Down on the Prairies.

How still the prairies lie at early dawn
These rolling landscapes of unbroken
sod.
Ere yet the shadows of the night are
gone
These pillows stiffened by the voice
of God
Seem now to hold dim ages as in pawn;
To witness his prophetic ruling rod:
That earth's wide turmoil here at last
shall cease
And mans rebellious heart be awed to
peace.
The wind moves slow. as if it would
The million blades of grass that ra-
diant wear
Gnmounted jewels of the dew. nor shake
The clustering blooms within the or
chards fair.
Nor fret the surface of the shallow lake.
Nor vex the vast sweet silence of the
air.
That he who seeks the sinless morning S
May feel the soothing of the prairie $
balm
How soft the light falls on the gracious
scenei
Field after field. in green and sold
array.
Rises distinct; the anchored clouds are
To glide. stately fleet, upon their
way,
While fiuting low within their coverts
green
The songbirds seem to dream of COM
ing day;
And all the sweep of clearing sky and
land
To love and faith mans spirit doth
command

Jea1ously nerved Victor Roland
O'Shea to kill his young wife at the
home of her parents in Chicago last
week and attempt to take his own
life after a vain effort to shoot her
mother. The tragedy brought to light
the fact of a secret marriage over a
year ago and a growing disposition
on the part of the wife to repent of
her choice.
A courtship- extending over year
eliminated July 2, 1y01, in the mar
riage of young O'Shea and Miss Anne
liza M. Hogenson at Waukegan with
out~the knowledge of their parents
The young couple returned to chi
cago and went to their respective
homes, intending to keep the fac.
of their marriage until they could
gain the sanction of their parents,
but through the misplacing of some
papers by the young man his mother,
Mrs. Patrick j. O'Shea, discovered all
Sept. z, 1901.
Then began the unhappiness of the
young couple. The brides father OBJ
jected to the union because of the
youth of OShea, WHO is %, and be-
cause he was not in a position to
provide for his wife. The young

Young O'Shea went to the home of
the Hogensons and asked to see
Amelia, saying to her mother that
he was about to depart for Mexico
and desired a last word with her
The young woman stepped into the
outer hall and closed the door behind
her In few moments Mrs. Hogen-
son heard the report of revolver
and a faint scream. Running to the
hall door she opened it and saw her
daughter lying on the floor and the
young man sitting beside her, re-

Selling chair near at hand, Mrs.
Hogenson struck O'Shea over the
head as he pointed the revolver at
her. telling him to the floor As he
fell he turned the revolver against

years old His first and greatest
strike was the Independence mine, in
the center of the present Cripple
Creek field. 1t made him many times
a millionaire, and was ultimately sold
by him to an English syndicate for,
$11 900, 900.
Stratton was an eccentric character
in many respects, and had his. own
ideas about using his money While
indulging in the freaks a rich man
can afford he did not like the idea of
having idle surplus on his hands, SO
he made many investments in Colo
RADIO real estate, and many of the best
corners in Cripple Creek and Colorado
Springs belong to Stratton.
Personally Stratton was of simple
tastes and habits, with a marked dis
like for notoriety and publicity. His
charitable deeds have been many, and
most of them have been marked by
good judgment. He redeemed the Ia
Dor properties for the widow of SeDa-
tor Tabor in gratitude for kindness
shown him when he was poor, and all
who displayed unselfish goodness to-
ward him in his days of poverty have
had no occasion to regret it.
No one knows what his fortune is.

bride. FAREWELL"
But your plan-what is II? How
can you win your fathers consent?
Tell me what you intend to do?"
You shall know Wednesday, Until
then live in hopes, and above all,
conquer your foe" And she was gone.
The Plaza de Toros was crowded
for to-day the attraction was doubled; /;
besides their favorite matador, Jose
Narvezzo, they were to have the
famous bull Devileto. who had already
killed seven men and many horses.
The sport promised to be bloody, yet
women and young girls were there
in holiday attire, casting from behind
their fans coquettish glances to the
men, laughing, smiling, happy as
though they were here at an ordinary
entertainment, not spectacle in
which blood would flow and perhaps
where human life would be destroyed.
They would in an instant be as ready
to cheer the victorious bull as the
matador, who would remain their
favorite as long as he remained un-
conquered.
The blaring of trumpets announced
that the spectacle would soon begin.
the picadors and banderilleros in their
resplendent costumes on those proud
horses which, before long, would lie
dead on the sand of the arena, and
the matador, more handsome, more
calm than ever, made their appearance
and paraded around the arena The
show had begun.
Jose looked eagerly toward the gov
ernor's seat He was there, but alone
Fontella was not with him. A feel
ing of disappointment came to him.
This was followed by a doubt which
paled his cheek. Had she duped him.
had she played a comedy for the sake
of having him, the unconquered, at
her feet? But this thought, instead OF
weakening his courage. caused him to
straighten his tall form; he would
show her that he was a man who
could be victorious in spite of all.
Those who watched his face at that
moment murmured:
"Narvezzo will conquer; such a look
of resolution never courts failure"
When the bull entered it was easy to
see that the stories told of his vicious
temper had not been overestimated-
He was a beautiful animal. jet black
in color with long, sharp horns and
eyes that burned like Goals, his heav-
ing fanks, switching tail and the
manner in which he scattered the sand
with his paw showed that he was used
to this display and that he was only
too ready to do his part

sand, torn open by those terrihss
horns One picador was dead; blO,d
was everywhere. Still the fans in
women's hands went backward and
forward in lazy indolenee, while eyes
which seemed to have been made only
for tenderness gazed with evident sat
isfaction upon the CORY scene.
At last the matador entered Jose
NarveZzo never appeared SO calm, so
proudly Indifferent as to-day In his
right hand he held the sword. with
which he was to slay the now mad
dened bull. For an instant they stood
face to face, the man and the beast.
Then, with below of rage, the ami
NAL charged his new enemy. Jose
did not move his sword was ready;
Just as the bull came up to him he
raised the weapon, but it fell on one
CT the horns and broke itself in two.
He has lost, the bull has won!'
rose on every side.
But no, he had not lost! In one
leap he had jumped to one side, the
bull charged on, burying his horns in
the sand a little distance away This
gave Jose time to take a sword which
one of the men handed him, and
when once more the baffied bull turned
upon him with renewed fury he was
ready, sword in hand, a smile of de
fance on his lips, a strange express
sion in the eyes. This time the sword
did it's work, for as the bull rushed
upon him the second time he plunged
it to the hilt into the quivering flesh.
The animal gave one howl of rage and
pain. then fell rolling to the ground.
The man had conquered the beast !;
the spectacle of blood was at an enc.
The crowd, mad with enthusiasm,
cheered the conqueror; women cried
as they cast their rings or jewels into
the ring; men threw money. The
matador was reaping his golden har
vest. Suddenly a deep hush followed
the clamor. All eyes turned in one
direction toward the door which ad-
mitted the performers into the ring.
Jose, surprised by the silence, turned
also, and could scarcely retain an ex-
clamation as he saw Fontella coming
toward him, picking her way amid the
dead horses.
When she got up to him she paused
and in tones which rang clear and loud
in the silence said:
''Jose Narvezzo, you have conquered
to-day the fiercest bull in Spain.
Others have cast their tributes of gold
at your feet; | bring you mine. Here
is my hand; take it if you want it.
I am yours for life"
The scandal was great The gov
ernor was furious. but Fontella had
won. After that scene at the bull fight
it was impossible for him to refuse his
consent, so some two months later

AN IDEAL AMERICAN CITY.
Peaceful Life Led by Inhabitants of
Mount Cory.

Ten miles southwest of Findlay,
Ohio, lies the peaceful hamlet of
Mount Cory. 1t is a model utopia of
righteousness, according to the Kan
sas City Star. Seventy-fve houses
compose the village, and seven of
them are occupied by preachers of
the gospel. No saloons are there In
the winter the residents swap yarns
by the side of the friendly stove in
the corner grocery, and in summer
they whittle hickory sticks and cut
their initials in the soft pine of the
store. There is mayor, but no
brawlers are ever brought before him,
and his chief labors are those of a
notary or uniting two souls whose
lives have flowed into the course of
the other. Years ago there was a
calaboose, but now the hut is used as

She had often noticed him in the
ring, as with smiling lips he waited
for the furious attacks of the mad
dened bull. At first his courage Ia
the face of danger, his proud dehances
his dark, handsome face and graceful
carriage won her admiration, and later
this admiration, aided by a romantic
disposition, ripened into love. AS TO
him, though he admired her magical
beauty and her daintiness of form, he
was not blinded to the distance which
separated him, Jose Narvezzo, the
matador, and she Fontella Adroverso,
the governors daughter. Still, when
he knew that her dark eyes rested
upon him. his form Strengthened, his
lips curIed in that disdainful smile of
bravery which made him the favOrite
of the ring and his sword would bury
itself with unerring aim into the bulls
flesh.
When a woman of Fontella's type
loves it is with passion which moth
ing can quench and no obstacle can
stop. How she managed to meet MIN
for the first time, how she drew him
on to her until his admiration of the
first days became the conQuering pas
sion of his life, will never be known;
sufficient to say that before many
weeks Jose had forgotten the distance
which separated their two destinies
and he has asked Fontella to become
his wife.
She remained silent for some time
after he had spoken that avowal of
love for which she had waited. and
with her dark eyes fixed upon him
in searching gaze she seemed to try
to penetrate the very depths of his
soul. After awhile she said:
Are you sure it is me you love, not
my wealth, not my social position. not
the fact that 1 am Fontella, the gov
ernor's daughter?"
A flash of anger glittered for an in
stant in the matador's eyes, but this
was soon softened by an expression
of pain as he sadly replied:
You have the right to express that
doubt, Fontella, for what am | when
compared with you? What have 1 be-
sides my courage to offer you? l was
