territory. He was earnestly identified with
all the early political, educational and agri-
cultural interests Of the state up to 1860,
when the failure Of his eyesight forced his
retirement from politics and active life. He
was member Of the Iowa Territorial lesis-
laturc and twice elected 10 the State legisla-
tnre after admission to the Union in 1916,
the capital of which could only be reached
by overland conveyance, bat Mr.. Weyands Is
customary way Of travelling was on horse
back. He was member Of the Coustitu-
tional Convention Of ls44, which was con-
vened to adopt constitution to be submit
ted TO Congress for the admission Of Iowa
into the Union of states. He was appointed
as member Of the Capital Commission.
He was q prominent candidate for Senator
in 1850 from Jefferson county. but declined
on account of an eye malsdy from which he
never recovered, and which finally resulted
in total blindness.
The private character Of the deceased is
full of noble deeds, and one in every way
worthy of emulation; man with great
heart and noble impulses, the honor and in
tegrity of whom was never questioned, but
few men live in whom could be placed such

L/wnL Ir?-The Philadelphia Press Of Fri
day says: the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany only desired to effect the transfer OF
the South Pennsylvania and Beech Creek
properties if it could do so legally. 1t can
now further be said that if the courts de-
clare the sale legal, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road will proceed TO finish the South Penn
Road, and use it as third and fourth track
between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Some
years ago the business Of the Pennsylvania
required the construction of four tracks be-
tween New York and Harrisburg. and the
company has been gradually making this
improvement. II is only question oftime
when the same facilities will be necessary
between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, If j, has
not already arrived, and it was no doubt all
along the intention to use the South Penn
lsylvania for this purpose. The new road
Will open new country, and it would be
more economical for the Pennsylvania TO
build its third and fourth track on the line
already graded, and known as the South
Pennsylvania. than to construct them in
close proximity TO the present double-track
road The South Pennsylvania is some dis
rance shorter than the old Pennsylvania
track from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, and
the Pennsylvania lines southeast of the lat
ter city could be used to advantage il the
courts allow the arrangement to be carried
out. This seems to be the only feasible
plan of building the South Pennsylvania.
If the courts should deny the right of the
Pennsylvania TO purchase, it is not now
likely that Mr.. Vanderbilt would care TO
build the road, and his associates in the
South Pennsylvania syndicate would not
continue the enterprise with him in view Of
his alliance with the Pennsylvania.

You hear a great deal of talk about
being too laxative, said a barber yester-
day, but let me tell you that the barber
who doesn't talk isn't any good. He
isn't popular with the trade and he doesn't
make a good workman. You see, a man
comes in and he gets into the chair, and
the barber commences shaving him with
out saying a word. The man who is
being shaved has nothing to think about
except himself, and he Immediately begins
to kick about the razor. Now, n of
those go~od-natured, laxative BARRIERS
would take that same mar and commence
talking politics and the weather, the po-
lice and the skating rink to him. and
there would never be the slightest kick.
No, sir; the barber could use his oldest.
dullest, and rustiest razor and the man
would never think of complaining, and
when the barber would finish combing his
hair by telling him he had hair Just like
Abe Lincoln or Charles Sumner. he'd
get up and give him a cigar and go off
feeling good natured, and swear that was
the best shop in the city.

Hughes Goes Hence.

The Rawlins Tribune says that d. p.
Hughes, who for two terms held the office
of clerk of that county, has left for parts
unknown, after overdrawing his bank ac-
count several hundred dollars and borrow
ing considerable money from friends. In
a letter to his wife from Omaha, he says
she will never see him again; that here
after he is "a wanderer upon the face of
the earth, etc. No reason for this strange
conduct is known to his friends, and the
affair will probably always remain a mys-
terry. His wife has the sympathy of
everyone.

Mention was made in yesterday
LEADER Of the disappearance Of Messrs.
Benns, Rodgers and Hedge who started
for Sundance last month, and Of whose
whereabouts no tidings had been received
for over three weeks Yesterday a letter
came which contained good news for
many anxious friends in this city. Just
before the party reached Sundance they
encountered heavy snow drifts. They
were delayed many days and eventually
were obliged to turn back l35 miles.
They are all safe now, however. Had no
word been received from them by this
evening Mr.. r. Rodgers intended to start
for Sundance for the purpose of investi-
eating the matter. The letter came lust
in time to save him a long and anxious
Journey.

During Grants administration a law
was passed making eight hours a days
work for government employees. Army
quartermasters stationed in Wyoming
about hat time failed to recognize the
law, or at any rate continued to make the
employees work ten hours a day. Some
months ago a number of government
employees in this vicinity began snit
against the governmental for compensation
for the extra hours. The case is now
pending in the United States Supreme
court and recent information is to the
effect hat a decision in the matter will
soon be announced.

The old Martial Spirit.

1t is not generally known that Mr..
Stephen Bon, the popular shoe man, was
at one time an officer in the Prussian
army Such is the fact, however, and
since the Anglo Russian trouble began
he has felt the old martial spirit surging
across his manly bosom. Some of his
friends have deem joking him about the
war and his enthusiastic interest in war
news, but he stoutly declares that he may
go over and take a hand in the fun
