Night.

How better than the golden orb of day,
love the silver rays which shine at night,
When twilight, drifting down the starry
way,
darps its weird anthems in its flight
love the calm. dark silence of the eve.
When whispering figures thro' the grasses
steal,
While in their efforts to beguile-decline,
No secrets of the starry night reveal
l love the rhine and rhythm of midnight
songs
and go,
While in each brilliant setting there belongs
The twinklngs stars whicq softly CLINT and
glow.
love the scented blossoms of each flower
Sensuous and sweet upon the balmy air,
While sivery light reflects each passing
hour
And throws her radiance earthward-white
and fair.
And over all the azure sky bends low,
In silent depths the stars their viglis keep,
While softly rocks the mighty cradle slow,
A lullabp to mother earth-as.eey.

Lansing, Iowa, July 40, 1904
The above is from the Chicago Re-
cord Herald of the 10th inst. and is
the latest production of Mr.. Herbert
j. Metoalf, of Lansing, the young
Iowa poet whose poems are receiving
most favorable criticism wherever
read. His work shows real literary
genius which promises soon to place
him in the front rank of American
poets.

Democratic Convention, Sept. 10th.

The democratic county convention
to nominate candidates for county
offices, will be held at the court room
in the ]. j. Marsh building on Satur-
day, Sept 10th. There is little like
lihood that the event will be preceded
with so much ado. or that there will
be so many candidates for the different
offices as before the republican conven-
tion of last Saturday, for the honor to
be conferred is an empty one, and
there are few who are willing to be
sacrificed on the altar of their party.

A Singular Fatality.

When Arthur Zeichel, aged II, fell
from boat to his death in lake near
Danbury, CT, Tuesday the fourth men,
Der of the Peck family of Brooklyn, was
drowned in less than month. The lei
chel boy was the stepsou OF DR.. Herman
T. Peck of Brooklyn, and it, was on Sun
day, July II, that DIR. Peck attended
the burial of his father mother and sister,
who were drowned by the capsizing of a
boat of Key West Fla, on July 9.
There is something singular about the
similarity of the circumstances surround
ing the drowning of each member of the
family. Capt. George w. Peck went to
Norfolk, Va, on July 4 and joined his
wife and daughter Sarah, aged 10. He
took them for summer cruise on a
small boat, the Mae. They stopped a:
Kew West and started again for cruise
toward the Dry Tortugas.
Not far from Key West a squall struck
the Mae, she was overturned, and Cap.
tain Peck. his wife and daughter we're all
drowned, despite the heroic efforts ol
others on board to save them. Mrs. lay
lor and DR.. Herman I. Peck were the
sole survivors of their parents.
Shortly after his father and mother anc
sister were buried DR.. Peck went for az
outing and rest near Danbury, CT tax
ing along with him his stePson, Artnu'
