Harp OF Memn0n, SWeetly struhS
To the music of the spheres,
While the heroes dirge Is sung,
Breathe enchantment to our ears
LET thy numbers, soft and low,
DER the sea with horror spread,
Soothe the dying while they flow
To the memory of the dead"
1t was as IL the spirit of James
Montgomery's Harp of Memnon,"
altered from battle ground to sea,
had gripped the souls of the Titapic's
band as the great liner settled to
her grave on the Grand Banks. and
the names of six Englishmen, a Ger
man and a Frenchman will go down
upon the first roll of honor in the
most appalling ocean tragedy in the
history of man.
Krins, Hume, Taylor, woodward,
Clark, Bradley, Breicoux and Hartley!
In the list Of second cabin passen-
gers on the Titanic the names Of
the eight are linked under the title
OF 'Bandmen."
When the last faint hope was gone
the eight musicians lined up on
deck. Then solemnly and quietly
the leader waved his baton, hands
flew to instruments and over the
iee-Iaden water flOated the strains
Of one Of the most sadly beautiful
hymns ever written. It was Nearer
Ny God to Thee.
To their playing more than fifteen
hundred souls passed from life.

Judge Smart, who is a progress
sive' candidate for congress up in
the First district, adjourned his court
in order that he might personally
attend the recent district convention
at Atchison and try to prevent the
convention from endorsing Congress-
man Anthony. When he found the
convention strongly inclined to en-
dorse Mr.. Anthony, he went to the
Taft leaders, so the Atchison papers
say. and offered to give the votes
Of the delegates from his county for
an endorsement of Taft and Curtis
ii only they would leave Anthony
out. It was not a very pleasant
spectacle, to see Judge from the
bench trying to trade off delegates
who had been elected as Roosevelt
men to promote his own interest. and
ii is rather pleasant to know that
the convention failed to follow his
desires. -IeIa Register.

Ths boy put his horse TO wild gaIlop,

enough up to the Prussian forces to ind
that they were advancing In formidable
turning movement. and gaIloped back
again over the same bridge to report to

the representatives of the miners on Feb
ruary Is, which confirmed the decision
calling for the strike. On the same day
notice was served by 1000 miners in
Derbyshire that they would quit work
next Thursday. and almost daily there
fed the owners of their intention to
strike the length of notice required vary
ing in different districts. All the notices
go into effect next Thursday.
Many wonder that some Of the miners
have not 'bolted the traces and struck
before the notices go into effect. Their
. animus against the owners is known to
be so strong in some places that 1t had
been expected many of them would be
on strike, though unoficially, before this
time. ..
Preparations are going on at a rapid
rate to partly, at least, guard against the
disaster that will result from the strike
Many large firms have ordered importa-
tions Of foreign coal, the greater part of
1t coming from America, and some from
Germany. The navy, in particular. has
been taking speedy steps to provide
against the fleets being rendered into a
state of incapacity by inability to get

several large orders for foreign coal, and

/ There are various estimates as to how
long the coal in stock will last after the
strike gets started. One familiar with the
situation said tonight that month will
completely exhaust every ton of available
coal. But this is not all. Few large Lon
don concerns have the means of storing
coal. and some of the most important of
them live literally from hand to mouth.
for the reason that-they use so much coal
that any great storage arrangements
would be an impossibility.
An instance is seen In the generating

ed by ship or barge, as required. Then
there are the huge vessels of the
mercantile marine. Coal is brought to
them by colliers. direct, and they have no
coal in store, A fortnights stoppage
would mean that no ships could leave
