MEMORIES.

WRITTEN FOR THE BEE Here alone I sit, at midnight, Ge zing at the red fires glow In the grate bene ath the chimney; Fitting memories come and go, Memories of @ dear one parted, Gone to lands o far away. Taking with her ali the brightness Of long and dreary day. An, wonder if she knew 1t,
 Knew that in this f1eeting hour, She had planted in my memories. Kernels of 8 lasting flame, Seeds that were to sprout and fl urish In 8 lonely. barren land; Bringing forth 8 thousand blessings, All so beautiful, so bland? Will she come to pluck the blossoms, Of the seeds which she has sown; Or will she wand CT further from them Leaving them to fade alone? An. the fading, who can stop it.?
 Twas decreed bv Him above But he gave each flower to fade with, One to lean on, one to love.

Band Benefit Concert.

Thursday evening, Feb. %, under
the direction of Prof. Tonolli, the
band assisted by the orchestra and an
operatic chorus of % voices will be
given In the opera house. The chorus
comprises the best musical talent of
Cresco and with the thorough drill
that has been made will not only do
themselves credit individually, but
reflect great credit upon the local mu-
steal talent of our city. In addition
to this attractive feature, the orches-
ira will give some of it's choicest Sc
lections which will be supplemented
with some fine solos by different mem
bers of the band. The full program
carried out, as it will be, will make
this the greatest musical event that
has ever occurred in our city. Come
fearly, as the concert will begin
promptly at s O'Clock. Tickets on sale
to-day at Lomas' hardware store.

John Temple Graves lectured before
the people of Cresco for the Epworth
League last Friday evening. His
effort is spoken of as a very eloquent
address. His theme was Future of
Negro Problem. His remedy is their
colonization in body, denying them
the right of suffrage except within
the place of their colonization. This
all sounds very pretty, but it is utter
ly impracticable. Can he or any
other person point to the unoccupied
territory within the United States
that could be assigned them? If that
is to be the settlement of the negro
problem it is doomed to never be set
tied. Their disfranchisement in the
south would be a better solution.
There they are simply the dupes of
of cunning politicians, their ballot
having price as fixed as that of stocks
or bonds ia ihe market. In a certain
district in Virginia where the negro
element largely preponderates, the
democratic candidate invariably pre-
walls at the polls, but the republicans
of the House when in the majority al
ways hold that they were either brib-
ed or intimidated and did not vote and
on the strngth of this belief unseat
the democrat.

An Editor ought to be able to give
a reason ror the faith that possesses
him. OF course Mr.. Dano can tell
what vaccination is; why the rotten
pus taken from a diseased calf pro-
tects against small poX; how pure
glycerinated calf lymph is made pure:
why it produces syphilus, erysipelas,
cancer and about so other diseases In
vaccinatied persons; why out Of 5000
reported cases of small pox in the
United States during the past year
there have been practically no deaths
why many vaccinated persons have
died of lockjaw, the effect of vaccina
tion, beside contracting from itnumer
GUS diseases worse than small pox
why the United States volunteers
every one of whom was vaccinated
before leaving the United States, hav,
had the small poX in the Philippine
and Cuba: why he falls down an(
/ worships hoodoo, a fake and gives
no reason therefor. The PLAIN DEAL
ER offers the use of Its columns to an
physician who will explain these ques
o tions. Homeopaths are opposed t
$ vaccination, and so are the best med
cal authorities in the United State
