SENATOR MILLARD AT HOME
Talks of NebrRska's Interests as Rep
resented at the National
Capital.

Senator J. II. Mlllard and his daughter
returned Friday from Washington and are
at home for the summer. The senator has
entirely recovered from his recent slight
illness and appears to be in the best of
health He said:
The first thing will have to do will be
to appoint a cadet TO the naval academy al
Annapolis. This will be done within the
next two weeks, but / have not yet decided
whether the appointment will be by COM
petitive exam nation There are about
twenty-five applicants for the place and but
one can have 1t. This matter will receive
considerable attention.
II left Washington before the Cuban
treaty was ratified, but l would have voted
for 1t had / remained. The representatives
OF the beet sugar industry of the country
seemed to have arrived at the conclusion
that the sugar schedule on the tariff ar
rangement would not iniure them, so there
is NO reason for the Nebraska people. TO
feel that they have been placed at a dlsad-
vantage on this score.
The ratification of the Panama canal
proposition and treaty will make a place
for seven commissioners, who will have
charge OF the whole matter. There is a
great struggle for appointment on this
board which will carry with IL consldera-
BILE honor and require much ability. John
l., Webster OF Omaha has received the un-
qualified endorsement OF both Senator
Deitrich and myself for appointment as one
Of the members OF the board.
I'VE have also endorsed Charles ].
Greene's candidacy for appointment TO the
circuit bench of the United States 10 the
vacancy to be created by the retirement Of
Judge Henry C. Caldwell. Mr.. Greene 8
chances at this time are as good as those
of any other candidate and we have hope
that he will be chosen.

pointment OF a United States district at

Senator Dietrich and Mr.. Lindsey were

THE JACK FROST THEFT.

THE JACK FROST THEFT.
Out in the woods,
The brown drear woods;
!. Alas! once gay and green,
Where the lilies stood.
And the sisterhood
Of flowers, decked the stream
Where the wren and jay on sum :
mer IS day,
And the mock birds nest were seen,
And the southwind's lay
Like a minstrel gay;
And the morning sunlight sheen,
Played on the face
Of the LOWEST place,
A meadow caIpetted green,
And the biooklets race
Like the huntsman's chase,
Was Joy to my soul, I ween.
Out IN the woods
The sad lone woods;
Alas once light and glad,
Where the mulberry stood,
And huckelberries could
From the bending boughs be had;
Where the grape vine hung
To the tall tree, swung,
Down just over the spring,
And a gleeful throng,
Nearly all day long
In their various moods would song;
Until the whole Of the day
Seemed passing away,
Like ride on the wind, Tor a
dream,
When the south seas spray
Ride the wind cloud away
Or when angels are watching the
scene.
Out in the woods
The October wood:
Alas once Nays and June's
Their green clean floor
Has been carpetted ore
With brown, and the moon,
Through the cold night shines
Through the leaves Of the pines,
And plays by the lilies grove
While the water stale
Of the brooklet frail
Seeps through hidden cove;
And the birds have flown
To a warmer home
The trees of their fruits bereft,
And you and I
Are left to sigh
Ger the ills Of The Jack Frost Theft.
