PERFECTING PLANS.
Preparation for Strike on the Great
Northern Railroad.

CHICAGO. Nov. s. AL railroads have
positively assured President Hill OF the
Great Northern that as far as il lies in
their power they viii cooperate with
him in defeating the A. r. u. strike now
threatened upon his road. This infOr-
nation comes from officials of Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul, the Burlington,
the Illinois Central and the Chicago IL
Eastern Illinois systems. This support
of the Great Northern is an outgrowth of
the plan pursued by the general mana
gers OF the different roads OF Chicago,
when they were dealing with the strike
last year. Mr.. Hill has engaged a detec-
tive agency to furnish him armed guards
and advised the Chicago railroad mana
gers that his road would employ any
railroad man out of work who mad not
committed an act Of violence in Chicago
or elsew here against a railroad during the
strike OF 1891. There are some two thous-
and of these men ia Chicago at present
time whose names were on the. pay rolls
of the railroads mp TO June i, 1894. They
include engineers, firemen, brakemen
and fagmen. While they have been
blackiisted- for nearly Is months no
charge has rested against them but OF
having simply quit work when the strike
began. At 175 Monroe street these men
are being engaged and furnished trans
portation 10 st. Paul.

CHAPTER II.
So Lucius had to pursue his journey
alone.
The train was crowded. Lucius fira'ly,
however, found seat beside a grim. but
intellectuaf-looking passenger in the
smoking car. The atmos pbere OF the car
was oppressive AS night came on there
was Titanic snoring all around. Lucius
tried to raise one OF the windows but the
rain of the previous Gay had swened it
and stuck fast.
81 wonder, said Lucius to his grim
but intellectual-looking fellow traveller,
81 wonder what makes the air SO close in
this carp
To this query the other answered, SOL
emnly:"l opine that some gentleman has
drawn q boot"
They stopped eight minutes for break
fast next morning. The menu was soda
crackers and pepper-sauce.
When Lucins was asked to pay seventy
five cents for this entertainment he expos
tuiated.
"What do you expect for seventy-five
cents?' demanded the callous money
changer at the door; "terrapin soup and
lemon pie?"
Lucius returned to the smoking car only
to find that during his absence his seat
had been taken by lady with the asthma.
For the next one hundred and sixty
miles Lucius stood up buying things OF
the trainboy every time that enterprising
person came along. IL was n dreary,
weary while, but Lucius was not sorry
that he had come. 81 shall presently be

1884 the tidal wave OF civil service reform
struck Bayonet county very hard. A
young lawyer, who bad come to Iowa
only two years before from the East, an
no unced in the Democratic weekly that
he was mugwump, and he invited all
honest citizens to rally TO the puritica-
tion OF national politics. This singu-
larly hardened young man heaped
obloquy upon the Grand Army of the Re-
public and urged the voters of the county
to redeem their interests from the clutch
-es ef-a- -tAat-seHg At-f maintenance
at the public expense simply By parading
the unholy continents and maudling SEN
timentalities of a war that had been end
ed twenty years. The sickening result of
this agitation was that the voters of Bay
onet county decided, by large majority,
TO suffer the fostering wounds OF the CIV
III war TO heal; in other words, the pat
riots were ignominiously voted out Of
office aud set of younger and wholly
unmeritorious civilians were installed.
The four years administration of the
civil service reform president, Involving
as II did the desecratory diminution OF
the pension roll, was a most grievous blow
to Corporal Tanner Post, No. 1893, q. A.
X. Israel Hotchkiss, who had lost an
arm IN threshing ma hin o, had applie
for indemnity on account of loss of hear
ing resulting from sleeping out In the
rain during the peninsulsr campaign. A
patriotic Congress Endorsed this applica-
tion, but the measure appropriating eight
hundred dollars 10 lsraels credit was
vetoed by the unfeeling President upon
the grounds that the back files of the ma
tionsl meteorological bureau indicated
that no rain at all had fallen during the
entire period OF the peuinsular campaign.
In vain did the Congressman from Is
raePs district iuveigh against this un-
righteous act; In vain did Corporal Tan
ner Post, No. 1876. A. r., formally call
upon the unfeeling President TO resign. II
was all too apparent that Corporal Tan
ner Post, No. 1913, q. A. r., had lost its
grip.
AS IL TO complicste an already distress

store burned up one night. and the prop

ing "a chairs, new pine table, one copy
OF "Hardee's Tactics" one flag, two kerr
osene lamps, one melodeon and dozen
patriotic song books) fell prey 10 the
remorseless flames; no insurance. All
that was saved was a case OF canned
peaches, and they belonged TO Simms.
