o friends, o loving friends, when we behold
The creep in the roses blushng breast
To dim the splendor of that heart of gold
And fade the crimson of its couch OF rest
oh, pluck the while yet a dewy flower,
And let it fade with all its perfume left,
Lest in some cruel angushed afterhour
When wringing hands through gardens all bereft
We beat your breast and, useless weeping, say :--
"Why left we thus the rose TO worm blight sere
Just for the selfish pleasure of day,
To shadow with regretting all the Year,"

When bird half blinded can no more behold
His tiny dancing figure in the glass
To raise his dainty collars rufhed gold
And fight the image of himself, alas
He not sing so, saddened, moping, elings
Through weary days from rightful Joys apart,
With aimless feet and faded dropping wings,
condemnation to his eaptor's heart
Then fold him gently in your loving hands,
Like natures bosom when she gives rest
Stroke his soft plumage, wondrous shining bands,
And give him freedom; dead, he gave his best.

Watt out gently from the glad worlds throng,

BOND FIXED FOR LOWE.
Reform School Wife Killer May
Get Out on 1000.

Greatly to the surprise of all the at
torneys in the case, the prisoner himself
and the public in general. Justice Tay-
Tor T. Wright, OF Soldier Township. who
was presiding at the preliminary hear
ing of John c. Lowe. charged with the
murder of his wife, fixed a bond for the
accused. The attorneys for the defense
did not ask for bond, as their defense
IN district court will in all proba bility
be insanity, and Judge Magaw. who is
assisting in the defense has stated that
they consider their client dangerous to
himself and liable to commit suicide il
allowed to run at large
When Justice Wright finished a long
talk by stating that he would set Lows
bend at 5000, the prisoner, who had
paid very little attention to the case,
said that he did not want q bond. The
case IS without precedent.
Lowe can easily raise bond OF IS, geo.
At present his attorneys will not admit
that they intend to take advantage of
the chance to get him out Of jail. but it is
long ttue between now and Noven-
Der.

MAJOR HARVEY GOT Up.
An Amusing Episode Between Two
Well Known LAWYERS

The lawyers in Topeka are having
good deal of fun at the expense of Ma
jor A. NJ Harvey and Harry Larimer
1t all happened in this wise
Major Harvey has been guaranteed
from his home on account of scarlet
fever in the family Harry LaFimer
wished to act the good Samaritan and
he invited Harvey to stay with him
during his Punishment. The first night
the Populist ex-lieutenant governor and
the well known prohibition Republican
tried to sleep together there was trou-
BILE They retired to sleep together. In
made strange bed fellows. The con-
versation drifted around to General
Miles. Larimer, ike the famous 3'Bilr'
in The Sky Pilot" took the side against
Miles and cherished the opinion" that
the general was all talk and no SOL
der On the other hand Harvey who
was in the Cuban war as major,
cherished the opinion" that Miles il a
good fighter and an excellent general
The discussion was heated for some
time but finally the two men fell
asleep.
They must have dreamed about Miles
for later they woke up along in the
middle OF the night and the controversy
opinion that Miles was poor stun Har-
yey was sleepy and thought he would
pacify Larimer. He did do one mean
thing" said Harvey. when he put Jefx
DAVIS IN IRONS
That's the only good thing he ever
did" shouted Larimer sitting I'D in
bed
The discussion then was hot and
heavy Some members of the family in
the house heard it and told the two
boys to go to sleep" They would not.
Larimer was Wrathy, SO Wrathy that
he finally told Harvey that he would
not let a man sleep in his bed with him
who thought that Miles did wrong in
putting Davis in irons
But I'm your guest and I will stay
here I'm not going to get up in the
middle OF the night" said Harvey
Larimer was angry and he insisted
that he would not share his couch with
such an arch villain as Harvey. The
outcome was that Harvey had to get up
and dress and leave the house early in
the morning. Larimer was left to sleep
alone with his ideas as to the right OF
Miles to put Davis in irons The story
leaked out and Wednesday afternoon

STOPPED THE FUNERAL.
A Non-Union Man Was Found Driv-
ing One of the Hacks.

San Francisco, July 3--That the local
hackmen's union Is determined that only
initiated members shall be employed
was evidenced yesterday by the IN
usual spectacle of a funeral procession
being stopped in front of the Hall of
Justice, when every driver disu1ounted
from his seat and refused to proceed
because il had been reported that there
was a non-union man among them The
men were employees of G. Marini. from
whose stable the hacks were furnished
An Italian by the name of Francis
Ceaugno had been placed as driver on
one of the hacks before a drivers card
had been issued to him by the local
union He was forced to diSnount and
after the owner OF the carriage had been
installed the procession continued on to

Topeka City Council Again De-
cides to Retrench.

An important meeting Of the ways and
means committee Of the city council |
was held last night Steps were taken
to unite the council in definite pro-
gramme of retrenehment IN the current |
expenses Of the city. which now ex-
coed the receipts It Is also probable
that an addition VIII be made to the
tax levy for the interest and sinking
fund. which is at present not sufncfent
Preparatory to establishing the city
on firm financial basis, the committee
instructed City Clerk Squires to pre-
pare statement showing the expedi-
lures OF each department OF the city
for each of the past three years The
committee will go over this statement
carefully and fix limit on the funds
to be used by each department. In this
way IT il believed that the extravagance
which has characterized some Of the de-
partments can be stopped
No increase in the tax levy for cur
already at the limit The laws provide
that mills may be levied for the gem
eral revenue funds and mills more
for the general Improvement funds.
This levy brings In about s12e,ooo e
year. and the city uses it all and needs
more As there is no more to be had.
the only thing to do is to retreneh-
Individually the councilmen are all IN
favor of this plan, but when they get
into council meeting and political con-
siderationS begin to have their effect,
it is very hard to carry out q pro-
gramme of economy
The council has been trying to be
economical. but it has not succeeded
very well. 1t passed resolution against
paving, but the final vote on the resolu-
ton was not taken until all the petit
lions which were under consideration
had been presented and acted upon IL
passed a resolution against placing any
more electric lights, but not until the
superintendent of the electric light plant
declared that his machinery would not
stand any more demands for lights The
council has also undertaken several ex-
pensive contracts, which no doubt were
important, but which drained the treas
ury- Among other places where large
sums of general funds have been spent
or are likely to be spent might be men,
TONED the city park sewer, the placing

city. the purchase of aerial truck. the
proposed repairs of the Sixth street VIA

positions, repairs in the city hall and
Auditorium Each of these expendi-
| to several thousand dollars apiece
1t is the purpose of the ways and
means committee to try to sift the pro
| posed expenditures and determine which
| are absolutely essential to the welfare
| of the city.
| As starter on the economical plan,
| the ways and means committee last
night decided that it would pigeonhoie
