Woman's Bravery.

Who'll dare to say woman is not brave,
Because she shares not in the strife,
For the nOblest battle ever fought,
Was won by the soldiers wife.
W an easy thing to charge a foe,
Amid smoke and battle cheers,
But different far to wait at home,
Tortured by doubts and fears,
But they call him a hero who falls on the field.
Looking up to the flag above,
And never thinks of the maid that gave,
To her country the one of her love.
And the sailors that walk the Brooklyn's deck
Are proud of the work she's done,
By what of the woman waiting at home,
+ news of her best loved one.
And the news of 4 wondrous victory,
That the people so quickly spread,
Brings little Joy to the woman,
Whose loved one is dying or dead.
And if she goes not to the battle front,
To share in the deadly strife,
She cares for the wounded and helpless,
And nurses them back to life.
So when you weave the garlands,
For the heroes in Blue or lGray,
Be just and weave one for our women,
Who were just as brave as they

FREE TRAIN FUND.

of tho Amount Raised.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 19.-The
following Round Robin was signed by
Colorado people here tonight:
To the People of Colorado:
The Colorado volunteers were ap-
prised upon their arrival Mt this port Of
the effort their friends We're making to
secure a free train for their transpor-
tation homeward. This encouraged
them greatly, for it gave them the as
surance that their pay and mileage
could be utilized on their return for
their own and the support Of their
families while seeking employment.
Many of them may find their little
store exhausted before permanent posi-
tons are secured and their anxiety for
definite Information as to what they
may expect from the people OF their
state is but natural
The news from Nebraska has de-
pressed them. We are giving them all
the encouragement we can, and most
earnestly ask tie good people mt home
to do for our boys what every state,
save one, has done Having begun the
good work, 1t would be reproach to
the fair name of our commonwealth if
1t should result In failure, and prove
m inexpressible disappointment to one
of the most gallant regiments that ever
fought under the flag of the republic.
We appeal to your generosity. your
patriotism, and your sense of Justice In
their behalf. The regiment will be
mustered out on the nth proximo.
Whatever we do must be, therefore,
done at once. Signed by Charles S.

Denver. Aug. 21.-A close estimate of
the amount of money now actually in
the hands of the Colorado Volunteers
Relatives Union. for the free train
fund reveals the fact that almost S1O,-
600 remains yet to be raised. The
money now in the treasury, exclusive
of subscriptions not yet paid. and
pledge lists not yet turned in, amounts
to almost exactly $1,000. The fund has
grown less rapidly during Manila week
than was expected.

The Supreme Court OF Indiana has
rendered far-reaching decision In
suit brought by citizens of Portland
against a natural gas and oil COM
pany which, it was claimed, had en-
tered into an illegal combination to
raise the price of its product. The
plaintiffs were sustained, the decision
which, 1t is asserted, will apply to
many trusts-being based on the COM
mon-law point of public policy" at
is an old and familiar MAXIM" said the
court, that competition is the life Of
trade; and whatever act destroys COM
petition, or even relaxes it. upon the
part of those who sustain relations to
the public, is regarded by the law as
Injurious to public interests. and is,
therefore, deemed to be unlawful"

Every day that brings Admiral Dew
ey nearer home also brings increased
evidence of the great esteem in which
he is held by his countrymen. Since
Grants time no other man has ap-
preached this popularity. He stands
quite alone, and the whole nation is
getting ready to welcome him in Oc-
tober. In view of this indubitable
fact, how account for the paucity of
the popular offering for the Dewey
home fund? Stinginess never was a
characteristic of the American people.
But only $4,000 is forthcoming for the
alleged object of the nations highest
esteem. There is only one answer to
this conundrum, which is that the peo-
pie take little stock in home fund"
raised by public subscription. Ap.
parently it savors too much of passing
the hat.

NEBRASKA DOES BETTER.
Wealthy Men Advance tho Necessary
Funds for tho Train.

Lincoln, Aug. Ex-Governor Poyn-

sum of $3.50 demanded by the rail
road companies for Il free train to car
ry the First Nebraska home from San
Francisco had been raised and the
regiment would start next week as
soon as the muster-out is completed.
d. e. Thompson called upon him to-
day and offered to advance $4,000
for the purpose on condition that he
be reimbursed at the next regular ses-
sion of the Legislature. The public
subscription has reached $4,000, and
another gentleman has volunteered
5000. making the sum required.
Earlier in the day the governor was
advised by n number of influential cit
izens and newspapers of the state to
threaten special session to rptaliate
upon the roads and appropriate the
needed sum to take up note that
was to be executed to raise the money
at once. but its consideration was in
definitely postponed when the other Of
fer came, and the governor says there
will be no extra session.
