A vacant place is in our home
Which by child was filled;
Those little hands l often held
Are now forever stilled.
Those dark and shining ringlets
Now deck pulseless brow,
That angel face we all so loved
Is gone forever now.
She was an angel on our earth,
So in heaven she will rest
Among the favored angels,
Who sit to the right of Christ.
Oh Mary, we shall miss thee,
For tnou we're dear to us,
But as the Savior willed it
We know it should be thus.

OLEO BILL AGREED TO|
Senate Accepts Amendments.
 Butter Trust Tax Fails.
CONFEREES AGREE ON EXCLUSION.
Representative sibIey Crentes a sen- sation In the House by Bitterly Denouncing General Smith,
 Now on Trial at Manila.

"
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-After brief discussion the senate agreed to the house amendments to the oleo bill as passed by the senate. The measure now goes to the president for his sigma ture. An effort was made by MT. Tell CT (Colo.) to amend the measure so as to levy tax of 10 per cent on the cap- ital or assets of any butter trust that might be formed, but it was defeated.
 MT. Simmons (N. @ addressed the senate in opposition to the Philippine government bill. He urged that the Philippines ought to be turned over to the inhabitants of the islands. He de nounced the 'cruelties and barbarities" alleged to have been committed on the Filipinos by the American army and said that he felt "like calling upon the great brave and humane man now in the White House to probe these things to the bottom and at least to make them odious."
 The conferees on the Chinese exclu- sion bill have reached a complete agreement on the bill. 1t strikes out that portion of the senate bill limiting the extension of all existing laws to the life of the present treaty and re-enacts them so far as not inconsistent with treaty obligations until otherwise pro- vided by law and extends the laws to our island territories so far as applica- ble. It allows Chinese to enter for ex- position purposes and retains the pro- visions regarding certifcation in the Philippine Islands.
 Representative Sibley Pa) created something of sensaton in the house during the general debate on the agri- cultural appropriation bill by severely denouncing General Jacob H. Smith for the orders he issued in the SamaT campaign. He declared that General Smith was disgrace to the uniform he wore and expressed the hope that the president would strip him of his uni form within forty-eight hours. Mir Sibley's speech was enthusia stically applauded by the Democrats and was received with some evidences of ap- proval on the Republican side. The speech was considered the more re- markable in that it came from Re publican who left the Democratic par ty or the issues raised by the Spanish war and who since has been an ardent expansionist. MT. Williams Oem.. Miss) indorsed what MT. Sibley had said
 Upon the conclusion of the general debate slow progress was made with the bill, only twenty-five of the forty nine pages being disposed of

RELIEF FOR BALDWIN
Auxiliary Expedition to Start
 Soon For Far North.
NOTED ARCTIC EXPLORERS IN CHARGE
Pole Seeker Baldwin Now Supposed te Be Pressing Northward and Expected to Reach High1
 est Point In June.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Plans for the auxiliary Baldwin-Ziegler expedition to northern polar regions have been com pleted, and the men who have been in trusted with its direction and manage ment will shortly leave for Europe. The steamer Frithjof, which, with the America, conveyed the Baldwin party to Franz Josef Land, has been charter ed for the work and will depart from Tromso on July l. The auxiliary ex- petition will be in charge of w. S. Champ, secretary to William Ziegler, who will sail for Europe on the steam ship Cymric on May g, and the re- mainder of the party will leave on the steamship Pretoria on June g.
 MT. Champ and all of his assistants have had experience in the arctic re- gions, and their special fitness for the work before them was the test in their selection. The Frithjof is now in dry dock being made ready for the northern cruise. She will again be commanded by Captain Kjeldsen, whose work in the arctics has been conspicuous.
 The Frithjof will go from Tromso to Camp Ziegler, on Alger island, which is fin SOFA north, and there secure the last instructions left by Baldwin. It is be- heved here that Baldwin has worked Co the northward of Alger island and that the America is fast in the ice. When the America is found, an effort will be made to refill her bunkerS with coal and work her out of the ice pack. It is thought that Baldwin used the America for winter headquarters and worked north with sledges, establishing caches preparatory for the dash to the pole Baldwin's associates here are of the opinion that Baldwin began his northern movement for the pole about the middle of February and that he will reach the highest point about the middle of June, and the Frithjof expe- dition is timed to meet him.
 Baldwin has always believed that he would find drift that would take him out by way of Greenland, but his asso- ciates are of the opinion that his return will be across the ice toward Franz Josef Land. MT. Champs plan after releasing the America will be to estab- fish a patrol with the hope of picking up the Baldwin party. It is planned to cover a stretch of 150 miles east and west across the route most likely to be taken by Baldwin. It is thought that the patrol can be kept up without dan- ger of imprisoning the America and Frithjof until Sept. l.
 If Baldwin is not found by that time or is not reported from other sources, party of six men will be left in a win ter camp to be established on the west -voast of Franz Josef Land for the pur- pose of patrolling that coast.

WATERTOWN JOTTINGS
Twenty-Five Pupils Who Refuse to Be
 Vaccinated Absent from School.


 The Democrat correspondent inter- viewed Principal Working of the Gen. ter school last evening in regard to the order compelling pupils to be vaccin- ated. MT Working says there are twen- ty-nye pupils in the school who refuse 10 De yaccinated. The principals re- port to the state board was forwarded thls morning, and it is more than like. " that the parents of these twenty-five pupils who have not been yaccinated will probably hear something drop within the next few days It seems strange that people are so stubborn when asked to comply with this req. sonable order on the part of the au thorities. In almost every civilized country in the world at the present tlme vaccination is national law and there Is no question as to whether if Is eHectual as preventive or not The law says that children under a certain age shall be yaccinated and ends if The time is probably near at hand when the United States will make this same law. As the best medical au- thorlties of to-day affirm that in conn., tries where vaccination has been in, sisted on for a number of years tba populatlon are practically immune from the disease. There is no use of being stubborn in this matter. If tha authorities say school children must he Facclnated that order goes and narentx can't prevent it.
 Ihere Is considerable talk among tha various organizations which were fn the Held with entertainments when tha authorities shut down on public gath- erlngs. The first one which was stopped was the Good Will Social clnb dance. Then came the firemen,s racen- ton and the benefit for Henry St George. The Ladies' Aid societv had the hall hired for May '. and thai or. ganlzation claims that if the ouaran tlf1e order is removed previous to that date It should be permitted to hold ina entertainment as advertised. The Good VIII Social club say that the hall was engaged for a dance by them ahead of the Ladies' Aid society and that they nave right to hold their entertain ment first. The committee in charge of the benefit probably feel the same way Just how the selectmen will smooth things over it is hard to say: but from what we know of Mir Lockwood wa are willing to bet that he will straioh+- en out the tangle to the satisfaction of everybody
