icky times?
l understand that the REPRESENT
ATIvE is enlightening the people on
the great questions of the day. May
| ask you to send me few specimen
copies? | am trying to inform my
self on these questions and deter
mine, if possible, whether or not the
old parties are as corrupt as l believe
them to be. have taken great in
tereSt in the silver question and
should like to get better informed on
that.
l shall be pleased to hear from you.
In reply to the question of our cor
respondent we would say that we see
nothing to make good times in the
near future. A foreign war might
help us out; but the money power
controls the nations of Europe, and
it is not to it's interest that they
should go to fighting. Hence all they
do is to strut and parade and drill
and make faces at each other. Tie
ecorld is noao on falling market. A big
crop next fall simply means lower
prices. There will be increasing pow
erty and immense changes in owner
ship of property. 1t is astonishing
here in st. Paul how many wealthy
families have had to give up their
horses and carriages. The banks are
full of the paper of the so-called rich,
given for taxes and assessments. A
prominent society lady has discharg-
ed all her servants and is doing the
housework herself. The suicides in
all ranks tell the dreadful story. On
ly God knows the vast sum total of
misery inflicted on mankind by mis-
government; and the holocaust is
just beginning. The people have
been saoindled, no other word will ex-
press it, Into the characterization of
silver, and are just beginning to un-
dersta the situation. A dreadful
day of reckoning is ahead Id.

4 Sensational Story.

A man giving his name as Joseph
Mccormick gave himself up to Mar
shall Cole of Lake Crystal, Minheso-
ia, on Oct. %, stating that he was
implicated in the murder of w. j.
Penrose- which occurred in Butte,
Montana, one night about two years
ago. He was accordingly put IN Jail,
from which he shortly afterwards es-
capped. Before making his csc re he
said to a reporter:
"Penrose was elected to the Leg
lslature on the Labor ticket, pledged
20 secure certain reforms, but sold
out. On his return to Butte notice
was served on him to leave the town
within six weeks. He failed to do
50, and on the night six weeks ex-
plred he was shot and killed on the
street. | was known by nickname
around Butte and not by the name
of Mccormick. " But he refused to
divulge it. When asked how the
murder was decided upon he init
mated that it was decreed that Pen
rose should leave the country or die,
and refusing to do the former he was
killed. Who the executioner was
Mccormick would not state, but
from fragments that he allowed to
drop it appears it was some business
man of Butte whose business was in
some way bound up with Penrose's
enemies, and that he drew McCor-
mick into the job. Since the crime
was committed Mccormick said he
had been a wanderer among obscure
mining camps, and spent fifteen
in the mines of Alaska. He
said he was working eastward with
party of companions, when a yearn-
ing to return to the scenes of his
youth in the west took possession of
him and he decided to give himself
Up, stand trial and get off as easy as
possible. He said also that three in
locent miners had been tried for the |
murder but had easily proved an ali |
ii, although parties had been bribed |
o bear witness against them fer the
axe of the reward.

4 Dreadful Catastrophe OF the C.
L. Railroad, Near NadsWOrth.

This city was startled yesterday by
the intelligence that a terrible rail-
| road disaster had occurred on the c..
+. railroad, near Wadsworth by
which number of lives have been
lost. The particulars of the casualty
were learned of railroad man this
morning.
The accident was due to what is
known among trainmen as clap
order" Out of Reno, 10 miles to-
wards Wadsworth, is the station
known as Clarkes; eight or ten miles
further on is Saliva. The accident
occurred between these stations, in a
deep cut, where the road takes a
sharp bend. East bound freight No.
: and west bound freight No. 10,
which had to pass some place be-
tween Reno and Wadsworth, met
there while gong at high rate of
speed and, crashing into each other.
created a terrible wreck, in which
several men were killed and great
damage done to both trains and en-
gines.
The clap order" which caused the
dreadful calamity was issued by
Train Dispatcher Mullins of Wads-
worth. He ordered train No. Z, go
ing east, to pass No. 10, at Saliva,
and ordered the latter to pass No. Z
at Clarkes. In pursuance of these
orders the eastbound freight passed !
Clarkes on its way east, and the
passed Saliva on its way
west, and a collision was inevitable. |
The fatal mistake made by Mullins
was due, no doubt, to oversight.
The collision happened so sudden !
y that there was no time for the
rainmen to do anything Five of
he seven men killed were tramps, |

The Reno Journal claims that
Frank Williams, the man whose body
was found IN the Mono mountains a
week or so ago, and who is known as
"Nagpie" Williams, was killed by
Barth, the State Prison escape. 1t
claims that Barth murdered the man
ON Oct. Goth, and after robbing him
took his horse and blankets and CON
tinued his way to Mexico. There is
considerable probability i'll the story.

The Confederate White House.

"The Confederate White House"
has been doing duty as public school
for many years. The trout on the
street is like that of any ordinary
square mansion, with the hall in the
centre and with q fiat roof. But,
passing directly through the hall to
what should be the rear. one comes
out upon wide gallery, having a
lofty roof level with the floor of the
third story supported by massive pill
lars. From the gallery you look out
upon great yard, shut off from the
side street by high brick wall. The
mansion fecos in. 1t is imposing
when seen ffonsth6 yaru. The ground
floor is a better arrangement than that
of the other ''White House" at Wash
ington. Reception rooms open into
each other and into the central hall,
which alone is large enough for any
ordinary gathering, While the hall and
the surrounding rooms afford COM
nlete circuit for a moving throng.
Different apartments are still known
as 'the Cabinet room," ''ihe reception
parlor," "the State dining room."
and SO on, as in the years of 1S61-65.
But all of them, TO intents and pur-
poses, are still school rooms. The
walls are blackboards on which is set
the copy of "Dare to Be Right" and
various problems in fractions going to
prove that the part cannot be greater
than the whole are exhibited. The
Transformation of the white House"
into museum has not yet commenced.
There is no doubt. however, that the
money will be raised. and the museum
will be added to Richmonds historical
collection. n.-ISt. Louis Globe.

Timber 1000 Years Old.

Experts seem to be divided as 10
which of the two hard woods-jarrah
and karrl--of Western Australia is
the most durable.
Jarrah wood piles two feet two
inches square. driven 33 years ago at
the Large Bay pier, were found, on
examination, to be as sound as the day
they were put in.
Some specimens of karri wood taken
from fence were recently sent 70
London, and, though the wood hdd3
been underground for 25 years. it was
perfectly sound. A specimen of !,
iarrah wood under similar circum-
stances showed serious decay.
Timber of the tamarisk or shittim
w1Xs has been found perfectly sound
III te ancient temples of Egypt in
connection with the stonework which
is known to be at least 1000 years old.
In some tests made with small
squares of various woods buried one
inch in the ground the following re-
suits were obtained: Birch and aspen
decayed in three years; willow and
horse-chestnut i'll four years; maple
and rcd beech in five years; elm, ash,
hornbeam and Lombardy poplar in
seven years; oak. Scotch fir, Wey-
mouth pine and silver fir decayed to a
depth of half an inch in seven yeais;
larch, juniper and arbor vitae were
uninjured at the expiration of tho
seven years.
The redwood of California has the
quality of being nearly fireproof. The
root of the brier is the only wood
which does not burn when exposed to
fire.
Cocns- wood is the hardest known
wood; oak is the strongest The
heaviest British wood is that of the
box-lree, which sinks in water. Horn
beam is the strongest and toughest
wood for mechanical use.
The strongest American wood is the
nutmeg hickory; the most elastic the
Tamar oak; the heaviest, the blue
wood of Texas.
III situations so free from moisture
that we may practically call them dry,
the durability of timber is almost up-
limited. The roof of Westminster
hail Is more than 450 years old. In
Stirling castle are carvings in oak, well
preserved, over 800 years of age.
Scotch fir has been found In good con-
dition after known use of 800 years,
and the trusses of the roof of the
basilica of St. Paul, Rome, were sound
aud good after 1000 years of service.
Wood constantly wet in fresh water
is quite as durable. Piles were dug
from the foundations of the OLD Savoy
Palace in perfectly sound state after
having been down $50 years. The
piles of Cd London bridge were
found sound and perfect 800 years
after they were driven. Detroit Free

An Experiment in Coal.

Mr.. Nathan Strauss, who undertook
during the last winter TO sell certain
amount of coal at cost in the regions
of the city occupied by persons of
small means, furnishes some interest
ing figures as to the enterprise. In
all some $4,000 tickets were sold, of
which 20,501, at 5 cents procured from
20 TO 25 pounds each, and 10 1858, at
10 cents, procured from 40 to so
pounds each. These, it will be seen,
embraced about four-ffths of the
tickets cold; they called for rather
more than one-haIf the coal sold.
The prices were calculated on the basis
of the cost of the coal (s5 for 224O
pounds, without the labor of distrib.
uung.
Mr.. Strauss reports that the "pa-
irons were the thrifty, orderly, and
self-respecting laborers, their wives
and children" and he adds: 'Tha
experiment has demonstrated en-
phatically that within the crowded
districts there are many thousands of
men and women who shrink from re-
ceiviug charity, but who gladly and
gratefully avail themselves of every
opportunity TO make their scant earn
ings go as far as possible" This is
undoubtedly true. 1t would be most
ungracious TO criticise SO generous an
undertaking, and we have no intention
of doing SO in the suggestion that as
the ordinary price at which coal is
peddled by the small measure is from
Sl2 to SIG ton, it would be possible
10 include in the price of tickets the
cost of distribution as well, and thus
make the plan still more nearly free of
any element of charity. [Harper's

Thought 1t Was Part of the Init

The members of the Independent

a few weeks ago, putting him through
the operations supposed to be neces.
sary to convert the ordinary citizen

They were almost through with the

plosion in the store over which the
hall was situated blew the building
into the middle of the street and in
terfered with the ceremonies.

Gated the people from the debris.
Fortunately no one was hurt very
much, but after census had been
taken Mr.. Timberwheel was found 10
be missing. A search was instituted
and before long he was found in an
adjoining yard, where the force Of
the explosion had landed him. He
sat in a lodge-room chair and his eyes
were still blindfolded.
