did array of names; Julian Hawthorne

purest of Ouidas shorter stories

satirical poem, The Water of Gold

satirical poem, The Dilemma Of the
| Nineteenth Century, and it is especial
| ly interesting as the first presentation

| narrative form. Walt Whitman, under
the title Of My Book and /, discusse:
his own poetical theories and give:
some valuable and entertaining bits OF

the course of his affirmative answer K
this question he manages to deliver
some hard raps at his own critics
Barrett Wendall has an essay on Socia
Life at Harvard, which is not only full
Of interesting details in regard Il
undergraduate society, but presents
much matter for serious thought. A
short criticism of The George Move
ment, by VIM. III. Babcock, gives some
plain common-sense views upon tn,
land question, and there is a report Of
ansentertaining conversation between
Senator ingalls, and Mr.. Howells, il
which the former discusses Cleveland
and his policy, and the latter gives
some views upon literature. Tn,

The St. Clair River Tunnel.

The work now in progress is the
sinking of shaft Skis in size and near
ly one hundred feet deep. From such
a shaft on each side of the river the
preliminary tunnel six feet in diameter
will proceed and join under the center
Of the river. The men will be divided
into three gangs, working eight hours
each. 1t is calculated that it will take
about eight months to finish this pre-.
liminary tunnel. This six-foot tunnel
will occupy the exact center of the pro.
posed main tunnel and will be used to
bring i'm materials when the work is
proceeding in the larger tunnel.
The workmen engaged in the tunnel
will be supplied with fresh air by
means of powerful blowers. Light
will be supplied by means of incandes-
cent electric lights. The contractors
have a complete Edison plant for fur.
nishing these lights, which will soon
be in position in the building on the
river bank.
The railroad tunnel will emerge from
the ground about mile back from the
river somewhere in the neighborhood
of the Upton Works. twill run about
the same distance OH the Canada side
The distance from one shaft to the
other across the river is $500 feet, which
would make the complete tunnel about
two and one-half miles long. 1t is esti
mated that it will cost about S2OO000(
for single track tunnel. Then il bus
mess demands another similar tunne
can be constructed.

The suit of Thomas Lane against
the city of Dodge City, was brought to
a close in the District Court on Friday,
the jury bringing in a verdict of sS5
damages. The suit was brought to re-
cover damages to the amount of $4,000
alleged to have been sustained by the
defendant in the summer of 1883, when
he was forced to leave the city in COM
psny with Luke Short and others, BY
order of the mayor Of the city. Tommy,
at that time, was keeping whisky
stand, and was also engaged in making
other violations Of law, contrary to the
dignity: welfare and peace of the city.
1t was great stretch of retributivc
compensation to award even a verdict
worth one cent damages, but we pre-
sumo the lawyers were satisfied with a
judgment that would give them their
fees, for We understand that the attor-
neys for Lane fled lien on the district
clerk in order to hold the judgment in
liquidation of their services. Net Adams,
of Larned, was Lanes attorney. T.

engaged in an unlawful business, and in
view Of his own character at the time,
he could not lawfully sustain damages.

Dodge City papers are exulting over
the expulsion of robbers and confidence
men, from that place. They have good
cause for tiff the present reform move
ment becomes permanent. The growth
of the place, has doubtless been greatly
retarded by the unsavory reputation
that it has borne. Perhaps rival
towns, have always been ready to pub
fish to the world, the darkest side of the
picture. We hope these same papers
will have the fairness to present the
brighter status of affairs. We are sat
is6ed that Dodge has grand future be-
fore her.-Fowler Graphic.

Mr.. LyBrand has one Of the best en-
gines in the west. 1t is a twenty five

will be called to considerable account.
Mr.. LyBrand intends in the winter
