POETKY.
For the Farmers' Alluscb.
The Fanners Are Coining.
TuBe Campbells are Comido.1
O what if this army that's marching' aloof.
That steps to the music of freedom's own
songf
Ti the farmers and laborers from river to
ea.
Wko have broken their shackles and dared to
be free.
Chorus
O the farmers are coming get out of the way.
The farmers are ooiring and coming to stay;
Their watch wold is right
And for freedom the) fight.
The farmers are coming and coming to stay.
0 ye who sink down 'neath a burden of care
And a weight of oppression tco heavy to bear,
TakeoouMge, look upward and oalra every
fear.
Far the farmers are coming and rescue Is
near.
CHomrs
Toe hosts of oppression may threaten and
sneer,
But deep ( their hearts they are trembling
witL fear,
For the eeund of resistance o'erspreads all
the world,
And the farmora are coming with banners
unfurled.
Choupb
Old time politicians your days are at hand,
No more thall your perfidy ruin the land;
The farmers are rousing to labor's appeal,
And soon the lull weight of their vengeance
you'll feel.
Cuorub-
They each hold a ballot unt.-ammelled and
free
No mortgage on that and there never shall be;
And boldly they'll cast it for freedom and
right,
Till every oppression shall vanish from eight.
-A. L. K.
Jay Gould's Modest Wants.
My wants are few; I soorn to be
A querulous refiner;
I only want America
And a mortgage deed of China;
And if kind fate threw Europe in ,
And Africa and Asia,
And a few islands of the sea,
I'd ask no other treasure.
Give me but these they are enough
To suit my humble notion
And I'll give up to other men
All land beneath the ocean ;
I Those vast untitled, ungathered Holds,
So fertile and prolific,
That untrod acreage of soil
The bed oi the Pacific).
I only want to own the earth, . i
Asa regulate and man it;
My wants are all contracted down
To Just one little planet.
A desert tent was good enough
For Abraham and Sarah,
And I'd give all my fellow-men
A bouse-lot In Sahara!
Adair Co. Farmer.

Leon, la., Oct. 27. Special The
Lincoln Journal has been received here
and the allegations of that sheet that A.
M. Post did not promise to marry the
woman he seduced has created great in
dignation. Because of these attacks the friends of
this woman have consented and advised
that names be made public.
This woman is the wife of Robert J.
Critchiield, editor of the Weldon, De
catur county. Hornet. Her maiden name
was M. A. Jordan, and she was the
daughter of John Jordan, for years
county treasurer of Decatur couuty, and
one of the best known Masons in south
ern Iowa.
Mrs. Critchfield was asked to-day if
she desired to make a statement.
"I had hoped," said she, "to be kept
out of this affair, but now as it has been
claimed by some friendsof Mr. Post that
he did not promise to marry me, and by
others that ho acted to shield a third
party, who was the father of my child,
there is nothing left for me but to tell
the whole truth. It is true that A. M.
Post is the father of the child, and his
parentage became possible only by the
solemn promise of marriage. I was then
but 10 years old ana only 17 when the
boy was born. It is true that he deeded
to ina fortv acres ot land that 1 after
wards sold for $150, and g.ive money
ai.d notes amounting to $160." Here is

The Ghost of Dead Sin.
In years long past, the Tears of my youth
I committed a Bin 'gainst right aud truth,
A sin ot so deep and heinous die,
I would lain conceal it from mortal eye;
So 1 dug a grave while night dews wept,
In the midnight hours wniie otners slept,
Afar from tbe haunte of h -nest men,
In the darksome woods ot oblivion;
there buried my sin as I hoped for aye,
Mot knowing sin sleeps, buicanuot die.
I retraced my steps and once again
Mingled with true aud loraimuu.
Mingled as equal with men whom I
Was unworthy tbeir shoe strings to untie.
Fortune emiied, and 1 seemed to be
A favored chi d of prosperity.
Wealth and honor were mine, and fame
Seemefl about to crown my honored name.
Men applauded and called me good
And 1 alinosi torgwt the grave in tho wood.
When lo, one night e'en as I slept
Sale and secure, a wierd thing crept
Hut of the grave in the silent wood
In to my room, and there it stood.
(jaunt and ghastly, and green with mold.
And it taid to the world, ' Beholal Behold!''
And lo. 1 tell from my honored piuce
beep in the mire of dire disgrace.
And the gbost, from which 1 would gladly flee,
mis on my pillow and laughs with glee.

TITE HOOUS RESOLUTIONS.
The State Journal published a set of
resolutions purporting to come from Grand
River lodge No 78, A. F. and A. M., in
which A. M. Post is lauded to the skies.
The facts are these: There was no lodge
meeting on the 21st day of October, 1891.
Second degree was to be conferred, but
no officers were pieseut to open the lodge,
only nine member! being there. N. P.
Bullock t e-tilied that the resolutions were
uountmously adopted at a meeting of
Grand River Indue No. 78. This is false
and the records show that no meeting was
held and when Bullock attac hed the seal
of the lodge to the bogus resolutions he
knew and ail Masons kuow lie overstepped
his authority and used the high office to
further his ends.
C. VV. Beck, Master Mnson of Gra.id
River lodge, says when Secretary Bullock
attached the seal of the lodge to the sei
of resolutions exonerating feat, he usur
ped his authority; further-there was no
mating held.
W. P. Moore, Master Mason, says there
was no meeting held.
Ed. K. I'll man, Matter Mason, said 'hire
whs no meeting on tbe night in question.
Mr. Pitman said Secretary Bullock had no
right to send out the sesolutions as coming
Iron a Masonic lodge. It was a nio&!
damnable proceeding.
SEEKS REINSTATEMENT.
The record of tho Masonic lodge will
show the suspension of A. M. Po-t on the
charge of seducing a Master Mason's
daughter.
After Post left for Cape Verde islands
he began in 13S than one year to seek re
instatement. It has been stated that Post
never sought reinstatement but once. This
is false. Post asked to be reinstated at
every regular meeting after perhaps a
lapse of one year as at that time Masonic
rules allowed applications for reinstate
ment to come up at every regular
met ting. Law has since been changed.
Finally he returned.
One night, when only nine members
were present, Post's reinstatement took
place. That was tbe night of October 24,
is?6, four years and six months after he
was suspended. He did not remain here
long after that, and was demitted on
January 23, 1877.
If Post will give permission to have
the records printed the World Herald
need say no more. They will tell their
own story. If Post is innocent tho rec
ords will show it, and old men here who
were Masons when Post was a boy stand
awed at Post's perfidy in denying the'
charge.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HIM.
On October 24 the Lincoln Journal
published an article intended to clear
Post of these charges. Tnis was signed
by John VV. Harvey, J. E. Brooks, M.
F. Stookey, VV. II. Albaugh, Francis
Varga, Stephen Varga, L. P.Seigler, T.

Now to the facts: Whon Post was a
resident of Leon and when he left here
in 1877, none of tbe following named
parties who signed the above list lived
here, the? having moved here since he
left for Nebraska. They are: Brooks,
Stookey, Albaugh, Wharton, Stockton,
Watsalkugh, Woods, McConn. Haw
kins, Boone, Wheeler, Van Werden,
Granstaff, Alexander. Parrish, Lefollett,
Young, Schenck and Allen. Dr Brown,
who signed the petition has resided here
but three years. At tho time Post was
suspended from tho Masonic ledge Will
A. Brown was a baby. That was twen
ty years ago, and he is now 23, and he
signed. Next in the infant list conies
W. P, Clark, who was also a baby at the
time the trouble occurred. George E.
Hurt bad not seen half a dozen sunny
Decatur coxnty summers whon Post was
in trouble. Next on the infantile list
comes Stephen Varga, who wasn't old
enough to feed himself. Caster was on
ly a boy, and C. E. Hurst ditto. These
infante declared that Post was their
former fellow citizen and friend,
and that he steod well here and in
thia vicinity. The list endorsing A. M.
Post is composed of forty-four signa
tures. Of this number twenty never
knew Post and moved to Leon after be
had taken Greeley's advice and gone
west, and seven of them were children
at the time of Post's residonce there.
This leaves seventeen who kewhim.
Several of these told the writer that
when they signed tho communication
they did so to please Lay ton, the brother-in-law
of Post, not because they be
lieved Post innocent of the charge.
Others have expressed a wish that their
name? had not been attached to the
article.
Last week S. A. Gates and N. P. Bul
lock visited Weldon, and the former
called on Mrs. Critchiield, in behalf of
Mr. Post and the republican party, and
asked her to dictate a reply smoothing
over the facts. She was undecided
what to say, and he asked her to think
it over and commuuicate with him thd
next day. She did think it over, and
the more she thought the more indig
nant she became. Her reply to Mr.
Gates was a justly indignant refusal to
be a party to his whitewashing of Post
They will not dare to impeach her or
her character after this.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 27. There ia a
remarkable boy in the New Jersey re
form school at Jamesburg, who has
been a ward of the state because he is
not safe to be at large. He is only 6
years old, but has the mannerism and
maturity of a young man of 20 and the
moustache of a man much oider. He is
called by the medical men who have ex
amined him a precocious baby and a
wonder in more ways than one, His
name is Herman Hotter. He stands
over four feet in his stocking feet, and
can hit from the shoulder with the force
of a sledge. A test of his lifting powers
shows that he can move a barrel of
flour and lift easily a 200-pound weight.
His parents are poor and have found it
impossible to control him. The bov is
not only the admiration ot his compan

est heats over made in a race. The

Hal Pointer drew a crowd of nearly six
thousand people, and the beting was
lively on the native horse, Hal Pointer.
Tl.u race was for a purse of $:J,000, best
three in five. Both horses were cheered
when they came out. The superiority
of Direct was clearly shown. He would
take the lead and hold it all the way
around. Hal Pointer was pushed to
the utmost extent, but whenever the
great gelding came uncomfortably close
Starr tapped Direct lightly, the re
sponse would be immediate and the
little black stallion would draw away.

FIGHTING THE BIG FAIR.
Labor t'nlonl to Ask Congress to Make
No Further Appropriations.
Chicago, Oct. 27. A local paper says
that hostility to the world's fair man
agement has been revived in some of
the trades unions of the city and that it
is now proposed to carry the war to the
house of representatives and defeat if
possible any further appropriation. At
the last meeting of the Carpenters'
council a committee was appointed to
confer with the other trade and labor
organizations of the city to get the
movement under way at once. The
matter will be brought up before every
labor organization in the city. It is
also intended to ask the co-operation of
labor organizations throughout the
United States to exert their influence
with their representatives in congress
to prevent any additional appropriations
for the world's fair.
The reason given for all this is that
the local managers of the fair discrimi
nate against members of trade and
labor unions in employing men to work
at the fair grounds.
Anniversary of Catholicism in Minnesota.
St. Paul, Oct. 27.-Archbishop Ire
land has addressed a letter to the clergy
of the diocese of St. Paul, calling atten
tion to the significance of Nov. 1 in the
history of the Catholic church in Minne
sota. On that date the first little chapel
in the territory was blessed by Rev.
Lucien Oaultier. The archbishop
recommends that the fiftieth annivesary
of the establishment of Catholicism in
the state be celebrated in each parish
on tbe date named with all possible
spendor.
Adjourned Court for Harvest.
Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 27. The
term of court of Foster county was ad
journed sine die by Judge Rose for the
reason that to call a jury would take
many fanners from the fields aud wit
nesses from the threshing crews. The
necessities of farm work appears greater
to the judge than holding a term of
court. It is likely that an adjournment
will also be had in Griggs county fjr
the same reason.

Montreal, Que., Oct. 27. Mgr.
O'Brien, domestic prelate to the pope.
who carried the beretta to Cardinal
Taschereau in 1887, and who ia at pre
sent here, eaid: "The talk about the
pope leaving Rome, I believe, ia all
imaginary. I do not think the
pope has even for an instant
thought if it. The pope did
not win his position by arms. It
was handed down to him since the days
of St. Peter. Pope Leo XIII. asserted
often that Pius IX. declared that it was
impossible for him to accept tbe posi
tion the Italian government had created
for him in Rome and these were sokmn
words.
"Rome has belonged to the nones
since the fall of the German empire.and
2,00(i years gives them a prescriptive
ana legal rigut watch no revolution can
npset. Till the Italian government
forces the pope out he will never go. Of
course if they were to storm the Vatican
he might be obliged to flee. It is
likely that the Italian government will
resort to force, judging from the men
aces of the revolutionists. They have
already declared the Vatican to be gov
ernment property, ana nave made tne
pope a subject of the government and
amenable to all Italian laws.
"Things may last for another twenty-
one years. The present government, I
neiteve, nas- no intention ot driving
things to extremes. Italians are not al
lowed to speak or hold public meetings
in defense of the pope. Italy has de
clared that King Humbert's right to
Rome is in tangible, but the pope thinks
otherwise. He considers his rights over
the Italian city as sacred."
The Hark Went Dowd.
London, Oct. 27. A disastrous col
lision between the steamer Boston and
the bark Charlwood off the Eddvstone
rocks, occurred about 4 a. m., when it
was intensely dark and the wind blow
ing a strong gale. The people on the
bark hardly had a glimpse of tbe Boston
before the collision, and as the steamer
struck them the bark began to sink al
most at the same instant. The Charl
wood was almost cut in two. Captain
Hiscocks, of the ill-fated vessel, stood on
the poop and as coolly as if on a summer
sea gave orders for the lowering o( the
lifeboat. The boat was lowered, the
seamen obeying as bravely as their cap
tain ordered. The women and apprent
ice boys entered the boat which was
about to put off, when the bark gave a
sudden lurch and foundered. Th
davits struck the life . boat and

made it capsize, and the womea
and boys were thrown into the angry
sea. Their shrieks were heard for sev
eral moments, nntil most of them wera
wept oat of sight under the waves. A
seaman named Jones seized the daugh
ter of the captain, aged 13 years. She
was the darling of the crew. Jonea
held her across a plank nntil the boats,
which had instantly pnt off from the
Boston, came to the rescue. A schooner
named the Albion happened to be pass
ing. Her crew heard the shrieks of tho
drowning women, and hastened to give
assistance. They rescue eeven. Two
of the survivors, battered and exhausted,
were taken to the hospital at Falmouth.
Tbe pilot had left the Charlwood only,
an hour previous, wishing captain and
crew a prosperous voyage.
The Bale of the Shillalah.
Dublin, Oct. 27. Dillon and O'Brien

persing the mob. The town is fnll of
adherents of either faction, armed with,
shillalahs, and a serious fight is likely
to occur at any moment.
