EXPOSITION TRAIN.
The Prodnets of Americnn Factories to be
 Shown in Mexican Cities.

There has been much talk in the last few years of q United States Exposition at Mexico City. The Ma rional Association of Manufacturers considered for q time such an Ex position in fact, is still considering gt. Some New York gentlemen Of means and ability, however, are the first to put the idea into effect. They nave planned what will be called the United States Trades Exposition in Transit, with the follwing objects in view To introduce to the Mexican lobber trader and consumer articles of American manufacture by exhibit ing them iu an Exposition train. to wnich the public will have free ad- mission, at the same time ailOrding an opportunity of glviug an object lesson of the workings Of farm tools and all classes o( machinery: and to give manufacturers an opportunity to send representatives or saIesmen with the Exposition to properly represent and introduce their products at about one half the cost Of transportation and living expenses by the usual methods Such salesmen are guaranteed the best travelling and living accommodations thai le seiii ss;;,;s sss;;,s;s;is ant cities cu route can afford, speeial arrangements having been made with the railroads and hotels.
 The cars will be yestibuled into one solid train, forming continuous hall. Special cars are being constructed for displaying agricultural implements, mining machinery, wagons carriages and other bulky exhibits. At each stopping place. the exhibits will be removed from the cars and shown under large canvas, especially made for this purpose. As the rainy season will be over when the Exposition reaches Mexico, these arrangements can be safely carried out. The business manager and an able newspaper writer will travel from one to two weeks in advance of the Exposition, for the purpose of interesting the boards Of trade, manufacturers and merchants, clubs, city officials and business men generally, as we'll as the press, in the coming of the train. The train will be run as a special, and it's movements will be made at such times as not to interfere with Exposition hours. A stay of six months will be made in the Republic stops of such length as the various places will warrant to be made at the following cities: Porfrio Diaz, Durango, Zacatecas, Aguas Calentes, Leon, Guanaiuato, Irapua- to, Guadalajara, Celaya, Queretaro San Juan del Rio, Pachuca, City of Mexico, Vera Cruz, Cordoba, Orizaba Puebla, San Luis Potosl, Tampico Ciudad Victoria, Monterey, Lerdo Chihuahua. Juarez, Nogales, Her mosillo, Guaymas, and, perhaps, other points.
 Tho management of the Exposition has completed arrangements with the Customs Department of Mexico whereby the Exposition train will virtually become bonded warehouse thus exempting the exhibits from all duties except in case of sale. The train will be manned by gentlemen who have made Mexico her merchants and business customs and possibilities of improving our export trade study | The idea Of taking manufacturers traiu through Mexico originated with |

There was some political gossip

indicates that there is likely to be a
lively scramble for the L :, senator

any opposition for a second term
and that for the other state offices
there will be a plethora Of candi-
dates, including the present incum-
bent,s most of whom it l. thought are
hopeful of securing Il third term.

Romance With a Lawsuit Attached.

John Hodgson of Mazomanie be-
lieves he and his aged wife have
been made the dupes of "A clever ras-
cal and he has accordingly brought
suit in the circuit court to have the
conveyance he made of his property
to his wife set aside as well rs that
she has made to f.. ID. Ford. Hodg-
son is So years old. his wife 20. The
property involved amounts to about
$1,000 and consists chiefly of village
property in Mazomanie and a farm
in Iowa county near Arena. Hodg-
son alleges in his complaint that un-
der representations of his wife he
was unable to manage his property
and he had all conveyed to her a
year ago. About that time the
plaintiff sets forth that f.. ID. Ford, "a
total stranger, came to Mazomanie
and pretended to study medicine.
He boarded with the Hodgsons and
it is alleged soon acquired complete
influence over Mrs. Hodgson's mind.
He spent a greater part of his time
with her and the upshot of it all, as
alleged, was that Mrs. Hodgson con-
veyed all her property to him on
Aug. 4 last, by the terms of which
conveyance he was to pay the cou-
pie $3.50 per year. The complaint
stated that it was learned that Ford
intended to dispose of the property,
hence the suit to have the convey
ances set aside. An injunction is
also asked for to restrain Ford from
selling the experimentation Dem

A Type of the True American,

Indeed, the civil engineer seems to
me typical of the highest American
ism in many ways. He is forever
making the best of uewuesSes and
toughuesses and crudities, while
planning something better to take
their place; one hour he IS occupied
with elusive problems OF big flnan-
c~iering aud iudetermiuate estimates
Of probable travel and possible com
mcrcial deyelopment-the next he
may be running a compound curve
between two fixed taugents and eN-
]pcricuciug an exquisite satisfaction
as his vertical hair bisects the rod
and his verujerrcads absolutely true.
The cheapest line in some regions
would be dear indeed. whereas in I'M
settled and barren districts the first
cost must usually be minimized.
There cannot be many professions
which combine such large and COM
