CHILE Should COME OFF.

1t is evident that Mr. malta is given

dent that this unfortunate defect in
his vision is likely to get Chile into very
serious trouble il it is not soon cor

Uncle Sam is patient and iorbearing
to the last degree, and will not use force
until compelled to do so, but some
things are beyond even his patience aud
forbearance, and should it come to a
plain matter Of fight Chile will realize
her mistake in short order.

United States and Chile are strained be-

The only good thing the Louisiana lot
terry ever did was to cause a split in the

wiped out they will pray for Republican
success in Louisiana. -iRtsNigcncer.
From the Democratic party comes the
only substantial opposition there is in
Louisiana to the lOttery-hence the
split in the party. There Is no split in
the Republican party down there. The
La. S. L. is the most important part OF
the Republican machine of that State.

SIX miles, in five minutes The car was
kick ed down the line, but went too far
and struck the grade. Bisbee put on the
BRAKE, but it didn't hold, and the car
dashed over the rails at frightful speed
At one time, when the car had not reached
its fastest rate, the express on the other
line ran by its side for short distance,
but the car, with its solitary passenger,
soon left it behind, and did not slack up
until near Florence, where the track
makes slight upgrade, and Bisbee, as re
neared 1t, prayed that it would stop his
dangerous ride
Went Flying over the Hill.
BuC up the hill went the runaway, and
then down the other grade, where there Is
a incline of sixty feet to the mile rs far as
Northampton The people standing at
the station held their breath and opened
their eyes with surprise as the car, now
going at tie rate of more than mile a
minute ran by. Bisbee, who was stauu-

waved his land to his brother. who is
baggage master at the canal station, and
who, as he saw the terrible peril of his
broth err dropped his baggage and started
down the track after the car. A mile
further was Hospital Hill, and the agi-
