INDIAN AGENTS.
Attempt to Have Civilians Appointed Does

Washington, May 22.-Polticians
who are seeking office are trying 10
persuade Secretary Bliss to substitute
civilians for the several army officers
that have been detailed as Indian
agents. A similar attempt was made
to break down this policy under the
last administration, and the attack was
made, rs now, upon officers serving In
Nebraska. Captain Beck of the Tenth
cavalry, who has charge of the Omaha
and Winnebago agency, Is very often,
sivc to politicians, contractors and the
cattlemen who have unlawfully per-
suaded the Indians to lease them lands
for grazing purposes. Captain Beck
has repudiated these leases, and he has
been sustained in The courts, as well as
by the President, the secretary of war,
the secretary Of the interior. and the
commissioner of Indian affairs under
the last administration. The senators
and representatives from Nebraska at.
tackled the policy under which Beck
was appointed, and demanded that all
army officers, who are serving MS In.
dian agents, be recalled. While they
failed In this, President Mckinley has

NLovINe MEMORY OF MARGARET.
Little Daugh.er of MT. and Mrs. Thomas
 Hardeman.


 Little Daughter of MT and Mrs. Thomas
 Hardeman.
 On the morning of February 8, 1897, ere yet the twilight of the dawn was dis pelled, the spirit of Margaret McRae Hardeman was gently folded in the lov- ing embrace of the death angel.
 Margaret was i'll but for a short time, yet her little frame was racked with in tensest pain and her brow was seorched with raging levers. All that medical sxiil could devise or that affectionate deyo- ton suggest was done, yet nothing save the touch of the death angels hand erased the expression of pain and gave relief to the patient little sufferer.
 It is so hard to realize that Margaret is dead; so hard to know that one so in- nocent, so guileless, so pure, should have lived and should have done with life so soon
 Margaret was a child whose mind was far beyond her years, developed to re- markable degree, yet so simple and child like in it's innocent questioning. Her dis position was affectionate, trusting, un- selfish, loving, lovable and lovely. These traits made her at once the sunshine of school, where she is sadly missed, and her little desk regarded as something sacred, because-"Margare is dead"
 Indeed, our hearts are bowed in deep est grief as we think of this beautiful "gem of purest ray serene" lost forever to mortal sight-yet we smile through these tears when we know that now Margaret is among the fairest jewels that sparkle and glitter in the Masters crown, flashing the light of eternity.
 To the bereaved parents whose sor row seems too sacred to know human sympathy, we can only say, Look up, and trace on this clcud of afliotion in le.- ters that glow, the words of the Master. My grace is sufficient" i" Borrowing ones be comforted: remember Our Fathers goodness In lending Margaret to us for 'earth's little while" to make home hap pier, life purer, better nobler and love sweeter. Now heaven is nearer and Christ is dearer than in all the glorious yesterdays.
 May the Comforter bind these bruised hearts, and the peace of God, which posseth understanding keep them until ''The shadows from the earth are past, Until He gathers in His sheaves at last, Until the twilight gloom be oyer-past" There is no death,
 What seems so is transition, This life of mortal breath
 Is but a suburb of the life elysan Whose portal we call death. She is not dead
 This child of our affection, But gone unto that school
 Where she no longer needs our protection, And Christ Himself doth rule. In that great cloister's stiffness and se-
 clusion,
 By guardian angels led,
 Safe from temptations,
 Safe from sins pollution, She lives whom we call dead"
