Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
TO improve speed and give that lux
Ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
5 thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains, magnificent dining
ears, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
a task difficult of accomplishment
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
ocular trains to Englewood subur-
Dan station, close to Worlds Fair
rounds, and you can save time and
rouble by getting off at that point
nd avoid the crowd in the city.

Governor Flower, OF New York,
has recently been talking to the far
mers Of that State on the subject of
roads and he shows that he knows
what he is talking about. Among
other things he said: Every farmer
knows that bad roads often keep him
from town when prices of grain are
high, and every farmer knows how
much larger load his team would
pull if the roads were hard and
smooth. Every farmer knows what
q considerable item in his annual
expenses is the repair of wagons and
harness. Every farmer knows how
much more it costs to keep three or
four horses instead of one or two, as
he might with equal service with a
system of good roads. Every farmer
knows that his farm would increase
in value if by good highways it could
be brought in speedy communication
with village or city. All these things
our farmers know, and they know
that the sum of these pecuniary
advantages in favor of good roads
would vastly outweigh the cost OF
procuring them All this is true
and still the roads do not show much
improvement. Nearly every section
of the country is afflicted in the same
way and plan for relief has not yet
been suggested.

Augustus Terrible Hurricane Made A
Black Record.

Reports which continue to come in
from the terrible hurricane In August
last show that it was the most de-
structive to shipping in so short a
merchant marine. investigation
shows that DO vessels foundered,
probably taking everything living to
the bottom of the sea. In addition,
five vessels are reported as missing,
1Svessels were abandoned at sea, 40
stranded and 190were damaged. The
fate Of 10 is unknown. and almost
every day some vessel supposed to be
safe is posted as messing.
The loss of life was the largest ever
known. The crews of the steamships
Alvo and Horn Head alone number
ing over 100. The loss on sailing
craft was enormous. The money loss
is estimated by marine underwriters
at S4,OO0,000. The loss of life is
placed at 564.
The entire Atlantic coast, from
Maine to North Carolina, is rendered
dangerous to- navigation by the dere-
licts which have gone down within
the dreaded hurricane. Nearly all
have only their topmasts visible and
are dangerous at night to any steam
craft. Reports show that the dere'
licts are well distributed along the
coast with number close together
between Cape Hatteras and st. Au-
gustine. Vessels with lumber car
goes would float. but those in ballast
would beyond a doubt, go down at
once.-Philadelphia Record, I'd.

Crops in Tidewater Virginia.

The following is given out by the
State Department OF Agriculture as
the condition of crops in Tidewater
Virginia for the month ending Sep
TENDER 25th:
In Tidewater the corn crop is gem
orally good, and would have been
above the average but the dry wealth
er in August injured it to some ey-
tent, especially that which was
seeded late. The storm of August
Goth hurt the fodder by beating 1t
down, and the amount of labor neces-
sary to gather it has been much in
creased. This damage to the fodder,
coupled with the short hay crop,
will make long forage scarce in some
of the Tidewater counties.
The peanut crop is reported to be
fair in some counties, while in others
the acreage is smaller than usual, and
that the yield will be q small one.
The oat crop is reported better
than for several years.
Late vegetables, Irish potatoes,
cabbage and turnips will be short in
some counties, owing to the drought.
Live stock is in good condition and
free from disease.
Farmers are preparing to seed their
fall crops of wheat and oats.

The returns received by our far
mers this year for their staple prod
uct, while not large, have been for
the most part sufficiently remunera-
tive, to be satisfactory to them.
They had no right to expect better
prices, in fact, in the present tinan-
cial condition of the country. 1t has
been matter of surprise to us,
indeed, while thousands of consum-
ers are standing idle for want of EN-.
ployment, that fair prices have been
realized for them. But there is a
reason for it and it is due to our far
mers, doubtless, that 1.-The bottom
has not dropped OUT OF the sweet
potato market before this--to the
better judgment displayed by them
in disposing of them than they have
ever done before. They waited long
er this year for them to grow to mar
ketable dimensions. have culled
them better and exercised more dis
cretion in forwarding them to mar
ket. But, about one-third of the
crop is still on hand and as we would
not have our farmers sacrifice them,
it is our duty to say to them, not to
rush them to market too hurriedly,
and in saying this we but voice the
opinion of many of the best commits
sion merchants. And they cannot
err in the duty they owe to them
selves in this respect, if as they say,
they cannot afford to raise them for
less than dollar not per barrel, they
hold them when they fall below that
price. Our farmers can beat the
world in making potatoes and we
want them relieved of the imputation
of not knowing how to sell them. In
making these suggestions we have
not, of course, intended to advise
them to hold their potatoes vixen it
pays to sell them, but merely to say,
not to so overstock the market that
it will not pay them.

Girl Lovers Married.

WHEELING, W. VA, Oct. 4.-This
morning q slender and beardless
youth applied at the county clerks
Office at Steubenville for a marriage
license, giving his name as Augustus
Cathon and that of his intended
bride as Mary Brinkman. He got
the license and went to Toronto,
where he met Miss Brinkman, the
two repaired to the home of a min
lister, who, having his suspicious ex-
cited by Cathon's action, refused to
perform the ceremony. The couple
then went to the little town of Empire,
where Justice Whitcomb married
them. After the ceremony it was
ascertained that the groom" was
Sallie Stringer, native of Jefferson
county, who had met Miss Brinklnan
in hospital at Columbus, where she
was nurse. Miss Brinkman was
about the only one who expressed no
surprise at this discovery, and the
couple announced they will remove
to st. Louis and live together.

Decrease of the Pension Rolls.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The high
water mark as to the number OF
pensioners on the rolls aud the
amount of money to be expended
per year has evidently been reached.
A statement prepared at the pension
bureau shows that on July 1, 1898,
there were 96G,012 pensioners of all
kinds being borne upon the rolls.
On Sept. /. 1898, two months after
ward, there were only 964,39S, show
ing net decrease during that time
of GOA pensioners. This is an aver
age net decrease of S07 per month,
and if extended through the year
would show a net decrease of 1854.
This is the first time in thirty three
years that net decrease to the rolls
has been shown. 1t is estimated at
the bureau that the loss to the rolls
during the present fiscal year by
death, remarriage, minors reaching
the non-pensionable age, &C., will
reach $4,000 as against $4,000 last
year. And it is not thought that the
additions to the rolls will reach much
more than 10000.

It is estimated at New Orleans that
a thousand lives were lost in the
storm that ragged about Grand Isle,
about sixty miles south of that city,
Sunday night. Steamers and small
sailing craft were wrecked by the
fury of the wind and consequent high
seas Low-lying'lands were flooded
and towns and halnlets submerged.
The storm seems not to have lasted
long, but during its continuance was
fearfully destructive to life and prop
erty. The same storm. it seems,
struck Mobile and the adjacent coun-
try. and there, too, did great dam
