According to writer from London to The

The Washington correspondent of the
Pioneer Press says that congressman
Hansbrough was considerably disap-
pointed in getting left in the appoint
ment of inspector of steam vessels, which
plum was carried off by John D. Sloane,
but he has been looking in another direc.
tion, and hopes to secure good govern
ment position for North Dakota man.
One of the first bills he will introduce
will provide for customs district of
North Dakota, and if he gets it through
will present man for collector. He is
not going to have the district created
for the purpose of establishing a fed
eral Office for North Dakota man,
but he says the needs of the new state
demand it. North Dakota has $50
miles Of border, and it is country that
needs looking after. From the Red river
to Turtle Mountain it is we'll populated
on both sides of the boundary, and it has
not been q difficult task for the Mani
tobans to evade the custom house officers
and smuggle in various articles upon
which duty should be collected. This is
especially so in the matter of stock 70,
market, which can be driven for many
miles and passed through far beyond the
reach of the custom house officers. Mr.
Hansbrough has recently applied for the
appointment of a deputy collector to be
stationed somewhere on the North Da
kota border, ahd Colonel Edwards has
given him favorable reply, By law the
Dakotas are not in any customs district
although the st. Paul or rather Mime
sofa district officers exercise supervisor
over that section. This state of affairs
was not intentional, but an oversight

Ono Torch Of Nature.

When the Georgia farmers and editors
were in Ohio, Ben Russell, of The Bainbridge
Democrat, made short speech in which be
alluded to the fact that he had fought at
Gettysburg
A short time after lady approached Ed
itor Wrench, of The Dalton Argus. and with
evident emotion asked him:
"Where is the member Of your party that
fought at Gettysburgf'
Editor Wrench hesitated about pointing
Mr.. Russell out, fearing that under the fnAu-
ence Of evident grief and excitement the lady
might reproach him. Some one else, however,
pointed him out, and as the lady started to-
ward him Mr.. Wrench turned away, not car
ing to witness what might be a painful aud
embarrassing scene The lady, reaching Mr..
Russell, said:
'Did you fight at Gettysburgr
II had that honor, madam" replied Mr..
Russell, modestly.
MY husband was killed at Gettysburg" {"
said the lady, hardly able to fashion the words
with her trembling lips.
"That battle was the occasion of great grief,
madam, to thousands of good women on both
sides of the line. /" replied Mr. Russell. bowing
his head.
81 just wanted to say to you" here
the lady's voice failed, and putting out her
hand she grasped the hand Of the Gee rgian,
and, sobbing violently. held it a moment and
then turned away
Hundreds Of men and women witnessed the
incident. But hardly one with dry eyes.
That sign of forgiveness and love, that lived
through bitter loss and bereavement, was
more eloquent than words could have been.

THE CATTLE DOWN GRADE.

The average price Ofliving cattle, per
head, at Chicago, in the years named,
has been 1884 Is in 1880, $3O.51 in 1881,
$35. O5 in 1882, $3S. 66, in 1888, $50. 25 in
1884, $2S. 40 in 1885, 1913 in 1887, $19.SS
in 1888. and $1S.N in 1889, but the
price of beef to consumers seems to
be no cheaper than in 1880 to 1884.
These figures are very suggestive,
and a close study of them will show
why land in the Middle and Eastern
States is depreciating in value, in
stead of increasing, as would seem
the natural result. The present price
of cattle is about One-half what it
was six years ago. On the cheap
public lands of the far West they may
be bred and raised at the present
prices with a fair profit, but on the
higher priced land in the East they
are now put on the market at an alb
sOlute loss. Railroads have Oblitera-
ted distance and the cattle from the
West are now put in the Eastern
markets as cheaply as cattle raised a
few miles out of New York. The re-
suit is increase of the price of land in
the West and decrease in the East
until land of the same quality, East
and West, will be equalized in price.

CLOSE CALCULATION.


How Jim Lyle's Cnerring Eye Aided Him
in Saving the Paymaster's Car.
Among the recently invigorated liars of
the town is one just returned from session
with ozone in Colorado. It was his first trip
through the mountains, and he was much af-
fected by the feats Of engineering skill there
manifested, as witness the following:
II had heard of the curve on the Pennsyl-
vania, where, according to the time card
scheduled, the engineer is obliged to lean out
of his cab and exchange tobacco with the
brakeman on the rear end, so as to give the
passengers something to talk about, and I
now believe it. There was an old, honest,
horny handed miner who rode over the road
out of Denver with me, and he told me sew
eral things. Once, while we were being
jerked around the edge of the mountains and
could look out from under the roots of our
hair at the track opposite in the valley, he
told me a tale. Said he:
That yere track down yam is the one
we're onto. but we won't tech it fer an hour.
We run up the ravine an down the side OF
the mountain an double back. Down thar is
where Jim Lyle saved the paymaster o. the
road
"'Howr inquired.
Az "SAo Wills "oys no pay IuoSUcE > C<tT
was hitched onto the hind end o. the freight
train, his own engine havin' had little trou-
BILE with her runnin' gear an being aban-
doned fer awhile up the road. Well, the
train was snortin' and crawlin' aroun' the
mountain, when all of a sudden the back
brakeman comes a-runnin' up and yells to
Jim:
Pull out! Pull out! They's a gang o.
has
after us! Pullr
''Well, Jim Lyle noticed that. He seen at
wunst that the engine had been fixed up, an
that the rustlers had took her to ketch him an
git the dust in the paymaster's car, so he
pulled out right peart an tried to OUTRAGE 'em,
but it want no CO. They KEEP gitten' up on
him.
''Pretty soon he struck the beginnin' o. this
yere curve. He didn't slack breath, an the
conductor came rushin' up an bellered:
For Gods sake, what kin we dot If we
run this way we'll climb rail-
'Sallright,' said Jim Lyle. If I calclate
rightly that car is saved an he gave her
another pull out, an just as we reached right
here he jerked her wide open. Then we see
what was what. Lookin' back, I, bein' on
the train, seen the last coach go upin the air;
there was jerk, an away over into the canon
she WENT
"'Well, where does the salvation Of the
coach come inp asked. 4 don't see any par
ticular advantage in being spilled over
mountain side and being shot by train rob-
bers'
"'Now don't git risky said the old man.
I'm tellin' this yere an amt done. That
there coach, as l say, sailed over ofin the
track just like the hind boy did when you
used to play ''crack the whip" at school. 1t
loated down as nice as you please an lit on
the track below in the valley, an with the
force it was slung rolled ten miles to the next
station. When we got there it was in on the
sidin' an we pulled by, an when the light
engine load O. rustlers come pullin' along the
townspeople was waitin' fer 'em an the new
cemetery was started in good shape. ~
