During visit of the railroad
commissioners to this city about a
year ago they were psesented with a
petition from Frank Wrightson and
80 farmers of Easily praying for
side track facilities to load their
grain at that point. Nothing fur
ther was heard of the petition, but
we learn from the annual report of
the commissioners that said position
took. ."the regular course with the
following result:
'Said petition was duly presented to
the board, and the secretary was di-
rected to forward the same to General
Manager Mohler, of the Great North
'ern Railway company, and request
that the prayer of the petitioners be
granted.
Copy of petition was forwarded and
request made as directed.
The following answer was received
to said petition"
EMBELLISHMENTS OFFICE,
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY Co.,
ST.. PAUL, Minn., July 81, 1891.
"Hoa. NJ. J. Edgerley, Secretary North Dakota
Railroad Commissioners, Bismarck, N. D.:
"DEAR SIR: Referring to the app]i-
cation of sundry parties for sidetrack,
midway between Osnabrock and Lang
don, [ beg to say that in our opinion,
the two stations named furnish all the
facilities at the present time demanded
in the portion of the country where
they lie. An additional station cannot
be afforded by the company in this
vicinity until the traffic shall have
largely and permanently increased.
This line has not been able to take
care of itself for the past two years,
and to increase the cost and expense
of the same by additional sidetrack
and stations, would be wholly unwar-
raDted.
Yours respectfully,
w. P. CLOUGH,
Vice-President. !"

LONDON, October s.-The question as to
who will next succeed Tennyson as poet
laureate is argued from all points of dis
cussion in literary, social and political cir
cles 1t is not thought by Swinburne's
friends that he would accept it and his
early democratic lyrics seem to bar the
way. After him, VIM. Morris ''poet-arti-
san" is the ablest yersider in the country.
But he is rabid socialist and so is out of
the race. This leaves the real aspirants,
Lewis Morris, Sir Edwin Arnold, Alfred
Austin and Robert Buchanan. The first
named is the most likely candidate, for
Arnold has a faint of heresy. Buchanan
is occasionally erratic in his views, and AL
fred Austin is scarcely up to the mark.
Lewis Morris as a candidate for the lau-
eateship is blameless; his poetical works
bear a general air of respectability. He
wrote "Songs of Great Britain" now in
the third edition, embodying odes on the
queens jubilee and on the imperial insti-
tute, the latter of which he wrote by re-
quest. Owing to illness of Tennyson, for
this he received the jubilee medal from the
queen. As a man and verse writer he has
much to commend him TO the court. Good
English critics place him on a par with
Tupper.

There was sad accident at Main and
Fifth streets last night, and Gully, the
faithful old dog which has held its station
in front of Talcott's jewelry store for sew
eral years, met his death under the wheels
of an electric car. Gully is deaf, and
could not hear the repeated ringing
of the electric bell. He was instantly
killed, and received a burial worthy of his
record. Gully was a faithful old fellow, and
intelligent, too. He was readily entrusted
with a note from the store to the house,
and often answered the purpose of a mes
senger boy, never stopping to play on the
way. Gully distinguished himself in the
spring Of 1882, when the block bounded by
Fourth and Fifth, and Main and Washing
ton, was burned. While the fire was raging
no time was lost in moving the stock. Tai
colts heavy safe was taken to the opposite
side of the street. Gully took up his sta
ton by its side, and for three continuous
days and nights never left it. He has al
ways been petted, and was a general favor
ite among Old-Hmers.

SIC Knocked rFim ont.

The only occupant Of an up-bound closed
street car as it left the corner Of Main and
Fourth streets this morning was fiashily
dressed young lady in blue suspenders,
jaunty derby hat, turn-down collar and "a
la gents" necktie. At the Olympia hotel a
slow-stepping, elderly gentleman boarded
the car carrying a gold-headed cane
and wearing a pair of ultra-near-sighted
spectacles. Taxing a seat opposite the
young lady, he thus addressed his fellow
passenger;
"Young man, please, how long does this
car remain at the Tumwater terminus2"
Il am nota young man, please, sir ~ was
the spitefui rejoinder.
"Ahem-ah-beg pardon, madam, you
see, 1 am near-sighted, and from your cos
tune / was taking vou-ah-to be-
II am not a madam " was the second
still more emphatic- spiteful answer,
and then she scooted tor, end Of the car
and looked out the windON.
OF course the elderly gentleman was
fairly knocked out in the second round
and taking newspaper from his coal
pocket. he held it under his nose and pre-
tended to be reading but his thoughts
we're: "Not mister-not madam-well

PULASKI, Tenn, October g. General
Weaver and Mrs. Lease arrived this morn
ing, and were met at the depot by 200 farm
ers, mostly in wagons and horseback. who
escorted them into town. The people here
say if Weaver attempts to deny the truth
of the affidayits denouncing his actions
here during the war; there will be trouble.
If he omits all reference to his conduct
while here he will not be molested. He
spoke this afternoon. The democrats have
thirty-five deputies who will attend the
meeting for the purpose of preserving
order.
Weaver spoke this afternoon TO a large
crowd on the public square, the address
lasting thirty minutes. Summing up the
answers to the charges made against him,
General Weaver said: Gas God is nv
judge, never did in Pulaski one single
thing that is charged, except levying
money, and l pronounce the charges un-
qualified falsehoods. The war is over. I
come here ON a mission of fraternity. They
said dared not come. l knew / dared
come and | would have come had threats
been a thousand times stronger" The
speaker was wildly cheered. Mrs. Lease

New YoRK, October S.-Lee Wah, a
small sized Chinese, who dresses like an
American, has been making the rounds in
Chinatown for the purpose of learning
how the Chinese actually feel about the
Geary law. A prominent Chinese mer-
chant on Mott street, who enjoys
the confidence of his countrymen, ac-
knowledged to a reporter that the Chi
nese were engaged in raising money for the
purpose of testing the legality Of the Geary
law. ''We have about SS,OOO," he said.
"We can raise $4,000 Oh short notice. We
will not register"
New YoRK, October s.-Collector In
ternal Revenue Kerwin said today. II
have learned that Cinnamon in this city are
raising money which they intend to use in
the attempt to test the legality of the regis
tration act. / ask what object do they ex-
pect to gain by raising money! 1t must
be their intention to corrupt members of
congress to obtain desirable legislation or
the money is to go in the pockets Of the Six
Companies in San Francisco. This is i
think, the primary object.

MYSTERIOUS TRAIN.
An Occurrence That Nobody seems

An Occurrence That Nobody Seems
Able TO Explain.
at 6:15 last evening a special train con
sisting of a passenger engine and two pri-
vate cars dashed through Olympia on the
Northern Pacific in the direction of Ta-
coma, like it was in race for life Con-
trary to the established custom, the train
did not stop and permit the conductor to
register at the depot. Instead the cOnduc-
tor signalled the engineer to "pull out" for
all he was worth and he pulled" with
vengeance. The cars whizzed past the de-
pot so fast that the people in the neighbor-
hood could not read the names of the spe-
cial cars. The railroad men we're as deeply
mystiied as were those not connected with
the company. All they knew about the
train and the passengers on board was that
it came from PORTLAND by way of Centralia
and South Aberdeen and had Tacoma for
a destination. The only presumption a
person can make is that some of the high
officials we're lodging about under cover
on important business.

to his feet. He turned himself loose upon
the money question and analyzed it from

problem, and held undisputed sway for the
