Falls slanting DER the tawny plain;
A gentle breeze
From faroff seas
Blows gently o'er the wagon train:
A mellow beauty softly reigns-

Through the assure bars
Look down upon tho daskened plain;
Tho coyotes cry
And night winds Sigh

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Husband and Wife Complained of ts
 the Coupt.

! According to the evidence of Officer Halpin, who made his statement in the city court to-day before Judge Peasley, based on information sup piled him by the neighbors, Jane By holds and her husband of Pearl street do not get along together. There was some evidence of this in the black eye Mrs Rynolds had. She was arrested last evening at S:3O o'clock. She and her husband have been drinking slncc Christmas and he beats her quite fre,. quently. The husband gets his drink, wherever and however he can, and Mrs Rynolds is never short while she has skirt or any household goods to sell. When arrested she was carrying a pair of her shoes to sell somewhere. and but for her stockings she would have been barefooted. Mrs Rynolds sorrowfully asked tD be all lowed to go home. She was given thirty days in jail. ,-p James Kennedy, who was formerly more conspicuous in police circles than he has been of late, was charged with intoxication. He came from New York few days ago and fell in with old chums. The same thing hap pened him last October. He was giv- en thirty days in jail also.
 Martin Dwyer was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. Mrs Dwyer, his wife, testified that she has five children and that during the past three months her husband has beaten her ten times. The couple live on Fourth street and last night Dwyer locked his wife out He was arrested this morning by Officer MuI- iings at ? o'clock. The officer had some trouble in getting into the house.
 Dwyer told his story in a very im- passioned manner. He admitted that he has been drinking. but said it was all his wife's fault, and that he had to leave Ireland on her account. He was fined S and costs and sent to Jail for ten days.

eRITAlN's POLICY OUTLINED.
balfour Favors Close Relations With
 Colonies and Rearmamcnt.

Colonies and Rearmamcnt.
 LONDON. Jan. 13.-Premier Balfour. speaking at banquet given in his honor at Glasgow last night, avoided the tisca! question, but said he hoped conferences with the colonies soon would be quite as essentially a work. ing part of the empire as the house of commons.
 The two great problems with which the army had to deal, Mr. Balfour said, were the defense of Afghanistan and rearmament, which involved a cost as much as any continental nation was nble to bear. When this was complet- ed the British army would be in ad. vance of that of any other nation in the world.
 Continuing. Mir. Balfour said the fault with the empire was not that it was too small, but that it was too great and powerful and at the same time underdeyel2ped. One of the greatest problems before the country was that development, and the coun- try was only just beginning to realize the importance of further development of all countries under the British flag
 Mir. Balfour briefly alluded to the Dogger bank affair He said Great Britain was leading in the movement looking to the worlds peace and in the case of the Dogger bank incident had skirted the precipice of war. and . small want of tact would have been . discredit to civilization.
 In conclusion Mir. Balfour urged that it was the duty of all Britons to build up the machinery by which closer union with the colonies could be pro- duced.
