1t is said the following regiments will
be transferred: Sixth Illinois. Sixth
Massachusetts, Eighth Ohio, Third and
Sixty-fifth New York, First Rhode ISL
and and Thirty-third and Thirty fourth

All these regiments are well equipped,
and have been ordered to secure full

Srlendidly Equipped,

One of the finest and best equipped
railroads is the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul. On our recent trip through South
Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois we
tried this railroad and know whereof we
speak. The road is splendidly equipped
with fast trains; the coaches are all fur
nished with the latest improvements, and
it is pleasure to ride with these people.
They employ but sober and industrious
men, who constantly look after the COM
fort and safety of the travelling public.
Anyone travelling in the above or adjoin-
ing states should take the Milwaukee
road by all means if it is convenient to
do so. II you wish information concern
ing this excellent and popular road ask
any ticket agent, or write to G. ]. Eddy,
General Agent. at Portland, Or, and he
will gladly give it.-Genesee (Idaho)

A good story is told of would-be Con-
gresham Cushman that is up to date.
While 10 a North Yakima barber shop
the other day, leading republican law
yer remarked: 81 am sorry W. L. Jones
is going to debate with Lewis at Walla
Walla. "Why?" asked Cushman.
swell, my reason is, Jones is too honest.
By the way, Cushmsn, you are the man
to tackle Lewis in joint debate" Cush-
man is still wondering what the other
fellow meant, anyhow.
Inasmuch as the names OF the repub-
lican candidates appear first on the Off
cial ballots, it is feared that the similar
ity of the names Of W. G. Jones and W..
l.. Jones, respectively fusion and repub
lican candidates for congress, will cause
fusion votes to be mistakenly cast for W..
l.. Jones. All the fusion voters should
be warned in this regard and vote the
peoples party ticket by placing an Y after
the name and thus insure your vote be-
ing counted for the right man.
The partisan fever has struck the news
paper correspondents this campaign sea-
son with great viruence. 1t is amusing
to note the wide diversity in the senti-
ments of the various reporters OF politi-
cal meetings. The 7. l., represented by
J. Howard Watson, reports the debate
between Jones and Lewis at Walla Wal
la as great victory for Jones. The
Spokesman.Review, on the other hand,
shows the very reverse. Bryan's name
"set the house wild" When Lewis sat
down, the Review says, "the house fairly
went wild until the plaster loosened. The
true result of the debate will be seen on
the night of November the eighth.

On April 19, 1886. Gen. Houston, with
about 200 men, gave battle at San ia
cint0 to Santa Anna, with nearly three
times the number of Mexicans, and, in
spite of the disparity of numbers,
Houston's little force swept the Mexi-
cans like chaff before the wind. 1t
was more slaughter than battle.
Just before the assault of the Texans
was made on the army of Santa Anna,
Houston addressed his soldiers in q fer
vid speech, closing with these words:
Remember the Alamo" These words
fell upon the ears of the Texans with
wonderful effect. Every soldier in the
little army at the same instant re-
peated the words "the Alamo" until
the word became shrek for revenge
that struck terror to the souls Of the
Mexicans. When the battle was over
1t was found that only 70 Texans had
bean killed, while G30 Mexicans were
left dead on the field.

There are more than twice as many
blind persons in Russia as in the whole
Of the rest of Europe. They number
10000, which is equivalent to two in
every 1000 of the population. 1t is
believed that blindness in Russia is SO
prevalent because of the length OF time
which snow lies on the ground, and
also owing to the uncleanly habits of
the people. Among all this number
only 200 or 300 are able to read, and
only about $500 are cared for In in

the conversion Of water into steam

fuel. A little water makes q fire

THE AMERICAN NATION.
Il Must Now Take lis Place Among the
Worlds People.

The vlrile nations OF the earth are
five. the grown, strong nations. the ma
u0ns that are trying to develop civili-
cation. They are the United States.
Great Britain, Germany. Russia and
France. The development OF the world
is In their hands, and the best Of them,
the two that have the highest ethical
ideas with their civilization, that can
do most and best for the world, are
Great Britain and the United States.
These two nations IL they win only
work together, can put their veto on
the rest OF the world. They are the
best Of friends, they make no entang-
ling alliances and do not need to; but
If they can only understand each other
they can control the worlds history.
They ought to do 1t.
our nation Is now to be a world pow
er. We are to be felt, and we will be
felt only FOR good, In the worlds poli-
tics. We cannot escape our destiny,
and We do not want to. We have a
mission, and must accomplish 1t for
liberty and humanity, our institu-
tions, our freedom, have been a lesson
70 the world, and such liberty il the
worlds only hope 1t Is our duty to
help the world to such liberty: not to
stand behind n safe rampant and give
them our worthless moral sympathy.
