Take a Trip to Jacksonville
Florida-L Little Falls
Represented.

The Jacksonville, Fla, Times
Union, OF Dec. 8. has II lengthy &C.
count of the visit OF party OF
Northern lumbermen and capitalists
to that city. One Of the party, } ohm
B. White. of Grandin, Mo-, gave a
banquet to the visitors on the even
ing of Dec s, at the celebrated St.
James hotel in that city. The paper
says that the party Of sixteen was a
notable one, and quotes Mr.. Camp
bell, of the st. James as saying:
II am safe in saying that no dinner
in this hotel ever drew together men
representing more wealth. [ should
not be surprised if they could buy
Jacksonville two or three times, and
then have some pin money left. One
OF the guests EMPLOYS 1000 men, and
if the proportion is maintained down
the line Of sixteen, then then aggre-
gate of the men they will employ IS
equivalent to the male population in
a city l12 times the size of our pre-
entious city of j Jacksonville.
Among those in the party were,
F. Weverhaeueser, president of the
Mississippi River Logging company,
of st. Paul; W. H. Laird, president
of the Laird & Norton Lum her COM
pany, Winona; Charles Weyer-
haeuser, manager of the Pine Tree
Lumber company, Little Falls, MINI.

Decision Against Van.


Justice Gaudet, yesterday. rendered
his decision in the case OF the Plano
Manufacturing company against
Van Coil, of Randall, which was
tried before him last Tuesday. The
suit was brought by the company
to recover on a note for $40. given
by Van Coil in part paymentfor two
wind mills. Van Coil put in a count
er claim for $50 for q note which he
delivered to person who claimed
to be general agentfor the company.
The note was to be sent to the COM
pany, and If the company considered
the note good it was to be received
as r payment for two more wind mills,
9th erwise it was to be returned to
Mr.. Coil. He alleges that the note
was never returned to him, nor did
he receive the machines for which
it was issued. There was no evil
dence to show that the company
ever received the note, and as the
question Of agency was not clearly
proven q decision was rendered in
favor of the company.

his ice skating rink ON Broadway
near the bridge in first.class shape
for skating.
The rink was again flooded last
night from one of the city hydrants.
and it's entire surface is as smooth
as glass, and will afford the very
best of shating to those who at
tend the grand opening tonight.
Now that the weather promises to
he good for skating Mr.. Morrison is
making elaborate preparations to
have special events ON the holidays,
which will include fancy skaters,
races etc., and which will undoubt-
eddy prove very interesting to those
who enjoy outdoor sports.
The rink is i5Ox25O feet, surrounded
by n high board fence that will
protect the skaters from the cold
breezes that make skating uncom-
Portable on the river, and is lighted
by electric light. an arc light being
placed at each end of the rink. 1t il
supplied with two we'll heated and
lighted waiting rooms, and in fact is
provided with everything necessary
for the comfort of it's patrons.

MORE FREQUENT.
Railroad Surveys for New De-
pots Rapidly Increasing
in Number.

In the past it has been the the GUS
tom Of the Northern Pacific to make
careful surveys for new depot sites In
this city every year or SO, but the
present management shows more
energy in that line than ever before.
A survey was made here II Jew weeks
ago. and another ia now in prog ress.
Engineer Darling arrived Monday
with an increased corps Of assistants,
and promptly located Il Transcript
reporter, and gave for publication
such details regarding the new de-
pots as have been formerly omitted
from these columns. MIR. Darling
makes no effort to conceal the in
tentions of the company, and pro-
duces maps and letters from the
head officers of the company that In
dictate beyond doubt just where all
the dcpots win be located.
The depots will be located. as a
rule, near the main Travelled routes
of the hotel tusses, and where con-
venient the railroad tracks will be
placed in the neighbOrhOOd ~
freight that is to he shipped-butthe
interests of the busses will first be
carefully guarded.
II the plan of having several depots
around and about the city works al
well as it promises to, there will he
strong sentiment in favor Of estab-
fishing several more pOstOftices-
some of them at convenient points.

About three years ago, when the
people of this city protested against
the removal of the postoftice to an
inconvenient location, Postmaster
Medved informed them that they
were "threshing straw" His ad-
dress to the public meeting of
hundreds OF citizens was about as
follows: "What are you kicking
for, hey? Amt the postoffice moved,
hey? And amt you threshing
straw, hey? Don't you act like
childred, hey? when you get up a
big meeting about something you
can't help, hey? Amt it nearer for
me to walk from home, hey? and
amt I postmaster, hey?" He then
explained that he knew there would
be a "kick,'' SO he quietly secured
permission to move, without giving
public notice. and now that he had
moved he Iidiculed any interference
on the part Of the public. That is
about his attitude now regarding
the wretched service he gives the
patrons of the Office. 1t is now the
regular rule of the Office to not have
the night mail distributed until con-
siderably after O'Clock in the morn
ing, and it is probable that Mr..
Medyed regards it as ''threshing
straw" to make any protest. 1t
will not be half so funny to Post
master Medved when "threshing
cabbages" begins.

School Children Donate.

The school children of the city
schools engaged in the very COM
mendable work OF raising fund to
assist the Benevolent Aid society in
their work of providing Christmas
gifts for the poor children OF the city.
The children entered into this work
with a will and their efforts were
crowned with success, for they not
only raised the sum of $40 by small
contributions, but also secured two
wagon loads of supplies to be dis
tributed among the poor OF the city.
The children are certainly entitled to
praise for the good work.

PROGRAMME E
Of the Measures to Be Considered
by Congress This Week.
The Cuban Resolution of Senator Nor
gan Will Be Pressed to q Vote.
The Legislative and Judicial Approprla-
tion ELL win BE Disposed of in the SEN
atc-Thc Arkansas Bill VIII BE Com
sidcrcd-No House Programme.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Thc failure
of the senate thus far to act upon the
questions involved in the Dupont case
and on the conference report on the
Cuban resolutions retains them in line
as unfinished business for the coming
week The senate's attitude toward
the Cuban resolutions has been ma
terially affected by the joint resolution
offered at the close of Friday nights
session by Mr.. Morgan. 1t is under
stood that lie will press his joint reso-
luton to vote, if for no other reason
than to put the senate on record.
The Legislative and judicial appro-
priation bill, which il, in charge of Mr..
Cullom, will be called up at the first
opportunity. The provisional changes
in the compensation of United States
marshals and district attorneys from
fees to salaries will doubtless cause de-
bate, but otherwise there is little in
the bill that should prccipitate discus
sion. The bill to approve the compro-
mise made between the United States
and the state of Arkansas holds it's
place as the unfinished business, but
Has ltOJ pEcSScu IL.
Beyond Monday, which under the
rules is to be devoted to the consider
alton of business reported by the COM
mittee Oh affairs of the District of
lumbia, there is no programme of
business arranged for the house of
representatives this week. Chairman
Babcock says he will have enough
business to engage the attention of
the house for an entire session un-
less some wholly unexpected op-
position to some of the measures on the
calendar from his committe shsuld de-
velop.
The naval appropriation bill, owing
to differences in the committee having
it in charge, mainly over the appropri-
ations for battleships and for dry docks
has not been fully completed. and it is
not expected to be reported before the
latter end of the week. That had been
depended on by the managers to occupy
most Of the time beginning Tuesday
and they have nothing of large import
ance to take its place. Two minor pen
sion bills of a general nature are on
the calendar and an opportunity will
doubtless be afforded to press them &C
| passage
The committee on ways and means has
before it for discussion and action at
its meeting Tuesday, the filled cheese
bill, reported from the subcommittee
last week. Those particularly inter
ested in its progress believe that the
full committee can agree upon report
that day. Should that be done, the bill
will doubtless be taken up day or two
later. 1t will be vigorously fought in
the house, and long debate is certain
to ensue whenever it does come up.

HUMAN BONES.

A Ghastiy Find That May Reveal II Crime
Committed Years Ago.
PARIS, Tex, March 23.-A CHASTITY
discovery was made in this county, near
sulphur Creek, that doubtless reveals
a horrible crime committed many years
ago. While blowing in a new piece of
ground which had recently been added
to the Lewis Merthena place, which
was settled about fifty years ago,
one of the hands turned up a lot
of human bones where a thicket
of young bushes had been clear
ed away. Investigation showed
that they We're the skeletons of
three human beings, a man, woman
and a boy about ten years old. A few
feet apart from them was the skeleton
of dog. The bones were blackened
by fire, but not charrcd. All of the
skeletons were complete. none of the
bones being decayed. They are now in
the possession of DR.. Sliidmore, who
says that, in his opinion, log heap
had been burned over the bodies, that
had destroyed the flesh.
