W. K Vanderbilt, the son of W. H. Wander
bilt and president of the Nickel Plate reached
Chicago on Friday last. The newspaper people
tried to interview him, but he would not be in
terviewed, and claimed that he came out west for
the purpose of doing little hunting. All he
would say about the Nickel Plate is that it was
doing as well as could be expected, and that the
prospects for increased earnings were very good
He claimed to be wholly ignorent about eastern
passenger and freight complications, and de-
clared that MS trip cut west had nothing what
ever to. do with these matters. He was ON q
pleasure trip. The Tribune man followed up MIR.
Vanderbilt and found out enough about him to
show that it was railroad game he was after and
not plover or prairie chicken, as will be seen
from the following extract from the Tribune:
Although Mr.. Vanderbilt claims that this is
purely pleasure trip, yet the indications are
that business has something to do with it, Mr..
Vanderbilt had lengthy conference with Presi-
dent Newell of the Lake Shore, President Led
yard of the Michigan Central, and Vice President
Caldwell of the Nickel-Plate yesterday forenoon.
and it is the opinion that the eastern freight and
passenger complications were fully discussed
and plan of action in the impending conflict
agreed upon. Another subject which is claimed
to have been up for discussion between Messrs.
Vanderbilt, Newell and Caldwell was the con-
tnued decrease in earnings of the Nickel-Plate
and the heavy burden the road is proving upon
the Lake Shore, which guaranteed its bonded
Indebtedness. There is no doubt q desire on the
part Of the Lake Shore to shake OFF the yoke,
but what result was reached has not trarspired.
In the afternoon MIR. Vanderbilt and Messrs.
Newell, Ledyard and Caldwell visited the freight
houses of their respective roads and inspected
the terminal facilities. Mr. Vanderbilt and
party leave for the west via the Northwestern
this morning

DULUTH SCORCHED.
Little & SimOnds' Saw and Planning
Mills Burned, With Millions of
Feet OF Lumber.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 23.-Duuth suffered
tonight more seriously by fire than ever before
The large saw mill of Little d Simonds, and one
of the best in this city, caught fire at o'clock
this evening and was entirely consumed From
the mill the flames went to the firms planning
mill and destroyed that, and then to the lumber
yards, consuming great quantity of lumber on
hand, being $500, 900 feet. Ii is now midnight
and the flames burning with undated fury
Every effort was made TO stay their progress,
but it was impossible. Before the Are had
burned long stif breeze sprung up, which
helped it along. The loss is now set at S125 900,
being $4,000 on the saw mill, and S2O,0 900 on the
planning mill and the balance on the lumber
The insurance about $40 600. 1t is lmpos
sible to get the companies at this hour. Little
Simonds, owners of the mills, owned 3,2OOOO(
feet of the lumber, and Cutter & Gilbert $500
600. The latter had 100000 on their lumber,
making Little & Simonds insurance about $780,
900. The origin of the fire is not known.

in the position. He labors hard for victory, and
the worst thing that can be said about him is
that he ''kicks'' too often on the diamond. His
exhibition of temper in the eighth inning, over a
decision by the umpire, was not worth the time
used in his vehement protest. His playing was
good. Brewers delivery is somewhat wild and
not very hard to hit. Raney is
probably the best man in the
team. Certain it is that he is the best batter.
He made total Of five bases yesterday, and
there are not many pitchers whose delivery he
cannot hit. Patten is a fine short stop, and
though he made two errors, these do not repre-
sent his average fielding. After playing together
few days the team will be able to win games.
Arundel started in to pitch for st. Paul, but his
arm gave out in the fifth inning and O'Brien
finished in the pitchers position. The latter was
hit safe but twice, and with sharp fielding no
runs would have been made off him. Dealey was
hit with the ball late in the game and laid out for
q few minutes, but he came to the front again
aud pluckily played the game out. His playing
is creating a favorable impression in st. Paul.
Werrck at short is doing himself credit. He
made two errors, to be sure, but it should be
membered that he accepted nine chances. DON
nelly's umpirng was better than that of the gen
tleman who essayed TO fill the umpires position
on the two previous days, but his calling of balls
and strikes was far from correct at times
The game opened with Winona at the bat, and
the first three men failed to get the ball outside
the diamond For St. Paul Carroll got his base
on tumble by third, took second on Henge's
hit to center field, and went out on felder's
choice on Barnes grounder to second, Barnes
going to second and Hengle to third Rainey
didn't stop O'Briens hot grounder, and Hengle
scored, Barnes following him TO the plate on
passed ball, OBrien going around to third and
home on Dunn's hit to right. Dealey reached first
on shorts tumble and Dunn was cut off from
catcher to third Dealey going to second stealing
third, and going to the plate muff by the
pitcher Of Il thrown ball from the catcher. Wer-
rick struck out. st. Paul scored two more runs
in the fifth inning. Carroll made good hit to
center, went to second on passed ball, and tai
lied on Hengle's hit to right, the latter taking
second committing larceny third and scoring
on Barnes out at center. Winona scored three
runs in the third inning base balls by
Umback, hits by Laor, Brewer and Raney, and
an overthrow by Carroll to the plate. Two more
runs were secured by the visitors in the sixth in
ming on base on balls by Patten, hit by Con-
nors, and errors by Carroll and Werrick. Fol-

John Matheis, the carpet king is one of the
men who never cries hard times. Dropping in at

ply house decorations equal to
the best the country affords. He is
fitting up the formerly used by the First
National bank, but about to be occupied by
Ransom Il Horton, and the beauty OF that work
is a guarantee of the decoration Mr.. Matheis
supplies. He is always up to the times with the
latest styles III every department.

giving public attention is through such
mode OF advertising. The advertiser is never
certain of any adequate return from this out
lay. Those who receive circulars regard
them as worthless and treat them with a
measure of contempt little dreamed OF by
the advertiser. This class of advertisers
overlook the true and valuable mode OF
advertising, and waste money that might be
better invested. A we'll circulated newspaper
is the best and the cheapest medium through
which the advertiser may communicate
with the public. The newspaper goes every
where, into business places, into family
residences, and is leisurely and carefully,
read, and judicious and honest advertis-
ing in its columns, is sure to bring hand
some and wholesome returns The newspa-
per is not sighted and cast aside unread, as
circulars are.
Many dry goods house or medicine house
or other business establishments has built
up large fortune in the cities, by judicious
and persistent, and attractive advertising in
newspapers, of wares worth the buying, and
of necessity to the people. The true philos-
ophy is.to concentrate all advertising eXpen-
ditures, in newspapers of wide circulation
and valuable returns are sure to come. An
other prime consideration in successful ad-
vertising, is, not to advertise spasmodically
infrequently, but permanently, always and
at all seasons. A newspaper advertiser might
almost as well take down his sign from his
door and draw down his window curtains as
to withdraw his name as an advertiser from
the newspaper where he has been accustomed
to advertise.

flies for wv nty-hve cents, cricket for thirty

offer includes hearty meals made from other
loathsome objects not necessary to mention, In
the case OF the scorpions and the centipedes he
Is selfconsiderate enough to kill the sting be-
fore swallowing them.
Writers of the old school would want no
better analogue, or apology descriptive of the
campaign Of American presidential candi-
dates just now, than the offer of this nom
descript champion. He is typical of the par
tisan editor without decency or conscience.
He will not strain at anything-but he has
his prices. The swallowing process is graded
but the centipede lie, the one with the
most feet, fctches high price and the scor-
pion SANDER most of all. The proposition

The attributing of the weakness of the roof
of the state capitol to ''natural settling by
some newspapers on general architectural prin-
ciples, is about as thin gravy. The only mat
ural settling" which will take place will be when
the legislature is called upon to pass an appro-
priation to pay for mending the whole interior of
this structure, for which mending a good sized
bill has been run up nearly every month since
its architectural creator passed it over, took his
contract pay, end pretended to call it ssgood. -
In addition to the fearful bill of repairs for Au-
gust will have to be added the substitution Of
the five inch main line of steam pipe leading
through the cavern from the boiler house to the
northeast corner Of the capitol basement by new
seven inch pipe.
