EmerSOn'SS Greatness Criticised.

There was in Concord an excellent lady of the old school, who, having heard Mr. Em- erson's greatness spoken of, said: "Ycs, Mr. Emerson is a pretty smart man; he keeps his head up there in the moonshine, and he says things that nobody can understand, and folks think it's wisdom, and he writes it all down, and people buy it of him; but 1 guess if he'd "a turned his attention to the butter business he'd "a got along just the samc" The old lady meant this as a compliment, and, no doubt, as the world goes, it ought to be taken as one.-Boston Transcript

Railroads Are Troubled by Tramps.

Excepting the engineer, conductor and trainmen, few people have any idea of the vexation and annoyance which those in charge of a train, passenger or freight, are compelled to submit to on account of tramps
 A prominent official of the Missouri Pacific, in talking about the matter, says that fully 50,O00 of these worthless characters are all the time plodding along the railroads of the country. They arc a constant menace to the safety of travellers, as well as the property of the companies. Some of them do not hesi- tate to turn Switches if they can find them unlocked, and many accidents, were the truth known, would be charged up to them. They fire bridges, depots and fences, and not only steal from cars, but make away with heavy lots of iron. One of their favorite practices is to steal handcars to help them along in their journey.-Omaha Republican.

AT this writing it looks like the begin ming of the end of the big railroad strike
 "Wednesday will be decisive day." said General Passenger Agent Martin of the Burlington, last night. "Every road will be rendered our freight and they will either have to fish or cut bait" His words contain hidden significance. The rail road men are condfent that the law will bring help to aid them, and are gaining confidence. Leading members of the Chicago lumber organizations are coming to the aid of the railroads. Over thirty million dollars worth of lumber has been tied up by the strike and the refusal of other roads to handle the Burlington cars, and the lumber men will institute lega' proceedings against every road connecting with the Burlington that refuses to handle its freight.

FREDERICK o. PIERCE, Secretary.

IF the republicans have policy for the management of taxation and the surplus for which they claim the support of the people in preference to the democratic pol icy, why do they not embody it in bill so that the people can examine it and esti- mate what it may be worth :: Why do they confne their opposition to mere statements and empty discussion, which involve no party responsibility, and can bring to their party no credit or atfirma- tive support!

Payment for a Poem.

Some publishers have their own ideas as to the manner in which compensation for liter- ary service should be sealed In a monthly edited by an acquaintance of mine appeared a poem. It was a very good bit of verse by a local literarian, rather given to negligence in the matter of attire. The editor marked it on his pay roll as being worth S5
 'That's too much," said the publisher, promptly. 'Hes very shabby fellow, you know; $3 is enough for him."
 And that is all he got.-Alfred Tumble in New York News

THERE were circumstances connected with the case of Adam Volkavitch, who was yesterday hanged in Pennsylvania, which made him more worthy of sympathy than ordinary murderers. He was poor man, stranger in strange country, with neither friends nor money. His wife came with him to the new world and Riosgi. the victim of the murderous shot, a country man of Volkavitch, came into his home led his wife from the path of rectitude, and, according to the latest revelations, con- spired to kill him Under these circum- stances there are many who will believe that the crime of Volkavitch called for far lesser punishment than death, and there would have been few who would regret the respite which Governor Beaver refused to allow.

It is said that dry rot, the enemy of build CTS, is a sort of contagious disease Good authorities state that it can be carried by saws and other tools which have been in con- tact with affected wood, and that such con- tact and impregnation is often the cause of the mysteriously rapid decay of originally sound timbers.

 SINCE Mrs Frank Leslie made such a great success in journalism a great many men want to marry her, and it is a poor week indeed when her engagement is not announced at least once. But only a small percentage of the number of proposals re- ceived by Mrs Leslie ever comes to the ear of the public. To reporter of the New York Sun last week Mrs Leslie said that she received an average of two proposals every day of her life. She recently re- ceived proposal from a man worth $17, OOO,0OO, who thought marriage would be advantageous to both. Mrs Leslie never sights proposal whether she knows the proposer or not, but that the task of an swering the amorous epistles may not be too onerous she has prepared circular, couched in respectful terms which she sends to all aspirants for her hand. There is no occasion for Mrs Leslie to use her leap year privilege. It is not at all i'm probable that by and by the right man will come around and make proposal which will not be rejected.

DR. WEISS, German physician and philosopher, declares that there is some thing in the air of Chicago that seriously affects it's inhabitants and makes many of them bloodthirsty, and with a de- sire to destroy inanimate objects. The doctor pays doubtful compliment to the newspapers of the town. He says that they get and print more news than in any other city in the world, but that accuracy and good English are invariably sacrificed to sensationalism and space. Dr. Weiss is firmly convinced that the air from the the lake has at times a peculiar influence on the inhabitants, and that the same people in any other city would be per fectly peaceable. He intends to write a book on the subject and give scientific reasons for his belief

THE CLONE HIGHWAYMAN.o
A Brave Woman Ends His Career With
q Couple of Shots.

COupl0 Oh SnOts.
From the Virginia (Nev.) "Enterprise":
The Lone Highwayman," who for two
years has been terror to travellers, has
| been killed., shot by Mrs. Lizzie Hayes, at
| her home on the hear prong of the Rio Sa-
| oinal, in Bandero County, last Monday.
As she herself tells the story she was alone
when the highwayman presented himself
before her. He had a mask Of black calico
over his face. Mrs. Hayes told him to get
away or she would kill him. The reply was:
'You are plucky woman, but I'll have
what want out OF the house or burn it
over your head.
The woman snatched up a needle-gun
and placed it within 1S inches of the rob-
bers heart, but it snapped. The high
wayman then drew a long knife, and cry
ing, an kill you," struck at the woman's
throat. The end of the knife made an
ugly wound across her forehead.
Mrs. Hays then felled the hjghwayman
with blow from the butt OF her gun, and
before he could rise she reversed the gun
did not miss fire. The robber gave fear
full roar, and rolled out on the porch,
gained his feet and ran to his horse.
Mrs. Hays reloaded her gun and wiping
the blood from her eyes with her apron,
took aim and fred anothtr shot as the
fellow was nearing his horse.
When the husband OF Mrs. Hays came
home he organized party OF rangers.
They trailed the robher distance OF
twenty miles by his blood and found him

GUILTY OF MANSL4UG
Four Indians Acknowledge Having Killed
| Medicine Man.


Los Angeles special: In the United States
Circuit Court four Indians-Bll Wnaley,
Poncho Francisco, Salt Lake Pete and
Juan Chino-pleaded guilty to man
slaughter for killing an Indian medicine
man named Juan Batista, Oh the Tulare
Indian reservation.
The story briefly, as told by the Indians,
is that an Indian named Hunter had a
very handsome wife, with whom the medI'
cine man became very much in love. Ba-
tsta held sway over his tribe by claiming
that lie had the power OF life and death
through subtitle poisoning in his possession
After making away with Hunter and tax
ing possession of his wife, the Indians be.
came alarmed and determined to make
way with him, fearing that more OF the
tribe might be sacrificed. Accordingly, at
secret concave, the four above named
were selected to put Batista out OF the
way. A trap wes set for him and he was
shot and killed.
1t is claimed the Indians, in carrying out
the decree of the tribe, did not make them
selves amenah'e to the federal laws. The
defense also claims that as wards of the
government they should have been in
structed in the federal laws If they were t.
be held amenable, and that unless the
prosecution proves the laws were read to
them they had no means OF knowing a
crime had been committed.
Judge Ross took the matter under ad
visement.
