Next Sunday another of those
special trains will pull out from
Brayton loaded with stock from the
feed yards of l. P. Hallock, at Oak
field, and bound for the Union stock
yards at Chicago. Mr.. Hallock will
be joined by Messrs. Chris Knudsen
and Godfriedsen, two go-ahead farm
ers and feeders, west of town, who
will go with Mr.. Hallock and the
stock and take look at the wonders
to be seen in the big city by the lake
side.
Despite the inclemencv of the
weather the dance given at the Do
lores Opera House last Friday night
was we'll attended. This was a meas
ure dueto the enterprise Of Mr.. D. f.
Myers, who sprang veritable snr-
prise upon our townfolks by securing
two accomplished musicians from our
midst. Dolores has good reason to be
proud of the execution and technique
of Mrs. Neo Bruner and Prof. Wilson
OF the latter's solo work it is as sup
ertluous to speak words of commend
ton as il would be of the March King
Sousa Yet it had hitherto been
doubted that he could or would
pose as " second fiddler " to any body.
Stuff ;e it to say that he has done SO to
the intense satisfaction OF his audi
tors. OF Mrs. Burners playing no
commentary could be more eloquent
than the critical remark of one OF our
rural SWANS of we'll known Terp-
sichorean proclivities: By gum!" I'd
sooner listen to that pianner playin'
than dance any time"-Dolores Colo

"The Queen Is Dead"

'The Queen Is Dead"
The queen is dead! Long live the king,
Victoria, adieu!
The world says-what says the world
OF one the world knew
The queen is dead!" So sounds the CIV,
When, in the midst of strife,
All nations sigh in sympathy
As she-the queen-flnds life
The queen is dead! Victoria?
Nay! Death hath no such ring
As vibrates now 'twixt earth and heaven
And makes the songless singh
The queen is dead? Why death belle
When life impels the heart
OF well nigh all humanity
To beat in tuneful part?
The queen is dead? Gods own good queen
To bless the nations lent
In virtues name to crown the king
Whose reign is yet unspent?
The queen is dead? Long live the queen
As by her life made known,
Like clnging ivy. evergreen,
To grace the British throne!
Let hills and dales with praise resound
The praises OF queen thrice crown'd.
In maidenhood-a crown of gold,
In ripe old age-in honor's mold,
And in that bright celestial sphere
The crown Of life she lived for here.

vERDPs SIMPLE TASTES.
Signor BcviGnani's "Reminiscences of
Visits to the Comnoser

Signor Bcvi.nani's "Reminiscences of
Visits to the Composer.
Enrico Bevignani, who is now acting
as conductor of Nine. Sembrich's opera
company, was more intimately asso-
ciated with Verdi than anybody else
who has recently been in the United
States He used to meet the composer
every year at Montecatini in July.
1t was Signor Bevignani who first in
troduced the composers "Aida" to
London, when the singers at Covent
Garden were Mines. Patti and Scalchi
and NM. Nicolini and Graziani. He
later conducted the first performance
of the opera in Moscow, when the lead
ing roles We're sung by Mines. Stoltz
and Anna Louise Cary and NM. Masini
and Cotogini. Besides, he was always
the conductor at st. Petersburg, Mos
COW and London when the Verdi op-
eras formed much more important
part of the repertory than they do to-
day.
When they parted last summer at
Milan. Verdi said to the conductor:
Farewell, my dear friend. We will
meet again here next year unless death
claims me-"
Verdi was vigorous up to the time of
his death and walked about with ap-
parently as much strength as any of
his friends.
He disliked nothing so much as an
attempt to aid him." Signor Bevignani
said while in New York the other day
to New York Sun reporter, "and any
stranger who offered his arm soon re-
allied from the manner in which his
offer was received that his help was
not desired. Verdi was very modest
man and of such extremely simple
tastes that he would not even keep
valet. During her lifetime his wife
had maid, but in spite Of the sug-
gestions of his friends he would never
have anybody to look after him. l
often asked him why he did not engage
valet, and he always replied that he
never felt the need of anybody to help
him.
Nothing could be less true of Verdi
than the story that he was great
talker and loved to entertain his
friends with anecdotes. AS a matter
of fact, he was very taciturn man
and rarely spoke. He would sit for
a long time with his friends and never
speak. Much Of his fortune went to
build the asylum for musicians at
Milan, but in spite Of that he died
very rich man"

NEW GAME PROTECTOR.
MIR. Brnckett's Electric Means of De-
Tense For His Pheasants.

Tense For His Pheasants.
If poachers or wild animals ever run
against the wjse netting which sur
rounds Edward A. Brackets Mongo-
liam pheasant corral in Winchester aft
er dark, they will be surprised, says a
Boston dispatch to the New York Sun.
The wire fence is chock full CT cleo
tricity. The current is powerful enough
to kill animals which come in contact
with it or to knock out man.
Mr.. Bracket is member of the
Massachusetts commission of inland
fisheries and game and has had charge
Of the Monaghan pheasant department
for the last five or six years. His
broods have suffered considerably from
the ravages Of man and beast. He has
often gone to the aviary in the morn
ing only to discover that some one Wis
tied the place during the night for the
purpose of stealing the game, while
cats and skunks have assisted in kill
ing the BIRDS
Mr.. Bracket procured dynamo and
to 1t attached water motor capable
of making 1000 revolutions a minute
and grinding out powerful electric
current. He then purchased half
mile Of copper wire and strung it along
the top and bottom Of the fence that
incloses about an acre and half Of
land. The corral has roofing Of wire
also, and when the dynamo is running
the current sweeps the Enclosure in a
dangerous manner.
The gates to the corral are also wired
so that no one can open them when the
dynamo is at work. In case a person
or an animal tries to get into the avia-
ry he can hardly escape touching the
copper wire protector and must neces-
sarily come into contact with the wire
netting at the same time. A connec-
ton thus being established between
the copper conductor and the ground,
the invader will receive severe shock.

fish, ever seen in American waters has
just been caught in Nassau sound, near
Fernandina, and is now in alcohol on

biologists have long regarded this
native of the West African coast,
which remains for days out of water,
as one of the strangest departures from
nature. For this land life the fish is
fitted by long arms, with elbow and
wrist. while the fingers are separate
and prehensile instead of fiat and fin

paper with the words: "Since the time
of the fig leaves two questions of para

minds of mankind-"What shall eat?"
and "Wherewithal shall be clothed?''
Mrs. Richey said all other questions,
whether religious, scientific or political,
sank into insignificance before these two
vital economic considerations. She said
whatever the cause that was filling every
department Of remunerative labor with
women, the fact remained that there
was large army of women bread win

to hold their hard vantage ground. The
members of the club pledged themselves
anew to increase their efforts to enlarge

solicit five new members during the next

Attribute to Woman.

The strength and glory of nation
rests for security upon the home of its
people. The strength and power of the
homes Of people is measured by the char
acter of the women who preside in them.
Hence, whatever uplifts and strengthens
woman makes the nation more secure.
You can correctly measure the civiliza.
ton of people by their estimate of WON
an and the position in their society
held by her. This statement needs no
enlargement. Measured by this unerring
standard, not since the morning stars
sang together in celestial symphony at
the dawn of creation, has there been a
time or country when and wherein
woman held higher, holier place in
the life of the nation than at this time
in this great country of ours. This can
be said to the immortal glory of this
land. Our women are the moral and
spiritual life of this republic. Their in
tellectual activities are as boundless as
their opportunities are great. In the
realm ofliterature, of art, of philosophy,
in every department of intellectual life
they're winning golden laure.s But it
is in the home where woman rules and
reigns an uncrowned but royal queen,
superb mistress of human destinies; it is
her she is the real SAVIOR of life to this
great nation.-Selected.
