A Map of the United States.

The new wall map issued by the Bur.
lington Route is three feet four inches
wide by four feet long; is printed in six
colors; is mounted on rollers; shows every
state, county, important town and rail-
road in the Union, and forms very de-
sirable and useful adjunct to any house
hold or business establishment.
Purchased in lots of 5000 the maps
cost the Burlington Route nearly 20 cents
apiece, but on receipt of IS cents in coin
or stamps the undersigned will be pleased
to send you one. Write Immediately, as

That Fast Run.

S. CLAYTON, brakeman in the employ
of the Burlington, has done up in rhyme
the recent record breaking run on tha
road from Chicago to Denver in abou
eighteen hours, as follows:
A millionaire in New York
Who did not want for gold,
Had a son who lived in Denver
Who was dying he was told.
4 moment of meditation,
And then message few
To one of the officials
At Chicago on the co..
He said thousand dollars
He would pay to them with joy,
IF they'd land him in Denver
In time to see his boy.
Now Chicago is the center
For four competing lines
All of which run to Denver
And claim the fastest time.
This offer was made public
And the four competing lines
At once commenced to figure
On the distance and the time.
But then it was question
If it was in their power
To make trip to Denver
At sixty miles an hour.
The poor man was heart-broken,
When he heard that three had said
That the time could not be made
For the living nor the dead.
The Burlington took the contract,
And arrived two hours ahead
Of the time in the agreement;
But, alas! the boy was dead.
It was not the thousand dollars,
But to prove beyond a doubt
That the safest and the quickest
Is over the Burlington Route.
The above is from the pen of forme,
Sig Clayton, now residing al
Lincoln and braking between Lincoln
and Ravenna.-Grip.

To the Honorable Members of the

lieving that justice demanded
Tan extra session, have taken
the liberty of again convening
you so that you may know the
condition of affairs as they exist
at the present time in Washing
ton City, ID. c., concerning the
tribal government of the Chicka-
saw people.
In compliance with the law
p2ssed by your honorable body
ia luary -, 1897, III company
with commissioners duly APP
pointed. | visited Washington
City, ID. c.. and on our arrival
there found that the agreement
between the ChOctawS and
Dawes commission had been
fled for ratification by congress,
and without delay we fled our
protest against the ratification
Of the same as we were instruct
ell to do bv the law under which
we were acting.
/. Our protest had the desired
effect ard defeated the ratifca-
ton Of the same, aud owing to
the limited powers given us 10y
the law creating the commits
sion, we failed to negotiate with
the Choctaws or the Dawes
commission, and having com
pleted our work as near as we
could, we made our report on
the 18th inst, a copy of which
is hereto submitted for your
consideration.
Being satisfied that nothing
would be done by the Choctaws
without the consent of the
/ Chickasaws, and a portion of
the Chickasaw commission had
departed for their respective
homes, to our astOnishment
there was reported from the
senate committee an amend
ment and placed on the Indian
appropriation bill in order to
secure its passage, which if it
passes in its present shape vir-
tually destroys us as a nation,
paralyzing our executive de-
partment, destroys our judiciary
and administers on our estates
without our consent, regardless
of our vested rights. ! with the
remaining commission joined

senate against such an extreme
an unjust measure, a copy OF

CITY NAN IN THE COUNTRY.

We who live in the cities never know
about the country. We imagine that
we are the only ones who get the ad-
vantages of modern inventions, and
that the farmer plays around in the
mud the same as he did when we were
boys.
Why, l learned more during those
two days on the farm than | ever eX-
pected to know about farming. Now,
you helped to thresh when you were
boy. l did, know. l can't date
back to the time when the men used
to cradle the grain and then beat it
out with fails, but happened along
in the time of the reaping machines.
The self-binder hadn't come in yet.
We used to thresh the grain with one
| of those horsepower separators that
you could hear miles away when it
got to grinding. You know the kind,
| suppose five or six teams of horses
going around on the power and man
up on the big cogwheel platform in
| the centre cracking a whip over them.
| That kind of a machine was a horse
killer and no mistake. 1t took about
| five minutes to get it started and it
was pulling all the time. Then if the
| feeder happended to let wet sheaf
| get in crosswise the cylinder would
stick and every horse would go up in
| the air.
You probably remember that when
| the traction engine came in every one
said that it was the final improvement
| 1t knocked out SO much grain that
| the separator had 10 be fed from both
sides-two band CUTTERS two men to
| put the grain into the wagons and
| three or four men to stack the straw.
| Did You ever work at the tail end of
the machine as they used TO call it?
Had to wear goggles, you know.
ChafT flying so thick that it got in
| your ears, nose and mouth, down
your back, sticking to you and tick
| ling wherever you were wet with per

Well, when | was at Ezra's | went

ENGLIND IND HER COLONIES.

1t seems as though the ONLY way
along which a sure step can be taken
towards consolidation is that of impe.
rial defence. In common contribution
TO common navy there is a policy at
once feasible and fruitful. To the
Australian colonies belongs the credit
OF taking the first step in this direc-
ton. Their contribution to the navy
was, however, purely colonial con
trlbutlon for colonial purposes. The
cruisers they supplied were under the
agreement to be confined to Australian
waters. Even with this businessIike
stipulation it was ii fine example to
set the other colonies. Cape Colony
so far has been the only colony to
profit by it. On July 10 MIR. Goschen.
the first Lord of the Admiralty, an
nounced to a brilliant gathering at st.
Georges Club that he had that morn
ing received the present of first
class battle-ship from Care Colony.
The gift was unattended by any CON
dltions The ironclad is to be placed
freely and unreservedly at the dir
posal OF the Admiralty. The prime
cost OF first class battle-ship is some
thing under $1,000, 900. The revenue
of Cape Colony is a little over S25, 900,
900. She is therefore setting apart,
unasked, one-tifth of a whole years
income for the purpose of imperial
defence. The Cape Parliament has
yet to signify its assent to this gift,
but there seems no reason to doubt
the result Of voting. No more splen-
did proof could be given of the pas
sionate loyalty which holds the En-
pire together. And that sentiment
of loyalty is the backbone of the
British Empire. No cut and dried
scheme of federation can knit the
nations together with the intensity of
that unchanging patriotism. The
present enthusiasm in England may
lead TO nothing tangible in the wav Of
consolidation. Nothing tangible is
wanted. AL the colonies need is the
assurance that England is proud of
them, is determined to keep them,
and if need be will protect them with
all her force. On that foundation of
goodwill and sympathy the British
Empire is indestructible.
