A Woman's Love.

Upon the banks willow stands,
And where the pearly clam-shells
CLEAN,
It bows with weeping tenderness
Above the bosom of the streaml
In springtime when the banks run full,
1t reaches down to kiss the tide
For, in the years and years ago,
The willow was the rivers bridei
And when the freshet came that way,
The willows roots held firm and true
And saved the river from the fate
OF wasting in the lowland slough!
All, then the willow tree was fair
With brown-eyed daisies at her throat
The gay young river loved her well
And sang for her his purest note!
But as the years sped on apace,
The banks gave birth to taller trees
To naples and to elm and ash
That brought the stream new ecstasies!
And where he sang his song to her,
He veered and left her standing dry
faithful helpmeet of his youth,
Deserted on the bank to die!
And as she saw a.1ection fade,
Her heart was broken with Its woe,
And bowling low her head. she wept
Her sorrow to the undertowi
Ali Since that day the faithful bride
Has been the weeping willow tree <
The CASTOR sweetheart Of the stream
Who sings to his affinity

the end that such associations or it's

shall an injunction be issued when
there exists remedy by ordinary pro-

party cited for contempt shall. when
such contempt was not committed in

Chicago, June 17-"Cummins or Fair
banks" Such the Cummins men were
declaring today at the beginning Of to-
days activities, and they were adding
that Fairbanks would not take the
nomination if rendered, and that If he
would take it, the administration would
not accept him.
Supporters Of the vice president did
not for moment accept this analysis
of the situation, but contended that
with the presidency disposed of. the
supporters of the successful candidate
would be only too glad to welcome the
denomination of the vice president.
Iowa supporters of Cummins are in
creasing in numbers, and began the
day with an earnest effort to obtain
the support of the full delegation for
their man. Some of them are still firm
in their opposition, but the Cummins
people were not without hope of sue

assumed at the outset that today's ses-
sion of the convention would be COM
paratively perfunctory. so far as the

concerned. The features of the day

If compromise be reached today
upon the disputed planks Of the plat

may see the close of the convention.

COMPROMISE ON INJUNCTION.
Probable Committee Will Evolve Plank
Suitable to All Interests.
s (By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
Chicago, June 17.-Down to business
at last, the fourteenth republican ma
tional convention entered upon its sec
ond day with several important factors
unsettled, and with trouble enough in
sight to make it practically certain
that at least two days more must be
consumed before the nominations can
tion completed.
The proposed plank In the platform
relating to the limitation of the use
of injunctions in labor controversies
was the principal bone of contention.
The resolutions committee referred the
question to sub committee late last
evening and adjourned until this morn
ing. At that time surface indications
pointed to a long and bitter struggle.
Late in the night, however, it became
known that a compromise was likely
and that efforts were making to get
together on an Injunction plank fairly
acceptable to all the various elements
interested in the subject.
Southern Representation Bothers.
The committee on rules and order of
business also had troubles of its own.
and adjourned until this morning with
an unsettled controversy OF impor-
tance on It's hands. This was over the
proposition to reduce the ratio of rep
fesentation in future national conven-
tions The question will have an inn
portant ,effect upon the status of ne

Other Questions in Dispute.


While the battle royal of the conven-
ton will be fought over the labor in
junction question, there will be lively
contests over five other burning SUBJ
jects.
The tariff.
Government supervision of future Is
sues of railroad securities.
Increased federal control over trusts
Postal savings banks.
Limitation of southern representa-
tion in future conventions.
The remaining planks in the admin
istration platform probably will be
adopted without any change, save OF
phraseology.
There are numerous delegates who
are opposed to mentioning the action
congress took respecting the currency,
but this is a matter in which Speaker
Cannon has vital interest, because 1t
was the result Of his refusal to per-
NIT the house of representatives to ad-
journ that the legislation was placed
upon the statute books.
In the minds of some Of the dele
gates-and they hail principally from
the east-it is advisable to wait to see
the results of the operation of the law
before inserting any reference to 1t IN
the platform.

any event could not be effective in view

forces.

Charlton, June 17.-Despondent over
domestic difficulties, Alfred Brenne-
man, prosperous business man who
only recently came here from Leon
committed suicide yesterday by taking
carbolic acid. He was found dead in
his room by his little 7-year-old
daughter, who went to call him last
evening, for his nights work in his
restaurant. A bottle that had contained
the acid, and a letter to his wife ex-
planned his death.
Brenneman was very Jealous of his
wife and quarreled with her frequent
ly. Sometime ago she filed suit for di-
vorce, but it was not pushed and they
tried to live together again. He grieved
over their troubles, and his letters deal
largely with them. In his letter the
dead man asked his wife to take good
care Of their three children and to give
the baby boy his gold watch. He also
asked that a Leon preacher conduct
the funeral.

FIGHT INJUNCTION PLANK.
Contest May Be Carried to Floor Of
Convention.

Chicago, June 1.-THE injunction
plank of the tentative republican plat
form loomed up as the subject of the
aration for the contest has been going
on increasingly for two days and
nights and the lines are now rapidly
closing up for the supreme test Of
strength. Those who favor the plank
were more than convinced Of the su-
preme necessity for its incorporation in
the platform, while those who oppose
it made every preparation to carry the
struggle to the floor of the convention
in the event of failure to eliminate the
plank in the resolutions committee. To
fail to say that the republican party is
in favor Of the reasonable use of the
injunction would be omitting the neces-
sary answer to the charge which is an
ticipated in the campaign that Secre-
tary Taft is the father Of the injunc-

Positive statements were made in
denial fthe suggestions that Wash
ington was to withdraw the plank. It
was indicated that word from that
quarter was decidedly the reverse and
the command had gone forth that the
plank must be adopted at all hazard.
All but five of the fifty three mem
bers of the resolutions committee had
been selected yesterday. The Taft forces
claim control in favor of the injunc-
ton plank. To ascertain how this
strength is constituted was the pur-
pose of a conference between Senator
Hopkins, Senator Long and Wade Ell
lis. The members of the committee
will be thoroughly sounded, and will
without doubt be given individual
treatment in the form of argument
from both sides.
