.COME UNTO ME-"

Oft when the tide of life runs low,
And brain and soul are sick with doubt,
And life seems tull OF grief and woe,
Aud mocking devils ieer and fiout.
/ turn unto my Lord in prayer,
know his strength than mine is best,
And 10! A sweet voice thrills the air
Come unto Me, We weary laden,
And I will give you rest"
Sometimes the night is very dark,
The way is rough and wounds my feet,
And life lies stretched out wan and stark |;
The winds blow fierce and falls the sleet
fear, and fearing, fain would fall
Beneath the shadows dire distress,
But that hear my Savior call
"Come unto Ne, We weary laden,
And will give you rest"
And often when the waters roll
And surge and foam around me here,
And threaten to engulf my soul,
Roaring and rolling swift and near,
My strongest efforts seem in vain.
How can 'scape SO hard oppressed
And then hear that voice again.
" Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And l will give you rest"
Some days my burden bears me down;
/ cannot see the far-of skies:
The grim, gray cross obscures the crown,
And in my heart hope faints and dies,
But leaps 10 life when, sweet and low,
With love and mercy full expressed,
These words across the silence CO.
" Come unto Me- We weary laden,
And 1 will give you rest"
Yea, Lord, come to thee in all
The evils that afllict my day,
And at thy feet repentant fall,
For doubts that daunt and fears that STAY
Give unto me. o give me more,
The strength to bear, the longing best,
Extend thy shield my face before,
For indeed am weary laden,
And come to thee for rest

There is some unwritten history con-
cerni-g the appointment soon to be
made by President Mckinley Of assistant
United States district attorney for Kan
sas. Mr D. II. Brown of this city for
! merry lived in Carroll county, Ohio. He
was delegate to the congressional con-
vention which met in Alliance, Ohio. in
1876. At this convention for the first
time Major VIM. McKinIey's name was
presented as a candidate. Mr.. Browns
vote decided the fate OF the man who
now rules this great nation. Mr.. Brown
cast his vote for Mckinley. and his was
the one vote that was needed to nomin-
ate Major Mckinley for congress.
That same year Mr.. Brown was romin-
ated by the Republicans Of Carroll coun-
~ for county attorney. He and the ma
jcr canvassed the county and Mr.. Brown
introduced the major to the influential
citizens of Carroll County. They both
were elected to the Offices TO which they
aspired. Some years later Alr. Brown re-
moved to this city and Major Mckinley
was reelected 10 congress. where he
made a reputation that will carry his
name down through the ages. II was the
reputation that Major Mckinley made
for tariff reform that made Mr.. Mckinley
president Of the United States. and it
was Mr.. Browns vote in 1876 that made
il possible for Mr.. Mckinley to make the
reputation that made him famous and
president.
Shortly after the election in November
Mr. Brown filed his application with the
then president-eiect for United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas. In December
M-. Browr visited the president at Can
ton, wncre he was cordially received and
the Did politica. battles were discussed.
After Major Mckinley had been inaugur-
ated Mr.. Brown went 10 Washington,
where he told the president what was his
ambition. The president told him that he
would be glad TO appoint him, but he
would like him TO get the endorsement Of
Senator Baker. Mr.. Brown told him
that he could not get Senator Bakers en-
dorsement as he was already pledged to
Ike Lambert, who had been instrumental
IN MT. BAKER Delng eIeCIeu United SldteS
senator. The president then asked Mr..
Brown il he would accept the Office Of
assistant district attorney if nothing bet
ter turned up.
Mr. Brown said that he would. With
this, after several pleasantries, the inter-
view c,osed and Mr.. Brown returned to
Kansas.
While Major Mckinley was in congress
and when he was governor of Ohio. Mr..
Prown was the recipient Of many small
favors at the hands OF the major. They
have always been the best Of friends and
two years ago, when Major Mckinley
made an address at Hutchinson. Mr..
Brown went I'D and heard the majors
speech and then called on him at his ho-
tel. When ar the hotel Major Mckinley
turned to Mr.. Brown and said:
II very well remember the favors you
have conferred or me when we travelled
over the hills Of old Carroll county"
1t seems to be the genera. impression
among the local politicians that the ap-
pointments Of both attorney and district
Cli5ed States attorney viii be made be-
fore the first of July.

wOODsoN METHOD MAY SPREAD
Gallant Mayor of darlington 10 Called to
Washington.

Washingto ton.
Major Woodson of Darlington was in
the city yesterday on his way to Wash
ington. He has received a summons
from Secretary of the Interior Bliss.
1t is the unofficial conjecture OF peo-
pie posted on Indian affairs that Major
Woodson's visit 20 Washington may rev.
olutionize the whole Indian agency sys-
tenn. l. is well known that Major Wood
son rendered his resignation to Presi-
dent Mckinley upon his inauguration
and the president refused TO accept it.
The authorities at Washington have
been studying Major Woodson's process
eS for some time and it is highly pro5a-
bic that Secretary Bliss has resolved TO
make other agents adopt the Woodson
method. This method in brief is TO put
the Indians TO work with the undel-
standing that they are to be rewarded
if they work faithfully but il they sulk
or are idle that they will be barred from
all government aid.

Where the shadows chase each other.
In the rifle of the waves
And chiggers crawl upon you
With all that hunger Graves.
Bright reflection in the water
OF blue spots in the sky,
Mosquitoes. everyone of them
Tim as clearinghouse pie.
Seeking solace in a picnic,
And restfuiness from care
You sit and fish and tumble
And mediate and swear.
Wobbling home at nightfall.
So tired you scarce can see;
Clothes wet and clammy IN
Other places than the knee
All you've got for memory
Besides chiggers in your clothes,
Is hide all cooked and curled up
On your face and neck and nose

What promises TO De one OF the best
local productions seen here for years is
the presentation of Oliver Byror's To-
mantle drama, ''The Plunger." by Sid
ney Toler and a caste of Wichita's best
local talent "The Plunger" has been
seen here once before but in oirated
form which bears no resemblance to the
original piece. Special scenery is to be
used in this presentation showing the
New York Elevated road at Eighty-firs:
street with passing trains. Mr.. Toler has
spared no expense to make this presenta-
ton a feature as he has secured a set of
calcium lights and stereopucon. and
descriptive illustrated songs will be CIV
er during the course OF the evening. The
play was one OF Mr.. Byron's great sue
cesses and enjoyed a .ong and healthy
run in New York several years ago. II
is to be produced in the same manner
here as it was there. This event also re-
cords the temperance Of Judge VIM.

The piece is well equipped and every
thing points to a grand success.

Yesterday morning as BaggagemaE
Sandifer sat alone in the ticket office OF
the Missouri Pacific depot writing. two
tough looking crooks came up to the win
dow and attempted 10 raise it. Then
they went inside to the ticket windo "
and called 10 Mr.. Sardifer:
Say, Buddie. How much money have
you got in there?"
Mr.. Sandifer got up quickly, closed the
safe and threw the combination. as he
said with apparent unconcern:

OF the men, I'D abscord in about two

rapscallions near the Getto building and
was held up for a nickel that they didn't
get.

Ar. Sherwin didn't cough up the FIVE.
Seeing that they were drunk, Mr.. Sher-
win stepped away from them and went
on TO his work. He and Mr.. Sandifer ex-
changed experiences and decided 10 call
up an officer. Before the officer came the
tramps stood at some distance discussing
plans.
IF we do that one Of them was
heard TO say, we may get into the pen
for ten years or so.' Then, after some
indistinct mumbling: "You needn't talk:
you've got no edge on me. You are
pen bird yourself"
They walked off up Water street and
divided into two gangs Of one each and
and continued their depot tactics.
Patrolman Zimmerman followed UP the
street and arrested one Of them just as he
came out into the street from some resi-
dence. His pal saw the performance

TRAINS LATE.
Some Effects of the Drifting West OF
Here.

The weather turned much colder
last night, and by daylight the tenn
perature had dropped to zero, and by
nine o'clock Tuesday few de-
grees lower still. A rise of half a
dozen degrees occurred by two O'Clock,
but the mercury dropped out of
sight at night, as the wind continued
freshly from the west.
The stiff breeze picked up the light
snow and packed the railroad cuts in
South Dakota and Southwestern Min
nesOta, and the trains last night and
today were somewhat delayed. The
morning train from the west on the
Omaha was nearly four hours late,
and the morning train from the west
on the Chicago & Northwestern road
was two hours late. The afternoon
train from St. Paul was forty minutes
late. Local freights were not much
interfered with, but freights from the
west were demoralized, especially
west of Tracy and on the Pipestone
branch.
