LIVE TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.

In the camp at Falls Church. Va. are
| a number of veterans who fought with
Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. From
Falls Church to the Blue Ridge Mount
aims, which separa,e the Shenandoah and
the Loudoun Valleys. is a trip of not more
than thirty miles. The panorama of ma
ture presented on one of these ridges
is one of the finest in the world, and
those soldiers now in camp. to whom the
scene is familiar. have taken advantage
of their nearness TO the old fighting
ground to visit 1t once again.
Among those who made he trip this
week was an officer of a Western regi-
ment. who took his wife along With him.
At Round Hill they hired a vehicle Tor
the ascent of the mountain. The driver
had. been one of Mosby's men.
AS the officer and his wife were being
driven along he INDUCED in many remi-
niscenses of his experience in the valley
during the Civil War There was just
a little bit of vainglory in his narrative
of personal adventures. Several times

Bebel the socialist leader. Is defendant
in a case for slander begun by a man who
was for several years a resident of Chi
cago. This mans name is Carl E. Fink
He disappeared rather suddenly in 1899.
under charge of forging some bills of
exchange and disposing of them at their
face value to William A. Jung. who keeps
a resort in Randolph Street, md to the
then steward of the German Press Club
of Chicago. named Heinrichs. Here in
Berlin. where these antecedents of his
were not known at the time. he speedily
succeeded in obtaining a prominent edi-
torial position on the special organ of
Baron Stumm the Berlin Post which is
about the most reactionary of all German
dailies. In that capacity he was incau-
tious enough to publish something which
attacked not the political but the private
character of Bebel and other socialist
leaders in a most venomous manner and
Bebel when this publication was quoted
against him in the reichstag by Stumm
and Baron ZedlitZ, replied by saying that
the pamphlet was 2 tissue of lies. and
that the man who had written them was
Il fugitive from justice and a forger of
bills of exchange. Fink then committed
another piece of inprudence. He be-
gan suit for slander against Bebel The
latter was brought up for trial in a Ger
lin court last week | will add that if
the court convicts him Bebel will proba-
bly, get a term in jail, for the German
laws as to slander are very strict; and
it is not sufficient TO prove that the othe:.
party has committed about every crime
in the decalogue to substantiate a case.
but it mus. be proved in court that he
has done precisely that thing. and in the
manner charged, the statement of which
constituted the alleged slander. Another
point is that Bebel is the bes.-hated of
all socialist leaders on account of his
prominence and his fierce speeches

NJ TROUGH CHURCHILL.
Chosen Route is via Saltwater
to Wadsworth.

After sizing up the situation very care
fully and making Il full allowance for the
slips or OF any slips that may possibly
occur through altered circumstances
| we are led to believe that a branch line
OF the Central Pacific will within q year
be built from the iron mines in Hum
holdt county through Churchill county
via saltwater and to Wadsworth. The
readers OF the DISPATCH or the majority
Of them know that the editor of this pa
per served a eeven years apprenticeship
in a snperintendent's Office in the SER
vie of the railroad company ami should
know something of the business. A
careful investigation by him ofthe con-
ditions surrounding the probability and
possibility OF the building Of
this. branch line by the route pro-
posed and asked for by the people Of
Churchill aud the people of Wadsworth
shows him that intellie ent railroad Of
ticers would not and could not take any
other, fair and impartial and friendly
people asking it. Those people do ask il
and we deem the conclusions We have
drawn to be correct under the circum-
stances. The Central Pacific, for in
stance, has always found friends in the
masses of the people of Churchill and
her county officials have been guided
accordingly in their official acts. The
anne may most properly be said of the
people OF Wadsworth who have arrived
at this end by seeing more Of the right
side OF the Central Pacific than perhaps
rould other p, ople. We do see every
Kind act to US as a community and we
10 see many individual acts Of kindness
and many eases of timely consideration
wherein the performance meant every
thing to some ~despairing family or
some poor devil from whom hope had
departed. These kindly feelings that
have lasted and have continued through
the years should be II factor In giving
Churchill and Wadsworth this feeder 10
the Central Pacific. Through informa-
ton authoritive We can say that il
Churchill and Wadsworth will comply
with certain oonditions--and the condi-
tions tho people have already ssid they
would comply witi,--the branch road
win be built by the route proposed. The
conditions and terms asked of the COM
pany owing the properties by the
Southern Pacific Company have
practically already been agreed upon
and with that out of the way We see no
thing to hinder. So far as We can learn
the iron deposit embraces a full ten
miles square of ore containing a percent
age OF lrm that will pay 10 work, a
supply inexhsustible for many year,
TO oin That large freight traffic mus,
| decide the need Of the road and the live
stock, minerals, farm products, etc OF
Churchill will add no inconsiderabl.
tonnage. The pIacticahility of the rout,
via Churchill as against that into Love-
loo k IL SO apparent to the railroad maj
that we will not now take any time t,
discuss it. Double headers or addition
al crews, time, grades, attached expen-
Sc, are all items that figure with the
railroad builder. The road will be built
through Churchill via Saltwater into
Wadsworth. The powers have said il
and the fstes command 1t.

New Road Law Not in Effect This Year.

Some of our people seem to be under
the impression that there has been a
change in the method of electing road
commissioners, path masters, ETC., or,
rather, that the new road law passed by
the recent legislature goes into effect this
year. This is a mistake, as the 2lst sec
ton of the set provides that "the provis-
ions of this act shall not go into effect un-
til the sum of one million dollars has
been appropriated by act of Assembly,
or shall have been received in the State
Treasury from taxes for road purposes,
the same to be distributed under direc-
tions of the Department among the sew
eral townships of the State in proportion
to the number of miles of public roads in
each township"
The legislature not having made the
million dollar appropriation, on account
of lack of funds, it will be evident to all
that the new law does not go into effect
this year, and in consequence, the sew
eral townships will pursue the same
course as heretofore in the matter OF
electing road officers and conducting
road affairs generally.

Tornado in Arkansas.

The most terrible tornado ever known
in the southwest burst upon the State of
Arkansas on the night of the 18th inst,
when doubtless a hundred or more lives
were lost, and millions of dollars worth
of property destroyed, The exact num-
ber of lives lost will probably never be
known. At Fort Smith alone more than
two score are reported lost, and upwards
of 81 200, 900 in property gone.
The stern tore its way through tho
entire State, leaving its path marked by
death and desolation. Men, women and
children asleep in their homes were with
out a moments warning awakened to
meet death under falling walls or iu the
flames which soon engulfed many of the
wrecked buildings.
With the crash of the storm business
blocks. handsome dwellings, hotels and
cottages We're leveled to the ground aud
scattered in shapeless masses.
Some of the wrecks caught fire and the
intlammable timbers bvrned furiously.

The fierce wind of last Thursday
night upset Mr., Lawrences swinging foot
bridge over the creek, and broke one of
the two wire cables by which the floor
of the bridge is suspended. This is the
second time this convenient little struc-
ture has been torn down, making it
rather expensive for the owner. Repairs
can not be made until the water falls con-
siderably, and a good body of ice forms
on the creek.
An extensive deal in coal lands took
place one day last week when the Hall
N Kaul Company, of st. Mary's, Penn
sylyania, sold to the Western New York
and Pennsylvania Railroad Company
eight hundred acres of valuable coal
rights in Elk county, fifty-seven miles
of railroad, with north and south con-
nections, and several working mines
which employ over two thousand men.
The sum involved is upward of 81 900, 900.
This assures to that region another COM
peting line to the lakes.
Mrs. c. j. Dean, a former resident of
this place, writes of Mis-. Leases lecture
to friend as follows; "The church of
Eternal Hope, was crowded TO its utmost
capacity to listen to a lecture on "Ire-
| land; her Poets, Warriors and States
men," delivered by Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
| Lease, and all agreed that it was the
most wonderful effort ever listened to by
a Bradford audience. Her description of
Ireland's struggle for liberty was deliv-
el ed with such pathOs as to bring tears to
the ewes of the whole audience. She is
without doubt one of the most eloquent
orators on the American platform"
The editor Of the East Brady Review
has evidently struck one of the rough
edges of a newspaper mans life when he
gives out the following: "Did you ever
notice how many nice complimentary
things you can say about some people
aud they seem to think it is all right and
their due, but laws a'massy just critcise
some of their acts ever so considerably

Auditor General Mylin has issued a
circular letter to County Commissioners
in relation to the duties eff the mercantile
appraiser. He insists that appraisers
shall personally visit all stores or other
places of business liable to mercantile
tax, and says that no license is to be
assessed where the annual amount Of
sales is less than $1,000. If dealers in
liquors sell other goods than liquors, then
they must pay a license for tho sale of
said goods. Dealers in live stock are ex-
empt, and must not be assessed. Butch
ers who sell the meat Of animals they
have slaughtered are also exempt, but
those butchers who purchase and sell
dressed meat are liable TO the payment of
license. All foreign or resident dealers
or firms who have a shop for the sale OF
meat apart from the slaughterhouse must
be taxed. Appraisers are instructed to
assess all owners of restaurants, eating
houses, etc., not selling liquors.
