How Tunnel Rails Eust.

AS showing how rails rust in tunnels,
one has but to look 1T a lot piled up in
the U. P. r. yard, which calls to mind
a statement concerning observations in
the Altenberk tunnel, which is about
1890 feet long and located on n curve of
2950 feet radius. The rails have been
been down for eleven years, and, at the
end of that time, were covered to n
depth of .16 to .24 inch by hard scalee,
which could only be removed by a
knife. They were composed mainly of
iron sulphide, and were found princi-
pally on the web. While the weight of
tho rail was much reduced in this man
ner, its sectional area was found to have
increased, owing to the fakey character
of the rust. The new rails have been
covered with u mixture consisting largely
of tar, which is renewed every six
months. The gravel ballast has also re-
ceived partial covering of broken lime
stone, and by this means it is hoped
that the formation of rust will be re-
tarded. In the Brandleite tunnel in
Thuringten it was found that rails and
metal ties were destroyed by rust as
fast us by the passing trains. The ties
lost about SO pounds each in six years.
This tunnel is nearly 10000 feet long,
and is on tangent. having q one per

cooln... I'm /. Mixed College.


There is GOODNESS between the boys
and the girls Of the Stanford university.
It all came about from question Of pro-
priety.' The boys gave a ball in their
dormitory hall on Monday night, to
which they invited all the girl students,
as well as the professors. Elaborate
preparations were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening of enjoy
ment. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two of the more modest and re
tiring of the maidens in the girls dormi-
tory were shocked at the ayowed inten-
ton of some of the girls. to attend the
ball, and called a meeting of the girls, at
which there was a long discussion OF the
affair
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball as
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read a strong
lecture or the evils OF such doings, and,
ON vote, there was majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none Of
them went.
The boys waited long for the coming
of the fair ones, but they came not. Al
first the colegians were very angry
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made a ''stag" party of it
They say, however, that for future fes
tivities they will send no invitations tc
the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociable
girls feel crushed. Francisco

Here is the record of the free silver

repulsed by the republicans at Mime
apolis, by the democrats at Chicago and
by the prohibitionists at Cincinnati.
But the convention at Omaha gave them

Teamsters from Grant county state
that the entire wool clip Of that county

their shipments. Another thing that
tends to Baker city's advantage is that
the road to Heppner is in such bad

TO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

On the first day of March, 1892,
The Advocate Publishing Company
was organized under the laws Of the
state of Kansas and assumed control
of the business OF this Office. The
editorial and business management
was placed in the hands Of DR.. s.
McLsllin. All bills due the old
company must be paid to him and all
obligations of the company will be
paid by him.
The incorporation Of this company
places our business upon a thor
oughly substantial and absolutely re-
sponsible basis, and insureS the in
tersst and cooperation Of q large
number of people in the future sue
cess of the paper. 1t will likewise
insure increased confidence OF pa
irons and OF business men through
out the country and should result in
q large increase of business. During
the coming campaign THE ADVOCATE
should be in every household in our
state, aud should likewise have a
wide circulation in other states; and
with the new impetus that will now
be impaired to it it's business patron
age should in every way be largely
increased. It's future being now as
sured the friends Of cur cause should
make renewed efforts to extend its
influence, as in no other way can so
much be done to contribute to the
success of the Peoples party in this
momentous year 1892.

THAT FUSION RESOLUTION.

The Kansas City Journal and sew
eral other Republican papers are
wasting any amount of gas over an
imaginary "split" in the Reform Press
Association upon fusion resolution.
No fusion resolution was offered or
considered by the association at it's
recent meeting. A resolution was
submitted relative to the policy which
the Peoples party should assume
toward other parties in the approach
ing campaign, but it said nothing
about fusion, and there was no split
in consequence of it.
The Journals story is another in
Vention Of the Fletcher Meredith va
riety, and it might save large amount
of space and considerable wind by
making sure of the facts before MAX
ing more extended comments. If it
will take good care Of its own party
upon the fusion question it will have
all the business it can we'll attend to
in this line.

ON TO OMAHA.

Omaha is the place and July 4 the
time for the nomination of the next
president and vice president Of the
United States. The convention to
assemble on the anniversary Of Amer
lean independence has very plain
duty to perform. The St Louis con-
ference of industrial organizations
has agreed upon platform that is
satisfactory to all, and which all are
pledged to stand upon. The conven-
ton should plant itself squarely on
that platform without any change,
nominate its candidates and adjourn.
This course will insure success. Any
other is fraught with danger.

One gear ago the Republican was

THE QUESTION OF PROHIBITION IN KAN.
ty GAS

head of the great and only prohibi-
tion party Of our state, has added to
his already long list Of pardons by
releasing from imprisonment Messrs.
Tuchmsn and Jockheck, Of this city.
Mr.. Jockheck has been one OF the
most notorious and persistent Violst-
ors Of the prohibitory law that ever
disgraced the state. He is bad man
on general principles, and has an ut
ter contempt Of law.
We are informed that the temper
anCe people joined in the application
for their pardons. OF course; the tenn
persnce people who are booming
prohibition in Kansas as above all
other issues, are doing so in the in
terest Of the Republican party, and
not in the interest Of sobriety aud re-
gard for law; and hence, when the
pardon of a violator Of law promises
a vote for that party they favor the
pardon, and Governor Humphrey is
always ready to grant it. The long
and the short of the matter is that
prohibition in Kansas is designed by
the Republican party, not for the
suppression Of the liquor traffic, but
as a blind with which to obscure
other issues now before the people.
Many honest and sincere temper
ance reformers have been beguiled
by the false and hypocritical pretenses
Of the Republican party upon this
subject from year to year, until for
bearanCe can no longer be considered
a virtue. and many of them are get
ting their eyes open to the true situa-
tion.
We desire at this time, and just in
this connection, TO call attention to q
few very significant suggestions OF
leading Republican papers upon the
subject Of prohibition. The Atchison
Champion Of March 4, 1892, under
the title, "A Gentle Hint" in the
course Of it's remarks, says:
The Champion insists thatthe only wise course
TO pursue with reference to prohibition this year
Is 70 quit discussing lt; to keep It out Of the
Of the platform; or II, in the Judgment Of the
convention, some expression Is needeo, give 1t
as little prominence rs possible, and having
framed the platform, nominate an honest MAI
like Marshall NJ. Murdock, who, no matter what
his private views on any question are, Will not
prove recreant to his official oath, nor Stultlfy
himself by any unworthy course.
That is, in plain Anglo Saxon, if it
is necessary, in the judgment of the
convention, to insert in the platform
q bait for suckers in order to catch
the vote of the temperance people, do
80 by all means, but make it as little
conspicuous as possible. Having done
this, the next thing to be done is to
nominate a man for governor like
Marshall NJ. Murdocky who is known
to be emphstically opposed to prohi.
bition, in order to catch the anti
prohibition vote. We submit that
this is a fair construction of the
Champions language.
The Emporis Republican OF March
2 has the following editorial, which
