heard sound ore summer night
When all the world was still,
And thought, I'd like to know tn
IS cause
And then l said, 81 will
l gently pushed the blind aside
And slowly raised the sash
For when | want to steal a peep,
I'm never very rash.
Now, when l looked out ON tn
street,
\ mingled feeling, grand,
Came quickly rushing DER me, at
The silv'ry moOnlit land.
Nor was a soul there to be seen
Not e'en a sound to hear,
Except the song of Katy-did
And one lone cricket near.
And so wondered what l heard
1udb uidNic lllC NduI W oCCs
And then | saw a Thomas cat,
As black as he could be.
But while a thought was shaping up
To show me what to think
Another cat came Siding up
And spoke as quick as wink.
He waited not for reply
But got it just the same
For while they stood there side by
side,
They called on ev'ry name.
At last the climax seemed to come
And all but tails we're still,
Then, judging from the fur that flew,
They went to war to kill.
My hair, in horror stricken mood,
Stood straight-way, up on end
The while l watched the battle rage
And heard their voices blend.
Loud angry tones broke forth at first,
Then agony-despair
While demon-like they scratched and
spit,
Beneath a cloud of hair.
But flesh and blood had limits here
For when it, came too hard,
The black cat gave an awful shrek
And skipped across the yard.
| gently slid the window down,
Upon the window sill
So glad the dev'lish cats were gone
And once more all WAS still.
There's nothing quite so nice as
peace,
Which all good men have sought,
While often, men, like these poor cats,
Would rather fight than not.

Panic From Explosion.

A panic occurred at the Congrega-
toinal church last evening during a
stereopticon exhibition being given by
Walter Hill. Acetyline gas was being
used for throwing the picture on the
canvass and by some means unknown
an explosion occurred. The instru-
ment was in the rear of the church
between the doors, and the explosion
set fire to the wall paper, and had it
been permitted to spread would have
cut off exit through the doors. A
scramble was made for the windows
and Mrs. Ross, mother of j. NJ. Ross,
was pushed through one of them sus-
tanning a broken arm. A man in the
audience, with rare presence of mind
and GOODNESS, however, pulled off his
coat and smothered the fire before any
serious damage was done. Mr.. Hill
has sent for an electric attachment
for his machine, which will be used
at the entertainment next Friday for
the benefit of the Free Library.

IN CINCINNATI
The Principals Are Well
Known in Prescott.
Brilliant Company With Clanking
Swords Attend Marriage of Cap
tain Read and Miss Kautz.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune of Sunday, August 9, contains
the following notice of the marriage,
in that city, of Captain Read and
Miss Frances Kautz:
st. Paul's Cathedral was the scene
of notable army wedding yesterday
afternoon at $50 o'clock, when Miss
Frances KautZ, the daughter of the
late General A. V. Kautz, was united
to Captain Alvan Chambliss Read, U.
S. A. 1t was very simply celebrated,
with no decorations other than two
bowls of white carnations at the altar
and with a simple and attractive sim
plicity throughout. a half hour be-
fore the hour set for the ceremony
the organist played several wedding
airs, and as the bride appeared at the
rear Of the church he began the pro-
longed note which heralds the begin
ming of the Lohengrin wedding
March"
The bride entered alone. She lis
an unusually beautiful girl, petite of
stature and fair of face. Her gown was
of embroidered silk imported from
Japan by her brother, Lieutenant
Austin Kautz. She carried white
roses and maidenhair ferns, while her
veil was caught with orange blossoms.
Her sister, Miss Navarro Kautz, was
the maid of honor, and carried a
great cluster of red roses. She wore
gown of white mule, with much
rare old lace, and large black pic
ture hat.
Captain Read was attended by Lieu
tenant Edwin Stanton, now stationed
at Fort Thomas, and a grandson of
the late Secretary of War Stanton.
The ushers were Captains Barker and
Sample. All the men in the bridal
party we're in full dress uniform and
made brilliant company with their
clanking swords and the cleaning
gold of their uniforms. Colonel
Narkbreit, Mrs. Kautz's brother was
already at the altar and gave the bride
away. Rev. Robert Nelson performed
the ceremony.
Mrs. Kautz was in handsome gown
of ecru net, trimmed deliberately in
lace. The only people present were a
few old friends of the bride'd mother,
who, as Fanny Markbreit, was a
reigning belle in Cincinnati many
years ago.
After a wedding supper at the st.
Nicholas, to which only the bridal
party and the relatives we're invited,
Captain and Mrs. Read left for Baton
Rouge, La, where Captain Read has
been appointed as inspector and com
mandant of cadets in the Louisiana
State University.
