 No more on earth his face we'll see, He's dwelling safely with the blest,
 Around the throne with Christ is he. How dark the hours since he has gone; His little form is in the grave, Our hearts are lonely, sad, forlorn,
 The Lord took back the flower he gave We humbly bow to Gods own will
 We meekly say "Thy will be done;" Give grace, dear Lord, that we may still Find strength and peace in thee alone. We would not call the back, dear one, For thou art happy, free from pain; We'll only wait till victory's won,
 And see thy angel face again.

THE debate now going on be-
tween the democrats about the
availability of Mr.. Bryan and others
for the nomination for president
leads the Augusta Chronicle to de-
clare; While it is certainly de-
sirable that a southern man be
made President, that object must
be accomplished at least upon a
basis of merit both in man and
platform, and not alone upon a
mere geographical accident of birth
For the voters of the country to
case their ballots for candidate
merely because he is a southerner
would be as insane as southern
people casting theirs against the
candidate simply because he halls
from New York or any other
northern state, What Democrats
want is a candidate that can win,
and the best display of American
ism they can make will be to unite
in supporting such a man.

CLOUDBURST NEAR CONNELL
Damages Railroad Services and Destroys Land
and Valuable Property.

A cloudburst Saturday evening
near Hatton, in Adams county, on
the line of the Northern Pacific
railway did much damage and de-
layed all trains from the east per
haps scventytwo hours.
An engineer, whose train was
entering the canyon, saw the flood
of water coming, a solid wall OF
W tier, which he says was fully
eight feet high, coming too, with a
resistless force, stopped his train
and averted wreck, but the track
was washed from under his train.
Three or four bridges and three
miles of track were totally de-
stroyed, and as we go to press, a
report is current that the road can
not be repaired and trains operated
over same before tomorrow some
time.
The town of Connell in Frank
lin county suffered considerable
loss. Structures were moved fifty
feet from their foundations and
debris was scattered for miles
One man on top of freight train
lost his life near Hatton, H. A.
Piegner.
