On beautiful May Mornings.

On beautiful May mornings l often watch
and wait
Where lilies of the valley grow beside the
garden gate;
For when the white flowers open in frag-
rance and in grace,
a lovely garland | shall make for my SOL
diers resting place.
When lay the wreath upon his grave on
Decoration day.
l shall dream of the bright May morning
when the soldiers marched away.
When to all they loved so dearly they said
Il sad good-by,
And think how grand thing it was for
their native land TO die.

No Excuse Whatever.

The fact that the democratic party
has been deprived OF the power to do
immediate harm in the way of financial
legislation Is not sufficient excuse for
giving it power. There are other i'm
portant questions to deal with and
that party's capacity for laundering is
as robust as ever.

good driving on the part of Aiken, who

Belle so hard that she went into the

TEAM HOME FROM MADISON.
With Exception OF First Two In-
nings the Team Played Win
ming Ball.

The baseball team returned from
Madison last Friday. Rain interferred
with their games and only one of the
series was PLAYED. Madison made two
earned runs and Mitchell one. In the
first two innings Madison made six
runs, all of these on errors. After that
the boys played ball and the game was
fast and closely contested, both teams
making two scores. The in6eid was
changed in the game to great disad-
vantage, and resulted in five errors
which cost the game. A new man
with good baseball reputation, has
been engaged to go with the team to

GOES TO REFORM SCHOOL.
The Eldest Christopher Boy is Sent
to the Reform School for
Reformation.

Theodore and Harry Christopher,
aged IA and IL years, respectively,
we're up before Justice McKinle!
Friday afternoon on charge OF steal
ing. The boys were arrested at noon
Friday and the trial WAS completed
late in the afternoon. The robbery
was committed several days ago when
the boys effected an entrance into the
cellar of the residence where Ed. Lee
han formerly lived: Mr.. Leehan had
not moved all the things from the eel
lar, and among them was large num-
Der OF his samples and some wine. The
house was not occupied while it was
undergoing repairs and it wss an easy
matter for the boys to get in and take
what they wanted. The principle wit
ness against the boys was Miss Schnei-
der, who makes her home at the Full
lerton residence. She saw the boys go
into the cellar and carry away the
wine. The act was committed in the
afternoon. Another witness was Gus
tavus Trem4lne, who accompanied the
Christopher boys, but the evidence did
not connect him in any way with the
affair, as he did not go near the house.
His testimony corroborated the state
ments of Miss Schneider. After the
evidecce was all in Justice Mckinley
considered it sufficient to bind the boys
over and they are now in the hands OF
the sheriff.
The two Christopher boys who were
convicted in Justice Mckinley's court
for having carried off some bottles OF
wine were taken before Jude Abbey, OF
the probate court, Saturday morning
for the settlement of the matter as to
whether they should be taken to the
reform school. Judge Powers appeared
for the boys and made strong plea TO.
their liberty. States Attorney Winsor
presented his side 0 the case and the
court rendered the opinion placing tbs
elder boy, I Theodore. in the reform
school The court said that he did no'
do this as matter OF punishment fol
he believed the boy had been punished
sufficiently since his arrest in the
knowledge of having been arrested fol
committing crime, but he believed i
to be necessary for the boys future
that he be removed from the influences
that surrounded him to make him a bet
ter individual when he grows into man
hood. 1t was more for the reformation
OF the boy, the court said, that he sen
him to the reformatory than for punish
ment. The younger boy the cour
thought was not the proper age to SEM
to school for crime, on the groun'
that he was too young to understan'
: the nature of crime. He was remande
back. to the lower court to be liberate
and the young fellow WAS turned loos
at the conclusion of the hearing at th
court house.
The order for committing the eldes
boy to the reform school was made OF
Saturday and that afternoon Sheri
Swindler went to the echool with th
young man. How long he will sta
there depends largely upon his b.
: hqvior and as to whether he shows an
4 disposition to turn from his ways.
