THE democratic press of the state

THE democratic press of the state
is after Hon. William White,
"Warhorse" White, as he is COM
monty called with a sharp stick in
regard to expansion ideas. Well,
it seems to us that Mr.. White has
as much right to express his ideas
in that respect as any Of the editors
and we are believing that the rank
and file of the democratic party
endorse most of his ideas and we
know that a great many Of the
populists do.

and offered their bodies as living
targets for cold lead, and now that
they are about to return, lets show
them in dead earnest, not sham,
that we appreciate their heroism

kickers and pouters may say or do.
The boys are not to blame for the
war, our country called and they
answered.

Whole Farms Missing.

Onawa, Iowa, April 24.-The Mis-
souri, river near this point is doing
great damage to the agricultural lands
that are located along its banks.
Whole farms are being washed away
by the raging current. Burrell Jividen,
who owned farm of eighty acres of
good Missouri river bottom lapd has
only left about twenty-five acres. He
has had his barn taken off the place
and is now arranging to have his
house moqed. A once fine farm of 200
acres, known as the Wells place, has
left only about Fifteen acres of the
former magnificent tract that was so
prolific in the production of corn. The
Penny place is also said to be showing
very plainly the effects of continued
erosion. 1t is said that the greatest
damage is yet to come; that when the
river begint to decline the land will
slide into the river in immense chunks.
it having been thoroughly soaked and
softenad by the water. Hundreds Of
residents of Onawa drove to the river
yesterday to get glimpse of the bad,
~ swollen and raging stream.

The Mail Service.

Although considerable correspond
ence has been addressed to the chief of
the railway mail service in st. Paul
concerning the disccntinuance of the
postal service on the Sioux City and
Pacific railroads train leaving Sioux
City at $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
the railroad committee of the Sioux
City Commercial association made q
visit to the chief clerk while in St.
Paul. They explained the handicap
which the abandonment of the service
was to commercial interests here, the
result being that pouch service was
ordered to be started tonight, before
the committee had even reached home.
The fact was chronicled in the Tribune
last evening, A pouch will be placed
on the $40 Sioux City and Pacific train
for each of the various towns between
here and Council Bluffs.-Sioux City

Story on President Bort

Cheyenne, Wyo, April 26.-General
Rnrt # the Union Pacific have row
reached the line Of railroad from their
overland trip of nearly 500 miles across
Nebraska and Wyoming. A passcn
ger who came in on the Cheyenne 4
Northern Saturday, and who met the
party near Iva says the following i'm
ctdent occurred on the trip The team
hauling the wagon in which Mr.. Bnrt
was Masking the journey was driven
by cowboy without much respect
for the dignified position Of a railway
president. He was, in Mr.. Burt's
opinion. unnecessarily profuse in his
use of oaths in the work of driving
and was demonstrated with several
times. A climax came when the
driver with burst of profanity, cut
one of the horses with his whip The
animal kicked and came within a few
inches of striking Mr.. Burke with his
heels. Then the president said such
methods would have to cease. The
cowboy stoodpat lie said:"See here. il
you think you're on the right of way
you're mistaken This amt Union
Pacific limited and IL you don't like
the way I'm driving you can get of
and walk " MIR. Burt compromised the
fight by taking back seat out Of
reach of the horses, and the cowboy
drove the rest of the way in his own
