Good Joke on our Senators.

A travelling man, just from Charles
ton, relates a good joke upon some
members of the State Senate, among
whom were Senators Parks and Knott
A party of five Senators were dining
at the Ruffner, when the inoffensive
stranger was given seat with them;
and about the same time the waiter
brought dinner for the Senatorial
party Numerous requests were pre-
ferred for the Senators from Berke-
lev to pass salt, the Senator from JEFF
ferson to help to pepper, until each
had been designated by his official ii
tie, according to the strictest rules Of
parliamentary courtesy. By the time
the travellers dinner had arrived, and
after looking it over, he turned to the
ebony colored waiter, and with the
utmost gravity asked the Senator
from Africa to pass him the butter,
The effect can be better imagined
than described.

TRUST IS WRECKED.
The Harvester Combine Goes to Pieces
in It's Infancy.

IN infancy.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan. 9.-The Harvester
Trust has gone to pieces, and before
very long the American Harvester Com
pany will be thing of the past
1t was only a couple of months ago
that the great combine was brought in
to existence with capital of 500, 600, 900.
Things went swimming for awhile,
ana arrangements were in progress
for dispensing with thousands of
travelling men and other employees, and
OF centrallzing the business. This week
the representatives of the firms in the
combine came together at the Audi
forum Hotel, when it was developed
that the majority Of the directors had
mapped out line of policy by which
prices to the farmers were to be ma
terially raised and the supply houses
consolidated.
There was vigorous remOnstrance to
this course on the part of the McCor-
micks, the Deerings, the Whitman
Barnes concern, and the Ohio house Of
Warder, Bushnell & Glessner, and after
a stormy meeting of several hours
duration they withdrew. This morn
ing the firms named served notice of
their withdrawal from the company.
1t is given out that war to the knife
between the different concerns is now
inevitable. There will be increased
production and low prices, and the farm
er will get the benefit.
Late this afternoon President Nc
Cormick furnished the Associated
Press the following statement:
''The American Harvester Company,
after securing the opinion of eminent
counsel from different states, has been
brought face to face with grave legal OBJ
stacles to the contamination of the en-
terprise for which it was formed. These
are of such character that after the
most serious and careful consideration
the conclusion has been reached
that the whole undertaking must be
abandoned. In doing so it is but adopt
ing the course such counsel have uni
ted in advising. 1t believes that in thus
promptly taking this action it's course
will meet with the approval of the pub
lie -

Gladstone Writes a Letter Pointing Ont
Irelands Road to Home Rule

"iaosIone writes Letter Pointing Out
Ireland's Road to Home Rule
LONDON, Jan. 10.-Mr. Gladstone has
written a letter to Mr.. Furness. the
Liberal candidate for Hartlepool, to
succeed the late Thomas Richardson.
Mr.. Gladstone saws:
The irish Parliamentary partv hos vim
Dictated itself by putting an end TO the
leadership OF Mr.. Parnell, and has left us
prepared to pursue as heretofore, our duty
IN denounclng unequal laws and the obi
us system OF coercion adopted by the gov
eminent as permanent law. The Lib
OF Commons constantly repeated dur
ing the last four years meant
much more than mere success. They
meant that the party has declared that a
union has for the first time been effected
between the British and Irish, and shows
the people aim to close the controversy our
opponents seek to indefinitely prolong at
the cost of the national reputation, ana Of
Imperial treasure and amid inextinguish-
able dlscord. The people of Ireland have
put their trust In the people Of Great Bri-
tain to deliver them from bad laws
made worse by harsh, insulting admins
tration. 1t rests on each constituency as
the occasion offers for us to show our SIS
ter nation that her confidence is not re-
posed in uain. The views of the Liberals
on general legislation were expressed at a
recent meeting of the federation. They
show that the party long for
the time when the Irish ques-
ton will be settled and when
fuller opportunity will be afforded to 9TH
er questions. Still the time will come, and
we ought to supply sample of our practi-
cal intentions by bill clearing away OBJ
StacleS hlndering qualified voters from
coming to register and limiting on the reg
lister every single citizen to a single vote.

WAS QUEER PROCEEDING.

Sensational Story of the Way in Which
Mr.. Fla: erweather Signed His Will.
The Fayerweatner will case was up in
the surrogate's court in New York ON
the 9th, the executors contending that
Mrs. FayerWeather should state defin-
ence upon the now dead millionaire
had been eXerted. At the close of the
arguments the surrogate held that the
general allegation was sufficient. Ac-
cording to an evening paper, the Rev.
DR.. Lloyd, pastor Of the Central Congre-
gatlonal Church, has signed an al
fidavit which casts serious re-
Election upon those who attended the
millionaire, Dan. B. Fayerweather, in
his last hours. The pastor says he was
summoned to Mr.. Fayerweather's
house on the afternoon on which the
millionaire died. He went in and was
told to wait He learned that the only
person in the sick room was Mr.
Vaughn, business acquaintance of
Fayerweather, who was indebted to the
dying man in the sum of 100000. DR..
Lloyd waited from o'clock in the
afternoon until s, when word came to
him that 5Ir. Fayerweather was dead.
During the interval, it is said by DR..
Lloyd who was so informed by the physi-
clan, the millionaire, who was partially
unconscious, was induced to sign that
codici to his will which was drawn up
by Thomas B. Ritch, a lawyer, of the
firm of Arnoux, Ritch d Woodford, and
which left to Mr.. Ritch, Mr.. Vaughn
and Mr.. Buckley an estate which was
worth about $3,000,000. There were no
conditions in the codicil, but it was UNI
derstood, DR.. Lloyd stated, that these
men would distribute the amount
the original document, and the rest was
to 90 to themselves

ROBBED AN EXPRESS CAR.
Bold Work oc Thieves the Michigan
Central Road.

Bold Work of Thieves the Michigan
Central Road.
An express robbery that promises to
increase in Importance with investiga..
ton, occurred on the Michigan Central
Railroad, between Chicago and Detroit,
on the night of the 9th. When No. IL,
one of the heaviest express trains on
the road, arrived at Detroit, it was
found that one of the American Ex-
press Compauy's through cars, from
Chicago to New York, had been ran
sacked and everything of value that
could be carried off taken. 1t was one
of the sleekest pieces of work th&t has
been done for some time. The
agents have no idea as to the point
on the road at which the robbery
was perpetrated. The thieves entered
by smashing in the rear door with a
sle6ge hammer Every box in the car
was broken open, even those whose con
tents was untouched. All boxes that
had evidently contained valuables were
emptied. The completeness of tho
work showed delib eration in its accom-
nlishment, and the robbers were ev-
identity experienced in the business. II
will be impossible to tell the amount
stuff taken until the car arrives IN New
York and it's contents are checked OIL
Supt. Higginbotham, Of the locai office,
said he did not believe the amount to
he much. as there were only a few emp
tv boxes in the car, and he did not be-
lieye any boxes were carried oway.

TO CONTEST THE NOTES.
North Dakota Win Refuse to Pay for
Their HarYeSterS.

Arrangements are being made to
fight the collection OF all notes now
held by the harvester companies in
North Dakota, and it is said the amount
is about S. 100000 The ground of the
contest is that the notes were given for
binders with the contract that re-
pairs should be furnished free,
and the recently combined "Amer-
lean Harvester Company has made a
rule that all repairs must hereafter be
paid for in cash. Another ground for
the contest will be that the new COM
pany is a trust, and is, therefore, con-
trary to the laws of the United States
and the statutes of North Dakota. Ar
engagements are now being made to an
tagonize the business of the new COM
pany and favor the independept reaper
companies, as the American Harvester
Company announces prices $40 higher
per machine than have been the rule
here for the year past.
