RosALrE, THE PRAIRIE FLOWER.

RosALIE, THE PRAIRIE FLOWER
On the distant prairie, where the heather
wild
In its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Stands little cottage, and a creeping vine
Loves around its porch to Irvine.
In that peaceful dwelling was a lovely child,
With her blue eyes beaming soft and mild.
And the wavy ringlets of her tiaxen hair
Floated in the summer air.
CHORUS.
Fair as lily. joyous and free.
Light of the prairie home she;
Everyone who knew her felt the gentle power
OF Resale, the prairie flower.
On the distant prairie, when the days were
long,
Tripping like a fairy, sweet her song,
With the sunny blossoms, and the birds ct
play,
Beautiful and bright as they.
When the twilight shadows gathered in the
west,
And the voice of nature sank to rest.
Like cherub kneeling seemed this lovely
child,
With her gentle eyes SO mild.
But the summer faded, and chilly blast
Ger that happy cottage swept at last
When the autumn song birds woke the dewy
morn,
The little prairie flower was gone.
For the angels whispered softly in her ear:
"Child, thy Father calls thee; stay not here
And they gently bore her, robed in spotless
white,
To their blissful home of light.
Though we shall never look-on her more,
Gone with the love and theijoy she bore,
Far away she's blooming in fadeless bower -
Sweet Resale, the prairie flower.

bit of the history of ''Rosalie, the Prairie
Flower. as given by the author, George F.
Root. in his book. 1.-The Story of Musical
Life" may interest some of the older readers.
Nathan Richardson, of a music Publishing
house in Boston, asked Mr.. Root If he would
write him six songs. He did so. When the
songs were taken to.the publisher he asked
NJ. Root what he would take for the lot,
with bit of sarcasm on the last word. Mr..
Root replied: well, as you propose awhole-
sale transaction you shall have the lot at
wholesale prices, which will be 800 apiece
Mr.. Richardson laughed at the idea Of pay
ing SO much. Every WELL" said Mr.. Root.
''give me the usual royalty that will suit me
quite as well.'' This was agreed to, and when,
in royalties, Mr.. Richardson had paid Mr..
Root nearly $1,000 for "Rosalie" alone, he con-
cluded that $500 for the dot" would not have
been unreasonable, especially as all the other
songs of the set had a fair sale, for which he
had also to pay. Hazel Delf was another of
Mr.. Roots tthen) popular songs.

Criminal Court Proceedings.

A miStrial of the case of Lizzie
Anderson, after quite a long deli
beratiOn by the jury. The jury could
not agree on a verdict, so they were
discharged from furCher consideration
of the case, and it was set for new
trial next Monday.
Walter ClemmOns, who was charged
with assault and attempt to commit
murder, was found not guilty.
Another case requiring consider
able elaboration by the jury was
that of Sam Watkins, charged with
breaking and entering. The jury
was out all night on it last night
The verdict returned on it this morn
ing, was not guilty.
Another case, which will attract
considerable attention, probably at
this term of court, is on for trial to-
day. 1t is the case of Henry Carmi-
chael, charged with negligently kill
ing or causing the death of Lizzie
Matthews near Bowling Park last
fall. The peculiar interest about this
case is the extreme youth of the Of
fender; he being apparently about
twelve years of age.
Judge Carter and Solicitor McCOl-
lom are anxious that work should be
dispatched as fast as is consistent
with the fair and impartial trial of
each case and they are holding court
today, Saturday. The record for the
first week of the court has been very
good and the court is meeting with
the favor of the people.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR RAIL-
ROADS APPEARS ONLY
WAY OUT
JAMES ]. HILLS VIEW OF IT
The Federal Government, According
to Hill, Will Be Forced to Lend
Its Credit to the Roads

New York, June 15.-That the ma
tional government will be forced to
lend its credit to finance the needs
of the railroads of the country was
the statement made by James J Hill
in an interview yesterday.
The public, in its evaporation"
said Mr.. Hill, will demand that the
railroads shall lay certain rails and
provide more cars. The railroads
will answer that they cannot; that
their credit has been ruined. The
government will be obliged TO step
in and lend its credit to supply this
deficiency The situation might lead
to government ownership of rail-
roads. That would be the end of
republican government.
The cause of the trouble is that
the business of the United States has
outgrown the capacity of its rail-
roads and the railroads are in no
position TO catch up. If men cannot
get their freight moved, they must
cease to produce it. 1t does not ap-
pear any easier for a railroad to get
money now than it was a few months
ago. l know of instances in western
cities where short term notes of some
eastern roads are being peddled
around in $4,000 lots on a 6h to
~ per cent basis. Railroads can
not increase their facilities under
these conditions
Concerning the general business
outlook, Mr.. Hill said:
There is a general slowing up in
business. 1t appeared inevitable last
fall; it came, and | believe it will
continue. | don't think it will hurt
anybody, but that it exists there is
no doubt

covERNOR CONFER MAY NAME
BANKHEAD TO SUCCEED
MORGAN
LEGISLATURE MAY DECIDE
II Governor Conner Appoints Any
one He Will Name Bankhead for
United States Senator

Montgomery, Ala, June 15.-It
is suggested by some that as the leg
islature Of Alabama is now in ses-
sion-the recess being in effect actual
session-the governor cannot appoint
a senator to succeed Senator Morgan,
the idea being that appointment is
a recourse taken only when the law
makers are not in session. The ques-
tion. If there is one, would seem to
hinge on whether the legislators are
in session or not-On the meaning of
recess adjournment to day named.
Some seem to think, however, that
the recess is, in effect, an interval
in the meetings and that it would
give the governor the right to ap-
point. The national constitution puts
II this way: And if any vacancies
happen by resignation or otherwise
during the recess of the legislature
of any state, the executive thereof
may make temporary appointments
until the next meeting of the legisla-
ture."
Speaking of this question this
morning, Senator John w. OvertOn,
of Randolph, said: 81 think under the
constitution of the United States the
governor has a right to appoint a
successor to Senator Morgan to hold
until the reassembling of the legis-
lature on July 8, but no longer. The
legislature is not in session now, hav-
ing recessed until the date named.
Several lawyers of ability with whom
have talked take this view, while
others take the opposite. However,
| do not think the governor is obliged
to appoint under the circumstances,
as congress is not in session and will
not be for some time, and there is no
actual necessity to make a selection
prior to the reassembling of the legis-
lature next MONTH"
\ The impression is general about
the capitol today that if the COVER
nor does act he will name Bank
head. In fact, everybody takes the
view that there is nothing else for
nm to do, as his instructions are
emphatic. However, none seem to
Know whether he will appoint or not.

Ewald G. Abel Drowned at Pablo

news was received here this morn
Ing of the drowning of Prof Ewald
u. Abel of Jacksonville, who has bean
instructor of the Fifth CITY BRASS
Band OF this city. The entire men,
pership of the band, and MANY
citizens of Live Oak. who ware
acquainted with Prof. Abel, deeply
deplore their loss, for he was a man
who in a short time made mapv
friends here, and was a prominent
musical director of the country.
The Times-Union gives the fol-
lowing account of the drowning:
Prof. Abel was drowned while in
bathing at Pablo Beach, about four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. He was
caught by the undertow and was car
RED out beyond his depth, and al
though his bathing companions tried
hard to save him, he was carried be-
You'd their reach and before he was
finally taken into the surf boat was
beyond human assistance.
Prof. Abel and Mrs. Abel and
several Jacksonville gentlemen and
the Cincinnati musicians went into
the surf. While Mrs. Abel and some
of the others of the party remained
close in shore, Prof. Abel and others
went out beyond the breakers and
enjoyed swim.
While they were having great
sport in going over the heavy sweIIs
that were rolling in, those furthest
out felt strong underfow pulling
them, and they at once began to move
toward the shore Prof Abel was
seen to be struggling against the
force of the current, and the two men
nearest to him attempted to assist
| him.
One of the men was a member of
the Cincinnati orchestra, and the
other was a Mr.. Wortheimer. The
former soon gave out, and had to
| float on the surface in order to reach
the shore. The latter remained with
Prof Abel until he, too, was about
exhausted. In the meantime both of
them were being carried up and down
and whirled around and around by
the waves, which were steadily in
creasing in size.
THE surf boat first reached Mr..
I Wortheimer and he was pulled into
| it in an exhausted condition. 1t then
proceeded toward where Prof. Abel
had been last seen. ii was several
minutes before his body was seen
below the surface.
las quickly as possible the body
was pulled into the boat, and while
it was being rowed to the shore eff
forts were being made to resuscitate
him. 1t had been almost fifteen min
utes from the time he fas first drag
ged under the water by the under
tow before the boat reached him.
When he was taken out of the boat
his body was turning blue in places
and there was a frOth from his
mouth. This caused many to believe
that he was taken with an attack OF
the heart while in the water, and that
was why he was unable to help him.
self more.
LAS soon as he was removed from
the boat every effort was made to
revive him. There was a doctor
present and under his direction the
work was kept up for more than an
hour. At the expiration OF that time
the doctor declared further EFFORTS
useless. as death had claimed Its
victim. Even then the friends Of
the deceased did not stop but worked
on the body trying to restore respira
ton, until the train was ready tC
start.
