THE LAST GOODBYE.

How shah know It is the last sood-bysf
The skies will not be darkened In that hour,
No sudden blight win fan on leaf or lower
No single bird win hush its careless CITY,
And you will hold my hands. aud smile ar In
Just as before Perchance the sudden tears
In your dear eyes viii answer 10 my fears;
But there will come no voice Of prophecy:
No voice TO whisper. Nov. and not again,
Space for last words, last kisses, and last praysr
For all the wild, unnitgated pain
OF those who. parting clasp bands with despsir %
Who knovsf we say. bat doubt and fear rpmaiu
Would any choose TO part thus unswsref

A GOOD ESTION.

Mayor Yegen, in the address he
made to tho council Tuesday evening,
which is published in full in this issue,
suggests that the city and county CON-
bine interests for the construction of a
public building; one that will serve az
a court house and city hall. This idea,
we believe, will strike the taxpayers
favorably. Certainly, a new court
house ia a necessity, and the business of
the city is growing to such proportions
that a city hall will soon be imperative.
The CITY owns lots on Twenty eighth
street, in the rear of the present court
house, which would be a suitable To-
cation for both a court house and city
hall. By the city and county combin.
ing interests, such a building could be
built without burdening the taxpayers,
aud the question Of Il location, which
is sure to cause more CT less conten.
tion whenever Il new city hall or court
house are to be built, would he set.
tied at the outset.
Mayor Yegen should follow up his
suggestion by appointing Il committee
OF the council to confer with the county
commissioners about the matter at their
next meeting. The idea is too good a
one to be advanced and then not fol.
lowed up to it's logical conclusion.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1900.
A GOOD SERIAL STORY.

The Gazette today begins the publ
cation Of a good serial story. "The
Mystery of Count Landrinof" by Fred
Whishaw. 1t will be found an interest
ing novel, several chapters OF which
will appear every Friday until it is
completed, which will ba in ten or
twelve weeks, The political system of
Russia makes possible the interesting
plot upon which this story Is based.
CUNT Landrinof, a Russian nobleman,
a happy father and II well loved hus-
band, mysteriously disappears from an
ideal home. The efforts of his son, a
young man educated in England, and
his English school chum, aided by a
clever detective, to oleur up the nys.
terry, form the basis of the tale. The
senes are laid in Russia and England.
Tho experiences of the young men are
novel and exciting. There are many
dramatic situations which serve to
MAINTAIN the interest at a high pitch
from the beginning to the end. 1t
transpires that the count is a victim Of
a well laid plot aud is sent to Siberia as
a convict in the place of a brother, who
had gone wrong in early life and who
had escaped form Imprisonment. Even
after these facts were discovered it
was no easy thing to convince the Rus"
sian government that 1t held in bond
age Il nobleman Of its W realm in
stead of the real felon. 1t was only af-
ter the Illustration of a skilfully laid
plan to assassinate the czar that the
real truth was forced upon the authori-
ties and justice was done to all parties
concerned,
