FORECLOSE A MORTGAGE.
Branch Lines Are Dismembering the
Onion Pacific Rail-

St. Paul, Mimi, May 3O.-Attorneys
for the bondholders' committee of the
Kansas City & Omaha made application
to Judge Sanborn for leave to file a
bill against the receivers of the Union
Pacific Railway company for the fore
closure of the first mortgage of the
Kansas City & Omaha, one of the
branches of the Union Pacific, and the
order was granted. The bill will be
filed at Omaha probably today. The
bill prays for separate receivers as we'll
as the foreclosure Of the bonds; The
bonds amount to S2,713,O00 This is
another step in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the Union Pacific company. The action
and proceedings are similar to those
brought in the Oregon Short line, which
has just been finished in the appointment
Of John NJ. Egan as receiver of the lat
ter road.
This may force the foreclosure of the
mortgage on the st. Joseph & Grand
Island, another branch of the Union
Pacific, as that branch guaranteed the
interest on the Kansas City & Omaha
bonds and is made party to this suit.

BETTER CROP REPORTS.
Plan to Have Government Core
spondent in Every Town
ship.

Washington, D. c., May pa scheme
to make an important change in the sys-
tenn of the crop reporting is about to be
put into operation by the agricultural de-
partment. It will provide for detailed re-
ports from vast corps of correspondents
covering every township in the country
and it is expected to be as thorough and
complete a plan as will be possible for
the government to carry into effect A
correspondent will be located in every
township and he will be required to re-
port promptly to the department. The
plan will first embrace only twenty states,
ranging from New York to the innermost
of the Central states, but these COM
prise 80 per cent. of the wheat area.
They include 1889 counties and the great
ness of the scheme is apparent when it is
taken into consideration that the number
of townships in a county averages about
fifteen. This will be used in conf junction
with the system now in vogue, each set
of reports acting as a check on the other.
The present system provides for one
chief reporter in every county, who is
expected to properly receive and weigh
the reports of three others in the same
county. There are now about 1900 chief
correspondents and about 5000 CORE
spondents in all. Steps looking to the or
ganization of the personnel of the new
correspondents of reports has been taken
by the department, but the new plan
cannot be put in operation before next
year
Another plan, that of licensing all
threshers, who are to be required to make
the reports, has been under consideration,
but it is not regarded as feasible by Off
Gals. The threshers would have to be
licensed by the state and must therefore
report directly to the state. This would
cause very material delay in transmit

What New York Has Given Away.

Figures show that the gross earnings of
corporations supplying gas and electricity
York city exceed $50, 100000 per annum.
Their net earnings are in excess of $14,
100000. The amounts paid by them into
the treasury of the city are only nominal.
The earnings increase from year to year,
because of the growth of the city. Com
petition among them is impossible, be-
and it would be unwise and impractical
bic to attempt to charter new gas compa-
MES continually. The streets would be
constantly torn open and the health of
the citizens endangered; and then, no
sooner would they be closed up, than the
two competing companies would enter
into an alliance either for maintenance of
rates or for consolidation.-Centu Mag

The Flag on Lafayette's Grave.

''While in Paris short while ago.,
said traveller recently, 1T occurred to me
that it was a fitting act to make a pill
grimage to the tomb of that illustrious
Frenchman dear to the hearts of Ameri-
can patriots, Marquis de Lafayette. I
asked number of people before | could
find anyone to enlighten me as to the spot,
but after repeated inquiry ascertained the
loca ton. The grave is situated in old
Paris, within the grounds of a convent
that the ancestors of Lafayette founded
and where repose the remains of many
of the French nobility. The first thing
that attracted my attention IN connection
with the hero's tomb was that above it
f1oated silken flag bearing the stars and
stripes.
1T seems that a good many years ago
an American gentleman left in his viii
a sum of money to be used for the special
purpose of keeping an American flag for
ever flying over the grave of Lafayette.
It has done so without intermisson from
the day the will went into effect, and
whenever, through the wear of the ele
ments, one flag becomes unserviceable, a
new one straightway takes it's place
Through untold centuries the emblem Of
the country which in it's early struggles
for liberty had his benefcent aid will
wave above his ashes. Washington

Found What He Has Sought
Since the War Closed.
(Frone tie Ashtobuln Ohio, Beacon)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near EInira, n. Y. and from there en-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, n. \. Y. l.,
with which he went through the war, and
saw much hard service. Owing to expo
sure and hardShips during the service,
Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic diarrhoea,
from which he has suffered now over thlr-
ty years, with absolutely no help from
physicians BY nature he was a won
derfully vigorous man. Had he not been,
his disease and the experiments of the doc
tors had killed him long ago. Laudanum
was the only thing which afforded him re-
lief He had terrible headaches, his nerves
were shattered, he could not sleep an hour
O. day on an average, and he was reduced
TO a skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
sought relief in a change of climate and
removed TO Geneva, Ohio; but the change
0nmendation of +. j. Hoffner, the lead
ing druggist of Geneva, who was cogniz-
ant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try
box. "As a drowning man grasps straw
SO took the pills" says Mr.. Taylor, "but
with no more hope Of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless
search for relief I at last found it in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The day after
took the first pills [ commenced to feel
better, and when had taken the first box
was in fact new man." That was two
months ago. Mr.. Taylor has since taken
more of the pills and his progress is
steady and he has the utmost confidence
In them. He has regained full control Of
his nerves and sleeps as well as in his
youth. Color is coming back to his parch-
ed veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do
considerable outdoor work.
AS he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings, experience and cure to Beacon re-
porter Mrs. Taylor, who has been his
faithful hefpmeet these many years, said
she wished to add her testimony in favor
of Pink Pills. "To the pills alone is due
the credit of raising Mr.. Taylor from
helpless invalid to the man he is to-day"
said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor cannot find words to express the
gratitude they feel or recommend too
highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity.
Amy Inquiries addressed to them at Gene
va, Ohio, regarding Mr. Taylor's case
they will cheerfully answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done for them and
that suffering humanity may be benefited
thereby.

and richness to the blood and restore

HOW TO WALK.
The Proper Length of Step Twice the
Length of the Foot.

Length of the Foot.
A Delsarte teacher, who is peculiar in
knowing something of Delsarte's system
of expression, says that women can i'm
prove their walk without a teacher,
though they can't learn about walking
from print. The proper length of the
step is twice the length Of the foot. and
it is measured from the hollow of one
foot to the hollow of the other. Now,
take piece of tape and sew on it bits
of flannel at intervals twice the length
of one of your feet. stretch it across the
longest room you have at your disposal
and you are ready for practive. Maybe
you don't know that each foot should
cross the same line with each successive
step? 1t should-that is very important,
so now you must walk your tape and set
one foot and then the other right over
one of those bits of flannel, letting the
flannel come just under the instep. Do
this and turn your toes out well, and
swing your leg from the thigh, and you
are far on the road to beautiful walk

wheelmen Elect omcer..

Boston, Nov. IA lively meeting Of
the Massachusetts division of the League
of American Wheelmen was held last
night, at which officers were elected. The
opponents of the men who have been in
control of the division for some time suf-
fered a severe defeat. The following Is the
result of the election: Chief consul, Ster-
ling Elliott; vice consul, ID. Il. Miller;
secretary-treasurer, Alonzo ID. Peck, Jr.
The election of Peck was hotly contested,
and was really the termination of the DIFF
ferences between the nominating com
mittee and the Consolidated cycling clubs.
The latter were badly beaten.

MORE TO COME.
Police Think Chaffey Has More Plumber
slowed Away Somewhere.

BOSTON. Nov. Thames ;. Chaffey was
arraigned in the municipal court yester-
day charged with receiving property stolen
from persons unknown. Chaffey waived
examination, and bail was fixed ut $4,000.
The Boston police. under the direction
of Chief Inspector Watts, are doing every
thing in their power To s%traighten out tho
tangle which was presented by the arrest
of Chaffey and the discovery of 100000
worth OF plumber, which had been gathered
by the convict William Barrett or any
confederate that might have been working
with him. The interest in the case, which
is one OF the most famous in the criminal
history of Massachusetts,, is still great,
and further startling Developments arc
looked for.
Chief Watts believes that there is a
large amount OF stolen property not yet
brought to light, and strong pressure is
being brought to bear OH Chaffey TO tell
anything that he might have left untold.
Little confidence is placed in the state
ments made by Barrett. It's known that
he was connected with many of the rob
berries which alarmed Massachusetts, a few
years ago, and that there was n larger
amount of property taken than has beer
recovered.
