THE NORTHWESTERN LINE,
G. ST. P, M. & 0. R'Y.

Take this line from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago, Duluth,
Washburn, Ashland and all points
on Lake Superior, and to Sioux
City, Omaha, Kansas City and all
intermediate points.
The Northwestern Line will
take you to the wheathelds of
Dakota and Minneapolis and the
corn fields of Iowa and Nebraska,
to the Black Hills and the wonder
full oil and coal bearing districts of
Wyoming, or it will take you to
the pine woods of Wisconsin and
Michigan, and to the Gogebic Iron
Ranges.
No line is SO we'll equipped for
its passenger business, or gives
more attention to the comfort and
convenience of passengers than
The Northwestern Line" nor
does any other line make as good
connections East, North, and
Southwest. With tourists, land
seekers, or emigrants, in fact with
all the travelling public "The
Northwestern Line" stands first.
At Mcmillan Junction the G. B.

K. S. Marstrum in his last arti-
Gle to the Wausau Torch oil
Liberty speaks of Holzhay, as
follows: "Holzhay, the northern
outlaw, is going to make a fight
for liberty in the courts, after all.
What earthly show he has, is not
apparent to the naked eye, but
lawyers must be supported some
way, it seems, and that's the
Wherefore" in this case. And
right here the hypocracy of some
legal luminary bowling himself
hoarse about protected interests"
strikes the practical observer in all
its concrete absurdity. Protected,
indeed? Can any reader name a
single interest, profession or indus
try, so thoroughly fostered, pro-
tected and maintained by statutary
red tape paid for by the taxpayer)
as is the pettifogger, who would
starve on legitimate practice of
true law or equity?
But this is transgressing from
the subject. A change of venue
has been applied for, and of course
must be granted, as there isn't a
man in Gogebic County but
knows Iolzhay IS guilty. This
compels the county to keep him
another six months before any
trial can come on. And the
expense of keeping a prisoner of
this kind is no small item. The
county (which by the way pays
the attorneys on both sides) must
pay the witnesses (also both Sides

Asl1S oOll OI republican w ana
maker is" said one of the Virgin
ians as they came out.
General Green B. Raum, the
newly appointed Commissioner of
Pensions, is in charge of the
Pension office. General Raum is
a man of national representation;
he served one term in the House
of Representatives from the
Thirteenth Illinois district, but his
greatest reputation was gained as
Commissioner of Internal Reven-
ue, position he ably filled from
1867 to 1883. His acceptance of
the office is a great surprise in
Washington, as it is we'll known
that he gave up a law practice
worth more than double the
salary of the office. 1t is gener-
ally believed among republicans
that he accepted the office to
relieve the President from a very
embarrassing position. Gen. Raum
has a splendid war record, and is
an enthusiastic working member
of the G. A. R. His appointment
has, I honestly believe given more
real and general satisfaction here
than any one made by the Presi-
dent. Gen. Raum was not an
applicant for the position. His
name was presented to the Presi-
dent by Secretary Rusk and
Senator Mitchell, at different times
and unknown to each other.
The Sunday Telegraph in a
short editorial sums up the South
ern question as follows: eff the
South does not want to see what it
and its dough-faced allies at the
North are pleased to call the
waving of the bloody shirt, let it
cease to erect monuments to the
memory of dead rebels and the
accursed confederacy, and have
great demonstrations on such
occasions; cease to educate
its youth that the effort to destroy
the Union was right; cease to
disfranchise millions of legal
voters; cease to steal states; cease
to murder negroes because they
are not democrats; cease to tram
pie upon the constitution of the
United States; cease to belittle the
efforts of the loyal army to save
the Union; cease to display the
hated old stars and bars upon
great occasions; cease to worship
Jeff Davis; cease to regard the
efforts of the North to save the
Union as wrong, and the efforts of
the South to destroy it as right,
and they will not have long to
wait to discover that the North no
longer waves the bloody shirt; no
longer warns the rising generation
against regarding much of the
conduct of the South as danger
Gus to the best interests of the
country. When the South does
these things it will find the great,
loyal, growing North ready to
clasp hands with them and pledge
a new fri endship for the people of
that section and loyalty to this
great Republic, and not until
then"

Postmaster General Wanamak-
er has incurred the ill-will of
some Virginian Republicans. This
is how: In 1886, a colored labor
CT from Virginia named Hunter
was removed and his place given
to a white democrat from the
same state named Wrenn. Some
Virginian republicans called on
Mr.. Wanamaker to urge that
Hunter be put back into his old
place, and were thunderstruck
when the Postmaster General
replied as follows: 81 appreciate
the interest shown in behalf of
Mr.. Hunter; and I regret that I
have not the time to 60 over the
case with you. But so far as Mr..
Hunters republicanism is concern
ed, that alone shall not weigh in
his favor, nor shall the democracy
of Mr.. Wrenn operate against
him" But" remarked one of the
delegation, "Wrenn's politics got
him in" Il know" replied Mr..
Wanamaker "They (the dem
ocrats) would turn US out, but I

REMARKABLE INVENTION.

An Ingenious Machine Which Does Away
with Movable Types.
There is on exhibition in New York
an invention which proposes to do
away with movable types in printing.
There is but one type for each letter,
figure or punctuation mark, and all
are cut On one cylindrical metallic
shell. The mechanism is operated by
a system of keys similar to tha0em-
ployed in ordinary writing machines.
The printing does not begin until the
keys for about fifty letters have been
touched, when character at time is
linked Immediately before its i'm
preston ON the paper. A unique
feature of the invention is that the
spacing out and shortening of the
lines, known in printers parlance as
Justification" is automatically ac-
complished by the machine independ-
ent of any mental effort of the opera
tor, and when the work is done each
line is found to end even with the
others. To '.justify" a line in using
movable types the compositor must
when it is nearly completed either
put in thicker or thinner spaces.
The reproduction of the work done
on the machine now on exhibition Is
accomplished by photography. The
work OF composing on the machine Is

THE SOUND COMPASS.
An Ingenious Device for Preventing Co
lisions at Sea.

An Ingenious Device for Preventing COL
lisiOns at Sea.
The fearful disaster to the Geiser has
again drawn notice to the proposed device
for overcoming the perils of fogs at sea.
About the only danger in ocean travel now
adays is that Of collision in fog. Flres
can be extinguished full as well as on land,
for the apparatus provided is powerful, al.
ways ready, and there is no dearth OF
water. Electric lights conquer darkness OF
night, and If fogs could be penetrated or dis
sipated in some way, about the last element
of danger would be removed. The device
that seems to promise the best protection is
what is known as the ''sound compass"
1t was originated in 1877 by seaman
named Jefreys, and although it has been
a subject of discussion among vessel asso-
Citations for five years, it has not yet been
adopted.
It is simple and it does not appear that
it could be improved upon in any partlcu-
lar. The "sound compass" would be
simply a printed circular-shaped card at
tached to the ships compass. According
to black, heavy strokes, short or long, as
they may be, the ships whistle would lndl-
cate the course on which she was salllns
These signals made at intervals OF a minute
can ordinarily be heard several miles
away. When the officers Of any vessel hear
such signal whistles by looking at their
"sound compass they can at once tell IN
what direction to look for the signaling ship.
The signals can soon be committed to
memory and the system is such that its de
fects cause little annoyance. One long

sneed is the ruling idea OF the age.
Even the traveller in search OF health
ia in a hurry, and insists on combining
the excitement of a match against
Time with the pursuit of Hygela. Eli
teen miles an hour over the surface OF
a glorious river, winding through the
finest scenery in the world, does not
satisfy the man of leisure on sum-
mer excursion. He prefers straight
rush through seas of dust and storm
If cinders at thrice the pace. He
votes the steamboat a ''slow COACH
and takes the express train, from
which he can distinguish no feature of
the vanishing landscape as it streams
to the rear, and thanks his stars that
he is darling over the earth's surface
at a rate which renders its beauties
undistinguishable.
But perhaps, after all, the passion
for rapid motion is no stronger now
than before steam was put in harness.
The human race is naturally prone to
velocity. Nothing in the story of Jack
the Giant-killer delights children so
much as the episode of the seven
leaeued boots. and we remember the
f1ying carpet and aerial steed OF the
Arabian Nights Entertainments, when
all the "slower" results of enchantment
are forgotten. Sixty years ago car
rage and four was considered a spirit
stirring arrangement, and post-boys
were feed munifcently to keep their
cattle on the gallop. The liberality of
the old woman who offered her bacon
to feed the furnace of a Mississippi
steamboat when it's rival was getting
ahead was prompted by the same in
stinct which moved our ancestors to
bride the postillions of their day to
ply the whip and spur.
It Is useless to reason against the
general desire to push ahead. 1t is
human nature. All the resources OF
art and science are laid under contri-
button to accomplish this grand OBJ
iect, and the most wonderful of all
modern wonders is the progress of pro-
erosion. A voyage across the Allan
tic was six or eight weeks affair
within the recollection Of some of u.s.;
but now, steamers occasionally slip
over in from six to eight days!
And speed is the word on the Road
of Life as on the public highways.
From the universal anxiety of the ac-
tive classes to make the most of every
moment, one might suppose that the
clock of Time was pretty near its final
tick, and that mankind, aware of the
fact, were afraid of being caught at the
great sine die adjournment of human
affairs with some unfinished busi-
ness" on their hands. N. Y. Ledger.

of that vigorous Los Angeles County

they were apples or oranges fallen

"You go out there" remarked he'
land dig three or four inches in the
sand and out will come your scorpions.
Sometimes you will get half dozen IN
place. Once they strike the air they
get cross and sour, and if you coop
three or four of them up together you
will get a magnificent fight. There Is
no let-up to a tarantula when once ne
gets started on the war-path. 1t means
that either he is to die or his enemy IS.
1T has been raining down there, and
the rain always brings out the scor-

any around, but get good shower or
two and you will find enough to
brighten you.
"a scorpion never brings forth more
than one lot of young. AS soon as
they are ready to begin eating they

old one and actually eat her alive.
This is a strange thing, but it is true.

five years that have lived at Pomona

little eyes. It's color is light yellow.
Besides the ten legs it has couple OF
terrible claws. Its sting is in it's tail,
and the quickness with which it can
use it is one of the most wonderful
things in nature.
..Despite the large number OF the re-
pulsive things in certain sections OF

are comparatively rare. l do not know

There is about the usual supply OF
centipedes and tarantulas in Los

scorpion, are seen oftenest during the

great horror of them, and old-timers'

"A Digger Indian who came down
from the tin mines last Friday had his
left hand tied up in a sling, and 1t was
swelled very big. He had been bitten
by a tarantula and was suffering great
pain. A Pomona doctor fixed him out,
however, and he is getting along al
