Three-mile Tunnel

The tunnel on the Great Northern,
under the summit of the Cascades, will
be Ii, 900 feet long instead of 5000, and
will require three years to complete in
stead of one, says Wenatchee, Wash,
dispatch. When completed, it will be
the second longest tunnel in the United
States the first being the Hoosac tunnel
in Massachusetts, four and half miles
long. The final location is nov being
made by A. NJ. Lupfer, resident en-
gineer. The tunnel will be a tangent
with curve at the east approach. 1t is
hardly probable any work on it
will be done this year. The switchbaek
over the mountain mas been located, and
is now under construction. On the east
side it nearly finished, but on the west
side it will take a little longer. The
maximum grade on the east side is 81
per cent, and on the west side per
cent, the descent being more rapid and
the obstacles greater. At one point the
line passes back and forth six times on
the same hillside. The difference in
elevation between tie summit and the
point where the switchback joins the
main line is 1000 feet. The medium
grade on the main line through the
Cascades will be % per cent, the same
as on the Northern Pacific. Most of the
grading along the Wenatchee River, as
far as Mason Creek canyon, is COM
pleted. From that point to the
summit, fifteen miles, will take q
month longer. But for the scarcity Of
laborers, the work would be in much
more advanced condition.

A SWINDLEiR.

A Maine clergyman was gricvously
swlndled the other day by fellow
who called him up at a, late hour at
night in order to marry him to his
girl. After the ceremony the bride
groom handed him a large envelope,
for which the clergyman was duly
thankful After the fellow had gone
the clergyman tore open the envelope
to find amid many wrappings only
single ten cent piece. His feelings,
however, were partially Modified to
read the next day that the man was
arrested for larceny. This shows that
even the best men will be swlndled at
times. There is one thing, however,
that the public can take with perfect
impunity without ear of being swim
died, these are the Laxative Gum Drops.
They are the best things for all stom-
ach troubles and every form Of indi-
gestion. They are what their name
indicates, mild laxative, but they are

The Naming OF TIpperusaiem.

That thriving settlement. Tpperusa-
lem City, oklahoma, has curious
name, and an even more curious his
tory. Tipperusalem was founded last
year by Timothy p. Grady and Col. H.
NJ. Kaufman, upon whose holdgings it
was built. Now Mr.. Tim" Grady is q
steadfast Irishman, while Col. kaut-
mann is proud of an ancestry which
followed Moses to the promised land.
Mr.. Grady wanted to call the city after
his old home-Tipperary. Col. kauf-
mann was equally anxious to name it
Jerusalem. A squabble resulted, and
for time it seemed as though the town
was going to be divided into two dis
tinct municipalities. Finally, however,
a settlement was effected. Young Pat.
Grady fell in love with Rebecca. Kauf-
mann, and through their interference
the old men shook hands and agreed to
compromise matters by calling the
place ''Tipperusalem." Thus it will re-
main until some fool ordinance people
come along and change it.-Brdndon

What the Mills Bill Proposed to Do
for the Farmer

]. 1t proposed duty of 10 per cent. on
barley as against 30 cents bushel under
present tariff, thus depriving the farmer of
a home market worth $4,000, 900 yearly.
2. 1t proposed duty on leaf tobacco
from ST. to S1.75 less than under the
present tariff. thus depriving the farmer
OF home market worth S7,0OO,O00 an
nually.
3. 1t proposed duty of 10 cents per
buShel on potatoes, 10 cents less than un-
der the present tariff, thus depriving the
farmer of home market worth S1,60O,00O
yearly.
4. 1t proposed to keep eggs on the free
list, thus depriving the poultry raiser of a
home market worth S1,700,000 yearly.
5. 1t proposed duties on prunes, nuts,
raisns and other fruits 30 per cent. lower
than under the present tariff, thus depriv-
ing the fruit raiser of home market worth
So ,250 600 annually.
&. 1t proposed to insure the utter ruin OF
of the American wool grower by exposing
him to the disastrous competition of scent
wool under free wool tariff, which would
have caused a depreciation in the average
price of American wool of 1853 cents per
pound, as shown by a comparison of prices
in London and Philadelphia of similar
grades of wool at corresponding dates.
free wool was adopted by the Democratic
House in the Fifty-second Congress-
