THE PANAMA CANAL.

We have tunneled the heart of darkness
And traverse the upper air
So who shalt write in the book of man:
"This thing, oh man, thou shalt not
dare"
And we of the race of dominance
The masters Of hand and brain
WELDING the magic staff of Moses
Now have smtten the lands in twain.
Bravely open the gates by people,
May the mighty seas give sway
To our ships of war and ships of peace
All that furrow old Neptune's way.
To our steel.constructed watch dog pack
Uncle Sam s whole fighting fleet,
To our peaceful train of merchantmen,
Who are given a new retreat.
Our land is an undivided land,
And surely if we are one,
Then a union of seas shall aid us
As a union Of state has done.
For the races of men shall mingle
Now that Earth s great seas are wed
And the ships of hundred Kingdoms,
The paths of the seas shall tread.
God grant the two great ocean tides
May never be sundered more,
Let Eastern waters and Western waters
Commingle from shore to shore.
Until the treasure stores Of commerce
Waited by the winds Of fate,
Shall east their magnificent anchors
In the tides of the Western gates,

William Jessup, who has been I'M
der the. personal supervision of CAPS
tain and Mrs. F.. P. Buyer of the
Salvation army since he got into
trouble a short time ago, has strait
ened up and is making a man of
himself, according to Captain Buyer.
The condition of his parole stipulated
that he must not drink, but he says
that he does not care now even If
his sentence is executed, because he
has decided to become better man
and is bound to make good.
Captain Buyer tells an interesting
and pathetic story of Mr.. Jessup's
conversion. when / took him few
days ago." said the captain, "he was
all in, down and out" Liquor had
undermined his system so that he
shook life leaf, and I had to minis
ter to him every hour, night and day.
| I have said nothing to him about re-
| ligion, and all he has done he is
responsible for. One evening after
| he had been with us a few days, l
] invited him to attend the evening
services, and he consented on con-
dition that l allow no one to talk
to him. I readily granted this, and
the next night he came without in
vitation. When I asked all those who
wished to be prayed for to hold up
their hands, Bill Jessup's hand was
the first to come up. He came to the
front and shed bitter tears of re-
morse, and vowed over and over
again to become a better man. He
knelt down and prayed for forgiveness
of his sins in manner that was
certainly pathetic. The next even
ing, Sunday, we had an exceptionally
large attendance at the Army hall,
and Rev. Paden conducted the serva
sup's conversion, and then asked all
who wished him well to come up and
shake his hand Every person in the
house came to the front. There were
between 375 and 400 people there,
and it took them all of forty minutes
to shake hands with him. There were
some prominent Mankato people at
the service, and all wished him well,
and spoke words of encouragement
to him. Rev. Paden said that he had
never seen so remarkable CONVEX
sion. William Jessup is new man.
The alcohol is out of his system, his
hand is steady and his eye is clear
He will make good.
, "The next day he went to his broth
!, err, C. w. Jessup, from whom he has
been estranged for some time, and
asked to be forgiven. His brother
. was overjoyed to note the change, and
embraced him tenderly. The two
; walked up the street like pals" AND
indeed they are. Bill says that he
i has lot of wrongs to right, and he
will not rest until he has squared
: himself with the world. He say:
! that the encouragement of the PEG
: pie in shaking his hand and wishing
5 him we'll is something that he neve
E before experienced, and this is wha
! made such remarkable impression
ION him. Nobody ever encouraged m
like that before he told me, and
seems to make life worth living whel
you know that there are few pee

e liam Jessup well.

Printer jim Weatherford has
been released from the charge of
stealing suitcase from the union
depot platform, and the other three
men VINO accuse him of the theft
are held to await the action of the
grand jury.
The missing telegrapher, spoken
of by King and Lovejoy, as being
the man with Printer Jim," who
they say took the suitcase did not
materialize this morning, and his
testimony will not figure in the case
at present. Lovejoy and King seem
to think that he was the man who
has the cameo stick pin which is
still missing from the suit case.
These two men were held on their
own admissions to having rified the
travelling bag after it was removed
from the platform, to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury at the No
vember term of the district court.
Connolly, who still maintains his
innocence of the whole affair, is
also held on the evidence that he
was seen with three men who were
taking the suitcase over the river
| bank.
! This testimony was given by Bag
gageman Rudolph Robson, who rec
ognized Connolly as one of the
three. 1t seems that Connolly had
been pointed out to him shortly be-
fore this time by policeman, as
| one of the men who were engaged

was arrested on the charge of help
