We arrived at DR.. Warren's, and by his

found him already busy, selecting some of

Thank heaven, it is over at last, and all
that have to be thankful for is that the
worst has not happened. How it has all
come about IS still but a confused tangle in
my own mind. Only one thing stands out
clearly before me, and that is the wretched
dream which has been in some mysterious
way the cause OF all that has followed.
Yes, it is clear to my mind to-day as it was
year ago, when dreamed it.
1 can see the bedroom, furnished with
every comfort and luxury. The fire burns
brightly in the fireplace, and two fgures-a
man and women-move about the room.
They seem by their gestures to be holding
an animated discussion. Yet hear no
voice, no spoken word. They are evidently
unconscious of my presence, and feel an
intense longing to let them know am there,
and to mediate between them, for 1 can see
clearly that they are engaged in a quarrel.
The man stands gazing into the fire, his
hands thrust into his pockets, and a hor-

veins. Rich masses of raven black hair fall

AN ILLINOIS HAY PALACE.
Tho Novel Fenture of Farmers Exhibition
In Tint State.

In That state.
MoMENCE, ILL. September 5.-Work
on the Momence Hay Palace is Eow about
completed. Only the finishing touches on
the dome, towers and the interior decora-
tons remain to be done. As the work pro-
crosses the fact becomes patent to all OBJ
servers that the word "palace' is no mis-
nomer. The building is 2O6 feet in length
and 166 feet wide in the center. The Gen.
tral, or main hall, is perfect circle 103 feet
in diameter, fanked to the north, south and
west by wings so feet wide. A circular gal
lery, IS feet wide. sweeps entirely around
the main hall, from which there is an unob-
structed view of the vaulted roof and to the
top of the immense central dome, 81 feet
from the ground. This dome, with cir
cumference of 80 feet, is covered with
thatch of bright straw. The frame work of
the big towers on the corners of the wings is
also covered with thatch made from various
species of marsh grass.
The walls of the building are built en-
tirely of baled hay, with just enough baled
straw used in trimming to make pleasing
contrast of shading and color. Battlemeuts
of baled hay are carried over the roof, thus
giving the structure something of the ap-
pearance of feudal castle. The somber
color of the hay and the quaint little
windows, looking more like port holes than
modern windows, add to this appearance.
1t is intended to cover every post, pillar aud
truss of the interior with decorations OF
grasses, evergreens, corn, wild verdure,
flowers etc.
The Hay Palace Exposition opens October
II. The primary object of the exposition
is to make display of the varied products
and resources of Eastern Illinois and West
ern Indiana.

NEW LIGHT COMPANY.
West End Residences to be Supplied
Shortly With Electricity.
PLANS ARE ABOUT COMPLETED.
The Enterprise Backed by Men Of Good
Financial Standing.
CITIZENS TALK UPON THE SUBJECT

There is talk of an Electric Light Com
pany being formed in the West End for the
purpose of supplying private residences and
business houses. A meeting Of those inter-
ested in the enterprise has already been held,
and all that remains to complete arrange
ments for organization is the subscription
for stock. 1t is not known yet what the
capital stock is to be, but it is said the plant
will be large enough TO supply all of the
West End and the thickly settled portions
of CHARTERS township.
A strenuous effort has been made to keep
the matter quiet until the plans are COM
pleted, the stock all subscribed for and a
charter secured, but it leaked out this week,
while a DISPATCH reporter was making
his rounds through that section of the city.
II was noticed that the new building of
Henry Daab on West Main street is being
wired Tor the purpose of using the lights.
SOLVING THE QUESTION.
The question at once arose: "Where is
the light to come from?" as there is no elec-
trio light in the West End except that fur
nished by contract to the city. A tour of
inquiry was commenced. c. f. Hesselbarth
was first called upon, but he could give no
information. Postmaster Davis admitted
there had been talk of a company being or
ganized but he did not know if it would
materialize or not. Ex-Councilman z.
Foley said he had not been approached to
take any stock yet, and could not tell
whether such move was on foot or not.
The skirmish was continued until gentle
man interested in the concern was found.
He is a prominent business man on West
Main street, but at his earnest request his
name is withheld for the present. He said:
Yes, company is to be organized for the
purpose you state. Our plans are not yet
in such shape as to warrant the publica-
tion of details, but we will be ready to give
you more information shortly. The plant
will be located somewhere on Sawmill run.
We have looked at several sites, but have
not settled definitely on any as yet. We
will furnish light to private residences
chiefly in the West End and the surround
ing districts. Mr.. Daub expects to use the
light in his new business block
IT HAS GOOD BACKING.
''Is Mr.. Daub interested in the Light
Company" was asked.
81 would not be at liberty to give you the
names of those interested in the company
yet, but can assure you the concern will
have good financial backing"
Several of the other citizens spoken to
were elated to hear that the company was to
be organized, and from the general drift of
the expressions on all sides it is safe to pre-
dict the company will secure a liberal pat
ronage. The West End is about the only
portion of the city that is not now supplied
with all the modern advantages, aud the
citizens are ready to take hold of any scheme
that will advance the interests of that pros
porous section of the city

AT THE MERCY OF ARMOUR.
A Ranchman Tells How Texas Cattle Raisers
Are Squeezed.

Are Squeezed.
DETROIT, September 5.-H. J. Tilford, of
Louisville, KY, with party of ladies and
gentlemen, who have been spending several
weeks at the Grand Hotel, Macklnac, ar
rived at the Wayne yesterday on their way
home. Mr.. Tilford is the principal owner of
a cattle ranch of 450 square miles in North
western Texas, on what is known as the
Staked Plains, and while in the city made
an examination of gas engines and gas gene
rators, in which Detroit manufacturers have
an extensive trade, with view to using
them for pumping water on his ranch, where
both fuel and water are scarce. In speaking
OF the cattle raising business he said:
I'VE are still at the mercy of,Armour
and few other Chicago beef men, and the
cattle business is about as bad as it can be-
Just before left home bought 200 Here
ford bulls for breeding purposes, and cot
them for 500 head delivered in Texas.
Five years ago those same bulls would have
cost me $500 a head. There Us so little
profit in beef that many cattle men have
turned their attention to other products
and we find that our cattle ranges produce
from 25 to 30 bushels of the very best wheat
per acre. At the New Orleans Exposition
our Northern Texas wheat took the premium
over 324 samples; hence, think that por-
ton of the State is destined to become noted
in the time to come for small grains. Rus
sell Harrison has been in Texas three
months, collecting material for his paper,
the Judge, and just before 1 let home 1
had letter from him saying he had trav-
eled 10000 miles and corresponded with
4, 200 newspapers. He tells me he never
was more astonished in a country than in
Texas, and that if he were to tell half the
truth about it, people would regard him as
the greatest liar that ever lived. Why,
this land that produces 25 bushels OF the
best wheat in the world, can be bought for
s. an acre on 40 years time.

with the workers when the time for the next
tcale settlement comes around. That,
slough, is in the future.
The trade in flint glass is good and prices
are we'll maintained. The last scale, that of
the mold, has been adjusted. The green
bottle business is reported as being in good
condition. One house started up during
the week, and nearly all the rest will be in
operation by the 18th inst.
Some of the labor organizations affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor eel
BETTING the occasion. The bulk
the building trades, but Typographical
Union No. z, the machinists and three
lodges Of the Amalgamated Association
helped to swell the ranks of the procession.
The only prominence the knights of Labor
took in the demonstration was that they held
aloof as body. The general opinion was
that it would have been more credltable to
them to have sunk their jealousies for the
nonce and assisted in the celebration. As
it was the demonstration was one In every
way BETTING the day and worthy of the par
ticipators.
The Westinghouse strike was broken by
the return of large number of the Electric
Company's men. The Executive Board OF
the Machinists, who were instrumental in
bringing out the strike. had nothing to do
with the break among the men, and declare
the strike still exists.
SEEKING SHELTER.
The Machine Company's men and Fuel
Gas Company's employees are now evincing
a disposition to seek shelter. The machinists
declare they will stay out, but the non-organ-
lied men will return. The Electric Company
commenced on the nine-hour day on Mon
day, and advanced the rates OF wages in
some cases. The working day in the other
branches remain as heretofore.
The employees of the Citizens Traction
line were granted an increase in pay, the
gripmen being raised from 50 % to 50 40,
and the conductors from 50 to 50 20.
The Pennsylvania Railroad notified the
machinists and boilermakers in its local
shops that the working hours would be re-
duced to nine hours. The men thereupon
petitioned for ten hours pay if the reduc-
tion should go into effect, giving ten days
notice of their intention to resist it.
7. G. jenkins, OF Liberty street, and the
Pittsburg Transfer Company voluntarily
advanced their employees wages during the
week. The former gave his warehousemen
and drivers an additional so cents per week,
and the latter all its employees an advance
of from 10 to Is per cent.
The stove molders are talking with their
employers about an advance of 10 per cent
in their wages. The result of the confer
ences have not transpired.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Tho Obstruction Was Placed Upon the Track
in Most Fiendishly skillful NIauner-A
Wonder That Many Lives Were Not Sac
rifced.
ALBANY, September st was reported
here Rt an early hour this morning that an
express train on the New York Central, and
one of the fastest on the road, had been
wrecked three miles moth of Castleton, and
that five persons were killed, Later reports
show that no one was killed, but the train
was wrecked BY mass of iron placed upon
the track. A number of cars were thrown
from the track and several persons injured,
but not fatally.
The escape OF the traiE from more
serious disaster was little short of mirac-
ulous. When the engine struck the OBJ
struction it was lifted bodily into the air.
The engineer and fireman both stuck to
their posts. The first car, containing %
passengers, slid down an embankment and
came to standstill on its side. None of
the passengers in this car were more than
slightly bruised. The second coach turned
a complete somersault and landed in the
ditch bottom side up. There was only one
passenger, Miss Garakau. of Brooklyn, in
the car beside the conductor and porter. 1t
was al ATSl b1dk MISS was
seriously injured. but she suffered no
more than a severe blow on the head, out
side of the shock.
The third car of the train was thrown a
right angles across the ditch, but was mott
overturned. None of the 81 passengers
were injured. The other five sleepers did
not leave the track, but were thrown
obliquely across ii. while the fourth car
hung suspended in the air, held by coup
ling and other cars. Mrs Atkinson, OF
fremont n. Y, was prostrated by the
shock, and is now in the hospital here. Sew
eral passengers injured themselves in their
frantic endeavors to escape from the wreck.
Investigation of the obstruction on the
track shows that the wreckers employed the
most fendish ingenuity to accomplish their
purpose. The whole obstruction was firmly
fastened in a slanting position, so as to
throw the train entirely off the track. Off
ciais OF the road will do everything to dis
cover the perpetrators OF the outrage. The
officials are very determined in their efforts
in this direction, and this forenoon q state
ment was issued that the company would
offer a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties. Another
attempt was made to wreck passenger train
this morning. The train from the West, due
here at $40 o'clock, came slowly creeping
down through the gap west of West Albany,
when the engineer saw an obstruction on the
tracks.
