OHICAGOsS TRIUMPH.

We have heard good deal lately about the Windy City, and much of it has been deri- sive. But he laughs best who laughs last, and it is Chicago's turn now. She won yes- terday and won easily. At no time was any of the ether contestants within soaring dis tanoe. The general verdict will be that Chicago deserved to win. She went to work with vim, and while New York was mak- ing feeble efforts the ''heaEy men" of Chica. go were subscribing large and sufficient amounts of money. Chicago's campaign has been throughout skillful one. 1t has been characterized by energy, enthusiasm and liberal expenditure of money. All the Chi goans have been united and have pulled to- gether. In New York the case has been very different. The New Workers were slow in raising the necessary funds, though when they did take hold the money came. But there has been nsan evident lack of ,enthusi. asm there, and not little open and we'll di- rected opposition. Had not the silver tongued Depew come to the rescue New York would have made an even poorer showing than she did. Even he could not save the matter.
 Chicago will probably set about prepara- tions for the great fair with the same energy and enthusiasm she has shown in getting herself selected. And nobody, except per haps St. Louis. will begrudge her what credit and money she may make out of 1t.

 Another attempt will be made this year in congress to enact federal law providing for the branding of adulterated food compounds as such, and for inaicting penalties on those who fail to comply with the law. Since the failure of similar act in the last congress the necessity for more strict provisions, whether federal or State, has become more apparent. The bill introduced by Senator Faulkner seems to be measure we'll adapted to the needs of the case, and it has received the hearty endorsement of the committee on agriculture. The real danger to the measure lies, however, in amendments, artfully cal culated to destroy it's usefulness, which may be tackled to the measure before it is out of congressional meshes.

THE RAILROAD MUDDLE.


 President Blackstone of the Chicago and Alton railroad has made quite a stir. The remedy for the existing evils in the railroad situation he declares to be this: The national government shall acquire the ownership of all the railroads in the United States which are now used for interstate traffic; such railroads to be acquired by the exercise of its right of eminent domain, or by purchase. under such limitations and rules as to price as congress may determine; the payment for the roads to be made in bonds drawing not more than per cent. interest; the control of the roads shall be vested in @ national board of directors; the employees to be selected as they now arc for filling positions in the vari- ous departments of the civil service; the dis- charge and employment of men for partisan reasons to be forbidden; rates for transporta- ton to be such as will pay running expenses, interest and repairs.
 If the United States Is going into the rail- road business this plan may be as good as any. But the experience of countries where the railroads are owned and operated by the State has not been such as to encourage the adoption of any such scheme here. And as things go in this country 1t would be practi- cally impossible to keep the railroad business out of politics. It has enough to do with politics now. but 1t would be much worse under the plan proposed by President Black stone. And there are other things to be thought of. If the national government goes into the business of buying and operating railroads 1t must also engage in building new ones. Then trouble will commence in earn est. Every inland town in the country will demand an air line to the seaboard. If the nation owns the railroads it must build loco motives and cars. Having gone thus far, il might find 1t necessary to make rails. Nc wonder the Socialists are boosting of theil progress.

The Compromise of Two Opposing Warriors In a Louisiana Swamp.

The Compromise of Two Opposing
 Warriors In a Louisiana Swamp. From the St. Paul Pioneer-Pressl Adjt.-Gen. Mullen was in reminiscent mood yesterday. "I will tell you little ex- perience had down in Louisiana in 1S62," he said. "I was member of the Thirtieth Connecticut Volunteers. The opposing arm ies had come into pretty close quarters, and confederate out pickets, stragglers, ,and skir- mischief. Three companies of our regiment were ordered out on skirmish duty. We marched down, five paces apart, according to regulations, into perfect morass. The wa ter was waist deep everywhere.
 "I wasn't very tall, and found it necsssa- " to hold up my cartridge belt to keep it from getting saturated. The confederates were scattered through this swamp, and we took 6 number of prisoners without opening fire. met with misfortune. My foot caught between couple of parallel branches be- meath the water and was securely pinioned. My companions continued on their way, while I struggled hard to extricate myself from my unpleasant predicament. finally pulled my foot out with a desperate effort, but my shoe was left behind. l could only secure it by plunging my head beneath the surface of sli- my, ,noxious, muddy water, but it had to be done. had no sooner got the shoe tied on again than a rebel came in sight from behind some bushes. Intuitively our muskets were simultaneously raised.
 "'Surrendsr.' thundered the rebel.
 "'Surrender yourself, T returned at the top of my lungs.
 "Then we stood and eyed each other. Each had his gun cooked and levelled at the other, but neither pulled trigger. Why we hesi- tated Is more than can explain. By delay ing, you see, each was practically placing himself at the mercy of the other, or 60 it would seem. Suddenly the rebels gun drop. ped and I brought mine down also.
 "'See here, Yank,' he began, in @ much milder tone, if should shoot you my side wouldn't gain much; and, ,again,if you should shoot mo my side wouldn't gain much. Now I've got 8 wife and two babies over wonder, and if you dropped me they wouldn't have nobody to take care of lem. Now, it's 6 d. mean man what won't split the difference. I'll let you go if you'll let me go, and we'll call the thing square. What do you sayW "Well, what should say? walked over half way, and we met and shook hands and parted.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

When we remember how completely unds, the control of the nervous system. both in health and disease, is the regulation of all the functions of the body, we cannot fail tc understand how necessary it Is for the nerv. ous system to be in health.
 The nervous system is like the VALVE GEAR of steam engine which determines the supply of steam to the cylinder. It con trols the movements of the entire engine but It's own movement is in turn regulated by that of the engine.
 The normal activity of the nervous appa ratus maintains all the other organs ir steady, regular, healthy action, but ii itsel1 in turn kept in normal action by the proper functionating of the latter. There is nic' equilibrium between the two, which is thu condition of health 8 disturbance of on' will disturb the other, tho equilibrium will be overturned, and the whole consultation will feel tho result.

Lady Kicker Mining Co.


This company has recently secured two
full locations to add to its valuable list of
properties and now stands among the best
of the corporations claiming the attention
of the public. The Lady Kicker (patented(,
the Lady Kicker Extension and the Armil-
da are all located along the same great vein
and give the company almost 500 feet in
direct line toward the Josephine mine. In
addition to this it has the Ohio lode, lying
parallel to the Lady Kicker, and adjoining
it, and twenty acres of placer ground below
the tunnel and water right appurtenant
to the placer. This company has the only
eligible tunnel site in that vicinity and the
mountain has been penetrated TO to
feet through the Lady Kicker claim
and along the lode. Within this
distance the vein has been cross-cut at two
different points and has shown itself to be
over thirty feet wide. 1t lies i'll granite
formation which is we'll in place and thus
amply repaid all outlay of time ana money.
During the last week work has been re-
sumed upon this mine and the tunnel will
be pushed forward as rapidly as practical
BILE. The striking of large flow of water
is considered one of the best Indications of
near approach to pay. Two hundred feet
above in the bottom of the sixty-foot shaft,
the pay chute is we'll defined and over eigh-
teen inches thick, and is said to average
fully 500 per ton in value. The indications
are that only short distance in advance of
the present workings this chute will be en-
countered, and if 1t proves to be as rich as
| it is overhead, the mine will be "bonan-
company and the improved condition of
their finances, having money in bank for
development purposes, the outlook ID most
| tlattering.
