THE EXPRESS HELD UP.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 Taken
by Robbers Near independence, La.


The Chicago train OF the Illinois Central
was held up at $50 P. N. by four men at q
point just below Independence, ia.
Two men boarded the train at Hammond
station, and, covering the engineer and fire.
man, ordered them to 90 ahead AMI take the
siding at Independence SO that the down
train could pass.
After the down train had passed two other
men, who were standing on the track, joined
their confe3erates and ordered the train
backed to the seyenty-seven mile post The
men then at the point OF pistols made the
engineer ana nrenen go back and open the
express door.
They robbed the Southern express safe OF
several thousand dollars, estimated from

in his opposition to the modern, rapid,
hazardous manner of conducting bust
ness. Harry was his chief book-keeper,
young man of pleasing address, active
and ambitious, but affected, to some ex-
tent, by the prevailing haste to be rich.
His birth, however, had been humble
he had, in fact, begun life as a newsboy;
so his suit for the hand of the staid old
merchants daughter did seem pre-
sumptuous. The one exception men
toned was looking at the matter from
the standpoint of love, which knows no
presumption. Best of all, Annie herself
did not think it presumptuous, and would
not let James say so. He had long ago
told her his love, and she had blush
ingly confessed her Joy and her recipro-
cation. 1t is needless to tell how it be-
gan, for it is the old, old story. In a
word, though, it sprang from a dinner
her father had given to his clerks, at
which she had presided with grace and
charm irresistible to the young man
Now the only thing between him and
happiness was the fathers consent.
"When will you ask him, James2" she
inquired, IA they sat Ill her parlor con-
sidering the subject.
Her manner and look as she asked
him brought to his face a look of de-
termination which instantly called adj
miration to her own.
II will ask him now" he said de-
cisively. SIS he in2'
"Yes, he is reading in the library. Go
in to him, an oh! James, how anxiously
shall wait"
1t was no easy matter to approach the
matter of-faCt merchant, whose freedom
of speaking his mind was we'll known
even upon a question of business, but
upon this particular subject he was tor
midable, sitting by a table peacefully
reading the evening paper; his thoughts
leagues away from such an uncommon
place affair as love.
He looked up annoyed as Harvey went
IL, dropping the paper and revealing his
strong face and his steady eyes fixed in
quiringly upon him.
The young lover was tempted to
change his GRAND to one of business
na1ure, but thought of Armies disap-
pointmenr decided him, and he said,
taking the chair indicated by the old
gentleman:
''Mr. Kirkland, have come to ask you
for Annie
The steady eyes grew even steadier,
the strong face stronger, and the precise
lips were drawn in a moment before he
said
Very well, we will have plain, free
talk over the matter. Put yourself at
ease. as : we were discussing a business
question. What do you want my daugh-
ter fora"
For my wife"
''Um, your wife. Do you need Il
wife?n
~ need her. M Kirlaud."
leave personalities out, Mr. Harvey.
We will discuss it as we would business
project"
Ion that basis, then, I think it is a
good business policy for man to marry
when he reaches the proper age, and
have reached it."

The partizan press of the country
is wnndarfuHy axercrsnd, and bag
righteous horror against Cy Welfin-
ton for accepting the position of
chief solicitor for the Great Northern
railroad, after denouncing monopolies
during the last campaign. If Mr..
Wellington should refuse this offer
would that stop monopolies? Is not
this silly stuff to put into a news
paper; the railroad is just as
necessary as the farmer, one cannot
progress without the other. The
evils of system are not the system.
Is it any worse for railroad to water
stock, than for farmer to sprinkle
salt on a calf to induce farrow COW
to lick it, for love of the salt; but the
design of the farmer is to prove the
cow fresh. Both are the evils of the
system; and who can say but Mr..
Wellington, when he understands the
inward workings of the company may
cure the evils. Give US something
fresh.

It is our earnest desire to impress
upon the minds of the public the
superiority of the service offered by
the Wisconsin Central Lines to Mil
waukee, Chicago and all points East
and South. Two fast trains leave st,
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth daily,
equipped with Pullman Vestibuled
Drawing, Room Sleepers, Dining Cars
and Coaches of the latest design. Its
Dining Car Services is unsurpassed,
which accounts, to a great degree, for
the popularity Of this line. The

EXPRESS COMPANIES.

We are pleased to see, the exkorbi-
tant charges Of the express companies,
taken up by the country press with
more unanimity than formerly, this
fall. We tried in the past to call
attention to this grievance, and now
that the matter is being stirred up,
wish to contribute our mite to the
redressing of the evil. The country
press suffers from this evil heavily,
and their patrons also suffer; and for
the interest of both, the press should
move. The legislature is the power
to be moved in the matter, and the
newspapers should assail this body
persistently. No outsider can be-
live that these companies carry
packages as cheaply as they could
afford to do. The legislature can
legislate justly, and yet COMPEL these
leeches to carry packages for half
present rates. Send marked copies of
your paper containing articles on this
question, to your Representative and
Senator; keep up the attack all
through the session if necessary until
something is done.

The Winnebago City Press-News
prints this interview with Hon. David
Secor: owe are raising entirely too
much wheat. There is no margin on
the right side of the ledger in it this
year, while on the other hand, the
pork dairying, and poultry interests
ars all paying largely. One of our
greatest losses is in cattle. For in
stance, 1,O0O-pound steer is sold to
the dealers for say, SIS, or D cents
per pound. This is also rather
higher than they will average. The
steer is taken to Iowa Or Nebraska
and fed for a few months On corn and
tame hay until it weighs 400 lbs. It
is then taken to Chicago and sold for
$40, or 5 cents per pound. And, by
tho way, this quotation is rather
under than above the average of the
past month. It will be seen that the
feeder receives $45 more than he paid
which is too great a difference, and
readily explains why the farmer who
raises the steer up till it weighs 1000
lbs, makes no money. The steer
should never be sold to the Iowa or
Nebraska middleman. We should
raise corn and tame hay here in
such quantities as to be able to fatten
and pocket the profits which are now
going to others.

A bill is in course of preparation
and will be introduced in the Senate
of the United States, suspending i'm
migration, except from North and
South American states, for one year
after March l. As there are very few
if any immigrants arriving from
South America, the bill, if passed,
will practically close our ports to i'm
migration to that time. The meas
ure will be bitterly opposed by every
steamship line in the country, as it
will, of course, injurer their business,
but it ought to receive the unquali-
fed endorsement of every labor Or
ganization and every man in the
country who wants to hold up the
standard of American labor. With
out taking into consideration the ef-
feet it would have in raising the
sanitary condition of our country.
the bill would be the keynote that
would herald the exodus of strikes
and labor troubles, for it's effect
would be to convince the nation that
the time has come when we ought to
permanently forbid the landing of
the scum of foreign nations upon our
shores, to breed the discomfort and
trouble among laboring classes,
which has always been their mission

IlPURCHAs!No SILVER.

Senator David B. Hill has intro
duced bill into the United States
Senate for the repeal of the silver
purchase bill inacted July 4, 1890;
and Representative Williams has in
PRODUCED a similar bill into the house.
According to this bill large amount
of silver bullion is purchased month
ly by the Government, and treasury
notes issued therefor, and the silver is
stored away in vaults for no apparent
purpose. Now the question might be
asked by a farmer, why the govern
ment don't purchase wheat in like
manner, and give treasury notes in
payment? If this is done to prop up
the price of one merchantable article,
why not do it with others? Is
it not high time to discontinue this
class legislation; for that is what it
really is?
If this paternaism is good for the
the silver miners why should it not
be applied to iron, Zeal and tin miners,
and i'll fact to every industry in the
country? We do not say these things
because we are in favor of what some
people call a paternal government for
we are not far enough advanced to
see the advantage of such system,
but to show the inconsistency of such
gross discrimination.
We sincerely hope there will be no
doubt of the Democrats having a
majority in both houses Of Congress
so they may have full opportunity to
show what they will do in the way of
levelling distinctions in the way of
class legislation and monopolistic
trusts. If, with full power they do
nothing, they will be buried as deep
as their Republican competitors now
lies; and on the ashes of both parties
will arise a party of the people, for
the people. The day has gone by
when majority of the people will
stand by party for the sake of a
party name, that and nothing more;
this fact is ominous for office seekers
and parties.
In 1884 Mr.. Cleveland was elected
president with all the power of the
government against him; in 1888 he
was defeated with all the power Of the
government in his favor, again in 1892
he was elected by the largest popular
majority eyer given to any president,
with the whole power Of the govern
ment against him. Parties may learn
from these facts, that the people hold
d power III tileir hand which they will
use when driven too far.

DEAD BEAT ADVERTISING

A year Or so ago The Qeen City
Silver and Nickel plating Co., of east
st. Lous pulled the wool over the eyes
Of some of the Stevens and Big Stone
county papers. As far as our ex-
perience goes, and it goes too far on
this line, the system is to get the
papers to advertise as long as they
will without money, and then drop
them. We never heard of the Co.,
paying anybody q cent. We now see
they are practising on the The Little
Falls Herald; we sincerely hope our
worthy contemporary will fare better
than we did. BY the way why should
not the country editors Of Minnesota
form an organization for mutual
protection from the leeches that are
flooding the country with their de-
ceptive offers. No mercy should be
shown the blood suckers.
