Messrs. Taylor and johnson and myself
travelled over ioo miles in light wagon,
occupying two weeks i'll the journey,
much of the distance being over the
fertile fields of Washington, which were
suffering from drouth, with prospect
of short spring crops. We passed over

found much Of it rs good land as any in

Prof. Andrews, one of the American
members OF the Brussels conference,
has been delivering course Of lectures
on finance before the summer school at
Colorado Springs. He scouts the idea
that the Sherman law is responsible for
the hard times now pinclling the
people.
The fundamental difficulty Is the
same as that of '73. II is the shrinkage
in the bulk of the hard, fundamental
exportable money in the gold-using
world relatively to the amount Of bust
ness that this world has to do.
The speaker passed on to discuss the
business depression Of the last % years
Men failed, but could not understand
Good collateral was insufficient. Better
times were expected soon, but the ex,
cuses given were in nearly all cases
fallacious. and the bottom las not YET
been reached.
This states the case rather severely
Even without the restoration of bimet
allism there will be a rally, and better
times will be experienced it viii
only be the deceptive rally that comes
to the consnmptive. Confidence ma,
be restored for a year or two. but thu
conditions are such that the scramble
for gold may be renewed at any time
and with each recurrence must come
pinching and failures. The business OF
the world cannot he safely done upon
the single gold basis; the world has
about reached this conviction. and hav
ing come to that belief, long continued
confidence and prosperity will be out OF
the question. There will certainly be a
return to the double standard. 1t Is
only question Of how much pinching
and contraction the world will endure
before going back to the safe and tried
practices of the past-Spokane Review

rounded in at our wharf loaded down

This was her FIRST trip ard she was
one day behind tine. She was de-
tanned by the lO1:ing ice and did o
get away from st. Louis ill Saturday
1t was seven or eight
o'clock before our people learned thar
the new Cape Guardian packet was
at our wharf, but whea it became
known that she was here people from
all parts of the city began 10 appear
on the Leree and by mite o'clock
hundreds of people were gazing upon
the beautiful new steamer, shaking
hands with and coEgratulating the
officers aud crew upon their good
fortune in holding positions on q
steamer that is such n model OF beauty
She was boarded and inspected by
thousands of people here and along
the river between here and st. Louis,
and at every point the people gave
the new boat q hearty welcome.
The New Idlewild did not arrive in
St. Louis till noon last Friday, hut
during the afternoon of that day she
was visited by hundreds of steam-
boatsmen. shippers and other friends
of steamboat interests, both ladies and
gentlemen, who greatly admired the
new craft and outf;tings. Steam
boatsmcn say she is one of the hsnd-
soonest packets now afloat ON Ito
Mississippi River, and all agree that
she is just the boat for the trade for
which she was built.
The New IdIrwiId was built at
Jacksonville. Indiana, Isl side-wheel
craft, 225 fcot long, 35-fcot beam. s.
foot depth of hold, and draws Sc
inches light. She will carry 500 tons
on four feet of wafer. Her cabin is
finely appointed. being supplied with
new and fashionable furniture, rich
carpets an elegant pianno, electric
lights and other cOnvenienccs FOR the
comfort of the travelling public. Her
state rocms are large and neat and
each room is provided with an electric
iet-a new feature IN Mississippi
River steamers. She has 14-feot
guards and is consequently well
equipped for carrying stock and all
kinds of freight. The new craft was
built especially for the trade between
this city and St. Louis and she was
built, too, with a view TO speed, being
equipped with iour boilers aud pow
erful engines. Steamboat men predict
that she will, as soon as her machinery
is working soomthly, pass any boat
on the Mississippi
The New ldlewild is differed by
the popular crew that had charge of
the old boat, Capt. George Keith be-
ing in command and Robert Taylor
in the Office.
The old Idlewild built up a splendid
trade along the river between here
and st. Louis. but the New ldlcwild,
being a much finer and flectcr boat
will increase the business, aud that
business. we predict, sho will hold
against all competitors.

Uses TO Fill n Loux-feiI SEut.
We clip the following from the
Pennington Times:
mir. Lnnis IIouck, president Of the
st. Louis, Cape Girardcau 4 Fort
Smith Railway Co, WAS in Farming
ten last week in the interest Of a
railroad which he has in c%ontempla-
ton from Cape Girardrau to 81.
Louis via Perryvillc. Chester, Sc.
Geuevieve. Pennington and the Flat
River lead district. Mr.. llouck isnot
only Il pusher, but a practical and
successful railroad builder, and the
way he is going ut this enterprise
shows that he means business. The
route through which his contemplated
road is to run is one Of the best in
the State tor a railroad, and will open
up q rich and fertile section of ouu
try that has long been in need OF q
railroad connection with the great
commercial centcrS.
4 few of our citizens met Mr.
IIouck and listened 10 his plans,
which are SO feasible and practical
that they at once enlisted in the en-
terprise. There were only about a
half dozen gentlemen present at this
conference. but before it was over
about $25.OO0O was subscribed, and ii
is thought that at least $4,000 of the
stock will be taken in Pennington.
Sic. Gencvieye has already subscrih-
cd. we understand, in the ncighbor-
hood of $4,000, and Perry county
about $4,000.
The plan is this: Mr.. Houck does
not ask that a cent of the money sub
scribed be paid until the road IS COM
pleted to a junction o. the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern railway:
then the subscribers will be given
first mortgage bonds on the road TO
the amount of their subscriptions.
The work of securing the right of
way for this road is now in progress.
and it is proposed to try to secure
this right of way between Farming
ton and Chester over the old aban-
doned grade of the Chester & Iron
Mountain railroad, the right of way
10 which has lapsed TO the original
owners by reason of the dissolution
of the old Chester e Iron Mountain
Railroad Company. The document
granting the right Of way for this
new road proposed by Mr.. Ilouck
recites that said railroad shall be
constructed and ears operated by it
from Chester to a junction with the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
railway within eighteen months from
the first day of March, 1898, other
wise this grant will be and TO be
