a sLUMBER SONG.
Jesse Lee AIcHann)

The big golden sun long ago sought the
West,
Enwrapped IN his glory while sinking to
rest;
On shadowy hillsides the brownie-folk
play,
High carnival holding until peep o'-day.
Through slow waving tree-tops the WOO
ing winds creep,
And softly they're signing, sleep little
one, sleep"
The fair lady moon in the far distant sky
With her twinkling shareholder climbs
high, climbs high,
And AL the bird-babies in swinging nest
beds
Chirp, ''sleeply-time, sleepy-time," hang
ing their heads.
Through slow waving tree-tops the WOO
ing winds creep, ,
And softly they're signing, sleep, little
one, sleep"
In cool, dusky woodlands the murmuring
streams
Glad love-songs are gurgling to tickle
moonbeams,
And troops Of Shareholder are twink
ling ia glee,
Far down in the streadnlets their faces
to see,
Through Slow waving tree-tops the WOO
ing winds creep,
So-Iow-is ltheir-sighiug, 'sleep, little one,
sleep.

THE GREATEST MONARCH

Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled
with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject
who digests properly may well be enyied
by a prince thus afflicted. The dyspepBc
.of every cline and nation owe a debt OF
gratitude to Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, which rescues them from one Of the
most obstinate and troublesome com
plants against which medical skill is di-
rected. On this continent, in Europe
and the tropics, this sterling remedy is
pre-eminently and justly popular, not
only as a stomachic, but also as a means
Of preventing and curing malarial, rheu-
matte, kidney bilious and nervous disor-
ders. 1t improves appetite and sleep
hastens convalescense and the acquisi-
zion Of yigor after exhausting maladies
and counteracts the infrmities Of age
A wineglassful taken before retiring has
& tendency to promote tranquil, health
ful yielding sleep, a boon much coveted
by nervous invalids.

TO INDICr THE LYNcHERs.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 1.-Prosecut-
ing Attorney Aul, Of Lafayette county,
Miss, has expressed the opinion that
Jesse Winner and James Nelson, who
were lynched at Lexington, nearly a
month ago by mob of farmers from
Clay county, were innocent Of the muir
der of Winners wife and two children.
He stated that he had secured evidence
sufficient to cause the indictment Of
fifty Of the lyndhers, and he ALSO stated
that in his opinion, the actual murderers
of Mrs. Winner and her children were
members of the mob of lynchers. He
believes that the murderers worked up
the sentiment against Winner, Nelson
and Lon Ackey, the culprit still in Jail
at Lexington to shield themselves. He
promises sensa tional developments.

THE erratic conduct of the German
Emperor is responsible for the great
increase of Socialists in the Germanic
confederation. The day of "Divine
right" of kings has passed and al.
though repressive laws are vigorously
enforced in the effort to stile free
speech, they are powerless to do so,
as was demonstrated by a member of
the Peoples party in a speech in
Mannheim last week in which he
boldly proclaimed that German
citizens know their strength. Nobody
socks withstand the will of the nation,
teaeither man, minister or emperor.
Nobody is able to crush that will.
German spirit is not controlled by
cannons, but by thoughts If the
reign Of the erratic emperor continues
much longer conflict between the
will OF the nation and the will of the
kaiser is inevitable
