Greeting.
BY JULIA NEELY FINCH.

We'll greet the spfilg together, dear, You in your quiet sleep beneath; I outside with Y wreath And my lonely heart, oh dear, my dear! Upon the hill fair spring is weaving fairy carpet fainty green
 I wonder if in that Unseen You know how my heart is grieving? In the dim of the dawn heard bird Send forth his message softly clear Spring is coming Spring is near'- That all the waking world might hear And waking, thought first of you My dear so good, so kind, true! And all the world empty place Seemed lacking just your fair fe's grace. No spring hold the joy that brimmed Life's ruddy cup when you were here To lift and drink with me, my dear; No cup can be so jewelrimmed But still greet the coming spring, With all it's faint, fair towering
 For sake of springs when you were here And so, greet together dear, The spring that softly draweth near You, in your quiet sleep beneath; l. outside, with my woven wreath. sirming 4am March, 1905.

"Unless you have had some experience in the distribution of funds raised by putlic subscription, you cannot imagine what an undertaking 1t is" said Jerry Fountain. a member of the Bessemer committee in charge of the relief fund for the widows and orphans of Virginia mines.

GOLDEN RULE
BURGLARIZfD
Dry Goods and Clothing Store on
Fifth Avenue Broken Into Last
Thursday Evening.
SMASH THE CASH REGISTER
BURGLARS Secured but Three Dollars
for Their TrOubIe---Man and
Woman in on the Deal.

Two burglars, evidently a man and
store on Fifth avenue, last Thursday
night and smashed the cash register
all to pieces, secured about three dol
lars in small change which was left in
the register, and also CARED away
some dry goods.
The burglary was discovered by
Night Watchman Walter Gooch as he
was on his way home Friday morning.
While walking up Main street back of
Harry Browns store, he observed that
one of the Golden Rule back windows
was slightly raised He Immediately
made an investigation and found that
the window had been pried up, the
side catch tearing a deep cash in the
side wood work He Immediately in
formed Mr.. Akin, manager Of the store
who came down and made a further
investigation
The first thing that attracted his at
tention was the smashed cash register.
The top had been torn Off the back
pried loose and the cash drawer taken
out from the back. The manner in
which it was done showed evidently
that the burglars went to considerable
trouble to get the register open. This
trouble was entirely unnecessary as
the register was not locked and by
simply pressing key, the drawer
would have sprung out and the burg
! lars. could have accomplished in twen.
| ty seconds what it evidently required
| q quarter of an hour or more to do
| Fortunately, Mr.. Akin had taken all o1
| the cash but about three dollars out OF
| the drawer during the evening and
| that was the sum total of cash receiv-
| ed by the burglars for their trouble
| for their trouble. They also took over
some goods but not to any very great
| value.
Officer Gooch examined the tracks
| made by the house breakers in the
mud in the alley and when measured
it was determined that there We're two
people, evidently a man and a woman
at the job. The man had a number
| shoe and the woman a number 5.
This is the second burglary that has
occurred in this block during the pas
month. Harry Browns store wa.
| broken into three weeks ago and abou
forty dollars secured from the till O
| Mr.. Brown and the Mears stage com
pany. The officers are keeping a close
| lookout for the burglars and have theil
eyes on one or two suspicious charac.
| ters. Thursday night was an ideal oc
casion for such devitry as it was darl
| and rainy and there We're few people
on the streets during the evening.

SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL CONCERT.
Local Talent Entertainment at Opera
House Is Well Received.

A well filled house greeted the local
musical company, under the manage
ment OF Messrs. Beasley and Lindley.
at ouIVef's opera house last Friday
evening, Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able Weathe rconditions The enter
tainment was a success from every
point Of view, and very forcibly de-
monstrated the fact that Lewistown Is
the home of some exceptional musical
talent. The program was rather short
on account of the social dance that
was announced to take place immedi-
atel yafter the entertainment. The
prolonged applause however, that
greeted every number from beginning
to end told the story of a well pleased
audience, and the performance
throughout spokel well for the man.
agement as it was free from the hesi-
tation and long waits between acts
that too often characterize the work
of amateurs. The choruses were ex-
ceptionaily well rendered, and the
male quartette, composed of Messrs.
Beasley Lausch, Lehman and I.indley,
acquitted themselves with honor. The
solo, When Loves Dream was in
Bloom by Mrs. Albert johnson, was
one Of the features of the program, as
was also the solo, Best of ALL" by
Mr.. A. Froembling. The number that
completely captivated the audience was
the song and dance by little Miss
Brewer, who displayed talent that is
seldom surpassed in the professional
ranks. The banjo and harp solo by
Messrs, Peterson and Lausch was also
well rendered. The dance which fol-
| lowed was a Yer yenjoyable affair and
was participated in by large part of
the an1iapra
