After the Mfilfner'H Opening.
She stood in morning nsgligee.
"This hat" she said, "displeases me-"
Her pretty brows were in a irown;
Ehe seixed the scissors and sat down.
The broom, behind the kitchen door,
Looked down upon the Uttered hoor.
But still she shipped and shipped and clipped
Until the thing apart was ripped.
Unwashed the breakfast dishes stood.
The FIRE decreased for want OF food,
But still her dainty fingers twist
The ostrich tips that way and this
The clock gave out a warning stroke;
With triumph In her voice she spoke
And gave each plume loving pat
81 wonder how I'll look in that!"

A vision OF graccfulnesa
Light as the doe,
The shadows that fall on her
Laugh as they 60;
While, deep in the meadow,
The wild flowers sweet,
All humble. bend down
Meath her scornful young feet.
And in the green forest 4
The wild. sparkling brook

Meath her lingering look 1
All people who meet
With her sweet, winning wayi
More cheerily work
For the rest Of the dag.
But. though she Is fair.
with her sparkling brown eyes
And her runshiny hair,
Where the light never dies,
This maiden Is sad,
And I'll tell you what at
She dislikes the red trimming
Upon her new hat.

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Cruiser Detroit Hurried to BIuefieIds,
Nicaragua.

Cruiser Detroit Hurried to B1uefieIds,
Nicaragua.
The cruiser Detroit was ordered post
haste to Bluefelds, Nicaragua, for the
protection of American interests in that
quarter. It's dispatch under hurry orders
was at the urgent request of the State
Department, to which American esidents
both at Bluefields and in Costa Rica ap-
pealed for protection of American inter-
ests.
The arbitrary and extortionate policy
adopted by Gen. Torres at Bluefelds,
who on more than one occasion has made
himself persona non grata to this Govern
ment, and whose restoration to power has
been followed by acts which American
residents resent and protest against, was
the. main cause of the vessels dispatch.
The State Department at the same time
cabled instructions to the United States
diplomatic representatives at Bluefields
to lodge an energetic protest with the Mic
araguan Government against the action of
Gen. Torres. In Costa Rica the American
business interests and residents are in
trouble as result of an insurrectionary
movement 1t is understood that the in
surgents are levying forced loans on them,
besides collecting exorbitant and double
duties on imports.

BIG DROP IN STOCKS.
Wildly Exciting Scenes Witnessed on
the Exchanges


There was panic on the stock ex-
changes Friday. 1t was '.black Friday
on all of the bourses. Millions were lost
on Wall street, and LaSalle street, Chi
cagO, h. not had such shaking up since
the meaprable days in '96, when the
Moore campaign in Diamond Match and
Biscuit shares ended in disaster.
1t was case of everybody trying to
sell at once. Stocks poured out of the
commission houses in enormous volume,
and with them came the most vigorous
hammering of the market by the profes-
sional bear element that has been seen
in several months. All efforts of the bull
interests to stem the tide were unavail-
ing, and after the first few minutes of the
session all efforts in this direction were
apparently withdrawn. The market il
Wall street was in a thoroughly demoral
lied condition. Sensational does not be-
gin to express the state of affairs that pre-
vailed. The decline in the industrials
quickly spread to the general list, and for
time the bottom appeared TO have drop
ped out of the whole market. Not only
the industrial, but the railroad shares,
good and bad, as WELL were thrown over
board in the wild scramble of traders to
GET out from under 1t was not question
of taking remaining paper profits, but of
minimizing losses. The main idea seemed
to be to get out of the market as quickly
as possible.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1899-04-12

to swell the party total, swung into the
Harrison column. The entire Democratic
city ticket was elected.
Harrison's total vote was 146,042: Mr..
Carter's 107, 1872, and ex-Gov. Altgeld's
45,404. The grand total of votes cast for
all mayoral candidates was 299, 100.
Ii was one of the quietest election days
in the history of Chicago There was no
occasion for brawling or fighting or in
timidation of voters. even if nybody had
been so inclined. Complaints of infrac-
tion of the election laws We're siIguarly
few. Intense interest in the election, sup
plemented by the finest election day
weather imaginable, brought out the
heaviest vote ever cast in a Chicago city
election.
Comparison with the vote of two years
ago shows that the Harlan vote was split
almost equally between Harrison and Car
