PIPING OIL TO CHICAGO.
The Standard Oil Company Dis
 tribIting Iron Pipes.

The Standard Oil Company has completed all it's arrangements for building pipe line from Lima. O., to Chicago, for the cheap and rapid transportation of the crude oil which is destined to take the place of coal in the great manuf tcturing establishments of Chicago. A short time ago the negotiations for the right of way along tue line of the Chicago and At lantic E illway were concluded in New York, and since the beginning Of tho week every west-bouud train on the road has included from two to six cars of wroueht-iron pipe. Gangs of men are working westward from Lima and from this city. distributing the pipe preparatory to digging along the north side of the track the trench in which it will be laid. Machinery will be used in excavating the trench and as soon as all the pipe is distribu- ted the wo.k Of laying it Tn the ground will be conducted as fast as the weather will per. init.
 The pipe is eight inches in diameter, and each section is twenty-two feet long. To lay one mile requires 210 sections. AS car load contains only fortycight, it necessitates five car loads for each mile, or about 1.050 loads for the whole line. The joints are similar to those used in gas and stelm fitting, and will be equally tight. The estimated cost of the line, without the pumping machinery and res ervoirs, is about S7,00O per mile. The total length of the pipe will be about 2l0 miles, and the entire investment will aggregate about S2, 25O 0O0. The Standard Oil Company prac- tically controls all the oil territory around Lima and 1t is intimatcd that for three months it has had it's agents out prospecting and leasing all oil-indicating propertyin the vicn- ity of Montpelier. about thirty miles south of Huntington. Southeast of there about twenty miles few bor1nSs have been made, but on ! outsiders have been permitted to learn the re-

FLOODS IN MINNESOTA.
Bottom Lands Overflowed, Bridges
 Washed Away.

All the streams near Austin, Minn., are swollen: Almost every wagon bridge in the county has been swept away.
 At St. Peters tho Minnesota River broke over its banks and is flooding the bottom lands east of the city. Everything for miles has been submerged. No serious damage las been done thus far except to the long bridge leading to the Omaha depot The river is nearly over the Omaha tracks, and is within couple of feet of the high-water mark of 1881.
 The recent rain storms, together with the great thaw, have caused the greatest floods in Fountain and Albert Lee Lakes and the Shell Rock River known since the country was set tied. The water in Fountain Lake is up to tho floor of the bridge at it's outlet, and was only prevented from overhowing the entire isthmus between the two lakes by hauling on of large quantities of earth. The Southern Minnesota Railway track across the head of the latter lake can barely be seen above the water. A dozen bridges in the county have been swept away.
 Asteady rain has prevailed, and the ice in the Minnesota, which has been intact above the mouth of the Blue Earth, has commenced to break up. Many business men have re- moved their goods from the basements, and nearly every resident of North and West Man. kota has moved out. It looks now as if the water would rise several feet more, in which event losses will be heavy.
 The Zumbrota Is rapidly rising, and if the rain continues there will be much damage 10 tracks and property. The Milwaukee Railroad is flooded ill several places between here and Wabash, but not much damage has yet re- suited.
 The flood in the Root River is the highest for twelve years. The bridge at Peterson is gone and the one over the canal at Sprague s Mill. The canal bank is broken in six places and the railroad damaged all along the river. Only one mail has arrived in five days.
 The country for miles about Mankato is GOV cred with water, and heavy rain is falling. The floods exceed those of 1881. Four farmers attempted to cross the ice below the gorge at Judson, and three of them were overwhelmed by portion of the breaking ice and drowned. Their bodies have not yet been found. A cake of ice passed under the Minnesota River bridge bearing mans new hat.
 At St. Peter. the river is now mile wide, and fears are entertained of much damage to railroad property. It is reported that the Cot tonwood and several other tributaries have broken loose. The Milwaukee Railroad bridge is under water, and the embankments are crumbling. At Henderson the river rose five feet last night, and the highway between the depot at East Henderson and the city, about a mile, is completely submerged. A number oi telegraph poles between the stations and the city have been washed away, and the wires are lying in the water.

"DIdn't Know 1t Was Loaded"
The young man fell dead! A T...l IL


 A friend had pointed a revolver at him.
 ''He didn't know it was loade6,n
 we often hear 1t stated that man is not responsible for what he does not know. The law presupposes knowledge and therefore convlcts the man who excuses crime by ignorance!
 If had only known" has often been an unfortunate mans apology for some evil unknoWingly wrought, but ill matter of general lnterest-aS for instance that iaud- anum is poison, that naphtha is a deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged with a. winters accumulations of the waste of the system, 1t is one's duty to know the fact and the consequences thereof. Our good old grandmothers knew for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous pe- riod of the year.
 Why?
 Because then the blood stream is sluggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned a good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good vigor the rest of the year. Hence. without exception, what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla was plentfuly made and re- hglously given to every member of the fam fly regularly through March, April, May and June. ltls matter of record that this prudential, preventive and restorative cus- tom saved many fit of sickness, prolonged life and happiness to vigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expendi- lures.
 Mrs Maggie kerchwal, Lexington, Ky, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla flor nervous sick headache of which had been a sufferer for years: It has been great benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1114 S. 18th St., Philadelphia, Pa, says ''it purified my blood and removed the blotches from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks O., Pa, says she twas entirely cured of a skin disease of the worst kind, by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates very bad condition of the blood.
 If you would live and be we'll. go to your druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other,-theres nothing like it or good,-and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots and herb&
 Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee of ex- cellence all over the known world. Take it yourself and give it to the other members of the family, including the children. You will be astonished at its health-giving and life- prolonging powers. We say this editorialy with perfect confidence, because we have heard good things of it everywhere, and it's name is guarantee that it is first-class i'll every particular

Very Economical.

A story has lately been told that illus trates A. T. Stewalt's noted economical spirit. He had given dinner and the atre party, and instead of taking his guests to the theatre in carriages, as they had expected, he hailed stage and democratically hustled them all into it. Judge and Mrs. Hilton were of the party. While paying the fares Mir. Stewart dropped q piece of money, and during almost the entire trip kept turn ing up the straw in the bottom of the stage in search of it. Judge Hilton, who was sitting near him, took from his pocket nickel, and, passing it to the millionaire, said: "For heavens sake, Mir. Stewart, put this in your pocket, and don't kick up any more dust with that straw
 And here is something similar about Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who died not long ago: One night, when the candle by which the servants lighted their way to bed gave out before the allotted time, Mrs. Astor said to Justine, the old French woman who had lived with them some years, Sprinkle salt around the wick, Justine, and it will light you to bed "

AI.onr-Distance Talk.

A remarkable feat in long-distance tele phonins is reported from Bloomington, Ill. The train dispatcher's office of the Chicago and Alton was connected teephonically with Kansas City, the Western Union wire No. 40 being used. The new lons-distance transmit, ter of the Bell Telephone Company was used here with six ordinary cells of a Leclanche battery. The conversation between Blooming ton and Kansas City was carried on as readily and perfectly as on quarter-mile circuit with the ordinary Blake transmitter. Kansas City next extended the circuit to Topeka, Kan. and St. Joseph, Mo-, and conversation carried on as readily as before. The distance is 370 miles to Kansas City. making the longest cir cult utilized something over 400 miles. The atmospheric conditions were perfect.

Ohio Saloons Close on Sunday

The passage by the Ohio Senate of what is known as the Owens Sunday Closing bill made it a law It takes from the Councils of munic- ipal corporations the power to decide whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold or not on Sunday, and prohibits all sales of liquor on Sunday. Several of the leading saloon keepers say they like the law because they want to have a days rest like other people. If New York and other large cities can close saloons on Sun day, they think Ohio cities can endure the de- privation as we'll, and that the law will promote good order on Sundays. and give to all classes better enjoyment of the day.
 Others claim that it will bc disastrous to their business, as the best receipts of the week are those of Sunday
