The song Of tho Camp.
.Give us a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns Of the camps
allied
Grew weary Of bombarding.
The dark Redam, in silent scoh,
Law, grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound OF the MalakoI
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. A guardsman
said,
1--WE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while We may, anc3ner day
Will bring enough Of sorrow
They lay along the battery's side.
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from
Clyde,
And from the banks OF Shannon.
They sang Of love and not Of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name
But all sang annie Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and
strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not
speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains OF powder.
Revcnd tho darkening ocean burned
The bloody suns embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With stream of shot, and burst OF
shell,
And believing Of the mortars!
And Irish Morals eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang Of Annie Laurie"
sleep soldiers! still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

DID YOU NOTICE
THAT It RA|NEO I?

marks, keokuk Was Shown That
It Could Rain After
All.
FIRST TIME IN DAYS

Was Way Last May-only
Traces Since
Then.
FIRST TIME IN DAYS

keokuk was given a surprise party
this afternoon In the shape OF a rain
shower. After everybody from the
cook to the bank president had pre-.
dicted that it couldn't ever rain again,
the clouds struck a snag and were
ripped open, and the rain commenced
falling shortly after 100 O'Clock.
Ii the shower was a general one,
It's value to the crops cannot be esti-
mated. 1t might easily be termed q
million dollar rain. Even If it is local
it will be Of immense value in helping
the melon crop, and in aiding the
tomato season to hold on for some
time yet.
The late summer fruit crop will
benefit by the rain which fell in con-
siderable quantity during the early
afternoon. 1t did not take long for
the cutters to fill up, and for the
streets to present the appearance OF
Venetian alleys.
! This was the first rain since che
sixth of August, according to the
! weather bureau. On that day some
thing like 80 of fall was recorded
But even at that, there hasn't been
a real first class rain since last May
The alleged rains this summer have
mostly been teasers, and In the
parlance of the weather man just
traces" of PRECIPITATION.
It will take an all night rain to
really settle the dust which has &C
clmulated in the roads throughout
the country around here. Any way
the backbone of the drought was
broken by the wetting this afternoon

Heavy Loss Is Sustained When the
Structure is Completely Con-
sumed by Blaze Last
Night.
ORIGIN is NOT KNOWN
Five Head Of Horses, Wheat, Oats,
Corn, Hay and Farm Imp!e-
ments Destroyed in Big
Blaze.

A large barn, belonging to Paul
Pechstein and located on the old
Wyllie farm, was destroyed by fire
last night, five head Of horses were
| burned, and there was large guam
| tity of wheat, oats, corn and hay con-
sumed in the structure, together with
some farm machinery. The total loss
will figure up to between $4,000 and
! $4,000, it is estimated. Insurance
was carried but it does not cover moro
than one-l,alf the loss.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
1t broke out last night about 1880
o'clock. The telephone operator at
Vincennes sent out calls for aid, and
the neighbors responded to the call
and rendered all the assistance pos
sible The assistance of the tele'
phone operator and the neighbors IS
greatly appreciated by the owner OF
| the barn.
Mr.. Pechstein was called up at mid
night by the telephone operator, who
informed him Of the blaze. A hurry
trip was made to the scene OF the
conflagration but by the time they
had arrived, the barn was practically
all consumed.
The loss on the barn itself was
about $4,000. The five head OF horses
I burned was valued at S1,5o0. There
were 600 bushels of wheat in the barn,
1000 bushel Of oats, 500 bushels OF
corn, and besides this quantity OF
hay and straw. About $500 worth OF
farm machinery was consumed, also.
including cultivator, binder, manure
spreader and plows.
The Pechstein farm IS what Is
known as the old Wyllie farm. 1t Is
located near .vincennes, and a mile
from the Gonzales station. The light
I from the fire reused many of the PEG
pie, and the service Of the telephone
operator at vincennes in calling farm
: ers on both the Missouri and Iowa
side, brought practically every one In
: the neighborhcod to the scene of the
! conflagration.
I The dry condition of the barn and
it's contents caused it to blaze like
finder, and there was no ADEQUATE
means Of fighting the blaze at hand
: Within two hours after the blaze
broke out. the barn was only smol
dering ruin.
