Down The mississippi in a Skill.

Mr.. ]. G. Lyter is at home from a
southern trip in the interest of DR.. w.
G. Whites patent medicines, which
have a large sale in this and other
southern states. Mr.. Lyter tells of his
220-mile journey down the booming
Mississippi last week in an 18-ioOt
skilf. There was one other passenger
in the frail craft, besides the oarsman.
The river is miles wide in places and
swift from the high waters They stop
ped at every landing where there was
a store and spent the nights on shore.
In the daytime all through the rainy
weather, the men sat in the open boat
only protected by gum coats or UNI
brelas. In order to appreciate the full
meaning attached to such a perilous
voyage one has only to remember that
the mad waters OF the Missippi are at
places so wide that land is invisible in
many planes, whilst the current was
swift and the winds were high, so that
the little boat bounced like cork On
every wave In answer to a question
Mr.. Lyter responded that although he
was 10 days making the journey of go
miles, including the stops, he enjoyed
the adventure. Mr.. Lyter is rather
late in taking water in snch large doses.

Mr.. Danial Mitehell's return to Mad

of the confederates that followed Nor.
gan through what is known as his
Ohio raid, rather an interesting incl
dent of that memorable journey.
1t was the duty of Mr.. Mitchell, with
others detailed from the various COM
panies in Morgan's command, to forage
and bring provisions for the rapidly
moving army. 1t was noticeable that
Mr. Mitchell brought in more provis-
ions than any of the other foragers, and
the reason for his good luck in gather
ing the provisions naturally created
favorable comment, aud inquiry was
made of him how he happened to gather
in so much
Mr.. Mitchell explained his good for
tune as follows:
"When my horse broke down was
compelled to get another horse orsbe
captured by the Yankees, SO, as a mat
ter of self-preservation, 1 was forced to
press into service the only animal l
cold find which was a mare with a
yearling colt. desired to get rid of the
colt and traded it in good faith for
provisions. But the colt bounded out
OF all his new enclosures, as often as l
traded him and 1 then learned
that he could almost jump the
moon and had become attached to the
army as we'll as to it's dam. Since my
first swap traded the colt flor at
least a thosand dollars worth of provis-
ions and there he stands ready and in
good shape for more service"

details here. But the monster combi-
nation of money, called the trusts,
whose methods contemplate the bribery
of Congresses and Legislatures and
even the control of courts, must be de-

should have public ownership OF all
these franchises which are now in the
hands of the great railroads, bridge and
electrical companies and other combi-
nations Of kindred sort Above all we
should have the initiative and referen-

power of the people at the polls to pro-
pose or pass law or, if needs be. press
to repeal a law in spite of any action by
venal or corrupt Congresses or Legisla-
lures.
