An Easter Dawn.
Low iu tne west the waning
moon
A silver crescent shone,
Ilifth overhead a smgie star
Kept patient watch alone
The earth was cold with frosly
dews.
But all tho east was pink,
As if a bed of roses bloomed
On morning's misty brink,
The sapphire field of night above
Took ou a paler hue
Perhaps the tread of angel feet
Had worn away the blue;
And .through the fleecy clouds
appeared
A broad and brilliaut ray,
A golden herald bringing light,
The dawn of Easter day!

Wireless telegraphy
proven successful between Capes
Uatteras in North Carolina, und i
Henry in Virginia, a distance of
47 miles.
New York has a sensational
trial of Patric for the murder of
Millionaire Rice. The Star wit
ness is one, Chas. P Jones, who
betrays such contemptible char
acteristics that his direct testi
mony against Patric must have
corroboration to be counted at
all, he boing a self convicted ac
complice. The detective force is expected
withiu a few days to have within
their grasp the man who slipped

Aguinaldo's manifesto is being
prepared in which he will set

Honor Well Bestowed.
About 30 Confederate Veter
ans assembled at the home of
their deceased comrade, Mr. H
M Goodman, Thursday, and
marched in column of two s as
an escor to the funeral pro
cession. On arriving at- the
church they opened ranks and
with bared lieads stood while
tho casket was borne through
followed by the family of the de
ceased. They were seated in a
body in church, the number in
creased to about 40, and at the
close of services again escorted
the procession out of the church
where again they opened ranks
while the procession passed
through. It was a touching
scene full ot pathos and was re
garded as eminently suited to
express tho endearing relations
that grow more tender as the
years come and go and the ranks
grow thinner. It was a fitting
mark of honor bestowed on a
worthy subject.
Cruel Robbers (jet Little Booty.
At Chadron, Ohio, a gang of
bank robbers tried their skill ou
tho Citizens Bank during the
night of the third. They had to
overcome Night Watchman Pom
eroy, whom they tied and gagged
not before he shot one of. them,
however. They laid him in the
bank, where he could see them
putting their dynamite. They
got away when it would shoot
but left hiin to take the conse
quence. Dr. Hudson, who was
aroused by the noise and coming,
found himself in their clautches
also. Hut daylight stopped them
wi h nly about $120 of booty
while one more door stood be
tween them and $3,000.

He is 68 years of age. For years
ho was department officer of the
Grand, Army of the Republic and

the revenue collector's office.
He showed no emotion on re
ceiving his sentence, which was
the l'.mit.
Suicide Follows Family Quarrel.
A distressing account is giyen
in a Syracuse, N. Y., dispatch
of March 31, in which Mr. and
Mrs. Will Welsh quarrelled and
the latter brooding over the
trouble, saturated her cloth

sot them on fire, . burning
herself so that she died some
hours later. Lady friends, to
sooth her last moments, sang to
her and she sang with them till
she became unconscious.

Kneeled Before a Fast Train.
The Philadelphia Record con
tains a pathetic story of an oc
curronco recently, of a lady who
was an inmate of a private hos
pital iu Pittsburg, aud was of
good family, Slio seemed to
have improved very much and
was allowed to go shopping, ac
companied by her nurse. In
largo department store that was
crowded sho escaped the eye of
her nurso who ran up and down
and 'phonod to have every body
help to secure her, but there
were no traces till Tiews came
from Philadeldhia that tho lady,
Miss Herdman. had been man
gljd by a fast train near Chelton
m ills station, lno woman was
seen by a teamster to deliber
ately lay down her package and
step on the track and kneel just
before the train that crushed
her. Her physician had never
detected any suicidal tendency,
but believes she suddenly took
such mania and committed the
deed under its influence.

t ij Coltrane s on Friday after-
i - J
""on- s origin is very mys
toious. Mrs. Coltrane had dined
from homo and arriving homo
about 3 o'clock and having occa
sion to go into the second story
room over the parlor wis amazed
to find the room on fire. It had
) burned the lace curtains and
scorched the window facing. IW
burned some books r.nd damaged
the table that hold them, also it
burned much of the carpet and a
chair, etc., and was burning the
base board of the walls. Mrs
Coltrane got a pitcher of water
near and extinguished tho fire
The damage was not great, prob
ably $25. There is no fire place
in the room, the house being
heated by steam. It does not
appear possible for the fire to
have occurred, and yet it did,
and while there was little to in
vite and feed the flames rapidly
there can be little doubt that the
house would have been laid in
ashes had not tho situation been
discovered wnuo in its eany
stage. There's never an effect
without a cause but this instance
gives a feeling of unsafety lest
such causes exist unobserved and
wo become tho victims of un
apprehended danger.

The Leading Systems to Combine J F
Morgau'a The Ccnlus.
It is now said that the greatest
of all combinations is about to
be effected, that of all tho great
systems of railroads in the
United States. Among those
mentioned are tho Southern,
CiuciuuaUi, Hamilton & Dayton,
Indianapolis and Louisville and
tho Cincinnatti Southern. The
object seems to be to save a
number of large saloried officers,
to avoid freight wars, and the
convenience of tickets to the
various roads. Tho Associated
Press gives it as news, but it is
not confirmed nor is it clearly
understood just what will be the
full import of the combination.
J Pierfont Morgan seems to re
the genius of the movement.

Lettors expressing the regrets

how Will Bs the First Importsmt

tary 1'roarresa In the Wester
Hemisphere During; Century to
Be Illustrated.
The achievements of the past century
have been mnsulUeent The march of
progress has been swift, and the tri
umphs of civilization have been mani
fold. The age of enlightenment is In
deed here. Mankind has progressed iu
the culture of the finer side of exist
ence and has turned to Its uses tlitj
nii sterlous forces of the elements In a
munuer undreamed of but a few centu
ries ago.
Yet who can foretell what the Twen
tieth century has to unfold? Who
would dare to predict what the
achievements of another hundred years
may be? Standing on the threshold of
this era, we look Into the past, and In
the grand picture of progress to be pre
sented In the beautiful buildings and
1 3T 'if1 Jtv im:v 9 .'J

NOliTIIWEST VIEW FHOM
comprehensive exhibits of the Pan-
American Exposition we see a record
In graphic form of what mankind has
accomplished upon this hemisphere
during the 11)0 years now completed.
With vision sharpened we look for
ward with prophetic eye Into the mys
teries of the future and get, in Imagi
nation at least, a glimpse of what tie
next century Is ti Hriiitr forth.
Cun It be possible that the Twentieth
century will see an advance In material
and Intellectual things as great rela
tively to thnt of other centuries as th
Nineteenth century has witnessed? It
scarcely seems within the bounds of
possibility, and yet who can say wheth
er even more wonderful discoveries
and even more Valuable applications of
our present knowledge than the past
century has given us do not await us In
the one now Just begun? The Nine
teenth century saw the revolution In
methods of travel on land and sea
caused by the invention of the steam
engine; It saw the invention of the tele
graph and telephone and electric light;
It witnessed the application of electric
power to ui linn transportation methods
and to the operation of the wheels of
Industry generally; It produced great
Improvements In the fields of medicine
and surgery and of education; It gave
us Inventions In the way of machinery
which have completely revolutionized
Industry anil shortened the hours of
labor for the manual workers of the
civilized world and particularly of this
hemisphere. To go on and enumerate
In detail the features of Nineteenth
century progress would require more
space than Is at my command. But It
will not do to forget tliut great as this
progress has beeu and proud as we
have a right to be of It there are tre
mendous problems of a social and po
litical character yet to be solved. Their
settlement during the next century will
do much to alleviate the misery yet ex
isting In the world and render happier
the millions who will be born, live and
die during the next hundred years. It
should not be forgotten that many
brnuehes of science are yet In their In
fancy. We have only begun to under
stand the mysterious force of electrici
ty, end we have not yet succeeded la
navigating the air. There are yet many
worlds to be conquered by the daring,
the Inventive and the pioneers of hu
man progress In the forthcoming cen
tury. Thnt the pulse of mankind will be
quickened by the great Exposition of
all the Americas so soon to be held
there Is no room for doubt
No more appropriate time could be
chosen for such nn Exposition upon the
American confluent. No more appro
priate place than Buffalo and the Ni
agara frontier could be selected, for
It Is at this spot where the cataract of
Niagara has been harnessed and sci
ence and Industry have combined to
concentrate all the energies and activi
ties characteristic of the time, that the
most fitting atsemblage can be made
of the things which portray most ef
fectively this progress.
Never before In the history of expo
sitions In either the New World or the
Old has such remarkable work of a
constructive character been done.
Never before did six months show such
a wonderful change In the appearance
of tract of land as has been worked",
without the aid of magic, In ths S50
ncres which comprise the site of the
Pan-American Exposition.
Now that the prlnclpnl buildings are
practically constructed and the whole
great enterprise has been thus far run
on schedule time It can be seen that

the confidence existing In the ability
of the management to open the gates
on May 1 upon a completed and per

The financial prospects of the Expo

The advertising It has received Is al

made by manufacturers, but In a dif
ferent part of the grounds. It will be
very large, as all the makers will nat
urally want to make as good a show
ing as possible. Here a considerable
number of Important Inventions no
yet accepted by any government but
Which may figure conspicuously In the
possible defenses of the future, will be
shown. There will he great guns and
small guns and guns of nil kinds and
their accessaries at the Pan-American
Exposition. To many visitors this will
be one of the most attractive features
of the big show. The study of weap
ons with which the great powers wage
war Is ever an Interesting one, and the
many wonderful discoveries and Inven
tions In this line during the past few
years have a tendency very naturally
to accentuate the Interest That the
fullest opportunity to satisfy curiosity
In this direction will be given at this
Exposition Is assured.

A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on 0 F
Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. It came'through his kid
neys. His back got so lime he could
not stocp without great pain, nor sit in
a chair eioept propped by ci ehions.
No remedy helped him until he tried
Eleotrio Bitters which effected such a
wonderful change that he writes he
feels like a new man. This marvelons
medicine onres backache and kidney
trouble, pnriHes the blood and builds
np yonr health. Only 00c at Fetzer's
