Thy LOVE.

Written for The Colored Americana
Thou dost not love me. tho thou sayest words of
such import.
Thine eyes betray the truth-they cannot hide
The thought thy heart dictates. They tell me that
the fort
OF thy affection is now occupied
And compassed round about by memory
Memory of another love. thought OF another day;
Another love. another day, in which I have
mart
Thou surely lowest me? Sweet words hear thee
say.
And forthwith Danish distrust from my heart
To welcome as its guest instability owe.

School Meeting

A meeting is called by the board
TO take pluce at the Walden school
house on the 10th inst. for the pur-
pose OF selecting site for the So
called West Side schoo. house. The
school law states that the interests Of
the parties directly interested must
he ousidered-thcnn no one not ac-
quainted with these interests can cast
Az intelligent vote.
We have asked the board to hold
said meeting in our school house, that
we might settle it between ourselves
no one not living so they can send
TO the school will object to this. 1t
is now in the midst of hayng, but we
shall all he there now, as the board
has for some unknown reason refused
TO hold the meeting in our own coun.
try; and it is but fair and altogether
proper that We be ollowed TO settle il
by an exclusive vote OF our people,
Notwithstanding the fact that all tax
payers are by law allowed to vote.
But if the East End people desire to
vote, all We ask is that they thor
oughly inform themselves before
voting. Th, majority Of those who
will use the school should decide the
location. This beng done, the vexed
question will be settled.
Supp osc every one in the district
should vote on this question, and
carry the location to some inconven-
lent place. Surely the whole matter
mr.st come up again and AGAIN until
it is right. So if any one cannot full
~ satisfy himself as to where the To-
cation should be, he will serve his
best interests and ours by not voting
at all.
We have had two representative
elections. One selected site by
unanimous vote, and the other lacked
one vote Of being unanimous, so it is
easy to sec that il it is left with US
in this meeting (the only chance the
board has ever given US, to be heard
in legal way) we can locate it right.

The owl notices that che milk OF
human kindness trickles in mighty
small stream in some instances where
stranger is within our gates. A
few days ago a aiclsly man from the
east died here in town. He had a
chronic ailmen: from which recovery
was impossible. He was only bed
fast three days, Jet during that time
his expenses ran up to over three
hundred dollars, and all because there
was "lack of human sympathy, a
dearth of womans tears" This is
not right. 1t is sadly out of keeping
with the people of the Great West.
We pride ourselves on our hospi-
tality and this was one instance
where none of it was shown except
in connection with the almighty dol
lar. The question of humanity, of
good-fellowship, Of charity and Of
sympathy for the suffering, never en-
tered INTO this matter, and moro ls
the shame TO all who knew and did
not respond. Tho man had plenty
of monoy--which should have cut no
figm:e--he WAS stranger in n strange
laud, far from homo, and dying in a

neal him, except son, who should
have had guardian. Dear reader,
think Of yourself or some member OF
your family likewise situated, and

There orc como indications that
Governor Odcll OF New Y York, may be
the next Republican nominee for the
Presidency. II the national conven-
ton were left free to act there is little
doubt hut that he would be. Bat
unfortunately this sort OF gathering
is rarely able to carry out its oTn de-
sire. 1t is apt to be dominated by
Interested Gnd selfish bosses, who are
more concerned about choosing q
man whom they can control after his
election than to get man who would
best administer the affairs Of the
country. Odell would undoubtedly
be u hard man to beat. He is un-
qucstionably very POPULAR and
would, we think. carry New York
against any man that the Democrats
could name. But he is, on account
of the very qualities that havo en-
dearcd him to the public, objection
able to the kosses. He has defied
Platt, and hes demonstrated that as
President he would be his OWE mas
ter. But Hanna, Quay, Plat, and
the other bosses have no use for such
man. They will turn him down, in
all likelihood, Just as in 1896 they

pose of securing the voters consent to
establish saloons anywhere in the
county, therefore be it resolved by this
meeting
First. That we urge all interested
in the welfare Of the county to use all
lawful efforts to defeat this petition.
Second. That we urge that steps
be taken to canvass every township
with a counter petition and protest.
Third. That WI urge all persons
who may have signed said saloon pc
ton hastily or through misrepresenta-
ton, to at once see that their names
are erased from the same before it is
filed with the auditor and published.
Fourth. That should the petition
be filed with the county auditor we
will publish all the names thereon, and
we Wa. have them carefully scrutiniz-
ed to ascertain if all are bona fide.vot-
ers."

WILLIAM GILL DIES.
He Was Once Editor Of the ottumwa
Courier.

The Journal Of Kirksville, Mo-, con
tains extended mention of the death
of William Maxwell Gill, at his home
in Oakland, Cal, a few days ago. Mr..
Gill vas a newspaper man of wide OK,
perience, and at one time was editor
of the Courier. He served during the
Civil war in the Federal army, and
after the war was finished he was con-
nected IN business with John A. Pick
Ter, of kirksville, a relative of the
Ter is still engaged in business in
K%irksville.
The Journal speaks OF Mr.. Gill in
part as follows:
William Maxwell Gill was born in
came to Missouri about 1857. He
worked on a farm and attended school
when possible until 1859, when he en-
tered the Office of the Kirksville En-
terprise as an apprentice. The Enter
prise was established by E. G. Jones
in 1858, and was the first newspaper
published in Kirksville. Billy" as he
was Familiarity called, worked in the
printing office and attended school al
ternately until the sphing Of 1852, when
liz WeHt W OLtuulWd, H., WdlRl0S the
whole distance. At Ottumwa he Sc
cured a position as foreman of the
Courier, which position he filled to the
satisfaction of his employers for about
a year, when he leased the office. He
conducted the paper as publisher until
the latter part of 1868, when he en-
listed in the 10th Iowa Cavalry and
served until the close of the war.
After being mustered out he return.
ed to Kirksville and purchased an in
terest in the Kirksville Journal, and in
connection with John A. Picker, edit
ed the Journal and conducted u book
store and news stand for a number of
years.
Mr.. Gill was a talented and brilliant
man. What he lacked in early school
ing he made up by reading and study
during the spare moments of his bust
ness life. He made money-and spent
1t. What he lacked was continuity.
He was a kind father and affectionate
husband, beloved by all who knew
him.
