Il" ROAD HUMBUG AND ALDER
MAWC WACHOH.

1t is stated, and apparently on good
authority, that the various 81" roads
having city franchises and those that
are seeking franchises proposes to pool
their issues and to form an IL" road
trust
Such an arrangement, though dictated
by private greed, would be certainly in
the direction of public good.
Chicago demands, needs rapid tran
sit The West Division of the city has
deprecated 80 per cent. in value in
five years because of lack of rapid
transit. At the same time the lower
section of the South Division has APP
preciated in value 100 per cent. be-
cause of the cable system of roads,
which are half way to rapid transit,

what it lost since the much and unde-
servedly abused Yerkes system went
into operation.
Time is of great valne to the busy
Chicagoan. This is especially the case
in the morning when he wants to hurry
to business. al" roads are a saving of
time. They should therefore be en-
couraged.
But it is a public crime to encourage
snide al" road companies that obtain
franchises for a "sell-out" What is
the use, for instance, of encouraging a
corporation like the South Side Alley
Il" Road? The enterprise is not seri

obstructionists or adventurers.
The company has already violated
its charter.
The ordinance provides that mil,

Gus half-mile has not yet been con

duty they would insist on a revocation
of the ordinance, because the condi

In the case of the West Lake Stree

cisely similar. The conditions of tn

vorced himself from all associations
with his countrymen, assumed the garb
and habits of an America, and learned
the painters trade He took the name
of Joseph Altman, and settled himself
in San Leandro, where he pursued his
calling, and was generally respected
Many years afterward his old father
came to this coast and hunted up his
son. Then there occurred scene be-
lieved to be unique in the history of the
country. The son was compelled to
converse with his father through an in

native tongue, and the father had not
been long enough in the country to
pick up any English. After a time All

actually man without country. On
account of his race and color he was
prohibited from becoming an American,

The F., NJ. & W. S. Movement.

W. W. Barrett of Ramsey county, presi-
dent of the Forestry, Meteorological and
Water Supply association, arrived Satur-
day. He is actively engaged in the irriga-
ton movement and is meeting with marked
success. The undertakings are being
heartily commended by the press Of the
northwest, particularly by those OF Ram
sey, Nelson, Grand Forks and Cass coun-
ties where, thus far, the work has been
prosecuted. All along the line where Mr..
Barrett has travelled, his plans have been
most freely endorsed by many of the most
influential men in North Dakota. Most all
the national, state, county and city officials
ana the chief business men and many
farmers of Ramsey, Nelson, Grand Forks
and Cass counties, where the work has
been mostly done, have gladly signed the
petitions to congress and the legislative
assembly. Nearly 1900 names are to be
seen on the petitions. Mr.. Barrett's scheme
IS broad and comprehensive, embracing
forestry, meteorology and the entire water
supply, from the atmosphere and the
earth, necessary for the benefit OF agricul-
ture and the necessities of the people. His
projects will be fully brought before the
legislators and will doubtless meet with
their Endorsement. Mr.. Barrett will proba-
bly, remain in the city a number of days.
The newcomer is well known in the
northwestern part of the state and says he
is much pleased to meet here many famil-
lar faces.

Sudden and Sad.
from Sundays Daily,

The death at the Sheridan house yester-
day of Walter j. Cummings, the repre-
sentative Of the shoe firm of Tarbox,
Schlick & Co., of st. Paul, was one of the
saddest that has come to the notice of the
TRIBUNE for some time. Cummings, who
was a fine specimen of physical manhood
and whose gentlemanly demeanor and
generosity made friends of all with whom
he met, came to Bismarck on the 2bth of
January and stopped at the Sheridan
house. He was imbibing, it was claimed.
to ward off a threatened attack of lagrippe
and Friday morning he went to the drug
stores of the city and attempted to pur-
chase five grains OF morphine. This
amount of morphine was refused him and
he went to Mandan, saying that he had
business to attend to there. He visited a
drug store in Mandan, but as to whether
or not he purchased the morphine
there, is not known. Returning to
Bismarck. he retired late Friday
night. One of the chambermaids at
the Sheridan reports that as she passed
his room early in the forenoon she heard
groans and distinguished the words: "Oh
ilaiuula, mamma, II you Wore only here to
take care of me-" She did not report this
at the time, but when she returned later
she entered the room and found Cummings
still in bed. The appearance of his face
startled her and she called a bell boy, who,
as soon as he discovered the condition Of
the man, called for aid. Senator Haggart
and Walter Dunn were the first to re-
spond, but they arrived too late, as the
man had gone beyond recovery. He died
soon after their arrival. Proprie-
tor Bly, of the Sheridan
house immediately wired Tarbox. Schlick

was not only one of the most successful in
the history of Bismarck, but it was one of
the most exciting and Interesting. The
contests for prizes were never more earn

candidates were concerned. and until the
polls were closed and the last vote cast, the
rival politicians worked, struggled,
schemed and planned for victory. There
was no bitterness-the rivalry was of the
most friendly nature and everybody was
willing that everybody else should do his
best, but no one was willing to admit that
his candidate would not com out of the
battle victorious.
