Ccmnaris-ns.

So much has been written about and
in reg nd to the very many railroads
that cross and recross this great CONT
nent, that it is a difficult matter to
find anything that has not already
been read and digested by the readers
of the daily and weekly press. Com
ratisOns have been drawn between
the trunk lines Of the East and West
in regard to equipments and furnish
ing of trains, rapid transit and almost
perfect safety 10 life and limb while
travelling, and in almost every case
where such comparisons have been
drawn, the verdict has been in favor
Of the Western railroads. There are
no railways in the United States that
are SO wife awake to the interests of
the travelling public, as those whose
starting points and terminals are in
the West. The great lines of the
East are no better supplied in every
thing that Constitutes a well appoint
ed road than the lines of the West,
and some not So we'll. One of the
railroads of the West, whose lines
extend from Chicago TO St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Kansas City, is not
eXCelleG by any line in it's manage
ment, general makeup and in fact
everything that goes TO stamp it not
only first class road, hut a most
popular one with the travelling public.
We refer to the Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City Railway. Take your
seat in one of the Mann Boudoir
Sleeping Cars attached to one of their
trains, and go flying across the coun-
try, over II smooth track in perfect
safety, taking your supper and break
fast in their elegant and luxurious
dining car, and arriving at your
destinationin st Paul, Minneapolis
or Kansas City, feeling refreshed,
comfortable and at peace with your
self and all mankind, after pleasant
and rapid journey, and you will agree
with us that the best way to go West
is by the Chicago, st. Paul and Kan
sas City Railway. For full parlicu-

A Swindled lcmigrant.

An old German peasant arrived at
Castle Garden one day last week whose
experience is an example of how foreign
ers are duped by tales of American
wealth. lie had been told by an emil
grafton agent that gold was so plenty in
this country that the people gave golden
trinkets to the children to play with, and
trimmed the carriages, buildings and
street lamps with golden ornaments. he
accordingly sold his little place, and
after buying a ticket for New York.
spent the remainder of his money, with
the exception of a few francs, in giving
his neighbors banquet. On his arrival
here he had just seven francs left. The
old man was deplorably ignorant, but
when it dawned ON his mind how he had
been duped, he wopt like a child. He
will be sent back. New York News.

Mystery Solved and Patrtmony Won.

Over thirty-tllroe years ago Washing
ton Tucker, then a resident of this city,
lost his wife, who left him two very
young daughters Soon after he mystic
riously disappeared, and it was CON-
monty believed that he was murdered.
The girls grew up to womanhood and
were married.
Last fall letter strangely came into
the possession of Mr.. P. w. Armstrong,
husband Of one of the girls, which spoke
of the disappearance Of a man in Edgar
county, Ills, fully twenty-five years ago.
The letter further said the man had left
a great deal of property. Mr.. Armstrong
engaged a detective. who went to the
county and discovered that the man was
the missing Washington Tucker. He
had come to that section, married, and
lost his second wife, by whom lie had
FIVE children. He then married again
About year after this marriage he dis
appeared. A year later, in clearing new
ground, the remains Of a man were
found, which, BY some fragments Of
clothing, were identified as Washington
Tucker. There were five heirs by the
second marriage, who were in possession
Of the property by inheritance.
Suit was brought, which resulted ia
vorably for the Columbus heirs, who
will receive their patrimoly.- Columbus

Mr.. Frank Bell. a well known Young
man of this city, has IN his possession
violin nearly three hundred years old,
and which is believed on good authority
to he a genuine AnuI About three
years 60 Mrs, Fell. who is a widow,
and her family went TO li2e i'll Richmond.
Her sou Frank went 70 one OF the public
schools OF that city, and at home took
lessons ON the violin from y local teach
er, German musician, Professor Teiloe.
As the lid progressed in his study he
grew dissatisfied with his fiddle and de-
cidel to buy better one. Talking it
over with q schoOlfellOw, young James,
that boy brtAouSht him Of al old fiddle
ut home a3i offered to sell it to Frank.
This was the famous Amati. The boy
knew but little Of the history of the
fiddle, but when it was fitted with
strings and keys the wonderful tones
wki>h the German professor evolved
from it decided him that it was an ex-
traordinary instrument, and he sold it
TO Young Bell for what seemed to him
ct great tigure-&3J. BY Professor
Teiloe's advice the fiddle was scnt to
New York to q firm who make . spe-
cialty Of repairs. In cleaning the inside
of the violin they discovered scrap Of
paper, yellow with age. on which was
given in Italian the exact record Of this
! CremOna.
"D0 you know what you have Got%'
the New York firm wrote, and when the
instrument had been thoroughly reltted
and restrung the musical people in New
York went crazy about it, and offers
ranging from $500 Up to $1,000 were
made for it.
On its merits as a violin before return
ing it to Richmond, Professor White, Of
New York, and the late Professor Deuf
fette, Of Washington, both we'll known
artists, gave recital to q party Of seventy
or eighty musicians, IL which the Gre
mona was tested for nearly four hours
The old violin diecoursed to the must
clans IN tones mellowed by two and a
half centuries Of age. Amid plaudits
they named it the King Amati."
Then came offer after offer, and the
fame Of '''The King Anlati" crossed the
ocean and the vic:uod heard Of 1t. Sig
nor Spighernie, Of Rome, offered $1,000
for the violin, ord after his death his
son, who won celebrity az a violinist,
made the offer $4,000. The latest bid
made for the fiddle is By Wadsworth &
Co, London, dealers in antiques and Gu
Efosities, who have the refusal at $15, 000

IOwa's Ice Cave.

A party was made up here today to
visit lowa's famous ice cave. 1t is but
half mile from this town, and produces
unlimited ice in summer. The party left
tho Winnesheik house this afternoon and
walked half mile along the Iowa river.
The bluffs at this point are about 400 feet
high. There is steep climb of 200 feet,
and q rock, having the appearance Of
gypsum, juts out for fifty feet. The en-
trance to the cave is a fissure ten feet
wide and twenty feet high. A strong
current of cold air was issuing from the
cave. Candles were lighted and prepare
tionS were made to enter.
Thirty feet inside the cave the path
turns to the left and downward toward
the river. Tho slope is gradual, the walls
and roof being within hands reach most
of the time. One hundred feet from the
mouth the roof and walls were found
coated with ice, which increased in
thickness US the party penetrated. There
was no dripping or mud. and pieces of
ice two fees long were scaled off the
roof. Owing to the titful light and
danger of exploration, the party did not
go in more than 300 feet. The path con-
tinacd to incline toward the river, and

Curious EsosuI. Of Cigarette Smoking.

Two young men of our town addicted
to the constant smoking of cigarettes are
singlllarly affected, not 50 much in mind
as in body. They are becoming spotted
all over their bodies, giving them the
appearance of leopards. Their minds,
though now apparently sound, arc in inn

are SO affected that neither of them can

West Virgiuia's Samson.

Mat Kramer, of Putnam county, this
state, who is supposed by men who know
him to be the strongest man in the civil
lied world, is attracting the attention Of
the sporting circles far and near. One
of his recent feats, in which almost SUI
perhuman strength is called into &C
count, was witnessed only q few days
ago by number of the best citizens.
He raised, apparently with the greatest
ease, q huge pedestal weighing 1900
pounds, and held it aloft above his head
for several seconds. Mr.. Kramer is over
six feet in height and tips the beam at
285 pounds. 1t has been frequently as
serted by papers in this section of the
state that he has exhibited deeds Of
strength that would mako the renowned
Australian giant turn green with envy,
and Editor Tippett this week announces
in his paper that this modern Samson can
vie Sullivan with one hand and thrash
the Boston baked beans" out of him
with the other. There are men in this
county who will stake $1,000 that he is
the strongest human being in existence

Miss Lizzie Duffield who has spent the
past six years in South Dakota, arrived
in the city today en- route to her former
home in Bloomfield. Miss Duffield was
among the first young ladies to brave the
hardships of claim life and take up land
in Dakota, and she is now the fortunate
owner of $50 acres of excellent farm
land, half of which is a short distance
from Harold, Hyde county. The other
quarter section is near the thriving town
of Aulkton, and all of which will GER
tainly be valuable property in time. All
the adventures of life far out upon the
prairie, with the nearest neighbor mile
and n half distant, the perils in storm
and food and the danger of living alone
for weeks at time, have been under
gone. She was one of those brave and
resolute Dakota school teachers who
with a few pupils under her care, en-
countered the awful storm of January,
1888. During the long night which fol-
lowed the dreadful blizzard, with scant
fuel, she kept herself and the children
from freezing only by the utmost exer-
ton, until all were rescued from their
fearful situation at o'clock the next
morning. Moines Qa.) Special.

THE WRONG BOX.

Mr.. Stevenson's latest novel 'The
Wrong Box" purporting to have
been written by Robert Louis Stew
enson and Lloyd Osborne, has
reached us, and we had not pro
ceeded far into the work before a
realization of the wrong box, in
another sense, became apparent.
The only excuse that an author of
Mr.. Stevenson's standing could have
for issuing such weak work Of
fiction can only be found in the fact
that he was in i'll health when it was
composed. There is a sickly flip
pancy throughout the whole story;
it is devoid of strong points, and is
tiresome reading for even an invet-
crate reader of fiction.
This book has neither beginning
nor ending of story; it is without
plan or conception, and lady char
acters are as absent in it as if none
of these beings inhabited the earth.
None but an invalid, whose efforts at
fiction writing had been reduced to
mere mechanism as the result of
long habit, could have produced
such vacancy of idea in so large a
space.
We sympathize with the author in
his affection, and we also sympa-
thize with readers of his latest lite
rary production, who are able to
muster the necessary self-denial to
read the book under notice from
title page to the end of the letter
press.
1t is possible, however, that Mr..
Stevenson had no hand in its prep
aration, and that it may be solely
the work Of a novice in literary ven
lures; if so, It's publication may have
been intended as blessing in dis
mise -

portant to the welfare of the districts
that would be specially benefited;
but, as a national work, it would
largely increase the development of
resources in one of the most fertile
stretches of country in this kingdom.
We think, however, that there is
enough Hawaiian capital unem-
ployed to construct the Hilo and
Hamakua railway and should prefer
to have the road built by our own
people; but if this cannot be effected
let the road be constructed by the
Government, with the assistance of
local or foreign loans. From what
ever source the money may come,
a large portion must be expended
and distributed among Hawaiian
mechanics and laborers, and thus add
to the general wealth and wellbeing
of the kingdom and It's people.
It is true that the profits of the
road, if any, would go to the share
holders wherever they may reside;
but those who build the road take all
the risks, and they earn all the pro
fits that such an enterprise may
produce.
The general belief is that the in
come from the road will commence
very soon after the first few miles
are finished; but for several reasons
paying dividends may be for some
time deferred. At all events this
road should be constructed at the
earliest possible period; it can do no
material harm, and must result in
great material progress and develop
ment, as we'll as prove an important
convenience to the population of a
large and fertile section of Hawaii.
