4 GREAT NORTHERN EXTENSION.

President Hill Credited With II Desire
for q Chicago Outlet.
CHICAGO, Nov. "a project is under
way for extending the Great Northern
railroad to Chicago. 1t is the outgrowth
of a deal whereby a belt line was to
have been built around Milwaukee, but
which fell through, owing to the scheme
of constructing a Great Northern con-
nection to this city. There is every
reason to believe that within a couple
of years at the latest the through line,
now only outlined on paper, will be in
operation. Several conferences have
already been held with j. J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern, and the
Eastern capitalists interested. One Of
the conferences was upon the question Of
Extending the Great Northern
from Superior to Milwaukee and Chi
cago, the object being to give the Great
Northern an outlet to the lake and rail
centers OF business and a through all.
winter route. AS a result of these re-
cent conferences it was found that the
great railroad protector and operator
had already considered the same scheme
and looked favorably upon it. He said
frankly, however, that the present was
no time to undertake such an enter
prise, but he felt that some time in the
not distant future the plan would be-
come a possibility and a very practical

The World from Pachuca, Mexico,
says: New; comes from Texacapa, a
small town inhabited by Indians and
Mestizos (half- breeds), that 10 persons
were burned there as heretics by order
of the auxiliary town judge. He claims
he was acting according to the will OF
God, manifested to him in all extraordi-
nary vision, accompanied by certain indi-
cations Of divine wrath against heretics
and people leading immoral lives. The
dispatch adds: AS soon as the news
reached Mollango, the principal town in
the district, the municipal president
and minor officials, with a escort of
over so men armed with rifles, went to
T%exacapa, where they found everybody
in the public square,

building solidly constructed, close to
the parish church. In this Jail previous
to Saturday had been confined Nicolas
Hernandez, Martin Santiago, Jose
Manuel, Casper Hernandez, Juan
Tomas, Juan Tomas, Jr., Maria Juana,
Maria Magdalena, Maria Conception
md an infant child. They had been
lrudely hustled from their homes at
dead of night on the extraordinary
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
judge that their lives were an evil in
the sight Of God, and that they were
enemies of the faith and heretics whom
God had ordered through His holy saint
to be consumed by fire. The auxiliary
judge related this with the utmost
sangfroid to the authorities. He added
that God had wrought astonishing
miracles to confirm what the saint had
told him in the vision.
Obeyed the Divine Command,
Said the judge: Il obeyed the Di-
vine command and ordered out my con-
stables and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness Of night, weeping and wailing,
to the Jail. When they were locked
securely i'll I ordered the constables to
set the building on fire"
Twenty-one arrests were made al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners
securely bound around the arms and
chained together, We're marched to
Mollango, where a judicial investiga-
ton will take place.

NOTHING BUT RUMORS AS YET

No Actual Developments Reported in
Great Nrrthern Trouble.
ST. PAUL., Nov. 5.-The threatened
trouble o. the Great Northern road has
developed no new phase locally, so far
as could be learned. There were a num-
Der Of rumors around, but inquiry
failed to verify any of them. 1t was
said that some Of the men were about
to quit work on some divisions of the
road. Certain persons interested in the
matter, but not affiliated with the
American Railway union, said it was
highly improbable that anything of
that kind would occur for a few days
at least, if at all. So far as the rail
road people are concerned, they are not
believed to be apprehensive of any
serious trouble, claiming that the great
majority of employees have no griev-
ances and are not in sympathy with the
men who came to St. Paul last week.
Secretary Keliher Talks.
Sylvester Keliher, general secretary
Of the American Railway union, was
seen and said:
Il have sent kilograms to all the
lodges along the line of the Great North
ern road, asking for an immediate reply
as soon as action is taken in regard to
the Great Northern situation. AS rail-
road men are not always in a position to
attend a meeting at a moments notice,
I may not get answers for a day or two
yet. Meetings will be held all along
the line and all the men will have to be
given a chance to vote. Those who are
out on their runs will have to cast their
votes on their return. OF course, 1 am
u%nprepared to say what action the men
will take, as the whole matter is decided
by vote. Under no circumstances will
a member of the A. R. U. be permitted
to pass an opinion on the question of
whether there is to be a strike or not"

TO ANNUL THE TRUST DEED.

West Superior Steel Company Raises a
Vital Point.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Nov. 5.-The
answer OF the West Superior Iron and
Steel company i'll the case brought by
the Central Trust company of New
York to foreclose Il trust deed of 81, 300,-
600 on the property, has been filed in
the circuit court and the case will come
to trial at the next term. The defend
ants main allegation is that the bonds
and mortgages Of the trust company
were all issued to them without any
authority whatever from the stock
holders. The laws of Minnesota, un
der which the steel company is organ
lied, require a majority vote Of the
stockholders before a mortgage can be
valid, and it is claimed that this
authority was never given.

Something of MIR. Fields Life.
Mr.. Field was born in st. Louis Sept.
2, 1850, and was therefore DO years old
at the time of his death. He was the
son of Roswell Martin and Frances
(Reed) Field. His parents were both
natives of Windham county, Vermont,
and his American ancestry dates back
to the Pilgrim fathers. His father
graduated from Middlesbury college
when only Is years old, became a law
yer and introduced a bill in the Yer
mont Legislature permitting atheists to
testify in courts Of law. He was bred
SCOTS first attorney i'll the case which
resulted in the famous bred Scott de-
cision by the United Safes supreme
court.
After finishing his education, he
adopted the profession of a newspaper
writer, beginning with the St. Louis
Journal, in 1872. His next connection
was with the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette,
in 1875, after which he returned to St.
Louis to take an editorial position on
the Times-Journal. In 1880 he was on
the staff of the Kansas City Times, but
left that paper in 1881 to become man
aging editor of the Denver Tribune.
He came to Chicago, Aug. 10, 1883, to
accept a position on the editorial staff Of
the Chicago Morning News, now the
Record, and his connection with that
paper continued without interruption
until his death.
Mr. Fields Last Contribution.
Mr.. Fields last contribution to his de-
partment in this paper, s'Sharps and
Flats" was published Saturday morn
ing and in it was a characteristic de-
Tense of Bill Nye and a refusal to accept
the imputations as to the cause of the
recent assault on the humorist at Pat
erson, N. j.
In addition to his newspaper work,
Mr.. Field has found time to perform
much extra labor in the literary field,
and has established a reputation as a
graceful and clever writer of stories and
verse. His last poem Of pretension was
"Dream Ships" published in the Octo-
Der Ladies Home journal. He was
especially adept in the poems and stories
of child life, and his printed books now
number half a dozen volumes. He has
also made himself familiar to the public
as a reader of his own stories and
verses, having at different times ap-
peared jointly with Edgar Wilson Nye
and James Whitcomb Riley.
Among his better known books are
the "Denver Tribune Primer" 1882;
"Cultures Garland" 1887; Little Book
of Western Verse;" 1889; "Little Book
of Profitable Tales" 1889; second book
of verse, 1892; "With Trumpet and
Drum" 1892; ECHOES From the Sabine
Farm" 1898.
Mr. Field married Miss Julia Com.
