DAWN AND SUNSET.
At dawn
A modest trill is hoard,
A signal from some unseen bird.
Some trust3* harbinger of morn;
Then "from the tiny, swelling throats
A hallelujah of rich notes
Itf greeting to the day just born.
At sunset.
When the rosy light
Is fleeing from approaching night.
And woodland shades are growing
deep;
A chirp, a flutter here and there,
A beat of wings npon the air,.
And night has hushed the birds to <
sleep.

i History of a Bonnet ji
I l^ X" BY JANE P* ROWE.
"Mr. and Mrs. Latham, had been mar* ;
xied nearly 10 years. 'Mr. Latham was :
a clerk in a dry-goods Store with a
eatery of $150 a ttbnth. He was a !
Man of steady habits, and greatly
"trusted by his employers*
The whole force of his mind was given
to saving money, and with this ettd in
view he restricted his living expenses
t? the lowest possible sum that accorded
with his position in life.
But with Mrs. Latham it was differ*
last, and she was one of those d&ihty
little women that light colors and ele? !
?aat material set off to great advantage.
If she had a passion in life it
was for fine clothes- But this passion
was sever gratified. She had few
amssements, for her husband frowned

going to parties lest she should be
at the expense of a return entertainment
Yet she was a cheerful little
body, and went on year after year,
baking and cooking and sewing and
mending for her great silent partner,
because, as she said, shq had not a lazy
bsae in her body,
^ When sjje was not at her household
duties ahfe was making over old clothes; ;
ahe fed one dress that had been turned i
si* times, and with the assistance of ;
tbe.cleaner and dyer was still passably
fresh looklug. Every new dress came j
out of her savings from the daily fare. j
One ^ these, with a mournful attempt i
at pleasantry, she named her robe de i
Wouton, because it had been procured
through buying scraps of the least
choice parts of a sheep and serving
them up to a confiding husband with j
a deceiving sabce that effectually hid j
their un Worthiness. Another was j
termed her "ashes of beef." because it j
wis attained through reducing stingy j
lump steak Into small fragments and j
Investing it in an appetizing pie.
As for her bonnets, she had quite fbr
gotten the date for their birth; they j
wore, in fact prehistoric. But one j
day this little woman met her fate, j
It came in the shape .of a bonnet a
dream In lavender. Such an airy thing i
; It was that she almost expected to taxe |
wings and fly away before her eyes. !
So afraid of this was she that she de- i
M tennlned upon securing it at once, so !
he went Into the milliner's and de"Fifteen
dollars, ma'am."
Kj 'Oh. dear! That is above me."
"Well, you can have it for $10. It ;

and as the winter is coming on we ;
are afraid of keeping it too long on
M on account of its delicate color."
"Well, I, will think it over, and perKg;
haps come for it on Monday.
Mrs. Latham's greeting to her husband
that Saturday evening was one
' <*r unusual fervor. He wondered and
was delighted, but later on was not i
' so well pleased, for when seated at j
dinner his wife said,?
pf "My dear, we have been married j
nearly 10 years."
"Indeed!" he answered smilingly.
|p They have passed like 10 months."
|| "Not to me. It seems an age since I
|pr/ had a new bonnet?
g "I'm sure the one you are wearing
t- cow looks as good as new."
"It's as old as the hills?in fact antediluvian.
And oh, John, I've just
turned and remade my wedding dress,
J' and I do so want a bonnet to go with
And today I saw such a love?I
was spellbound by it?I wonder I ever
/ "How much was it?'
"Ten dollars."
"Whew! That's beyond everything!
Ho wife of a dry-goods clerk ought to
f wear a ten-dollar bonnet"
"But John, I've not had a new bonnet
since my wedding, and I do so j
|[ want this one! It will exactly match
my dress, and I am invited to Miss
Simpson's wedding, and I want to go."
"Impossible, my dear," answered
' Mr. Latham, in his calm, authoritative !
way, "if it depends on your getting
that bonnet"
FA'- "But John, here have. I been work
p tag for you these 10 years, without ;
. asking anything hut mere board and 1
the commonest of dresses; if I had
been merely your working housekeeper
ay wages would have been at least
115 a month. Surely $10 in 10 years j
is not too much to ask for a new bon- .
net"
J "My dear, I have now a nice balance
, at my banker's which will be yours
whenever I die. Ten dollars added to
another 90 awaiting it will make $100,
and bring you in $5 a year more than
* you would otherwise have. I have at
this present moment only one $10 bill
|p in my pocket, and there it will remain
iy till it goes into the bank."
gj?? Mm Latham rose, and without a j
. word commenced removing the dishes,
p and nothing further was said about
the bonpet
- On the Monday evening following,
Mr. Latham came home in a towering
f'.| passion. He had been to the bank in
the course of the day to deposit -his
$10, and he found the money was not
in his pocket
? "Lucy," cried he, looking like a walkf
insr thunder cloud. "I never knew you
(jfe were a pickpocket"
"That shows how little you really j
know about me, my dear," his wife !
answered. "You have not thought it 1
worth while to study my character,
yon know, therefore one part of it sur<k
prises you." .
"But Lucy, do you really think it
right to rob your husband T*
"No, I consider it very wrong. I
merely took a little of what belonged
to me; your money is community property.

bonnet; It will atone f6r everything.
Away she ran for it She came back
Boon with a fluffy thing perched oa her

She rushed up to her bus- j

"There, now, sir. how do you like
that?" she gaily asked, and pushed up
her rosebud of a mouth for a kiss. But
he. In a blind rage at being so outwitted,
snatched the bonnet from her
h*ad and flung it into the fire. Ulie
little wife turned deadly "pale.
"Oh. /sh'n," she moaned, "you for
fret that this is our wedding day!" Ajk
putting up two small hands, who?<
only ornament was a plain wedding
ring, to hide her face, she sold>..d lik<

John gazed at her in A da:?cd kort 01
way. He loved her hotter than hit
life, hut he had not thought it necei
sary to let her know it.
"Oh, Lucy?oh, mjr de?r neart.'stop

in ills arms and soothing- her as 11 sjmwer$
a pain-stricken child.
"Ok I shall be the happietf
Lilian alive!" she said, throwing h'.:t
arms round his neck, and smiling
through her tears.

of the Wife's allowance was satisfactorily
settled.

FAILROADINC IN MEXICO.
Reason* Which Can*e<* a Train Crew to
Malce for Thj* Sid? or the Rortier.
Recently there arrived in El Paso on
the Mexican Central passenger train a
hrakeman lately employed on the Jiuiulco
division ho had been compelled to
flee froai the country or take hischauccs
of going to jail. His name is Withheld
by request as he said he might
want to return some day and, moreover,
person* ignorant of the co. d tioa.s
in Mexico might misconstrue hissudden
Sight.
On Sunday last he was running on*a
freight train between Jimulco and i?ofreon.
The track ia very crooked and it
is impossible for ah engineer \o seO
any distance ahead around the curves.
A party of five Mexicans were walking
on the track and on account of the
curve the engineer was unable to see
them until he was only a few feet
away. He instantly applied the air,
but it Was too late.
Two at least of the crowd, one a
man and the other apparently a woman,
were struck and knocked off the track.
The engineer instantly put on all the
steam he could carry and ran on at fttll
speed without stopping to learn more.
At Torceon the train was sidetracked
and without saying a word to any one
the entire crew departed in different
directions. The conductor and engineer
headed for Eagle Pftssv one brakeman
and fireman disappeared, and one
took the passenger train for El Paso
that came along an hour later. The
last arrived here last night without difficulty.

Cut-loan Cradles.
In the palm region of the Amazon
river there is a tribe which cradles
their infants in palm leaves. A single
leaf, turned up around the edges by
some native process, makes an excelent
cradle, and now and then it is
made to do service as a bath tub.
strong cords are formed from the fibres
of another species of palm and
by these their natural cradle is swung
alongside a tree, and the wind rocks
the little one to sleep. Long ago the
Amazon mothers discovered that it
was not wise to leave baby and cradle
under a cocoa palm, for the mischievous
monkey delighted to drop nuts
downward with unerring precision. An
older child is sationed near by to
watch the baby during his siesta, and
the chatter of monkeys overhead is
enough to cause a speedy migration.
Colonial Methods of Travel.
Wherever the earliest colonies settled
in America, they had to adopt the
modes of travel and the ways of getting
from place to place of their predecessors
and new neighbors, the Indians.
These were first, and generally, to
walk on their own stout legs: second,
to go wherever they could by water,
in boats. In Maryland and Virginia,
where for a long time nearly all settlers
tried to build their homes on the
banks of the rivers and bays, the
travel was almost entirely by boats, as
it was between settlements on all the.
great rivers, the Hudson, Connecticut
and Merrimack.

I never once referred to the odor-laden
air. No one loves the autumn leaf bet:
ter than I do or appreciates more the
i merits of a meadow lark. I have seen
the hillsides one vast sheet of gold

TWO CLOSE STATES'
Besult of Election In Kentucky
And Nebraska Is Speculative,
BOTH SIDES ARE MAKING CLAIMS
Democrats Seem to Have Both States, But
Kepubl'c<ins Have Not Conceded
And Are Hopeful.
A special of Wednesday from Omaha
fays: Election returns in Nebraska
are so close as to be watched keenly.
Chairman Lindsey, for the Republicans,
claim that McKinley carried the
state by 7,000 or more,the Republican
state ticket wins by 5,000 to 7,000, and
that the Republicans have a majority
oi seventeen in the legislature.
Against this the Democrats claim
that Bryan carried the stite, though
by a narrow margin of perhaps not
tnore than a thousand; that fusion has
a safe working jhajority in the legislature,
that fusion state officers are
elected by three to five thousand. The
legislature will be in doubt until complete
returns are in. Indications are
that it will be fusion b^ d small majority.
Both parties are claiming the
lead on joint ballot.
Democratic National Committeeman
Dahlman states that the Nebraska legislature
will be fusion by eleven majority;
that the fusion state ticket is
Kw aKahf k OOO rrt?ir?rit.V'. arid
tiCt'lCU KJJ a WW U V VjVW
that the Bryan electors win by 1,500.
Republicans are inclined to coucede
the legislature on the face of the
present returns, but they allege fraud
in Douglass county, Omaha, and will
contest. So far the returns show
gains in the legislature of sixteen
members for the fusionists orer two
years ago.
OLD STOBY IS KENTUCKY.
A Louisville special says: At 1:30
Thursday morning, with returns from
all but sixty-two out of 1,884 precincts
in Kentucky, The Courier-Journal puts
Bryan's majority at 7,784 and Beckham's
at 4,068. The missing sixty-two
precincts are about evenly divided between
Democrats and Republicans.
Governor Beckham, at Democratic
headquarters* said:
"I am absolutely certain that I
have been elected governor by a majority
of between 5,000 and 10,000
votes."
Leslie Combs, chairman of the Republican
state campaign committee,
said:
"We still believe Mr. Yerkes has
been elected by a majority of 3,000
votes. Our figuies show that McKinley
has run 900 Votes behind Yerkes.
At least 3,000 Republican ballots have
not jet been counted in certain connties,
and these will increase the Republican
vote. We also claim the
election of four Republican congressmen,
namely, Boreing in the eleventh
district* Irwin in the fifth, MeEeusie
Moss in the third and Hopkins in
the tenth. We are also of the opinion
that Sam J. Pngh has been elected
over Kehoe in the ninth district."
Independent voters charge that the
Republicans are holding back the returns
in the eleventh district, and that
the Democrats have done likewise in
the first, the Republican and Democratic
strongholds, respectively, each
waiting for the other side to make a
showdown, and that is responsible for
the delay in ascertaining the result.
REPUBLICANS HAVE HOUSE*
Indications are That They Will Have SOS
Members and the Democrats 155.
The control of the national honse
of representatives goes with the presidency.
The roster of new membors
of the popular branch of congress
shows that the Republicans were more
successful Tuesday than their highest
estimates. While the returns are not
complete in all the districts, the indications
are that the Republicans wil|
have 202 members, while their opponents
will have bat 155. The official
vote may make a difference in a few
of the close districts, but it now looks
as if Speaker Henderson will bave a
workine majority of 47?certainly not
much less than that.

MYSTERIES CP DARK ISLAND.
They May Be Cleared Up io Pert by Cattlof
Off the Heavy Timber Laid
A large wooded island in the Missouri
river, near the Lyman county line, this
state, that has been the scene of many
bloody deeds during the last threequarters
of a century, is about to be
converted to the use of civilized man
by having a large sawmill erected upon
it. In early days it was known to the
whites as "Dark island." The history
of this name is not definitely known,
but it is thought by old settlers that it
may have acquired the name from the
fact either that it is heavily wooded,
and therefore dark and gloomy as compared
with the open plains on either
side of the river, or, more probably,
that it was the scene of many a dark
deed.
It was on this island that two Jesuit
missionaries lost their lives in 1845.
They had come out to work among the
Indians, and had crossed over to the
island to consult White Eagle, a powerful
Sioux chief who lived there.
This was the last seen of them. Some
$-earS aftertvard the Indians of this
tribe used to display two white men's
scalps with long black hair, and it is
thought they were taken from the two
Frenchmen. A few years afterward
emigrants found this a convenient
place to cro38 the Missouri, but nothing
was ever heard of them after they
reached the island.
in 1893, at the time when the federal
government was converting the
Rosebud Indian reservation into organized
counties, Frank Phelps occupied
the island. At this time Mot Matson,
a Swede, who lived on the weal
bank of the river, directly opposite
Phelps' shanty, was murdered in front
of his own door. Henry Schroeder,
who was at that time employed bj
Phelps in cutting wOod for the steamboats,
was accused of the crime. He
was arrested and confessed his part in

the instigator of the crime. Schroedei
Is now serving the seventh year of a
life sentence In the penitentiary at
Sioux Falls.
Phelps was arrested and in the Ions
trial that followed spent all that he was
worth, including the island, in trying
to secure his freedom. He was found
guilty, however, and was sentenced tc
life imprisonment He appealed his
case to the Supreme Court and on th?
very day on which the opinion of that
court was handed down affirming the
decision of the lower court he suddenly
died in his cell in the jail at Alexandria.
Many other darK deeds have beer
connected with the island, but it haj
recently passed into the possession ol
a company that has commenced th<
erection of a sawmill for the purpose
of cutting the timber and clearing the
land and putting it under cultivation

work as it goes on, for it is though

The Crime of Soeeziof.
Even so late in the century as the
time of the marriage of our Queen it
! was looked upon as a gross breach of
! good manners to sileeze in company.
| In the time of that bluff sailor-king,
! William IV., the then Duke (ft NorI
folk was referred to as "something of
| a boor," and only for sneezing violent- i
ly at a state banquet when the King j
was present. Sir F. Hastings Doyle, in |
his autobiography, relates how, early
in the '508, Lord Halifax was walking
with Lord Dundas when the j
latter suddenly began to make hideous j
faces to such a degree that Lord i
Halifax became seriously alarmed and j
;gasped out: "Shall I run for the doc- j
! tor?" Lord Dundas gave a pereinptory
'"No," as far as he was able. When j
he had recovered from the paroxysm,
he said: "I was only in the agonies of
! trying not to sneeze. The awful Court
j etiquette in regard to this matter has
made me really ill many a time. Nowadays
I cannot, from long habit, really
sneeze; but the sensation that brings
! about sneezing simply agonizes Bite; I
! And I know many elderly gentleipen ;
who suffer the same."
The same rule applied and still applies
in some eases, in an even greater
degree on the Continent. The late
Czar of Russia, the father of the present
ftiiefi ofaee hazarded the opinion
[hat a certain distinguished FrenchEnglishman
was "much wanting irf
polish and good manners," because he,
poor man, sneezed at a Russian Court
reception. Even the late Napoleon III.,
free-and-easy as "*as his court in certain
matters, looked tipon sneezing in
his presence as a great liberty.?Answers.

Mrs. J. Learmonth, of 776 Broadway, South Boston, Mass., says:
" At ten years of age my daughter became affected with a nervous condition which aeon de? \'J ,
veloped into St Vitus' dance. It was pronounced by the attending physician to be a very sever* ; C?
attack. The month would be drawn spasmodically far to one side, the hands and arms wt frtless
and constantly twitching. Her limbs also were weak; her ankles bent under her so that it
was almost impossible to walk. She was so nervous that she would scream almost like a maniac
and then hsve fits of crving. After two months' treatment without a care I concluded to try ,
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Three bottles entirely cured her. She w
thirteen years old, and has been well ever since, and to-day is a picture ct health "
