| In Memoriam. No! No! No roses for that grave. Nor hot-house blossoms gay! No other flowers he cared for, save The gentle wild ones, did my brave— My boy who marched away. A slender boy with quiet eyes, And blushes like a girl; A lip that darkened downy-wise, And taper hands a maid might prize, And soft brown hair a-cur!. He loved to haunt the forest dells Where shady ferns are best, And fox-gloves with their dainty bells And where the timid violet tells A fairy’s lips have pressed. But of them all he seemed to hold The simple daisy queen; And happiest, from # baby, rolled Amid its foam of white and gold On summer's waves of green. And on that ever-echoing day The little town and I Saw our dear life-blood drawn away, And eyes were set and lips were gray | And trumpets blaring high. ! pinned above my boy's heart The flowers he loved the best, Kissed him once and wrenched apart, And looked again—and saw himstart, A soldier with the rest. My country asked my all, and I— 1 gave as mothers may. The daisies withered in July; And when the August fields weredry They brought me back—some clay. A stiff, soaked letter on its breast, With crumbling petals in; A brow that bore the kiss of rest; And, lightly to its treasure prest, The fingers pale and thin. At home I tend a shabby flower That pined the winter through, It seemed toshrink from hour to hour, Perhaps, in place of nature's showers It drank to bitter dew. One little starving bloom it bore, But timely did its part; And while to-day the roses pour, My boy shall have his own once more, A daisy on his heart! Misleading Statement.

C, May 10.— Some time ago a committee from the sugar Planter’s association visit- ed Washington for the purpose of board that met in Jefferson City in March, Camden will pay $3,480 more state tax this year than formerly. Democracy comes high, but it seems that Missouri must have it.—Cam den County Reveille. Statements of this kind are being printed in all the small republican papers of the state. Now why not tell the whole truth? Let us take Camden county for example: The assessor fixed the valuation of land in that county at $1. 86 per acre, and the board raised this valuation to $2 per acre. In Hickory county, which is certainly but a fraction better than Camden, the assessor valued land at $4.16 per acre, and in this instance the board made a re- duction. . Does any sane man in the state of Missouri imagine that he ean go to Camden county and pur- chase land, taking it as it comes, at five times the value fixed by the county assessor? The Reveille will not pretend that such is the case— neither will it say that horses and mules can be purchased at $27.48 per head, cattle at $8.59, sheep $1.13 and hogs at $1.32 And yet the board only raised the value of live stock in Camden county 10 per cent on mules. The truth of the matter is, the re publican papers are trying to deceive the people in regard to the action of the board. They dare not deal with facts. Outside of the first, second and third class cities, real estate has never been assessed at one-third of its real value. The idea of par bank steck being assessed at 40 cents on the $1 in one county and 100 cents on the $1 in another county is ridicu lous, and yet the board of equaliza tion had to contend with just such discrepancies. The census of 1890 places the value of real and personal property in Missouri at over $2,397, 902, 000, and yet counting the rai!- road, telegragh aud bridge property of the state, the total valuation this year will be about $990,000,000. It will be observed that this leaves a vast amount of property unaccounted for in 1894 that was visible in 1890. The law makes it the duty of the state board of equilization to keep the taxes on real and personal prop- erty in the state as nearly equal in| proportionate value as possible. This investigating the probability of a re- tention of the sugar bounty and in- cidentally furthering the interests of tke sugar planters, by interview with Democratic statesmen as might be of assistance to them. On the re- turn of this delegation interviews were published in the New Orleans papers, telling of assurances which had been received in various quar ters that the sugar interests would not suffer. Today circular letters were re- ceived by several Democratic Sena tor8 and Representatives from the committee of planters charged with guarding the sugar interests, which would indicate that at last the Soutk- ern sugar men had arrived at the conclusion that it would be best to attempt no further dictation. The letter was signed by Messrs. Dy- mond; McCall, Ware and Avery,who have figured so prominently in the sugar agitation, and reads as fol lows: We, the undersigned members of a committee of the Louisiana Sugar Planters’ association, who have visit- ed Washington city several times during the discussion of the Wilson tariff bill, have, in corjuction with our Senators and Representatives, worked ardently to obtain the best possible results for the sugar inter- ests, and while the protection given sugar under the lastest proposed Senate committee ment is far from from being factory, we fear, under the peculiar conditions, that more can not be se-| cured, and that any attempt on our | part to cast out let with the Repub- licans, for the purpose of defeating} the Wilson bill, with the hope of a retention of the bounty, at this par- ticular juncture action may be taken that would place our industry in jeopardy, we beg that you attend this convention or send your proxy to one of our committee.” finance amend- satis- Dashed Out Her Brains.

Representative DeArmond of Mis- souri, has introduced a bill in the house which has the merit of much practical good sense. The object of the measure is to make congressmen responsible for each individual part of the appropriation bills, and to do this it gives the president power to veto any item or items in such a bill. Through friendship between mem- bers or in return for the same kind itis often possible to saddle items upon the appropriation bills which bave no business there and for which no member would like to stand individually responsible before the president or the country. In this way vast sums of public money are wasted every session Mr. DeArmond’s bill offsets the increased power thus invested in the president by providing for an easier passage than at present over his veto It -has some objectionable features, of which the necessity for amending the constitution is not least. but, with this exception, it may be so altered so as to do away with the objections while retaining its most valuable points, and become a very satisfactory law.—Kausae City Times. Doubly Afflicted. Berliu, May 6.—Advices have reached bere from Stephani, a town in the government of Volhynia,show that nearly the whole village has been destroyed by fire. The chim ney of one of the houses caught fire during a high wind and the sparks were carried to the roofs of other |houses setting fire to them. The flames spread with great rapidity and the place being very deficient as regards means of tighting fire, little could be done to stop the progress of the conflagration. The inbabi- tants were panic stricken, and for a time were utterly helpless. Then attempts were made to save perscnal property, and much furniture, bed diug and other household effects were taken from the burning build- ings. Five thousand persons en- camped in the fields about the burn ing town, each family standing guard over the property they had hastily removed. While thus en- camped a cyclone broke over the place, breaking up the rescued prop- erty and sweeping by far the great- er portion of it away. Dailas, Texas, May 10.—News reached here to-day that a cyclone struck the town of Quanah in the Panhandle last might, wrecking nearly 20 buildings and injuring many persons. .
