A sIGNBoARp.
1 will paint you a sign, rumseller,

l will paint you a sign, rumseller,
And hang it oyer your door,
A truer and better signboard
Than even you had before.
l will paint with the skill of a master
And many shall pause to see
This wonderful piece of painting,
So like the reality.
l will paint yourself, rumseller,
As you wait for that fair young boy,
Just in the morning of manhood,
A mothers pride and joy.
He had no thought OF stopping,
But you met him with a smile,
And you seemed so blithe and friendly.
That he paused to chat awhile.
1 will paint you a sign, rumseller,
Ipaint you as you stand,
With n foaming glass of liquor
Extended in each hand.
He waivers, but you urge him:
"Drink, pledge me ust this one,n
And he lifts the glass and drains it,
And the hellish work is done.
And I next will paint a drunkard,
only a year has flown,
But into this loathsome creature
The fair young boy has grown.
The work was short and rapid;
l will paint him as he lies
In a torpid, drunken slumber,
Under the wintry skies.
I will paint the form of the mother,
As she kneels at her darling's side,
Her beautiful boy that was dearer
Than all the world beside,
l will paint the shape of a coffin,
Tabled with one word, "Lost."
l will paint all this, rumseller,
And paint it free of cost,
The sin and the shame and the sorrow,
The crime and the want and the woe,
That is born there in your workshop,
No hand can paint, you know.
But l will paint you a signboard,
And many shall pause to view
This wonderful, Weakening signboard,
So terribly, SO ~fearfully true.

AN IMMIGRATION IDEA.

Perhaps the immigration question
may be settled partially through the
aid of Italy, from which country so
many undesirable new citizens are be-
ing annually shipped. 1t has been eX-
planned to the Italian government that
the United States proposes to continue
to send back all the poor and improv-
ident people who have been induced
to leave Italy through the advices OF
steamship and immigration agents,
and that it is worse than useless for
these new home-seekers to waste their
small earnings in paying for the sea
passage when they will not be allowed
to land. The italian government seems
to have shown willingness to coop
crate i'm this movement, which is GER
tain to prove a benefit to the United
States. as well as to those who are
certain to be classed under the head
of undesirable immigrants.

pealed to the majority in view of the

NO DOUBT OF A FIGHT.

mons Mahcr MIN.

EL PAso, Texas, Feb. 81 .-Every.
ching points to a fight tomorrow, and
everybody is preparing for an all night
ride. The exact location of the battle
ground is still a matter Of conjecture,
but Stuart will give out the tip TO the
faithful this evening. The general
impression is that it will be across the
Mexican border in some isolated spot,
and the whole affair is practically the
Sullivan-k ilrain fight over again.
The fight train will leave here ONE
time tonight, arriving at the ringside
early tomorrow morning, when the
battle will bc pulled off and the party
return to El Paso as rapidly az is pos
siblc. The ring and seat builders dis
appeared yesterday, and everybody
feels that the agony will be over be-

Peter Mahcr came in from Las CRU

start for the battle-ground at any time

who will assist him AZ the ringside. A

UNION PACIFIC SALE.
Receiver Anderson objects Ia the Central
Pacii" i'eing Disposed or Separately.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I.-Mr. Andcr.
son, IA receiver of the Union Pacific
railroad, and cN.Congrcssman combs
a government director, appeared be-
iorc the mousse committee on Pccitic
railroads to-day. They asked that the
Union anu Central Pacific roads be put
up Tor sale as a whole and given to
the highest bidder. Mr.. Anderson
submitted an amendment to the bill
presented to the committee by him.
providing for the issue of patents 10
the several roads. The Union Pacific.
he said. had used the proceeds of tho
sale OF lands fer the payment of in
tercSt on bonds; what was done with
The money secured from the bonds he
did not know. The Union Pacific
was very much misunderstood as
to its financial ability, for. though
~ was insolvcnt, IL had been
able TO pay every bill for operating
expenses. The proposition to sell the
properties IN separate parts was not
good. They should be sold as "A whole.
ana in that way would bring n much
hlgher price than otherwise. All
propositions for any other solution
than u sale, he said, would meet with
opposition from Congress, for however
meritorious they might be, il was i'm
possible to secure a unanini,y of opin.
ion from so large a body.
Mr.. COMBS agreed with the promo
sition that the roads should be sold
together and carry ont TIE original
plan tnatthey should be n through line
from the Missouri river To the Pacific.
The government would probably oh
TAIN $4,000, COO from them. 1t might
be well, he said, for the government
to protect itself by making an upset
price. IL would also be well to bring
those persons owning terminal facili.
ties into the suit to settle the question
whether the terminals should be sold
with the road. The government
should not sell its lien upon the prop
critics IL we can rid ourselves of this
railroad scandal, he said, the value of

promise TO Mrs. Sarah Is. Cooper and
was a witness against the accused

DR.. Brown had been unduly intimate
with her and that their relations were
known to Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Davidson, the cause OF all Or.
Browns troubles, appeared before the
council in charge of a deputy sheriff

Ister. She ccuse Brown of
adultery with Miss Overman, with
causing an unlawful operation to be
performed and with various kinds Of
deception. She also saws she las a
statement in reserve which is IA
"s~corchcr.'
DR.. Brown prevailed upon the coun.
Gil 10 listen without delay to his de-
NAL OF h serious allegations of Mrs.
Stockton.
The proceedings were cnlivened bv

Sarah u. Cooper and the Kew. DR..
Brown. Following this it was an.
nounced that the accused pastor and
Miss Matte Overman would examine
the Overman.Tunuell letters. Or.

WALLER A FREE MAN.
He Il Released From Prison-wm Joi.
Ills Family.

Tvs GHtitIvs
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2~2.-Sccretarv
Olney received IA cablegram to-day
from Ambassador Eustis, announcing
that Waller, the cX-consul at NADIA
gascar. was released from prison to-
day. 1t is expected that Waller will
join his family ia the United States.
As Waller is entirely destitute of
means, Ambassador Eustis has been
authorized by Secretary Olney TO pro-
vide him with transportation to the
United States. lie has been in prison
for nearly a year, having been ar
rested on the 9TH of March last, in
Madagascar, and afterwards being
kept in confinement in the military
prison in France. The authorities
here feel that they have reason to be
gratitied at the outcome of the case,
which, as revealed by the correspond
encc on the subject, came nearer
than the public vas aware Mt one time
OF leading to severance of diplomatic
relations between the two republics,
The point at issue was not whether
Waller was guilty of the ~offense
charged against him, but whether the
government had the right to insist
upon satisfying Itself that the Amcri-
can citizen mad had justice.
The Waller family that,
upon Walters return from France,
they will return to Kansas. and will
live again in their old home in Kansas

by q Man Waiting In Ambush.

ny q MAN waiting In ambush
WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 2l.-A cold
blooded murder was perpetrated last
night at Anthony. in the southwestern
part of the state. Charles Rodman, n
prominent farmer, returned from
Harper, Kan, about 8 o'clock, where
he had been on business. His family
heard him enter the yard, unhitch his
team and = few moments later heard
n loud report. His son, Claud, who
was in the house, ran % the door,
when he saw another flash, and saw
his father reel. and fall. and saw an
unknown man disappear in the dark
ness. On reaching his father he found
him dead, with gunshot wounds in his
left arm and another charge of slugs
IN his breast.
The excitement is intense, and II
the assassin is captured, there will
very probably be q lynching party in
that vicinity.
