cooling breezes and pure air OF the su-
perior attitudes of the hills of New

when the tide of travel sets Rp across
Lake Winnepesaukee, The Weirs be-
comes an attractive, busy, but exceed
ingly cool and pleasant place. Those
who contemplate passing the summer in

of attractions within easy reach, will
find an ideal place in the New Hotel

In the United States, as long ago as
1890, Republican Congress passed an
antitrust law. The layman who reads
will come to the conclusion that it is .
very strong law. Whether it Is or not,
no Democratic Congress has undertaken
to make 1t more effective. Indeed, the
theory of Free-Trade is to let trade
take care of itself. 1t Is the doctrine of
go as you please. On the other hand,
all antitrust legislation of national
character, and all In most the States Ia
the work of Republicans, says the In
dianapolis Journal.

New Paper IN Des Moines

New Paper IN Des Moines.
Judge S. r. Davis, formerly editor of
Creston Citizen, and H. M. Belvel, of
Des Moines, have purchased the
Gazette Citizen, of Des Moines, and
will run it as a democratic paper.
There has never been any reason why
democratic paper could not be made
to pay in Des Moines, and we believe
these two gentlemen will demonstrate
the fact that democratic paper-the
peoples kind of democracy, not the
Leader's-can be made q success in
Des Moines. Judge Davis, the editor
of the new paper, is one of the brain
lest men in Iowa-a man who believes
in government "of the people, by the
people, for the people" and he knows
how to manipulate his pencil in
such manner as to let the people
understand what he Is writing about.
He has been an unflinching enemy of
the trusts and combines and believes
!! that the greatest good to the greatest
number IS the true theory of govern
ment. Mr.. Belvel, . IN business man
ager of the new paper is hustle, from
"way back" and he will see that the
business end of the new paper is Hooked
after as it should be. We wish the
Gazette Citizen immense success.

Illinois central Defeated

Denison, Jan. 8, 1S99.-The decision
handed down by Judge Church on the
Injunction case in which the TT. Dodge
s. Omaha railroad attempted to keep
the Boyer Valley railroad from taking
ali of block twelve and thecontroversy
over block Is was wholly in favor of
Central was beaten in everything they
asked for. To say that the majority
of the people of this town did not like
the decision is putting it mlldlyindeed.
It may be the result Of sending the
Illinois Central away from the town q
mile or two and to all outward appear
ances Just because the other road does
not want them to be nearer. In the
meantime 1t will delay work possibly
on both roads.
The decision against the Illinois
Central, as shown IN the above, may
compel that road to entirely change
its route into Omaha. Among other
questions involved in the suit was that
of the Illinois Central crossing the
Northwestern tracks at grade, the lat
ter road in their action against the
Illinois Central sought to compel the
former road, to erect over head eros
sings wherever they crossed the NV.
right of way. John F. Duncomb
president of the proposed road, states
that it would cost his road the enor'
NOUS sum of 100000 it it is compelled
te erect the overhead crossing system.

Women Are To Take a Hand.

Omaha Bee: The equal suffragists
of Iowa are trying to arrange boy
colt against the Chicago s. Northwes-
tern Railroad company. The Polk
County Equal Suffrage association of
Des Moines has passed resolutions to
that end. This was in Difference to
the request of President Ellen Henro-
tin of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs of the U. S. The COM
plant of the members of the organiza-
ton is that the management of the
company is discriminating against
women in the way of employment.
The local officials of the road regard
the matter rather in the light of a
joke and hardly credit the report that
the women of that organization are
taking the action attributed to them.
They admit that ifthey should do such
a thing it might become serious.
Though nothing officially is known of
the alleged discrimination against
women by THE Northwestern, the re-
port has gained circulation that all
women who have not been in the EN-
ploy of the Northwestern for over two
years will be relieved and men put in
their places. The same rumor is to
the effect that in future no women will
be employed by the company. There
is no disputing the fact that in the
past great many women have been
employed by the Northwestern system
and up to the present the local officials
have not heard of any of them being
/ discharged.

western, while at headquarters re.

female employees on account of the
rumored order against future employ
ment of women, but if there was any
thing to the discrimination it did not
seem to be known at Chicago.
When asked what action if any, the
Omaha Woman's club will take in the
matter number of the local mem bers
stated that 1T has not been considered,
1t Is impossible to say how the Omaha
women regard the proposition, but one
or two of the most prominent figures
IN the club suggest that they are per.
sonally inclined to take the position
that Omaha is not directly concerned,
