PLAYS FOR DYING MOTHER.
sorely Stricken, Parent Insists on At
tendinu DAUGHTERS Graduation.

Lincoln, Neb April 9.-Conscious
that her dying mother was listening IN
tently to every note, Miss Edith Bur-
lingim never played better in her life
than at her graduation recital at Me-
mortal hall at the state university last
week.
Mrs. Burlington is suffering from
dangerous form of illness and for
weeks has been in very critical con-
dition. But turnout all her suffering
the sick woman has kept one fixed IDEA
in her mind, determination to hear
her daughters graduation recital, the
goal for which the girl has so long
worked 1t seemed impossible to the
attending physicians that their patient
would be able to make the journey to
Memorial hall, but the mind of the sick
woman was made up.
A carriage called at the Burlington
residence, the sick woman was carried
out. carefully placed in it and slowly
driven to the university campus. Al
the door of the Memorial hall strong
and gentle hands We're in waiting 10

had been prepared for her in little
room lust off the stage. There the
mother could not be seen by the audi
ence. but she could hear the exquisite
melodies created by her daughters
skillful fingers and the applause which
their beauty evoked.

I. LAKE HIGH AT SALTWATER.
Stage is Some Thirteen Feet Above the
Low Mark.

Saltwater, Mimi, April 10.-Lake St.
Croix stands at thirteen feet above
low water mark A mass of logs and
ice foes came down against the pom
toon bridge and threatened to damage
it heavily. The bridge was opened
yesterday morning and the obstruc-
tions sent adrift. 1t was found that
the pontoon had large amount of wa
ter in it and the engine of the fire de-
partment was put at work to clear it.
The sudden rise in the lake is due in
part to water which is backing from
the Mississippi. The city pumps on
the levee are kept going day and night
to keep the water from backing into
the mains.
Judge Crosby has found Dennis Oh
son of Marine Mills guilty of contempt
of court in that he has violated an or
der of the court by starting a livery
barn in his town after having made a
sale of his original barn on promise not
to enter the business again. Olson will
soon be directed to appear for sentence.
The funeral of Michael Moffatt was
held yesterday afternoon. The burial
was in the Catholic cemetery at South
Saltwater.

SOUTHERN VETS TO MEET.
Former Confederate Soldiers Are Ac'
tive in Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Ok, April 9.-'rhe present
Indications are that from oklahoma
alone 1000 persons will so to attend
the annual national encampment oil the
United Confederate Veterans at New
orleans. April 25-2S. An additlonal
1000 will attend from Indian Territory.
Enthusiasm regarding the national
encampment follows the united effort
which has been made during the la'>
wear to get all confederate veterans en-
rolled in camps AMI this effort has been
successful. In addition to this enroll-
ment of the veterans their sons have
been organizing as never before In the
territories. and local camps are now
established in every county.
Col William NJ. Cross, of oklahoma
City, adjutant general and chief OF
staff of the United Confederate Vet
Grams of oklahoma, says there are l,00O
veterans in Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory, and with but few exceptions
he reports them all enrolled. He eX-
poets them to take an active part ana
a lively interest in shaping the affairs
of the forty-siXth state.
Plan Cavalry Display.
At the present time wherever there
is Confederate Sons camp drilling is
in progress preparatory to taking an
Oklahoma battalion, mounted an unf
formed, to New Orleans This will be
an entirely new feature at the national
encampment. Only last fall was the
first sons camp established in the ter
ritory and at that time Major Brant
Kirk of Oklahoma City was commits
stoned state commander.
Without any preparation Mr.. kirk
gathered a few raw recruits and gave
demonstration of cavalry charge
each day during the annual encamp-
ment of the Oklahoma confederates last
fall at Oklahoma City. On the last
day of the encampment the sons of vet
Grams voted to make this a permanent
feature of the Oklahoma reunions.
1t was from this feature Of Kinks
at Oklahoma City and it's adoption BY
the sons of veterans that led to the
suggestion to march on New Orleans
several hundred strong. Commander
Kirk communicated with the national
headquarters of the confederacy and
explained his idea. So well was 1t re-
ceived that negotiations were opened
at once to the end of having the Okla
homa division give demonstration at
the coming national encampment,
which will then be followed by the or
ganization of cavalry regiments in
other states. Mr. Kirk has issued in
structions to every member OF the
battalion to procure new uniforms and
report for duty at Oklahoma City on
April 23. A special train will take the
cavalrymen from that point to New
Orleans, where horses will be furnished.
A band will accompany the cavalry
men. Commander Kirk says there will
be at least 200 and in all probability
800 men in full uniform take the trip.

to silence again.
"There's that steamer coming back,

thoughtfully. "And the treasures at

good man at any rate" Once more he
was silent, and once more he resumed,
speaking with difficulty: "1've got my
cruel. See here, this is my affair. I'll
not play Jonah in the circumstances"
He ceased and, raising himself upon
an arm, looked toward the liner. Then
with swift movement of his body he
pulled himself upon the gunwale and
rolled off into the water.
l uttered cry and rushed to the
edge Of the heaving boat. There was
no sign Of body, alive or dead, in that
tumultuous waste Of waters.
Sheppard sat trembling, with his
hand on the tiller. He whimpered.
The boats head fell Off and fell on,
and we rocked on the disordered face
of the sea.

ISSUE FORCED AT RIO.
Southern Republics Want Collection
of Debts by War Ships Prohibited.

Southern Republics Want Collection
of Debts by War Ships Prohibited.
Washington, April 9.-In the diplo-
matte hubbub which has arisen on both
sides of the Atlantic over the conflict
ing dates for the second peace confer
ence at The Hague and the all-Ameri-
can congress at Rio de Janiero, the fact
which stands out most prominently is
that at last an issue is to be forced
by the republics Of the south of the
question whether force shall be toler-
ated in the collection of debts by Eu-
ropean nations from American coun-
tries.
The sudden injection of the discus
sion of the Calvo or Drago doctrine into
the program for Rio and The Hague
Is likely to be firebrand for both con-
ferences. This doctrine is that the use
of force is not permissible for the col
lection of contractual debts. The
Monroe doctrine led Secretary Freling-
huysen in 1883 to write these words to
European powers that were threaten
ing Venezuela: 1.-THE government Of
the United States cannot but regard
with grave anxiety the attempt of a
foreign government to compel by force
the payment of mere contractual debts
due subjects of such government by a
South American state.
President Roosevelt, after taking the
position that the United States was
sort of policeman Of the western hem
isphere in explaining why he had en-
tered into protocol with Santo Domin-
go to collect the customs and pay off
the foreign debt, said: "Under the ac-
cepted law of nations foreign govern

lively intervene in support of the con-
tractual claims of their subjects"
This, read in connection with the de-
cision rendered by The Hague tribunal
in connection with the Venezuelan case
In which Germany. Great Britain and
Italy were given priority dn the pay
ment of their debts in consequence OF
instituting a blockade, has aroused the
South American republics to their
present action. The subsequent dis
cussion Of this question will be one of
intense international interest in view
of the growing Importance to Ger
many, Great Britain, Italy and France
of South America as a field for finan-
cial and commercial expansion.

foreign debt, is the leader in the move

great shrill sound, and upon our port
bows loomed the black hulk of an
ocean liner making for the sea.
That was the impression Of one mo-

voices called, and then we were swung
out again like a teetotum upon the
wilderness of brawling water.
The liner sheered off into the dark
ness. and there was nothing visible.
Sheppard kept the tiller hard, and we
rolled and tossed together. The wind,
as though it's dreadful mission were
fulfilled, dropped suddenly away, and
we were conscious of silence. Sud

At the Christian church on Christmas
Eve an Oriental Christmas Cantata was
given by the Bible class children that
was very well received. 1t represented
two Christian children, missionaries in
Japan, teaching the Japanese children
who Santa Claus is and what he repre-
sents. AZ children were used in the
Cantata, all dressed in japanese cost
nmes and the stage was decorated in
Japanese style, and the production was
well rendered and was full of meaning
and most appropriate. A nice Christ
mas tree was well loaded with good
things and each Sunday school scholar
was remembered with sack of candy
and nuts. Santa Claus was especially
well represented by Virgil Bennington,
and taking it as whole, it was quite
a success. At the close of the exercises
an offering was taken for the poor of
the city,
