A Country Maid.

Her eyes the sun.kissed v1olets mate.
And fearless i'll their gaze,
She moves with graceful, careless gait
Along the country ways.
The roses blnshing in her cheek
That ne'er decay nor fade,
Her Laughter gay, her words bospeak,
A simple, country maid.
No flashing gems adorn her hair,
Nor clasp her lily neck,
No jeweled circlets, rich and rare,
Her sun-browned hands bedeck;
But pearly teeth through lips rs red
AS reddest rubies CLEAN;
The tresses DER her shoulders spread
golden mantle seem.
Her looks are kind, and sweet the smile
Tint sparkles in her eyes;
Her mind, her heart, are free from guile
She is not learned or wise.
No worldly art, no craft has she
Acquired, her charms to aid;
And yet she stole my heart from mo,
This simple country maid.

TRIED TO KILL HIS FATHER,
Sam Smith of Brushy Creek Township
in Bad Scrape-PIaced Under
Heavy Bond.

Samuel Smith, young white man
who lives in Brushy Greek township,
In gotten himself into Just about as
bad a scrape as any one man ever
got into. He is under bond for his
appearance at the next term of court
to answer to the charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill.
The alleged offense consisted of
firing at his father several times with
shot gun, and then chasing him
part of the way across the township.
Young Smith had a falling out one
day last week with his father, Mr..
Ashley Smith, who is one of the
most respected citizens of Brushy
Creek township. Young Smith be.
came very angry at his father and
finally got u shot gun and fired at
him several times, reIoading the
gun after both barrels had been ex.
hausted The. father ran and the
son pursued him, for two miles, it is
said, to Wyatt's store. The elder
Smith ran into the store and the son
started to follow him but was pre-.
vented by some people in the store.
The son then left, after saying he
would kill any man who attempted
to arrest him.
The man roamed about the coun.
try for several days, and the people
of that section were very uneasy,
fearing he would meet his father and
do violence to him. Nobody seemed
anxious to serve the warrant which
had been issued for him, rs he il
regarded as very dangerous man.
Deputy Sheriff Scott was telc-
phoned for, and went to the scene
Tuesday and commenced search
Several other parties were also search
ing at the same time, ard Smith was
found Tuesd,y night in house in
tho neighborhood by Magistrate Sit
ton. The magistrate detained him
until Deputy Scott arrived, and that
officer made tho formal arrest.
Wednesday morning young Smith
gave bond for his appearance at the
next torn of court. The magistrate
fixed tho amount Of the bonl at ST.
600, and the bond was signed by Mr..
Harrison Hendrix and his wife
Young Smith had the Brushy
Greek section pretty badly stirred up
for several days, and there is general
relief that he has been arrested and
placed under bond, which, it is

There has been lots OF guano put in

the people; they went need to hold
any meetings next year, they will
have enough Of it by guano hanling
timo. Some had Il nice stand of cot
ton up when the f,eeze cume, but
they will havo to plant oyer.
/ think most Of the fruit crop is
killed, perhaps there is few peaches
left on high places.
Early vegetables are somewhat re,
tarded hy the cold snap. see some
of our hcishbors' have peas in ful
bloom.
Wheat is looking very promising
since spring has come.
Spring oats are showing up nicely

CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 1o.-Four
persons were found dead in a small house
at No 5O11s Central avenue today. IL was

caused by escaping natural gas, but the

When neighbor entered the Nolan mouse

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Debate Over the Speech From the
Throne.

JONDON February 15.-1n the mouse Oh
commons TODAY the debate on the ADDRESS
in reply to the speech from the throne was
resumed by Mr.. Asquith Qiberal, and Tor
mer home secretary, who moved the fol-
lowing amendment:
I'VE humbly represent to your majesty
that the various aspects of the fiscal ques-
ton have been fully discussed in the coun-
try for nearly two years. and that the time
has come for submitting the question to the
people without further delay
Mr.. Asuuith supported this demand for
an immediate dissolution of parliament
with some trenchant remarks on the Wlde
fiscal gulf separating the unlonlst 1acuonS-
Turning to Premier Balfour, Mr.. Asquth
asked him to give monosyllaolc ailswci
between his and Joseph Chamberlain MS
cal policies, but the premier maintained
silence.
The speaker then declared that Mr.:
Chamberlain was also becoming lnoeuia.ea ed
with the malaria of ambiguity" and added
that this intolerable confusion, menacing
and perilous to industry and the empire,
could only be cleared up by prompt ana
direct appeal to the people.
Austen Chamberlain the chancellor OF
the excheouer. replying, taunted the lib
erals with asking the country for man
date to stimulate bOunty-fed competltlon
with British manufactures and TO MAINTAIN
a svstem of free imports without Tree eX-
change The opposition'S policy, he added,
was to shut it's eyes to all that was pass
ing in the rest of the world and cling to the
ancestral traditions of sixty years ago.
The government desired free hand 10
negotiate fiscal matters with foreign coun-
tries and the colonies and an unfettered
conference of the latter to see if a closer
union could not be promoted between Great
Britain and the other parts of the empire.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.
Nothing Done in the House on It To-
daV

Nothing was done in the House of Repre-
sentatives today in relation to the statehood
bill Representative Tawney of Minnesota
yesterday afternoon introduced a resolution
to discharge the committee on territories
from consideration of the bill, to disagree
to the Senate amendments, and asking a
conference with the Senate. This resolu-
ton goes to the committee on rules and it
is understood that in a few days that COM
mttee will bring in rule accordingly
Practically all of the thirty-three repubIi-
cans who were against the House taking
this course have signed the paper which has
been passed around by Delegate Rodey ap-
proving this plan, so that when it Games I'D
for consideration there will be no repub-
lican opposition 1t is also understood to-
day that the democrats are satisfied with
this course as compromise, in view of the
determined stand taken by the majority to
insist upon the House bill. If the Sena te
should decline to agree to the House plan
there may be some parliamentary skirmish-
ing in the House, but from the present pros
pect the majority in the House will stand
as unit to insist upon New Mexico and
Arizona having joint statehood.

GERMAN NAVAL ESTIMATES.
Secretary of the Admiralty Explains
Figures to Reichstag.

BERLIN, February 15.-Admiral Won
TirpitZ, secretary of the admiralty. ex-
planning the naval estimates before the ap-
prupriations committee of the reichstag, to-
cay said events of the Russo-Japanese war
had shown the soundness of the founda-
tion of the principle of Germany's naval
program, namely, that the strength of a
fleet lies in heavily armored ships. Torpedo
boats under special circumstances had won
Japan's initial success. but in the engage
ment of August 80 heavy guns and armor
had been decisive.
The strongest artillery behind thick armor
must under normal conditions hold the up
per hand in fighting. The extensive
use OF mines was by no means new They
hsd been used successfully during the
American civil war. Admiral Tirpitz re-
marked that no new program was pro-
posed by the government which only asked
for means to continue the execution of the
authorized program.
He would not attempt to speak for future
generations but, the secretary added, he
expected in the autumn to ask for the six
iaTse cruisers which were refused In 1900,
and for thirty-ilve torpedo boats.

UNRELENTING COLD IN IOWA.
Train Blockades Cause Scarcity of Fuel
Farmers Burning Corn.

DES MONIES, Iowa, February 15.-Con-
tinued, unrelenting cold and snow, which
have practically. put an end to business
and tied up all trains entering Des Moines
and traversing the state, have placed the
entire city and state at the mercy of a
coal and fuel famine.
But one dealer in Des Moines has hard
coal for sale, and that at price almost
above the reach of the consumer. Drifts
between the city and the coal fields
render teaming almost impossible, there
by cutting off the soft coal supply In
many sections of the state farmers are
burning corn for fuel
Hundreds of Iowa towns, isolated be-
cause of the stagnant condition of the
railroad service. are actually suffering.
Fuel has advanced to a considerable ex-
tent and will be unobtainable at any price
if cold weather continues
The associated charities of Des Moines
says that in the history of the associa-
ton there has never been such intense
suffering among the poor.
BURLINGTON. lowe, February 15.-Con
fronted by apparently insurmountablt
weather conditions, Burlington railroad Of
ficials today abandoned efforts to run train:
on branch lines out of. Burlington. Only
main line trains ara moving. The mer
curry today stood at IA below zero.
