Memorial to Airline Fox.

While June roses were in blossom,
And all the earth was spread with green,
When her life was in its morning,
The reaper came with sickle keen.
How sad her parents-words are lacking
To express their heartfelt grief;
How they mourn their darling airline,
One whose life was all too brief!
We would not forget her brothers,
And the little sister dear;
Who so sadly miss the darling.
Whose life was bri ghJ with cheer.
Gently lay her in the graveyard;
Soon spring flowers will round her bloom.
You who cherished, fondly loved her,
Shroud not your hearts in sorrows gloom.
She has only gone before you,
Gone to where all troubles cease;
Gone to meet her little brother,
And forever rest In peace.
Safe in peace on that bright. golden shore,
Where tempests of sadness are stilled ever
more
In that home where loved ones shall never
more part,
Then refrain from thy mourning fond heart.

LEAGUE IS FORMED.
Topeka Evidently Left Oat of the
New Baseball Circuit

The Western League has been form
ed with Omaha, Des MOines, Sioux
City, St Joseph, Lincoln and Denver.
Two more clubs will be added and
located either at Cripple Creek, Pueblo,
Rock Island. Davenport, Cedar Rapids,
Ottumwa or Topeka. This is the last
chance for Topeka to get in the league.
Thomas J. Hickey, OF St Joseph. who
was elected president and treasurer. is
anxious for Topeka to have one of those
clubs. The long jump to Denver is Sc
verely criticised by club managers. TSe
Topeka fans who have been interested
in baseball here, are anxious for some
one who wishes to start a club to come
here and manage one, but they do not
intend to foster the enterprise them
selves. Topeka does not want char
ity club that has to be kept alive by
donations. If an enterprising baseball
manager wants to come and start one,
he will receive solid support.

DREYFUS WRITES
That He viii Never Rest Until
France Is Con WINGED of His
Innocence.

New York. Dec. 5-A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
NJ. CIamangaren, president of the
senate committee which has to report
on the various bills providing a general
amnesty for all OffenSeS connected with
the Dreyfus case has received the fol-
lowing letter from Capt. Dreyfus dated
CaTpentraS, December 2:
"On the very day that liberty was
given me through a governmental
measure which did not solicit I wrote
the following declaration:
50 The government of the republic
gives me liberty. 1t is nothing to me
without honor. From today and hence
forth 1 intend to follow up the repara-
tion of the terrible judicial error of
which I am still a victim. I want the
whole of France to know by a definite
judgment that I am innocent My soul
will never be at rest until there is no
longer a Frenchman who imputes to
me crime that another has commit
ted.
1T is not for me to intervene in the
political discussions aroused by the
amnesty question, but if the judgment
which has been unjUstly passed upon
me has deprived me of my rights as
citizen I still keep my full rights as a.
man. I only ask one thing from the
authOrities-that is. that they viii not
take away any means which is con-
ferred upon me by the law of the fol-
lowing up the revision of my case"
