Editor Colfar Chronicle /:

In your last issue there appears rath-
or grotesque denial (set up by Mr.. Town.
send) that the road hands moved the
fence back from the caving bank, except
possibly once or twice." as admitted;
that MI. Smith, "renter," requested the
use OF the road hands to move the fence
back, which was complied with. so
much for this admission. Now for furth-
er proof. Subsequent to the using of the
road hands, a. above admitted, Mr.. Teal
personally requested that certain hands
be excused from road duty one day. be-
cause they had helped to move this fence
back. This was also complied with.
Now, it il true that these hands were liv-
ing on MI TeaPs plantation, but Mr..
Townsend forgot that they were subject
to road duty, and as they were allowed
their time on road working day, it natur.
ally follows that they were road hands,
and consequently not paid by Mr.. Teal
Now, Mr.. Townsend. in answer to your
demand for rs 10 come out under our true
name, SO that the public may know who
ID kicking, We will say that our nom de
plume ID for convenience, not from fear
OF any one. Our utterance is voiced by a
great number of persons, who could0ot
sign by reason of number. Again. there
are l30 persons on this end Of the line,
all Of whom land many more) are interest
ed that are kicking. while il appears that
on your end of the line, there are only
two. Now, friend Townsend. is it not
just as we'll as to use nom de plum, or
fight from behind tree, as you call it,
az to stand and let some one shoot over
your shoulder?
We know when We hit the mark by the
bowl of pain that goes up.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let as say in reply to
Mr.. Kelsoe, that the steamer Dacotah
never at any time paid Mr.. Hyde any
moro for seed than other boats were pay
ing. and simply met the competition in
ed ct Buckeye landing. And, so far as
II: Hyde o0esing fanoier prices for seed
on Mr.. Teale plantation, or 10 his hands,
more than Others, will say that his cotton
seed account does not show any discrim-
nation in price on account of ownership
OF the plantation. All seed that were pur-
chased by him we're purchased legiti-
mately. and through regular channel OF
business, as practiced by all others en-
gagged in business, right that every per-
son In these United States ought to enjoy.
The right to pursue and follow q le9iti-
mate business, to sell to whoever wishes
to purchase, and to purchase Of those de-
string to sell. Although it can be proven
that Mr.. Hyde did absolutely refused to
buy seed OF Mr.. Teal's customers in the
tirst OF the season. We have the same
right to trade as Others. When we pay
cash and receive an equivalent it is SIM
ply mutual business transaction. and
when all parties interested are satisfied
no one else has right to say anything

BIG RAILWAY SCHEME.
The Illinois Central system Reachir
Out for Further Territory.

The Illinois Central System Reaching
Out for Further Territory.
FREEPoRT (Ill), Nov. 2S.-A railroad
with one terminal at the Gulf of Mexico,
another on Lake Michigan and the third
at the Pacific Ocean would make a sys-
tenn more extensive than the world has
yet seen. That may be possible some
time; in fact, from present indications it
is probable, and the Illinois Central will
be the company to own such line. Ac-
cording to weIl-founded rumors in rail-
road circles, it already has a line from
Chicago to New Orleans and one from
Chicago into Iowa. Several years ago
there was begun from Sioux City the Pa
citic Short Line, destined to be the most
direct route to the Pacific. 1t was built
for the distance Of few hundred miles
through Nebraska, when work ceased in
the sand regions because of the lack Of
funds. Since then things have not gone
well, and it is said the road can now be
| bought for fifteen cents on the dollar
BY pushing West the road could reach
the Pacific over a route 200 miles shorter
than any other. The difficulty in the way
is a 201-mile stretch OF sand, which would
yield no profits for years, perhaps never.
1t is said the Illinois Central officials
have had the matter under consideration
and think tavorably Of it; that, in fact,
the purchase would have been made and
the extension begun this summer had it
not been for the disturbed condition of
the money market.

Memorial Window and Tablet at
Westminster Abbey Unveiled.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The memorial tablet
and window to the memory of James
Russell Lowell, erected in the old chapter
house of Westminster Abbey by the sub
scription of his English admirers, were
unveiled to-day with impressive cere-
monies. Among the speakers were
United States Embassador Thomas T.
Bayard, who delivered glowing eulo-
gium on the genius and worth of the
dead statesman and poet and referred
eloquently TO the services of Lowell,
while Minister to Great BritiOn, III bring
ing about better understanding between
England and the United States.
The Dean of Westminster, in his ad-
dress, reckoned Lowell among the great
est literary men, including Chaucer,
Spencer, Milton, Dryden and Shake
speare.
Joseph Chamberlain expressed thanks
to Minister Bayard for his presence at
the ceremony.
Leslie Stephen said on Lowell had
fallen no small share of the spirit of the
great masters of English literature. The
inscription on the tablet was as follows:
This tablet is placed here in memory OF
James Russell Lowell, United States
Minister to the Court of st. James, from
1880 to 1885, by his English friends"

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Beating Railroads.

The favorite American custom of beat
ing railroad is not in Europe considered
as deserving Of praise and, Judging from
the penalties attached, is not likely to
flourish to any great extent. Recently in
Prussia twelve railway employees and
thirty-eight cattle-shippers were arrested
for indulging in this practice. 1t appears
the shippers arranged with the trainmen
to omit punching the coupon ticket upon
which they travelled, thereby obtaining
in that country of so great a magnitude
that the sum of 200 bail offered by one
of the accused was refused. 1t is to be
feared that were such law in exist
ence in this country it would tend, if
vigorously enforced. to material reduc-
ton in the number of persons travel
ing on some trains. Things appear to be
different in Prussia, but of course we are
more highly civilized than they.-Rail-

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 12O, 100 and 32o acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of in terest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of five equal an.
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es.
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre, An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
hone-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up OF a largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and Its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

How to Dry Wet shoes.

When, without overshoes, you have
been caught in heavy rainstorm, per-
haps you have known already what to do
with your best kid boots, which have
been thoroughly wet through. and which,
if left to dry in the ordinary way, will be
stiff, brittle and unlovely? If not, you
will be glad:to learn what [ heard only
recently from one whose experience is of
value.
First wipe off gently with soft cloth
all surface water and mud then, while
still wet, rub well with kerosene oil,
using for the purpose the furred side Of
Canton flannel. Set them aside till partially
dry. when a second treatment with oil is
advisable. They may then be deposited
in a conveniently warm place. where they
will dry gradually and thoroughly. Be-
fore applying French kid-dressing, give
them a final rubbing with the flannel
still slightly dampened with kerosene,
and your boots will be soft and flexible
as new kid, and be very little affected
by their bath in the rain.-Harper' 5

In Southern Italy.

On Good Friday, March 3lst, we drove
into Taranto to see the Passion process
sion. 1t passed very slowly down the
Corso in the midst of a great moving
crowd. The members OF the Confrater-
nita, with white hoods and wells, twisted
wreath of thOrn-stems around thelf lore7
heads, a white soutane, blue sasn, anu
very pale lemon-colored cape, marched
barefoot before each of the palchl, or
platforms. These were carried on lhe
shoulders Of four stalwart brothers OF the
order, assisted by four men in civil dress
Lite-size figures, realistically painted
told the history of the Passion III SIX
tableaus.
First came Christ, kneeling in the
Garden, while white-robed angel stood
beside and offered Him the cup. Then, a
terrible Christ at the tiagellation pillar,
His bones laid bare at the shoulders,
knees, ribs, the pallid flesh torn with
livid wales and bleeding wounds. Then,
Christ robed in the purple, with the
crown of thorns-the Ecce Homo. Then
the Crucifi Xion. Then black bier, with
a huge black cross above 1t. Then the
chief piece of the whole shOw-a dead,
white Christ, covered with veil, placed
upon a rich mortuary bier. Beside the
usual bearers, four gentlemen OF the city,
in full dress, held the four ends OF the
pail. Among them was the magnificent
Marchese d'A-, with his grand swag-
ger. "Che bella presenzaw said the peo-
ple Their lackeys in livery attended
these four noblemen.
The procession was terminated by a
Madonna Dolorosa, in rather fashionable
mourning, holding red heart in her
hand. Priests and other brethren Of the
confraternity closed the cortege. Three
brass bands, sounding lugubrious and

roasts the Supreme Court for using such
expressions as the "tail wags the dog,''
judicial insolvence," etc. Referring to
the railroad litigation, the Governor says
an unlucky marriage between the dig
nifty of the Federal Court and these cor
porations must be annulled, and the own
ers of the bonds must be made TO under
stand that there is point beyond which
the patience of the State will not permit
them to 60. The Governor expresses
wonder that the Dispensary Act has stood
the test of the tempest of litigation which
it has occasioned.
