there is consolation in the hope, that it

to the summons, "Child of the Earth,

INTO THE LAND OF HOPE.

'Tis well that we, when trials come,
Can learn to look beyond,
Into the blessed land Of hope,
OF which we are so fond:
For there, the clouds Of life dispense,
And sunshine will appear,
While in the joyous land Of hope,
Our hearts Oft lose their fear,
And revel in some happy dream
That thrills us with delight,
And heavy clouds will pass away,
Meath hopes resplendent light,
And thus the skies Of life will clear,
While brighter dawns the day,
AS we, into the land Of hope
Will find the cheerful way.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY.

GLECIK1CAk ENEKGY.
Philosophers and scientists have dis
cussed the mysteries of creation, God,
existence, life, the soul, thoughts, ideas,
immortality and kindred subjects for
thousands of years, and have arrived at
no rational conclusion in regard to crea.
tion nor that Almighty power which
regulates, governs and controls the uni
verse.
We all know there is power that is
the cause of all the changes, evolution
and activities in the universe, and yet
no rational theory has been advanced
upon which we can ground our faith as
the correct one; in default of which,
mankind has attributed this governing
power, some to spiritual God, some to
a personal God; in fact, to all character
and conditions of God, and these they
have ignorantly worshiped.
We know that antecedent to the ac-
tivities of nature, material and imma-
terial, there is a moving power, for we
see and feel it's effect on every hand.
The effect becomes cause, followed by
effect, and this has been so through all
the ages of the past 1t is this power
which causes the pulse to beat, the heart
to throb, the winds to blow, the stars
to shine, the ocean to roll it's waves, the
earth to yield it's increase, together with
all the evolutions and changes of mind
and matter manifest to our intelligence,
which is still, in this twentieth century,
ascribed to unknown deities about
whom we know as little as we do of
creation.
This energy or motive power is as in
destructible as matter, the same today
as it ever has been. It pervades the
universe, it is in the heavens above, in
the earth beneath, the air we breathe,
the water we drink, the food we eat,
generates within us the vital spark we
call life but our bodies, like any other
material form Of matter, in time, from
physical activity cease, and this we call
death, although the body resolves itself
into it's original elements, and the elec-
trical energy which gave it mental and
physical activity has passed into other
forms of matter.
While we certainly do know some

CONCERNING LEWIS AND CLARK.


Mr.. M. M. Warner, of Lyons, Ne
braska, publisher of the Mirror, writes
in appreciation of The Conservatives
suggestion that local studies be made
along the river to locate Lewis and
Clark's landmarks, and says:
"This is an excellent idea. have To-
Gated every camping place and all their
travels inland along what is now the
boundary Of Burt and Dakota counties,
and have located nearly where the Mis-
souri, river ran at that time. If your
project prevails, I will assist in the en-.
terprise if my services can be utilized.
The enclosed card will go to show how
closely I have traced their route A
piece Of this wood was placed in the
gavel that was used in the National
Convention at Philadelphia. Much in
formation is also given on pages SO and
81 of Warmers History of Dakota
County, Neb."
The card mentioned reads as follows:
"This piece of wood was taken from
cottonwood tree, under whose shade
Lewis and Clark held great council
with several representatives from the
different tribes of Northwestern In
dians, on the afternoon of August 18,
1904, where the aborigines expressed a
willingness to become part of the
government of the United States and
where peace generally was established
between the warning tribes, this being
the first notification of the Louisiana
Purchase. The tree at that time was
about 81 years old, and five years old
when the battle of Bunker Hill was
fought. Under this memorable tree
many of Nebraska's fearless pioneers
have camped as they pitched their tents
upon her wild and primeval prairie.
Here also, Col. j. F. Warner and party
camped for dinner, in the early summer
of 1860 while on their way to the great
republican convention at Chicago,
where COL Warner, as Nebraska's dele
gate, seconded the nomination Of Abra-
ham Lincoln for president, in behalf Of
the choice Of Nebraska's people,"

on every hand, we have nothing on
which to even bottom belief in regard
to creation. All deliverances on this
subject, fathered by ignorance and
mothered by superstition, have been
the blind leading the blind.
The antecedent of every belief is
thought, but to make belief Of any
value we must have faith enough in it
to test it, and try it, in order to ascer.
tain it's truth or falsity. To unverified
beliefs may be attributed much of the
ignorance Of mankind, but after we
have tested, tried and experimental on
belief and found it to be true, then it
becomes knowledge and is of value to
us, but not before.
Some minds are so constituted that
the more absurd a proposition presented
to them is, the more readily they be-
lieve it, having no hesitancy to declare
in the most solemn manner, that laws
can double the intrinsic and exchange.
BILE value of commodities, that Baaram's
ass spoke, that Modonna made of
wood or stone, can wink her eye and
kick up her heels, and do so from the
simple fact that some one had told them
so but these are the unfortunates, for
whom there is neither help nor hope.
The things we know to an absolute
certainty are limited, but we are pro-
crossing and progressing rapidly, and in
no department Of science more than in
electricity; and from what is already
known Of this power and it's possibili-
ties, may we not expect that after
further test, trial and experience, there
will be veri6cation of the truth,
that this power governs, directs and
controls the universe.
The pathway of civilization has been
strewn with failures, by tests, trials and
experiments, in order to ascertain
knowledge in the arts and sciences, in
agriculture and mechanics, in fact in all
the fields of human exertion, in which
something might be formed and fash
ioned for the benefit of mankind.
If we disagree in regard to the gov
erning power of the universe, it does
not follow that we should torture or
murder one another, as the so-called re-
ligious world has done in the past when
they disagreed in regard to some article
of faith or doctrinal dogma that no ra-
tional mind could comprehend.
There are limits to the boundary of
human knowledge, but we have not
reached that boundary in regard to
electrical energy, and will keep on with
further developments no matter how
much the heretofore accepted theories
and opinions of mankind may be dis
turbed and dissipated by the penalties
of knowledge.

The Record Of the Day in the State League Yes
terday Showed Surprise But Raleigh
Still Leads the List With Its
Rail- EnrcaS
Ball Forces.

After great parade, in which music,
gay colors and the pennant for 1901 were
conspicuous, Raleigh played ball yes
terday.
There were perhops 200 present at the
grounds, who cheered heartily as the
pennant was run up on the flag pole in
centre field
These cheered more when Raleigh won
the fourth of the present series and it's
first game with Durham, by a score OF
10 to 2.
1t was not spirited game, for it was
onesided, almost from the jump, for in
the first two innings Raleigh had eight
sruns, one in the first and seven in the
second After this two were captured in
the fifth and no more.
Durham scored but twice, once in the
fourth inning and once in the ninth. 1t
tried and tried, and came near getting in
a few more, but could not do it.
Morris, who started in to pitch for
Durham. was pounded for two hits in
the second inning, gave bases on balls
and hit a batter He was out of it and
aptain Stocksdale took his place, but it
was too late.
With such lead as it had Raleigh left
the Durham lads in despair, and the
game was so evidently a onesided affair
that interest in it was largely lost,
though the many beautiful plays of the
Pennant Winners brought applause, nor
was this lacking when the visiting team
did good work.
Roy, for Raleigh, pitched a magnificent
game. and as he put out the last man,
by running to first with the ball he had
stopped, he won great applause.
There were stars all about in Raleigh's S
team and some Durham players did good
work. but all 10 all, it seemed as if anna
teurs were up against professionals. The
work of the Raleigh team wasJmagnifi-
cent, and only one error was marked
against it yesterday. This was lit
tie one charged against eonard on first,
to whom the ball was thrown very low.

Fl. & B Beers Market Deter.


Especial to News and Observer)

advices were disappointing, consequently
our market opened S to 9 points lower
on old crop months and to points on
new. Fresh buying orders, however,
came in shortly after. causing an i'm
lrovement of 6 to points from the bot
tom About this time the weakness of
spots, the heavy port receipts and the
liberal estimates for New Orleans and
Houston receipts tomorrow brought about
selling which superinduced break of II
to 20 points from the top on old crop op-
tions and to points on new. After the
elimination of stop orders values stead
led slightly, making the net loss of 16
10 20 points on summer positions and
3 to 3 points on new. From present in
dications the amount to be brought into
sight during the week points to about
$1,000 as compared to $4,000 last year and
4& 900 year before last. The visible sup
ply statement is expected to be bullsh.
Still from the character of reports re-
ceived from Lancashire and the conti-
nent it is anticipated that spinners from
now out will curtail consumption of
American considerably owing To the high
prices of the raw article which precludes
their entering into new engagements. 1t
is claimed there is no parity between
the prices goods are being disposed Of
now even with raw cotton bought fdly
a cent under existing rates. Favorable
reports are being received relative to
the next crop but they generally are at
this time of the year. Nevertheless
there are many vicissitudes which the
crop must undergo before maturing
therefore if it meets with any serious
setback the new crop months will ad-
vance sharply. While we advise against
operation on either side in the old crop
months we think the heavy discounts on
the new are an inducement to make pur-
ohases on weak periods as there is only
minimum amount of risk attached to
these transactions.
