Lamav's Fourth.

The Fourth was one Of the finest
summer days ever known in this sec
tion, and a crowd Of over 20O0 peo,
pie came to Lamar to celebrate the
day. They began to come in wagon
loads from early in the morning un-
til afternoon and most Of them re.
mained until after the fireworks in
the evening. The parade looked
rather short at the start but gather
ed fresh forces all the way along un-
til it made very imposing process

the music for the parade and the On

Eight years ago the democrats
were sullen and frowning toward
Grover Cleveland. The whole land
was undergoing hard times. He was
accused of selling the country to the
money power. The hard times
seemed evidence of the wrong of the
suspension of silver coinage and of
villainy of borrowing gold in time of
peace to hand over to the gold
sharks. President Cleveland went
out of office cursed by his own
party.
Mr.. Bryan is now getting SINH

ed for calamity laid at his door while

rive as scheduled by his prophetic

very refreshing in its plainness. He
spared neither saints nor sinners, high
or low, making a forcible presentation
Of the glaring evils of intemperance,

of the Rey. Sans style and language,

He strikes right from the shoulder,

cowboy closed his address by saying
that he wanted to go to Fairmont this
morning, and as it was too far to walk,
and he had but few cents in his pock-

Democrats or Republicans, Prohibit

w. w. Cowing Heard From.

A warrant was issued this morning
charging w. w. Cowing, secretary of
the Modern Brotherhood of America,
with embezzling $3.50.
The complaining witness was Harry
T. Hall, deputy district agent of the
brotherhood.
To the court, Hall declared that
Cowing was short about $500 in his ac-
counts, having failed, it is alleged, to
turn in dues and other funds collected.
The embezzlement is said TO have &C.
Cured between May and July | of
this year. Cowing lives at 265 Fifth
street.
Orois Leonard, agent of a surety
company which is on Cowing's bond,
told Justice Whelan that the Company
wanted Cowing prosecuted.

Journal reporter called. Mrs. COwing
said that her husband, yielding to her
earnest entreaties, had recently taken
his coat off and gone to work" He is

Cowing. "Since last March he has not

himself, even pair of trousers, and
nothing for the family. He was grow
ing old and making nothing lies 90,
although he does not look it,"
Both Mrs. Cowing and the brother of
the accused man, Albert, deny that
Cowing could be $500 short. They say
that the $3.50 shortage can be easily
explained. Cowing did some work for
Burley, the state manager of the SO;
ciety, in putting moribund Grand
Rapids lodge on its feet.
For this he was to have received q
salary his wife claims. Otherwise he
was paid 50 per head commission for

Something to Remember.

The season of lightning losses is at
hand. A large part of the losses which
the farmers mutual insurance COM
panies are called upon to pay is caused
by loss of stock by lightning. This re-
suits from the almost universal use of
wire fencing for the pastures and the
failure to properly ground the wires,
the wire on the fence being able to
carry a current heavy enough to kill
stock half mile from the point of dis
charge. A crowbar, some short pieces
of wire and a man can protect any or
binary pasture in half day. A piece
of wire attached to the fence wire and
into the ground to a depth of three
feet will do the work, il placed every
thirty or forty rods along the fence.

In climbing up the trail OF life though
troubles may embarrass you,
Though clouds of disappointment may
obscure your mortal skies,
Though thorns lie hidden i'm the path to
wound your feet and harass you.
And hostile winds may blow retardins
dust into your eyes,
Keep holding on with steady nerve; IL you
should fall just rise again,
IL you should for moment stray, get
back onto the track;
Keep praying that the coming day may
bring YOU sunny skies again.
Your eyes fix on the beacon light and
don't look back.
The beacon way up yonder CLEANS. though
clouds at times may curtain il,
The light of hope is shining on the
summit of success,
Though il may sometimes vanish from
your sight YOU may be certain IT
Again will flash its CHEEKY rays to
Danish your distress.
The gaunt wolves of adversely from
gloomy lairs may howl at YOU
And clinging fears your bosom may
most mercilessly rack,
The grim fiends of discouragement from
darkened hooks may scowl at you,
But hold grip upon your nerve and
don't look back.
When rest the darkest clouds OF life the
CHEEKY sun will shine again.
The fiercest storm will spend its force
and leave a smiling sky;
Around the winter fettered oak the flow
ering vines will Irvine again,
The longest lane of woe will have a
turning by and by.

strive hard to gain your place again
BE not appalled, when obstacles con-
front YOU on the track;
If wearied. stop and blow a bit, ther
strike the same old pace again
And set you teeth and bulge ahead

again. Still the man slumbered. But
at length by dint Of much tapping and

leaning over the pulpit edge. Il don't
mind your sleeping, but you are pre-

Costlier than Champagne.

Although champagne is called the
wealthy water" there are few hotels
in the country where one can pay
more than 81 quart for 1t, while, on
the other hand, there are hundreds of
places where Burgundy is sold as high
as $35 quart. At one hotel the menu
advertises a special brand of this fine
wine for $25 bottle. There are any
number of Rhine wines which cost
above SO, and there is a big demand
for them. Champagne does not i'm
prove with age as the other wines do
and this probably accounts for the diff.
ference
