Fair Office Very Busy Place

Phoenix, Oct. I2.-The office of Secretary Christy of the Territorial Fair Commission has been one of the busiest places in the city for weeks past. President Hugh Campbell of the commission has been in the city often, enthusias- tically working on the many prob lens that are constantly arising. The result of all this activity will be that the fair this year will excel any previous effort. Since the last fair the grounds have become the property of the territory and ex- tensive improvements are under way and projected for the future. If President Campbell were asked what department would excel this year he would be at a loss for a reply, for the improvement has been material in all departments. The new officials of the fair, in- cluding the two named and E. K. Pirtle, of Douglas, and A. l.. Moore, of this city, are determined to make this fair record breaker, and it is safe to predict that every one who visits the fair this season will realize that they have delivered the goods.

And Thus It Goes

Two ladies from Flaff',
 That 1 know very we'll, Have amused me so much, I've just got to tell. This fall, when the books For new fashions came in, Showing off the new gowns, That looked neat as a pin, They examined most carefully All of the styles That appeared in the plates or innumerable piles. They had previously written To firms quite few, For styles and for patterns Of the latest and new. In week or ten days
 They began to arrive, In bundles and parcels
 Of various size. At last, when all here,
 The choosing time came,  As to what would be pretty, Yet modestly sane. The next step, of course, Was the sample of goods For the garment selected, To be worn in these woods. At last they arrived,
 By mail and express, And examined with pleasure And much eagerness. But to choose what was wanted Was much greater task Were too light or too dark, Or the styles would not last. After changing their minds About nine hundred times, As to just what was wanted To please feminine, They concluded twas best To send samples back, And see Babbett Brothers For their need and their lack

SAW HALLEYS COMET IN 1885
Oldest Man In the United states
Recalls the Strange Phe-
nOmena.

The oldest man in the United States,
and probably the oldest man in the world
said that he has a faint recollection of
Halleys comet which flashed across the
heavens way back in 1885 Few persons
on this terrestrial globe in the present
age live to see the comet once, but Mr..
Abraham Lewis Kalinsky, who recently
passed his ll6th birthday, will probably
enjoy the rare and wonderful distinction
OF seeing the scientific phenomena twice.
It may be of interest to note that on the
first occasion Mr. Kalinsky was Al years
old. Mr. Kalinsky's eyes lighted up with
interest when he was asked whether he
could recall the phenomena Of seventy
five years ago.
TT was on a Sabbath day that the

In a few minutes we were on the street
looking sxyward with deep and benign
reverence. Some one shouted that God

the inhabitants OF this mundane globe
and would destroy all We ran to the

Franchise for
Public Utilities
to Be Taken Up
City Council Prepares to Find Out
the Status of All These
Corporations.

There will be little or no summer vaca-
ton for the city council OF Omaha, &C
cording to present indications. The court
decision in the case against the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company has
started the councilmen investigating and
figuring as to the exact status of all fran
chises or alleged rights to use the streets
and alleys, and almost every member has
cached the conclusion that the movemen,
from now on, means a threshing out to a
finish OF the whole question of franchise.
The city attorneys department is hold
ing that certain of the public corporations,
possibly all of them, have no franchise at
all, and while some OF the councimen will
not go that far, they are in the humor to
find out just what the franchise rights OF
the companies are. This ascertained, then
will come up the question OF what the
city can do, or ought to do, in treating
with the corporations concerned.
On the return of Mr.. Fred Nash from the
east. probably Friday morning. the council
men are expecting to hear a proposition
on behalf OF the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company in the line of a new agree
ment for the use OF the streets and alleys.
Before going east Mr.. Nash said his COM
pany would ask for a fifty-year franchise
but this time limit did not meet with any
particular favor from the councilmen.
Twenty-Five years is about the outside

slider.

BACK TO COPS COUNTRY"
Farmers who Migrated TO Manitoba
Are Returning to the

A commencement OF immigration from
Canada into the United States has appar-
emily set in, If the influx lover the line"
into northern Montana may fairly be taken
as Indicative of the present trend. Accord
ing to an official report by United States
Collector of Customs Blair at Sweetgrass
in that state, hundreds of families have
come over from Canada within the last
week and have taken up government lands
in Montana. This movement began early
in tho winter and has increased each day
until the total of newcomers from across
the line has reached many thousands.
These newcomers are very largely men and
women who had given up their citizenship
in the United States in order to take up
Canadian government lands; some of them
have been in Canada long enough to prove
up their homesteads but large numbers of
them have come back without waiting TO
obtain title to their government lands or
| have sold their relinquishments or decided
the lands. So there would appear TO be no
call for official or other action in this
country to stem the tide" of American Inn

DIReES FROM THE GREAT
Dual Inspirations of Heart and
Drain Wrought I'm
EpltHphs.

The epitaph which Mark Twain chose for
his wife is chiseled on the simple head
stone that marks her grave.
To our mind there could hardly be a more
beautiful inscription. 1t is instinct with the
overpowering feeling that takes no thought
of language and therefore takes no words
Of sublime simplicity. What agonies of
heart and brain do we find distilled in these
eight lines:
Warm summer SUM-
Shine kindly here.
Warm southern wind.
Blow softly here
Green sod above
Lie light, lie light,
Good night, dear heart;
ed Good night, good night.
Literary men have a way of utilizing
their experiences for literary material.
But occasionally there comes an experience
too large and deep for anything save the
simplest, briefest utterance Volumes have
been made of what we here find reduced to
a simple, luminous point of feeling.
Mark Twain's inscription for his wifes
grave is even finer. in our opinion, than
| the one Robert Louis Stevenson wrote FOR
his own And the latter, certainly deserves
TO rank as a master piece of its kind; the
expression OF a brave soul and kind heart

death either exgent or unlovely:
Under the wide and starry sky
| Dig the grave and let me lie.
| Glad did live and gladly die,
And laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home Is the sailor, home from the sea-
And the hunter home from the hill.
! The tone of these two poems naturally
leads one back to another which would
make the sublimest of epitaphs: the
wonderful dirge in "Cymbeline" Where
beauty of feeling are in question one is
always likely to return TO Shakespeare
And where Will you find words more
majestic than these
Fear no more the heat O. the sun,
Nor the furious winter RACES;
Thou thy worldly task hath done
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Fear no more the frown O. the great,
Thou art past the tyrants stroke;
Care no more to cothe and eat;
10 thee the reed is as the oak
Fear no more the lightning flash,
4 Nor tn all-dreaded Thunderstorm;
Fear not Islander, censule rash
Thou hast finished JOY and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Conslgn to thee, and come to dust
