At the police station when the Off
GERS were about to lock Mrs Helmann
in the woman's Jail room, she objected
seriously.
- -, I can't go in dere; 1 got
childer at home. No, be d if 1 go
in dere.''
But she went in and her two sons
were locked in the mems Jail room.
All had considerable small change
in their pockets, and one of the men
had two letters which were written by
the Schlitz Brewing company's agent
at Kansas City. Following is a copy
of them;
