Carved With d Razor.

Tom Walters was reported here
yesterday morning as being a corpse,
but the rumOr proved to be false
alarm, as he rode into town shortly
after with his brother Zach from
Motley. On Monday Tom was
carved with razor in the hands of
some rough over there and a report
reached here that he had died from
the effects OF the wound. AS near as
we could get at the facts of the case,
as told by his brother, Tom had
been drinking and and went over
across the river to one of those
houses where virtue is never known
to enter, and while there fell asleep,
and while slumbering a fellow went
through him, rObbing him OF up
wards of $50. The money was in his
shirt pocket and when the rough
took it out Tom awakened and.
raised up and struck the fellow, who
drew razor and slashed Walters
just below the heart, cutting quite a
long but not very deep cash. The
fellow then slashed at him at APPOINT
just below the left side of the neck.
but the razor only went through the
shirt. The rough got away, taking
the meney with him. A telegram
was received here Monday evening
to Walters father, who lives at
Reynolds, and the next day Zach
went after his brother. Tom had
just come off the drive and was on
his way home.-Long Prairie Lead

What War Is Like

Scribner's Magazine contains an arti-
Gle entitled "Gettysburg Week." It
consists of extracts from the diary of
the late DR.. Philip Schaff. When Lee
invaded Pennsylvania in June, 1853,
Professor Schaff was a professor in the
theological seminary at Mercersburg, in
southern Pennsylvania, a few miles
north of the Maryland line. The bold
Confederate riders and raiders criss-
crossed their tracks back and forth
through the hapless little town. At one
time they cleaned out the hardware and
grocery stores of the village and paid
for what they took in Confederate mon
ey, worth SO cents a bushel.
Again they made regular search
through all the houses for alleged runa-
way slaves, carrying off not only all the
refugees they could find, but also free
born negroes. Mercersburg had 1900
inhabitants. AS the news of Lees ap-
proach was heralded throughout the
country the United States government
took every precaution to fortify Harris
burg and Pittsburg, leaving the small
towns on the border of southern Penn
sylvania to their fate. It is not strange,
therefore, that DR.. Schaf writes in his
journal, June 26, ''The darkest hour of
the American republic seems to be ap-
proaching." Anybody would be apt to
think that if he had his horses stolen and
his potatoes and chickens confscated.
In the simple, straightforward style
Of a preacher and man of peace DR..
Schaff portrays war as it appears to peo-
pie on whom it falls. In this short pa
per there is more of it's real effect than
a young man who thirsts for glory would
get from reading 10 volumes Of ordinary
war history.

Engineering Enterprises.

sES
Boston has become so crowded il the
business part Of the city that at certain
times Of the day locomotion is at stand
still. 1t requires a street car sometimes
10 or 20 minutes to travel couple Of
blocks. This has made it necessary for
Boston to follow the example already
set by Chicago and construct subway
for electric street cars. The plans for
this subway are already made. It will
be 10000 feet long and will partly pass
under the historic fremont street: It
will be lined throughout with white por-
celain tiles and will be ventilated by
great machine blowers. It will cost
$3,500,0o0. ii.
New York has several great enter
prises on at once. The largest of these
is the building of the new bridge across
the Hudson. It will start at Hoboken
heights on the Jersey shore and reach
New York between Fifty ninth and Six
ty-ninth streets. It will have six rail
way tracks and will cost 100000, 900.
Two or three years will probably see its
completion. Although it is both higher
and longer than the Brooklyn bridge, it
will not cost SO much proportionally
as that bridge did, for steel and material
are cheaper now than they were when
Roebling spanned East river.
Another large engineering project is
that Of the New Y ork Metropolitan Trac-
ton company. It will build an electric
street railway with the trolley wires un-
foreground. No competitor has succeed
ed in obtaining the $4,000 prize which
the traction company offered for per-
feet plan for underground electric con-
duction as adapted to street car propul-
sion. The offer was left open over a
year, and no satisfactory solution of the
question was given. The offer has been
withdrawn, and the traction company
proposes to adopt for underground troll
ley wires notifications of devices already
existing. The road will be built with a
slot and conduit similar to those of a
grip cable road. Into this conduit the
electric engineers will put their trolley
wires. An experimental road of this
kind three miles long will first be made.
Then when New York city gets anoth-
er bridge built across East river to
Brooklyn and gets bulkheads built from
the battery three miles down the bay
toward Staten Island, lining the whole
distance with steamship docks for TAX
ing on and discharging cargoes, perhaps
New Workers will begin to have room to
breathe.

ST.. PAUL, June 29.-No Northern
Pacific trains have been able to leave
here since Wednesday morning, and
the officials still refuse to re-instate
the men who were discharged for re-
fusing to handle trains with Pullman
cars. General Manager Kendrick
says he has hired new men to take
the place of those who will not
work, and that train will be
started out tonight. A large force
of strikers is cOngregated near the
round house, and there is also force
of United States marshals in the
neighborhood of the cOmpany's
property, prepared to protect the
wOrkingmen who will do the work.
There has been no trouble, but the
strikers declare that the train will
not De allOWeu TO go out. AS the
road is in the hands Of the United
States courts, the officers will extend
all the protection needed, and it is
not believed that the strikers will
use fire, even if they feel Inclined to
do so. The switches in the yards
have been disconnected from the in
terlocking- tower system, SO that
men can operate them if properly
protected. Tonight will witness the
first struggle between the A. r. u.
and the Northern Pacific, and the
only course left is to fight it out.
The night train over the Omaha
for Duluth has been abandoned. 1t
is expected that a general tie up of
the Milw aukee system will be or
dered, but it has not yet been done.

By recent decision of Judge Ross of
the United States circuit court at Los
Angeles 100000 acres near that city be-
come public lands and will be thrown
open to settlement accordingly. The
land was claimed by the Southern Pa
cific railway company. The United
States brought suit for it as wrongfully
held by the company and won. Here
will be opportunity for many more free
farms and fruit gardens.

Everyth Tied Up But a
Few Mail Trains and
Marshalls.

More Mills Shut Down Tow
Hundred Men Out Of
Employment.
Theswitch engine crew was Or
dered to Brainerd Sunday with the
engine and will probably remain
there until after the strike.
| The L. F. & D. train got out on
time for Brainerd Saturday after
noon and it will probably be the
last one for several days. A dis
patch received here this morning
states that the conductor was doing
his best to secure an engine to take
out the train, but as it has not ar
rived he evidently failed to find one
No. arrived Sunday morning
| about twenty minutes late. Con-
ductor Ray was in charge and Con-
ley handled the engine with a ''scab"
fireman. The brakemen were men,
bers of the Brotherhood. 1t was
made up of five cars, two of which
were PGlllnans. The usual army OF
marshals was OH board.
Sunday evening a special train in
charge of Conductor Hall and pulled
by Gene. Moore came through at $40.
1t carried five coaches and about
half dozen marshals. There was
considerable delay here and it was
thought for a time that the engineer
| would leave the train. He finally
decided to stay on and pull the train
through to Staples.
The first train from the west for
several days went through Monday
IN morning ON the time OF No. s. Con-
ductor Horn was on duty, as was
also engineer COnley. 1t was made
up of ten cars and went through
without trouble.
No. 5 came in Monday afternoon
about 3:15 with conductor Davis,
engineer Cunningham and a "scab"
fireman. There was a mail car, ex-
press and baggage car, two day
coaches and diner. The
usual number Of Marshals were on
the train and they stood around the
coaches while the train was at the
depot. This train goes to Brainerd,
and will hardly go any farther as
engineers and fremen are at prem
ium in that city. Some of them are
sick and the rest have gone fishing.
One of the marshals ON No. 5 said
that the Northern Pacific men were
the most gentlemanly set of fellows
he had ever met, and that he
thought they would not make any,
trouble. Everything he thought
would be running by Wednesday.
The Interstate Milling company
managed to get two cars Of flour to
Brainerd Saturday afternoon. 1t
was hauled oyer by team and loaded
in the cars at the depot. Conductor
Baxter did his own switching, his
brakemen refusing to have anything
to do with it. At the time the cars
were taken off the house track the
members of the A. r. q. were hold
ing a. meeting at their hall down
town.
Some parties were here from Brain
erd Saturday to see about having
the A. r. q. allow flour to be shipped
to that city but we understand they
did not get much satisfaction.
MILLS SHUT DOWN.
The pulp and paper mills have shut
down and about seventy-ive men
are thus thrown out Of employment
on account of the strike. The -four
! mill and planning mill are down and
will not be started up until after the
strike is ended. There are at least
two hundred men thrown out of EN-
ployment in this city, all on account
OF the trouble at Pullman, Illinois.

Two Ugly e

The Due de Roquelaure was q man
of great ugliness and much hunOr. One
day he met in the street a most unlOve-
ly looking Auvergnat, who had some
petition Or memorial to present at Yer
~sailles. He Immediately introduced
him to Louis XIV, remarking hat he
was under a special obligation to him.
The king granted the favor asked for
and then inquired of the due what
might be the nature of the obligation.
But for him, your majesty, | should
be the ugliest man in your dominions."
/ am reminded Of Heidegger, the
manager of the opera house in the
Haymarket when George II was king.
One day he laid a wager with the Earl
of Chesterfield that he would not find
in all London an uglier face than his.
After a long search the earl produced
a of st. Giles who at first
seemed to outvie the manager, out when
the latter put N the woman's headgear
his superior ugliness was at once ad-
mitted.-All the Year Round.

The Screaming Habit.

No two persons hear exactly alike.
The human internal ear is best de-
scribed by likening it to a grand piano.
That instrument has a key for every
note; the human ear has a nerve fila
ment for every tone and its variations.
Did / say for every tone: That is a
mistake. Some pianos have seven Oc-
taves, some have eight; sOme have bet
ter tone in one portion of the keyboard
than in another. Exactly SO with the
human ear. Some persons hear acute
ly; they catch sounds that to others are
but silence. Some tones strike the ear
drum, but are not conveyed to the
brain because their corresponding
nerve flament is missing. We know
of defective hearing, but we do not ap-
ply III knowledge to our reasoning
when we are stating our opinions or i'm
pressions. To some a high note is a
positive pain, and to such ears a soa1-
ing soprano will do nothing but shrek.
Others will detest the lower tones. An
finals are moved cut Of their wonted
calm by the sound Of certain notes.
1t should be our endeavOr to cultivate
tones of softneSs and sweetness. A low
tone is the voice of comfort and conso-
~latiOn, of deepest, most sacred emotion.
Our society women should do all they
al to counterfeit the screaming habit
of Americans. - Di Vernon in San
Francisco Newsletter.

WEARY.

I'm old, and the heat of LIES battles
Has bleached my brown hair till it's white
And teardrops that sparkle light diamonds
Have stole from my eyes their old light.
And low, where cold marbles are cleaning,
laid what the world gave to me;
But high, where the pure ones are waiting.
Ny treasures again will | see.
Tonight | have heard strains Of music
That foated away long ago,
But some mystic spirit has caught them
To chant TO me nov, soft and low.
I heard an old story tonight, too,
That memory fingered 10 tell,
OF youth that built castles in midair
That crushed hopes and dreams as they fell.
I've seen an old picture Of SORROW
A vessel that sank in the sea
But safe in the hartor Of heaven
a fair sailor boy waits for me.
l listen In dreams for his footsteps,
almost can see his white hand
AS it lifts from my heart life's dark shadows
And points me to his spirit land.
o Time, l am weary of travel.
Lies pathway Is lonely for me,
And breezes that whisper about me
Seem filed with a voice from the See
And now l am tired-so tired
And some night I'll lie down TO rest
And dream till l wake in the morning
In peace in the home OF the blest.

Home Supplies.

Atlanta Journal: The farmers of North
Carolina are emulating those Of our own
state in the sensible business Of raising
their own supplies Both have made
wonderful progress" in this line. A state
ment that comes from Scotland Neck, n.
c., throws a cheerful light or this sub,
ject. In 1889 one firm in that town sold
427, 900 pounds of meat, and last year the
entire shipments of meat to that point
amounted to only 10000 pounds. In 1880
sc, 200 bushels of western corn were ship
ped to Scotland Neck, and last year there
not a peck. The country is tn a more
prosperous condition than it ever was
before. Any country that raises its own
corn and meat will thrive.
