The president has selected an obviously
strong board of commissioners to arrange
the details for the taking over of Hawaii.
Cullom, Morgan and Hit, schooled in
law-making and versed In constitutional
law, are supplemented with President Dole
and Justice Frear, familiar with every
thing that pertains to the Sandwich ISL
ands. Since the government of Hawaii is
determined to give and the United States
eager to receive, there should be few
obstacles in the way of speedy transfer.

Dear

Yes, dear the blissful times agone,
When life's glad morn was new,
Illumine yet the mystic dell
Where hearts beat fond and true,
Although darkened empty space
Seems holding US apart,
True love must ever find it's own
still am thy sweetheart
Yes, dear some day We'll meet again;
Some day, again I'll stand
soul revealed in flesh and blood,
Again I'll clasp thy hand
Once more I'll look into your eyes,
Those eyes of loving cheer
And you will call me sweetheart then,
And l will call you dear.
Sometime the meadows cool and green,
The blossoms sweet and fair,
Will bud and bloom environed
In healthful, sinless air.
The breath of man untainted
By sinful deed or thought,
Will clothe his earth terrestrial
With life celestial fraught.
Then, dear, sweetheart will come again
Deaths door will backward swing;
So never weary with the strife
| Which conquers death and sin,
But live and strive with all thy SOU
| To help thy fellow men
To bring on earth the paradise
| Where death ne'er enters in.
For, dear, the veil which hangs between
| Must ever rend in twain
When love unselfish, like the Christ's.
| Beams in the hearts of men.
The tombs again will lose their hold,
And souls reclaim their own.
All, dear! sweetheart SO longs to see
The light of earth and home.

In the silent gloom of garnet room,
With cobwebs round it creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
A veteran worn and sleeping.
Dinghy old each wrinkled fold
By the dust of years was shaded;
The wounds of the storm were upon Its
form
And the crimson stripes were faded.
Twas a mournful sight in the days twi-
light,
This thing of humble seeming.
That once so proud Ger the cheering crowd
Had carried its colors cleaning;
Stained with mould We're the braids Of gold
That had flashed at the sun rays kissing,
OF faded hue was its field of blue,
And some @ its stars were missing
Three northern maids and three from
glades,
Where dreams the southland weather,
With chances kind and arms entwined,
Came up the stair together;
They gazed awhile with thoughtful smile
At the crouching form before them
With clinging holds they grasped its folds
And out of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars and found its stars,
And brought them all together
CThree northern maids and three from
glades
Where smiles the southland weather.,
They mended away through the summer
day,
Made glad by an inspiration,
To fling it high at the smiling sky,
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air,
With a brisk breeze round it creeping,
Newly bright in the glistening light
The flag went gladly sweeping.
Cleaning and bold were it's braids of gold
And flashed in the sun rays kissing,
Red, white and blue were Of deepest hue,
And none of the stars were missing.

appreciates the act Of those members of
congress who, in the midst of an exciting
and historic session, resigned their seats
and went to the front-not that their pa
triotism is exceptional or their valor phe-

made that the civil government could

Uncle Sans Great Luck

Before the American people start out to
conquer the world they will do well to ac-
quire the ability to mobilize am army in
less than two months. If this war had been
against any other European nation than de-

probably show a series of great American
losses.-Buffalo Courier.

Corregidor

Corregidor
The stars above were like the fireflies' glow
And failed to pierce the slumbering shades
Whose darkness seemed intensified that
night
In grim defiance to the orbs of light.
Across the entrance of the harbor deep
The fortress-burdened island seemed to
sleep;
The very battleships themselves scarce
To Neptune's swell. so deep was their re-
pose;
And spaniards, smiling. dreamed of tor
tured foes
Whose shrieks and groans. whose agony
and tears,
Had been for ages music to their ears.
The sleepy sentry almost failed to mark
The downward radiance of that tell-tale
spark
Whose fitful brilliance on the sea afar
Seemed but the glimmer of falling star.
But bark! A sound that through the mid
night air
Told that the wrath of heaven and earth
was there,
A steady rumbling through the darkness
came,
The mufiied thunder of volcanic flame
Whose quick pulsations from the sea arose
AS beats the heart affrighted from repose.
1.-THE foe! The foev' the waking sentry
cried;
Quick to his shout the batteries guns re-
piled.
While, cleaning lurid from the oceans
swell,
Dread fires arose as from the mouth of
hell,
And hurtling shells like heavens own
thunder broke
Amid the shadows of that sea of smoke.
Then curses furious rent the battles breath
Like fearful wrangling of the fiends of
DEATH
Vain were their shouts, their bravery in
vain,
For heaven was laundering at the gates of
Spain,
Whose vanquished warriors by their can
mons lay,
Their life-blood ebbing with the dawning
day.
In Vhose gray light their CORY fragments
shone
The shattered pillars of tyrant's throne,
Begirt with forts whose broken bulwarks
stood
Like rock-built islands in a sea of blood
While, through the daylight's ever-lessen-
ing gloom
The ships spend onward to their work of
doom.
And Spain will tell her children yet unborn
The first dread dawning Of that Dewey
morn.

surveys of the surface and underground
workings of the property in question. He
began surveys of the property Feb. %,
1887 Nearly all the work is carried on
from No. shaft Of the Rarus. The wit
ness exhibited a map showing the con-
dition of the mine March 23, 1897. The
stope at the 500 was called the Bryan
and at the 200 the Mckinley stope.
There was also stope at the 450 The
map exhibited showed the situation of
the Michael Dewitt and the slopes with

John Gillie then took the stand. He
said he is a mining engineer and has
been engaged in the business il years
in the Butte district, except for one year
in the Coeur d'Alenes. He knew the
Michael Dewitt lode claim and had
leased the past two years near the
Michael Dewitt. He had carefully cx-
amned the ore in the Michael Dewitt
claim and the ore he had worked in his
lease is idenrically the same. In selling
the ore he had bids from many pur-
chasers. He was asked what copper
ores of this nature brought. but the
question was objected to. Frank T.. Cor
bett contended that while Mr.. Gillie
might have extracted ore from the same
vein, yet that ores in the same vein will
vary in value in 100 feet and even in 25
feet. Louis Marshall replied that he
defendants are the trespassers and il
cannot De tOIu Dy l.t d'aIS evidence
what the value of the ore taken by the
defendants is. Therefore the paintiff fur
nishes the best evid nee II can give as
to what the value of the ore taken was.
AS the ore taken by the defendants can
not be produced, its probable value only
can be shown. The objection was over
ruled.
Mr. Gillie said that for ore of seven
and eight per cent. copper he received
the best rate from the Deadwood &
Delaware Smelling company. 1t was
619 cents per pound For the silver he
received so cents per ounce for 30 per
cent. of it. He thought $3.50 per ton
was an ample estimate of the cost OF
extracting the ore.
The witness said he particularly ex-
amined stope of the 700 Rarus, called
the Mckinley stope. He had measured
this stope and had taken samples of ore
from the nearest places. He took 10
samples and delivered them to Evan
Fisher. surveyor of the Boston 6, Mon
tana. He made an estimate of what the
stope contained in two ways. First. such
cres as would have a profit in selling in
the open market, and second, those
running 4 per cent. copper. In the first
estimate everything is above 1885 per
cent. copper. The values of the samples
are:
