The irony evolved by the whirligig of time
was plainly visible the other day when four
hundred Alabama negroes came into Weir
City, Kansas, armed with Winchester rifles,
to take the place of the striking miners who
had quit work there on account of a proposed
reduction in their wages. Kansas was the
chosen battlefield for the rights Of the down
trodden African. and now he goes there arm
ed to the teeth to bring restitution and dis
tress into the homes of his benefactors and to
ruin them by cheap labor. Verify, gratitude
does not outliye a generation Of member

THE LITTLE Things THE MOST VALU-
ABLE.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody mas
been struck, at ono time or another, with
IDEAS that seemed calculated to reduce some
of the little ~frictions of life. Usually such
IDEAS are dismissed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make Its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
hacks - exclaims the traveller. If were
running the road would make them i'll such
a way"
What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking of?" grumbles the cook. He
| never had to work over a stove, or he would
| have known how it ought to have been
fixed" ;,
"Hang such Il collar button!' growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lf were III
| the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break of, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
| their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans,, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

A OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their
BRIGHT ideas and see what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer q prize.
To the person who submits to it the
simplest and most promising inven-
ton, from a commercial point of view,
the company will give twenty-five
hundred dollars in cash, in addition to
refunding the fees for securing the
patent.
It will also advertise the invention
free of charge. E.
This offer is subject to the following condl
tions:
Every competitor must obtain q patent for
his invention through the company. lie must
first apply for preliminary search, the cost OF
which will be five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense. Other
wise he will be expected to complete his APP
plication and take out a patent in the regular
way. The total expense, including Govern
ment and Bureau fees, will be seventy dol
lars. For this, whether he secures the prize
or not. the inventor will have a patent that
| ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting OF
| three reputable attorneys of Washington.
| Intending competitors should fill out the fol
lowing blank, and forward it with their appll-

Western Railroad, which is an enterprise Oh
the Southern Pacific CompanNe is making
most encouraging progress. I1hs road caves
the line of the Southern PACING railroad a1 "
point near EstherwOod station, or more accu-
rately, thirty miles west of Lafayette. SIX
teen miles of the twenty composing the
branch nave been opened up and are III q
more no less advanced stage, while about ten
miles have been graded and are ready Tor the
track layers. On this line a new grader, or
at least the first of it's kind ever used in Lou
isiana. has been performing excellent work.
1t is called the New Era Grader. 1t consists
of a frame supported upon four wheels anu
carrying a very heavy pillow. Immediately on
one side Of the plowshare, and placed in snch
a position as to catch the earth thrown up by
it, runs an endless rubber belt. The outer
end of this belt is supported by %outriggers so
as to discharge at the centre line OF the pro
posed bank. The power is supplied by twelve
heavy mules, and when the machine is driven
the belt discharges a steady stream OF earth,
while the plow leaves the beams and SIDE
bitches with perfectly true lines; Inc
| capacity of this grader is about SO0 cubic
Yards a day, which equals the work OF loo
good wheel borrow hands or twenty scrapers.
The only heavy work on this line Will be the
crossings of BayOus Plaquemlne ana Jonas,
forks Of the Mermentau. The first OF these
will require about 1000 of bridging and the
other 600 feet. -,
The country through which this road will

travelled through Louisiana could think pos,
sible. 1t consists of diversified prairie, with
hardwood forests scattered here and there
among little valleys and gently sloping hills

settler has a small patch of cane to be used
in making syrup for his own use, and these
patches of cane appear equal to the best to be
found in the rich ~alluvial bottoms OF this
State.
This beautiful country has hitherto beer
practically shut out of the markets, eNcep
by long hauls which would eat up tho prof.
on the product. The opening Of this addition
to the Southern Pacific Company's gigantic
system promises to be an important event
not only for the region itself, but for New Or
