The world need never shed a
uear for its sainted dead. They
are safe as the harvist is when
the farmer has bound it into
sheaves and stored it away or as
the roses are when the gardeners,
has wrapped their roots in straw
and Housed them from the storm.
They are safe dS the larks that
fly singing from the green earth
out of reach of the hrntsman's s
snare and the aim of the cruel
sportsm man. Tnev are safe as
warriors who march beneath
Worn BATTLE flags no more, bu,
sit down with conque"ors to fes
tivals of song and wine. They
are safe as young lam bsare wher
shepherds fold them from the
blast and carry them over rougt
places in tender arms. Weep lO:
the living all you choose: lie
your tears he unstayed above th'
dying bed where your darling
lie like wreaths Of fading snoy
beneath the glance of death: bu
if you believe in God, and hol
any faith in heaven, shed no
your tears for the blessed an
happy dead. Christianity give
the lie to it's belief when il grab
itself in sables and mourn, witt
out Comfort for those who hav
exchanged the inn for the palace
he wilderness for the land o
peace and plenty.

From Unr Regular Correspon dent
Apri, 2oth 1911,

An al summer congressional !
session with great activity in the
House of Representatives and
with characteristic inactivity in
the Senate is forc~ ~haduwed.
The S"nate is not yet organized.
The House promptly completed
its organiza Jon, PASSED the Ca
madam reciprocity bill, and has
presented and partially debated
! the so-call' d farmers free list
bill. As is well known, there are
complications and side issues.
! The presidential question, the
nomination coming off next year,
has much influence in politics
!and in Legislation at the Capitol.
There appears as yet but little
! opposition 70 the nomination of
| President Taft by the Ropuhll-
cans for a second term Straws
appear to Indicate on the De,uo-
cratic side a turning in favor of
Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey. The only apparent ac-
tive opposition to President Taft
is from the adLeronts Of Senator

Senator are active and aggres-
sjve and there is, of course 40

to the scene in an automobile. The
robbers we're traced as far as Kibler's
crossing where they turned west and
drove through Welsh's hill and into

The officers were unable to follow
the robbers any further than Kibler's
crossing.
1t is believed that the robbers drove
into Columbus.
An examination of the Abandoned

ing that the robber who fell from the
bullet from Night Woatchman Peat's
gun, was badly wounded and that he

WATCHMAN FIGHTS
With THREE "YEGGS'
Most Exciting Pitched Battle In Utica
Early Friday Morning

A message was received from Homer
shortly afterwards that the men we're
seen going through that village and
that one of them appeared to be badly
wounded.
The robbers drove directly to New.
ark and abolt o'clock this morning
the two rigs were seen on North
Fourth street by policeman who or
dered the men to stop. Instead one
of the robbers commenced to shoot
and the officer also began TO shoot
and succeeded in killing one of the
horses. Before the officer could reach
the men, however, one of the robbers,
who had been in the rig where the
horse was killed, jumped into the 9TH
er rig and turning the horse around
the trio started to drive back towards
Utica. The Newark officer who had
the exciting battle with the robbers
telephoned to the Newark police head
quarters for assistance and an auto
mobile was procured and number
of policemen fastened to the scene.
The officers tracked the men to Kib-
ler's siding, north of Newark, where
all trace of them was lost.
The people in this village are of the
belief that the three robbers, who at
tempted to burglarize the postoffice,
are members of an organized gang of
yeggmen which has been operating in
the smaller villages in Ohio for the
past few weeks.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the robbers upon entering the vii.
lage this morning first went to the
Sperry barn where they broke open
the door and secured pinch-bar from
the building. 1t was with this piece OF
iron that the two men attempted to
pry open rear window in the post.
office. The window had been pried
open several inches and no doubt the
robbers would have been on the in
side within short time had they not
been discovered by Night Watchman
Peat.
The robbers left one umbrella in the
Sperry barn, near tool chest, and
another at the Ball park where they
made getaway in rigs, but there
were no marks on the umbrellas that
might lead to any Identification OF the
men.
