! FROM IRELAND ]
Is II Timer


1.-The following poem refers to the
old legend of the council chamber Of
Aileach, where the warriors, fully
armed, sleep their magical sleep, wait
ing for the Voice which shall call thepl
to take their part in the struggle for
Irelands freedom. At intervals they
wake to cry-"Is it time?"]
They are sleeping, those stately war;
riors,
In their chamber of silent stone;
Those chiefs who were wise in council,
Or had won in the field renown.
They have slept for unnumbered ages,
And at intervals wake to ask
OF the silent, sorrowful Genius
rs it time to begin our task?"
'Not yet,' is the mournful answer,
"Shall your swords from their scab-
bards leap''-
So they fold them again in slumber
That is marvellous, strange, and
deep
Not yet, o medieval warriors,
May We break from your silent
tomb;
Nhe dawn is not yet breaking
The hour it has not yet come.
They are sleeping-perchance are
dreaming
OF the day that shall break ere
long
The day that our martyrs prayed for
That our bards have foretold in
When did they last awaken?-
Perchance twas in Ninety-eight-
But that was not the dawn in Free
dom,
That was not the hour of fate!
We know not their names or titles
Who have slumbered for years un-
told,
But we know they are only waiting
For the day by the seer foretold-
When Erin's long night of sorrow
Shall pass like dream away
Be lost in the roseate splendor
Which heralds the perfect day.
They are sleeping, those ancient war
riors,
But what of the men today?
They are ready, those mighty heroes
But the living ones who shall say
Will they spring to their feet as
quickly
With the rattle of sword and spear
When the Voice that shall wake the
sleepers
Proclaim that the Hour is here!
The Day it is drawing nearer
The Hour it is drawing nigh,
By the spirits of those who perished
On the field and the scaffold high,
For Erin the dawn is breaking
On the night Of dark wrong and
crime,
"Is it time?" ask the ancient sleepers-
Aye, Irishmen, it is time!
1t is time that our wrongs were
righted-
1t is time that our land was free
Not a tardy and small concession,
But absolute Liberty.
Lo! the warriors Of old are waking
With the rattle of sword and spear
Must they wait Of the living heroes
No! for the Men and Hour are here!

Sheriff Sued for So. 900

The suit of Chas. Mcintyre against
Sheriff Harmon Hobart and his depu-
ties, w. j. Conley and Lutte Hutton.
for So, 900 was called in district court
Tuesday afternoon.
Among the admitted facts are these,
that Mcintyre was arrested in 1900 and
lodged in jail for eighteen hours. He
was supposed to be Fred Mcintyre,
wanted in Johnson county for horse
stealing. While in Jail here word
came that Fred, Charley's brother,
was caught and he was turned loose.
Now he wants damages.
He says he came to town in a buggy,
leading several horses. After some
time w. j. Conley met and arrested
him. He denied being Fred Mcintyre
but agreed to accompany Conley home
for the night not knowing that Con-
ley lived at. the Jail. He was locked
in the women's cell over night, but
next day fed with the other prisoners,
who promptly kangarooed him. He
says Conley swore at him, which he
interpreted as a sign of ill-will, al.
though the defense will contend that
this was an evidence of good fellow.

AT the time OF the affair Hobart was

Can't Tell About a Jury.

Judge Samuel Davis, of Marshall,
Missouri, who presided at the trial of
Will Prince, told story yesterday to
group of lawyers in the prosecuting
attorney Office about the first murder
case he ever helped try.

After we got our jury [ looked it over

After woman passes fifty, when she

mirth in her stomach as in her face.
In many fami les, they don't have
milk for breakfast, but have, instead,
the top of the milk.
In the minds of some people, it is
discreditable if you have any sense.
When Church White heard that his
daughter had married a preacher, he
said: 'Well IhOpe the Lord will call
him where they hang up the biggest
purse"
Every thief should have a family;
it would;do them good with the jury
to state that he stole to feed his starv-
ing wife and babes.
We suppose the slang, "Cut that
out" must have originated with
doctor, who wants to cut out about
every thing he sees.

Verdict for S65

The jury in the insurance suit of
Geo. A. Ward against the Farm ers'
Alliance Insurance Company rather
surprised the public by a decision
reached early Wednesday. The jury
was out until 1:30 and after seeming
hopelessly hung a compromise was
reached, S65 being awarded Mr.. Ward
in his suit for $500.
AS near as the REGISTER can learn
the decision is one for the company
The jury decided that the valuation
of $675 put on the barn by Mr.. Ward
was excessive. The jury declined to
pass on the question as to how the
barn was burned. 1t eliminated the
barn wholly from it's consideration
The S65 was given as fair price foi

DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
Chairmen of County Committees Will
Meet in St. Paul.

Chairman James Martin of the Re-
publican state executive committee
began Thursday last the conferences
with the chairmen of the county COM
mittees. Heretofore the chairmen of
county committees have been called
together at one time. This year, how
ever, the committeeman will be called
together by congressional districts.
Less attention will be paid to reports
of conditions than heretofore, and
more to outlining the work to be done
in the campaign.
The plan is to have the Republican
organization reach every voting pre-
cinct in the state, and to have ar
rangements perfected so that every
Republican voter in each precinct will
be registered and go to the polls.
The committeeman of the first con-
gressional district will meet with
Chairman Martin tomorrow. The
meeting will occupy the entire day.
The second congressional district con-
ference will be held Thursday. and the
third Friday. Next week the other
districts will be called.
Another set Of conferences will
probably be held later in the campaign
to dispose Of the problems that may
arise during the next two weeks.
As there will not be more than q
dozen committeeman at any conference
the new plan will make it possible for
the executive committeeman to be-
come much better acquainted with the
,hairmen of the county committees
than under the old plan, when the
chairmen were called to-
gether at one time. Paul Pioneer

POTATOES PLENTIFUL.
Pleasant Weather Brings Them In,
and Prices Are Low

oiu 1.-TWO HtC LuWs-
If the householder has to paw con-.
siderably more than usual for fuel
this fall, he saves the difference in
the price he pays for his potatoes and
apples. Last year potatoes were
bringing seventy-6ve cents to dollar
bushel and more, and apples So 90
to 81 barrel. This year the potato
crop is large one, and the price on
the street ranges from twenty to
twenty-five cents bushel, according
to variety and quality. Potatoes have
been coming in quite plentifully dur
ing tie last few pleasant days. The
tubers are larger than usual 1t is
claimed that those raised on sandy
soil will keep the best, and that those
raised in low or wet ground are liable
to rot. Every body offering potatoes for
sale on the street claims that they
were raised in sandy soil.
Owing to the low prices prevailing,
many of the farmers have banked
their crop, expecting to realize better
from it in the spring.
Apples are expected to be a dollar
barrel cheaper than last fall.

that decision had been reached to
double the train service to Des
Moines, and that, commencing Oct 10,
Sunday, through night service be-
tween st. Paul and Des Moines would

Black Hills was inaugurated last sum-
mer in connection with the. North
western, but the necessary equipment
could not be secured.
Standard Pullman sleeping ears and
free reclining chair cars will be used.
The train will leave st. Paul at 8
O'Clock in the evening. Returning

in the evening arriving in st. Paul at
8:15 the next morning and in Mime
apolis half hour later. The day
trains will be continued in service as
at present.
