The Best Food for Intellectual

No man can vote intelligently unless
he thinks intelligently. In this time of
"wars and rumors of wars" the greatest
aid to intelligent thought is that news
paper which is greatest and best.
Important political issues are daily
growing more important. An intelligent
understanding of the policy of nation
or great political party is something
to be desired, and it is the duty of every
citizen to thoroughly informed himself
upon the leading topics of the day.
The Semi Weekly Republic is the
greatest and best of all newspapers. Its
telegraphic and cable news service
excells that of any other paper. 1t prints
the new news fully; not imaginative
occurrences, but domestic and world
distant, fully authenticated facts.
The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. Now is the time
to subscribe for the best medium of
keeping in touch with the whole world,
The Semi Weekly Republic.
mo less worthy of attention is The
Republics Sunday Magazine. It is re-
plete each issue with the best of special
articles written by the best OF literary
talent. Its beautiful half-tone illustra-
tions have already made it famous and
their quality and quantity will be pre-
served.
News features of absorbing attraction
are illustrated and enlarged upon in a
manner equal to the high priced maga-
zines. Events of current interest are
set forth in entertaining style. There is
humorin its pages, too, and for the bene-
fit Of the ladies the latest Paris fashions
are each week exquisitely illustrated and
described. The Republics Sunday
Magazine is standard.
The subscription price Of The Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine St.2b per
year. Both papers are now being offer
ed at the very low price Of $3.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate both must
be ordered and paid for at the same time.

it appears, live between Richardson's s
and Lowndes. Richardson's wife had
gone there to await her husbands return
and when the Browns returned without
him she started to go home but they
told her Richardson would not be at
home that night and in this way pursuad-
ed her to stay there until morning. On
arriving at her home Sunday morning
she found that her husband had not yet
returned. She became alarmed and a
search party was organized and Richard
son was found murdered. After murder
ing him, an attempt was made to burn
the body. Robbery is thought to have
been the object, as Richardson is said to
have had 500 with HIM with him with
which he was trying to buy a farm.
Further particulars are wanting.

The Wolf at the Door.

The VOLTS out there, at the door, and
his fangs are keen to slay;
Christ pity the starved and shivering soul
that falls in the black VOLTS wayl
AS for me-do fear him-this wolf Of
hunger and sin?
Let the storm beat down the barriers and
let mine enemy in!
Stealthily on my track through the
ghostly world he steals;
Only shadow grim and black bounding
beggar's heels.
A shadow in the light of day-a horror
in the night;
And what does the howl OF the black wolf
say to the soul that God made
white?
The storm and the darkness are on thee
Oh, lost to the beauty and beam!
Brooding forever and ever DER the ashes
of dreaml
Hunger wraps rags around thee; the rich
are in purple state;
But the dogs snarl at the beggars that
kneel at the rich mans gate.
'-"The storm and the darkness are on
thee-be one with the storm and
the night
There is never morn that shall greet
thee or crown thy scared forehead
with light,
Tossed on aifathomless ocean where never
shore lamp saves,
The cry OF the drowning is in thine ears
with the wailing of the waves!"
So does the howl of the black wolf sayGo
the soul that God made whites
But wrapmy rags around me and dream
of the dawn of Light.
Shall the black storm beat forever? Is
there never port to win?
'Twere a coward deed to break the bolts
and let mine enemy in!
For his cruel fangs would rend and slay
** Whatever my soul may be
1t is deeper than the darkness-it is
stronger than the sea.
Is it bowed by the strength of hills, does
it shrink meath the scourging
rod
This spark of dead, forgotten worlds
this Memory of God?
Oh, out of the storm comes peace, and
out of the darkness, light:
The ships sail sure to the haven-as sure
as the gulls in flight,
The captains sight the shore-line, and
over the ocean knells
They hear in the hopeless night of fear
the melody of the bells.
There is love, there is light, there is Joy
where the tempeSt-flags are
furled;
God hears in the night of ages the breath
ing of the world.
In the hollow of His hand the strength of
the stars shall be,
And His spirit shall stifAe and still the
rage of the overwhelming sea.
There is love. there is light in the world:
and the wolf with his eyes of flame
Is beaten back in the storm and night,
and the silence whispers Name;
And the beautiful name is Love; and he
leads me to the light
Where the hills are glad of the morning,
and there shall be no more night.

THIRTY Millions,

The Republican campaign for
A'dough" to conduct the fight for
the Presidency is about to open.
Henry G, Payne, chairman Of the
Republican Executive Committee,
left here on Sunday after perfect
ing the plans for the great crusade
with Hanna, Dick and other leaders.
The trusts will be the main point
of attack. The Republicans raised
$l8,000.000 in 1896, mostly from the
trusts. This year owing to the
alarm felt by the Republican leaders
over the uprising against the Puer-
to Rico tariff bill and other features
of the ADMINISTRATORS policy,
y$3O,OO0,000 will be demanded.
The managers of the combines
will be told that there can be no
excuses; that If the money is not
forthcoming legislation that will
seriously bamperifnot extermfnate
them will be pushed through,
The campaign to be made for
President Mckinley will be con-
Quoted on scale of unparalleled
expenditure, Every stump speaker
available will be pressed into the
service Immediately after the June
convention.
The President will be sent to
San Francisco by special train and
back to Washington by another
route unless present plans are
changed, speaking at the centers of
population and from the car plat
form.
He will spend much time at
Canton in order that the popular
pilgrimage ofl896 may be repeated.
Billions of documents will be sent
out.
Millions of copies Of Senator
Lodges speech on the Philippines
are being printed, and a Republican
leader told World correspondent
