THAT BRIDGE AGAIN.-On We'd
nesday evening another horse step
ped through a hole In the William
ette bridge on the Polk county side,
nearly breaking its leg. AS this is
the second time that a horse has
stepped through the bridge lately,
the bridge should be repaired, imme-
diately, before any great damage is
done. This Is the second time the
JOURNAL has called the Polk county
commissioners attention to this mat
ter, and it should be fixed. 1t is a
disgrace to the county to let this
bridge go to rack.

THE DOCTOR FEELS BAD.-A
good joke has come to light on a
prominent physician who resides at
q small railway station on the line
of the o. & c., railroad not for from
Salem. In the town which we shall
call Drake, there was q gentleman
who owned number of little pups
of rare fame and beauty. While in
this town, one day young lady who
was favorite of the physician men,
toned, heard of these dogs and ex-
pressed desire of owning one of
them. The doctor had for a long
time been designing in some way to
do some little favor for this young
lady of whom he had become great
admirer and avOwed that she should
have one. A few days ago this
lady who resides at Lebanon passed
through this town we shall call
Drake, and seeing the doctor at the
depot she inquired about that pup
the doctor had promised to secure
for her. AS the train stopped sever
al minutes the gallant doctor just had
time to hastily run to the house
near by and grab one OF the
"beauties," which he ran to the
train with and presented it to the
young lady who was profuse IN her
thanks for the doctors kindness. A
few days after the doctor had occa-
sion to write to the young lady and
In his epistle he asked the privilege
of naming the "doggie," and sug-
gested the name "Sullivan." The
young lady wrote back in quite a
cold manner, that the name Sulli-
van would not be appropriate and
she had already named the canine
Fanny" The doctor is now en-
tirely broken up. He had unfortu-
nately mistaken the sex in his
hasty selection of the pet.

Speaking of the presence in New

WELL he said, "of course we dem,
ocrats of Virginia are very well
pleased at the result, but you must
remember that it isn't quite rs much
of a democratic victory as APP
pears on its face. Mr.. Ma
hone did not represent the
real strength of his party. That was
what the people of the north believed,
and especially the administration,th the
mistake they made being that they
thought Mahone's strength was great
er than that of his party, while IN re-
atty it was less"

SENATOR EDMUNDs' ERROR.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has
recently expressed himself as iavorinG
tbs establishment of national uni
yersity with the money that it is other
wise proposed should 60 to sci
on foot the Worlds Fair, commemora-
tive of the four hundredth anniversary
OF the discovery of America by Christie
pher Columbus.
If the appropriation is not to be
made for the exposition. there are
other objects for which it should be
subscribed far more important to a
larger number of American people
than the endowment of a big national
college.
We are already pretty we'll blessed
with universities and colleges with high
corriculums. and while We cannot have
too many educational institutions OF an
elevated standing, still, what the great
majority Of American people most
need is better conmon-school edu-
cation. There isn't a state III
the Union that oughtn'
to have greater number OF
common schools. This is lament,
ably the case in the South. We need
more public schools aud more months
of tuition in each year.
A measure that will bring about this
result, that is not hampered with toe
many political objections, would ac'
complish greater good to a greater
number than a bill that endows half
dozen big universities.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR ROANOKE E.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR ROANOh l..
The hustling city of Admission, Ala.
is working vigorously for another big
rolling mill to cost 100000, and has
gotten all of the money raised except
$40. 600, which will be forthcoming.
The gentlemen at the head of this
praiseworthY movement claim that
there are number of machine shops,
notably large iron working concern
in Cleveland, Ohio, that promise to
transfer their works to Admission pro-
vided big rolling mill is built.
Here is a splendid OBJECT lesson for
Roanoke. First, the ease and the unan-
unity that makes it possible for tho
people of the Alabama town to sub
serbs so much money to single enter
prise; second, the Inauguration of such
an enterprise that is aimed 10 pave the
way to the establishment soon after,
of industries that can not exist without
the proximity of a rolling mill that can
supply them with the raw material in
the shape Of merchant iron.
If we would have an increase in the
number ofiron manufactures in Roa-
noke, we should follow the example
of Admission and whoop up rolling
mill. There would follow numerous
other industries that simply await the
increase of facilities for the supply OF
the raw material necessary to their ex-
istence.

Huntingdon good place to do up

in about stickfall of type.
THAT little indiscretion of the Johns
town people, patronizing an ''Uncle
Toms cabin show, and the direful
results of the panic which grew out OF
it, is now followed by a food in the
Conemaugh river, which has caused
great destruction to property, and cut

Chairman Dawes, of the senate com.
mittee on Indian affairs, has introduced
a substitute TO the Clifford and Peel bills
providing for the opening OF the Sioux
Indian reservation in Dakota and Ne
braska. The move made by Mr.. Dawes
will undoubtedly block all further prog
ress towards Legislation in the interest
of throwing open the reservation. Dawes
says he is acting in the interest OF the
Indians, while the other bills are in the
interest OF the white people. HIS bill
changes the boundaries proposed in the
Clifford bill, from Battle Greek to Rapid
Greek, which is radical difference at
the outset. In section Is. after erssing
the Clifford preViso that "upon the pas
sage and approval of this act ell title
and interest on the part OF the indians
shall be released and extinguished, !"
Dawes inserts that upon the accept.
ance of this act by the Indians, eto'"
He places the price of the lands at 81
an acre throughout, instead of $l.25 for
period of years sni then so cents an
acre for the land taken after that time.
The Dawes bill requires the consent OF q
majority OF each bsnd of Indians, in
stead of mel ority Of the Indians as a
body. The Clifford bill appropriates
$25. 900 with which to procure their con-
sent whereas Mr.. Dawes proposes to
appropriate only SIS 900.

Played with Orange seeds,

New York World: A brand new
method to play the fsn.tan hos Just been
introduced by some interprising Chinese
gamblers in Mott street who expect to
elude the police. The game, as is we'll
known to most detectives of the sixth
ward, is usually played with o lot Of
little Chinese coins upon long table
BY this new method is is played with o
box full OF Mandarin oranges, which the
dealer buys at wholesale rates from the
fruit dealers down town.
One who does not know the ins and
outs of the heathen's civilization would
think he was before Chinese fruit
dealer psddling out bis oranges by re-
tail at an immense rate of profit.
This uniqne gambler carries his box
of oranges on one arm, while sharp
pointed knife and square chopping
board are also part OF his equipment
With these he goes from one store into
another, or wherever he sees crowd oi
Chinese laundrymen, but instead oil
selling the fruit he leye Gown the chop
ping board and selects good s,z.d
orange, removes the skin carefully and
places 1t upon the board. In the mid
die OF this board or chopping block is
the figure 90.
The gsmblers bet on the number Of
seeds in the orange, twenty being taken
ss the mean. It's 'seyen money" where
there are morelor less than twenty, and
if the player is so disposed be places hiE
money on thst figure itself end wins
three foy one II there are twenty seeds
The dealer gets seven per cent commits
sion. When the bets are laid the dealer
cuts the orange and counts the seeds
Those who ley the money on the right oil
the figure play for less than twenty
thoae on the left for more. Their money
is not taken IN case twenty wins. By 9
curious oriental irony the heaviest lcse,
gets the fragments OF the fruit.
One fellow on Mott street yesterday
tGisposed of half dozen boxes OF oranges
in this way and won ten dollars. l
