The Little Red Apple Tree.

The Little Red Apple Tree.
The Little Red-Apple Tree!
Oh, the Little Red-Apple Tree!
When I was the little-est bit Of boy.
And you were boy with me!
The bluebirds fight from the topmost
boughs.
And the boys up theresa high
That we rocked over the roof Of the
house,
And whooped as the winds went by!
Ho! the Little Red Apple Tree!
With the garden beds below,
And the old grape-arbor SO welcomely
Hiding the rake and hoe
Hiding, too. as the sun dripped through
In spattcrs OF wasted gold,
Frank and Amy away from you
And me, in the days Of old.
All! the Little Rcd-Apple Tree!
In the edge Of the garden-spot.
Where the apples fell so lavishly
Into the neighbours lot
So do think Of you.
Brother Of mine, as the tree
Giving the ripest wealth Of your love
To the world as well as me.
Oh. the Little Red Apple Tree!
Sweet as its juiciest fruit
Spanged on the palate spicily.
And rolled DER the tongue to boot.
Is the memory still and the joy
OF the Little KedApplc Tree.
When I was the little-est bit OF boy.
And you were boy with me!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN did not start out to
free the slaves, but to save the Union.
The war with Spain was not of our seek
ing, and some of its consequences may
not be to our liking. Our vision is often
defective. Shorts ightedness is a com
mon malady, but the closer we get to
things, or they get to US, the clearer our
view and the less obscure our duty.
Patriotism must be faithful as we'll as

which will command the applause of the

AFTER ALL is not imperialism fake is
sue, of which there is no real danger to
the country, which is only advanced to
conceal other purposes or to gain power?
No one supposed for an instant that
the American people would tolerate i'm
perialism directed against themselves in
any form, and the risk today is certainly
not real. Nor would the majority of
them willingly tolerate imperialism di-
rected against others. Nine-tenths of
the American people today don't want
the Philippines. But they are an ele-
plant left on our hands by the fortunes
of war, unsought on our part When
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
feet in Manila 4larbor, and our army re-
duced the city, destroying the only gov
eminent in existence there, ought we to
have turned the city over to be looted by
Aguinaldo and his followers, as the lat
ter demanded? Ought we to have turn
ed the American, English, German and
other white inhabitants, as we'll as the
peaceful Filipinos, over to anarchy, or
ought we, having destroyed the only sup
port of law, justice, and protection to
life and liberty in the city, to replace it
with another government at least as
good, especially as the city and all in it,
by the express terms of the capitulation
of May IS, 1898, were entrusted to our
projections: "This city, it's inhabitants.
its churches, and religious worships, it's
educational Establishments and it's pri-
vate property of all descriptions, are
placed under the special safeguard of
the faith and honor of the American
army" and then, as soon as the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines are capable of
self government, to hand it over to them,
as MIR. McKin ley proposes? at is our
purpose to establish in the Philippines,
a government suitable to the needs and
conditions Of the inhabitants and to
give them self government when they
are ready for it and as rapidly as they
ARE ready for it."

FOR THE DEAD SOLDIERS.

An Important Question to be Submitted
at the Election Next Tuesday.
One of the most important matters to
be considered at the coming election is
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection of a monument or memorial
building to the deceased soldiers of the
late war. The following will explain the
law and instructions as to marking the
ballot.
Whereas, Section $40 of the revised
statutes as amended by chapter 23O,
laws of 1895, authorizes county boards
to appropriate sum of money not ex-
ceeding $4,000 for the erection and con-
~struction of a suitable monument or
memorial building to the deceased SOL
diers of the late war of the rebellion;
and,
Whereas, The said question will be
submitted to vote of the electors at the
election on Tuesday, November 9Th, in
accordance with law, said monument or
memorial building to be erected in the
court house park, and to the end that
the matter may be fully understood by
the electors of the county it is hereby

question is voted upon on the regular
election ballot to which it is attached
and forms part by putting an X in the
square at the right under the words yes

hoped that the voters will remember the
walor and great sacrifice OF the noble
dead and that the proposed monument

they see a way out of it. Accordingly
the democratic platform this year is 81

publican platform declares for an ex-

be justified. Like other enterprises
this is good one to trust only to its

The republicans of Beloit and vicinity
have a most excellent candidate for
sheriff in r. J. Maltpress. He is en-
titled and shonld received the vot of
every republican voter in the county.
Especially should every republican in
Beioit cast his vote for him, for the time
will come when the republicans of Be-
lott will ask the votes of all the republi-
cans OF the county for some one of their
esteemed fellow citizens who may be-
come a nominee for county office. Be-
lott should give Mr.. Maltpress majority
that shall stand as a rightful claim for
consideration before all future county
conventions. Beloit republicans should
by their votes show that they are stall

Galveston Horror the 6g1orsf
Calamity of Century.

The 1ateTt news from loodswept
Galveston increases the horror of the
picture left by the terrible tidal wave.
At least ten thousand persons were
swept into eternity by the wind and
wave that set in at o'clock Saturday
morning, and continued for twenty
four hours. The following report is
from a correspondent at the scene of
the dreadful calamity.
The exodus of the people of Calves
ton, fleeing from hunger and pestilence
and thousand-fold suffering, has begun
in earnest.
At least 1000 men and women had
taken advantage of the transporta--
ton facilities furnished by pressing
into service all available small boats
and sailed to Texas City and Virginia
Point. Other thousands are ready to
leave as soon as they can secure pas
sage.
Must Get Them Away.
Mayor Jones says that there are at
least 1000 women and children and in
jured men whom it is imperative to
take away at once to avoid great NOR
tally among them.
Their going is a blessing to them,
and it will be an equal blessing to
those who remain behind. The citi-
zens' committee is using every effort
to encourage the departure of all who
will go, and especially of the women
and children. 1t is furnishing free
transportation to many, and in this it
is assisted by the railroad companies.
Survivors Taken North.
Word was received from General
Manager Trice of the International &
Great Northern Railroad that suffer-
ers would be carried free to Houston
boats land, and that transportation to
points still further north would be
furnished to people unable to pay their
way. The Galveston, Houston e Hen
derson road will also operate relief
trains and carry refugees from Texas
City to Houston.
The establishment of this passenger
service out of the city and of a relief
freight service from Clinton to Gal
weston to bring in supplies, which is
promised, will greatly relieve the sit
uation at Galveston, but it is still bad
enough.
May Convene Legislature.
There is much talk of asking Gov
Sayers to call a special session of the
legislature to come to the relief of
Galveston and appropriate large sum
for it. District Judge William H
Stewart has telegraphed the request to
him.
All of the terrors of the previous
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1900-09-20

of the department Of the gulf, and Ad-
jutant-General Scurry of Texas, are on
the ground, and are advising with
Mayor Jones and with Chief of Police
Ketchum.
In all other respects the city is
worse off than on the morning after
the tragedy. A terrible stencil perme-
ates the atmosphere. It comes from
the bodies of a thousand unburied dead
fostering in the debris that cannot be
removed for weeks on account of the
paucity of laborers.
The loss of life Thursday morning
was estimated by conservative people
at 5000. Besides the thousand or
more bodies yet pinned beneath the
wreckage hundreds of cadavers, all
putrid and bloated, float beneath
smashed-up piers. Hundreds of bodies
are floating in full view in the bay.
Every tide brings scores back to the
shore. During the early part of We'd
nesday trenches were dug and bodies
thrown into them, but it soon became
an impossibility to bury all the dead,
and the health authorities decided
upon cremation as an expedient
Funeral fires were built and torches
applied.
In one pile eighty-three bodies were
ineinerated. Thursday morning the
charred remains of 1000 victims lay
smoking on the shore.
Food Famine Is On.
A food famine is now on, as we'll as
that of water. The best hotel in town
served Thursday for breakfast to it's
400 patrons small cup of black coffee
and one slice of bread. But one res
taurant is open; unseasoned coffee is
all that can be obtained here. Horses
and cattle stray through the streets
untethered. The water is so contami-
mated with filth that even these dumb
beasts refuse to drink it. The commit
tee on public safety has Communicated
the food owned by merchants in the

though unavoidable neglect, killed
most of them. That hundreds of
others will die in the same way is
probable, even if no pestilence breaks
out. Several persons have already
gone insane from their sufferings.
But in immediate horror these
things are trifles compared to the saw
agery of vandalism and the almost
equal savagery of the punishment that
must be melted out to offenders. Many
roughs and criminals succeeded in
reaching Galveston before the authori-
ties awoke to the need of keeping them
