PASSENGER POOL CONTEMPLATED.

At the meeting of the Southwestern
Railway Association held in Chicago yes
terday morning the following executive
committee was elected: Messrs. r r.
Gable, T. j. Potter, G. H. Chappell, John
G. Gault, and lei. III. Hoxie.
At the meeting of the Iowa Trunk Line
Association, held later, there was lengthy
consideration of the question of rates to
eight competitive points on the Burling
ton, Union Pacific. and Northwestern
roads. An agreement could not be had
Sc the matter was referred to Commissioner
Midgley and Messrs. NJ Hughitt and T. J.
Potter. Nothing was done in regard to
the re organization of the lumber pool.
In the afternoon a meeting of the gen
eral managers and the general pas 7enger
agents was held and the question of a pas
senger pool considered. One plan for pool
ing the business was presented, but not
adopted. Another plan was then read
which provided for passenger agreement
without a pool. Both plans were laid on
the table, and an adjournment had until
Jan when another meeting will be held.

NIGHT posTAL SERVICE.

Mr. James Tall, chief clerk of the rail :
way postal service in Iowa, informs the
press that night service is to be placed on
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. Chi
cage Burlington and Quincy, and Chicago
and Northwestern railroads on the
two lines last named on the 18th of Janu-
airy, and on the c., r. I. s. P. on the 1st of
February.
This will result in through mail ser
vice from Chicago to Omaha, and will do
away with the mail transfers that are made
every evening on the G. g. N. w. trains at
Cedar Rapids, on the Rock Island trains at
Davenport and Iowa City, and ON the c.,
B. g O. trains at Burlington. Heretofore
through mail on these roads has been made
up by the agents, and at the points named
on each evening has been carried West in
separate cars. This arrangement will
result advantageously to the postoffices of
each route; for the work to be done by the
night force is the same that has here
tofore been attended to by the postoffices;
thst is, the night agents are expected to
make up the way pouches on night trains,
and the work will not be left to the way
offices. The new crews have been made
up at headquarters for the night service,
and the agents are indulging in considera
BILE anxiety to know who are the new ap-
pointees.

The funeral of Frederick Letch, of Car
bon Cliff, was to have occurred yesterday.
At the time appointed friends and minis
tiers arrived, the coffin was opened, when
all remarked how lifelike the body looked.
The mother noticed it, too, and got the
impression that her son was not dead.
Prayer was offered and song sung, after
which th3 cortege wended its way to the
burying ground. Upon arrival there and
just prior to a consignment of the departed
to its last resting place, they all again took
look at the remains, when the mother,

mains replaced in the hearse and taken to
her sons residence near by, and postponed
the funeral until tomorrow. The under
taker explained that it was the wash he
furnished that gave the body the natural
and lifelike appearance, but the mother
was not satisfied. To-day word came di-
rect from there that the doctors and all
except the mother were now convinced of

Self Cultivatinr Oats.

The Augusta, Ga, Evening News
is responsible for the following Oat
story:
This is the biggest oat year on
record, and the largest returns come
in from the river precincts below
Augusta. Charlie Cosby, thrifty
colored farmer, who is planting on
the river land of Mr.. Hickman a few
miles from the city. told q prominent
merchant this morning that if any
body in Richmond county MADE fit
ty bushels of oats to the acre he
would do it, and he had not sown a
grain of oats where now stands one
of the finest crops in the county.
The secret of his immense sue
cess with his oats is this Last
year he reaped a very fine crop of
oats, and in the early fall or sum
mer turned the ground under and
planted peas. The peas sprang up
quickly, matured and were cut, leav-
ing big surprise for him in the
shape of springing crop of oats
from the waste seed oflast springs
reaping. The oats grew during the
winter, and are now as fine as any
in the neighborhood of Augusta.
This is tribute indeed to the
extraordinary season and to Char
ley's fine land. The oats now gath
ering were thus made without plant
ing and without one days labor.

in iail. Their arrest was erected
on Thursday, 18th, without distur-
hance or bloodshed. The same day
meetings of the citizens of all
classes were called for Saturday, to
decide the fate of the prisoners.
The plot had been in existence since
1878 and the conspirators now num-
her 400. They have powder, shot
and. guns. They think themselves
sufficiently strong to accomplish
their fiendish design. Sunday night,
the 18th of September, had been ap-
pointed as the date for its consum-
nation The papers. further showed
that this day was selected because
then the white people would be at
camp meeting, unarmed, and could
then offer no resistance.
A meeting called for Saturday
brought together about 700, among
whom were about $50 negroes, who
after having the papers read, by an
almost unanimous vote, decided
that Jack Turner was a turbulent
and dangerous character, a regu-
lar brand in the community
and that the public demanded his
immediate death. He was accord
ingly hung at Is p. m. in the
