The Gulf & Interstate railroad was
begun at Bolivar Point, near Calves
ton, last week. Col. Close and Noah
Allen, of Kansas, with many proml-
nent Texas people, were there to
make speeches and help the boom,
while the irrepressible Buffalo Jones
was there with his mules and Scraper,
and broke the first ground. The pre-
liminary arrangements of this great
enterprise are completed and the
work will be pushed with the zeal
and energy and pluck Of the western

GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE EAST.

BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt
ing any advantage calculated to i'm
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mandS. Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with yestibuled trains, mag
niflcent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and Of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They are
double duty-to the Company and to
travelers-and it is sometimes task
difficult of accomplishment. PaSSen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be
better understood if short lesson in
geography be now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini Of
the Rock Island Route?- Chicago.
What other sub-EaStern termini has
itp-Peoria. To what important points
does it run trains to the Northwest
st. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and Watertown and Sioux Falls, Da-
kota. To what important Iowa and
Nebraska pointsp-Des Moines, Daven-
port, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Ne
braSka.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood suburban
station, close to Worlds Fair grounds,
and you can save time and trouble by
getting of at that point and avoid the
crowd In the city.

employment of troops as a posse COM
iatus in the Indian territory. Agent
Wisdom's dispatch, upon which the APP

one place that they are wanted to run
down a band of robbers, and in another
that the treaties require the Indians to
be protected There is no question with
the war department. officials that the
employment under the first point would
be clearly illegal, and as to the second,
there is n evidence that the Indians
themselves have suffered or have APP

Nevertheless, to set at rest all doubts
in the matter, Acting Secretary Doe
has referred the application for troops
to the attorney general for an opinion
as to the legality of their employment
in this case.

The Nile by Night,

- suppose no professional globe trot-
ter is ever satisfied" said James T.
Hurd of New York, without a s~ojourn
in Alexandria and a voyage of four or
five weeks up the Nile. The river itself,
/ must say, did at first sadly disappoint
me. We Americans are apt to be rather
exaoting in the matter of rivers, nat
urally enough, considering the beauty
and grandeur of our own. When / saw
the strong stream in the hot sunshine,
looking like floating mud rather than
water, | hated to believe it the Nile OF
my dreams. Beauty, majesty and pow
er, not utility, We're what | wanted to
see in the historic river. But when the
sun went down and the moon gilded,
not silvered, the stream, then it became
indeed the river of my imagination.
The unsightly banks, which by day were
steep walls Of black mud, like huge un-
baked brick, became picturesque and
even beautiful, with waving groves of
palm and fields Of grain. st. Louis

PoPULIST METHODS.
Exposed BY the Republican State Com
mittee-Ir has q Local APP
plication.

The following address sent out by the
chairman Of the republican state central
committee in reply to certain false and
malicious statements circulated in re
gard to Prof. Gerhart Giertson, a repub.
lican speaker, is SO applicable to the
false and malicious stories circulated by
certain parties in this county concerning
j. FL. Williamson and j. L. Jones, that
we reproduce it as a fitting characterize
ton of such methods in politics:
| 1T had not seemed wise TO notice the
abominable methods, adopted by the
combined opposition, to defeat the re-
publicans at the coming election. In
stead Of its being defeated, it will win
by increased ipluralities. Mud singing
and chicanery belittles any party, and,
much more so, a party which makes
claim to reform, and it will increase the
republican vote. We would say nothing
now only that another than ourselves
might suffer. The Forum, some time
ago, published q letter which purported
TO be sent out by US. Such letter repre-
sents that it was designed to have q
Scandinavian preach politics on Sundays
and take up collections on that day to
defray expenses of campaigning during
the week. The alleged letter is q base
forgery and fake and was so declared in
daily press two weeks ago, and the hold
or of any such letter can get $500 for
the fusion campaign fund by producing
any such authentic. The letter is in line
of malicious attempt made to discount
the excellent work done IN the campaign
by Prof. Gerhsrt Giertson. The opposi-
ton first attempted to malign his char
acter but he was too well known among
his W people for that malicious at
tempt to succeed and then this second
plot was Matched. We characterize the
letter as follows:
list, ID is a base lie.
End, it is a malicious attack on an
honorable man
Bird, it is in keeping with ~disreputable
methods like the attack on Gov. Sheldon
and the charge that Coe /. Crawford,
candidate for attorney general, was ad-
dictei TO drinking, and that Frank
Crane, candidate for superintendent of
schools, was a drunkard. Both the lat
ter men are consistent christian gentle
men and prominent members of the
christian church.
4th, such political practices should
condemn any sparty, especially a party
claiming a purity of purpose.
9th, the course pursued shows the
desperate straights TO which the (con).
fusion Ia driven. O. s. BAsFoRD.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
1he ] reflections of q slump in Prices Not
Realized. s

Realized.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 26.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says. In raw
material the predictions of those who
began in September to prepare the
trade for a slump have not been realized
and certainly not to the extent con-
coded by the less hopeful. Bessemer
pig has held its own since the recovery
q week ago of a portion OF the ground
that had been lost and gil il the mar
ket today. In foundry iron there is a
fair demand in some selling centers,
with indications that consumption is
increasing, though slowly. The chief
southern producers are endeavoring to
hold prices in territory in which
Southern iron has no competition.
In other markets they are meeting
the low prices made by the Northern
furnaces. In Chicago, in pursuance Of
their policy. local coke furnaces are not
having the field so completely to them
selves. A sale of Southern No. Q soft
was made there at $40 recently. For
shipment East at $3.50 for furnaces.
There has been some improvement tot
the buying for billets for Eastern mills,
sellers coming to a basis of ST. 70 or
SlS delivered at Philadelphia. In most
instances Pittsturg finishing mills are
still well supplied with orders, struc-
tural contracts from the East helping
out the large producers; but evidences
appear i'm the Western market that
some sellers are crowding for bushes.
Prices in general r thus kept ON q low
level with an exception Of here and
there.
