AN EM ELEM.

Ever seeking the fathomless ocean, There to swell the silver spray, Broad, majestic, grand and beautiful, Wends the river its quiet way. Thro sleeping village and thriving city Lies its path to the restless deep Thro dreary plain and sunny meadow, Its flashing waters sweep. Upon its calm and smiling bosom, Dancing sunbeams stop to rest, And when the shades of night have fallen In gleaming moonlight is 1t drest. Iris resistless and unceasing
 In it's silent, peaceful flow. While the winds that sigh above it Alone its shadowy secrets know. An. thou beautiful. mighty river, Winding swiftly toward the sea, Hidden within thy sparkling depths Lies the emblem of eternity.

The New York Commercial says. B. F. Yoakum, president of the Frisco, was today elected a director of the Rock Is- land company He had previously beer made a director of the Chicago, Rock Is- land and Pacific railway, which is the operating company. MT. Yoakum suc- ceeds A. R. Flower, who is understood to have disposed of most of his Rock Is- land holdings.
 President Yoakum's election to the board of the Rock Island company is a step in the uniication of the Rock Is- land interests While it is definitely set tied that the Seaboard has no connection whatever with either the Frisco or the Rock Island, the fact that Mir. Yoakum is member of the Seaboard voting trust would seem to indicate that the roads will be operated as far as possible to their mutual advantage.
