horses in the town Of Lafayette, north Of

known from various conferences which have
been had that, while Mr. Cleveland be-
lieves in tariff for revenue only" he is
very reluctant to enter into contest with

which they will regard as an attack upon

pected that the presidents tariff recon-

After Land Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-It is said that
the secretary of the interior has decided to
send a special agent to California to make
thorough investigation of all land titles
which have been obtained from the United
States, or upon which there is the slightest
shadow of fraud. In harmony with this de-
cision Commissioner Sparks, who probably
suggested it, has refused to issue patents to
lands till after reports of the special agent
are received. 1t is said the appointment
has been made and that the agent leaves
next week for California. Such appoint
ments are not made public, as that might
impede the work of the agent.

Deficiency in the Postal Department
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Hazen. in his an
nual report, places the gross receipts of the
postal service for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1885, at $42, $50, ,S44, and the total ex-
penditures $40, ,602, 1SS, leaving deficiency
for the year amounting to 81, ,041, ,344. Gen.
Hazen estimates the gross revenues for the
current fiscal year at $47, 500, 600, and that
the expenditures will exceed this amount
by about 81, 500, 600. He thinks an era of
prosperity has set in, and, on the subject of
the postal revenue as an indicator OF private
business, says:
In no other statistics of either government
or private business are the pulsations OF
trade SO readily and so unerringly distinguish
able as IN postal revenues. The entire coun-
try is tributary to them and every depart
ment of life, whether of business or social
nature, feels the need of the service which
they represent. They derive their susie
nance, however, largely from the demands of
business, and hence they are quick to respond
to the changes from normal conditions.
He devotes considerable space to the
analysis and comparison of postal revenues
since 1873, all of which point to the con-
clusion that the resumption Of business
prosperity has gained a firm basis.

Cutting Flour Rates.

Rumors were current in railroad circles
yesterday that -four was being carried to
Chicago from Minneapolis for Is cents per
100 pounds. a cut of ~ cents from the
rates of the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton. This cut is said to have been going
on for the past week, and an agent of a
certain line is said TO have made visit to
each of the mills and invited them to ship
over the road he represented at the fifteen
and-One- half-cent rate. Agents of the va
rious traffic lines were interviewed. but
each said that rates were strictly main
tanned by their lines. One official said,
however, that he had known the above for
the past four or five days. He said GER
tain shipper had asked him to make GER
tain rate. but he refused, whereupon the
shipper said ne was offered that rate by an
other line. This official said he heard it
was the Minnesota & Northwestern which
was making the cut, but he was not certain
whether it was or not.
Later i'll the day it was reported that the
Minnesota q Northwestern was making the
cut, and this is the reason of the reopening
of the mills at Minneapolis. 1t is said that
the Minnesota Il Northwestern and Central
Iowa lines are making the cut, and that the
business is not sent to Chicago, but to New
L
miles longer than the shortest route now
existing between st. Paul and New York.
BY the new route flour is taken from Min
leap0Iis TO New York at 20 cents, or
q rate D cents less than the rate by any Of
the Northwestern Traffic association lines
and the Eastern trunk lines from Chicago.
The report caused quite a sensation and if
it proves@o be true will no doubt cause a
furry among the association roads. Gen
eral Freight Agent Littell of the Minnesota
d Northwestern was not to be found yes
terday, and there was no one in authority
to either affirm or deny the report in the
freight department. If the report is cor
rect shipments must be made via the Cen
trail Iowa, for the Illinois Central has
pledged itself to the Northwestern Traffic
association that it will maintain all agree
ments the association may make. as though
It was member, and that it will not ac-
tept any business from the Minnesota IL
Northwestern except at tariff rates. If it
does this the Minnesota & Northwestern,
which gets about cents for its share of the
haul, could not possibly make cut of "a
cents to Chicago, as about ~ cents go to
pay switching charges and "a cents more
would leave it only cent per 100 pounds

Romance of an Iron Mime.

Kansas City Times.
Mr.. Charles Chaplin and wife, of Niles,
Mich, spent Yesterday in this city en- route
to Fort Scott. Mr.. Chaplin is one of the
most wealthy young men in Michigan, being
the owner of valuable iron mine, which
brings him an income of $4,000 a
months during seven or eight months
Of each year. The history of his for
tune sounds like an arabian Nights
tale. 1t is stated that several years ago
Mr.. Chapin's sister married young person
and the couple went up into Michigan,
where the minister was given charge.
At donation party one of his parishiOn-
ers gave him deed to one hundred and
sixty acres of wild land 1t was not con-
sidered especially valuable, and was
not regarded as anything more
than an ordinary gift. In the course
OF time the minister died, and his
wife followed him. childless. and the land
fell into the hands of Mr.. Chaplin. One
day some traces of iron were found on land
near that given the parson, and Mr.. Chaplin
went up to investigate. He found his
whole tract was full of the richest kind of
ore, and from comparative poverty he was
raised to great atf1uence. The mine was
developed, and for years it has yielded an
enormous income to Mr.. Chaplin, and he
now has beautiful home at Niles, and,
surrounded by an interesting family, he
leads a life OF quiet elegance.

PUTTING THEM UNEER GROUND.
Telegraph Companies in Chicago
Complying With the Ordinance.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-There are, as nearly
as can be estimated, about fifteen thousand
miles of wire in Chicago used by the tele-
graph. telephone and electric light COM
panies, besides countless private lines. Ac-
cordlng to the reports received by Mr.. Bar
rett from the various companies last De-
cember there were shown to be about 100
miles Of wire underground. Since then
the work has been actively going on, and
during the present year about three times
that amount has been put out of sight At
present the wires belonging to the city, the
Postal and Bankers and Merchants tele-
graph companies, besides those of a
number of electric light companies, are I'M
nerground, and the poles from which
they hung are being cut down. The West
ern Union is placing its wires in pipes as
rapidly as possible. Mr.. Barrett said to-
day the underground idea is spreading
throughout the country, and the Insulating
factories were pushed to their utmost capa-
city to supply the immense demand. some
of them being at least six months behind
in their orders. In his opinion the COM
panies were doing all in their power to live
up to the ordinance and that by May all
the wires in the business portion of the city
would be under ground, though it will
probably take ten years to place all the
wires in the city there.

wanttO Form Pool.

The Eastern trunk lines for some time
past have tried to bring about a meeting of
she managers of their Western connections
In order to get them to enter into a pool
with the trunk lines, or to effect a separate
pool or combination similar to the proposed
Central Traffic association. The refusal of
the Western connections to become party
to any pool, causes much uneasiness. The
Eastern managers feel that without sup
Elementary pooling agreement by their
Western connections and affiliated lines,
they will not be able to maintain eaSt-bound
rates, in spite of their agreement not to &C
cept any business from their connections
except at full nroportion of tariff rates. If
any of their Western connections choose to
make cut and stand the loss from the re-
duction themselves, the Eastern trunk lines
are powerless to prevent it. So long as
they get their full proportion of the tariff
rate, they cannot know whether the through
rates have been cut or not.

almost contiguous to the borders
of the town, the land is heavily
timbered. affording an abundance of native
timber, manufactured in the village, and
also thriving wood industry. Thousands

DARLINGTON, OAK, Dec. 1s.-Carring-
ton is at the junction of the jamestown &

was plated in the fall of 1882 and before
of 500 population. On account of its being
the headquarters for work on the lines north
| and west, its Importance as a good trading
point soon became prominent and to-day we
boast of merchants doing business
of over one hundred thousand dollars
annually. The country tributary hereto is
fast settling up and developing. Large
tracts of railroad land have been broken up
and are now ready to crop. The town has
kept up a steady march of improvement
until now we are supplied with fine church,
school house. two elevators, a feed mill, five
or six machinery depots, lumber yards and
a very cozy class of dwelling houses.
But we have some special advantages which
l wish your paper to herald to thinking
public. First, we have the only spring OF
flowing water in this sectien. 1t is ju.t the
place for grist mill. Its volume is suffi-
Gent to supply large mill, and the time is
now here when.Such an investment
WILL PAY BIG MONEY.
Then farmer can buy the best land out OF
doors on the following terms: For the first
few years no payments necessary except
the interest. Then after his farm begins
producing he has three or four years in
which to pay for the land. Many OF our
resident farmers are buying land on these
terms and the outlook is very promising.
The machine men say that at no
place in the territory are the farmers more
prompt in paying their obligations. The
chattel mortgages are disappearing from the
records and our county is fast coming to a
cash basis. This is something that should
encourage capitalists, We should have
store or two more another bank
and good, lively newspaper.
