To drum beat and heart beat
A soldier marches by;
There is color in his cheek,
There is courage in his eye;
Yet to drum beat and heart beat,
In a moment he must die
BY starlight and moonlight
He seeks the Briton's camp,
He hears the rustHng flag
And the armed sentry's tramp:
And the star light and moon light
His silent wanderings lamp
With slow tread and still tread,
He scans the tented line;
And he counts the battery guns
BY the gaunt and shadowy pine,
And his slow tread and still tread
Give no warning sign
The dark wave, the p1umed wave.
s 1t meets his eager glance,
And it sparkIes meath the stars
Like the glimmer of a lance

He listens to his doom:
In his look there is no fear,
Nor a shadow-trace of gloom;
But with calm brow, and steady brow,
He robes him for the tomb.
In the long night, the still night,
He kneels upon the sod,
Aid the brutal guards withhold
Fen the precious Word of God;
In the long night the still night,
He walks where Christ has trod.
Meath the blue morn the sunny morn,
He dies upon the tree,
And he mourns that he can lose
But one life for liberty
And in the blue morn, the sunny morn,
His spirit-wings are free
But his last words, his message words,
They burn. lest friendly eye
Should read how proud and calm

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
Saws Struggled Into the Jail, but the
Plan Was Discovered.

James Welsh, sentenced to from one to
three years on a charge of petit larceny.
George Miller, sentenced to from one to
four years on a charge of grand larceny,
and Francis Shafer, sentenced to from two

and battery with intent to rob, were taken
to Jacksonville Reformatory by Sheriff
Clark yesterday.
Shafer is from Chicago and is said to
have a bad record. When placed in Jail he
is quoted as saying that he would get cut,
and yesterday when his cell was searched
four saws ten and one-half inches long and
three-eighths of an inch in width were
found hidden in his mattress. The bars
on one of the windows showed that the
prisoners had been at work, as a slight
impression made the iron. The
saws are supposed TO have been smuggled

MOST GERMANS FAVOR M'KINLEY
AND PROSPERITY.
They Are Afraid of Bryan's Silver

and Gossip.

Samuel II. Wulfmann, Of Huntingburg,
who has been making speeches in German
in Spencer, Bartholomew and Benton coun-
ties, under the direction OF the state com
mittee, is in the city spending Sunday. He
expects TO make more German speeches
and will go back to Bartholomew county at
the request of the party workers there Mr..
Whitman is greatly encouraged over the
success he has had, and from the stories he
relates in reference to his reception among
the Germans there is no doubt about the
German vote In Indiana.
Mr.. Whitman declares that he has not
found single German voter who has been
Republican who will not support the Re-
publican ticket this year. On the contrary.
he says the Republicans will gain many
German votes from the ranks of the De-
mocracy ST have talked to a good many
Germans" said Mr.. Whitman yesterday.
land find that those who are Republicans
are still loyal. The Germans resent the
charge made by the Democratic leaders
that the Germans are deserving the Repub-
lican party because of the issue of impe-
rialism. They feel that = is a reflection
their intelligence. AS matter Of fact, the
Germans are not worrying about the issue
of Imperialism; ii is the financial question
that is occupying the minds of the Ger
mans. They would be afraid to vote for
Bryan, because they think he would be
dangerous man to be at the head of the
government.
A FINE ORGANIZATION.
Mr.. Wulfmann says that Spencer county
has the finest German Republican organi-
cation in the State. He says he finds that
a great many of the young Germans Of
the State-those who belong to Democratic
families-will vote for Mckinley. In some
Instances whole families of Germans will
leave the Democracy this year because of
the free silver danger. and in other cases
the fathers, who have perhaps voted the
Democratic ticket all their lives. will re-
main with the party, but the sons will
vote for Mckinley. Me-. Whitman says
he found one case where the father. an
elderly man. said he did not care to change
his politics, but remarked: MY boys will
vote for the Republican candidates, and
that is all right" Mr.. Wulfmann, in adj
dition to addressing large audiences of
Germans, visits them in their homes and
has heart to heart talks with them. He
believes he is in position to speak au-
thoritatively on the German question, and
he asserts that there need be no uneasi-
ness in Indiana about the German vote.
Before / started out speechmaking," said
Mr.. Whitman, 81 was a little bit uneasy
over what the papers had to say about
the Germans and Imperialism, and / was
not right certain what / would find when
l got into the heat of the campaign. But
find that there is nothing in this talk
about the Germans being of on imperial
ism. The Republican Germans will all vote
for Mckinley and some Democrats will
vote with them"

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
A. :. Edwards, OF Chicago, Ridicules
Mr.. Bryan's Position.

A. S. Edwards. editor of the Social Demo-
cratic Herald. OF Chicago. addressed an
audience OF about fifty Social Democrats
I'm Reichwein's Hall last night. According
10 the custom in such addresses the speaker
devoted considerable time to tracing the
alleged evolution of the workingman from
the state in which he was the sole owner OF
the tools OF implements with which he per-
formed his labor tc the present time. when
he is asserted to be a slave-no longer own-
ing the machine with which he toils-but
absolutely dependent upon the few who do
control such machines. Mr.. Edwards made
a plea for the social revolution and In
suguration of the cooperative common
wealth-that system OF national and inter-
national cooperation for which Social
Democracy the wide world over stands. .
Concerning the Democratic party he said
mr. Bryan. they tell US, proposes to help

pose 10 DO IL. Well, by destroying the

Members of the Home Heating and Light
ing Company are now said TO be visiting
other cities where the hot water system of
heating is in use in effort to decide
which system is the best. 1t is now said
to be doubtful whether a plant will be put
in this winter The provision of the con-
tract and franchise with the city specifies
that work shall begin within ninety days
after the selection of the territory 10 be
heated by the system, and that the plant
shall be ready for service by the first OF
next September. The Board of Works has
not yet selected the territory TO be sup
piled by the first heating plant, the reason
being given that the board Is waiting for
the company to select its system. and TO
get its plans in shape before compelling
Ii TO start the plant within the ninety
days limit. The members who are ex-
aiming the different systems are said
to be having difficulty in choosing because
OF the warm weather. the systems not be-
ing able TO prove their merits. Another
reason for the delay Is said TO be that the
large order for iron and pipes cannot be
filled on short notice unless exorbitant
prices aresp paid. The ordinance and fran
chise We're pushed in order that the COM
pany might begin the erection of its plant
this winter.

for the accident The lights were burn
ing and the bell was ringing. as it always
is when moving, there being steam con-
nections which keep the bell constantly
ringing.
There was much comment by those at
the scene of the accident concerning the
absence OF electric lights at the crossing.
The lack OF such lights makes the passage
of pedestrians dangerous for the reason
over the crossing, their approach cannot
be seen until they have passed the prop
erty line and then only indistinctly. The
absence of lights at other crossings was
mentioned.
