Dakota Pumpkins in Iowa.


In Dakota the lanl that's so FERTILE
BY magic does everything grow
And so, with mimi that was doubling,
tried if the saying was so.
So tiel up all my belongings
In handkerchief red and so neat,
And quickly my sail adjusted,
To sail for tho land of the wheat.
The winters col SHOWS we're all over;
The Bgzaris had gone on their way;
While the gophers did frOIic and gambol
AGd ciny the halmy spring day
The fortune sought was before me,
Fer the ground was ready to bear;
But the seeds | wished for the planting
The question: To get them from where?
So scratched my bald head ba!lpr,
To reap from it wisdom's bright seeds;
Dnt only found could manage
TO harves. e ,od crop Of weeds
Wien at length thought of the pumpkin,
The one Sou made to a Pic
Aud ru! the seeds in for ra;sins;
Now tiIs was wisdGm's reply:
"These seeds you have saved In your pocket,
TO think of your Sou far away; I'd,
That yGI might by these seeds be remember
10 claim your own S0ue some day"
So this seemed to be my last refuge:
But 10 plant them, was TO forget Sou;
HIT will; naught but business in vision,
| thought that the venture would do.
But forget my Sau T would never,
Who on Iowa's soil did wait,
While Was way up in Dakota,
And ready, whatever my fate,
Then out of III? pocket took them
And stamped my heel in the earth,
For there to l!u:y my treasurer,
And to NY fortune give birth.
Thus I laid tn, IN down in the hollow,
Aud viewed the remains to tho last;
But my feelings at last o'.r CAME me,
Aud my tears upon them dripped fast.
So slowly GOV RID them oyer
With the loo 50 tear r0SteHcd clay;
When the vine burst fort! in iis fury,
And bore 'nc quickly away.
Il hGre il.e away With such rashness
That it paraleled lightning in speed;
And the vine rntwinel me- completely
That thought I'd never bu freed.
But soon came to my senses.
And found / was free fron a.! harm;
For quietly then I was resting
Ny head or Susic's right arm.
The vina was stopp,.! with tho clothes llno
That Susie OIL Monday kept flied;

And wondered to where was hi'!sd.
The person was cal!oi on the morrow,
So Susie and | were made one;

Western Union Telegraph Company
and its employees. is imminent, w. b.
Sommerville, of the Western Union,
in an interview today said:
II understand that some operators
were dismissed at Philadelphia, and no
doubt for good cause. We reserve to
ourselves the right to manage the COM
pany's, affairs in our own way, and
without either dictation or intimida-
ton from the representatives Of any as
sqciation. On March 7th, a circular
was delivered at the office of the West
ern Union in Chicago, with the threat
that II would be issued at s O'Clock that
day If certain operators, members of
the order, were discharged from the
Western Union service at Pittsburg
The circular was signed by John Cuth-
bertson, supreme chancellor, and 0s-
car M. Gibbs. supreme secretary and
treasurer, and ordered that the MEM
bers(Df each local lodge should, upon
receipt, appoint a committee to thor
oughly canvass its territory, visiting ali
the leading firms doing business with
the Western Union. and requesting
them to give their business to the Post
al Telegraph Company. on the claim
that that company was not antagonis-
tic to the order. An inquiry was made
and 1t was reported that there had been
no dismissals from our service a.
charged In the circular. On March II
the following letter was received, to
which, of course. no reply was made:
To Thomas T. Eckert. President and
General Manager of the Western
Union Telegraph Company
Notwithstanding your assurance
that the six men were discharged on
account of our order, we have no de
sire to retaliate, but II these men are
not Immediately reinstated. and this in
justice remedled at all points, | shall
give orders to carry out my instruc-
tions in the circular presented to you
and will expect a reply by o'clock to-
morrow. JOHN CUTHBERTSON,

Washington, March 23.-The scram-
BILE for office continues and the number
of callers on the president today
showed no falling off as compared with
the previous days. To the gentlemen
who saw him with reference to the ap-
pointment of two former Office holders
who We're indorsed almost unanimously
by the congressional delegation and by
a large number of prominent people,
Cleveland intimated that, If he made
the appointments desired, he would do
so with the understanding that the peo-
pie of the community would assume all
responsibility for his actions.
Secretary Carlisle evidently intends
to support the presidents civil service
policy as strongly as possible. Carlisle
said today that no pressure could be
brought to bear on him which would
induce him to abolish good rule, even
If 1t had been made under a republican
administration.
All the delegates to the recent in
ternational monetary conference have
resigned. Among members of congress
it is believed that the president will
send commission to Brussels to repre-
sent this country when the conference
reassembles. The secretary of state is
now ,endeavoring to ascertain how
many countries will be represented at
the Resembling of the conference.
Some officials hold to the opinion that
the president will not send another del
egation to Brussels, but that he will
designate our minister at Belgium to
attend the conference as the represen-
tative of the United States
Professor Dodge said today that the
statements that had been made relat-
ing to his official retirement as statis-
tician of the department of agriculture,
were unjust alike to himself and to
Secretary Morton. He says it has been
we'll known to his friends for long
time that he intended to retire as early
as practicable, in order to enable him
to carry out plans for more agreeable
work in the line of agriculture.
Secretary Carlisle, it is stated on
good authority, intends to give much
of his time this summer to the consid-
Grafton of the tariff, with a view Of so
thoroughly familiarizing himself with
the subject as to indicate in a general
way the outlines for the formation Of
tariff bill by the next democratic
house. Nearly every mail that reaches
the treasury department contains sug-
gestions from statisticians and others
as to the compilation of the tariff bill

steamer Pomeranian, which left this
port March 18th, for Glasgow, Is dis
abled at sea. The news was brought by
the Red Star steamer Pelgeland from

the Pomeranian displaying signals Of
distress, and asked to be towed. Cap
tain Ehoff says his reason for not tow
ing the disabled vessel was that the
rules of his company forbid it. His
statement is ridiculed in shipping cir
cles and his action characterized as
cowardly in the extreme. The POM
eranian carried no passengers this trip.
The crew number seventy-flve.

tion is received from Halifax this af-
ternoon that the Pomeranian has ar
rived there. All well on board.

New York, March 2S.-President Gun
ton. of the Sshool Of Social Economies,
lectured last night on the Ann Arbor
railroad strike, and the order Of Judge
Kicks to Chief Arthur to recall the
boycott and strike. Professor Gunton
regards the order Of Judge Kicks as
an act Of socialism, and the logical Sc
quence to the interstate commerce law
is a piece Of paternal legislation, which
handed over the railroads to the gov
ernment. 1t now appears that It also
handed over the laborers as well, and
the railroad employee now practically
worked for. the government.

TERRIBLE TORTURE.
Horrible Treatment Administered
to Immigrants.

W
New YORK, July 15.-The immigrants
from the English steamship Red Sea,
which arrived from Bremen Thursday
night, and have since been detained on
board, were landed at Ellis Island today.
The agents of big steamship CON-
panies here denounce the bring
ing in of immigrants under such con-
ditions as those OH the steamer Red Sea,
insisting that the forwarding of emf
grants On steamship previously used
for cargo only should not be permitted
by law. Twelve fevus cases were
found among the immigrants. and there
were several contract laborers on the
list.
immigration Commissioner Senner
has taken the affldavits of number of
passengers who allege numerous in
stances of cruelty and starvation during
the sixteen days spent on board the
vessel. Six witnesses have come for
ward to swear that a Pole had an eve
gouged out by one of the ships crew for
trying to secure food.
Another report laid before DIR. Senner
was to the effect that passenger was
strung up by the hands TO a cross beam
and kept suspended there for Directing
to the rations and asking for more
bread.
Capt. Dustin, of the Red Sea, in a
sworn statement, denied the charges of
starvation and lll-treatment. He claims
the emigrants were plentifully supplied
with food and water, of which there was
on board an abundance of both.
The ship itself. as it lies off Liberty
Island. is filthy from top to bottom. DIR.
Senner will investigate the matter thor
oughiy.
