Lincoln.
Three and forty years gone,
Upon pleasant April morn,
From east to west, our land was
thrilled,
And every honest heart was chilled
BY this sad message-thus it read:
Lincoln, our president is dead.
The land by war long rent in twain,
Was coming to itself again.
Lincoln had been the guiding star,
The soldiers saw the beams afar,
And hope filled every loyal breast,
They saw, in fancy, home and rest.
But now all thoughts of home were gone,
The uniform was hurried on,
The guns and swords were grasped
with vim,
If they could only capture him.
The slayer of our chief-ah me,
Death was too good for such as he.
Lincoln was guarded we'll that night,
And Washington felt no alright
For soldiers paced the city round,
And braver men, were never found
Than stood on guard that April night
Around the soul that took its fight.
Now more than forty years have gone,
And memory stands on guard alone.
The wives and mothers of that day
Will often to each other say,
Our hearts were grieved Ger many a
fall,
But grieved for Lincoln most of all.
The above was written by Mrs.
Frances Scott of this city and was read
at the last meeting Of the w. R. C. by
Mrs. w. A. McCulley.

The McCulley Land Company Moved
Into Their New Office.

The McCulley Land Company are now
located in their new office on the south
side of Union street in the building
made vacant by the Oakes National
Bank. Mr.. McCulley purchased all
the bank fixtures, so the place has very
much its former appearance except

been fitted with new furniture and
fixtures. They have put in very neat
and useful piece Of ts,asniture known as
the omnibus, this is book case, letter
file and document case all combined
and is finished in mahogany to match
the other furniture. The omnibus is on
rollers and when in use is rolled out
into the Office but when not in use is
rolled into the great bank vault
and all the valuables are safely locked
up until wanted. The back rooms are
1edecorated up for private offices.
The basement will be used for packing
samples and q general store room.
While they have everything fixed so
nicely for themselves they have not
forgotten to provide for the comfort Of
their customers and have placed desk
supplied with stationery etc., in
front of the plate glass window and at
the right Of the entrance for the public
use, and anyone wishing to write a
letter or check, or do any kind of writ
ing is welcome to the use of this desk.
The display Of samples is the best to be
seen. The grasses and small grains on
stems are tied in punches and neatly
hung in sections across the front plate
glass in such way that they can be
moved for any purpose without much
trouble. The small grain samples are
displayed in glass jars on a table near
by. Take it all around, the McCulley
Land Co., have one of the incest land
Offices to be found in most any place.
Visitors are always welcome and will
receive the best of treatment at all
times.

HUNDREDS PERISH
Theater at Acapulco, Mex, De-
stroyed by Fire
FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY
Structure Was Of Wood and Had
but Three Exits.

Mexico City, Feb. 1e.-Between 2bo
and 500 people were burned to death
any many were injured in a fire which
destroyed the Flores theater in the
city Of Acapulco.
The Flores theater was q wooden
structure and over 1000 people
crowded into it to witness q special
performance given In honor Of Gov
ernor Damian Flores of the state Of
Guerrero, who was visiting the host
at the time. One of the numbers of
the programme consisted Of series
of moving pictures. While the opera
tor was exhibiting these, film caught
fire and a blaze was quickly communi-
Gated to some bunting used for deco
rativc purposes.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread to all parts of the struc-
ture. There were but three narrow
exits and the panic-stricken audience
rushed to them, many persons falling
to be crushed to death, their bodies
choking the way of escape.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapid
ity with which the fire spread and its
intense heat, it was impossible to at
tempt rescue work and those impris-
oned were literally roasted alive, as
the fire burned with little smoke and
few were suffocated. The efforts of
the fire department were confined to
attempting to save the adjoining
buildings and the firemen succeeded
SO we'll that the property loss was
small. The telegraph Office, post
Office and custom house were dam
aged, but all of the governments rec
ords aud registered mail were saved.

PROTOCOL FINALLY SIGNED
United States and Venezuela to Settle
Differences,

On0fence0s
Washington, Feb. 13.-Special Com
missioner Buchanan has telegraphed
the state department that he has
signed a protocol with the Venezuelan
government for the settlement of the
disputes between that country and the
United States. He will leave Caracas
for home Tuesday.
Three claims go to The Hague trib-
unal for arbitration; the fourth is set
tied by small cash payment and the
fifth has been settled directly between
the Venezuelan government and the
claimant. The protocol is equally
satisfactory to the United States and
to Venezuela. 1t saves the dignity
and honor of Venezuela, while as for
America the troublesome claims that
have led to SO much negotiation are
DISPOSED Of,

ford to wear wooden manufactures. The

it out Of reach Of the common citizen;

Nor does this excessive advance in

gets the benefit; but beyond the normal
profit to the grower there is an abnor-
nal profit TO the manufacturer which
comes out OF every user OF wearing ap-

against the whole wool schedule, which
will work great injury to the industry

which a genuine protective tariff

Men and women who cannot buy

argument that may work disaster when
the tariff question becomes a national

INDIVIDUAL DRINKING CUPS.

A crusade in favor of pure drinking
water is being carried on with great
vigor just at present, and quite a num-
| Der of reforms have been instituted.
The use of a single drinking cup by
many persons is prohibited in some
states, and full information regarding
/ the danger in the practice made public.
In the Technical World Magazine there
/ is an article on Death in School Drink
! ing Cups" by Professor Alvin Dawson,
from which the following is taken:
a cup which had been in use nine
days in a school was clear, thin glass.
It was broken into a number of pieces
and properly stained for examination
with a microscope magnifying 1000
diameters. The human cells scraped
from the lips of the drinkers were so
numerous on the upper third of the
glass that the head of a pin could not
be placed anywhere without touching
several of these bits Of skin. The sd
Iva, by running down on the inside Of
the glass. had carried cells and bac-
terra to the bottom. Here. however,
they were less than one-third as album
dant as at the brim.
by counting the cells present on fifty
different areas on the glass as seen un-
der the microscope, it was estimated
that the cup contained over 10000 hu-
man cells or bits of dead skin. As
many as $50 germs were seen clinging
TO a single cell, and very few cells
showed less than ten germs. Between
the cells were thousands of germs left
there by the smears Of saliva deposited
by the drinkers. Not less than 100000
bacteria were present on every square
inch Of the glass"
In order that water may be had by
the children there are destructible pa
per cups in use. These cups are mex
pensive and will go far to solve the
problem in theatres, parks, department
stores and other places where the peo-
pie congregate, as wen as in the pub
lie schools. The state boards of health
are taking up the question of prevent
ing the dissemination of disease by a
more strict regard for sanitation, and
the one drinking cup for all may be
soon prevented by law.
AS in many other matters pertaining
to the welfare of the school children.
Salt Lake is to the fore. The common
drinking cup has been abolished and
the pupils obtain water from flowing
fountains. The paper cups in public
places will doubtless come later.

FASHIONS AND WOOL.

In the Associated Press dispatches Of
yesterday Senator Smoot is quoted tc
the effect that "as a former manufac-
turer OF wooden goods, whose mill had
closed down. he knew the industry had
largely expired because of a change ot
fashion for wooden clothing"
That explanation is probably accu-
rate as far as it goes. but like a good
question. IL doesn't tell the whole story.
The fashion of wearing pure wooden
clothing has changed with a very large
proportion of the population of the
United States, not because there Is any
aversion TO wooden goods. but because
the man Of average income cannot az
