TAMPERING WITH TRIFLFS
WOOD VIoLETs.


Like purple curtains hangs the night, 4
No stars no moon,
Do pierce the darkness with their light;
My soul, a-swoon,
Doth swing alone in rayess space
And knows nor needs a resting place,
No strength no wish way to trace
1t asks no boon.
Somewhere, enwrapped in deeper gloom
And dewy wet,
flower watts faint perfume
Wood violet
And on its night-born purple bed
NV soul dreams dreams, of dreams Ions a.,
And days which, though they long are dead
1t won't forget.
or days, and nights, and buds, and dew,
1t dreams again;
or ripping laughs, and sighs and you,
And then, and then
The perfume wraps it fold on fold
And in its nectar growing bold,
1t wings affair, DER heath and void,
To you again.
And by that token, then, know
Your gentle breast
Doth feel this pcnt-up longin's flow,
And my unrest
Doth lure your soul through night afar
1t needs no light guiding star
And, wrapped in night, our two souls are
AT last at rest

Perhaps, after all, we may let Teddy have the o,S

If Rockefeller is really poet, as Triggs assert, \
must be a fact that money sings we'll as talks

Let oysters flap their wings at us

We have no cash to spare for them,
We're saving it for spuds.

There was difference OF opinion regarding the
manner In which the hide duty should be abolished
Congressman Burk. OF this city made a long
speech. in which he advocated that il should be
done through reciprocity treaties He quoted
President Mckinley's words at Buffalo 10 the
effect that all unnecessary duties imported ar
ticles should be removed, and concluded by say
ing:
We need the hides Of South American countries
and We need them free OF this unnecessary duty,
but II can induce South American countries 10
admit free certain American goods in consideration
OF removing the hide duty, don't you think We
would have done much IN the interest of American
rrade2
President schieren ssid he favored reciprocity in
all lines OF trade but negotiations for reciprocity
with South American countries have not been salts
factory in the past. We have means now Of
knowing how much success may attend the move
ment for reciprocity with certain South American
countries he said. Il regard this an unjust
tax on hides and ] favor fits abolition as soon as
il can be accomplished. and think the country Is
behind ia demanding IT.
s. w Campbell. OF Chicago, said that President
Mckinley and Congressman Dingiey did not want
q duty placed hides, and added that was In

certain Western packing interests

MALONEY'S WEDDING
Seats now on sale, at ALIENS
Emancipation Celebration.

The colored people had windy day,
Monday, for their celebration. But
they enjoyed themselves just the same.
Epperson's Military Band led the
procession on the main streets. Dock
Lewis was marshal of the day. and
he did the honors in graceful man
ner. The procession was long, reach-
ing almost four blocks. The alters
noon was spent with speaking and
music in the park, base ball game
and social in heoevening.
The program as arranged on the
bills was carried out. The procession
wound up at the west entrance to the
park where the. speaking took place.
Judge Elrick G. Cole of this city made
the Welcoming address. and Hon. W
w. Fisher, Of Topeka made the speech
of the day. Many compliments were
passed upon MIR. Fishers address, and
it seemed to give much more general
satisfaction than the speaker OF a year
ago.
voices rendered some splendid songs al
appropriate intervals. The chorus
was composed Of Kittie Scott, john
Calmore, Ed Rucker, Rob Calmore
Rhoda L. Perry, Eliza Psrry, Emma
Johnson. Jamie Erwin, Neal Erwin and
Levi Calmore, all Great Bend people.
There were large numbers in attend
ance. from neighboring towns and
counties. and it is estimated that there
were upwards of thousand colored
people participating in the celebration.
A collection to defray the expenses of
band, decorations etc.. was taken ur,
amounting to ss7 65. Tie young men
who had the celebration in charge are
deserving of praise for the successful
manner in which it was pulled eff.
