Sweet 31st of Mau.

When Maud and in May went wooing-
Maud and in the sweet May weather,
The birds that sang on the boughs together.
There in the deeps of the woods, kept say ng
All that my heart was saying low,
Love, as glad as the May-days glow
And did you know, loved you so?
There stood the church with its merry bells
ringing,
There by its doors, where our love had led us.
Flowers that blOomed in the woods and
meadows
Azure and gold at our feet kept thinking
All that my soul was thinking there,
Love, fragrant as the Mays soft air-and do YOU
care?
There stood the church with its merry bells
ringing.
What ere befalls us through Fates compelling.
Should our ways unite or our pathways astray.
In the Mays to come 1 shall feel forever
The wild flowers thinking, the wild birds telling
The same fond love that my heart then knew,
Love unSpeakable deep and true
Sweet Maud now what of you-thou lowest me
true. SAM.

HELP FOR PRISONERS,

On Tuesday morning, May, 3Oth,
Katherine A. Tingley and her party
visited the Penitentiary close to Salt
Lake City in pursuance of one of the
objects of the International Brother
hood League, viz.--The helping of those
in prison.
The party included Mrs. Cleather,
Miss Atkinson, Messrs. F. N. Pierce.
w. L. Hanson, I. L. Harris, H. L. Pat
terson, B. Crump and three local mem
bers, Mrs. Ferguson and Messrs. Turton
and Roberts.
After the prelude to "Lohengrin" on
the chapel organ, the Leader and
Foundress of the League spoke in
effect as follows:
"We believe that every man is divine,
and that you are no more condemned
than anyone else. There are many in
the world to-day who would be better
for the discipline you are undergoing.
1t may seem harsh to you at times, but
if you are wise enough to use your op-
portunities here, avoiding in your
thoughts all the gruesome and gloomy
aspects of life, you will learn a great
lesson. Many of you are in your pres
ent difficulties simply because you have
not understood yourselves. AS you
have rules here, so have to have them
in my organization, not for those who
keep them but for those who break
them, and have enormous sympathy
with the officers of these institutions,
because of the difficulties 1 have to deal
with myself. But if you can take the
right attitude with them you will com.
mand their respect. Do1't think of
your prison walls, but imagine you are
in hospital. ALI of you have beauti-
full thoughts at times, and 1 believe
that you have the possibilities of heroes
in you if only the right note is struck
in your hearts. Remember that all that
is unpleasant in you belongs to your
lower nature-the beautiful thoughts
came from God. 1 suffer more than
you do, in a sense, because have to
stand up before the world and endure
attacks and Misrepresentation, and
feel to-day that L would be glad to be
in here for time away from tarsh and
hard humanity. Before we can hope
for better times we must eliminate
creeds and dogmas, such as the idea of
being born in sin. If you dwell all the
time on this idea how are you ever 60
ing to rise out of your present con-
ditions? Two things cannot occupy
the same place at the same time, hence
the lower thoughts should be kept out
by the higher. Imagination is no fairy
tale but real power. Keep on imag-
lining you are noble, and good, and
straight, and you will rise above your
past and your lower nature. Forget
the past. l am sick and tired of the
pity and compassion attitude, and the
long sermons on 'sin.' Stand up like
brave boys and do your duty, and you
will make men respect you and break
down the fetters of the past y And I
believe we shall soon have the power to
do great work for this class of discour-
aged humanity."-The New Century.

Cndercurrents.

An unanchored ship may be lying
on waters as smooth as glass, and yet
before the master is awake his keel is
is on q rock! The invisible tide bore
him away so softly and 80 silently
that he did not observe the motion.
So are thousands of people-yes, and
some professed Christians, too--carried
on the rock every week, not by gales
of adversely, but by undercurrents OF
strong tenn mptation. One man is SLOW
ly seduced into slavery to the bottle
or he feels the grip of sensual tempta'
ton, but he takes no alarm till be
strikes the rocks with hideous rent OF
character. Here is church-member
who insensibly drifts into neglect OF
his Bible, neglect of prayer, and laxity
of Sabbath observance. Another gets
in an undercurrent of utter worldll-
ness it swings him along slowly and
surely until he has lost sight OF his
he is aroused by no sud
den shock, but when we look for him
where he used to be, and where be
ought to be, he is not there. The
world got hold of him, and his anchor
had: no hold on Christ.

Monday morning about II 80 o'clock
the fire department was called out.
The fire was located in West Decorah,
John Asseln's barn being enveloped in
flames before they could reach it. No
effort was made to save the building, las
it was nearly destroyed before they ar
rived, but they turned their attention
to adjacent structures. Outside of the
barn building the loss was not heavy,
as the stock was gotten out, and besides
that there was not much in the barn.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
That of the Supreme Court in the Case
off. ]. BaItel VS.. Judge Hobson.

The Supreme Court of Iowa handed
down decision last Wednesday in a
local case, which will be of importance
to every city in Iowa operating under
the mulct law. 1t was an action for
writ of certiorari to review the action
of the Judge in holding Bartel guilty of
contempt in violating perpetual in
junction. Ths injunction had been
issued in 1894 against Frank Barth,
with whom the state proved that Bar
tel was identical. Bartel denied the
authority of the court to punish him
for contempt because" he was operat-
ing under the petition Of consent Sc
cured in Decorah. The court holds
that he was specifically guilty of viO-
lating the injunction and that in any
event his place was operated illegally.
Bartel's storage plant in which liquor
was kept in cold storage for delivery
to customers to whom it was sold at
their places of business faced upon the
G. NJ. Il st. p. railroad right of way.
This the court holds is not public
business street within the meaning of
the mulct law.
The act provides that the selling or
keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors
shall be carried on in single room
having but one entrance upon public
business street."
The building in this case twas sepa-
rated from the public street." says the
court, "by railroad right OF way
which was not public business street,
but private ground occupied by rail
way tracks. The building was cold
storage room i'm which beer was stored.
The plaintiff solicited and obtained or
ders in saloons and perhaps other
places in Decorah, filled the orders
with beer which he took from the cold
storage room and delivered at the
places of business of his customers and
collected the price of the beer at such
places. That was violation of the
statute"
This case grew out of the case of j.
l.. Cameron VS.. Frank Bartel, and was
IA contempt case in this county. f. R.
Acres was j. l.. CamerOn's attorney in
this court and Judge Hobson's attor-
ney in the supreme court, Dan Shea
and John b. Kaye were attorneys for
Bartel.

Mrs. C.. l.. March passed away at
her home OH south Washington street
about five o'clock last evening, from
spinal meningitis. She had suffered
from this disease for few days past,
and the end was not wholly unex-
pected. We are unable to obtain a
sketch of her life at this writing, but
knew her to be "a devoted. christian
wife and mother, of kindly disposition
and true womanly character. The
sympathies of the community go out
to Mr.. March and the children in
their bereavement.

Lady of Quality Is
Well Received.
PROMISES A SUCCESSFUL RUN
MUCH THAT IS SUGGESTIVE, BUT
LITTLE TO OFFEND.
The Cast Is a Strong One, the Stage
Settings Perfect and the Produc-
ton One Deserving of
Commentator.

"a Lady of Quality" as produced last
night at the Alhambra. was decidedly a
hit. There is little about it with which to
find fault and much to commend. For q
first night the play went smoothly and
was hatteringly received. This dramati-
zation Of the well-known novel by Fran
ces Hodgson Burnett, promises to have
a successful run for the week that 1t is
billed here. The company is strong one,
the stage settings perfect. There are
some things that border on the suggestive
in the piece, but there is really nothing
at which the most delicate feeling can
take offense.
Eugene Blair, as Clorinda Wildairs. the
wild child of fortune. was decidedly
strong in her Interpretation Of the part,
and William BramweL, as Sir John Oxon
the heavy villain of the play, won admir-
alton for his acting while he earned con-
domination for the character he portrayed
The act where Miss Blair, as the heroine,
bounded by her prosecutor. strikes him a
blow that results in his almost instant
death was realistic and thrilling. In this
act Miss Blair shows TO the best advan-
tage.
The play abounds In tragic situations
and no one who admires plays with plenty
of villainy, adverse fate and the triumph
of the right will regret seeing "A Lady
performance is the inability of the cast
to accommodate its voices to the acous-
tics of the Alhambra. but this is some
thing that will probably be remedied as
ii becomes accustomed to the surround
ingS.
