The Lake Charles Excursion.
To say that the excursion last
Sunday was crowded is putting it
mildly, fully two-thirds of the excur-
sionists being compelled to remain
standing. Seeing that it was impos-
sible to get seat many people got
off the train at this station and a
number went as far as Jennings, but
refused to 60 any furth<rand returned
to their homes On the regular pas
senger. There were so many peo-
pie on board that the conductor
failed to collect fare from quite q
Of them, but enough was COL
lected to make the excursion a very
profitable ente. prise for the Hook
and Ladder company of Franklin,
under whose auspices it was given.
In one of the coaches there was not
a particle of light during the trip
back. Upon being informed
of this the conductor replied that
the lamps would not stay lit as long
as the doors were left open. Be it
as it may, it is certainly very incon-
venient and disagreeable for people
to ride 80 or 90 miles standing in
a car as dark as the internal regions.

! CHARLES o. Mouton has been ap:
pointed postmaster for this town.
No appointment could have been
better. The appointee is business
man of ability and is in every res
pect peculiarly fitted for the position.
He is a staunch and consistent
Democrat and from \ party stand
point it is indeed a happy choice,
and one that meets with the ap-
prevail of people representing all
branches Of trade
The outgoing post-master, Mr..
Paul Demanade, who has so faith
fully looked after the interests of
Uncle Sam, during the last four
years, leaves the office with the
pleasing satisfaction Of knowing that
he has done his duty we'll, possessing
in an eminent degree, the confidence
and esteem of the people with whom
he came in contact while in the per-
Torrance of his official duties. 1t
may be truly said that no post-mAs-
ter has ever been more punctual and
painstaking than Mr.. DenhAnade
To Mr.. Simpson, the experienced
and able assistant postmaster, isl
also due much credit for the syste~
matte and satisfactory manner in
which the Office has been conducted
under its present management.

SENATE GETS TO WORK.
Number Of Bills Introduced in
Opening Session.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. - Sixtv-six
members were in their seats when the
vice president called the senate to Or
der. After the opening prayer by
Chaplain Milburn the usual committees
to wait on the president and house
were appointed, and recess taken till
1890.
At 1890 the senate took further re-
cess until l:30. Most of the Weil-knoWn
figures Of the senate were in their ac-
cuStomed places. Mr.. Morrill,, of Yer
mont. the Octogenarian of the BODY.
moved about with a step giving
little evidence of his advanced
years. The tall, gaunt form of
Sherman moved about the senate, much
of the time being on the Democratic
side. Mr.. German passed among his
associates. giving greetings with that
Suavity which is such marked charac-
teristic with him. Mr.. PETER sat in the
rear seat, absorbed In a newspaper.
MesSrS. Jones. OF Arkansas, and Harris,
of Tennessee, who had borne the brunt
OF the tariff work last fall, conferred to-
gether. Senator Voorhees, and Senator
Vest, the two other conspicuous figures
of the last tariff battle, had their heads
together during the recess. The gal
leries looked in vain for Mr.. Hill, of
New York, who was still absent iD
Florida On the Republican side MIR.
Wolcott, of Colorado, who has been so
prominently identified in the fight for
silver, conferred with Mr.. Cameron, of
Pennsylvania.
Messrs. Aldrjch and Allison, the re-
spective tariff and appropriation author
tiles on the Republican side, had a half
hours conference during the second re-
cess, being joined by Messrs. Teller and
CullOm. These and the other informal
gatherings of senatorial groups were
merely for the exchange of personal
and political views. although the pros
pects for the Coming session were pretty
fully discussed
On The reasSembling of the senate at
1:30, Messrs. Harris and MandersOn re-
ported that the president would com

secretaries.

SENATE GETS TO WORK.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 3.-The opening
of the second session of the Fifty-third
congress, after recess of three months,
made the big white marble capitol build
ing the center of interest today Early
IN the day tue corridors began to fill
with the crowd which is always attract
ed by the assembling of congress. There
was added interest, owing to the pOliti-
cal revolution which had recently Oc-
Cured, but it was not struggling mass
of humanity, Such as sometimes marked
the great events of congress. The pres
ident's message was to be presented in
both houses, and this meant that there
could be no sharp debates. as the read
ing clerks would have the floor for two
hours or more during the reading Of the
message. The crowd seemed to be drawn
mainly to the house end of the capitol,
as it was here that the recent political
storm had made its marks apparent.
The galleries were we'll filled, though
not overcrOwded, and the spectators
showed all eager interest in the arrival
of each conspicuous figure on the floor.
Congressional veterans, who had spent
a good share of their lives in the house
of representatives, came into it for their
final session. the recent tidal wave
having retired most Of the leaders
of the majority; but there were
few discOnSOlate faces among the
defeated, and they joined with
the members of the minority in good
natured rallies across the middle aisle,
which is the political dead-line. Repre-
sentative Holman, Of Indiana, was one
of the first TO appear. He was greeted
warmly by mis- old friends, and then
went to his seat and busted himself
with the business of the day. Occa-
sionally there was round OF applause
as some leader Of note made his appear
ance. The best known ones-Reed.
Wilson, Bland and Burrows-were not
among the early arrivals, and the gal
leries were eXpectant until those
party favOrites put in an appearance.
At the senate there was another
crowd which filed the galleries without
crOwding. A new rule had been put
into operation, limiting the reserve gall
leries to the use of those personally in
ClOuuCSu Ny ScHdtOIo, luSItdu Ol IUOS0
holding tickets Of admission. The sem
atorS were late in arriving, and some of
those who had been most conspicuous
in recent public events, notably Sena-
tor Hill, of New York. were absent.
The usual dignity and decorum which
mark all senate proceedings kept the
galleries from showing their manifeSta-
tions Of approval which marked the
opening Of the houses session.

ton in California Trials.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-A sensa-
ton was created here this morning in
the United States court, in which Main
and Cassidy, Il. L. .. men. are on trial
for conspiracy. Attorney Monteith,
their attorney, formally moved to have
United District Attorney Carter and
his assistant. District Attorney Samuel
Knight, relieved from their positions as
prosecutors in the case on the ground
OF bias and undue friendllness for the
Southern Pacific railroad. Two of the
defendants were introduced. 1t was
charged that through all the recent
strike troubles the district attorney and
his assistants cOnspired with the South
ern Pacific officials, or that they took
such unwarranted action on behalf of
the railroads interests and became
so biased that the conviction
OF the men now on trial is essential tC
the vlndlcation of the district ATTORNEYS.
1t was further charged that the district
attorney and his assistant have a per.
sonal interest in SuppresSing evidence
on behalf of the accused man. and that
when the matter was under investiga-
ton before the United States grand
jury the district attorneys influence
was wrOngfully used to prevent the
grand jury from hearing material evil
dence on behalf Of the strikers. 1t was
also charged that District Attorney
Carter owes his appointment to the late
Senator Stanford and railroad intlu-
ence, and that through all of the
trouble he was active i'll their behalf,
The motion TO remove District Attorney
Carter aud bis assistant and TO substi-
tute special counsel for the prosecution
was denied by Judge Morrow. ana the
trial was ordered to proceed.

FERGUS FALLS, Minn.. Dec. g.
There is considerable speculation in the
Seventh congressional district regard
Ing Washburn's successor. Very few
people here desire his reelection to the
senate. Farmer Bickford will surely
support him, but the other two Repub-
llcan delegates from this county will
wait for developments. The two Pop
ullsts from Otter Tail are certainly anti
Washburn. Wilkin, Clay and Becker
counties combined send three delegates
all Republicans. but all favoring S.
q. C0mStock, of MOorhead. FOss and
FinneY, from Clay county. were elected
on Washburn platform, but will sups
port ComSt0ck. Polk county delegates
are strongly opposed to Washburn. as
are also Pope and Swift counties. The
feeling prevails through the eutire dis.
trict that WashDurn has no waik-away,
with great chances for his defeat. Com
stock appears to be the most available
man, and, with the feeling that SEN
ator should be elected outside of the
Twin Cities, will get the entire support
of this upper country.

official orders require that the returned

The agency has addressed circulars to
patentees throughout the country, rep

Official Gazette of the United States
patent office gives the agency all the
information about inventions that is

The agency, according to postal Of

are SIS for provisional protection for
nine months and $42 for four years.
while the only compensation asked by
the concern after the money for either
right had been forwarded is the sole
right of sale of the invention, when
patented, for three months.
Many people in this country have
made complaint that they have not
heard from the agency since making
