Grief And HOPE
Untimely Death of Miss Klein
hans Moves Macdonald.
Veteran Educator Sadly Pays
Tribute to Young Friend.

John Macdonald, in his Western
School Journal, pays beautiful tribute
to the memory of Miss Esther Klein
hans, the high school girl who died
few days ago. He muses. sadly over
the mystery of death but sees light
ahead that shall make all clear as day.
He says:
Miss Esther Kleinhans of Topeka
died at 1925 on Monday morning,
March 3, 1913, at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Klein
hans, and of her grandmother, Mrs.
w. c. Webb. Esther was Is years old
on the 7th of last February She was
a member of the senior class in the
Topeka high school, and one of the
brightest of the band. She was espec-
tally strong in mathematics and liter
ature, and had mind beyond her
years. She read much of the best in
English, and to one who talked with
her often about her studies she made,
on her reading, comments that indl-
Gated intellectual strength unusual in
one so young. Esther was a lovely and
1ovable girl, the light and life of her
home. a neVer-failing attraction to her
school companions Mystery of mys-
teries why one so young, so lovely, so
full of cheerfulness, and hope, and
noble purposes, should be taken away
in the morning of lifei 1t has been so
since the beginning, it will be SO until
time shall be no more. JOB, thirty
five centuries ago, exclaimed in his
passionate sorrow, oh, that I knew
where L might find him! that might
come -evne to his seatP Our own
Tennyson, mourning the loss of his
beloved friend. voiced the emotions of
MILLIONS when after his sorrowful,
piercing looks into the future, he
cried
- But what am [?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying for the light
And with no language but a cry
But light comes to us from the
Master: What / do thou knowest not
now but thou shalt know hereafter
Beyond the bereavement and the
anguish, the Christian, believing
where he cannot prove, can see the
land of perpetual light, where ever
lasting spring abides and never-with-
ering flowers where there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow nor
crying, neither shall there be any
more pain
I'm the hearts of all who knew
Esther she will be in loving and ever
lasting remembrance. With the sor-
rowing survivors may there abide now
and forevermore the peace that pass
eth all understanding, and an unwav-
ering faith in the final reunion!"

The rebel forces commanded by Fra

There was a heated debate in the
chamber of deputies last night until a
late hour on the amnesty bill introduced
by Provisional President Huerta. The
bill passed through it's preliminary
stage and will be taken up for further
discussion shortly
The leaders of the opposition criti-
cised the government for desiring to
offer an amnesty to rebels who had
been guilty of incendiarism and other
forms of brigandage, but Querido

last card for the nations future,
Deputy ISABELLA, the leader of the fac

Francisco Madero, declared that the
amnesty should be granted to parlia-
mentary offenders only and not to rob-
bers and bandits. Senior Fabela asked
why the government had failed to pro-

RumbIingS in Washington.
Washington, March S.-Gathering of
Maderistas in Washington, headed by
Alphonz Madero. one of the deposed
family, centers attention upon this
governments attitude toward what is
said to be a junta planning hostilitieS
to the Huerta government. The Mex
lean city government already has called
attention to it.
While Madero was opposing Porflr1o
Diaz the Madero family maintained an
elaborate junta in Washington, with
which both the state department ana
the department of justice seemed pow
erless to interfere, further than a close
scrutiny of all it's movements by spe-
ciaI agents The Latin-American col
ony of Washington, which seems to have
wireless or underground communication
with all the rumblings in Central
America, is vibrating just now with all
sorts of talk, and much of it hostile
to the Huerta regime, and mentioning
prominently Venustiano Carransea, the
militant governor of Coahuila as the
leader in any movement for vengeance
for the MaderOs.

Thomas Stands Next.
At the White House today it was
said that next to Chairman McComps
of the Democrat national committee,
Augustus Thomas, the playwright, was
foremost in President Wilson's consid-
Grafton for the post of ambassador to
France. Mr.. McCombs, it was said,
had not made up his mind whether he
would take the post of ambassador or
remain as chairman of the committee.
In any event he plans a trip abroad.
+ The supreme court visit was unus-
uallv brief due to the fact that the
aides at the White House benefited by
their presence on the last occasion
when the court paid its former re-
spects An embarrassing situation was
created then, as neither the members
of the supreme court nor Mr.. Taft
were sure who should leave the Blue
room first. In the uncertainty the
courts visit was prolonged nearly an
hour. Today President Wilson was in
formed he was to depart ahead of the
court. He did so after chatting brief
Iy with the justices, and hurried back
to the executive office to meet long
line of callers.
President Wilson today finally de-
cided that he would not be accom-
panied in public by uniform aides. The
latter will be with him only on state
occasions at the White House or at
army or navy functions. The presi
dent is not fond of ceremony or quasi
regal appearances, which he thinks the
presence of uniformed aides invaria-
bly, gives. There are II aides at the
White House now, but the number pro-
badly will be greatly reduced.
OIney Not Apprised.
Boston, March S.-The definite an
nouncement from Washington that Mr.
Wilson had offered him the post of
ambassador at the court of ST. James
took Richard Olney and his intimate
friends by surprise today. Mr.. Olney
said:
Il have received no such offer and
1 doubt the accuracy of the report
He did not indicate whether he would
accept the mission. Mr.. Olney was
born in 1885. His last public service
was as secretary of state in the cabf-
net of President Cleveland. He has
been occupied since with the practice
of law in this city.

Mystery.

PENDLETON. OREG, Oct. IL
Deep in the fastness of the almost
impossible mountain of the Seven
Devils country. in Idaho, William
Finley, q prospector, discovered that
which clears up half of the mystery
surrounding the disappearance six
years ago OF Gentleman Jack" How
ard and Jim Wilder, two gold seek
ers, partners for quarter Of CEN
fury.
1t was an epitaph sealed by pitch
In an old tin can, and Finley found
it at the foot Of a tall pine tree be-
meath which a grave had been dug.
Here it is:
"Old Pard. # matters not in the
eyes of the Creator whether you are
buried with all the pomp and pagean-
try of a king or the simplicity of a
peasant. This giant pine that marks
your last resting place seems to say,
Here lies one man who has lived the
life Of the twenty Psalm Old
Pard, trust when the great trumpet
blows you and ! will be pards again
in the land of gold and perpetual hap
piness. Now all l can say is, God
bless you, old pard; goodbye, old
pard, goodbye, Jack Howard.
