EAT AS 1ou RIDE The Chicago &
Northwestern Railway comes to the
front again in a manner to attract the
attention of all who every have occasion
to patronize railroads. The facilities
and accommodation they have hereto
fore offered in the way Of passenger train
equipment have, been ample; the day
coaches, parlor ears. chair cars and
sleeping ears not being cxccllcd by any,
and on March LIST, they aided TO tie
above list, and at the same time To the
convenience and comfort of its patrons,
new and elegant dining ears, to be run
upon the trains Of the Chicago, ST. Paul
& Minneapolis line, between Chicago
and St. Paul.
These cars are complete in every par
ticular and were constructed for use
upon this line, consequently, with a
thorough knowledge Of the needs Of The
line. This company hayefor some time
been operating dining ears between
Chicago and Council Bluffs. Iowa, and
their success has prompted tliis move,
tlcy have demonstrated the fact that
he public are not slow 10 show their
appreciation Of good thing This new
departure Of the Northwestern will
meet with substantial response lay
the travelling public of the Northwest.
In this respect as in many others. the
Northwestern takes the lead Of all com
petitors, as it is the only line running
dining cars of any description, north Of
Chicago. The advantages of dining
cars can bc stated briefly as follows
First. as they are run With the train you
can take your time in eating without
fear Of being left; again. the meals serv-
ed will equal those to be had at any Of
our first class hotels. Then the time
usually taken for meals can be- used in
running. consequently. shorten mp the
time between distant points in proper
ton.
The price fixed upon for meals is very
reasonable, considering the quality and
quantity furnished for seventy-fve
cents. The names Of the cars ON the
Northwestern lines are, Leland.

viii Wait for a Rise.

BosToN, Mass, March A special
dispatch from Fall River says : THE
question of shutting down the mills for
a certain period has been agitated for
some days past. the outlook in the
print cloth market and the general feel
ing of depression in all business con-
neeted with the manufacture of cotton
leading to this result. The manufac-
turers claim that at present prices and
in view of the slackening demand for
goods at fair frofit a general shut
down would be only legitimate means
of giving tone to the market and plac-
ing the mills in position where there
may be a healthy demand for their pro-
ducts. Probably no action well be tax
en- until the approach of milder weather
but the question is under discussion.
and, if there is no change for the better
in the goods market, shut down is

Another Attempt upon the Life OF Queen Victoria
at Mindsor Stafion


at Windsor station.
LONDON, March ,. p. m.-As the
Queen was entering her carriage this
evening a man in the station yard de-
liberately fired pistol at her. The
man, who was miserable looking OBJ
ject, was Immediately seized by several
policemen and taken to the Windsor
Police Station. No one was hurt.
The Queen drove of to the castle inn
mediately after she was fired at The
miscreant was followed TO the police
station by large crowd of people.
LONDON, March S.--From later inn
formation it appears that Mclean fired
the shot after the carriage was in mo-
ton. Princess Beatrice and John Brown
saw him point the pistol at the carriage
He was exactly thirty PAGES distant
when he fired. Two of the four loaded
chambers of the revolver contained
only blank cartridges A witness of the
shooting states that MacLean was OBJ
served fumbling in his pocket while the
Queen was being helped into the car
riage, but the pressure of the crowd pre-
vented him raising his arm until the
carriage was in motion. The same
cause made him aim very wide. The
bullet found in the station yard weighs
about one-third of an ounce. 1t has
been compared with others found on
Mael.ean, and found to correspond
with them exactly. Before the revolver
was seized, the prisoner had brought
another loaded chamber opposite the
hammer, MacLean's antecedents show
that he is eccentric. AMI addicted to
drink.
1t appears that MacLeal roughly en-
deavored to force his way through the
Eton College students, who were at the
station, to a good position 20 await the
passage of the Queen, and consequent
hustling prevented his having an oppor-
tunlty to fire when he might have done
SO with worse result MacLean
walked from Portsmouth to London 4
week ago. Upon his person was found
a purse containing penny and three
farthings, and pocketbook containing
the following entries

MacLean was charged at the police
station Nth shooting at the Queen, with
intent to do grevous bodily harm He
asked whether any one was hurt but the
police refused tosgive him any informa-

After searching the yard at the rail
way station for an hour this morning,
the police found a small bullet imbedded
in the ground. 1t bore the marks of
having first struck some other object
1t was right in the direction of the spot
over which the Queens carriage was
passing, having probably passed over
the horses heads.
The Queen and Princess Beatrice

nounced that the Queen passed q good

Apportionment Plans and the Chances of Each

For Final Success.
Special Dispatch TO the Sunday Telegraph.
MADISON, March Among the CON
gressional apportionment schedules is
one by Senator Rock Flint, of Dunn
county. 1t contains the same feature of
weakness which many others dot
classes Milwaukee county as unques-
tionably republican, because it has gone
republican for the last few years. But
the fact is, that while the republicans
are to be regarded as permanently
divorced from the temperance party,
and hence are not likely to encounter a
hostile German, uprising on that ac-
count, still the German vote is decidedly
unreliable, and Milwaukee is rather
more likely than otherwise To return
Mr.. Deuster for another term. This
would give the democrats three men,
bers according to Senator Flint scheme.
In other respects IL is peculiar 1t
places Dane county, with Senator Bur-
rows md f. w Keyes, who are recog-
nized congressional candidates. in the
3D. district. with Congressman Hazelton.
which is not satisfactory to any of them.
1t has, however, many good and attrac-
tive features.
The appoltionment plan Of Insurance
Commissioner p. J.. Spooner, however.
appears 10 attract the most approval.
1t is not acceptable to Congressman
Pounds friends, because Il puts Jack
son county. with W. r. Price and Eau
Claire county, with its crowds Of aspir-
ing statesmen, in his district, and he
thinks Price and his Eau Claire rivals
should remain in the 9TH district, where
they now are. There viii be a strong
effort to amend il in this respect, and il
viii probably be adopted when modified,
or win form the basis for the plan
which win finely be adopted.
As yet, however, the committee is
exercising its ingenuity on the senate
and assembly districts, and have not
tackled the congressional districts.
There are countless rival and conflicting
interests in the legislative districts, and
it is now apparent that the bill, how
ever it may finally be shaped, will en-
counter opposition at every stage of its
passage, and will considerably prolong
the session

COLD COMFORT.
Sharp Survey Of Judge Cothren's past Career
and Desire for ONCE.


We presume that the supporters of
Mr.. Cothren will admit that he falls
short Of. the ideal man and the ideal
judge. He does not possess all the vlr-
tues, and an important one which he
has signally failed to cultivate is mod
esty. His lack of this virtue was sig
nally illustrated by his remarks at Lam
caster in response to the gentlemen who
presented him the calls which have been
so industriously circulated through the
cities, towns, villages and school dis
tricts of this judicial circuit for six or
eight weeks past. These same remarks
indicate that the person who made them
very greatly underestimate the intelli-
gence of the people. If Judge Cotlren's
modesty was not of a minus quantity he
would not have said to the people of this
circuit that these petitions were pres
ented without any request, suggestion
or connivance upon his part; neither
would he have said that he was elected
circuit judge for the present term against
his remonstrance, and absolute refused
to be candidate The people OF the
counties composing this judicial circuit
have been three times called upon 20
vote for Judge Cothren within six years.
He appears to have become convinced
that because he was elected Judge over
an able lawyer and upright man, that
his popularity is without limit and that
his capacity for serving the people is
UNNECESSARILY superior to any other
man. He has sought office with an avi-
dity and persisteney unparalleled in the
history of southwestern Wisconsin,. He
has been the candidate of the demo-
cratic party for the highest judicial Office
in the state-justice of the supreme
court. He was nominated for that Office
by the democratic members of the legis-
lature through solicitations made by him
self and few admirers of his--mainly
the members of the legal fraternity who
participated in the surprise CD which
he experienced because of the presenta-
ton of the calls at Lancaster two weeks
ago. For that Office he was defeated BY
80, 1873 majority notwithstanding his
personal visits to different parts of the
state and his urgent appeals for support.
This overwhelming defeat more disas-
trous than ever experienced by any other
candidate for that office--is proof of the
fact that there was no demand for his
candidature outside of his own inordin-
ate ambition; and also proof of the fact
that his reputation as jurist is not so
great as his friends have been willing to
concede it to be. His candidacy for
congress has not been forgotten-his
Waterloo defeat was a great victory for
the republicans. These quickly sue
ceeding appeals to the people for office;
the personal applications for votes; the
undignified spectacle of circuit Judge
on the stump in his own behalf as the
candidate of party for a political Office
have not increased the esteem in
which Judge Cothren was held by the
people and what is more to be regret
ted have not increased respect for the
law or its administration Prairie du

Immediately to her hotel. This is not

her vitality will pull her through safely;
but it appears that the attack on this
particular occasion was more serious
than ever before, and the many admirers
of the great actress genius are very
