HONOR THY FATHER.

When the sweet breath of roseate child
hood hutters
When the small voice Is plant of weak
The embodied innocence of angel spheres,
Who can portray the joy with which a
other
Marks the unfolding of the infant mind?
Unmatched her yearning love is by another
Affection in the ken of human kind
And in the days when childish footsteps
faltered,
The parents first delight was watching
Those budding lives their tender care un-
altered,
Their hearts unchanged. except to love
The depth of their affection what can
measure?
Constant to US, alike in sun and shade:
We bear the record in fond memory's
treasure,
Craven in characters that will not fade.
Then let our warmest sympathies be glow
AS heavily upon the staff they lean;
IT'S theirs to reap sweet fruit of bitter
sowing:
It's ours to love and serve for what hath
When, spent with age and untold burdens
bearing.
They near the outlet of nfe's tangled
maze,
May we our noblest mission find in cheer
The gloom that haunts the evening of
their days.
Then say not. with the worIdling, shallow
hearted:
-'They shall receive their due reward on
high
And write their filial love to the departed
On marble tombS, their name to glorify.
But let our kindliest feeling find expression
Ere tyrant death hath reared the bearded
grain;
Too soon the cold earth-chamber claims
possession,
When flowers ara Streyved and taars 70
shed, in vain.

SOLDIERS PENSIONS.

Dectsion of Interest to Inmates of Homes
for Disabled Veterans.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Oct 1O.-The state
supreme court handed down a decision
in the celebrated soldiers home PEN
sion case yesterday. The case was
from Marshall county, where the SOL
diers' home is located. 1t had been
decided by the trustees of the home to
retain, from the pens ions of inmates
of the home who had no dependent
relatives, all their pension money in
excess of Sc a month. The inmates
took the matter into court, and Judge
Hindman, in the district court.
held that the trustees had no right
to interfere with pensions, and ordered
them to refund to the inmates all the
money taken from their pensions. A
permanent injunction was issued, re-
straining the trustees from enforcing
the rule. The case is completely re-
versed by the higher court 1t holds
that the state is providing for the
main tenance of the old soldiers who
are in the home, and that it would be
manifest injustice to require society
to support them twice, once with their
pensions and again with the facilities
of the home.

has followed up its prohibition of the
importation of American dressed beef
and live cattle into Germany by

MURDER AND ROBBERY.

SAo Bank df Sherbourno, MIMI. Rafded -
Masked Men ON Bicycles.
FAIRMoNr. Mimi, Oct 9.-Two
masked and bicycle-mounted robbers
swept into the little town of Sher-
burne. IA miles from here, yesterday,
dashed into the Bank of Sherburne,
murdered the cashier, by-stander
and secured 81 100 from the cash tray,
mounted their wheels and escaped be-
fore the eyes of the startled villagers.
The affair was conducted with all the
bravado of the border drama, and the
killing of the two men. one of whom
died instantly. was purely wanton, as
neither made any resistance.
At about 1:3O o'clock two masked
men walked through the front en-
trance of the bank to the cashiers box
and, without a word. whipped out their
revolvers and 1eveled them at Cashier
Thorburn. The latter did not move,
but the next minute the report of two
revolvers rang out and Cashier Thor
burn fell at his desk. At another desk
in the bank stood Oerstern, a travelling
man. He was the only immediate bar
to the ends to which the robbers sought
to gain, and as Thorburn fell to the
floor they turned and shot him dead.
AS quickly possible they leaped over
the railing and secured 81, 900 in cash.
They then ran for the back door of the
bank, where they had taken the pre-
caution to leave their bicycles, mount
ed them and rode away.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 9--Advices re-

total democratic majority at SO, 100.
This estimate is based on the vote for
Atkinson for governor, which is in
many cases less than that cast for the
other state officials. 1t is not belle we'd
the final returns will materially alter
this estimate. The legislature is al
