Incident Which Teaches Things Are

The old story of the man who
watched the shadow on his neighbours
curtain until he became convinced that
his neighbours wife was addicted to the
use of long, black bottle, only to find
out afterward that she was exercising
with an Indian club. was pretty nearly
duplicated in the East end not long
ago. A certain resident in that section
happened to look out of a window
late one evening, and there on his
neighbours curtain saw what he consid-

| The other certainly was not his neigh
boris wife. 1t was somebody shorter
and dumpier, and with curls instead Of
frizzes. His neighbor had his arm

against hers. If it wasn't kissing, then
the lookers-On didn't know the symp-

would wait for further developments.

Heavy rains have fallen in the south-

Wheat is stooling nicely, but is max

grasses, which are now almost as tall
as when cut year ago. The grain is

but little is up sufficiently to receive
its first cultivation. The growth Of

LUCK FAVORED THE n. =.
REORGANIZATION Bill Passed in the
" House. xxx

Washington Special, June S--Luck favored
the friends Of the Northern Pacific re-or
gan1zatiOn bill this afternoon. It is prob
able that the bill could not b We been
reached had Chairman Draper Of the com
mittee on patents, failed to find billwhose
passage he had been recognized to movt.
After waiting few moments for Chairman
Diapers bill and it could not be produced,
Cong FRESHMAN Hartman was recognized to
move a suspension Of the rules and passage
of the Northern Pacific bill Mr.. Hartman
opened the debat in favor of the bill
consuming seven minutes in a general ar
gument in favor Of the bill and statement
OF the facts that made it necessary. Cong
ressman Quigg of New York led the oppo-
sition. He represented the creditors of the
Seattle Lake Shore & Northern. The mort
gage on this road was foreclosed by the
bondholders. The bonds had been guaran-
teed by the Northern Pacific. When the
road was sold it failed to satisfy the de-
fciency Judgment against the Northern Pac-
iic Judge Hanaford of Seattle subsequently
held that the guarantee of tn Northrn oce-
ifc was one that the road had no author
ity to make. Nevertheless the creditors
of the Seattl road ar endeavorng to defeat
the reorg anization until their claim is pro-
tected in the legislation. Congressman Quig
represents his interest, but placed his po-
sition on tn ground that the legislation
was of too much Importance to be passed
with + olittle debate
Congressman Tawney then had ten min
utes which he devoted to aexplanation
of the advantages to be gained by the
people along the line of the road in this
legislation. He pointed out that the re-
organization committee could purchase the
road under the foreclosure proceedings and
acquire the property absolutely free from
the conditions which are now being i'm
posed. They could then organize under
state laws, and the people with claims
against the road and the settlers whose
title to their land depends upon the war
ranty ofthe present company would be
left absolutely unprotected. He illustrated
his argument by number of actual in
stances that have been brought to his at
tention.
Shorter speeches were made In favor Of
the bill by Congressman Johnson Of North
Dakota and Doolittle of Washington, en-
phasizing the fact that the representatives
of the states through which the road passes
are unanimous in favor of tie bill. Cong
ressman Daniels Of New York favored the
bill and Watson Of Ohio opposed it. Con-
gressmen Hartman and Quigg then closed
the debate and the bill was passed by a
vote of $50 to IS. Senator Mitchell Of
Oregon expects to be able to pass the bill
in the senate tomorrow with some amend
ments and the bill can be perfected in con-
ference.

TURNED HIS HAIR GRAY.
Prospector Takes an Involuntary
journey Into the Earth

Edward Gunnison, a prospector,
while test-pitting for iron near here to-
DAY, had an adventure that has turned
his hair gray, but at the same time he
has discovered subterranean lake
full Of apparently blind fish, and he.
figures that he is ahead. For several
weeks past Gunnison has been pros
pecting between this place and Duluth,
and has sunk pit on the lake shore,
a few miles north of here. This morn
ing, while pursuing his Investigations,
at depth of twelve feet, the earth at
the bottom Of the pit suddenly gave
way, dropping Gunnison and his pick
and shovel into the subterranean lake,
twenty feet below the bottom of the
pit. The water was shallow, and as
soon as GunnisOn recovered from his
fright, he made an examination of the
cavern inclosing the lake.
This cavern, GunniSOn says, covers
two acres Of water; the shores of the
little lake are of rock; which also
forms the walls. The water is clear
and cold, being fed, apparently by I'M
derground streams. After long hunt
in the darkness Gunnison found that
the lake had an underground outlet
into Lake Superior. The outlet was
large enough Tor GunnlSOn to creep
through to the open air. AS memen--
to of the involuntary trip into the bow
els of the earth Gunnison brought with
him one of the fish, of which he says
the lake is full. The fish resembles a
black bass in some respects, only it is
whittier and apparently blind. 1t is
| now on exhibition here.
Two skeletons, probably of Indians,
We're found in the cavern in which the
lake is located. They were lying side
by side at the mouth of the passage
through which Gunnison crept. They
crumbled to pieces at the touch-Two

SUSTAINS THE TRUSTEES.
Decision in the Duluth andWinni-
peg Case.

decision in the Duluth andWinni-
peg Case.
The United States circuit court Of
appeals filed a decision yesterday
in the now somewhat famous Duluth
&c Winnipeg Railroad company fore
obscure suit.
The decision sustains the trustee in
the foreclosure suit in every particular,
and will probably terminate the litiga-
ton in connection with the foreclosure.
The foreclosure suit was begun, as
the record shows, in October, 1894.
In the winter of 1895, certain stock
holders of the Duluth & Winnipeg
Railroad company interviewed to de-
fend against the foreclosure suit, and
some two months were spent in the
taking of testimony in connection with
that suit. This was afterwards dis
posed OF and a decree entered direct
ing a foreclosure of the mortgage.
A few days before the time fixed for
the sale of the property Foley Bros. &
Guthrie filed a bill against the trustee
of the Canadian Pacific railway, Sir
William G. Van Horn and others for
the purpose Of setting aside the decree
and enjoining all further proceedings
in the foreclosure suit. At the same
time the State of Minnesota also be-
gun an action through the attorney gen.
eral against the same parties to cancel
the mortgage and bonds on the ground
that they were illegal, and also to en-
join any further proceedings in the
foreclosure suit
The lower court rendered a decision
adverse to the state upon legal grounds
presented by the trustee The lower
court also decided against Foley Bros.
& Guthrie. The latter appealed to the
''cuircuit court of appeals, and that court
has just rendered it's decision as above
s1stated.
Foley Bros. & Guthrie as we'll as the
state, allege in their bill that Sir Will
lam G. Van Horne, the president of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad company,
was acting fraudulently and collusively
with the trustee for the purpose of fore
CLOSING the mortgage. The circuit court
of appeals completely enoxerates Mr..
Van Horne from these charges, stating
in substance that the evidence wholly
fails to sustain the charges.
The affdavits and record are very
long, covering several hundred pages,
and the various cases have occupied
considerable time of the circuit court.

Washington, June S.-When the house

interest of certain bonds of the State
of Virginia, the ownership Of which
was assumed by the United States. A
part 'of the Indian funds, $4,000, was
invested in these bonds. and a question
has arisen as to whether the liability
for them belonged to Virginia or to the
United States. This gave the vigilant
Mr.. KEN (pop.. Neb.) his opportunity
to raise the point Of no quorum, where

Electric Light Bugs.

The two species of large water bugs
that have come to be called electric
light bugs have put in an appearance
around the electric arc lights. The
most curious thing about these bugs is
that before the introduction of electric
lights they were considered to be COM
paratively rare. They were seldom
seen, as they were not attracted by or
binary light. When the arc light ap-
peared, however, the bugs became
enormously noticeable. Upon their ap-
pearance in such prodigious numbers
entomologists were of the opinion that
after two or three years both species
would grow scarcer; but the numbers
do not seem to be decreasing in the
slightest. While neither the belostoma
OF the benacus is distinctly poisonous,
both have strong beaks capable of in-
ficting severe wounds, and it will be
wise to handle them with great care,
if at all. The very large black water
beetle will also be seen among the
water bugs around electric lights in
the proportion Of about to 1OO.-.
