Ratfar pnt in Mills

The Mesaba road has hauled
10, 600, 600 feet of logs to Duluth
this winter and now is bringing
only a small lot from a point
twelve miles away. It might
easily have secured business
amounting to over fifty million
feet If it had been willing to give
pine owners a fair show on rates.
1t IS getting $3.50 for a haul of a
dozen iles.-Inland Ocean.
And if the owners of the logs
that have been shipped to Du-
luth had put in small mills at
convenient points their enter
prise would have tended to open
the intermediate country between
the range and the Zenith City
and there would of necessity be
no kick on rates.

Still A Matter Of Conjecture.

Six or eight weeks ago there
was no end of talk relative to
the probability of the D. & l. R.
road changing it's line so as to
enter Virginia and erect a depl t
near the west end of Chestnut
street, but the talk died out with
the stopping of work of the en-
gineers, and for a time it ap.
peared that no change was prob
able this year. For the past ten
days, however, the companys en-
gineer's have again oeen at work
on the same survey and it again
looks as though the Iron Range
was making preparations for a
move which would entitle it to a
good support from the business
people Of Virginia. By chang
ing it's liae so as to come from
Mckinley through Eveleth to
Virginia it would also add much
prestige to it's range accommoda-
tions, and it is more than likely
that such a change will be made
during the coming year.

PALMA MAKES A PLEA
What if France in Revolutionary War
Hadn't Allowed Volunteers for Anne RIGA.

What if France in Revolutionary War
Hadn't Allowed Volunteers for Anne RIGA.
NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Thomas Estrada
Palma, the president Of the Cuban revo-
lutionary junts, issued an address on the
recent arrest of Cubans at Penns Grove,
using the incident as a basis for plea
to the United States government for re-
cognition Of the Cuban insurgents as
belIigerents. The address is in part as
follows:
"a score of Cuban patriots, most of
them youths of the best families. doctors,
lawyers, were chased like a band of rob-
bers caught and Imprisoned, for the al
legged crime of intending to start for
Cuba to join those who are fighting for
the same cause for which the American
colonies fought here in the last century.
ut is to be remembered that if at that
time Lafayette and his gallant compan-
ions should have been chased. captured
and imprisoned for coming to join the
American revolutionists; that if the
French government, instead of effectual-
ly helping the American colonists, should
have interpreted the laws of neutrality
as the government of the United States
does now, it is likely the birth of the first
republic in the world of Columbus had
taken place much later, if at all"

OTHER STONE PUT IN.
Last of the Court House Tower
Built of Stone.
NOT ALLOWED BY TIE SPECIFICATION

TC Appears TO BE a Matter OF Little
Moment. HOwever-The Change Made
on Account Of Quarrel.
The people of Shawnee county will be
interested in knowing that the tower of
the Shawnee county court house is being
completed, not with Berea, Ohio, stone
as called for ia the specification but with
stone from the Warrens burg, Mo, quar-
ries
If the commissioners had decided that
the entire court house could have been
built of the Warreusburg stone in the
first place it would have meant a saving
of several thousands of dollars to Shaw
nee county for there is a difference in
the cost of ten cents per cubic foot, be-
sides the difference in freight
The people who pay for the court
house are not much interested in the
quarrel of the contractors with the Berea
company, but it was this quarrel which
led to the change. County Commis-
sioner T. P Rodgers told JOURN AL re-
porter how it happened that the War
rensburg stone is being used. He
said:
81 heard that the contractors were
about to change from Berea to Warrens-
burg stone, and l went down to the
court house and told them that no stone
could be put in until the board could be
consulted. I was not in favor of allow
ing them to put in any stone except that
called for in the specification. They ap-
peared before the board when we met
! and asked permission to make the
change. Mr. Campbell, speaking for
the board, objected strongly. bur the
contractor explained that the Berea peo-
pie had been stutfing their orders and
said that they had already overpaid
them $500, while the Berea people asked
pay for me extra stone they had put in.
We have had a great deal Of trouble
about having the court house finished,
aud if we had held them to their con-
tract it would have made another delay.
81 talked to G. G. Gage and others
who said that the stone would be all
right in the tower, and so we consented
that the tower should be finished with
! Warrensburg stone. The contractors
agreed TO make reduction amounting
to the difference in the price of the
stone. It only amounts to $50, as there
is but 800 cubic feet more to lay. No
one can tell the difference in the two
! kinds of stOnao

TELEGRAPH OFFICE AT SEA
One to Be on Board Boat to Report
the Yacht Race.

the Yacht Race.
NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Saturday's inter-
national yacht race will be the occasion
of an innovation in the means of trans
hitting news OF the progress in the con-
test between the champion boats of En-
gland and America. Up to this time the
accurate and speedy reporting of such
an event as a yacht race has been at
tended with great difficulty, Watchers
stationed at various points of vantage on
the coast near the course laid out for the
yachts have given the public on shore
the earliest information obtainable.
When it is recalled that observation in
this manner is at distance sometimes of
as much as 10 or 20 miles and that often
a fog and more frequently haze OBJ
structs the view the difficulty of ac-
curately reporting a yacht race may be
realized.
Now however the public of both the old
and the new world are to have prompt
and accurate Information of the yacht
races between D fender aud Valkyrie
l. 1. L as they progress through the
enterprise of the Commercial Cable COM
pany. This company's steamer, Mackay-
| Bennett, will lay a submarine cable to
the scene of the yacht race. The end OF
the cable will be on board and speedily
J connected with England and France
/ through the company's main ocean cable
| landing at Coney Island.
I The Postal Telegraph Company will
also have an Office on board the Mackay-
| Bennett, and will forward kilograms to
all points in the United States and Can

WARRANT BOOK STOLEN.

Suspicious Circumstances In Connection
With the Beatrice Fire Depart mont.
BEATRICE, Neb, Sept 5.-Some little
excitement was caused today when It
was discovered that what is known as
the city fire department warrant book
has disappeared mvsteriously from the
city hall. Since the arrest of Clerk
Phillips and Commissioner Hawkins a
close guard has been kept on the city's
books and records policeman sleeping
in the Office eachtnight, and if the book
in question has been stolen it is certainly
the work of some one who has had &c
cess to the office during the day.
There has been a suspicion that there
was fraud in connection with the pur-
chase of $4,000 feet of hose recently and
the warrants in payment therefor being
from the lost book gives the whole mat
ter a rather suspicious appearance.

BUIEXPECTED TO DO SOMETHING SOON

Judge Culver Of EmpOria Has Severed
His Relations With the Union and
Row Acts Under the Auspices of the
GOOa Templars.
The officers of the state temperance
Anion are busy fighting the liquor traffic
IN their own way,
Judge ]. F. Culver, who soon after the
Fourth of July convention went to Leav-
enworth and found that to be such a
wicked city, is not now working under
the auspices of the state temperance
union. Rev. R Wake, president of the
union. says Judge Culver is working for
the Good Templars and he recently WIS.,
lied Fort Scott in behalf of that organ

but MIR. Wake has made several trips
over the state.
Last Saturday and Sunday he was at

ing. He says there are not many joints
In Burllngame.
A STATE JOURNAL reporter said to Mr..
Wake: "Why don't you go to the towns
where they have lots of joints?"
Because we have to 60 to the towns
where they have no joints to get the
money to do the work in the towns where
they have them"
Mr.. Wake says the work is very en-
Couraging SO far, and he expects to visit
Wichita before long He would have
gone to Wichita before this. but Rev.

KANSAS REAL ESTATE MEN
They VIII Inaugurats a System of Re-
liable Crop Reports.

SALINA, Kas., Sept. 5-The business
of the Kansas Real Estate association was
concluded this morning and a drive Ia
ken this afternoon. On Friday the Mil
lion club will be organized and arrange
ments completed for sending the expo
sition train through the east
The convention was called to order by
President Jameson in Alliance hall yes
terday morning. In the absence of Sec
rotary Balm, John T. Cheney of Topeka
was chosen secretary pro tenn. J. R.
Burton this morning delivered short
address, pertaining mostly to irrigation.
He highly eulogized Kansas and advo-
Gated the idea of storing the rainfull in
stead of allowing it to rush down the riv-
ers and compelling the government to
build dykes along the lower Mississippi
to prevent an overflow.
The report of the secretary was read
and adopted, and then President Jane
son delivered his address, and told what
the Kansas Real Estate association had
accomplished.
The system of crop reports established
by the association is one of ita i'm DOrtant
features, and the reports are sought after
by newspapers as being very accurate
and reliable. 1t IS the intention to or
ganize local association in every coun-
ty, such as now exists in Leavenworth
anu OaLAnd Arrangements Will 10 Aau6
to have reliable man in every township
to furnish crop report once a month,
and from these the report for the state
/ will be made up.
| The state association will be in a po-
sitIon to prevent grain gamblers and
others from sending out false reports
and thus damaging the state for their
own personal gain. The association is
thoroughly represented in several of the
central states, and its list of correspond
ents will be increased until it has rep
resentatives in every county in the
| Union. This will assist in getting i'm
migrants to Kansas and enable informa-
ton to be gained st little cost.
In the afternoon addresses were de-
livered by George White of Salina and
D. R Anthony of Leavenworth. Shor
talks were also made by A J. Felt OF
Atchison. Congressman Calderhead aud

tence, but who soon found them. These.
Mr.. sexton said were the men who con-
troIled the empire, while the poor Brit
