The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1894-05-05

The thinking mind must see that
the era Of private ownership Of rail-
roads is short. Every day is as a
year and each year decade in the
progress of sentiment in that direction.
"Coming events cast their shadows
BEFORE" and in the A. R. U. mighty
as it is, we see but the shadow of
what is to be, when every railroad
employe in the United States is under
one head-yes, when the entire labor
ing force of this country is united to
enforce any and all demands. And
when that time comes-possibly long
before-the owners Of these roads
will be glad to get rid of them at any
sacrifice, and the result will be the
government will be compelled to as
sumo them. s.' %=s~@

Coxey and his army have at last
reached Washington, where Coxey is
now under arrest for attempting to
address the crowd from the capitol
steps. This seems to us unwise thing
to do, if it had been possible to avoid
it. Such a proceeding will, in the
minds Of many, make martyr of
Coxey, and is doubtless. the very
thing he courted. His movement
should be let die a natural death as
far as possible.

Wire as q Strengthener.

The method Of strengthening copper
steam pipes by means Of coiled metal
wire has been quite generally adopted
in the Italian navy. The practice is to
serve the tubes with one or two layers
OF wire wound under tension. The
method is not considered applicable to
other than straight tubes. The wire is
Of sufficient strength to carry the full
load Of steam. and the tension used IN
winding is about II tons per square inch.
The wireis put on ia two or three indie
pendent spirals, and the ends Of each
are Independently fastened to the hanges.

LITERARY NOTES.

ONLY one of George Meredith's books
has thus far been translated into a
foreign language. This is THE Ordeal
of Richard Feverel," which has ap-
peared in Italian.
A NOVEL series which Is to be brought
out In London will be called the "Pio-
neer," and will be concerned, it Is said,
with the development of the New
Woman" The title Of the first story
will be Joanna Traill, Spinster."
Mr.. STANLEY J. WEYMAN has com
pleted q series of twelve stories, all
dealing with the period of Henry Of
Navarro. They are to be called From
the Diary of Minister" and will be
published in the English Illustrated
Magazine.
A NEW monthly publication, Science
Progress, has made it's appearance in
London. From the names of the ed
itor's counselor's, announced on the
title page, and from the first table of
contents, it is evident that the msga-
zine will seek to cover the most ad-
vanced phases of investigation in chem
istry, geology, zoology, botany and
other physical sciences.

POISONED FOR MONEY.
Two Sisters Indicted for the Murder
of Their Brother.

Ballston, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Katherine
and Elizabeth Nolan of Waterford, sis
ters, aged % and II years old respec-
lively, We're arraigned in oyer and
terminer on an indictment charging
them jointly with murder in the first
degree, in having on June s, 1894, ad-
minstered arsenic to their brother
John Nolan, with intent to cause his
death that they might obtain and share
a policy of insurance issued by one of
the low-priced assessment companies
on his life in which they were named
as beneficiaries. He died June 13 from
such poison as was determined by an
autopsy made by direction of Coroner
Stubbs A drug clerk testified before
the coroner's and grand juries to haV-
ing sold one of the sisters arsenic just
before that date. The father, mother
and a sister of the Nolans had died
within this preceding eight months on
all of whose lives they held similar in
surance policies that were paid before
Johns death. c. e. Reach, counsel
for the prisoners, demurred to the in
dictment and also moved that 1t be
quashed on affidavits setting forth
that the evid ance before the grand jury
did not present sufficient facts to war
rant that the sisters be held for trial
Justice Stover overruled the demurrer
and denied the motion to quash. Mr..
Reach then entered pleas of not guilty
for each of his clients and asked that
a date be fixed at this term for their
trial. District Attorney Person opposed
on the ground that the attendance of
necessary witnesses for the people
could not be obtained at this term.
On his motion the cases We're put over
till the January oyer.

SOME MONEY UP.

New York, Oct. 16.-Captain Glori,
Bob Fitzsmmons manager, has post
ed $1,000, making the first instalment
of Fitzsimmons' stake of $4,000 COM
plete. Fitzsimmons' original $1,000,
which he posted with the Herald, was
turned over to Philip ]. Dwyer. the
stakeholder, last Thursday. The next
deposit of s2,5O0 is due on December l.
Although Captain Glori posted the
money promptly he absolutely refused
to sign the articles of agreement so
long as the clause in regard to the
Police Gazette championship belt was
allowed to remain. Captain Glori
pointed out that the belt had to be
won three times before becoming the
absolute property of the winner. Cor
bett," said Glori, has never fought
for the belt before in his life, and
reference to the articles of agreement
of the Corbett-Sullivan and Corbett-
Mitchell fights will prove what l say.
Notwithstanding all this, Richard X.
Fox proposes to give it to Corbett If
he defeats Fitzsimmons while if the
latter beats the champion he cannot
claim the trophy. Fitzsimmons, like
Sullivan, has no use for the dog-collar,
and he won't fight for it. This is final.
If Corbett wants to make an agree
ment to fight for it he can do so, but
no mention will be allowed to go In
the articles Of agreement"
Captain Glori drew up new articles
of agreement and signed them, and a
copy will be sent to Corbett In the
new articles, which Captain Glori
signed, no reference is made to the
belt in dispute, and the stipulations in

SHORT SERMONS.

WORKING without a plan is waste
of strength.
MEN are often gamers when they
lose their money.
II costs less to be contented than it
does to be unhappy.
Too MANY people would rather have
glory than goodness.
IT Is much easier to be contented
without wealth than 1t is with it.
THERE are too many people who
don't know what giving means by ex-
perience.
A COUNTERFEIT is always proclaiming
at the top Of its voice that there is a
genuine.
IT is bad moral atmosphere where
vulgarity passes for wit and humor,
and men are entertained by it.-Rams
Horn
