HENDERSONS POEM.

Several years ago the late Col. d. B.
Henderson wrote a poem, entitled Yes
or No?" which slumbered until the
other day. when it was read in Des
Moines at meeting held in the famous
Iowan's memory. The poem runs:
Is there a mentor strong and good
That always indicates the road
Where we should go,
That tells us with unerring voice
Which of the words should be our
choice
The Yes or No2
We have the bibles OF the earth.
With all their holy power and worth,
And yet we know
The world is wild with disputation
AS to the true road to salvation'-
The Yes and No.
When seeking virtues truest path
And all the purest gems she had;
Is there no woe?
Is there no doubt in noblest mind
Who in the word from heaven would
find
The Yes or No7
Our hearts will whisper: This is right:
Here live and love and drink delight
Nor dream of woe"
When reason suddenly cries out
In tones that I'LL the heart with doubt
And thunders: Nor
And ever thus We rise snd fall
We hope and fear and tremble all
Then We shall have sweet repose
There Is a light that meits our woes,
Lost is the No.

SENATE MAY DEFEAT

While Deadlock Is Probable DELAY in
Statehood Will Be Disastrous and
Lower Body May Compromise.

Meetings of the conference committee
on the Statehood bill will begin carly
this week. They will be held in the
room Of the Senate Committee on Ter
ritories, of which Senator Beveridge is
chairman, and will probably be pro-
longed. Both sides are stubborn, and the
indications are that there will be a
deadlock which will continue until near
the end of the session.
The House conferees are Messrs. Ham
ilton of Michigan. Brick OF Indiana, and
Moon Of Tennessee. They stand for the
original House bill. which proposes 10

tories of Oklahoma and Indian Terri

Exchange Of opinions" between Sem
ators Spooner and TiIlman on the rail-

profession.

the class.
Senator Spooner sprung the "cornfed'

them.

standing on the front steps of the
house. where they had been since morn
ing.
When ringing the door bell and pound
ing on the wall failed to bring any re-
sponse. Mr. Conard became suspicious.
and sent word to the Sixty-frst and
Thompson streets station. Special Po-
licemen Bale and Clear were sent to
the scene. They went in the house at
53S North Allison street and climbed out
the second-story window TO the roof of
the front porch. Then they made their
way to the roof of the Moore porch.
and finding the front window unlocked
threw it up
A rush OF gas drove them back few
feet, and as soon as the room had
cleared sufficiently they climbed in the
window One of the policemen struck
match. and the sight that he beheld
sent him reeling backward like a blow
from a club. The jet was located and
the flow of gas turned Off A lamp was
procured. and then the awful picture
was seen in its entirety.
Clear and Bale rushed to the side of
the bed to examine the woman and
child. But it was no use. Death had
been there a considerable time before
them. and the only thing to do was to
send for the police.
The bodies were sent to the morgue, the
police began search for the husband
and father. 1t was learned that he is
second class engineer on a steamship.
He had not been home for five weeks
The only reason the police could give
last night for the suicide of Mrs EIoore
and the killing of her child was ille fact
that on account of loneliness she had
become melancholy.

1t is to be observed that, between
the hours OF 4:42 and 5:21 D. m,
all OF the Georgetown cars, with
but two exceptions, were crowded.
Between the hours OF 4:4l and
500 p. m. all of the Mt. Pleasant
cars, with but one exception, were
crowded.
During the two hours thirty-nine
Georgetown and thirty-eight Mt.
Pleasant cars passed the corner OF
Fourteenth street and New York
avenue, The average headway of
the former was about three minutes
and five seconds; of the latter about
three minutes and ten seconds.
The longest periods between
Georgetown cars, likewise between
Mt. Pleasant cars, were about five
minutes.

dates for admission as one State.
Unless an agreement is reached before
the end of the session. the result will
be 10 deny Statehood 10 Oklahoma and
Indian Territory for at least another
year This would have serious pOliti-
cal effect. and many OF the Republicans
Of the House are inclined to believe
that the responsibility involved in this
proposition is too great for them 10
carry, especially with a Congressional
campaign coming on.
There is no question about The atti-
tude OF the Senate. and il is expected
that the final result will be that the
House will accept what the Senate in
sists upon. II Is possible that a com
promise may be reached. whereby the
question of the admission of Arizona

referred TO vote OF the people of those
