speech--Mr. John Brennan, Of
Sioux City-has now come before
the country with q conspicuous dem.
unstration OF bis remarkable ability
He spoke to the great Irish-Ameri.
man meeting in Gew York last Mon
day night and made the speech OF
the evening. All the New York
papers, irrespective of party, pro-
nounced it as having been a noted
aud mastery speech, and the repub-
lean papers are now reprinting it
with the warmest of tributes to the
orator Tor his courage, eloquence and
power. We print elsewhere to-day
the New York Tribune's version of
the speech. Editorially the Trib-
une praises the speaker and his
speech with unusual fervor. There
can be no doubt that it was an ef,
fort of marked power. nor that it
has produced a great impression on
the country at large. The report of
the Philadelphia Press dwells with
much eulogy on Mr.. Brennan's
speech, and says, "he played on

The Power Of Speech.

Hampton Recorder:-A boy 10
years old out in the street of a quiet
village on a calm simmer afternoon
can make the air culver and startle
the doing population out ola years
peace by shrieking at a boy three
quarters Of a mile away-"Oh,
Skinnee! Comm nout tafter snpper?:'
And the other boy will yell back
with awful distinctiveness and say
Yes! Getyer niggershooter'n
an come to the store!' And they
will converse in the same thrilling
pitch and maddening force if they
are only ten feet apart. But, TWEEN
ty OF thirty years afterward, either
of those boys will get up to adj
dress a public meeting in a hall not
fifty feet deep, and ten feet away
from the speaker not a living soul
can hear a word he says.

year ago Mr.. Brown was as hearty
and robust a person as there was in
Union county, but last fall ne con-
tracted a cold which turned into
quick consumption, and the end
which occurred last Friday has been
daily and hourly expected by his
friends for the past two or three
weeks. He was a young man Of
good character, quiet disposition
and well liked by all who knew
him. The Odd Fellows Lodge Of
this city of which he was a mem
Der, has had the care of Mr.. Brown
tor the past few months, and the
members of the same have endeav-
ored to make his last days as pleas
ant and comfortable as possible.
The funeral took place at the Bap-
fist church on Sunday at 10a O'Clock
A. NJ. conducted in part 10y the Odd
Fellows, the funeral sermon being
preached by Rev. G. w. Freeman.
A large concourse of people were

gregational and Methodist churches
assisting in the services. Besides
the constant watching and care the
Odd Fellows have drawn from their
treasury something over $500 in
cash for the benefit of their depart
ed brother. Citizens out side of the
Lodge desired to contribute some
thing towards the expenses of
taking care of Mr.. Brown and asum
of $500 was raised last week and
added to the sum above.

bushels to every family. Alta mod
crate estimate for consumption
and seed this leaves a surplus Of an
average Of 1926 bushels to each FAM
lily. AT 81 a bushel the surplus
viii bring into the territory an
enormous sum Of money. Butt is

There + the oats, barley and rye
crops. Flax is getting to be a large
crop i'll Dakota. Dakota corn
promises a magnificent return. The

MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram, April 26.-
The Milwaukee, Lake Shore 4 Western Rail
way company, through it's president, E.
Rhinelander, and general manager, Il. H.
Reid, yesterday effected the purchase of the
ten miles of railway between Onconto and
Stiles, known as the St Paul Eastern Grand
Trunk road. The organization of the Grand
Trunk is to be continued, with such changes
IN the directory and management as the Lake
shores interests may demand. The Grand
Trunks board of control and q majority of
the directors have resigned and the vacan-
cles filled by Lake Shore people. The pur-
pose of the Lake Shore company is to extend
their new road from Stiles, on the Wiscon-
sin 4 Michigan road, it's western terminus.
to Eland junction, on the main line of the
Lake Shore. From Eland junction the Lake
shore has a spur running up to Wausau.
which is but thirty miles from Abbottsford''
on the Wisconsin Central. Abbottsford is on
the Centrars direct line to Chippewa Falls
and st. Paul, SO that the Lake Shore will have
to build D~utninety-five miles to the st Paul
Eastern Grand trunk to form with the Wis
consin Central a direct line from Oconto, on
Green Bay, west to 81. Paul. It is
thought that the sixty-fve miles necessary
70 connect Wausau with Oconto will be built
by the Lake Shore people this season, in
which case work on the northwestern extern
sion OF their main line. from Agagebic to the
Montreal river, will be discontinued. The
Milwaukee d Northern company will CON
ttnue to use the st Paul Eastern Grand
Trunk from Stiles to Oconto, as 1t has done
Tor . year or more.

Thousands of people in South Caro-.
lima, owing to the drouth which pre-.
vailed from last May until December,
are undergoing the pangs Of hunger and
have not the means to purchase food.
It is said that men, women, and little
children are undergoing unparalleled
privations, and facing death with a stole
ism that should command both sym.
pathy and admiration from the Christian
people. They have made no outcry,
sent out no appeal to the public; but
have suffered on in silence, being too
proud to beg and too honest to steal.
There are people with large plantations
who are so hedged in that bread is bare.
ly attainable. So long as they had any.
thing to spare whites and blacks helped
each other, but now that supplies are
wholly exhausted all are sharing the
general calamity. The Marion Index,
of the 7th inst, says that in no year
since the war have provisions been Sc
scarce and that hundreds in Marion
county are literally without bread. Just
what is true of this county is equally
true of others.
