GIVE Us Pools AGAIN.

Said general passenger agent
who has become diJgusted with the
methods of the general passenger
agents as regards rates: "Let us
have the pools again. Never did the
roads come nearer millennium than
when the pooling arrangement was
in force. Under the pools rates
were we'll maintained, business was
strengthened and everybody prosper
Gus. Now the general passenger
agents have no confidence in each
other, which is the only business
basis, and Generalization is general.
Since the pooling system was aban.
doned matters have been getting
worse, until as soon as peace is
patched up in one territory rate wars
break out in other sections, and SO
connected are the railway systems
that it is very difficult to confne a
rate war to the region in which it
originates. The most singular phase
of the situation is that arrangements,
as in the case of the Chicago & Ohio
River Traffic association, entered
into by the presidents and general
managers, last no longer than do
those of the general passenger
agents"

KANSAS ALL RIGHT.

The Democratic press has become
quite fond of referring to Kansas as
a doubtful state. There is nothing
doubtful about Kansas. If there
ever was reasonable question as to
the outcome OF the coming national
election in Kansas that question was
settled within week after the De-
mocratic-Alliance fusion was accom-
plished. Every day from the present
time until the day of the election
will only add to the certain majority
for the Republican tieket. The as
sertion made by Frank McGrath that
the Alliance party of the state is con
trolled and managed by idle lawyers
and ofiice-seeking editors is becoming
we'll known to the real farmers who
joined the movement with honest in-
ientions and for honest purposes.
The fusion with the Democracy was
in itself disclosure of the Office
seekers schemes that will in the end
drive away as many votes as were

Caldwell ofJEc7S.

Chairman Caldwell, of the West
ern Passenger association, has caused
considerable surprise among railroad
men by refusing to accept Z. A.
Ford, general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines, as arbitrator in
the Atchison's appeal from his rul-
ings. The Atchison took an appeal
in two cases; one was from the
chairman's decision denying that it
was justified in making a Sl2 rate to
Denver and return on account of the
Knights Templar conclave, and the
other was from the ruling and action
of the chairman in his authorization
of a one way rate of $l9 to Denver
and intermediate points, and the al.
legged conspiracy by which the Atch-
ison was deprived of its rights under
the agreement.
In both of these appeals TO arb-
tration the Atchison nominated Il.
A. Ford for one of the arbilratorS
and asked the chairman to name his
choice for another. The rules provide
in such cases that each side shall
choose one arbitrator and the two
thus chosen shall select the thlrd.
The arbitrators are to be disinterest-
ed parties, and either side may object
to the others choice if he has good
reason to believe that the party is
not free from prejudice.
After the Atchison had nominated
Mr.. Ford, Chairman Caldwell asked
a representative of that company il
an objection would be made should
he name as his choice member OF
the Western Passenger association.
The reply was that in all probability
such a nomination would not be ar-
ceptable, as member of the associa-
ton would not be a disinterested
party.
The chairman then wrote his reply
to the communication of Passenger
Traffic Manager White, refusing to
accept E. A. Ford as an arbitrator,
on the ground that he was al, inter-
ested party. lie explained this by
saying that the Vandalia line, which
is under Mr.. Ford's jurisdiction, and

The Deming Ore company is now
ready to do assaying and make chem
ical determinations for iron, silver,
zinc, manganese, and all the common
ores, and expects in the very near
future to be receiving ores. The de-
lay in actively starting up the works
has been caused by the lack of the
necessary side tracks and switches.
Mr.. w. B. Lewis, who is associated
with Mr.. Van Wagenen in this en-
terprise, as partner and assayer, is a
graduate of the Colorado State
School of Mines, and was at one

WHAT CONGRESS Has DONE.

After a session of eight months
the first session of the Fifty-second
congress is about TO end, and re-
view of its work may prove interest
ing. The house devoted the first
two months of the session to the dis
cussion and adopting of a code of
rules, after which the regular bust
ness was taken up.
The Chinese exclusion bill, the
Indian registry bill, the Black Hawk
and Sem mole Indian wars pension
bill, the eight hour bill, the bill to
enable the president 10 enforce recip-
rocal canal arrangements with Cana
da, the army nurse bill, the lnterme-
date pension bill and the bill to in
crease the pay of life savers are
about the only measures of much
ger eral interest enacted into law.
Free silver, the tariff, the anti.
option bills, retrenchment of appro-
priations and a 100000 loan to
the Worlds fair have been the live
topics of the session. The first three
subjects have been killed, at least
until after the elections, while the
last is before congress.
The house passed approximately
AIS bills, of which 2S4 were passed
by the senate and sent to the pres
ident. OF the bills passed by the
house 220 were public bills, includ-
ing measures relating to the District
of Columbia; l5l private pension
bills; 4s bills to remove charges of
desertion, and Al private bills of
miscellaneous character.
The senate passed SOL bills, only
ll3 of which succeeded in running
the gauntlet of the house and reach
ing the president. Two of the latter
number the president vetoed, viz, the
bill to send the famous McGarrahan
claim to the court of claims for ad-
judication and bill to amend the
court of appeals act. Three bills the
president permitted to become laws
without his signature.
The noteworthy feature of the
private bills which became laws was
the large percentage of them relating
to services in the Mexican war, the
Indian wars and the war of 1912,
the bene6ciaries being chiefly south
ern men.
The Behring sea trouble with
Great Britain was the ugliest complI-
cation the senate had to consider be-
hind closed doors, and peaceful So
luton of it was found in its refer
ence to an arbitration commission.
The CHILEAN muddle also occupied
the senate's attention in executive
session.
The total number of bills and joint
introduced in the house
was 1885, and in the senate 1904. In
the house 2,Ol6 reports were made
on bills, and in the senate 1907
written reports were made, no notice
being paid to unwritten reports.

In the great fight for fortune men
are too prone to earn their money
more easily than honestly, and the
conscienceless fakir who appeals to
the credullty and greed of his hear

pills. their diamond rings, mot their
blacking,) and their dollars, mot
their ltniment,) offers them an oppor-
tunity to bite, which they seldom
fail to do, for what actuates the ven

make matters worse is the astound-

weakness of the arm of the law to
cope with them. Lookers-on can
we'll afford to smile at the credulous,
and say, "Serves 'em right" but it is

The Rat Must Go.

In view of the discovery have made
that the rat is liable to tuberculosis
the disease which is and has been for a
long time more discussed by the faculty
than almost any other-I insist that
every effort should be made to exter-
inmate the murinse, especially those spe-
cies that come more nearly IN contact
with man. The plea that the rat is a
good scavenger should be of no avail to
save him. The jackal of the far east is
a scavenger and the. turkey buzzard OF
our gulf states is another, but with all
the appliances of civilization at COM
mand is it necessary for us to hold these
filthy creatures sacred for all time?
The rat must go. He must be swept
away from the earth and left to figure
as a thing of the past, like dodo or
the megatherium OF the pterodactyl.-
DR.. S. E. Weber's Lecture.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1892-07-18

A few weeks after my marriage we
went to our future home, farm ten
miles from the town of l., which
was my husbands birthplace and the
home of his family. Mr.. E had
kept bachelors hall for year.
Among his possessions was a beautiful
setter dog, Bounce, who soon became
much attached to me. He followed me
everywhere, and in the frequent absence
of my husband from the house never
allowed me to get out of his sight.
We often drove to l. for visit of
several days, and sometimes to my own
home, thirty miles away. On our re-
turn the dogs delight was a very pleas
ant welcome, and when Mr.. E got
out of the buggy to open the gate,
Bounce, after greeting him, would jump
into the vacant place in the buggy and
he and I would drive up to the house.
Once, however, Mr.. E. was al
ready at home and l, with a small,
precious bundle Of humanity drove up
in the old carriage from my mothers.
When we arrived no one was in sight,
although we were expected during the
day.
We were in the house, and baby was
lying quietly on the bed, before Mr..
E. heard of our arrival and hurried
in, closely followed by Bounce. My
welcome was more demonstrative than
usual as it was long since the dog had
seen me. In a little while turned to
the bed, and taking baby, held him
down for Bounce to admire.
Never shall l forget the look of re-
proach and sadness in those almost
human eyes. He stood for one instant
looking at me, and then turned and
walked slowly from the room. From
that day, for all the five years of his
after life, he ignored my existence and
that of baby, never coming near me,
nor allowing the child to touch him.

seech them at once to be reconciled to
God! Remember if you are not found

fire, taking vengeance on those that
know not God and obey not the Gospel

punished with everlasting destruction
from the presence of the Lord and from
the glory Of his power, when he shall
come to be glorified in his saints, and to
be admired in all them that believe"

why Lightning Tales a zigzag Course.

Why Lightning Takes Zigzag Course.
Electricity inquiries, ''Why does flash
of lightning take zigZag course instead
of a straight one?" A fash of lightning
is really the passage through the air Of
a mass of electric fuid''-to use pop
ular term for lack of better one
through the air at such a speed that 1t
looks like a continuous stream of light.
Like all fluids it follows the path of
least resistance, and as the atmosphere
through which it passes is of different
density in different strata, the 'bolt"
changes its course with each change of
density.
Added to this it's intense heat burns
the nitrogen of the air in the oxygen
and produces d temporary vacuum in
which it itself splits up. Instantaneous
photography proves this by showing
that flash of lightning not only'takes
zigzag course, but also splits up into
smaller side flashes, something like the
branches of ankee Blade.

How Our Globes Age Is Calculated.


The amount of lime salts in water
which drains from districts made up Of
GRANTEES and basalts is found by com
parison of different analyses to be on an
average of about 1878 parts in 100, 900
parts of water. 1t is further assumed
by those who take this mode of reckon
ing the age of the world that the excess
areas of igneous rocks, taken on an
average throughout all geological time,
will bear to the exposures of sediment
ary rocks ratio of one to nine. From
these and other more complicated data
it has been inferred that the elimination
of the calcareOus matter now found in
all the sedimentary strata must have
been going on through Il period of co.,,
600, eco years! This therefore represents
the minimum age of the world.
Biologists also conclude that the for
nation Of the Laurentian, Cambrian
and siluTian strata occupied d period Of
about 0,000, 900 years; the red sand
stone, the carboniferOus and the pCeci-
lite systems another 200, 600, 900 years.
the remaining 200000,00 years being
taken with the formation Of all other
stratas. Thus we are led to believe that
geological time has been enormously in
excess of the limits urged by certain
we'll known physicists, and that it has
been ample to allow for all the changes
which, on the hypothesis of evolution,
have occurred in the organic world

MEMPHIS, TENN, Oct, 6.-An APP
peal Avalanche special from Nashville,
Tenn, says:
The news from Pulaski is of an
alarming nature. General Weaver
says he will certainly go TO Pulaski
and speak there next Satur-
day, and that he has had
no intention oil cancelling his
appointments. Letters from the most
conservative people in Pulaski and
Giles counties urge strongly that
Weaver be dissladed from coming, a.
there are grave fears Of battle II he
appears there. Every utterance will be
criticized and one imprudent word may
lead to his death. Gen. Weaver's course
during the war made him extreme
ly obnoxious TO the people, and his Bit
ter language about his accusers has
created intense passion. He Gsserts
that he will huH defiance in the face Of
his enemies. The threat has been
openly made that he will be killed II no
uses insulting language, but Third
party men from all over the country,
including many Confederate sol
diers, are arming and preparing to
go TO Pulaski, swearing that they
will protect him In speaking, and de-
fend him against assault. Both sides
are determined and neither will yield.
II it comes TO blows bloody fight will
follow she firing Of single gun, There
are those who believe that General
Weaver may use such temperate lam
guage as TO fOrestall any trouble, but
even then the tension and strong
feeling would in all likelihood lead
to trouble. Every effort ia being
made by the state Democratic com
mittee TO secure quiet hearing for
General Weaver, and TO prevent any
violent outbreak, but letters received
here say that no argument will avail
and that If Gen. Weaver utters an inn
prudent word he will be killed, and
tn at the conservative people in Pulaski
cannot prevent it. They urge that the
only safety lies in successfully urging
Weaver not to fill his appointment.
The state Democratic committee Is
much disturbed over the matter.
