Hello! There; Mccormick.

Mrs. Q. H. Teal sent us a big
turnip this week, weighing seven
pounds. She has a half-acre patch
of mammoth turnips, and several
parties inform us that this 7-pound
specimen is about a fair average of
the entire patch. Capt. Teal has an
order for two barrels of his big tur-
nips from Mr.. J. w, Miller, of Boyce,
and says he expects to fill the or
der and the barrels by putting a
dozen ttirnips in each barrel.

We notice that South Louisiana
contemporary is carrying the New
Orleans directory advertisement
sent out by the Meyers Advertising
Agency. This business was sent
to the Democrat-Journal, but the
offer was declined. The proposition
made was for as to do S45 worth of
work, at our rates, for SIS to oblige
Meyers. We do not insert adver-
tisements for accommodation often,
but when we do the motive that
prompts us is for the sake of chart
ty or religion and for the benefit of
our home people. 1t is not surpris-
ing that publishers do not make
money ont of advertising when
they can be induced to work for
pittance by agents. But as long
as there are suckers in the business
men will be found to bump their
heads. = Mansfield D-J.

WAGES RESTORED.
Engineers and Firemen to Get the Old
Schedule.

Engineers and F;remen to Get the Old
ST. PAUL, May IA number of
engineers and firemen called on Mr..
Hill Saturday. They made no request
for restoration of wages, but assured
him that they would remain true to
their brotherhoods and to their agree
ment with the company. On invita-
ton Of the president the full grievance
committees, headed by their chairmen,
Engineer Nolan and Fireman Upte-
grove, bled in the office of J.. O.
Pattee, superintendent of motive power,
shortly after 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
No n was present except the com
mittees, Mr.. Pattee and President Hill.
Mr.. Hill told the men that as the train
men were still receiving the old rates,
having never completed the vote on his
proposition for reduction, he considered
it but fair that they should likewise re-
ceive the old rates. He did not wish to
be partial in his dealings with the vari-
u classes of his employees, and would
not therefore hold the enginemen bound
to their agreement providing a reduc-
ton unless the trainmen were similarly
reduced.

Official Reports of the Grecian Earth

ATHENS, May 1.-The official report
sent from earthquake stricken districts
in nowise minimize the first account
of the disaster. The whole coast line
from the ancient port of Larymna to
Thempolyle suffered terribly. The loss
of life on Friday night last must have
been very great. M. Bouphides, minis

that in the Lokris district alone 300
were killed. Two hundred and thirty
three bodies have already been recover-
ed. About 300 were injured.
The people of Atalanta have fed to

there was a continuous series of shocks.
In seven hours and a half 365 were
counted,

Experience.

An Allan Line Steamship Had a Severe
Experience.
PHILADELPHIA, May AFTER a 81
days storm of unusual severity, the AL
Ian line steamship Corean, in charge Of
Captain Main, has arrived at this port,
bearing marks of a long battle with ice
bergs and ice foes, from which the iron
vessel barely escaped.
April IL, in latitude 1880 north,
longitude 49. IS west an immense ice
berg was encountered and at once an
extra watch was set and a keen look
out kept. That the precaution was d
wise n was demonstrated by the
warnings given shortly after dark,
which saved the ship from collision with
another large berg. On April 10,
just before daybreak, the Corean plowed
her way deep into a huge ice field, where
she became fast bound. They were ther
Is miles off Cape Race, and it was
found that the ice field extended to the
coast and for miles on either side. L
was impossible to make the harbor Of
st. Johns, N. F..
during TOUR days the COrean was fast
bound, hemmed in by tall icebergs that
threatened to crush the vessel, the cole
was severe and the crew suffered
greatly. On April % the Corean wa:
within two miles Of shore, and Third
Officer Pierson was Sent to land to com
municate by cable with the Corean'!
agents, asking for orders. A reply cam
instructing Captain Main to proceed t.
Halifax as soon as the vessel becam'
free. Slowly "a passage was worked GU
of the icefelds, and she reached blu,
water on the 23d.

tulnably to protect mails, but in real
ity, they say, to enable the Great
Northern passenger trains to run. The
men claim to have positive evidence
that the company has sent out trains
having neither mail nor mail agent
aboard, though mail cars We're attached
to either end Of the trains, and they
were manned by United States deputy
marshals. Prominent Republicans here
have taken the matter in hand at the en-
ployes' request, and will at once urge
Congressman johnson to introduce in
congress a resolution protesting against
the payment Of all expenses accruing
from the employment of deputy mar
shals to operate Great Northern trains.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
The National Capitol Guarded by AZ
Extra Force of Police.

1he National Capitol Guarded by An
Extra Force of Police.
WASHINGTON, May Visible evil
dences Of preparation for the Coxeyites
who arrived in Washington Sunday
were to be seen about the halls and cor
ridors of congress, but everything had
been done so quietly that the same
serenity prevailed as that of an ordinary
day. A double force Of officers was on
duty. Captain Garden and Lieutenant
Watkins having charge of the senate
end, and Lieutenant Burns being in
charge at the house end. The double
force of privates gave men for all the
entrances to the Capitol, and for the
main assembling points. Two men were
in the main rotunda. Each of the main
doors and the basement entrances had
an officer. The lobbies surrounding the
senate and louise were patrolled
by officers. The halls giving
ingress to the congressional gall
leries were also patrolled. Each
man had his post and was expected to
remain there unless called to assemble
by a whistle. Officers were courteous
to the officers and sightseers who
thronged the halls. There were no rough
characters in the crowd. The people
came and went with the same freedom
as usual, and the extra officers de-
meaned themselves so quietly as to pass
almost unnoticed.
All main approaches and entrances
to the Capitol were open as usual, ex-
cept some of the obscure entrances in
the sub-basement. These were closed,
not as a means of precaution. but in
order to allow officers to be utilized at
other points. The doorkeepers in these
galleries were giving seats to all COM
ers, but with the purpose of keeping
the seats no more than comfortably
filled, without crowding the aisles and
doorways.

Appropriation Bills in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The house
will continue work on the a%ppropria-
ton bills this week. The Republicans
developed an obstructive policy during
the consideration of the diplomatic and
consular ILL, which was completed
last Thursday, consuming an entire
week by means Of unimportant amend
ments to unimportant items. The
Democrats fear that this policy is to be
continued in furtherance of a well
settled programme to delay the passage
Of the regular appropriation bills.

THE SITUATION AT ST. CLOUD.

Two Engines Run Out in the Morning
Taken Back to tho Roundhouse.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, May 1.-The sit
ing for speedy settlement of differences
as it was. Two engines were run out
onto the lead track from the round
house early in the morning, ready for
business, one of which was in charge Of
Engineer Hill and Fireman Uptegrove.
It had hardly got on to the lead track
when President Foster came up and
made a speech to the iremen and en-
gineers, in which he stated
that Nolan and Uptegrove had mis-
represented matters at the conference at
st. Paul Saturday. He made a strong
appeal to them to stand united and if
they must fall, to fall together. AS a re-
suit of his remarks both crews returned
their engines to the roundhouse, but it is
said that they were not returned through
sympathy alone, but because switch
men could not be obtained to work with
engine crews, and those refusing were
promptly dismissed by Superintedent j.
b. Rice. Grand Master Workman
Sovereign Of the Knights of Labor will
make speeches here in the evening. The
American Railway union claims to have
the full sympathy of the engineers and
fremen, and that they will stand by
them. The latter are nom comittal,
however, and it is impossible to get
their exact position. Men confidently
expected here to work in the yard have
not arrived and everything is conse-
Quently at a standstill.

joarned until a later hour when Mr..

call, as a matter Of courtesy, upon the

Prior to starting for Minneapolis Mr..

Brotherhood of Engineers and two rep
resenting the fremen and We're assured
by them that the engineers and iremen
had not authorized Nolan and Upte-

MI. Hill Saturday afternoon, and that
they proposed to stand by the American

Very Quiet at the Shops.
There was bat little Indication of life
at the Great Northern shops and yards,
and work has not been resumed. A few
Of the men reported for duty, but not
enough to make it worth while to start
up, and their names were taken and
they were told to come around later.
About rs car men were at work, but
that was all. None of the switchmen
reported, and what switching had to be
done was performed as on Friday and
Saturday by yardmasters. The machine
shops and boiler shops are as still as the
grave.
The Breckenridge train left about on
time, and the Fergus Falls train, which
should leave at $3.50 started at about y:4j
with four passenger coaches, baggage
car and mail ear. About 100 deputies
were on board and a large quantity OF
repairing material was taken along to
be used in case of necessity. There was
quite a crowd at the depot to watch the
train depart and another crowd at the
jackson street bridge as it passed
through the yards, but no demonstra.
ton occurred.
