Bird Slaughter in Florida.

The rush of tourists to Florida in
creases every winter, and so much
shooting (every man nearly takes his
gun) is rapidly diminishing the game
all through the country.
The time was, and only a few years
ago, when every bay and lagoon was
teeming with birds, but when the
fashion demanded that every woman's
bonnet should be decorated with some
kind of bird or its feathers, men
were sent to Florida to procure them,
and one expedition returned, it is said,
with one hundred thousand bird skins,
shot during one winter. Such destruc'
ton is now felt, and although the au-
thorities have now prohibited the
slaughter, it is like locking the stable
after the horse is stolen.
On the eApalachicola River wild tur-
KEYS and ducks are shot wantonly
from the decks of steamboats,, and
alligators all along the banks come in
for fuscilade from the rifles OF the
passengers. On my recent trip on
this river I saw numbers of turkeys
shot as they were running along the
banks; that were, Of course, wasted,
as the boat could not stop to pick them
them up, and every flock of ducks that
rose were fired into, killing or MAIN.
ing more or less of them. Not only
on the ground of wanton cruelty should
the owners of these boats prohibit the
use of firearms, but it is a great an.
noyance to many passengers TO have
rifles and shotgans banging away
around them, to say nothing of the
danger to life from careless use oi
guns by mere boys as some of them
were.

A short Sermon.

Children who read my lay,
This muchI have to say:
Each day, and every day
Do what Is right!
Right things In great and small;
Then, though the sky should fall,
Sun. MOON and stars, and all,
You shall have light.
This further would say:
Be YOU tempted as you may,
Each day, and every day,
Speak what is true!
True things in great and small;
Then, though the stars should fall,
Sun, moon, and stars, and all,
Heaven would show through.
Figs as you see and know,
Do not Of thistles grow;
And though the blossoms blow
White on the tree,
Grapes never, never yet
On the limbs Of thorns were set;
So, If you good would get,
Good you must be.
Life's tourney through and through,
Speaking what is just and true,
Doing what is right to do
Unto one and all,
When you work and when you play,
Each day, and every day;
Then peace shall gild your way,
Though the sky should fall.

little harmony in the household for five
years past, during which time the wife
has had the husband arrested four times
for assault and battery, and libel for

her before this last recent trouble. The

Japan being very mild even in winter.
The Chinese look upon this as one of
their defenses, and the japanese fully
appreciate that it compels them to con-
centrate their campaign for this year into
the next few weeks and, if possible, days.
For that reason they are prepared to make
heroic efforts to decide the contest at once.
They are without the heavy clothing,

Mckinley Replies to the Charge

That London Speech Was Ample
for His Purpose Just as 1t
Was Delivered.

DULUTH. Mimi, Oct. 8.-Governor Nc
Kinley was escorted from St. Paul to
Duluth by Colonel Bixby, chairman, and
Harry Richardson, secretary Of the Re-
publican State Committee. and Mayor
Lewis of Duluth. On arriving he was
taken to breakfast and afterward ad-
dressed the pupils of the high school. A
public reception was held at the hotel
from IL o'clock to lunch time, and at 1890
the Governor was escorted to the place of
speaking by number of G. A. R. veterans.
Mayor Lewis presided at the meeting, and
before presenting Governor Mckinley,
introduced Charles A. Towne. Republican
candidate for Congress, who spoke briefly.
The rising Of Mckinley TO speak was
the signal for a storm OF applause, which
continued several minutes Mckinley re-
cited the effects of the new tariff law on
Minnesota lum mbermen as compared with
those under the law Of $780, While the
latter was in effect common laborers in
lumber camps were paid from $23 to $40 a
mouth now they were glad to do the same
work for from $12 to Sic. Horse teamsters
and eanthook men got from $40 to $40 a
month. while now the men were paid $40 a
month. The best teamsters and canthook
men got from $40 to $45 month, while
now the N ost paid was $26 month. That
was the result Of free trade in lumber
under which Canadian competition was
invited.
From here Governor Mckinley went to
West Superior, where he had another
large audience. During the course of his
address he made reply to Mr.. Wilson's
charge ;hat he had garbled Mr. Wilson's
London speech, denying that he had

Northern Pacific Receivers in a

Revival of an Old Story About Some

with arguments for the application. Mr..
Newell. for the receivers, said the receivers
had liabilities aggregating Sc, 900 to
meet within few months, and the assets
available did not exceed $4,000, 900. Al
least S1.640,000 due now must be paid.
The honor of the court which is in control

attorney said that while the receivers had
petitioned for S5.00O.000, they could. if
necessary, get along with less, but they
must have at least 81, 800. 600 to meet press
ing debts and carry on the business of the
road. He said the receivers would be
willing to have the order for the certifi-
Gates drawn in such way as to meet the
objections of the bondbolders.
Mr.. Petit followed with an argument in
opposition to the certificates. In referring

The argument was concluded in the
afternoon and the court decided in favor
of the receivers. Judge Jenkins granted
the application for leave to issue certi6-
Gates to the amount of $5.OOo,00 and
ordered the receivers to report to the
court on October % the bids which shall
have been received for them and the rate
of interest offered.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A report was in
circulation in Wall street this afternoon
that the reorganization committee of the
Chicago and Northern Pacific had re-
ported that S2.500,000 OF the company's
bonds had disappeared. 1t is believed this
is another story revived. The facts are
that the bonds alluded to are those taken
into consideration of the settlement of the
accounts of the Chicago and Northern Pa
cific and the Northern Pacific road. The
bonds are held as collateral, and both re-
organization committees knew who held
them. The litigation In regard to the
bonds is still in progress, and is to a cer-
tain extenta factor in delaying the reor-
ganiZation Of both roads.

TAMMANY FOR HILL.
The Main Thing Is the Success of the
State Ticket

New YORK, Oct. S.-There was a con-
ference of the Tammany chieftains in the
Fourteenth-stree Wigwam to-day. At its
conclusion Mayor Gilroy said:
1.-The sentiment of those present at the
meeting was that the paramount thing was
to achieve the success of the State ticket"
The State Committee is tonight sending
out letter written by ex-Secretary Whit
ney, dated at Roslin, l.. L. The letter Is
addressed to Mr.. Hinckley. the State chair
man. Mr.. Whitney explains why he did
not accept either the chairmapship or
me IN bership of the State committee, stat
ing it was not from any indisposition to
assist in the campaign, but from reasons
purely private. He thought that never be-
fore in the history of the party had there
ever been time when Democrats should
sink party differences and stand together
for the common good like the present oc-
casion. 1t was time. he thought. for an
attack upon the common enemy. New
York State he believed to be the pivotal
State, and defeat here would mean dis
couragement for Democrats and encour-
agement for Republicans throughout the
entire country.

UNACCOUNTABLE GOOD LUCK.
All That Saved a Limited Train on
the 500 Line.

RHINELANDER, Wis, Oct. S.-Nothing
but unaccountable good luck prevented
the worst passenger wreck of the year on
he $500" Line last night. The Boston,
Minneapolis limited, which leaves here at
1 40 o'clock. went through a trestle be-
tween Heafford Junction and Bradley.
The stringers and piles had been sawed
after ths eastbound limited passed the
place an hour before. The rails were left
with no support and the engine crashed
through. The train was going thirty.five
miles an hour, and instead of dropping
into the opening the engine struck the
solid track beyond and turned over down
the embankment. Engineer James Dutch
of MINNEAPOLIS was thrown twenty feet
ahead. He sustained broken leg, bad
cuts on the head and badly bruised body,
He will recover. He was taken home.
Charles Coterill, the fireman. was pinned
under the heavy engine, which was terri
bly, smashed. UD to noon to-day they
were still working to release his body. He
was instantly killed. He leaves a wife
and two children at Minneapolis.

FORBIDDEN TERRITORY INVADED
1t Is Charged That This Was
Neces sary to Secure Even
Common Fairness.

CHICAGO. Oct. Sat to-day's meeting
of the advisory committee of the Emigrant
Clearing g-house of the Western Passenger
Association formal protest was sent to
the Trunk Line Association declaring that
the distribution of the emigrant business
was made matter of agreement between
the two associations, and that the action
OF the trunk lines in canceling the agree
ment without conference, and apparently
without cause. has caused much surprise
to the western lines. 1t is asked that all
action in the matter be suspended imme-
diately. aud until conference of the two
associations can be held in New York.
The western lines say that if such confer
ence is to be held they would prefer that it
should be on either the 18th or 18th. The
protest winds up with the declaration that
it is the belief of the western lines that the
trunk lines are not willing to push matters
so far that the western lines will be forced
to take Independent action. which simply
means that il the trunk lines persist in
their present course the western lines will
find il necessary to establish ticket Offices
OF their own throughout the East to look
after their interests.
The trunk lines have made demand on
the Western Passenger Association lines
that they at once withdraw all their offices
from trunk line territory. They declare
that the invasion of the eastern territory
by the western lines is without reason or
excuse and is resulting in much loss of
revenue to trunk lines. There is much
doubt as to whether the association will
pay any attention to the demand for the
reason that the matter is one that is hardly
in the jurisdiction Of the association agree
ment and all the lines are free to act as
they see fit in this matter. The first put
all their offices in the territory of the east
ern lines because they thought they were
not treated with entire justice in tie mat
ter Of returning through business and SO
took this remedy into their own hands.
The association as an association will very
probably take no action of any kind in the
matter. All 10 all there seems be an ex-
cellent chance for some warm times be-
tween the Western Passenger Association
and the trunk lines before things are ad-
iusted.
