WON'T REMOVE HIM.
Secretary Bliss Says There is No
Reason for Granting Demands
of the Sioux Indians.

Washington, Oct. 81. - Word has
reached the interior department of
trouble threatened by band of young
Sioux on the Pine Ridge agency in
South Dakota, who are reported to

braves, who threaten to take steps
themselves unless the secretary orders
the change. there is nothing <on file
at the department that is adverse to
Agent Clapp, that the agent is an army
officer who is executing his duties sat
isfactorily, and that the question of
removal or transfer is not to he enter

THE POSTAL SERVICE
Facts Regarding Transportation of
Mails Taken from Second Assts-
tnntPostmasterGen

Washington, Oct. 31.-The immense
work of transporting the mails
throughout the United States is dealt
with in the annual report of Second
Assistant Postmaster-Genera William
S. S. Shallen berger, which has been
made public. The main feature of the
report is vigorous arraignment of
existing star route methods. Mr.. Shall
lenberger refers to the present system
OF speculative bidding for star routes
as "discreditahle to the government"
The report shows the number of mail
routes at the close of the year was 81, ,795;
total mileage 4S0.46l, anS averaging on
each route nine trips per week. There were
4S4SS2.6 69l miles Travelled on these routes,
costing almost $l07 per Eli,e of length ca ch
or almost sl2 per mile travele.. The total
annual rate of expenditure for both routes

TWO NEW RAILROADS
Without Doubt the Northwestern and
Ft. Dodge s Omaha Will Build.
CENTRAL PEOPLE HERE.
Two Gangs Meet in Denison Sunday and
Proceed to Work. Where will
They Locate the Station:

Ihe topic Of the week has been along
the line OF railroads Everybody seems
interested and on Sunday many were
out north of town viewing the new
railroad camps. New gangs of graders
are coming into Denison, on Sunday six
car loads of graders were unloaded, and
the men started for camp in a manner
which means business There are three
camps between Denison and Deloit.
Green McAhren will commence grading
for the Northwestern on Wednesday,
and will put on full force of men.
All work will be done in thirty days.
The rights of way have been pur
chased from Denison to Wall Lake,
with the exception of three pieces near
Denison, owned by Chas. yoss E. Fink
and Harry Fink.
1t is now an assured fact that the
Illinois Central OF Ft. Dodge & Omaha,
as it will be called, will be built and
will run almost parallel of the North
western to Arion, past Dow City and
strike Dunlap near the south part of
town. From Dunlap we are informed
the road will run south to MOSQUITO
Creek and to Crescent where it will run
along side of the Northwestern into the
Bluffs.
At Denison there is much speculation
as to where the Central will locate their
depot. 1t is understood. the road will
come down most of the way on the East
side of the River and cross about mile
north of town and locate depot and
yards on the fair grounds. Also that
the road will run East at Mr.. Wilson's
and down past the old Drake place, east
of the College and depot on the baseball
grounds in east Denison. This hardly
seems probable although no doubt they
are anxious to be near the Northwestern
depot on account of passenger traffic.
One of the Centrals men is quoted as
saying that the company will build if
they are compelled to tressle the North.
western all the way. Thus it will be
seen tsat Denison is assured of two new
roads Property in Denison has ad-
vanced twenty-five per cent in the past
two weeks and indications are that the
advance will continue.

The MeetinS
The American peace commissioners,
each carrying portfolio containing
records and personal memoranda, left
their headquarters in the Continental
hotel for the meeting with the Span

Spanish commission, Senior Montero

precarious as to threaten an indefinite
adjournment of the sessions of the com
missions, has improved to the extent of
enabling him to attend Mondays meet

closed carriage with his colleagues
shortly after the Americans reached
the meeting place.
Shortly after two o'clock the ten
commissioners confronted each other

From the Chicago Tribune.


The most remarkable railway In the
world has for its motive power not steam
or electricity, but balloon.
Stranger still, the official stamp of ap-
prevail has just been put upon this most
marvellous railroad, which goes to and from
the summit of Hochstauffen mountain, at
Bad-Reichenhall, the well-known watering
place in the Austrian alps. The Aerostatic
railway-to give it its correct designation
owes its inception to the weIl-known in
ago convinced the experts that his scheme
was perfectly feasible and safe. A single
rail guides the cars, and keeps the balloon
with it's load captive, the cars gripping
the rail at the sides and underneath the
1ange. At about every fifteen feet the line
Is firmly anchored. In descending the
mountain, of course, gravity is the pro-
Polling force, water ballast being taken
aboard at the upper end to counter-b balance
the buoyancy of the balloon. The cock on
the water tank of the car can be opened
by the operator at any time. The tank
carries about 800 pounds of water, and tank
and car together weigh about 600 pounds.
and eXerts a lifting capacity of something
over 1900 pounds. Weights, also, can be
taken aboard and discharged at the various
stations along the line. At the foot of the
track are the gas tank and generator The
summit of the Hochstauffen offers a sub
timely beautiful view, but before the ad-
vent of the Aerostatic railway the climb
was both long and tedious. 1t was only
attempted by experienced mountaineers.
