million Of dollars for the capital Of the

their united energies but most Of their

to all this Was the great influence Of

10 6gli. fcriti and the battle wsged BY
Bismarck and its combined hosts in
1883 were a sham conflict in compari-
sou with the struggle that is 10 come.
All these things must be taken into
consideration by the people Of Devils
Lake. That our city is entitled TO the
capital Of the state of North Dakota, by
reason Of its central location; by reason
OF its great advantages and charming
surroundings; by reason OF its. neglect
at the hands Of the law makers and
those who have managed the d,str,.
button Of public institutions In the past,
cannot he denied. But these facts will
not be considered by the politicians
who are not interested in our welfare
when the grand drawing Of prizes takes
place a few months hence.
Something besides newspaper opin.
ions will be necessary TO bring the
capital TO Devils Lake. Tho me who
haye been dcvo,ing their whole time to
the requirement Of wealth and personal
advantage, while the newspaper has
been booming the town and the country,
must lay aside. their selfish pursuits
and resolve to do something pro bono

ENGLISH RAILROAD METHODS.
Odd Experiences of an American in Eng
land Who Lost His Railway Ticket,

Odd Experiences of an American in Eng
land Who Lost His Railway Ticket.
An American gentleman recently had
an amusing experience on an English
railroad, which demonstrates the Brit
on's fondness for red tape. He had
bought an excursion ticket to some point
few miles outside of London, the fare
being about three shillings for both
ways, and in getting on the train COM
ing back to town he found that his re-
turn ticket was missing. When the
guard came around for his ticket he told
him that he had lost it, whereupon the
guard demanded fare from the station
at which the train had been made up,
amounting to seven shillings and six
pence. The passenger, of course, pro-
tested against this, and mentioned the
station at which he had boarded the
train. and the guard replied that he had
no assurance that the passenger had got
ten on at that point. Then the passen-
ger refused to pay at all and stuck his
card into the guards hand. Two or
three days subsequently, the passenger
received letter from the railroad COM
pany saying that report had been
made to them of the loss OF his ticket
and hoping that the affair might be
amcably adjusted" To this communi-
cation he paid no attention whatever.
Three or four days afterward he receiv-
ed formidable envelope, with the name
OF the railroad printed in full in one cor
ner, and the document within protested
against the silence with which the pre-.
vious note had been treated, snd after
going over the whole details of the mat
ter ended by declaring that some settle
ment would have to be arrived at. Then
the passenger sat down, very much
amused over the amount of stationery
and postage the railway was spending
upon a railroad ticket worth, perhaps, a
shilling, and wrote out long and hu-
morous account Of how he had deter
mined on this suburban excursion and
exactly what his movements were from
the time he took the cab to drive to the
London station on his outward Journey
until he missed his ticket after he had
started to return home. This contribu-
tion was received in all seriousness at
the railroad office and in few days he
had an answer to it, stating that they
were very much Obliged for the careful
and explicit statement, and that the
railroad company would not press for
any further payment. Obviously they
have time to do things in England which
they not time to do bere. II this story
did not come from thoroughly respon
slble and reliable source one would be
inclined to doubt it's truth, but without
doubt it is simple statement of fast
". Y. Mail d Express.

OF feet. The exercise Is mOnotonous, hut
becomes diversion for the natives and
is made an essential part OF their wor-
ship and temple rites.
Still further up the coast, exposed to
the open sea, is the opulent city of Mad.
ras, extending over large territory and
skirted by innumerable Indian villages
For ten miles or more the city lies spread
out along the shores, against which the
heavy surf is always rolling Immense
breakwaters of artificial tone reach out
on either side. cOnverging to narrow
opening. and form q safe entrance to the
only harbor on the coast. A colossal
light houst, one OF the largest in the
world. signals the mariner and guides
him over the waters. The city has good
railway communication with Bombay
and Calcutta, and is the capital OF the
Madras presidency. With million in
habitants, embracing a large number of
European residents and merchants, with
numerous industries and some enter
prise, and presenting all the shifting
phases OF Oriental life, there Is much in
Madras to incite interest,
In the native town, which is by far
the greater part of the city, the HindoO
customs, costumes and modes prevail.
The narrow streets are always crowded
with pedestrians, who jostle one another
on all Pides. No one thinks of confining
himself to the side walks, but makes free
use OF every part OF the street, ming'ing
promiscuously with carriages and push
pushes, and disputing the wav with bull
locks and horses. In riding in carriage
it is necessary to employ several servants
to run ahead and clear the streets, so
needless are the people who seem lost TO
all sense Of danger. One can but see in
the dense throng, through which he
must force himself. very prevalent
stupidity, which if due to the excessive
use Of tobacco, opium and liquor made
from rice called arak, quite common
among the natives. Little naked boys
will run along by the side of a carriage
to attract attention, and are pretty sure
to accomplish their object in startling
manner. In some way quite incompre-
bensible to US, they are able TO make
very loud noise by striking their bellies
with quick blow. Having startled one
out of his wits by the report, they ask
for backsish. 1t is really as wonderful
to hear the report as il is interesting TO
catch the expression Of the faces OF these
bar rbsrian children, asking for q fee,
which they are pretty sure to receive.
Among the beautiful buildings that
give modern air to many of the streets
of the place, the British Club House may
be pointed out as one Of the finest, COM
pletest and most elegantly furnished Of
its kind in all the East, and is the pride
of the English people and an ornament
to the city. The battlemented fort at
the entrance, with its large garrison and
heavy batteries, the handsome govern
ment offices, the palatial residences, the
imposing school and college buildings,
and the magnificent churches and cathe
drals, mark the substantial and chang
ing architecture that is transforming
Madras into a modern and beautiful city,
through the instrumentality Of the An
glo Saxon race and civilization.
