Mr. y. u. Hudson, or Gaines
vile, Tex, came in Sunday evening
and is spending the week with rel
atives and friends in his old home
county. His visit is one of bust
ness as well as pleasure.
In another column will be found
the announcement of Mr.. A. G. Nc
Rae, who is a candidate for election
to the Office of county Judge, subject
to the will Of the Democratic party
at the June primary. AS the an
nouncement was handed in late, we
will make due mention of it1in our
next issue.
The following couples havebeen
granted licenses tomarry since our

Last weeks Murray, KY, Ledger
contained a report Of the marriage
Of Miss Efie Finley and Mr.. Rid
Reed, the hustling Manager of the
Ledger. The bride, who is the
eldest daughter of N. E. Finley,
deceased, has been residing with
her aunt, Mrs. VIC. Love, at Muir
ray, and is a favorite wherever she
goes. We join her many friends
here in best wishes that her life
may be one of continuedhappiness,
pleasure and usefulness, and we
congratulate the groom on winning
her as bride.
The old adage that ga guilty con-
science needs no aceuser," is often
verified, and we have an example
right here at hand. Recently the
post-ofice at Eggville was robbed
Of a registered package containing
about $40 in currency. Thursday
morning of last week when Post
master Camp went to open up his
store, the stolen package had been
placed on window-sill in such a
mannerthat he would becertain to
discover it. The wrapper had not
been broken and the,contents were
found to be undistnrbed.

Not until the, close Of the late contest

PACIFIC STEAMSHIP LINES.
The Gradual Development of New Lines of
Trade.
Especial Correspondence


VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 14.-Up to about
six months ago a biweekly steamer of
the Spreckels line was the only regular
means of communication we had with
the Sandwich Islands, with which we
should have cable communication. Every
month one of the Spreckels steamers
touches at Honolulu and continues down
to Apia, in the Navigator's islands, Auck-
land, New Zealand and on to Sydney, the
round trip taking about 10 weeks.
This steamship line receives bounty
from the governments of New Zealand and
New South Wales, and it has been in the
nature of a monopoly For years Canada,
or 1.-The Dominion" as its citizens like to
call it, has been making strong efforts to
divert the trade of China, Japan and Aus
tralasia from San Francisco to this port
and so over the Canadian Pacific route to
the states on the Atlantic seaboard
These persistent efforts are being crowned
with success. Six months ago line was
established between Sydney and Vancou-
yer. As yet there are but two steamers on
this line, but they make trip between the
terminal points once M nth, and although
SO far north they take but % days to COM
plete the voyage to "a from San Francisco
Up here, where some day the people ex-
pect to have the metropolis of the Pacific"
the few Americans are strongly in favor of
keeping her dusky majesty in retirement,
but the British Columbians, who are more
monarehical than the English themselves,
are ready to go over and fight for Liliuoka
lani if she needs them.
1t is not generally known that the Do
minion government has been looking with
hungry eyes at the Sandwich Islands ever
since the com letion of their great road TO
the Pacific. Secret agents have been sent
over there to feel the pulse of the people
government and the American annexation
lists.
AS part of the Dominion, Hawaii would

They are founding An empire along the

While our eyes are half shut to the mark

BOREALIS BY AURORA.
Display OF Northern l. ghis, Last Evening,
Seen in Wichita.

The telegraph instrument in the EAGLT
office last evening felt indisposed for about
au hour. 1t is a tough thing for a tele
graph instrument to get sick. The EAGLI
instrument did. 1t chartered like {
bushel of bullets falling on a tin roof.
The man at Denver said his instrument
was hum ming like II bum ble-bee In u to.
mato can and the Omaha operator cussed
his ticker because it ''chewed." The tick
tack thresher at Topeka also had ''bug'
in it.
One of the operators discovered the
cause. Lieutenant Perry had turned on
the Aurora Borealis in honor of George
Washington's birthday. When the Aurora
Borealis gets frisky and goes to lashing
its tail, the average telegraph instrument
throws up its hands and wants to 90 TO
bed,
The northern lights could be seen in
Wichita, but not very brilliant as the sky
WAS heavily overcast with cum illus clouds.
1t passed away after an iridescent flicker
or two and the telegraph instruments
recovered and the report come tumbhng
in the rest of the night in good shape.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The manager of one
| of the most widely read and profitable OF
| American periodicals was asked recently by
! writer of considerable repute what the
most popular form of literature, at least
| for magazines, is at the present time, ac-
| cording to his experience, and the reply
| came quickly, "Unquestlonably, outside Of
| fiction, it is interesting, picturesque and
! anecdotal descriptions Of men or women
| who are now or who have been within the
| present century prominently in the public
| eye" 1t was supposed, for instance, that
years ago all of interest about Napoleon
Bonaparte had been written and published
and that at the present time those who cared
to know anything of that marvellous man
would seek the authentic histories OF his
life for such information.
But short sketch containing some COM
paratively trivial anecdotes was published
recently in France, and to the surprise of
the editor of the magazine he found that
the publication revealed that intense inter-
est still existed, and catering to that inter
est there came vast quantity of material
respecting Bonaparte which the public re-
ceived with avidity, and which led to such
popular interest as justified the production
of drama in which Bonaparte was the
central figure.
In this country one of the magazine ed
itors, procuring some interesting papers up
on Napoleon, published them, although he
was criticised somewhat for thus bringing
forward person of whom it was supposed
the public was tired of hearing. But the
fact was these anecdotal essays were one
of the conspicuous successes of the season.
Mr.. Henry l.. Dawes, for more than 30
years in active public life and three times
elected to the United States senate, has in
his retirement been occupied with the com
position of certain sketches illustrating in
a chatty and reminiscent way men who
were prominently before the public during
Mr.. Dawes career. Some of these papers
have already been published, one furnish
ing some revelation of that most dramatic
political incident. the rupture between Pres
ident Garfield and Senator Conkling, and
the other, setting forth by comparison the
characters of Lincoln and his great war sec
rotary, Stanton, having occasioned such
widespread comment as indicated the popu-
lar interest not only in the men described by
Mr.. Dawes, but in this form of literature.
Another man of long experience as
statesman and of considerable service in
the senate has recently described Daniel
Webster as an orator, making especial ref
