HE WAS A GOOD MAN.

vivid Pen Portrait of a Kentucky Min
lister of the Olden Time.
a tall, thinnish man, with silky pale
brown hair, worn long and put back be-
hind his ears, the high tops OF which bent
forward a little under the weight, and thus
took on the most remarkable air of paying
incessant attention TO everybody and every
thing; set far out in front Of these ears, as
though it did not wish to be disturbed by
what was heard, white, wind splitting
face, calm, beardless and seeming never TO
have been cold, or to have dropped the
kindly dew of perspiration; under the
serene peak of this forehead a pair of large
gray eyes, patient and dreamy, being habit
ually turned inward upon mind toiling
with hard distractions; having within
him a conscience burning always like
planet.
A bachelor, being logician; therefore
sweet tempered, never having slipped the
sour cup of experience, gazing covertly
at womankind from behind the delicate
veil of unfamiliarity that lends en-
chantment; being a bachelor and
bookworn, therefore already old at forty.
and a little run down in his toilets,
a little frayed out at the elbows
and the knees, little seamy along the
back, little deficient at the heels, In
pocket poor always, and always the poorer
because of a spendthrift habit in the mat
ter of secret charities; kneeling down by
his small hard bed every morning and
praying that during the day his logical
faculty might discharge its function NOR
ally, and that his moral faculty might dis
charge its function logically, and that over
all the operations of all his other faculties
he might find heavenly grace to exercise
both a logical and a moral control.
At night kneeling down again to ask
forgiveness that, despite his prayer OF the
morning, one or more of these same facul-
ties-he knew and called them all familiar
ly by name, being a MISUNDERSTANDING
gone wrong in manner the most abnor-
NAL. shameless and unforeseen. Thus, on
the whole, man shy and dry, gentle, low
able, timid, resolute, forgetful, remorseful,
eccentric, impulsive, thinking too well Of
every human creature but himself; an il
logical logician, an erring moraiist, wool
gathering philosopher, but, humanity
speaking, almost a perfect man.-James
Lane Allen in Harper's.

Various Railroad RuniOrs.

While in Lewiston last week
we interviewed the people who
are supposed to be well posted
on railroad matters, and after
learning their views on the
situation, we concluded that
these knowing ones know no
more about it than we do.
Is Everything is obtainable ex-
cept facts. 1t is even uncer-
tain when the Northern Pacific
branch will reach Lewiston.
There has been trouble and
delay in securing right of way
across the reservation. And it
seems that the Northern Pacific
people are unable to sell the
100000 of bonds required
to build the branch, on ac-
count Of the panicky condition
of the money market, and that
work is to be suspended, and
the terminus of the road loca-
ted at Kendriek, on Potlatch
creek, until the necessary
funds for its extension to Lew
iston are Forthcoming.
! Mr.. Fletcher, engineer in
charge of the branch, told us
that the road would be finish
ed to Lewiston and Tammany
by April L. He said that he
had made two surveys to Cam
as Prairie, one by way of the
Clearwater river and up Cot
tonwood creek, the other by
Way of Waha and Craig's
mountain, but the grades on
both routes were not satisfac-
tory, and he expected to take
the field again in the spring to
determine definitely the best
OF the several routes. He did
not know whether the compa-
ny intended building to Camas
Prairie or not. The way to find
out, Mr.. Fletcher said, was to
offer the company a subsidy,
and if they decided to accept
the subsidy we could then be
sure of having a railroad.

u. s. Senators Elected.

The senatorial deadlock came
to a termination last Thursday,
resulting in the election Of
sShoup and Mcconnell for the
two short terms, and Dubois
for the six year term. A COM
+ bine was completed between
the forces of the successful
candidates, 20 members being
in the combination, to elect
iShoup first, Mcconnell next,
and Dubois last, allowing the
two first named to draw fer the
long and short term Of the
shorter TERMS, giving Dubois
the six-year term commencing
March 4, 1891.
y "A proposition was made to
Clagget on the basis of the Du-
bois and Shoup combination
with him, but he saw fit to de-
cline. Mcconnell accepted and
was taken into the combine.
g The joint session was held
in the house Representatives
which was filled with citizen
and lady spectators. Lieut.
governor Wiley presided, and
read aloud the sections of the
U. 8. revised statutes, bearing
on the election of senator's.
The first ballot resulted,
Dubois, II; Shoup, 0; Clagget,
9y'No choice.
Second ballot, Dubois, II;
Shoup, 49, Clagget, 8; Neon
nell, B. No choice
On the next ballot Shoup
received 80 votes, and was de-
clared elected.
On the next ballot McCon-
nell received 20 votes and was
declared elected.
Z At this juncture enemies of
Dubois moved to adjourn. The
motion was lost on a vote of
20 to rs, the democrats voting
with Clagget's friends to ad-
journ.
