Gan epic to a hero in shreds.l
by FRANK L. STANTON.

BY FRANK L. STANTON.
Heie he is in wreck of gray
With tho tiazen belt Of the &c. s. A."
Men do you know him?
Far away,
, Where battle blackened the face of day
And the rapid river in crimson fed
And Gods white roses were wrecked in red,
His strength he gave and his blood he shed
Following fearless where Stonewall led,
Or galloped wild in the wake of Lee,
In The dashing, mad artillery
Sheled the ranks of the enemy
For the South that was and the South to DO !
Or bore his musket with wounded hands
Der icy rivers and burning sands,
Leveled straight at the hostile bands
That sped liks Death through the ravished
lands
Men ! do ye know him? Grim and gray,
He speaks to you from the far away
There he stands on the prison sod
statue carved by the hand of God
And the deaths he dared, and the paths he
trod,
Plead for him in voice that seems
Wild and sad with the battle dreams,
And memory's river backward streams
With its strange unrest and crimson CLEANS
There he stands like hero-see
He boro his rags and his wounds for ye
He bore the flag Of the warning south,
With rei-sesred hands to the cannon's
mouth
By heaven 1 see as did that day,
His red wounds CLEAN through the rags of
gray
Men of the South Your heroes stand
Statue.like in tho newborn land
Will you pass them by? Will your lips con.
denim?
The wounds on their brave breasts plead for
them
Shall the South that shey gave their blood to
savo
Give them only nameess grave?
Nay for the men who faced the fray
Are hers in trust till the Judgment day
And God himself in the far sweet lands
Will ask their blood of their country's hands
Soldiers You in the wreck of gray,
With the brazen belt Of the 90. 8. A."
Take my love and my tears to day.
Take them-all that have to give
But by Gods grace, while my heart shall live,
1t still shall keep in it's faithful way
The camp fires lit for the men in gray
Aye till the trumpet sounds far away
And the silver bugles of heaven play,
And the roll is called at the judgment day.

MRS. TUT BOFFIN'S PARTY.
The German Lady Was Not Invited and
Spoiled the Social Function.

The German Lady Was Not Invited and
Spoiled the Social Function.
When little Mrs. Tut Boffin, recently
married, moved into the Misery flats, she
arranged TO give an impressive social func-
ton. That affair was to have taken place
last night, but a grand coup by the lone
German lady who lives in the basement
caused an indefinite postponemen6 of tho
party. Still Mrs. Boffin is not sorry that
she neglected to invite the spiteful, mean
creature. So there, now!
The main idea of the party was to i'm
press the other fatters with the impor-
tance of the Boffins and their social con-
nections. Little Mrs. Tut had a sort of
catch as catch can acquaintance with
millionaire contractor who lived in his
own house on the corner and he was ju-
diciously billed the lion of the evening.
The man who revels in a whole house is
regarded with mingled feelings of venera-
ton and respect by fat jewellers every
where, and on their account the diplomatic
Mrs. Boffin invited the entire population
of the Misery flats with the exception of
the German lady in the basement There
was no special reason for overlooking this
estimable person, nor could the Boffins
conjure up an excuse for asking her to the
feast So they totally ignored the German
lady.
"Once I will even get nit her, alretty
yet," murmured the sighted one as tales
of vast preparation on the top floor were
carried to her by considerate fatters who
had been invited.
AS the hour for the function drew near
last night an aroma of back number sauer-
kraut hot and steaming, filtered through
the building. The odor came in fleecy,
greasy banks like fog and hung dripping
from balustrades and walls. The hall
lights blinked dilnly in the suffocating
mist and the f1atters gasped and choked in
their rooms.
and fought their way upward flight by
flight, but none of them reached the Boffin
apartments on the top floor. The million
aire contractor did struggle to the landing,
but got stuck in the stencil which was so
dense between the ceiling and the floor as
to be almost visible to the naked eye.
With q stif1ed wall the millionaire faint
ed dead away and was rescued by a couple
of robust hatters, who said it was an out
rage and a shame that Mrs. Boffin, after
all her boasting and swell pretensions,
should invite decent people to a sauerkraut
banquet and then cook the beastly stuff in
her own rooms. 1t was perfectly ridiculous.
Not a single card was presented at the
Boffin portal The preliminary symptoms
in the hall threw off such flavor that the
guests fed in horror. All that night poor
little Mrs. Tut wept and tore her hair and
moaned.
"Oh, that awful Dutchwoman in the
basementl Wouldn't like to pitch her
head first into her own vile sauerkraut pot
The wretch Oil Obi Ohr'
Down in the basement the vindictive
German lady lifted the deadly pot from the
stove and chuckled:

the right atmospherical conditions,
which the Hutchinson Packing Co. Gre
ates, the grain becomes cube-shaped, or
round, and will not adhere to other
particles. With salt of this nature,
much labor is saved in the sailing of
meat, as it takes hold sooner Being in
the packing business, this Hutchinson
firm understood the necessities Of the
trade, and went to work to supply
them. AS a reward, they do an i'm
mense salt business with the packers
of the country. One good customer is
the Chas- Wolff Packing Co. of Topeka
All of the packers in Omaha use their
salt The $4,000 packages of salt which
will be given away next week at the
Pure Food Show have been standing for
eight months and the salt is in the
same condition as when put in, and not
muggy and solid as is often the case
with other salts. The Hutchinson Pack
ing Co. have been making this grade of
salt but one year, but are elated at the
success of the new method. They make
a fine grade of butter salt, especially
for creameries. Every grain is the
same size, perfectly free of dust, and
will dissolve Immediately.

RODE IN .WHITE" CARS.
Colored Women Arrested for Violat-
ing the Separate Coach Law.

Houston, Jan. 23.-During the last
few days there has been more opposi-
ton than usual to the separate coach
law of Texas on the part of colored
travellers.
Last night three colored women near
ly white, entered the car for whites on
a Southern Pacific. train at the depot
and were not discovered until the train
had reached a suburban depot. The
conductor asked them to vacate the car
and go into the compartment set aside
for them by law. They refused, and,
calling police assistance, the conductor
had the colored people arrested for a
violation of the separate coach law
Conductors are held responsible if
they permit violation of the law,
which is punishable by a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $50. This is
the first case and will be made a test.

The G. A.Murdock Manufacturing Co.
is a Kansas City firm of sixteen years
standing, and has built up an establish
ed reputation as manufacturers of pure
products. They grind all their own
goods and handle nothing which they
do not manufacture themselves They
are large importers of spices, and have
secured fiattering tributes as to the
purity of the same. This company man

used throughout the country. One in
tereSting feature in the Murdoch COM
panYS' exhibit at the Pure Food Show
(and one which visitors should not over
look) is large jar containing Mexican
Vanilla beans. each nineincheS or more
in length. Those not familiar with the
appearance of the vanilla bean will
doubtless overlook these. There ara.
eight pounds of these beans in the lar
and they are worth SIG per pound, or
SIPS. The company has 1000 or more
invested in vanilla beans alone. These
are in stock. AS the vanilla crop last
year was a failure, there will be con-
siderable dependence upon them to sup
ply the market One of the most IA
nous articles the Murdoch company
manufactures and handles is ''Manhat-
tan Baking Powder
This baking powder has an excellent
reputation and is demonstrated to be
absolutely pure. 1t is put up in cans
only, from six ounces to five pounds
Other goods manufactured by this COM
pany are Hewson's Concentrated Fla
voring Extracts and Murdocll's Hecla
brand of coffee. Being Theoretically
sealed, this coffee will keep fresh for
any length of time in any climate.
This company makes broad claims as
to the purity of it's goods and they are
subStantiated in every way The
United States government has given
them high endorsement by placing their
contract with the company by placing
their contract with the company to sup

CHICAGO'S CYCLE SHOW.
Opens Tonight in the Coliseum
Prospects of Success,

Chicago, Jan. 23.-The second annual
exhibition of bicycles and accessories,
under the auspices of the National Cycle
Board of Trade, which opens at the Col
iseum Saturday night, will, lit is claimed,
be the greatest show ever given in the
interest of any single industry. There
will be over $50 different exhibits in all,
and it is believed that the big building
will shelter show twice as large as
any ever before held on the same line.
The exhibition lasts for a week in Chi
cago. After that the show will have
another session in Madison Square Gar
den, New York. Nearly all the prin-
cipal manufacturers are already in the
city, as well as the leading riders of the
country.
The interior of the Coliseum presents
a wild scene of disorder below the gal
1eries. Workmen were scurrying about
it yesterday, porters were going here,
there and everywhere, showing heavily
laden slxids before them, a host of car
penterS, painters, carpet layers and
electricians were putting the vast build
ing in order.
Above the chaos and on the floor hung
serenely picturesque a gorgeous line of
decoration. Each of the mammoth steel
trestles was festooned with tri-colored
bunting. From the center of each giant
span hung a big American flag and at
pleasing intervals large Japanese Ian
terms were suspended Inc emDeluSn-
7nents, as promised by Director HoI-
BACH it is safe to say, excel any past
attempt of a similar nature for a tenn
porary display. When the $4,000 lights
are turned on, one may predict the
scene will be one of rare SplendOr.
One of the rich decorative features
will be the Outing electrical sign. The
sign weighs more than 500 pounds and
cost 1000. So complicated is its mech
anism that it was necessary to use 6, Up
feet of wire in making it. Two hum
dred and fifty-one eight-candle power
incandescent lights are necessary to
form the inscription. The background
of the sign is of white and gold. Six
differently coIored globes are used, the
effect of which resembles a rainbow
with vari- colored light thrown in all
directions. The colors used are green,
blue, purple, red, amber and white.

Ger the ice Matilda's tripping
On her toes.
And with eyeballs shining, pining,
See yon little skater skim,
While the hide is rudely ripping
From his nose,
From his nose,
While the hide is ruoely ripping from his
nose.
Oh, the golden corn is popping
With effervescent bang,
And the merry blazes ripple
On the rug,
And on fairy seas 1 m Topping
Like blithe orang outang.
While dream about the tipple
In the jug.
There's Shanghai rooster nesting
On the spinal of the cow,
And the crust the sparrow dirkles
On the jump
And yon little urchin wrestling
With his romping boVv-wow-wow
Sees the milkman as he circles
Round the pump,
Round the pump,
Sees the milkman he circles round the
pump.
Pile the logs upon the blazcs.
Let them sizzle with q sizz,
While within the chair that's easy

Oh, float through fairy mazes,
Like the berry on the fzz,
When the summers breezy, greasy
Zephyr blows
While the wind is weirdly whining
Through my music haunted dream,
Ring the sleighbells' ding-a-n nglets
On the street.
Oh, the apple jacks com bining
With the water now a-steam,
And I'm happy from my ringlets
To my feet,
To my feet
And I'm happy from my ringlets to my

SHOWING AGAIN IN DAKOTA
Railroads Have Besn Snow Bound
Since January 3.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 23.-The Dako-
tas are getting their fill of weather this
year. A special to the dispatch from
Aberdeen, S. D., says:
The present winter is breaking all
records for heavy snow storms and
railroad blockades. Early last night
snow began falling again and the wind
setting in this morning, the cuts on
east and west railroad lines have again
been drifted full.
This end of the H. &, D. division of
the Milwaukee and the Great Northern
lines from Breckenridge has been snow
bound since January 8, with a very
short interval. North and south lines
are generally operated, though only half
loads can be drawn.
A special from Casselton, n. D., says
the thermometer is falling and is now
26 degrees below zero. Trains are all
blockaded and cuts filling in.

KILLED on TEXAS SANTAFE
Three Men Killed by Engine Hitting
Handcar Near Houston.

Houston. Tex, Jan. 23.-As the result
of a collision between a hand car and
a locomotive on the Santa Fe road last
evening at Sealy, short distance north
of here, two men are dead and a third
Isl dying.
There were nine on the car when it
was struck by the engine, which was
going at a rapid rate. Six of them
jumped in time to avoid being injured,
but the others delayed too long. Mike
DOnovant was cut almost in twain and
James Barry was struck in the head
and died two hours later.
VIM. Handley was struck in the face
by the cylinder of the engine, which al
most mashed his head. Physicians
think that he cannot recover. He has
been taken to the Santa Fe hospital at
Temple. The dead man was buried at
SealV.
