In race OF zoos miles between the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Florida Cen.
trail & Southern Railway, the latter won
by four hours. Both trains left Jackson
Vile at the same minute and the race to
Nav York was most exciting to the pas
sengers OF each. The latter road was
beaten by an hour or two last year and
the betting was largely in favor OF the
Atlantic Line, which wasn't in it hardly

EVERY FRIDAY

As the time appointed for nominating
a democratic candidate to represent Lin
coin county in the next General Assem-
bly draws on space, the lNTERIoR JOUR
Nal wonld urge upon the district con-
yentions, which are to be held at p NJ,
Saturday, May IL, to send their best men
TO the county convention to be held here
atlP.M on the 18th, and uninstructed
for any candidate announced or prospsc
tive. Let men with the true interests oil
the democratic party at heart come to-
eether here and after consulting and
reasoning together nominate a man who
can win and who will represent the best
sentiment OF the county when he g'e'
10 Frankfort. Elsted by their victory in
November, the republicans are not only
hopeful, but sanguine and aggressive,
and the democracy has not only to NOM
mate a good and acceptable man, bat
put on its fighting clothes in earnest, to
prevent repetition OF last falls ignomin
ious funk. There is more than usual at
stake in electing a representative. A U,
s. Senator is to be chosen, among Other
important things, and We must send
man there to vote for democrat for that
Office. By uniting on good candidate
the democracy can easily reclaim it's OWE
and purify itself of the stencil OF repub
licanism. Let us see that we do it.

ment it is stated that F. II. Hayselcen
is a resident of Lanai, and while on
that island he was approached by the
defendants, Sheridan and Underwood
Their opening talk was ostensibly Tor
the purpose of securing the island OF
Lanai for colonization purposes Their
main motive, however, was soon ap-
parent by further talk Of the men. 1t
was to the effect of securing Lanai for
establishing a nucleus on that island
for the overthrow of the republic OF
Hawaii. Sheridan stated to Hayselden
that he was able to procure large
body of men and all the necessary
arms and ammunition to do the work
The men also informed Hayselden that
they deputed to secure the island for
the purpose of establishing lottery for
a syndicate in San Francisco. For their
assistance in overthrOwing the present
government they were 10 secure from
the to-be-restored queen, upon her re-
instatement, the necessary franchise
for conducting the lottery scheme.
Sheridan and Underwood claimed that
they had already signed agreements
with responsible parties to the effect
that this franchise was TO be their re-
ward for the assistance of. themselves
and associates in San Francisco in
oveuthroWing the present government
and restoring the monarchy.
For their assistance HaySeiden was
to be given a government position be-
sides a money consideration. He gave
the men no encouragement and refused
TO give q final answer unless he was
given further time to consider the mat
ter. Meanwhile he communicated with
the authorities.

she would give the necklace. He looked

WILL ASK FOR A DECREE.
Foreclosure Proceedings Begun Against
the Denver, LeadviIie and Gunnison.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 24-The case of
the American Loan and Trust company
against the Denver, Leadville and Gun
nison Railway company and others
came I'D in the United States court to-
day, il being the intention to ask for a
decree Of sale under foreclosure Of
mortgage
Willard Teller appeared for the I'm
ion Pacific and asked leave to file a
cross bill, the purpose of which was to
have the court determine the amount
and priority OF the claim Of the Union
Pacific against the Denver, Leadville
and Gunnison property for money ex-
pended in the operation of the South
Park in excess Of the earnings of the
property while the Union Pacific receiv-
ers were in control. The amount
claimed is S254, 600.
Charles W. Waterman Of Wolcott and
Vale, representing the South Park
ibOndholder, argued that the receivers
OF the Union Pacific operated the prop
erty by virtue of the Union Pacific's
ownership of the stock of the Denver,
Leadville and Gunnison and could have
no rights as against the mortgageees,
which any stakeholder might not have
and therefore their claim for losses sus-
tanned in the operation of the property
could not properly be set up as a prior
lien to that of the mortgage.
Judge Hallett took the matter under
az wise

SOMETIMES STRIKES TWICE.
Curious Results of observations OF Light
ming by tho Weather bureau.

The result Of observations OF light
ming and the damage and destruction IL
causes are given ia a pamphlet issued
by the weather bureau at Washington.
Among the cur Gus facts noted is that
the old theory that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place does not
hold good. Many instances are cited
where lightning has struck in the same
place not only twice. but several times.
Another singular fact il that barns IN
the country, which appear 20 be favor
ite marks for lightning. are seldom
struck at the season of the year when
they are empty. but suffer most when
they are filled, just after harvest time.
Ii is shown by the records that in
June, 1894, SO persons were killed by
lightning in this country and i02 sew
ereiy injured, while numerous cows,
sheep and goats were knocked down
and property destroyed worth S2SO.oo0.
But in November of the same year only
one dwelling was struck. The hot sum
Iuer months arc the favorite seasons
for the lightning 20 play. Some states
are moro affected than others. New
York state leads IL the record OF barns
struck during 1899. Pennsylvania CON
ing next, and Michigan third. Ia 1892
the damage from fires eaured by light
ming amounted TO nearly s. o0o 900 in
the United States, ard ia 10 single year
since the figures have been kept hzs tbs

Jefferson City. Mo-. Dec. 24--The
heavy rain last night caused great
alarm along the Usage and Moreau
river valley. The already swollen
streams were rising this morning and
it is feared that the high water OF las.
week would be greatly augmented
Bottom farms are swept clear of fenc-
ing, haystacks, shocked corn and many
outbuildings. a great amount of stock
has been drowned and II the rain con-
tinues twenty-four hours the river val
ley will be a scene OF wild devastation.
Several lives are reported lost along the
Usage valley.
Word just received from Tuscumbia.
sixty miles up the Usage. says that
morethan 100000 bushels OF corn within
small radius on the bottom lands, was
washed away last night and thousands
OF railroad ties and bridge timbers we're
fioated away. The Usage is now higher
than in 1882, when il broke the record
A telegram says the Maramec is rising
and is higher than every before. The
Missouri is not dangerously high, but is
rising and promises to be booming soon.
jefferson City, Mo, Dec. 24.-Rain
! has now fallen almost increasingly
along the valleys of the Usage, Moreau
and Gasconade rivers since Monday
evening. 1t is still raining and the pres
ent flood viii greatly increase. Many
families have been driven from their
homes to the hills and this viii prove a
most dismal Christmas eve 10 them.
Fortunately the weather IS as warm as
during May Floods in December new
er occurred before so far as anyone
knows, consequently no precautions
against them were taken. For
more than fifty miles the
Usage valley tonight is sea
of surging water and in some
localities the high water mark OF 1874
has been surpassed. Christmas Will
dawn on a stricken people in this val
ley.
Nothing can be heard from the Gas
conade tonight. At last reports today
il was rising rapidly and all the velley
is under water. People in the MOreau
valley are much better protected but
their loss will be enormous.

PROMOTION ON THE BURLINGTON
Lucius Wakeley be General Passenger
Agent of Lines in Missouri

Chicago, Dee. 24-Lucfus Wakeley,
assistant general passenger agent of
the Burlington system, mas been promo
ted to be general passenger agent CT the
Burlington lines in Missouri.
The scheme of the tranScontinental
lines to make all the tickets from Mon
tand points TO the Missouri river con-
tinuous passage tickets is not meeting
with the success that was anticipated.
Some of the lines have not yet voted on
the proposition at all, and the general
feeling seems ito be that the Denver and
Rio Grande will not accept it. If it does
not, the whole affair goes by the board.
and there will be all sorts of trouble
in the Colorado and Utah business.
The same general order as that ap-
pointing Mr.. Wakeley, announced that
w. C. Brown is to be general manager
Of the system, and that Howard Elliott
succeeded Mr.. Brown as general man
ager of the Missouri lines.

MUST SEEK THE sEARCHER.
Vessel that went After the Missing Strath-
nevis Itself Missing

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 24-The
wost storm experienced in many years
has prevailed in the straits for two
days. Telegraph wires are Frustrated,
and shipping is al a standstill. Steam
ers arriving from the south report a
severe gale from the west and steamers
bound down are compelled to seek shell
ter and wait for the weather to moder-
ate.
The succession of gales has not only
intensified fears for the safety of the
missing steamer, Strathnevis, of the
Northern Pacific line, but much uneas-
mess is now felt for the British steamer
Danubea, which left Victoria two weeks
ago to search for the disabled steam
ship. Since the collier Wachusett re-
turned from sea badly damaged and
leaking, fear is felt for the safety OF
other outward vessels.
