Since then the lake front has been used for

New York has come forth lately with a
plan for tower structure which is 50 made

The New York Press, and his description is

80 suspended that they viii always remain
level
''At the summit of the large arches there
viii be grand union depot. the sixteen cars
coming to the edge Of q platform several
hundred feet square. From this point the
top of the lookout tower can be reached by
sixteen special and independent elevators.
1.-The midway arches and grand prone
made will have six separate elevators at the
end of each arch, making forty Height in ALL
In the center Of the tower there will be
twenty elevators running from the ground
to the highest PLATFORM, 300 feet above.
1.-The symbolical part Of the design VIII be
found in the position of the feet of the arches,
which would be north, south, east and west.
In the northern quarter would be placed the
exhibit from the north, and so on. At tho
top Of the whole structure would be statue
Of Columbus, with its face to the west, and
at the base Of each arch would be small
pedestal tower, with groups symbolic of the
quarters of the globe which they respectively
face. The whole structure would be lighted
by electricity at night, making magnificent
sight that would be visible for miles.

Uncle Samuel has never seen any one do
big thing but that he has set out to do big
ger one. At the time of his first Worlds fair

and swallowed a camel, :" but that was when
he was little boy. Now that he has grown
to be man and takes rank with his older
brothers of Europe, there can be little doubt
he will Guido the Eiffel tower, and Mr. Hins-
dale's plan is foreshadowing of the fact.

CHICAGO FAIR SITES.
this, for New York is the metropolis of the
eastern states and Chicago is the metropolis
Of what should now be called the middle
states, for Illinois and the states about it are
no longer western.
Chicago has plenty of sites to offer She is
built on prairie, and level plain stretches
south and west of her for hundreds of miles
There are sites north, west and south. Two
have been mentioned on the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, three more lie due
west, while among her parks to the south
ward are three more, with one at Pullman.
But there is one proposed site, perhaps the
most available Of all, in the very heart of the
city. This is what is called the Lake front
" hat the Lake front is it may be well to ex-
plain to those who have never been in Chi
cago.
The Illinois Central railroad enters the city
from the south, skirting Lake Michigan from
Hyde Park to the Union depot. From
Twelfth street to the depot, about dozen
blocks, there is an open space, bounded on
the south by Twelfth street, on the east by
the lake, on the west by Michigan boulevard,
and on the north by the depot. Before the
Chicago fire this space was the margin Of
Lake Michigan, the railroad running on
trestle work several hundred yards out in
the lake. After that fire the debris of the
burned city was dumped there and the space
between the railroad and Michigan boulevard
was filed up. Grass was sown and level
park about mile long by block wide was
formed

tie of Bull Run was fought, and its colonel
went through the fight as an aid to Gen.
Franklin. Then he returned and organized
the Fifty first Pennsylvania infantry

sent 10 Vicksburg. After the fall Of that
place, with the Ninth corps, it went to East
Tennessee to join Burnside, at Knoxville.
Next Hartranft was placed in charge of
the Ninth corps in rendezvous for reorganza-
ton at Annapolis The Fifty-first regiment,
whose time expired, re-enlisted, and Hart
ranft was soon at the head of brigade COM
posed of it and other regiments in Virginia.
He was in at the second Bull Run, Chantilly,

lantry at Spottsylvania, and brevetted a ma
jor general at the close of the war He re-
tired from the service as the Hero of Fort

The Nevada papers have pub
lished wagon loads OF silver articles,
but il the weight should tall upon
the hard heads OF the Eastern
farmers. it would hardly make an
impression. They are governed by
the notion that bankers and
brokers govern financial questions,
and the least they know about
finances and silver, the least trouble
and bother they Will have to meet.
Drive the truth into their heads,
that il the price of silver starts on
the up grade, wheat's vaice and
farm products will also increase,
and they will then pull like
twelve-mule team to drag it to the
top of the grade. - Reyeille.

A FOOLISH QUESTION:

No sane man who has cut his
milk teeth, would ever think of
asking what papers of the State
got money last Winter from the
home company, and failing, dragged
nutrimeHt from the Louisiana con-
Germ. BY simply reading the co..
umns of the papers which support
ed the lottery scheme IN the Sum-
mer, and which suddenly changed
front in the Winter, one can get a
very excellent idea OF the situation.
Every time this question is asked,
one wonders at the growing size of
the fool crop.

Tie Reno Gazette and L, OF
County Times are having an ex
change over the lottery matter. The
following is very much TO the
point:
The Reno Gazette does not deny
that il is doing advertising for the
Louisiana Lottery Company, but
tries to divert attention from this
fact by telling the people string
of lies about the members of the
late Legislature and some newspa-
per men. The Gazette knows, as
well as do others, that there was
not a share OF Nevada Lottery
stock in existance last Winter, or
ever, for that matter. and still il
makes the assertion that the mem
bers who favored the lottery propo-
sition had their pockets full of lot
terry stock. Although the Gazette
proclaimed from the house-tops
that it was fighting the lottery on
moral grounds, when it received
the amendment to publish it had
no more TO say against the lottery
until after the election. Then 1t
was wide mouihed for stamping out
the traffic in all kinds of lottery
tickets, and advocating the arrest
and prosecution of all dealers,
promising to show up all the deal
ers in Reno. Now, 10 and behold,
it is advertising what grand results
occur by investing in lottery tickets,
especially if you send your money
away from home for them. The
members of the Legislature and the
newspaper men who advocated a
lottery may not I've as moral as the
Gazette, but there is NOT as much /
hypocrisy in the whole gang as
there is in one issue of Reno's moral |
journal. As there is a law against
the sale of lottery tickets in this
State and also against advertising /
lotteries, we would suggest that the
officers begin to perform their duty
IN Washoe county, and as the Ga
zette, according to its own figuring
is the most influential thing in the
State. it would probably be a good
plan to strike the first blow at the
root OF the evil.

An Open Letter.

To John II. Rendleman, County Aud-
itor:
DEAR SIR:-The undersigned, farm
ers and tax payers of Audubon county,
Iowa, desiring to be enlightened rs to
the cost of the poor farm, respectfully
ask that You publish an itemized state
ment of the receipts and expenditures
of the farm, giving the original cost Of
the farm, interest paid on same, all
items of improvement and cost of same,
all monies paid for help of all kinds,
provisions, implements, stock and all
other expenses connected Herewith,
giving dates and the amount of each
item separately, also all receipts derived
from said farm. Further, the names
and time kept on the farm of all per
sons who have been cared for at the
farm. 2
Query. Would it not, In your opin-
ion, be to the best interests Of the county
to rent said farm to some good, reliable
farmer, at the customary cash rent, the
county to pay an agreed price for the
board Of all persons cared for by the
county at the poor farm? Knowing that
every tax payer in the county is deeply
interested in this report, we ask an early

IT Is not to be expected that railroad
managers will be as active in Iowa pol
itics this fall as they were last year when
their fine Italian hand was apparent in
the defeat of John Mahin for railway
commissioner. They are at least not so
well organized for political work as they
were at that time. There has, too, come
about a season of better reasoning be-
tween the managers and those who are
acting on behalf Of the State. The time
was when meeting between the repre-
sentatives of the two great interests was
of itself an antagonism, aggressive and
unreasoning, but the railroad managers
have accepted the laws of Iowa for the
control of corporations as fixed and
enduring policy and they will abide in
its mandates, with faith in the integrity
of executives and the purpose of the
people to deal justly. The man.
ayers and commissioners constitute in
effect board of arbitration between
these two great interests, and their
counsels should be dignitied, without
prejudice and in good faith to be worthy
of the trust imposed. The Hon. Spen-
Ger Smith has been good member of
the commission, faithful to the people
and should ba reelected. His expert
ence will be of value to the state in the
coming term of three years, whereas the
election of a novice would jeopardize
the intelligence of the board.
