School Bonds.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I see the leg
islature has authorized Bolivar to
issue bonds in an amount not to ex-
coed $40, 900, for the purpose of
erecting public school building.
AS a rule, l have always opposed
entailing debt upon nation, state,
county or municipality. But in
this instance, l make exception.
There are two facts in connection
with this question that but few of
our citizens will attempt TO contro-
vert. One is, that the public school
is an institution to be fostered and
encouraged, as it has greatly to do
with shaping and moulding the char
acter and developing the minds of
our boys and girls. The other is,
that our present public school build
ing is totally devoid of conven-
fences, out of repair, out of date
and should be out of use.
In the event the bonds are issued
the additional tax imposed upon the
largest property owners will amount
TO only few dollars per annum.
1t is said by those who are in po-
sition to know that the bonds can
be foated at low rate of interest.
Some revenue can be derived too
from the sale of the present build
ing.
When the proposition is submit
ted, l hope it will be voted unani-
mously. Indifference or objection
on the part of few can accom-
plish its defeat. Let's all pull to-
gether and erect building that will
reflect some credit on the town. 1t
will pay, even looking at it from
financial standpoint. PROGRESS.

Settle with the Saviour.
Written by one who knows how to sympathize
with those whose fathers and mothers have passed
out into the great beyond.

into the great beyond.l
Dear boys and girls,
Whose parents are on high,
Be Just as good as you can
And meet them in the sky.
Each one knows what is best,
And how TO live just right;
Nothing plcases the Saviour more
For right is his delight.
settled this with the Saviour,
When was but child,
And ever since have tried to live
christian in these wilds.
We can't be better than our Saviour,
He had enemies in this world;
But one thing we can be,
That is real good boys and girls.
No one can destroy your soul,
By angry wers or abuse,
If the Saviour has full control,
He will not turn you loose.
Once l had precious mother,
But in eighteen and eighty-twO,
She left father and children,
And passed over Jordan too.
And I had dear good father,
But in eighteen and eighty-nine,
He left this earthly mansion,
For some far distant cline.
So you see 1 was left an orphan,
With no place to lay my bad,
Had it not been for the Saviour,
might have wished | was cad.
But Oh! I thought of Jesus,
And how he loved me so,
And though he was in Heaven,
Was watching Ger me here below.
So went on my way rejoicing,
Knowing there is a hand
By which l am being led
To that bright and happy land.
Oh! had a dear sweet brother,
Yes his name it was Joe,
But in eighteen and ninety-eight,
This dear boy was forced to go.
One night woke at twelve o'clock,
NV eyes they filled with tears,
Thinking of so many being gone,
And gone for so many years.
And while lay there thinking,
l fell through. To sleep Eye turned,
And then / had dream,
Dreamed the Saviour was on the ground.
And then 1 began flying,
Jesus went with me,
Had a hand under each shoulder,
Though his face | could not see.
knew that it was the Saviour,
And turned my head around,
just then l came tumbling,
Right down upon the ground.
/ came down where crowd had gathered
Then says one lady unto me,
I don't know what kept you from falling.
But it was the Saviour, SO yeu see.
So you see why it is that try
To be good to every one,
For some day other,
l must live above the Sun.
And now the time has come,
To bring my poetry to close,
And what my subject will be next,
Only the Good Lord knows.

ONE BUTCHER LESS.
THE END OF a CHICAGO WIFE
MURDERER.
tBy Telegraph to vrginlan-P llot,>

Chicago, November 10,3Albert Au-
gust Becker, the German butcher who,
on January 81 last, murdered his wife,
Rachel, and afterwards chopped UP and
boiled the remains in order to dispose
of them. was hanged in the county jail
at 12:05 o'clock this afternoon.
Becker's neck was not broken by the
fall. and 1t was 16 minutes before he
was pronounced dead.
On the scaffold Becker protested his
Innocence and declared George Suffer-
lin. the father of his second Wife, was
the real murderer.
The case of August Becker in many
ways bore n remarkab BILE similarity to
that of Adolph Luetgert.
Both of the condemned men were
butchers. and the motive for the crime
was the same in both instances, the
desire to get rid of the wife In order TO
marry younger woman. The man.
ner OF committing the crimes was also
much the same. both men, according
to the testimony being extremely brutal
In the killing: and both using the same
means to dispose of the body, by boil
ing and burning. It was proven at
Beckers trini that after killing his
wife he had chopped her body TO pieces,
then boiled the remains on his kitchen
stove. afterward burying the remains
in various places. AS in the case OF
Luetgert, the rings of the murdered
wife played no small part In the tes-
timony leading to the conviction. Like
Luetgert. also Becker endavored te
explain his wife's disappearance b,
saying she had eloped with another
man. Becker made several confessions
In his first statement he said he hat
drowned his wife in Lake Michigan
1 ha la 10 i,,,n
the crime the father of the woman
whom lie married after numbering hi
first wife. and to the last stuck to Thu
version.
