stopped for moment before market

stood yoked to heavy cart.
Hard at it, see,' said the unbur-

A SAD story with moral comes from
Aurora. Forty years ago young lady,
now Mrs. King-Hsmmoud, and young
man named Welch were engaged to be
married. Opposition of parents pre-
vented the match, and WEIGH went away
to Texas, where he has since resided, but
a continuous CORE spondence has been
kept up. and recently the couple decided
to pass their declining days together
Mr.. WEIGH came on to Aurora, accord
ingly, but when his intended saw him she
tainted away and refused to have any
thing to do with him. Instead of the
rosy, athletic youth from whom she had
parted lifetime before, and of whom she
had been dreaming all these years, there
stood before her bald, wTinkled, tooth
less old man. Perhaps, as Mr.. WEIGH
has found it impossible 10 remain always
a young man, it is just as well that he
never married his first love.

A Valiant Champion.

Grand old John N. Palmer. United
States senator from Illinois, has prom
Ised TO visit Iowa during the campaign
and make some speeches for the cause OF
reform, temperance and the democratic
ticket. The campaign conducted in Lii
nois last year by this veteran bore mag
nificent fruit. 1t resulted in the election
of q democrat to the United States senate
for the first time since the war. Gen l..
Palmer will be given as cordial recep-
ton in Iowa as he ever received in his
own state. Scott county and the Second
congressional district are not quite solid
ly democratic. The Davenport Demo-
crat believes, however, that if every
voter could hear this honest and earnest
champion of the people, a practically
solid vote would be rolled up next No
vember for the ticket headed by Horace
Boies, -Davenpor Democrat.

LIFE IN A FLAT.
CHAPTER L.

CHAPTER l.
Full of hope and days works Mr..
Hampton Tut, lust back from the hon.
eymooa, took possession Of a South Side
flat and moved MS bride and his house
hold goods into it. A broad smile il
lumined his face. The days came and
went and Mr.. and Mrs. Hampton Tut
were happy.
CHAPTER II.
A month passed. Mr.. Tut traded a
double lounge for a hammock, discarded
his broad brimmed hat, began to wear a
fore and aft cap, and removed his side
whiskers.
CHAPTER III.
Another month. He wrote his name
Hamp Tut, his smile had grown much
narrower, he had dismissed his milkman
and gone to using condensed milk
CHAPTER ".
Time passed. He signed his name H.
Tut, threw away his big meerschaum
pipe, took to smoking cheap cigars, and
went out of doors when he wanted to
smile. Mrs. Tut took up her carpets.
Their figures were of too broad a pat
tern. She replaced them with carpets
having longitudinal stripes.
CHAPTER V.
His wife now called him Tut. He
took down all the doors and hung them
on hinges at the top. The cook, who
had gained pound and half in weight
in three months, was discharged for lack
of room, and the tallest, slimmest do
mestic that money could procure was en-
gagged in her place,
CHAPTER VI.
Signed his name Tut. Cigars Danish
ed. Cigarettes substituted. Wore his
hair closely cropped and had the ends of
his mustache waxed straight down.
Gave away copy of Walt Whitman's
poems. They were too broad
CHAPTER VII.
One fatal day Mr.. Tut had new paper
put on the walls without removing the
old. The weather turned intensely cold
that night. The building suddenly con-
tracted. Mrs. and Mrs. Tut were
caught in the crush, and their history
was brought to a tragical conclusion.

The "squealer" or the spotter rather, is
rightly regarded among railroad mep as
the most detestable man in the company s
employ. 1t generally takes a man who
Is mean by nature and cultivation to
do this portion of the work. Hence it is
that it is not every man employed
by railroad company who is qualified for
these duties. Small wonder is therefore
that a woman should be found capable of
satisfactorily filling the position. Never
theless such is the case. The recent
wholesale discharge of conductors on the
Illinois Central is accounted for by this
fact. The discharged conductors have
been making an effort to locate the re-
sponsibility for the compaDy's action.
They have about concluded that it was
the work of spoilers, and it was carried
on in way that makes tie action APP
pear especially despcable. The spot'er
TO whom the blame is laid was a woman,
and the evidence is strong that the con-
clusion is correct 1t was the old story
of a poor and helpless woman who wanted
to get to her relatives. The first con
ductor who carried her, as far as can be
learned, was S. S. Williams. She came
to him at Cherokee and showed a letter
purporting TO be signed by an old
railroad man somewhere in south :
ern Illinois. 1t explained her desti-
tute condition and appealed to railroad
men to whom she might present herself
to assist her if it lay in their power. To
Mr.. Williams she said she wanted to get
TO Sioux Falls. He not only took her
free, but invested 81 so in her story out
of his own pocket. A few days after she
went back from Sioux Falls with Con-
ductor John Sprsgue, to whom she told
the same sort OF tale of woe. He also
carried her and went into his pocket for
a contribution with which to help her
along. Later she rode with Conductor
Freemwelker from Cherokee to Fort
Dodge. and from there to Waterloo with
Conductor Carrigg. Each man not only
listened to her story and gave her free
ride, but commended her to the conduc.
tor on the next division. Just where and
with whom she travelled is not known.
but every man who pitied her and broke
the company rules lost his position.
The men are convinced that their kind
ness to q woman cost them their situa.

Protectionists of all stripes and dimen-
sions, from Blaine down, give themselves
vast deal of unnecessary concern
about what they call IAN unfavorable
balance of trade" IF any nation sells
us more than we sell to it, they claim,
we are doing losing business, and a
high tariff wall must be built in order
to prevent our people from losing
their money. But if our merchants
get the worst of it in any kind of trade
they very promptly drop it and confne
themselves to trade in which money can
be made. No legislation is needed to en-
tighten them on that point.

Any Danger to the Party.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l5-Professor Davidson,
OF the United States coast and geodetic survey
speaking this morning of the reported loss in
Alaska OF the surveying party under Lieutenant
Isaac c. Russell, said that he did not believe
That any danger had befallen the party, but
thought they had returned to the coast perhaps
100 late TO embark on the cutter Corwin before
she left Ber.ng sea. Professor Davidson stated
tnaf Russell was thoroughly acquainted with
Alaska and the modes of life and travel in that
country, and tnat il he found himself cut
on from return by reason of no YES
sells being at hand he would not strike down
the coast, but would either winter among the
Indians, or endeavor to make his way into the
Chilcat country Before leaving here Russell
told Professor Davidson that he would take only
men who could be relied upon to withstand the
hardships OF exploration and only those neces-
sary to perform scientific work. He would de-
peLd on miners and Indians for other assist
snce. Only one man joined the party from here
he being Frank Gillette Warner, of Hartford,
Conn.,, expert photographer, who joined the ex-
pedition on the recommendation OF Professor
Davidson. The latter believes that Lieutenant
Russell selected the remainder of his party in
Seattle and that they were conveyed to their
destination on the up cruise of the Corvin
The exploration of Mount St Elias was not so
much the object of the expedition as a geological
research throughout that section.
There is no foundation whatever for the re-
ported loss of the Russell exploring party The
stupid rumor was evidently started before the
first attempt had been made to ascertain the
facts, which could have been learned in the
steamboat offices of Tacoma Seattle r. r.
Munro, the postoficc inspector, who returned
from Sitka by the last steamer, the City of
Mexico, said that the Russell party had come
down from the mountains and were on the
shore. They had sent word by a passing
steamer that they would be at Sitka in time to
take the City of Topeka, which is due here
within week. The explorers would have come
on to Sitka TO catch the Mexico. but the steamer
which brought word had no good accommoda-

snohomish Countv Nev.

SsoHoMIsH, Wash, Oct. l5.-[special 1.-The
Chamber OF Commerce is now considering the
ACCESSIBILITY OF holding an agricultural fair next
fall in this city, allowing none but residents of
Snohomish county to compete for the various
prizes. No county in the state has such COM
bination OF resources as we are blessed with, in
minerals, lumber and fertile lands.
Much money is being spent in mineral work
at present. The farming lands are being more
thickly settled on than before, and all over tho
county the fires of the clearings are to be seen.
The class of farmers locating in Snohomish
county ranks well for intelligence and industry
with other parts OF this state. One evidence of
this is in the number of new schooihouses being
erected in this county. These schoolhouses are
patterned after the most improved plans and
furnished with modern appliances.
The county commissioners have taken the
initiatory steps towards bonding the county for
$3.50 coo Tor the building of roads. The warrant
prescribes roads into the various sections of the
county.
A valuable iron mine has been discovered
