Massachusetts, closely in the production Of

than one-quarter Of the wines consumed in

BOOMING A RAILROAD.
The Orators Last Sentence Did the Busi-
ness for the Road.


In the old days of the southwest Tough
opols had been promising town on a great
trail, but the railroad had run in far to the
north of it, leaving it out in the cold and
for years it had thriyen, no one could or
would say how. Lately7a boom came, says
the Detroit Free Press and there was a
prospect of railroad tapping it, and the
citizens were enthusiastic, They talked rail-
road and dreamed railroad, and finally held
a meeting on the subject. The chairman
made the opening address.
Friends and feler citizens" he said, in
thunder tones, I'VE have met here this
eyanin' to take some action on this yer rail-
road that is promised us ef Wen do our
sheer to'rds gittin' 1t. Our city fer ye'rs
has set with folded hands, while less favored
places has gone to the front a-whoopin'.
The time has now come when we air called
upon to come TO the front ourselves, and we
have got to do IT or bust. Bust, | say, feller
citizens, fer we air almighty nigh busted
right now. The raj foad, feller citizens
stands fer progress. Ell we he'd that railroad
today we would be different kind NV people.
We would hey moren We hey now, and
he'd that railroad runnin right past our
doors and farm houses and workshops we
wouldn't hey TO go fifty or seventy five miles
er even hunderd In all kinds Of weather
TO hold up a train, but We could do it right
here at home and the wilderness would bios

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Iowa Falls Citizen: Ex-senator Harlan is
SO much bigger and so much more able than
any other man so far mentioned IN connection
with the republican nomination for governor
that comparisons are odious.
keokult Constitution: There are a number
of little girls in this city who have social
circle Of their own that is very unique. At
different times they meet at the house of some
one Of the members and enjoy several hours
very pleasantly. After gathering they have Il
contest to ascertain who can remain quietest
the longest. The one who first speaks or
laughs is awarded the BOBBY prize, and the
one who holds out the longest gets the prn-
cipa award Then games are played and re-
freshmeuts served, and the merry little COM
pany breaks up TO meet again at some later
date.
Des Mones Leader: The democrats of Iowa
are as numerous and as ready for Eight as
ever in their history. Their chosen leaders
seem to have deCamped and stampeded, but
the army is here and anxious to go into
action. The thing now TO do is to call a
state conference and get in shape for work.
Perhaps the rank and file Of the party may
bc able to instill courage enough into the
chaps who have heretofore gone to the con-
ventions and have coaXed and pleaded and
pulled wires to have themselves elected Off
GERS in the democratic party to enable them
to attend this conference and assist in outlin-
ing policy.
Dubuque Times: There could be nothing
more absurd than holding the United States
mails from two to three hours in Chicago for
| the sole benefit OF three or four Chicago
| papers. II all mails started from Chicago
| and there alone. there might be some excuse
| for waiting until all mails had been gathered
| but half or two-thirds of the mail matter for
| the west comes from beyond Chicago, and
detainng that for hours to accommodate the
Chicago papers is subordinating the interests
of the whole west and northwest to the claims
of the few. If it be necessary for the Chicago
papers to leave just when they do there is nj
| reason why special trains should not be rur
| in their interests alone. If the public will no
! to make ii pay let the Chicago papers con
| tribute. The present methods are grossly un
| fair and should be remeded.
Davenport Democrat: President Stickne,
| of the Chicago Great Western railroad is
railroad man with original IDEAS His road Il
as liberal as any with its patrons, and does a
much as any to retain their good will and t
| help them to make money, and incidentally t
make some for itself at the same time. He i
| touring his railroad system and making ad
dresses to the farmers on his lines, urgin
them to devote themselves to smaller farms
| to grow the crops that are in demand, to di
versfy and rotate their crops, and to suppl
tho American market with those articles o
agricultural produce that are now imported
| Potatoes, he mentions, are imported to tn
extent of 100000 900 bushels a year. II
wants the farmers OH his line of road to max
money for themselves by raising potatoes til
the foreign crop shall be shut out. His hea

Van scievcr IN again.

T. w. Van Sciever, the lawyer who dis
tinguished himself in a number of bold
schemes of fraud in this vicinity and finally
got FIVE years sentence in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison as the result of sharp
cattle deal in Monona county, is wearing
stripes again. The Los Angeles, Cal, papers
announce that after a long and stubborn
fight against his fate he has been sentenced
to five years Imprisonment in the San Quen-
tin penitentiary. His crime was the embez-
element of $1,000 from woman client. Van
Sciever has given numerous instances of
his ability that are painfully familiar to
many Council Bluffs people, but the act
that he is proudest of, aud which brought
him the greatest returns for the least effort,
was the embeZzlement of about $4,000 from
Walter Raleigh Vaughan, now of some
where in Chicago. He accomplished this last
spring, and within a few months after his
from the Los Angeles sheriff after jumping
his bail bond He had been in hiding a few
days in Indiana and took little run up to
Chicago, where he met Vaughan. They were
old acquaintances and had fraternzed here
In the good old days when Vaughan was
mayor of Council Bluffs and Van had not
been caught in any Of his fine work When
they met in Chicago Vaughan was hard
pressed for little money. He had picked
up some mining claims out in Nevada and
1t occurred to him that Van was Just the
man to get some money out of the property
for him. The papers were put into his pos.
session and Van started out In very short
time he managed to shake $4,000 out of the
bag. He put the cash in his pocket and
neglected to give Vaughan even the satlsfac
tion OF holding the empty bag. Vaughan
could never even succeed in having him ar.
rested or effecting compromise by which
he could get penny of the money.
