leyville operator, presided.

The next great industrial exposition
to occur in this country will come off at
Omaha next year. It opens June and
continues till the LIST of November. In
all respects it is believed this will be
the most important exposition ever held
west Of the Mississippi river. It GER
tainly will be so far as the show Of live
stock is concerned. The resources Of the
vast grazing country of our west and
southwest will be displayed in strik-
ing manner. The month Of October will
be devoted especially to the exhibition
of animals, domestic and otherwise. No
doubt the timber wolf. the fat steer
weighing a ton and the Kansas jack rab-
bit will be there cheek by jowl. The
name of the show will he the Trans
mississippi and International exposi-
tion. It is, however, hoped and expect
ed that manufacturers, merchants and
agriculturists all over the United States
will exhibit their wares and contribute
to the success of the affair. The mining
exhibit will be the most interesting
ever seen in this or any other country.

invented coarse meshed linen fabric
which he recommended to all who de-

loose mesh admits air freely and at the

country that the manufacture Of the

at Portland, Or. The flax to make the

and that is why the factory is placed
there.

CAPTAIN Holsters TROUBLES.

The troubles of Captain Hostler OF
he steamer Wilmington Hall are driv.
ing him to madness and making him
white haired. And it is all about theol.
og-.
Months ago Captain Hostlcr, q
worthy British sailorman. left Colon
DO, Ceylon, with a crew made up Of the
inhabitants of that place. Colombo is
noted for many things, one of them be-
ing a varied assortment Of religions.
The shades of theology were so fully
represented in Captain Hostler's crew
that every blessed heather Of them
seemed to have different religion from
the rest and call to impress his own
particular species upon his messmates.
From Colombo to New York there was
continuous circus of the monkey and
parrot type.
The MohammcdHn felt it incumbent
on him to say bis prayers at sunrise,
looking toward the "'>.. '9!ile in these
profound devotions the Buddhist would
slip behind the Moslem and welt him
over the head with an iron Delaying pin
to convince him OF the error of his
ways. The Arab would not pull on the
same rope with the Lascar, because his
religion declared that if he did so he
would be unclean. Time out of mind
pork has been the sailors stand by, but
part of Captain Holsters crew would as
soon have eaten baby as piece Of
pig. Others brought with them live
sheep to be killed by themselves for
meat during the voyage. They would
be accursed and consigned to the lowest
depths if they ate meat killed by the
Christian unbeliever. They slaughtered
the animals down to the last one, which
was female sheep, struggled in on
them by mistake. 1t being against their
religion to kill eve, the unfortunate,
captain could neither make mutton Of
the old thing nor throw her overheard,
so she had to be brought along to New
York, where she made him trouble with
the quarantine authorities. Captain
Hostler is now wondering how he is 60
ing to get his shipload of religions
home again.

Republicans Will Control

CHAIRMAN HAcKErTs STATEMENT
Rumors Of fractional Strife Denied-Cit-
liens Union Men WIN Act with
the Republicans.

New YORK, Nov. 11.-Chairman CIV.
Hackett, of the repu blican state COM
mite, has given out the following state
ment concerning the organization of the
New York legislature
"The republicans have elected a sub
stantial majority in the next assembly, F.,
and will organize the body. The returns
as canvassed officially make 1t certain
that the republican vote in the next
house will exceed the democratic by at
least IL. A republi will be elected
speaker, and republic ideas of legisla-
tion will prevail in the sessions, The
lower house will be in sympathy with
the republican senate and the republican
governor. The rumor of factional diff
ferences and the claims of democrats
which have been circulated with the
manifest purpose of confusing the peo-
pie of the State as to the political COM
plexion of the assembly, are not worthy
of serious consideration.
"Eighty-one republicans have been
elected to the assembly. Two of them
from New York city were nominated by
have been always with the republicans.
Doubtless on considering and acting
upon legislation effecting municipal af-
fairs they will be guided to some extent
by the views of those responsible for
their nomination and election, but on
qustions involving party considerations
it is as absurd to suppose that they will
join the democrats as that the democrats
will rally under their leadership.
''There is nothing in the avowed prin-
ciples of the Citizens Union as l un-
derstand them, which would compel
men holding the ideas of either great
party to abandon them and take up with
their old-time opponents. Even if such
an absurdity were possible there are
still enough representatives to guaran-
tee that republican speaker will pre-
side, and that the legislation will be di-
rected along the lines OF. established re-
publican policy
