CANADA WILL R-TALlATE.

Tariff Shortly.


Tariff Shortly.
OTTAWA, Oct. 17.-There appears to
have been, as if by mutual understand
ing. general attack, with threats of re-
taliation, against the United States upon
the part Of the conservative press of
Canada al along the line. The govern
ment press Of the Dominion is slow to
take any important step where the pol
icy Of the administration is concerned,
except under instructions from Ottawa,
and it is generally believed that the
mandate has gone forth to prepare the
people OF Canada for such remodeling
of the Dominion tariff during the ap-
preaching session of parliament as will
meet the Mckinley bill on its own
ground.
The Halifax Mail the organ Of Hon.
Charles Tupper, minister of marine, has
taken very decided stand, characteriz-
ing the Mckinley bill as an act of WAR
on the British empire.
In 1888 Canada sold us $42, 800, 900
worth of produce and bought Of us $4S,-

A BIOLOGIST ENGAGED.
An Expert Will Search Water for
Animal Matter.
This at the Suggestion of Chief
Chemist Hodges.
Water Can Be Used for irrigation
Only Saturdays.

Aldermen Bond, jerks. Robins. Mer-
rill, McGregor and Hebard attended a
special meeting Of the city council yester-
day afternoon. Water was the considera-
ton.
A very interesting technical communi-
cation from Chief Chemist W. B.
Hodges, of the Union Pacific. was read.
he has analysed water samples from the
well at Nineteenth street, on Crow Creek.
His chemical investigations were not en-
tirely satisfactory and on his recommen-
dalton a biologist will make tests. A DR..
Clifford, of Omaha, was suggested as per-
haps the only expert in this line the
West, and 800 was mentioned as his fee.
DR.. Clifford will get the job. 1t is the
desire Of Mr.. Hodges to ascertain if the
animal matter occurring in the water is
harmful.
Mr.. jerks, chairman of the water com
mittee offered a resolution calculated to
enforce economy on the patrons of the
system. Following is the section as
amended and re enacted:
Water for irrigation or spnnkling
shall be used only from G a. m. to 10 a.
M, and from 4 p. M. to 9 p. m. during
the irrigating season, which season shall
extend from the LIST day of May until the
LIST day of October in each year, and dur
ing other portions OF the year water shall
be used for irrigation and sprinkling only

The editor OF a newspaper at an alleged
new town on the line of the Texas and
Pacific railroad gives vent to the sup
press anguish of a narrowed up soul as
follows; This is the last time we shall
allude to the persistent omission to stop
at this own OF the trains of the Texas
and Pacific. The old excuse of the CON
ductors that they wouldn't know SkitviIle
If they were to see it, appears singularly
thin in the face of the fact that this morn
ing we personally planted a large painted
stake beside the track which could be
readily seen by the engineer for the dis
lance of half a mile. This evening a nail
will be driven into said stake and
McGlue's stable lantern hung thereon.
If the night express also ignores the sig
nal it will be time for the American peo-
pie to fully understand the malice of this
Infamous blow leveled at the prosperity of
a growing metropolis by a bloated and
cowardly monopoly"

Pennsylyania railroad engine No. 1898,
though its number starts with the figures
supposed to bring misfortune, is just now
doing more for a days work than any
other piece of locomotive machinery in
the country. 1t makes two round trips a
day between Pittsburg and Altoona. or
46S miles. six days of the week. On
what passes as its Sunday off 1t takes an
exercise squirt of 235 miles, or one round
trip. Its weekly mileage is 3,042 miles,
winch IS to say that it runs the equivalent
of the circumference OF the earth every
two months. Its actual running time is
fifteen hours and fifty minutes out OF
every twenty-four, at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour. She happens to be
doing this because she is one of the new
passenger engines which the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is building with extra
large boilers, OF the sort heretofore used
on the freight engines.

duck hunting yesterday morning. After
taking in the lakes they walked about ten
miles toward Nebraska before noticing
that they were getting off the reservation.
There was nothing to do but hoof it
home, and they were the three weariest
men in tho country when they struck the
town late in the afternoon. It is said
that the sight of Marshall painfully drag
ging along his 200 pounds of avoirdupois,
and telling his fellow sufferers to
keep a sharp lookout for the
foolkiller was enough to make a
hacker Of Limerick laugh. Offner-mild,
gentle Franks sure he's crippled for
life and Bookwalter was so tagged hat he
couldn't kick. The worst of it was that
the only duck they saw was a little cotton
tail rabbit that they let escape for fear Of
killing the dog, which pointed the game
