Hymn Of Pan
ny PERCY nYssnr sHELLEy.

From the forests and highlands
We come, we come:
IRON the riveAgirt islands,
Where loiid waves are dumb
Listening to my sweet pipings.
The wind in the reeds and the r,ishes
The bees on the bells OF thyme
The birds the myrtle bushes
The cicale above in the lime
And the lizards below in the grass,
Were as silent old Tnolus was,
Listening to my sweet pipings.
Liquid Peneus flowing,
And all dark Tempe lay
In Pelion's shadow, outgrowing
The light OF the dying day.
Speeded by my sweet pipings.
The Sileni and Sylvans, and Fauns,
And the Nymphs Of the woods and waves.
To the edge of the moist river-lawns
And the brink OF the dewy caves.
And all that did then attend and follow.
Were silent with love, as you now, Apollo.
With envy OF my sweet pipings
/ sang of the dancing stars
I sang of the ,daedal Earth,
And of Heaven--and the giant wars
And Love, and Death. and Birth
And then l changed my pipings.-
Singing how down the vale OF yMenalus
I pursued maiden and clasped reeds
Gods and men, are all deluded thus!
1t breaks in our bosom and then we bleed
All wept, as think both We now would,
II envy or age had not frozen your blood.
AT the sorrow OF my sweet pipings.

ment in carrying on whatever excava-
tions he may think necessary.

LIGHT ON GRAIN RATES.
Commerce Commission Investigates
Complaints Against Union Pacific.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission here to-
day began an investigation of the re-
cent raise in grain rates put into ef-
feet by the Union Pacific railroad. The
complainant is the Omaha Grain ex-
change, which charges that the Union
Pacific raised carload rates OH grain
across the Missouri river bridge at
Omaha from two dollars per car to
from $5 to SS per car.
The railroad, in its answer, admitted
all the claims of the plaintiff except
that it is denied that the increased
rates are exorbitant.
Tariff sheets showing the railroa d
rates were introduced and admitted.
These tariffs show rate of 81 per car
on eastbound grain and tariff of one
cent per hundred pounds on westbound d
grain. This latter rate makes the cost
on west bound grain from $5 to SS per
car.
The railroad, in its answer. admitted
all the claims of the plaintiff except
that it is denied that the increased
rates are exorbitant.
Tariff sheets showing the railroad
rates were introduced and admitted.
These tariffs show rate of 81 per car
on eastbound grain and a tariff of one
cent per hundred pounds on west
bound grain. This latter rate makes
the cost on westbound grain from So
to IS per car.
j. A. Munroe, freight traffic mana
ger of the Union Pacific, testified that
in 1904, the tariff on grain, westbound,
between Council Bluffs and Omaha
and South Omaha, was one cent per
hundred, the same as the rate now
complained Of Additionally there was
a switching charge from Omaha to
South Omaha. The minimum charge
S5 however Tho a e r
bound local rate from Omaha to
Council Bluffs was three, cents per
hundred pounds, making a charge of
from 81 to $24 per car on grain going
east from Omaha to Council Bluffs.
Munroe said the So rate was put in eff
feet because of outside considerations
entirely, and not because 81 was prop
er compensation for the work. This
rate applied only to grain shipped in
to Omaha on lines other than the I'm
ion Pacific.
1.-The entire charges on a car of
westbound grain, on a tariff of 81 per
car, is wiped out and often largely ex-
ceeded by the actual amount paid to
other railroads for the use of their cars
while the grain is being handled said
Mr.. Munroe.
Mr.. Munroe proved an unwilling
witness when the prosecution began
questioning him. but finally admitted
that while grain was hauled from Ne
braska points to Council Bluffs at the
same rate as when coming to Omaha,
when grain was shipped from Iowa in
to Omaha. a rate of So more was
charged than when shipped to Council
Bluffs.
w I. Lincoln, car service agent OF
the Union Pacific. testified as to agree
ments between all railroads centering
in Omaha concerning switching
charges between Omaha and Council
Bluffs. This agreement is the Ameri-
can railway association agreement on
switching at all interstate switching
points

day accomplished the feat of walking
on water from Cincinnati to New Or
leans, distance of 1,600 miles. in forty
days lacking As minutes, thereby win
ming the worlds championship and a
bet of $1,000. Oldrieve met with an acci-
dent-just before reaching the goal at
the head Of Canal street that nearly
cost his life. The big wooden shoes
suddenly slid outward and the water
walker turned turtle. His wife, who
accompanied him all the way in a row
boat rescued the captain.
Oldrieve left Cincinnati January 1
at noon on wager he would walk to
New Orleans in forty days. At the
falls above Louisville he was delayed
for "a hours, and this allowance, 1t
was agreed, should be computed in the
time:
Oldrieve was in motion only during
daylight, staying over every night at
various landings. He was equipped
with shoes made of cedar wood, four
feet five inches long, five inches broad
and seven inches deep. In a gasoline
boat preceding the water walker were

cure a New Trial. M

Utica, n. Y, Feb 11.-Mrs. L. NJ. Gill
lette. mother of Chester Gillette now
awaiting death in the electric chair in
Auburn for the murder of Grace Brown,
has abandoned her son and, leaving him
to his fate, will return to her home in
Denver.
She called upon County Judge Ward,
who, while district attorney, prosecu-
ted her son, and asked him pointblank
if he was sincere in his belief that
Chester killed Grace Brown. The judge
said he did. With tears in her eyes she
exclaimed:
In that case all I can do is to pray
for his soul. I will at once return to
my home in Denver rather than devote
my efforts in securing a new trial for
him"
Mrs. Gillette. who has been lecturing
in order to raise funds for new trial.
admitted that her efforts had been
failure because of her references to the
slain girl. Mr.. Ward told her to leave
Grace Brown out of her lectures If she
intended to give any more. Mrs. Gill
lette replied that she had assailed the
character of the girl in order to make
her son appear in a better light.

HOLE IN GROUND.

Woolwich, Eng, Feb. ia huge hole
in the ground is all that marks the
site of the chemical research depart
ment of the Woolwich arsenal and the
cordite magazine which exploded early
this morning with such terrific force
that the concussion was felt in towns
40 miles distant and the whole country
side was thrown into a panic owing
to the belief that a violent earthquake
had occurred. There was no loss of life
but buildings for miles around were
wrecked to a greater or less degree
by the explosion.
Within few minutes after the ex-
people, many of them half clad, thrOng-
ed towards the arsenal. There were
large holes in the walls of neighboring
houses, and on all sides shattered doors
and windows and wrecked roofs testf-
fed to the appalling force of the explo-
sion of cordite and chemicals with
which the arsenal and magazine were
stocked. These buildings were practi-
cally swept away, the big blocks of
stone of which they were constructed
being scattered for hundreds of yards
on all sides.
Yesterday being Sunday, there was no
night shift working, hence the absence
Of casualties.
The people of Raintree. 40 miles away,
were thrown into a panic by the shock
of the explosion while in nearer towns
windows were shattered and chimneys
demolished.
The cause of the disaster has not yet

These are only two of a great many
instances which might be given to show
who is really guilty of 1.-THE cruelty there
at the prison. I propose to. present this
evidence in the forms of sworn state
ments, and 1 believe THAT there must be
an investigation held. OF course none
of the employees at the prison would
testify about these cruelties, because it
would cost them their jobs. The only
evidence 1 can present is that of former
employees like myself. But If there is
an investigation held, and the en-
ployes are pinned right down to the
rack, and forced to give testimony, I
believe that the people of the state will
find out some things about the peniten-
tiary which they don't know now"
