The Best Food for Intellectual
Thought.

No man can vote intelligently unless
he thinks intelligently. In this time
of s.wars and rumors of wars" the
greatest aid to intelligent thinking and
the best food for intelligent thought is
that newspaper which is greatest and
best.
Important political issues are daily
growing more important. An intelli-
gent understanding of the policy OF a
nation or a great political party Is
something to be desired, and 1t is the
duty of every citizen to thoroughly in
form himself upon the leading topics
of the day.
The Semi-Weekly Republic is the
greatest and best of all newspapers.
Its Geographic and cable news service
excells that of any other paper. 1t
prints the new news fully; not imag-
inative occurrences but domestic and
orld-distant, fully authenticated facts.
The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the

What so rare as June-the month Of
roses, sweet girl graduates and wed
dings fashionable and mnltitudinous,
The spring poet is frequent, the june
poet rare. Hear the inspiration:
Q month of June,
In gay festoon
And trailing robes of splendor;
You come to stay,
And chase away
Our frowns, with smiles so tenderi
You weave the gloom
OF sultry noon,
Into a web of beauty.
And makes the earth
Laugh out in mirth,
And put to wing, stern duty.
A gypsy queen!
Like fair Carmen,
All flushed with love unshamed.
Thy bosom white
With daisies bright,
And lips all berry-stained!
The faint perfume
OF hawthorn bloom,
Soft zephyrs have been robbing,
To steep the air
With odors rare
And set our pulses throbbing!
We rest our heads
On scented beds,
While buttercups lean over,
To kiss awake,
For summers sake,
Great fields of swaying clover.
The bees soft hum
Like muffled drum,
Makes idle dreams come Straying,
And low of herds,
And pipe of birds,
All restlessness allaying.
Q month OF June!
You come too sooni
To f1aunt in ours your face.
We long to dwell
In dreams a spell,
In dreams of subtle grace.
Elysian yields
Of harvest fields,
And soft winds warm and gay,
Sing sweet and low,
And softly blow,
"June's ours, but not for aye!"

Obituary.

1t is my sad and painful duty to in
form the readers of the REGISTER OF
the death of Rev. F. nj. Anderson. He
was born March Is, 1868, in Iron
county, Mo. Age 81 years. On March
IA, 1900, he was caught on a bridge
by the mail train and was knocked off
and instantly killed. He was at Bris-
toll, Tenn.
He was the State Evangelist of Eir-
GINA and travelled a great deal. He
preached at Bristol the second Sunday.
The pastor of the church at Bristol
was going out of town couple of
miles to visit friend and Rev. An
derson walked up the railroad half a
mile with him and started back alone
with the above result. He was going
to dine with another minister and was
walking along reading a newspaper
and the train was near him before he
knew it. He was trying to make an
escape, and was in four feet of landing.
He professed hope in the Lord in
1889, and had been in the ministry
work for four years. He leaves q
great many friends and relatives to
mourn bis loss.
The funeral took place at II o'clock
Sunday. March Is, Rev. J. T. Todd
preaching the funeral sermon. After
the services large concourse of rela-
tives and friends followed the remains
to the Steelville cemetery and were
laid in the client tomb to rest.
How slender is life's silver cord!
How soon it is broken here!
Each moment brings parting word,
And many a falling tear.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave SO low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fed,
And in heaven with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
And though these years, to mortal given,
Are filled with grief and pain,
There is hope-the hope of heaven,
Where loved ones meet again.
A NIECE.

Bullet in His Brain Ends the Life
of a Former st. Louisan
in New York.
INDICATIONS ARE OF SUICIDE.
Course OF the Ball Supports This
Theory. Although the Circum-
stances Point to Acct
dental Death.

A special dispatch to The Republic from
New York says that Harry T. Dekker. a
well-known promoter of Western railroad
properties. shot and killed himself last
evening in his apartments at No. so4s Sew
enth Avenue. Mystery surrounds the trag-
edy for the reason that while the nature OF
the wound inflicted by the bullet indicates
suicide. all other circumstances point to an
accident.
Mr. Decker, who was 3s years old. was
in business at No. 50 Broadway with his
brother-in-law, Throop Mason. He went TO
New York several years ago from this city
where his father and brothers now live.
With his wife Mr. Decker lived in the
fashionable boarding house at the address
given. conducted by Mrs. Ely. They had a
suite Of apartments on the third floor In
describing tine shooting the New York dis
patch says:
"It had been the intention of Mr.. and
Mrs. Decker to dine with friends in West
End avenue this evening. Mrs. bekker was
before a dresser in the front room putting
the last touches to her toilet. Her husband
was in a rear room a a chiffOnier. He WAS
in his shirt sleeves and was adjusting his
necktic while carrying on a pleasant con-
versation with his wife.
Mrs. Decker a moment later heard him
open one of the drawers of the Chinonter
and almost Instantly the report Of a pis-
tol shot sounded. She turned around in
time to her husband sinking to the
floor, while his right hand clutched a re-
volver. She rushed to his side and saw
blood pouring from a wound In his right
temple.
Mrs. Dekkers cries brought the inmates
of the house to her side. They found her
kissin, her husbands face and Historically
calling upon him to speak to her. She said
he must have taken the revolver from the
drawer to place II In his pocket. and. as 1t
was self-acting. discharged 1t unintention-
ally.

lives across the street. was summoned. and
he said the shot must have been instantly
fatal He turned his attention to the wife.
who he found was in a serious condition.
He administered opiates. TO which she
failed to respond. At late hour tonight
Doctor Palmer expressed a fear that she
might lose her reason. even should she re-
cover.
Doctor Palmer said the course Of the
bullet, which had passed through Mr.. Dek-
ker's brain. was such as to indicate the i'm
probability OF the wound having been ac-
cidentaliy inflicted"
