a HEAVY CONTRACT.
An Affair that Did Not Pan Out sa'is
factOrly.


factOrily.
Eureka possesses more contractors 70
the acre than any town in the world'
but our friend John Graham discounts
them all when he tackles job. just
after we moved from our old stand ne
caught sight of some old sheds we LETT
standing, and feeling the need of q side
walk in front of his palatial residence
concluded to save few bits and buy
the old lumber left standing. He struck
Hickman for trade, and got the old
buildings for packing up to Heck 5
house what wood was laying around
loose. He hired team at Sl.5O a load
and the teamster got in six loads on him
amounting to 81. Wishing to have
nice sidewalk, he concluded to nave
cnid-chisel made to cut the nails, Tor
which he paid g. After he got every
thing out of the way he tackled the
buildings and ripped them apart which
took him two days. He then started IN
to getting the thing to pieces, and chs
eled away for two days more when ne
broke his 81 chisel. BY this time he
beoan to realize what darn fool he
was. but his pride was too great to give
up the job if it took all summer and
the last cent he hadA Uncle Bill Olm-
stel was around Fl avating for the
foundation of his mammoth new eIe--
nhant and for that reason had just had
all his picks newly pointed. John re-
placed his cold-chisel With one OF these,
and when about finishing up broke 1t
off SQUARE at the handle. After snort
inc around for few moments he con-
cI1ded to 90 through, and therefore
told the teamster to haul it home, and
then went down to cool OIL. Nhen ne
returned home he found it all there,
piled up in front of the gate, and called
in carpenter to contractfor building the
sidewalk. as he was heartily sick of the
contracting business. Imagine his
surprise when the carpenter told hlm
there wasn't foot of the old ruoD'sh
he could use on account Of it being
filed with nails and spikes and being
split to pieces SICK OF the Plle tIie car
penter finally agreed to furnish the
whole business for ST. John finally
agreed to his terms, and then hired
man to cut up the wood for IS. When
it was all neatly cut, and his respected
wife filled the stove with it a few times,
it became so filled with old iron that she
had to postpone getting dinner until
John returned. When he did, and saw
the outcome of his investment he was
slightly wild. He seized 81. 90 can OF
coal oil and rushed out in the yard,
poured it upon the pile 9f wood and set

a man to haul the iron to the junk
shop, where he sold the outfit for Sl.75.

lumber John put in his sidewalk cost

AecosdiAg 70 reports from WAshington.
che result Of Cong essionAl action upon
ths question Of interstate commerce the
present session, is still g, atty involved
in doubt. It had been confidently pre-
dicted that NJ restrictive measure would
have any chance Of success in the Sen.
ate, but it Gems noU that such predic-
ton may not be verified. The bill passed
by the House last week has b, en- refer
I'd to the Senate Commerce Committee.
/ and the Senate is meantime proceeding
with the consideration Of the Cullom
hill. The SsuHte refused to agree to
Gahand's motion to refer both bills to
the Railroad Committee to prepare a
substitute from which the Objectionable
features i'll the House bill should be eli
minated. It is probable that il q ma.
jority Of the Senators felt ut liberty to
exercise their personal Judgment, moth
ing more radical than n commission
would be allowed. There are, however,
several Democratic Senators from the
South, and some Republican Senators
from the West, whom answer to the
demands of the people Of theiE respect
i've states, that the question Of railroad
transportation shall be regulated by di-
rect legislutiun-wi!l feel compelled To

not, ns Il rule, yet had an opportunity to
closely examine the Regain bill, as
amended III the House. aud they dislike.
i'll advance Of its discussion III the SEN

undoubtedly be made to pass some hill
this session To regulate Interstate com
merce. The fight between the friends

sharp and earnest.
