A DREAM.

And here the sky, and here the glad
H il was but a dream l had
" While the musician played
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran,
Anr here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze
AS Ger the field of marigolds
Our eyes swan Ger the seas;
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About this diadem.
The sea gull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.
James Whitcomb Riley.

ELECTIONS BEFORE NOVEMBER
Six states Vote for Local Officers
During the Next Three Months.

The monetary issue will undoubtedly
anect the vote at the state elections oc
curing before the roundup in November,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. This issue
will color all political movements until
the controversy is quieted for the present
al the presidential election, and much
significance will, therefore, be given to
the returns from some of the states. Thi.
Will be particularly the case with respect
TO Maine, the residence of the democratic
candidate for vice president
A the state election in 1894 there were
four tickets in the field. The vote was:
Republican, SO, 500: democratic 30,621:
populist. 1921; prohibition. 2130 The re-
publican plurality was 3S ,979 in that year.

contests was between the democrats and
populists The democratic vote was no.

played no part in the election At the
presidential election in 1892 the vote
stood: Democratic. 13S, 1873; populist, So. 1871:
republican. 9197. The state, by the fusion
OF the democrats and populists on the
Chicago platform. is hopelessly dems-
cratic. of course. and the returns from
the August election will throw little light
upon the progress of the battle of the
monetary standards.

vote stood: Democratic, 4SO9; republi-
can, 26,OS5; populist, 24,541. The striking
feature of the exhibit is the large in
crease of the populst and the decline OF
the republican vote. There was "A fall

1t will be seen by the above, which are
official statistics, that there were in the
aggregate 1874, 900 less people employed in
1895 than i'm 1873, and this in view of the
fact that production has vastly increased.
Note, also. that while the hand workers
have decreased by 1856. 700. the machine
workers have only increased by 200.
Given that the construction of machinery
will occpy some of the displaced workers,
there is still a large number to be ac-
counted for who must be in the labor
market competing for the right to min
lister to the wealth of the factory owner,
who uses machinery for the purpose of
creating profit and displacing labor. Is
it any wonder that the doctrine of collec-
tive ownership is so strong in the min
of worker and thinker? The old gag is
played out-that the use of machinery
creates opportunities for labor The
definition ''labor-saving machinery" is
truly applied. Under present conditions
it might be additionally known as labor
starving machinery"

CHURCH WHICH TRAVELS BY RAIL

One of the latest inventions in the fold

Philadelphia Record.
The machinery for raising a steeple over
the queer church is capable of lifting the

this is put on there is nothing but the
railroad track and car wheels to Indicate

Braces and rods strengthen the floor

HE KNEW BEANS.

IT YOUNG minister tells this on him
M self: He was in an intensely New
u YEnglandish neighborhood to supply
the church of the town morning and
evening. 1t was the custom here to send
the parson around the circle, so to speak,
and at the house he was first introduced
into for his first evening meal on the Sat
urday night previous to Sunday, a savory
dish of Boston baked beans was the piece
de resistance of the table. He was of
New Englandish ancestry himself and so
he fell to and ate with a royal relish. He
liked the beans and he ate enormously
there was nothing the matter with the
beans or his appetite.
He did not stay all night at this home
but went to another residence. Visions OF
rolls and golden brown coffee and perhaps
bit of broiled steak or a juicy chop
were in his head-or his mouth-as he
went into the dining ROOM But the prin-
cipal dish of this hose 1t seemed, on a Sat
urday night was beams, so they had
beans for breakfast, and, as the family
was all fond of beans they didn't have
anything else.
Making out as respectable a show as
possible, the parson finished his break
fast, went to church, preached to the
best of his ability, and then, nearly fam
ished with hunger, was escorted to a
third house for dinner. This family was
OF the good old puritan type, and they did
not believe in cooking warm meals on the
Sabbath, so they all went to church to
hear the new minister and depended for
their dinners chief adornment and de-
light upon the huge pot of beans which
depleted somewhat through the family
attack, was still able to produce enough
leguminous sustenance depths for the
noon-time meal.
The preacher said he wasn't very fond
of beans, but he did the best possible
under ri OF fA
full fioodtide of his feelings.
Happily he was rescued in the afternoon
by another member of the parish, who
asked him over to have a bite before
meetin' in the evenin."
I'VE kind o. thought you would like
some baked beans for supper" the good
wife said. I'VE don't usually have 'em
for supper, but KNOWN as how you were
an eastern boy we thought you'd meDbe
like snack of genuine old Boston baked
before your evenin' sarmount."
The minister didn't faint; neither did
he swear. He just shut his teeth, girded
up his loins and sailed in.
He stayed in this house all night, and
when the morning was come. before time
Tor his train, breakfast was served, and
once more they had beans, this time
warmed over for a change More dead
than alive, the young parson made his
way out of the town. And as he did so
it is not at all improbable that his mind
reverted to a text appropriate for his dis
course II ever he should again be thrown
into this camp of Bostonese:
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and
barley, and beans. and lentils, and millet,
and htches. and put them into one vessel
and make thee bread thereof, according to
the number of days thou shalt lie upon
thy side, 800 days shalt thou eat thereof &"

The store of the Knapp & Laws
Co., was closed on Thursday last by
an attachment from local creditor,
and an assignment of all the prop
erty, accounts, etc, of the company,
aside from that attached, was made
for the benefit of the Nevada credi-
tors. The cause of this difficulty is
the general depression and the ina
bility of the Knapp & Laws Com
pany to collect from those owing
them rapidly enough to meet the de-
aands upon them.
The closing of this establishment
caused considerable comment through
out the county and expressions of

VIDA LUEI4LA BOWLER.


There is a Reaper, whose name is Death.
And, with his sickle keen,
/ lie reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between"
One of the fairest buds that ever
frightened the iuterspaces among
the bearded grain in Hawthorne's
pleasant field of humanity, was little
Vida Luella, youngest daughter of
p NJ. Bowler.
Four short weeks ago, alive aud
we'll, she was the pride and JOY of
her parents, the delight of their
friends-the sweetest of sweet chill
dren-a bud soft and tender, yet full
of strong promise of a gladstone
blossom time in girlhoods future.
Alas for the stability of earthly
hopes! The sickle keen of the
Reaper flashed into the sunlight
of home, and Vida was laid low.
Never, in this vale of tears, shall the
tiny bud unfold, but the blossoming
day shall dawn in land that is fair
err than this.
In the loss of their little one, Mr..
and Mrs. Bowler have the sympathy
of ALL Vidas brief life of two years
and three months began in Haw-
thorne, but ended in Midas, Nye
county, whittier the family had gone
for pleasant Summer sojourn. There
all the children were stricken with
scarlet fever, and there the fairest
and best beloved lies buried
AS time wears on the blessing OF
having Elsie, Walter and Harold
still with them will shine into the pa
rents hearts, dispelling the heavy
gloom of their loss, but just now
there is pain and void that no
word of comfort can sooth or fill.
Yet, mourn her not, bereaved ones
For On Heavens shining Shore
Your Vida stands mid Angel bands,
In joy for evermore.
And God, at her sweet pleading
Will send you strength and grace,
Till you at last-earth's griefs all past
Will see her radiant face.
