Col. Lucifer Cassius Weldy, editor
in-chef of the Galena Republican,
which is just now notorious as having
the smallest authenticated circulation
of any of the great Journals Of Chero'
kee county, was in our town Tuesday
and vcntured up the NEWS office stairs
for the first time. Although usually
cool and unexcitable he was upon
crossing the threshold of our type
room quite bewildered at the extensive
array of printing material, compli-
Gated machinery and job work in
course of completion piled about. On
catching his breath he ventnred The
assertion that the News Office was
well appointed and evidently doing
good business. Then he told US bow
awfully that other fellow had lied
about him and departed. Although
this part of it might have been
stretched to some extent we have 1t on
good authority that he did not ride
over on bicycle astraddle.

A Receiver For the Reading.


An application for a receiver for
the Reading road was made in a bill
in equity filed by one of the stock
holders and the petition vas granted
and A. A. Mcleod, president of the
company, 4. p. Wiber, of the Lehigh
Valley division, and Chief Justice
Paxson OF the state supreme court
were appointed receivers in bond Of
S500,0 Judge Paxson has for
warded his resignation as chief
justice to the governor.
The bill in equity says the COM
p~lainant brings his bill in behalf Of
himself and all the holders of bonds
OF like character.
The present condition of the COM
pany is stated to be largely the result
of demands of loans, for which ample
security is pledged with the lenders,
but which the loan holders thereof
at the present time are unwilling to
renew The complainant prays the
rights of the holders OF third pre-
terence bonds be defined, the Penn
sylvania company required to insti-
tute proceedings, receivers appointed,
etc.
President Mcleod said he would
prepare a statement, but did not say
when. President Earl Of the Finance
Company of Pennsylvania and COM
mercial agent of the Reading said
the Finance Company has from
s8,0o0,c0o to $40, 900, 900 worth of
Reading coal on hand, upon which no
advance has been made. This
amount, he said, was enough to pay
The Reading floating debt twice over.
The present difficulty, he said, is due
to everybody demanding his money
at once, which was unnecessary, for
the company was able to pay its
debts.
President Mcleod Of the Reading
In an interview said he was sorry
they were driven to the necessity for
a receiyersi.ip, but it was the only
thing to do. Their credit was
attacked in a way that made it
impossible for them to meet obli-
cations and they had a receiyership
established before the property was
further injured. They were doing an
enormous business on small capital
and when the attack was made il
hurt their credit so they could not
borrow money.

Almost q Kansas war.

The real facts as to how bloodshed

was a much closer cali than most peo-
pie are aware of, as Gov. Lewelling
retraced his signature to the peace

after he had signed them.
Upon hearing Of his intentions, Mr..
Cubbison, of Wyandotte, went to him
and said: Governor, do / under
stand that you wish to take your
name from this paper?"
The governor answered that he had
signed it under duress and under mis-
taken ideas. Doster is said to have
been with him and told him that the
populists would never forgive hin
and possibly he would not escape ser
ious trouble, so he decided to with
draw from the agreement.

Saying Good Night.

There is a tender sweetness about
some of u common phrases of
affectioDate greeting, simple and
unobtrustive as they are, which falls
like dew upon the heart, says Harper's
Bazaar. Good night! The little one
lisps it as, gowned in white, with
shining face and hands, and prayers
said, she toddies off to bed. Sisters
and brothers exchange the wish;
parents and children; friends and
~s,lvIas, Familiar use has robbed ii
of its Significance to some OF us; we
repeat it automatically without
much thought. But consider. We
are, as voyagers, putting off from time
TO time upon an unexplored sea. Our
baTques of life set sail and 90 upward
into the darkness: and we asleep
upon our pillows, take no such care
as we do when awake and journeyipg
by daylight. OF the perils of the
night, whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance
watches over US, but it is the
vigilance of n stronger and wiser
than We, who is the Eternal Good.
Good and God spring from the same
root, are the same in meaning.
"Good-by" is only "God be with you.n
Good night" is really Goodnight
or God guard the night"
1t would be a churlish household in
which these gentle forms of speech
ignored or did not exist. Alike
the happy and the sorrowful, day by
day, may say Good nipht.D
