THE ROBINS FTNERiL.

BY Louise Chandler Moul'on.
Take him gently. lay him low.
Where the pale primroses blow.
BY and hy will come the snow.
But to-day the green things gr0Vt
Make his grave.
He will hear no sounds Of spring.
Fairy blossom-bells that ring,
Streams that murmur. birds th3t sin0
For he knows not anything:
Make his grave.
Happy in the happy May.
Wooing with his rounielay,
His brown mate but yesterday.
Rllthe he sang-ah. none so gay.
Make his grave.
Spring without him comes and coca
And the royal summer grows
Glad with lily and with rose.
Autumn ripens. winter SHOWS.
Round his grave.

All May Recover.

JEFFERSON, Ia, Feb. 20-(Special.) ,
Young George Fleck, the 17-year-old boy
who assisted his father in the terrible fight
near Patton three weeks ago with the Brown
family, has recovered sufficiently from the
shot received in the back to be moved, and
is now in jail with his father The boy
tells a pitiful story, that makes his fathers
villainy stand out the palmer. George says
he didn't want to accompany his father on
the murderous errand, but that his father
drove him to il with threats. The boy was
lame and tried to beg off, but the father
was obdurate and compelled him to get out
the horse and come horseback. When nearly
to the Brown home George again protested
and tried to induce his father to come back,
but without avail. The old man had shot
gun and he looked threatenlngly at his son,
and the attack was made, After the fight
had begun the boy fought like tiger. The
elder Fleck, who was so terribly battered and
torn about the head and face, has nearly
recovered, but will always carry some ugly
scars as a reminder of that nights work.
The elder Brown has also recovered, and
young John Brown, whom it was thought
could not possibly survive, is slowly i'm
proving and will probably get well. The
trial comes off at the next term Of court,
which convenes early in March.

The case was appealed and hung fire In

The house and senate committee on mill

to remove the melallons from the soldiers

mittee is in favor of the removal of about
a dozen and the addition of some thirty
more, to be selected from the regiments that
are unrepresented. The proposed removal uf
the medallons of brevet captains and col
onels who saw no actual service is creating
much dissatisfaction among the friends OF

Popular Chnrity Organization.


Popular Chnrity Organization.
The Workngmen's Friendly club a crea-
tion Of the charitable heart and the fertile
brain Of Rev. Henry DeLong, the Good
Samaritan of Council Bluffs, has gone glinl-
mering. 1t started out with the brightest
prospects and promised to be of great benefit
TO the work ngmen of the city. those with
Jobs as well these without work. 1t was
started as "a relgio- political organ cation
where the discussion of religion and politics
was forbidden and it sailed along very
smoothly for several weeks.
Workingmen met en- terms of equality and
took q friendly interest in each other. The
literary features of the meetings stimulated
their minds and the social influences weTa
far better than those usually enjoyed by
many c. the members of the club. PeoDle
who wanted to employ labor were getting
into the habit CT going there, where they
were certain 10 find some able-bodied men
anxious to get honest employment. In short,
the club was rapidly progressing along mod
ern lines that gave satisfactory indications
that it would soon be counted among the
prominent economic and intelligent institu-
lions o: the city.
But 1t Is no more. 1t was disbanded at the
last meeting and the hall closed. very much
to the regret Of its founder and supporters.
1t fell prey to the Coxeyites. During the
last few meetings the chronic political agi-
ta.oFS came lN'O 100 Hucn prominence anu
by reason Cs superior numbers ran things
to suit themselves. Political discussions
were INDUCED in and bitter partisan
speeches made In spite of the president and
the orig nal members. The last straw was
the invitation of General Kelsey. the
Omaha CoXey!te to come over and make one
of his radical harangues on the general evils
OF the times. He came in defiance of the
wishes of the real club men and made his
speech on free silver and free everything.
1t was not as anarchistic as was feared, but
the founders of the club concluded that If it
was to be captured at will by those who
refused or failed to comprehend the motives
and objects of the organization it was time
to close the hall.
At the conclusion of the meeting DeLong
rendered his resignation as president and an
nounced that from Monday II ght the hall
would be cicsed for all other purposes than
his girls industrial school. The Coxeyitrs
have made arrangements to meet occasionally
in the court house 1t Is generally believed
that the club would have escaped molestation
had 1t not been for the political agitation
consequent upon the near approach Of the
city election.
