THE PREss MusF.
THE PEAcEFuL BRO,

The following specimens Of newspaper verse are well worth reading. The theme of both is peace:
 THE PEACEFUL BROTHER. The high life-thunders rattle, the growl CTS never cease; They wrangle and they battle, but I blow the land in peace.
 They know not where
 Their footsteps tend,
 But mine are where
 The furrows end. They tread on human hearts sometimes their millions to increase; I hold the hearts that love me and blow the land in peace.
 Ger my glad world
 The blue skies bend:
 My steps are where
 The furrows end. Frank L. Stanton, in the Atlanta Con stitution.

THE FALLEN. He ne'er would smoke, He ne'er would drink And wicked thoughts He scorned to think. A perfect lad.
 As you'll avow. Alas, how sadl
 He's a burglar now

PREFERENCE.

The voice Of a child is a sound most dear To mother-it means delight; But I'll be dinged if l care to hear The yells of a kid at night

DETECTIVE LEADER
is Still Working on Bibber Case-Says
HE Has Some Good Stuff.

Lewiston, Me. June 30-"Yes. | am
still working on the Bibber case" said
Detective Richard Leader of this cit.
when questioned by the Press, Satur-
day. concerning developments in the
case of John w. Bibber. who was muir
dered In this city two months ago, and
up ~ tins time no trace of the muir
derer has been made public. II have
some good stuff" said Detective Lead
er, and some time | am going to pull
this case through to- satisfactory
ending, but now | am very busy on
Other work, and am handicapped on
tile Bibher case by the lack of funds
cannot afford to give my time on this
case, and no appropriation has been
made by the city government OFF by
the friends of Bibber to make it an OBJ
jeet for any Independent officer to fol-
low il up. There has been all kinds of
talk made about different societies and
individuals contributing money for this
investigation, but as vet no one has
come to the front with any funds. 1
think | am on the right track, and ex-
ely few DAYS l obtain some informa-
ton that LEEDS me To think that | will
finally pull it through l have not
changed much from my original deduc-
ton OF the crime. and have been work
ing on the same lines almost from the
first. Just a little move evidence and
| will have the connecting link that has
bothered me since / began this inves-
tigation."
There has been much adverse criti-
cism about the way this case has been
handled by the authorities MIR Bib
Der was killed. on April "a. and as yet
no coroners inquest has been held. The
investigations made by the Lewiston
police department were without results.
and in their eagerness to get some
body for this crime the names of many
innocent persons have been connected
With the case. and private affairs of
the people who We're in no way impli-
Gated have become public. There has
beer . hdlf-hearted demand that the
investigation be continued and at least
a coroner's inquest be held. but as far
as the general public are concerned the
case remains practically where it did
on the night that Mr.. Bibber was shot
down.

MAINE REGIMENTS
viii Hold Annual Reunions Aug. IS
At Regimental Barracks.


Portland. Me-. June Acknowledgements
are being made for the 44th annual re-
union of the lst 10Th. and 10Th Maine
Regiments at the regimental barracks.
Donghty's landing, Long Island, Thurs
day, Aug. Is.
\ business meeting will be held at II
o'clock in the grove, southwest of the
barracks and dinner will be served at
noon. During the dinner hour readings
and musical numbers will be given by
the members of Annie A. Gould Tent.
Daughters of Veterans. and others.
The reunion is usually held a week
earlier but it was decided, last year, to
have it the middle Of the month so that

cises of the 50th anniversary of the bat
tie of Cedar Mountain might do so and
also attend the regimental reunion.

dar Mountain, Aug. o. when there is to
he a reunion of the Blue and the Gray

Sharp Fluctuations
In Stock Market.

New York. June 30-Some sharp fue-
tuations in prices of stocks occurred, last
week. with frequent reversals in the di-
reetion of the movement. The volume of
business was larger than the preceding
week. Speculative opinion retained am
undertone of confidence. The progress of
the Democratic National convention was
followed with an interest as great or
greater than the proceedings of the pre-
vious week at Chicago. In spite of the
active influence of the daily news there
persists feeling that economic affairs
are destined to shape themselves COM
paratively free from the effects of polit-
ical developments.
Probably most attention was given to
the advances in prices of steel products
announced during the week. The general
deduction was made and clearly war
ranted that confirmation was given by
this event Of the improved conditions in
the great basic industry. The expansion
in the consumptive demand TO an excess
of present capacity carried the warrant
for the advance. Comparison with pre-
Nous prices levels. however. disclosed
how small recovery was represented
from the Improbable low record prices
which followed the competitive conditions
OF last year and which were the factor
in stimulating the new demand.
The. advance of the season gives in
lcreasing influence to crop conditions. a
jump in the price of wheat carried
dissatisfying mtimation. From the di-
rection of the New England textile in
dustries, comes a note of increased con-
hdence shown in firmer price exactions,
Successive instances of wage increases
and further UPWARD flights in prices of
food products make complications
through the whole industrial and com
mercial fabric The reduction ordered in
tidewater lanthraeite carrying rates by
| the Interstate Commerce Commission al
| fected a peculiarly sensitive point In the
| speculative position in the stock mar
| ket.
The unappeased appetite for capital
constitutes the most serious item in the
| worlds financial problem.

PRENDERGAsT JOINS
Movement for Formation of the New
Roosevelt Party.

New York. June 39.-The first step
toward the organization in New York
state of the new party launched in
Chicago by the supporters of Theodore
Roosevelt, was taken. today, by City
Comptroller William A. .Prendergast.
Mr. Prendergast. who was to have
made the speech at the Republican
convention, nominating Col. Roosevelt,
was appointed to represent his state
on the committee formed in Chicago
to organize the new party. He laid
the cause before the people. today, in
an address to voters. Provisional or
ganization, he says, will be effected
without delay ana permanent organ
ization will follow as quickly as pos
sible. II submit this appeal to men
Of all parties and men who have had
no previous political affiliations
says Mr.. Prendergast in his statement
to the voters of the state. I'm the
name of the already great number
who have expressed their approval of
a new political party, I ask Republic
cans and Democrats to enroll them
selves in defence of honesty and po-
litical work and the advocacy of gen.
uine PRINCIPLES of political, social and
industrial reform.
This new party will not be the re-
suit of any sudden judgment passed
upon the hgh-handed acts of the Re-
publican National committee and the
discreditable work of the National
convention.
"A new party is a necessity because
so many have come to realize the
hopelessness of truly efficient and up
right government through the agency
of either of the old parties unless
they cold be effectnaliy divorced from
the sinister control OF those who be-
lieve that the power to take is fit
ting rule of life"
