Class Song.

Words by Kendall Banning.
Music by Emily Gosselin.
The end has come the future looms;
flushed is each heart and tongue,
And on each brow, with sadness crowned,
The garb of grief is hung.
We part, no more to meet within
The walls we love so well,
Around the hearthstones of US all,
May Peace forever dwell.
Henceforth but friendships bonds are ours;
Gained is the cherished prize,
May Wisdom's affairs further burn
Our humble sacrifice.
In other spheres where Duty calls,
Well test the hand of Fate,
But mem'ry's ties will ever bind
The class of Ninety Eight.

AFTER MANY YEARS
An Old Tombstone Pioneer To.
 cated in the Asv.ur.

The PhoeniY HerAli contains tLt following interesting story giving the whereabouts of former Tombstoner who mysterious disappeared in the l early days:
 "In 1880 Mir. Tritolet was engaged in buisiness in Tomb.tone owning considerable property. A German barber whose first name WAS Henry | bu. whose Int nsne MT. TIibo!ct has forgotten owing to the lapse of years, rented of him a room nicely si.uated on prominent s.ree ct in the pa'my days of Tombstone and opened up fir { class barber shop. He con ducted it for a time making many friends and apparently prospecting in business.
 One day Henry suddenly disappear ed leaving no trace Of his whereabouts.
 No reasons could be found for his strange action as he had had no trouble SD far as the public was in formed and the fact that be simply dropped out of sight leaving Lis shop and property IT prosperous condition with no one to claim it created not on. ly surprise and wonder but graa.anx- iety for his personal safety. It was feared he had been foully murdered and the officers of the law searched m every conceivable place but could find no trace of him dead or alive. The matter finally passed out of mind and was 10 gotten in ,hs rapid trend o: event. on the frontier.
 A few days ago Mir. Trib.let who furni-hes meat fer the asylum was d. livering his daily order at ths. ins,,tu ton when & gray haired man with long beard who was wandering around under the ws,chful care of an attsn dant accosted him with
 "Helie Tnbo!e.."
 ~hl. up "l guess you have the bes. of me. l don't believe know you"
 Alter some similar conversation in 4 humorous vein the man said -'dOn't you remember Dutch Henry that used to run barber shop in Tombstone in the SO'-. You ought to, l would know you any wherC.'
 Alter some lite study MT. TribUlet finally recalled the man and the cir cumstauces of hia departure.
 Yesterday when MT. Triholet paid his regular visit to the asylum he saw him again. MT. T:iboles end.svored to engage him ID conversation but the man WAS clear otf again. He esid he had never sef n Tribolet in the world and dii not know him from Adam The past eeem-d 10 ba utter blank and nothing MT. ,TritOlet could say wouli restore the workings of Lis mind 10 q lucid channel.

He Will Never be Able to Use
 His Arm Again.

Bronco Bill" is in bad way phys icaliy. I.aet week the doctors at Santa Fe operated on his wounde G shoulder. They found that the bones in the upper arm aud shoulder were all smashed, ard they removed all the broken b9Dej. There are no bones left between the ellOw and the shoul der blade. After this operation vas completed Bronco was too weak 10 stand 8 further operation. II he gets stronger the doctors will amput ,te the arm near the elbow. The arteries are intact and the arm is well nour- isbed, GO it is advisable to let the arm remain in it's present condition for d time, as the free circulation cf blood will greatly assist in the healing of the wounds in the shoulder. The doctors think there is very little hopes of his living; the only thing to pull him through is his meanness, But, Lying or dead, ID prison or @, liberty, he can Lever swing a six- shooter in his right hand, nor can he ever take another shot with 1t a. an officer or express mes.enger.-Lords- burg Liberal.

man in the disruption of the 18th of
June convention. He would destroy
fifty parties, and sacrifice the whole hui
man family to help CAVITY. He is sharp,
active and shallow. He wrote book
upon the money question, called Horse
Sense" which any respectable horse
would be ashamed to father. If he had
named it Ass Sense it would have been
about right. He proposed to settle the
issue between gold and silver by making
dollar of gold and silver fused and
melted together!! No wonder he is a
fusionist. He is running now as the
candidate of a party very much like his
fusion dollar-a compound of incongrui-
ties.
The Populists made him judge Of the
supreme court six years ago, and he
showed his gratitude by helping 10 kill
the state elevator law, and turn the
farmers, who had given him honor and
emoluments, over to the merciless and
Unsuitable elevator ring.
And now he is trying to drive Prof
Cation out of his nomination, to help
himself. Cation was fairly nominated
for congress; and, if we can help it, he
shall not be slaughtered by such men as
Canty and Owen Cation has his faults
but he is thousand times better than
either Of them, and Hennepin county is
going to send him to congress. Id.
