Nameless

Judpco. I plead Riiilty lie speaks tho trutlij I am what I am, and what yon see, So old in a damned, nnhallow'd youth

Do you think I never dream of home? Of a weary man with whitening hair Of a missing voice in a vncynt room.

Highest of all in Leavening r'o er.—Latest U, S. Gov't Report.

That your wrinkled years seoui young to me. Don't preach—don't lecture 1 know ir all The easy canting, tho fluent words. The solemn drivel texts from Paul,

And a mancled pliraso or two of tho Lord's.

Moreover, you err if you suppose That even a harlot, soaked in sin. Slides down the darkness without some throes

Of tho marred purities within. Oh, sir, you wronK even our disgrnco To think that wo never wail and cry Out from the foulness-, wilh lifted face.

To an awful Something up in tho sky.

And the sobs a-chokc in woman's prayer' That nothing has ever prompted flight, Swift as my hungry feet could fly, '/CFatherward, motberwaril— that 1 might

Fall on their neck?, break heart, and die?

My God! my God! when the masked brows must Bo clothed to a false, forged radiance, while The bloom of the soul is naked to dust—

And straight through your fabricated smile Dread ghosts of murdered innocence lliug Perpetual javelins from their eyes. And babe's birdlike chirruping

Scares like thunder out of the skies—

When tho sweet sanctities set to guard The inner whiteness from outer btain, Tricked of their holy watch and ward.

Moan and madden in heart and brain And a howling fury hunts and hounds Wherever a clean though!, hides away. And a dreadful voice of dooming sounds

Through the haunted chambers night Riid day

And a something mocks you when you laugh. And a something jeers you when you weep And liellfire lurks in tho wine you quaff,

And a fiend grins at you in your sleep And coiling horror sucks you down Through a black and bottomless abyss— Judge,do you think your legal frown

Can augur punishment worse than this?

Bah! what an infinite fool am 1 To talk like this to a man like you! Some day the toughest of us must die—

And we shall be sifted through and through. Sifted and sorted. Judge, have you thought That possibly tc the Sorter, then. Something that is may be naught

When the coward's shrieks steam up from men?

Keeping the I'urly in Une.

WAsntN'dToN. Nov. 17. Visitiu«r poll- I tieians lincl that President Harrison is paying much attention to roor^ani/.inir the party and mapping out a policy for the future. He has written about letters to leading republicans throughout the country with a view to rallying them from the recent re vers". It is probable that the president'* effort in

tliis direction will result in a. permalient campaign organization, which will keep up the party work from one presidential election to another, instead of trying to do the work of four years in the few months before tho presidential election.

village of Lyndon, was one of the most prominent and wealthy farmers of the township. He owned a large farm of two or three hundred acres of fine land, and was considered one of the most well-to-do farmers in the county.

Sliot Through tlio Head.

lie drove to this city Thursday afternoon, and after attending to some business matters started for home, arriving there about o'clock, ilis two sons, John and Ernest Swartliout, were engageil at work around the barn when their father returned, but no words were exchanged between them. Mr. Swarthout unhitched his horse and put him in the stable. After he had unharnessed his horse some one stepped behind him and shot him through the head. His body was then placed in a cart and wheeled about 100 rods to a straw stack, carried on top, and then the straw was set on lire. A daughter of the murdered man was the lirst to discover the lire and gave the alarm, when the two sons rode to the stack, but made 110 effort to quench the

Haines. ,, is The Hotly ('rninatnl. Upon their return to the house they inquired where their father was, but as he had not entered the house after his return the daughter and Ernest's wife had not seen him. They ate their supper without making any search for their father, and when neighbors called and made inquiries for him they were informed that he had probably gone to Lyndon. No search was made for the missing man I until a neighbor, a Mr. Sturtcvant, had called for the third time upon the 6cene and insisted that a search be made for Mr. Swarthout. lie could not be found. Friday morning the ashes of the straw pile were examined, when portions of the skull and other bones were discovered. In the afternoon a coroner's inquest was held. The two sons and the one son's wife were the only witnesses. Nothing could be learned from them which would so^ye the mystery.

The jury's verdict seemed to be unsatisfactory even to the jurymen themselves.

Searching for Clewn.

Saturday morning the ease was placed in the hands of State's Attorney Stager, who began a systematic investigation and soon discovered clews which led to a startling result. The place where the murder took- place was found and each clew followed up, thus finding the path in which the body was conveyed to the straw stack". Then, returning from the stack, the cart wheels were traced to a, place 1 in the slough between the barn and stack, where a portion of the skull, through which the bullet passed and to I which one ear was attache !, was found. Here also one of the thighs was found.

Tho Sons Arrestol.

Following up the clews other things were found which produced the greatest excitement among those who were making the search. Clothing covered with blood was found in sheds, and these belonging to the sons, suspicion was at once aroused that they were the guilty parties. On their cevidence before the coroner's jury they testified that they had seen no one around the premises and heard nothing that would iead them to suspect any prowlers aronrd. At the time of Swartliont's death he carried a valuable gold watch and quite a sum of money. These have not been found. Saturday evening the two sons were arrested and taken before a justice of the peace at Lyndon for a hearing. Demanding an attorney to assist them and there being none there, the preliminary examination was postponed until next Friday.

A Motive.

The fact that Mr. Swarthout intended to marry again was something that was displeasing to the children, as it might interfere with their interest in the property and turn Ernest and his wife away from the farm. Swarthout's wife died a year ago last October and the children thought he should not be in such undue haste in choosing another wife. Mr. Swarthout was 51 years old and hale and vigorous at the tune of his death.
