Be tempted not to wander;

Be tempted not to wander;
Grieve not the hearts that love you So
But make their love grow fonder,
Much have thy parents borne for thee.
Be now their tender keeper
And let them lean upon thy love,
Don't make the wrinkles deeper
Re lavish with thy loving deeds,
BE patient true and tender:
And make the path that ageward leads
Aglow With earthly splendor.
Some day thy loved ones, stricken low,
Must yield to Death, the reaper;
And you will then be glad to know
You made no wrinkles deeper.

Don't Make the Wrinkles Deeper

If fathers eyesight growing dim,
His form a little lower?
Is mothers hair a little gray.
Her steps a little slower?
Is life's hill growing hard to climb?
Make not the pathway stopper;
Smooth out the burrows on their brow
Oh, do not make them deeper!
There's nothing makes a face so young
AS JOY youths fairest token:
And nothing makes face grow old
Like hearts that have been broken.
Take heed lest deeds Of thine should
make
The mother be a weeper;
Stamp peace upon the fathers brow
Don't make the wrinkles deeper.
In doubtful pathways do not go.

mary trial on the charge of admins
;ering poison to her husband, William
Clark Stuart with intent to commit
murder. The arrest of Mrs. Stuart
at Gloster, eight miles above here
some days ago, created intense excite
nent throughout the county and this
entire section Of the state, owing both
TO the prominence Of the parties and
the unique and sensational character
IF the scheme by which it is said, Mrs.
Stuart sought to end her husband s
life by studied and systematic
course of poisoning in order to early
realize large amount Of insurance
IN his life.
Mrs. Stuart was accompanied here
oy her half-brother, Mr.. Wilkinson,
and some other relatives. She bore
herself well throughout, frequently
consulting with her attorneys, but APP
oeared nervous during the argument.
She was evidently prepared for the
result, as she took it unconcernedly
and promptly furnished the $4,000
bond, which was signed by her bonds
men on the former bond Of $4,000
Upon the reading of the affidavit
The respondent pleaded in loud and
deliberate voice, ~ am not guilty"
William c. Stuart, the victim Of the
alleged poisoning, who has recently re-
covered, was the frsk witness for the
state. He told Of having taken GER
tain powders prescribed for illnesses
that he had suffered before. He ex-
perlenced sort Of stupor at the time
! breaking out upon the forehead and
an itching about the nose. He was
taking the medicine supposedly for
liver trouble.
He was asked, "What did you eat
or drink about that time?' "Well,
| drank coffee, among other things.
1t was brought to me by Mrs. Stuart,
was his answer.
" Anything peculiar about it?"
cit was sometimes bitter. I spoke
to Mrs. Stuart about it and she said
it tasted rather bitter to her, too"
Witness told Of his prior illness.
The last attack commenced January
3, last.
Mr.. Stuart said he did not use NOR
phine in any form. He had taken
one dose for medicine about thirty
years ago.
The witness was then questioned
about the insurance upon his life. He
took out a $4,000 policy in Dec. 1904.
Mrs. Stuart at that time agreed to pay
for it.
"Did you later find out that yau
were insured for more? 2"
eyes, about last May I found that
I was insured for $4,000. Mrs. Stu
art, he said, had secured another pol
icy without his knowledge.
The witness told Of periods he had
spent away from home when he en-
joyed perfect health. His symptoms
Of illness generally manifested them
selves either three or four days after
his return.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 4.-Ten per-
sons, all Of whom were connected with
lawsuit involving property given by
a widow to an undertaken in payment
for her husband coffin. have died
within the last three years Of mys-
FERROUS malady which the physicians
have been unable to diagnose.
George Smith and John Daily, the
parties to the original action, died Of
the mysterious disease soon after the
case was begun, in 1902. Then Thorn
as Brick, the District Clerk, who had
fled the case, succumbed to similar
malady. Three attorneys Clegg,

the suit and ordered a retrial.

surveyors were employed. These men,
Alexander Bartlingeck and c.. A. 'Sias,
became Ill and the skill Of the fore
most physicians in Galveston was I'M
able to save them from the fate of the
other seven. District Clerk J. f. ST.

other court officials and last week he
set the case for a new trial. Before the

most delicate terms possible, so that
no offense will be felt by the we'll

CITY FIGHTS FOR WATER.
Politics in New York Would Even
Deny People Free Water.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. A bill to
keep New York City out Of Ulster
county and force it to go to the Ram
apo water monopoly for its additional
supply of water will be introduced
next month by Assemblyman Cunning
ham, Of Ulster. Political influences
are at work to defeat the project Of
the city to tap the Esopus and other
Catskill streams.
The State Water Supply Commits
sion has held several meetings on the
proposition, but has not yet reported.
The introduction of the Cunning
ham bill will reopen the entire ques-
ton of water supply, and may serious
ly delay, if not defeat, the city's plan
to obtain pure water at reasonable
cost.
A protest was made today to the
State Water Commissioner by Judge
Samuel Seabury, Frank Moss, for
mer Senator John Ford, and others,
against the city's plan to spend $751;
100000 in acquiring watershed and
reservoirs in the Catskill region, on
the ground that the expenditure is
unnecessary; that better sites can be
found, and that no additional sup
ply would be needed if the city would
stop the enormous waste of water
by consumers and by its reservoir sys-
tenn.
They cite figures intended to show
that from 1891 to 1908 more water ran
to waste over the old Croton dam than
was brought to the city, and that
the new Croton> dam can save half Of
the waste. The DIRECTORS contend
that the two dams already planned in
the Croton watershed, if completed,
would take care Of the greater part
of the water that no wmust run to
waste over the new dam. The protest
declares that more than half Of the
water brought into the city is wasted
unnecessarily by consumers.

it is said embraces the ideas Of the Ma
tional Food Manufacturers Associa-
ton on pure food legislation and har-
monies conflicting state laws. It
takes from the Bureau Of Chemistry
Of the Department of Agriculture the
duty of fixing food standards and
places it under the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. The bill makes
it unlawful to do any interstate COM
merce business In adulterated or mis-
branded foods or drugs, to ship or de-
liver for shipment adulterated food or
drugs as articles Of interstate COM
merce, or to introduce any adulterated
goods into the United States. This.
bill permits when necessary the use
of preservatives in foods on the
ground that they will tend to prevent
ptomaine or other poisonings.

APPLE CROP SHORT
No Sales From Wild Horse
Orchards This Year.
FAIR PROSPECT FOR PRUNEs
Walla Walla Produce Company Finds
Fruit Shipment Will Be Light
From Athena.

There are no apples in the orchards
on Wild Horse Greek farms this year,
generally speaking and instead Of big
red apples being shipped in car load
lots. as has been done for several years
past, the farmers wife will have to
rake and scrape to find apples enough
for pies, and sweet cider will simply be
out of the question altogether. This
is the situation at every apple orchard
ou the creek.
The crop this year reads failure in
the most pronounced type. When the
late freeze came, the sap was we'll up
in the tree branches aud tender buds
had commenced to swell and form.
The few branches that escaped the
first freeze bloomed just in time for
the blossoms to catch the whitening
blight of later frosts, and thus, what
may have been "short CROP was
turned into fat failure. This is the
situation as far as concerns the apple
crop hereabouts. Trees appear to be
thrifty, foliage is healthy enough and
no report Of dead trees is made.
A representative Of the Walla Wal
la Produce company was in town yes
terday, and on investigation he found
the prospects for fruit shipment from
this point not very fattering, to say
the least.
There will be fair crop of prunes,
aud so long as the supply lasts. ship
ments will be made over both the 0.
R. g N. and the w. & @. R. roads.
The Wild Horse orchards produce an
excellent quality of prunes, and each
year there is quite rivalry between
the different buyers in securing the
crop for shipment to outside points.
