A klON Dixie TALE.

Written for the Sunday Standard.
A young man heard of a country cold
Far away under the heavens blue.
Where the soil was rich in dazzling
specks
And dust of a yellowish hue.
Where the beds of the rivers were teem-
ing with bits
OF a sparkling metal called gold.
Quoth he to himself, my fortune is made
If l this land can behold.
He read of the heroes who'd gone on be-
fore
And battled this cold northern cline:
How they'd come back with bags OF this
bright, yellow dust;
Oh, How well they'd been paid for their
time.
A vision had passed DER the mind OF this
lad,
He will go like others before;
He'll face the cold winters of a Klon-
dixie domain
And keep the gaunt wolf from the door.
A gfray-haired mother is weeping to-
night
For a son who would not take advice,
For he and his earthly belongings have
gone
To the land of the snow and the ice.
lis udIhs io van pN 81 80 q
moan
IT'S the wind; but, bark! it grows loude
now;
Great God, 'Tis a man.. IT'S our young
hero's voice.
The dampness of death has covered his
brow.
Alone on the ice, he's starving and cold.
With no fire to warm him, no bread;
A motionless eye, a twitch of the lips
Al is over-his spirit has fled.
The visions once bringht have all passed
away;
From Reality's cup he has drunk;
His hopes and desires like unto his sun
Have shone but a day and then sunk.
Let us hope tina it's gone to a peaceful
abode,
Where the great race for wealth is I'M
known:
Where tranquility. peace and rest reign
supreme,
The haven for all of Christ's own.

Wallets for Soldiers.
From Invention.

Thanks to the inventors of compact
cases and condensed delicacies, the SOL
diers and the soldiers nurse will be able
to take many of the comforts and con-
veniences of civilization with them when
they go to the war. A leather wallet, not
much larger than the ordinary pocket
book, which closes with a snap lock and
lies submissively fiat when closed, is one
of these wartime luxuries. 1t has five
compartments, or expanding pockets. for
letters, papers. photographs and other
things precious to soldier and exile. In
addition to these there are 10 pockets for
note paper, envelopes, telegraph blanks,
blotters. stamps and elastic bands. Each
case is fitted with lock and key.

ANACONDA vs.. BUTTE.
There VIII Be a Hot Game of Ball in the
Latter City o-Day

Latter City ID
There will be a large crowd go e
to Butte to-day to root for the Elec-
tries of this city, who play the entire
world in Butte. The opposing team Is
by courtesy called the Butte Reduction
Works nine, but it is said to contain the
very best players of Butte, some OF
whom never saw the inside of a educ
ton works, and all that they know
about a reduction Is in salary.
The Anaconda boys recognize they are
running up against a pretty hard for
nation, but they promise to give a good
account of themselves. The entire home
team is made I'D of amateur players en-
gagged by the electric light company in
this city. The team is a good one for a
strictly amateur nine. The game played
to-day promises to be the first OF an in
teresting series, part of which 1T Is ex-
pected will be played in this city.

The Point of View.

From the Boston Transcript.
Biggs-Quite a rivalry between Tom and
Fred.
Griggs-Yes, l understand they are both
seeking the hand of Miss Triffet.
Biggs-They both called at her house the
other evening. and at once began the ex-
citing game of trying TO outsit each other.
Tom had to give it up finally and left
Fred in possession.
Griggs-So Fred got the best of II?
Biggs-That's the question. IL was a

One of Professor Gentry's simian per-
formers got out last night and made a
monkey out of himself. He appeared to
have become tired of show life, and de-
termined to see Anaconda by electric
light. The animal was chained up in
one of the tents, n by some means he
succeeded in breaking his chain n he
started in to do the town. He headed
for the hospital. with several persons
in full cry after him. The hunters. how
ever, lost him and Professor Gentry
concluded the wisest course was to put
an advertisement in the Standard offer
ing a reward for Mr.. Monks a%pprehen-
sion. The advertisement had the de-
sired effect. A lady called at the tent
Yesterday morning before breakfast to
leave word that she had caught the
prowler in her yard and had chained
him to the fence, and she wanted some
body to come and get him. When Mr..
Monkey got back to his friends. he APP
peared very much ashamed of himself,
and Professor Gentry says he does not
believe that III will take a night off
again for a long time to come.

After all the evidence had been heard
Mackley was sent back to jail while

of hose who heard the evidence ap-
peared to think that the man was not
so much insane as that he had been suf-
fering from over indulgence in whisky.

VERY PECULIAR VERDICT
Inquest on Kenney Phelsn Con-
cluded Yesterday.
A CASE OF POISONING
The Jury Says. and That the Poison Was
Administered by Some Unknown
Handle Does Not Clear
The Mystery.

The inquest called to inquire into the
death of Kenney Phelan met again in
Judge Williams court room at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The inquest was
adjourned Friday until tina hour for
h purpose of giving Thomas Phelan.
h brother of the dead man, a chance
to come before the coroner and make
any suggestions he might see fit. Mr..
Phelan, however. did not appear. No
new evidence was brought out yester-
day before the jury. No new witnesses
We're examined. but a verdict was re-
turned upon the testimony given FRI
day. The jury as soon as the inquest
convened, closed the doors and held a
lengthy consultation. What took place
in the jury room is, of course, a secret,
though ii is known that several of the
Jurors made addresses and sifted and
argued the evidence.
After the consultation, which lasted
an hour, the jury returned the follow
ing verdict: THAT said Kenney Phe-
Ian came to his death by eating food or
drink at the Gavin boarding house, on
or about the 10th day of July, 1898. We
further believe that poison existed in
food or drink and that said poison was
administered by some unknown hand.

The verdict appeared to strike most
everyone as a surprise, and there APP
pears to be something now to the
jury which did not appear in the evil
dence taken Friday. Anyhow, the YER
dict has added to the mystery of the af-
fair, instead of clearing it up.
No autopsy was held on the body.
The medical testimony given Friday
showed hat there was small chance if
one were held that it would bring any
thing new to light concerning the poi
son, either as to its character or the
particular kind of food at the Gavin
house which a been poisoned.

lions through your newspaper: l. How

Could war be declared over the blowing

8. Did the United States have proof
that the Spaniards blew up the Maine?

to intervene in Cuba with the army

2. Any sovereign power can declare
wal any time it sees fit. for any cause,

3. The United States had proof that
the Maine was blown up from the out

is, of course, that ii was Spanish work,
for Spaniards alone would profit by
the disaster.

Canadian Loan Companies Getting Money
On Mortgages That Had Been

Probably in the history of the con-
tinent there never was such a tide OF
prosperity enjoyed by any country az

ing homes on the arabic lands of that
new but rapidly developing country.
Possessed of exceptionally good rail-
road privileges, the best school sys-
tenn in the world, churches in every
small settlement, while in the towns
and cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets in close
proximity to the grain fields, most OF
the requirements for comfortable eX-
istence are met. The development
that is now taking place in the min
ing districts gives an impulse to agri-
culture, and good prices, with good
crops, bring about state OF affairs
that the crowded districts of more
populous centers are taking advsn-
tage of. The Associated Press dis

companies that made advances on
Manitoba property years ago report
that the returns from the west during
the past three months have exceeded
expectations. One company has taken
from Manitoba over $4,000 interest.
and discharged mortgages, many Of
which had been written of a year ago.
Directors of leading loan companies
are taking a greater interest in bust.
