Hon. E. b. McElroy, commander of

which seem likely to disturb the Ma

far as the department of Oregon is
concerned it cannot observe any order
relative to nOn-attendance unless is
sued directly by the commander-in-
chief. If Wisconsin Grand Army of
the Republic men have not the cour-
age to proceed, McElroy says, then if
need be, the Oregon department will
come on single-handed and alone to
meet with their comrades in Milwau-
kee. Oregon will bring from four to
six carloads of wines, with still other
products. for free distribution, and all
the posts have a free, full and stand
ing invitation to participate and lihate

CHICAGO, July 18.-The Interstate
Commerce committee has commenced
an investigation of the effect of Cana
dian railroads upon the commerce of
the United States. Secretary Stone,
Of the board of trade read a report on
the question submitted by the COM
mittee to the board, His report was
to the effect that the commercial in
terests of the United States were prob
ably favorahly effected by having
open to it many channels of trade.
That the Canadian roads have not di-
verted traffic from the American roads
except in the case of perishable goods
and it is of the opinion that no further
restriction upon commerce between
the two countries by water routes
should be tolerated. The report also
suggested additional legislation, max
ing it unlawful for railroads to com
bine for the formation of associations
like the Trunk line the central traffic ol
railway trusts of any description, be
lieving they destroy competition anG
evade the laws. The latter statement
was unexpected to the interstate com
mittee and created quite a sensation

CHICAGO is attempting a revolution IN
railway coach building. The
distinctive feature of the coach is that It
is all iron or steel No wood IS to be
used IN it's construction. The roof, sides
and ends of the car are made of steel
boiler plates riveted together, so that 1t
is like huge boiler. 1t is not entirely
cylindrical however, but Is nearly
the shape Of horse SHOE
round at the top and fiat
at the bottom. The top is solid but thero
are windows along the sides similar to an
ordinary car which It resembles from the
outside. The car is to be ventilated and
heated by a system of pipes so that there
need not be any communication with the
outside either from the top or from the
sides It is said that the railroad men
are very much interested in this new idea
OF transportation. II is certain that the
people will be seriously interested in this
this sort Of ENGAGED and tight-compart
ment shipment On the English, German
and French railways the system Of locking
passengers IN escapeless compartments
prevails. but there trains going in op-
posite directions do not so frequently at
tempt to pass cash other on the same
track, trains do not exhibit such ten
dency to leave the rails and procede
through the open country or jump over
rivers without particular anxiety about
the presence OF a bridge. Such a car
would be useful for tumbiing down a
mountain side or running through 9
freight train which obstructed the track
Such a car would prove valuable too
when IL might be supposed necessary tC
cremate dfty or sixty people. The cai
would be dumped into lot Of burning
cars. aud with no escape and no rescue
possible, the passengers would b'
quietly and quickly incinerated The peo
pie who are 90 ride in such machine
viii likely take livelier interest in thu
progress Of this novel idea thar the pro
moters themselves. It is likely that som'
people, indeed, might object to being i'm
prisoned for three or four hours OF rapid
rough aud risky travel in such a ma
chine.

The Lucky Man.

Miss Mamie Petticord tall, hand
some young woman Of Winchester, Ky,
recently went on visit to Missouri. and
won the heart of g. A. Goodman of Ham.
ilton while there. After she returned
home they maintained a correspondence,
and became engaged. Invitations were
issued stating that the marriage was to
take place last Tuesday at the home of
the bride. One of the invitations was
sent to Thomas jackson ef that county,
who had also been a suitor for Miss
Petticord's hand, and when jackson re
ceived it he at once called upon the girl
He told her of his devotion
and declared that he would
make better husband for her
than the Missourisn would The inter
view was very affecting. Mr. jackson
wept and told the girl that if he was not
successful in his suit he would kill him
self This softened the girls heart, and
she concluded that she loved Jackson
best She consented to marry him, and
cancelled her engagement with Goodman.
Miss Petticord wrote to her Missouri
lover and told him that she now loved
another When Goodman received the
announcement of her change of mind he
Immediately took the train for
Kentucky. and he arrived in this town
a week ago. He sought an interview
with Miss Petticord, and used the same
arts with which Jackson had been so
successful. He, too prospered with his
suit. and the young woman, changing her
mind again, promised to marry him
Goodman then went back to his hotel,
happy and full Of confidence But while
| he was gone Jackson heard Of what had
occurred and, quickly hunting up Miss
Petticord, secured from her another
promise that she would marry him and
not Goodman Mr.. Goodman was not
daunted He renewed his attentions
and secured another change Of the young
woman's mind For several days
things went on in this manner, first one
young man and then the other being
ahead. The father of each offered him a
farm il he should be successful. The
whole town was deeply interested in the
matter and bet on the result.
Three evenings ago the matter was de-
cided Mr. Goodman had an engagement
with Miss Petticord Mr.. Jackson knew
it, and thought it was time for action.
He procured marriage certificate and a
minister and arrived at the house ahead
of Mr. Goodman When the latter got
there Miss Petticord had become Mrs.
Jackson.
