AS Long as You Live

You will regret it, if you fail to
see the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Every one who has visited it says it
is the grandest and most beautiful
display of the products of science,
art, and industry that mankind has
ever seen, and beside it all previous
worlds fairs" sink into ihsignifi-
eance. It represents an expenditure
Of two hundred millions of dollars,
and we shall not look upon it's like
again in this generation. Only
three short weeks remain in which
you will have the opportunity to visit
it. To see, even for week, this
Worlds Fair, is to supplement your
education, no matter how good it
may have been, with invaluable
information. Rates of fare are
very low, and you can live in
Chicago as cheaply as anywhere in
America. You cannot afford to miss
the Fair, Get ready to go soon, and
then ask your home ticket agent for
tickets reading via 1.-THE Burling-
ton" the great scenic, vestibuled,
compartment car, free reclining
chair car, and dining car line. OF

WHEAT PRICE TOO Low.

Governor Nelson of Minnesota Says
Bears Are Keeping 1t Down.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Knute Nelson.
Governor of Minnesota, is resting at
the Sherman House after the fatigue
and xcitement of Minnesota day at the
fair. Talking about the products of his
state, he said:
1.-The bears are keeping down the
price of wheat though there is not the
slightest reason for such course of &C.
ton, taking into account the shortage
of the crop. # spring wheat was sold
on the basis of the actual visible supply
prices today would be far higher than
they are. There is not anything like
an average crop-less than half would
say. This sort of thing has it's effect in
Minnesota, and great many farmers
have ceased growing wheat. In the
southern part of the state the land is
almost entirely given over to grazing
for dairy purposes. Ali last season
Minnesota butter SOLD in New York
city from rs to 10 cents . pound, fully
up to the best prices brought by the
best output of the Elgin creameries.
Hard times have been less felt by these
people than by the wheat growers and
I expect to see the acreage Of wheat
still further diminished IN the future"

STEVENS INTERVIEWED.

The Ex-Minister to Hawaii Accuses secre-

ing and the Dead.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. ia Kenebec
journal reporter saw Hon. John L.
Stevens, late United States minister to
the Hawaiian islands. last evening and
showed him the press dispatch an
nouncing the report of Secretary
Gresham to the president upon the af-
fairs connected with the Hawaiian
revolution. Mr.. Stevens read it care
fully and said:
THE position to which Secretary
Gresham has seen fit to commit him
self is so extraordinary, so void of a
real foundation of truth, so caluminous
of the living and the dead, that have
no extended reply to make at this
time. l prefer to let the time and
events and history decide as to the is
sue the secretary has raised against
the provisional government and the
aspersions he sees fit to cast upon the
deceased captain of the Boston, the
officers under his command and myself.
The way the United States minister
and the officers of the Boston dis
charged their responsibilities at Homo
lulu in January, was more than COW
cred by Secretary Bayard's instruc-
tions approved by President Cleveland
on July ~, 1887. Secretary Gresham
has allowed his party prejudices and
animosities to raise an issue which

AN OPEN SWITCH

Responsible for a Bad Wreck at Fort
Wayne, Ind.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Nov. 11.-There
was a narrow escape from another
railway horror here. Passenger train
No. 5, west-bound limited express on
the Pennsylvania railroad, ran into an
open switch in the yards east of this
city, at a. M, while running at the
rate of forty miles an hour. The
switch had been left open by
mistake of Switchman Redding
The engine plowed through box
car on the side-track. and the
tender was telescoped into combination
baggage and smoker, which was fortu-
nately empty. No passengers were in
jured, the brakes acting automatically
to stop the train before the passenger
coaches left the track. Engineer David
Raidy jumped from the cab and struck
on his head, receiving severe scalp
wounds and injuries to his back. Rob-
ert Griffin, fireman, was buried under
the coal in the tender and badly hurt,
though not fatally. Track Supervisor
Craig, who was on the locomotive, was
hurled through the cab window, but
received no injury beyond slight cut
under the eve.

Too Many Girls Fail to Practice Self-Denial
| Necessity for Economy.
The girl who is earning her money
| by working says, with sigh, when she
buys a hat that is too extravaganza, or
| a box of sweets that she doesn't need:
| ''Well, l worked hard for this money;
I may spend it as please" That sounds
reasonable, but she ought to want to
spend it in the right way. She ought
to think of the days when possibly sick
ness will come-then does she want to
feel that she hasn't dollar in the
fworld, and that she is being taken care
of by people on whom she has no claim?
Or there will come a day when every
body else is going for an outing; will
she have to decline because she hasn't
saved any money? I know she has
earned it; / know the fine hat or the
fine gown may be very tempting, but
the mere fact that she has given her
life-so many hours of it-her strength
and her nervous force to get this money
should make her cautious in taking
care of it.
''Sha1l I be mean?" asks sensitive
girl. No, my dear; but tell you it is
just as we'll to remember the old prov
erb about being just before you are
generous. There is no generosity in
contributing to floral piece for dead
comrade and owing a bill to your wash
woman; there is no generosity in treat
ing all the girls you know to ice cream
and having to catch cold because you
haven't a thick flannel petticoat on,
the reason being you have no money to
buy one. The girl who is talked of as
generous with money is, am sorry to
say, too often very foolish with it. She
is ready, when she has it, to lend to
whoever asks her, to give to whatever
is going on, and when it is gone she
either suffers from its loss in mortifica-
ton and tears or else she herself be-

the chartered company. The columns
which took the town were commanded
by DIR. jameson and Maj. Forbes
They had several skirmishes with the
Matabeles before the critical battle.
When about ten miles from Buluwayo,
on November /, they were harrassed
constantly by Lobengula's army. Sew
era1 attempts were made to surround
the columns. At noon DIR. Jameson
and Maj. Forbes decided to give battle.
One Thousand Dead and Wounded.
The Mata beles, 1000 strong, accepted
the challenge. They attacked fu-
riously, but were held at safe distance
by the Maxim guns. The fight lasted
an hour, during which the Matabeles
kept up steady but ineffective rifle
fire. They fled in disorder. Mounted
men were sent in pursuit, but were
soon recalled, as they were unable to
do much execution. The Matabeles
left 1000 dead and wounded on the
field. The forces of the chartered
company lost three killed and seven
wounded. all by rifle shots.

Buluwayo had been abandoned a
week before. Lobengula had set fire to
the huts and exploded the magazine,
which contained $4,000 cartridges and
$500 pounds of powder. They had
been disheartened by their defeat at
Indus mountain, but the men insisted
upon another encounter.
An Ultimatum.
CAPE Town, Nov. 1O.-A dispatch
from Fort Victoria says that DIR. Jane

tum guaranteeing him safe conduct
and good treatment if he will surren-

life and destruction of the kraals. If
Lobengula declines to surrender, says
the ultimatum, troops will be sent to

have had very serious consequences had

A WOMAN'S DESPAIR.

Mrs. Belle C1optOn Wife of q Prominent
St. Louis Attorney, Commits Suicide by
Cutting Her Throat and Hanging, Be
ing Goaded to the Deed by the Despair
ing Belief That She Had "Refused the
Blessing of Heaven"
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1O.-Goaded on by
the despairing belief that she had lost
salvation, Mrs. Belle Clopton, wife of
Attorney w. H. Clopton, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon by cutting
her throat from ear to ear and hang
ing herself. The deplorable tragedy
occurred some time between 1880 and
2:3O p. m.-probably nearer the ear
lier hour-and was enacted at
the beautiful home OF the unfortunate
lady, No. 2746 Lafayette avenue. The
deed was the belief that she had ire
fused the blessing of Heaven" and
could not be saved. She has
been in terribly overweight
state of mind with the hallu-
cination for about a month, has often
talked despondingly of it to her near
est friends, but has never so much as
limited that she intended to take her
life. Her self-destruction, therefore,
came like thunderbolt of horror upon
those who loved her.
The news was crushing blow to
MIR. Clopton. He was in the court OF
appeals arguing an important case be-
fore that tribunal when a messenger
boy slipped in and handed him a note,
telling him that Mrs. Clopton was
dead. He looked at the message,
turned deadly pale, staggered a
few steps and fell in chair.
By this time the judges,
attorneys and others in the court re-
allied that some dreadful tidings had
been impaired to him in the note.
The proceedings were stopped in an in
slant, and when the news was made
known the case was laid over forth
with.
Trembling with amazement and
grief unspeakable, Mr.. Clopton left the
court room and went direct to the side
of his deceased wife. The scene in
the court room was affecting, but
the scene at the house was in
describable When he arrived the
children were all home sobbing aloud
and he, strong man that he is was ut
terly unable to restrain his grief.
Friends who hurried to the residence
to console him were themselves moved
by his violent emotions.
