A MODERN ARCADIA.
There Is No Violence in Mississippi on
Election Day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-"There IL never
any violence in our state on elcctioa
day." said a congressman from Missis-
sippi as he read a bulletin board to-day
in Virginia, and that there were some
acts of violence there. And how do
they prevent it?" asked an inquirer un-
known 70 this new congressman, who,
however, has had practical experience
in the methods of preserving the peace
in Mississippi on election day. Easy
enough, was the careless reply. I'VE
fire few rounds of cannon at daybreak
or thereabouts. We fire the cannon
again about noon. And we give IA few
We don't fire at any one time. There is
no violence there, oh, no. Election day
is as peaceful as the Sabbath"
This statement was made with the ut
most unconcern. There was 10 attempt
at establishment, neither was there any
attempt to conceal. The statement was
not intended as a joke. 1t was plain
tale OF the manner in which the demo
crats carry the elections in Mississippi.
IL is the new Mississippi plan. There is
peace on election day there; but it is the
peace that reisned at Warsaw. This
democratic congressman in this casual
declaration conceded, in effect, two
points-one, that the negroes, unless
driven from the polls by cannon or de-
TERED from voting by some act of vio-
lence, always vote the republican ticket,
and second, that the peaceful election by
which this gentleman claims to have Sc
cured his seat is one that will require in
Vestigation. 1t is the claim of Missis-
sippi republicans that this democrat
holds his seat by certificate which is
based upon systematic frauds.

Tho Author OF "Nancy Lee."
Iphiladel phia Times.

There is q man living quietly in London
who is one ofthe most successful writer's
of verse set TO music that Is in England
to-day, yet he is not very widely known
by name. 1t is Frederick Il. Weatherly
and he is the author Of "Nancy Lee"
y song that has been sung In every
quarter Of The globe, and has brought 70
the author an amount of fame and money
that makes him practicall lly.indcpendent
The song was written at Oxford In an
hour. Wcatherly had made an appoint
ment for pupil whom he was coaching
for the annual commencement. The
pupil failed to keep his appointment
and while waiting for him the piece
came suddenly to his mind, and II was
written then and there. One of the
strange things about the song was that
1t was in the heydey of its popularity
about the time of the Princess Alice
disaster. II was being sung on deck just
before the vessel went down.. The fact
was printed in all the English news
papers, and the song suffered q tenn
porary check in its popularity, but
thousands of copies of II are now sold,
not only in Great Britain, but through
Australia, Canada, and in fact wherever
the English language is spoken. Mr..
Weatherly is the author of scores OF
other songs that are not 80 well known.
He has been writing songs ever since he
was an undergraduate. twenty-five
years ago

BLOODLESS BLUFF.
Unsuccessful Effort of the Railroad
Company to Tear Down Build
ings in Shantytown.
A Man With Winchester Stops
the Proceedings, and Puts Fif-
ty Men to Flight.

Notwithstanding the fact that nu-
merous notices have been served by
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany on the occupants Of buildings
on the disputed tract known as
Shantytown to vacate the premises
within certain time, the occupants
refuse to bulge, and Thursday the
company made another bluff, which
proved unsuccessful.
About s o'clock A. M. a gang of
men, about fifty in all, mostly
Italians and Swedes, VINO had been
especially engaged for the purpose,
marched to Shantytown under the
direction of Jack Lynch, Mr.. Nc
Donald of Detective Sullivan's
force, and other employees Of the
Northern Pacific, for the purpose of
tearing down number of shanties
which the occupants had refused to
vacate after the customary notice
had been given.
Officer Ed Barlow followed the
crowd to see what was going on.
The men proceeded to house near
the foot of the hill, south Of the
moter track, and proceeded to tear
it down. They had no more than
commenced the work when the
owner of the house stepped outside
with Winchester rife and in
formed them that he would drop
the first man who attempted to
tear off another board. Nobody
seemed inclined to tear off boards
under the circumstances, and every
body respectfully stepped back,
losing very little time in doing so.
Then the leaders of the party and
the owner of the house argued the
point for IL while without coming to
any understanding. Finally the
owner of the house raised his Win
chester and fred two shots over the
heads of the crowd, and within
two minutes he had the premises
all to himself. The men broke and
ran like "a band of frightened sheep,
and some of them did not stop run
ming until they reached the railroad
tracks.
There are several hundred shan
ties on the disputed track, some of
them having been built at consider
able expense, and the owners of the
buildings declare that they will not
move until the courts decide that
the land belongs to the Northern
Pacific Company.

SPOKANE FALLS TO SEATTLE.
A Party of Engineers Seeking u Short
Cut for a Railroad.

A party of engineers passed
through Snohomish last Tuesday,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
who reported that they were seeking
for a short cut from Spokane to
Seattle for railroad. They went on
up the Skykomish river toward the
mountains, and hope soon to locate
a pass that will give a more direct
route between the points named
than either the Cascade, Cady or
Indian passes.
Such a pass exists, but few people
know where II Is. One of these IL T..
II. Hubbard, the well-known pros
pector, who was to meet the party
of engineers few miles south of the
Cady pass and pilot them to the new
and more direct outlet through the
mountains.
There Is considerable danger In
working In the mountains at this
time of year, because of the swollen
streams and heavy snow storms.
The inference, therefore, Is that the
railroad men mean business and
hope to perfect their line very soon
or the engineers would not now I'M
dertake the work. There Is u gem
eral opinion that the work being
done Is for the Jim Hill road.

A NEW SOCIETY.
The Iowa Boilers Meet and Take
Active Steps.

About fifty ladies, delegates to the
national convention OF the w. G. T. o.,
held meeting at the Palmer house this
morning in response TO call issued by
Mrs. Watson of Pittsburg, the object Of
the meeting being to organize new
woman's temperance society according
to ideas advanced by Mrs. Foster and
others in opposition to the ideas of Miss
Willard and her followers.
A provisional committee of seven was
chosen to prepare an address to the
country and perfect plan of organiza-
ton. Mrs. Phinney of Cleveland was
selected as chairman, it being impossi-
Bile for Mrs. Foster to accept the po-
sition, owing to large amount of other
work on her hands. She will, however,
give the movement her most cordial
support in all directions.
The committee probably will not
issue an address for several weeks, and
after 1t has been issued, call will be
made for national convention.
A local paper says tonight that the
new movement creates considerable dis
cussion about the headquarters of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
1t was plain, it says, from expressions,
that delegates to the convention were
sorry enough that the trouble had
reached this condition.
The vote on Miss Willards reelection
does not express the feelings of all on
the subject of partisanship and non.
partisanship, and it Is not unlikely that
Mrs. Foster will in time get quite fol-
lowing from ladies who have previously
followed Miss Willards fortunes and

oughly organized and their principles

pended or ruled off

VIEWS OF AN EXPERT.
II the Railroads Would Give Fail

II the Railroads Would Give Fair
Rates, a Smelter Would Pay.
"What is the reason that we can
get no Ceur d'Alene ores here? Are
the mines played out?" asked RE-
VIEW reporter of +. j. Carrel, min
ing expert who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the mines of this
whole Northwest.
"They have plenty of ore" he re-
piled.
"rhen why can't we have a
smelter here?"
"The C9ur d'Alene mines put out
only one kind of ore, as everyone
knows, and smelter needs dry ores
as well as wet. The Colville and
they are as yet undeveloped.'
"Then it Is not hardly time for
smelter here?"
eyes indeed, and it could make
money If the railroads would only
make rates. If they will not "a
smelter could not last here. 1t would
fail, just as the Wood river smelters
--one with capital of $1,000, 900
did. The Union Pacific killed them
because 1t wanted to haul the ore all
the way to Omaha, a citya thousand
miles from a mine, and yet 1t has
the greatest reduction works in the
world and does more business than
any other city. If the railroads
would only make us rates we would
be all right. Wemust have cheaper
fuel, and until the Seattle, Lake
Shore d Eastern is completed we
can not be sure of that.
"When the Spokane & Northern
Is completed and the northern coun-
try is tapped and mines developed
then the railroads will want to haul
the ore here; but until such time,
unless the railroads will make rates
for fuel, etc., smelter will not pay

ROMANTIC.
An InsuIt--A Duel to tho Death--A
Marriage.

KANSAS CRY, Nov. IA romance in
real life and one of unusual interest was
developed here to-day when Maurice
5choll' announced his intention of re-
Marguerite Miller, daughter of the bur-
gomaster of town near Stuttein. 1t
was thirteen years ago the couple were
betrothed. One evening when they
were returning from the opera, Edmund
Won WondeiI an army officer insulted
the prospective bride. Scholl challenged
him to a duel and and contact occurred
next morning. Pistols were used and
Won Wqndell was shot through the
heart and instantly killed. Scholl was
badly wounded, but managed to escape.
Since that time he has been an exile
from his native land. He made a for
tune in Kansas City, and as the statute
limitations prevents him from being
prosecuted for his crime, he has arranged
to return to his home and complete the
romance by marriage.
