An Editors Lament.

This Is the way the Fairfax Forum
bewails the lack of news:
News, news, news! It's enough to
give fellow the blues. Nobody
married and nobody dead, nobody
broke an arm or a head. Nobody
come in to talk of the @crap," no one
got booty and started scrap; nobody
run in for taking a horn, nobody
buried and nobody born. Oh! for a
racket, a riot, a fuss; some one to
come in and kick up a muss. Some
thing to stir up the peace laden air,
somebody's comet to give us a scare.
Somebody thumped in an inch of his
life, somebody run off with another
mans wife. Somebody's baby got
choked on pin; somebody's darling
that ate I've again; some one to come
in and pay up his dues, anything,
anything, just SO it's news.

Strike Investigation.

CHICAGO, Aug. N.-The strike com
mlssioners devoted large portion of
the session to-day to the examination
OF Manager E. F. Bryant of the bank
at Pullman. He was particular to
state that he was not an employee Of
the Pullman Company, as the bank
was owned by the Pullman Southern
Car Company; but later he admitted
that the latter company is controlled
by the Palace Car Company.
Bryant said the capital stock of the
bank was 100000, and in July, 1893,
the deposits amounted to about $685.
9OO; 2,425 of the depositors were Pull
man employees, their accounts averag-
ing S24O. In July, 1894, the deposits
amounted to $453,0OO, with only 1,4l4
employees accounts, which averaged
$40 each. Witness said the Pullman
workmen were paid in checks. Each
month they were given two checks,
one representing the amount of rent
due and the other the balance of their
wages.

evidence that these elemeHts will come

raken TO the Asylum.

Sheriff Ward and Deputy PhIrmau re-
turned Saturday night from taking Hans
Nielsen. the insane man, to the asylum.
They apprehended trouble, but he went
perfectly peaceable. Mr., Phirman got into
his confidence, and pretended that they
were going to Denmark to buy farm. THIS
pleased Nielsen very much, and Phirman
impressed upon him the necessity Of keep
ing quiet, and not allowing any person to
know their object. This appeared to in
crease bis confdence-in the deputy. sheriff,
and he did not make the least effort to es-
cape. When being driven from the depot
in Salem to the asylum he inquired where
they were going. and Phirmau told him to
the hotel. At this he seemed satisfed, and
when he was turned over to his keeper,
Phirman told him that the man would show
him to the dining room, and he made no re.
sistance.
