A Frightful Death.

Zermatt, Switzerland, Aug. S0.-While
two Enslshmen, Hill and Jones, were as
cending the Mont Blanc, their rope broke
and Jones and three guides were precipi-
tated down the mountain. Their bodies
have not been found and it is supposed
all four men persisted

The accident occurred at an altitude of
a. 100 feet. Mr.. Hill wandered two nights
on the mountain unable to descend. His
escape was miraculous, as the five men
were roped together

president Melen of the Northern Pa
cine, speaking of the car trust, says:
The car trust has not yet advanced
the price of equipment to such a point
that it would be profitable for railroad
companies to build their own cars 1t
stands to reason that a concern which
has all the necessary machinery, skilled
labor and other resources at hand can
build cars more promptly and better
than any railroad company, and it is
cheaper for a railroad to buy from such
concern than to go to the expense OF
building and maintaining a plant. 1t
would be possible for a number of roads
to combine and build a plant to turn
out cars for their joint use, but that is
hardly probable. At least, l have not
heard of any such movement"
The sale of the Northern Pacific's
holdings of Oregon Navigation preferred
stock to syndicate of Union Pacific in
terests is officially confirmed. The
three Northern Pacific officers on the
board of directors, Messrs. Lamont,
Mellen and Carr, offered to resign forth
with, but they were asked by the ma
jority of owners to remain until the
next annual meeting.
The Northern Pacific has not aban-
doned its proposed cutoff from Missou-
la to Pasco, but continues to survey and
grade this extension, which, when COM
pleted, will shorten the main line to the
coast by about $50 miles. The Palmer
Auburn cutoff will make further re-
duction of about 90 miles, so that it will
be possible, in another year, to reduce
the running time between st. Paul and
the coast by four or five hours.
The next extension of the Great
Northern is expected to be in the direc-
ton of the Republic mining district. A
Washington paper says it is known
there that Mr.. Hill has bought the
charter of the Washington Improve
ment and Development company, and
that the route surveyed for this road
forms belt line around the mines.

Old Maids Convention.

Last Friday evening fair sized
but appreciative audience assem-
bled at the X. p. Opera House to
witness the play, The Old Maids
Conventions given by the members
of the Thursday Club. A few min
utes past eight o'clock the mem
bers of the play filed in, down the
center aisle, on their way to the
convention. The costumes worn,
while neat, and tidy and costly,
were within themselves we'll worth
the price of admission, to say moth
ing of the facial expressions, and
actions Of the "cld maids" Most
of the dresses worn evidently were
heir-looms that have been treas
ured away in the old chest of their
grand mothers. The play from
first to last was happy surprise
to all present and those who have
seen similar plays at other places,
pronounced it one of the best they
have ever seen. From the raising
to the lowering OF the curtain, their
was mirth and merriment that pro-
voked not only smiles, but laugh
ter from all. Time and space for
bids our mentioning the superior
characteristics of the different ones
who aided in the play, but each one
seemed especially fitted to carry
out the part assigned them. Every
one present has nothing but words
of praise for the entertainment.
The receipts were $34.9O. This is
neat sum of money which the
ladies will use in obtaining more
books for the library. While the
people have been quite liberal in
helping the club keep up the IL
brary, we would be very much
pleased to see deeper interest
manifested in this noble cause and
more books added to the choice Sc
lections that now fill the book case.
More cases are needed and there is
q strong demand for more books.
We hope to see the members of the
club devise some means so they
may have larger and steadier in
come, and that the library may be-
come the pride, not only Of the
members Of the club, but of every
citizen who will give it their liberal
support, of which it is worthy.

After a long, and yet short dura-
ton of hard toll and trouble our
friend, Henry Schwennecker, passed
from this world of sorrow and woe
to the happy home above. In Sep
TENDER, 1879, he came home from
Missouri where he had been en-
ployed in a lead mine, about three
months. Before leaving there he
was stricken with lead poison; and
after recovering from that he suffer-
ed three-week's siege of malarial
fever. Then on November "a, 1898,
while working for Mr.. Amos lib
ben, in Audubon township, their
team ran away, and in attempting
to catch them Henry was struck by
the sled and thrown in the air, and
in falling he struck his head on the
frozen ground, fracturing his skull
Doctor Riley, of Extra, was called.
and Mr.. Tibben did all in his power
to save Henry and through their
skilfull aid he was recovering and
getting along nicely until anxious
~ awaiting some employment he
secured work with Ed. Gustin in
running a corn shelter. While she'll
ing corn for Joe Wheeler, on March
Sth, Henry had two fingers mashed
in the shelter from which blood
poison set in and at last death was
the result. Henry was born in Hi
nois, February II, 1864, and died on
March H. 1898, in Extra, at the home
of Fred Wahlert. He was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Schwennecker
and the body was brought to the
farm of his father, in Audubon
township, and the funeral was held
at ten o'clock on Saturday. Rev. L..
B. Tabor preaching the sermon, and
the remains were laid away in the
Schwennecker Cemetery.
There is no words so fraught with grief,
None press the heart so sore;
For which no hope can bring relief
As these sad words" No More"
He kneels upon another Shore
The last frail links are riven;
The drooping heart will droop no more,
1t is the shore of heaven.
And as white hosts of futtering wings,
The brightness dart and shine
Far in the depths an angel sings,
