tees in the place of Fl. d. West, ]. d. Ladder

expired. The pastor, Rev. Clay MacCauley,

TO THE LAKE.
Att IL O'clock the fifty-two members of
the Iramps' TObOggan club locked arms and
started for Lake Como. The moon was
shining in dull sort OF way, and the air
was full of fine flakes of snow tossed about
by sharp breeze that had sprung up early
in the evening. Singing I'VE Won't Go
Home till Morning. +" in catch-as-catch-
sort of style, they walked on
until they reached the suburbs of the city,
when Capt. Mike halted them and said,
''Boyees, it don't do US (hic) no good 10
wal (hic) Ike; we mustn't run; we mustn't run
L (hic) shay. We should (hie) be ashamed
of ourselves for (hic) depending on each
other for support. Every man here is (hic)
old enough TO support himself. Now when

Atten (hic) attenshunl unclinchl runr'
The fifty-twO men broke their hold at the
order and started off in an undecided sort
of way. The toes of their shoes seemed to
be of an affecIiOnate turn of mind and were
constantly hugging each other. This dis
play of love on the part of the barrel slaves
had the effect of standing large majority
OF the tifty-twO on their heads in the snow,
and it wasn't long before they wandered
= Jart and forgot where they had started for.

The storm increased during the night
and the mercury dropped several degrees
below zero. About $3.50 a. IN. the uni
formed members began to straggle into the
police station. and, shaking off their suits
in the outer room, located themselves as
near as possible TO the stove. AT 1880 the
last OF the tifty-twO men had gone in and
Invested himself of his uniform. Each
man wore a tired look and showed no
signs of being in conservative mood.
ClOtheSline Williams sat in corner try
ing to get the swelling out of his ears
SO he could get his shirt of and dry it.
hIghforehead Mike sat by the stove try
ing to thaw his feet so that he could get his
shoes OFF without cutting them.
BaZOO BilkS' nose was swelled up so that
he couldn't see over the top of il.
Omaha Bob'S hands had swelled so that
he couldn't get them from his pockets,
where he had put them to keep them warm
about les a. m.
There wasn't a man in the crowd that
didn't show very evident signs of having
slept in snow drift the night before and
contracted more or less frost President
FerTett hadn't recovered from the cOmatose
condition in which he was brought to the
station in tine patrol wagon, and the frost
that came out of his body covered the sides
of the hall in which he lay. The run had
proven too much of picnic for the boys.
They were done up.

JUST BEFORE THE CARNIyAL,

The ice palace is finished. The busy
work of preparation for the carnival is over
The clubs are organized and uniformed.
The ice king is on his way, travelling in
state and dispatches his messengers ahead
on the wings of the zephyr TO tell us that
he will be here with his royal train on the
day appointed. Everything is in readiness
for the great carnival to open Monday.
The stiffness of the Sabbath day falls upon
the city to-day just as the hush of silence
falls upon the camp before the battle. The
city is resting on its arms to-day. Like an
army that has received orders to assault the
enemy's works at the first blush of the
mornings dawn, the city rests to-day in
anxious expectancy of what the morrow
will bring.
The spirit of carnival enthusiasm which
Is abroad in the city is the guarantee of the
success which awaits the events of the week
before us. The gay decorations which
beautify our streets and buildings are the
banners we hangs on the outer walls.
There is every token of readiness and de-
sire for the carnival to begin. With the
rising Of to-morrow's sun will be heard the
tramp of the snowshoer and tobogganer
and the shouts of the marshalling clubs OH
our streets. With the uplifting of to-night's

Roads somewhat Hostile.

The opinion is gaining ground that at
next Mondays meeting some arrangement
will be made by the Northwestern lines for
the pooling of Northwestern pas
senger traffic, which will enable
the lines interested in the Mis-
souri, River Passenger association to readopt
the agreement made last week. All the
roads interested in the Missouri river and
Northwestern passenger traffic are very
anxious TO prevent conflict that would re-
suit in serious loss to all of them. While
the Rock Island would suffer most severely
from a collapse in Missouri river rates, all
other lines interested would feel the effects.
collapse of st. Paul rates would affect
the Milwaukee & st. Paul and the North
western roads more severely than the Rock
Island, as they are carrying the bulk of the
business between Chicago IL st. Paul. Con-
seQuently all of them seem inclined to make
such concessions at Mondays meeting at
Chicago as to bring about harmony. Gen
eral Passenger Agent r. S. Hair of the
Northwestern will collect facts and figures
at st. Paul to be used in the consideration
of the question at the meeting

CHICAGO,s LAKE FRONT.
The Treasury Depa rGment tn Act in
the Railroads EncrOachmenf.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-A good deal of
interest is felt here among citizens of Hi
nois, at present in the city, over the proba-
bic action of the treasury department in the
matter of the lake front at Chicago. The
subject has been good deal discussed here
tofore. and there has been q question of
doubt as to whether the authority is in the
treasury department or the war department.
The authority not having been located
nothing has been done heretofore to protect
the public rights from the encroachments of
the railroad company, but as result of a
recent hearing, it is reported that the gen
eral go, eminent is going to act with real
vigOr and put stop TO any further en-
crOachments on navigation. Inquiry
shows that Col. Thomas IL. Keefe, an
officer of the treasury department,
stationed at Chicago, has recently been here
at the instance of prominent citizens Of
Chicago and placed before the secretary
very important papers. Complaint is made
by the citizens that the railroad company is
absorbing the entire lake front and by filling
up the harbor is not only impeding naviga-
ton, but inpairing the rights of the city Of
Chicago and working permanent injury.
1t is the opinion of good lawyers that
either the state or city government could
have interposed at any time to stop the
railroad company, and surprise is expressed
by representatives of the large Eastern
cities that such interpOsiton of the police
power has not been exercised long ago. No
corporation would be allowed to put even
stone on the water front of New York or
Boston If thereby navigation would be i'm
peded or the public lose control of dock priv
ileges- Representatives of the press have
failed to get an interview with Col. Keefe,
who 1t is reported at the treasury depart
ment has gone to New York, where he is
working on some custom cases.

IS any particular objection, " replied William
COrncure Brown. There may be some
members of the club that don't like trchi-
nosis. If they don't like it. of course they
don't have to eat it. AS for myself, l am
very fond of it,"
Il think the song is all right" said the
president, land think the club had better
adopt it." A vote was taken and the song
adopted. The members then hurried out
into the ante-roOm and began 10 put on
their suits and file out into the street in
front of the police station. When they
were all out and placed in line by Capt.
Highforebead Mike they presented strik-
ing appearance and were as fine body of
singie-barreled men as could be found in
the country. The run was to Lake Como
and back. The market house clock was
just striking nine when the captain gave
the order to march. and off they started at
slow trot in single file. the tails of their
oak coats rattling musieally against their
sheet iron pants. There were fifty-two
OF them. 1t is needless to say that
they created quite a sensation along the
line of march. Several admiring dogs of
different ages and varieties were out, their
teeth on the back part of the boys pants;
an unlimited number of spirited horses that
had never become accustomed to the cars,
gave complimentary exhibitions of speed on
the principal thOroughfares, and three diff
ferent ladies, well educated and highly
accomplished, climbed telegraph poles TO
enable them to get better view of the
beautiful array of bric- a-brac and relics of
the forgotten ages. The procession made
it point to stop at every saloon that they
came to and
CHEER THE PROPRIETOR.
This considerable act played so upon the
sympathies of the saloOnkeepers that each
one responded with fifty-two glasses of
beer, and when the snowshoers reached the
residence portion of the city the captain
called halt and explained to the boys that
they should stay around the business por
ton of the city until IL O'Clock, aid give
all the salOOnkeepers chance to see them.
If we don't do this" said he, ''there'll
be good many saloonkeepers in this town
who'll be indignant when they ind out that
we've ignored them. AT II O'Clock the
saloons close and then we can take a run
out to the lake"
The idea gained great popularity at once
and the men turned back and started for
the nearest unvisited saloon, Wherever
they stopped they were swabbed with beer.
and by IL o'clock p. M. not a wave of
trouble was rolling across single peaceful
breast in the gang.
At 11:45 they deserted a policeman
standing upin the middle of the sidewalk
snoring, and bouncing committee was APP
pointed to wake him up. When the COM
mittee grabbed him the policeman got the
impression that he was being crOss-exam
ined by criminal lawyer and he struggled
to get free, but it was no use, the boys
wouldn't be bluffed. 1t was the first
time that they had bounced any
body and the first time they threw
the copper up he came down
and left the imprint of his back hair on the

The street railway Decision.

Much uncertainty having arisen as TO what
the court has decided in the matter of the st.
Paul Street Railway company laying its tracks
on Pleasant avenue from the various versions
which have been given of the decision by the
daily papers of the city, we deem 1t just TO
all parties interested and the public to ex-
plain exactly what the decision is 1t de-
clines to give any opinion at all as to whether
the railway company is or is not corpora
ton, because that question was not material
to the result arrived at by the court. 1t does
decide that the company may lay down its
tracks and operate Its cars upon Pleasant
avenue and the other streets of the city, and
that its right to do so is a contract right
which is irrevocable by any power in the
state. c. X. Davis II. ]. Horn. Charles E.

reetorS OF their roads regarding the exiStin 9
railway complications. They will also at
tend the meeting of the TTanScontinental
association in New York Feb. 8. The
latter meeting will be of greater Importance
than was at first supposed. owing to the de-
mand OF the Canadian Pacific for a large
snare OF the TranScOntinental business.
The Canadian Pacific demands Is per cent.
OF the business for keeping out of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington Territory.
1t Is the opinion of most of the managers
that the object of the Canadian Pacific is to
secure subsidy from the TranscOntinental
ass ociation for keeping out of its territory,
1.-THE same as is given to the Northern Pacific
and Oregon Navigation for keeping out of
California. The Canadian Pacific probably
calculates that the Northern Pacific and
Oregon Navigation can be induced to give
It the subsidy they now receive from the
Trancontinental to avoid its competition
for Oregon and Washington Territory BUSH
ness. The Southern Pacific, it is thought,
would not object to such an arrangement,
as 1t would leave its percentage as it is now.
The question, therefore. is whether the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Navigation
will make such concessions to the Canadian
Pacific.
