"The Fiddler of Gmund"


Father Bradley. Catholic priest and
chancellor of the diocese of Lincoln,
has written a little book of poems,
published by the South Platte Publish
ing Co. Of this city. 1.-The Fiddler of
Gmund" is a legend told in rhymed
couplets of a fiddler who played be-
fore the statue of st. Cecilia. The
musician was penniless and hungry,
and he played a prayer for help to the
saint.
Smiling sweetly down she stoops.
Starting out of stony calm:
From her foot the gold unloops,
Throws 1t to the son of song"
When the citizens who have set the
statue in the shrine and dressed the
saint in a silver mantle and clothed her
beautiful feet in golden shoes, found
the tramp with one of the golden shoes,
they Immediately concluded that he
had stolen it. On the way to the gal
lows. for stealing was a capital crime
in the middle ages, the procession
passed the shrine where the saint still
beamed beneficent. The fiddler asked
permission to play before her again
and the headsman consented. If the

Mormon Missionaries

Mormon Missionaries
There have been, and perhaps they
are still canvassing the city, Mormon
missionaries who are distributing their
tracts fom door to door. They go to
the back doors of the dwelling houses,
leave tracts with the maids and in a
day or two return and argue their
creed. 1t is in this way that the prop
agation of this most superstitious AMI
immoral religion is carried on. The mis-
sionaries are men Of pleasing address.
They sympathize with the lives of the
maids and endeavor to convert them
to Mormonism. We are not Boxers
and can not use their methods. These
men do more harm that the slot ma
chimes. but we can not remove them.
The Mormon church looks forward to
a time when their converts viii be
spread .over the land. They can not
have any influence with educated wo-
men, but among the ignorant. ingenu-
Gus hordes of Europe at work I'm the
kitchens. the missionaries are making
progress. II they came to the front
door the mistress would inquire of the
doorkeeper their errand. but they go
to the rear door and the maid who
answers their knock has just learned
the English language. Mormon means
M v,,orsa IN hor than Aafbodist or RAM
tist. He explains that he is a Christ
ian. and she thinks il is some lover of
humanity seeking souls who has found
out her loneliness. Her heart is soft
prejudice against the nefarious doc
trine, the poor girl is sometimes a pitt
fully easy victim. II she has lived
long enough in this country to have
the habit of the American Bible. the
newspaper, she knows something about
the sect and snubs its apostle as he
deserves.
In spite of the Objectionable religion
spite Of his sneaking methods. there is
nothing we can do to put him out or
keep him out of the community. A lie
can not prevail, however it may seem
to be spreading. There is really no
danger Of the triumph of the Mormon
church so long as the very imperfect
and poorly adjusted system of public
education continues. And il it i'm
proves there is still less reason to be
troubled on this account. In earlier
days. not so very long ago in Nebras-

SHORT SESSION.
Cuban Relations Committee Hears
but Few Witnesses.

Washington. May 30.-Congressman
Broussard today continued his testimony
before the Sub-cOm mittee of the senate on
Cuban relations. He said that the sources
of his information as to American invest
ments in Cuba were confidential, but that
it was common talk in Havana that large
investments had been made there. In
support of his contention that the Ameri-
can sugar refiners would secure practl-
cany all the benefit of the proposed re-
duction of tariff on Cuban sugar, the
witness said that Louisiana sugar would
be used to force down the price on Gu
ban sugar and Cuban sugar TO force
down the price on Louisiana sugar.
Victor s. Clark. who spent three months
in Cuba at the beginning of the present
year in the interest of the bureau of la
Dor, was next called, but he was not eX-
amined at length. Senator Teller attempt
ed to enter upon course of inquiry with
this witness to develop the condition of
labor in Cuba, but Senator PIatt objected
on the ground that the labor problem
was not included in the resolution under
which the present investigation is being
made.
With reference to American holdings
in Cuba, Mr.. Clark said that his in
formation is that there are thirty or forty
plantations in Cuba owned by Americans.
When Mr.. Clark was excused Senator
Platt announced that he hoped to be able
to call the full committee together at
an early date to consider the house bill,
but that he was not yet prepared to an
nounce the exact date.
The committee then adjourned for the
day.

RUSHING TO AMERICA.
immigration This Month is Over
$4,000 Persons.

New York, May 3O.-Immigration is
now at the highest point in the history
of the country, and the average Of the
class of people coming here is regarded
by some of the officials as the lowest.
Counting the immigrants on board
steamships due to arrive today and to-
morrow, the immigration for the month
will reach the record breaking total of
IS. 500 In May of 1893, the previous
record-breaking month, $1,000 people
came into the country in the steerage of
the Atlantic liners.
The bulk of the immigrants are from
southern and southeastern Europe.
immigration from Ireland, Germany,
Norway, Sweden and Denmark, has
fallen off greatly. In former years i'm
migrants from these countries predom-
mated. Seventy per cent of the immi-
grants now coming in are from Russia,
Austria. Hungary and Italy. Most of
these are non producers.
The immigration authorities say that
great rush Of aliens is due to the COM
mercial prosperity of this country and
Industrial stagnation in nearly every
European country.

COLE IS HOARSE.
1t Isn't All Fun to Be Chair
man of Convention.

State Auditor George E. Cole, who
was chairman of the Wichita conven-
ton, came home last night on the Rock
Island, which was three hours late. Al
though this was Mem orial day he spent
a. short time in his Office this morning,
catching up with his work lie IS SO
hoarse that ne can scarcely speak
above a whisper, but his voice did not
give out until after the convention.
Re noticed it was getting husky at
supper time Wednesday evening, said
Mr.. Cole, but 1 fortified myself with
some lemons which I took to the con-
vention hall with me, and with the aid
of these my voice pulled through.
The convention was hard on voices.
Three reading clerks gave out and had
to quit. There was such a din much of
the time, in spite of the fact that a
dozen or more rgeants-at-arms were
trying to preserve order. that it was inn
possible for speaker to be heard.
W. J. Bailey and Cyrus Leland both
came up from Wichita last night but
both left early this morning, Mr.. Bailey
going to his farm at BaileyVllle, and
Mr.. Leland to Troy to attend the Me-
mortal exercises there.
Governor Stanley is delivering a Me-
mortal address at the unwilling of a

Assistant Attorney General West is

T. l. Dayhoff, the successful candidate
for superintendent of public instruction,
collapsed Immediately after he was
nominated about 11.30 Wednesday
night. He had been a strain for days.
and the nervous tension reached a
climax when he heard of his nomina-
ton. His friends had to take him to
his room at the hotel.
It is claimed that c. H. Luling owes
his nomination as superintendent of in
surance to the fact that he sacrificed
H. J. Bone for attorney general Sedg-
wick county could have nominated
Bone if Luling had permitted it, but in
stead he divided his vote and this
caused some delegates who would other
wise have been for Bone to waver-
Senator Burton is already on his way
back to Washington. He went right on
east last evening.

COVERED WITH ASHES.
Peculiar Experience of a Steamer 10Y
Miles From Martinique.

New Orleans. La, May 30-The British
steamer Louisiana of the West India
line, has arrived here from Trinidad
and Colon. Captain Edwards reports
that the vessel passed through the
storm of ashes precipitated by Mount
Pelee, the Louisiana being covered sew
eral inches deep by them
They were first observed on the after
noon Of May Z, when the vessel was be-
tween Barbados and Trinidad. The
sky began to darken by degrees and at
a distance a big black pail was seen
slowly mounting into the heavens and
this f0rbidding, gloomy bank of far
away clouds was rent and illumined by
constant and vivid flashes of lightning.
The storm gained rapidly on the ship.
AT p. m. the atmosphere was so thick
it seemed as if night had set in Cap
tain Edwards took an observation of
latitude and longitude and found that
he was about 107 miles from Martinique.

Burglar.

New York. May sO.-Detective Sweet for

tempting to rob a Second avenue store.

AWAY FROM WAR TAX.
England Talks of Switching Corn
Registration Duty.

New York. May 3O.-A proposal that
the corn registration duty shall be con-
verted from a war tax into an educa-
tional fund has found favor on the
unionist side, says a London dispatch to
the Tribune. If this policy should be
adopted the cost of education will be
made a charge upon the national ex-
chequer and local taxpayers viii be ma
teriaIly relieved. The members of par
lament advocating this change preserve
the advantage of taxing bread for the
sake of educating the masses, since the
working people would have less cause
for complaint and the Liberal agitation
would be checked The protectionists
do not disguise the fact that they wish
to make the corn duty a permanent tax,
and to increase it as time goes on, and
they prefer to dispel the illusion at the
outset that is it a temporary war tax.
