Towne Couldn't Get There.

A very pertinent feature of the polit.
ical functions of the week was the I'M.
mistakable sentiment toward that
prince. among us, Hon. Charles A.
Towne. At any of the meetings all
references to Towne, as to Governo,
Lind, we're received with marked ap.
plause. Disappointed at the mishap
(the storm preventing his fulfilling the
West hotel engagement, references to
him there brought out tremendous ap.
plause, the Same as greeted the senti.
ment he wired from Washington, which
was as follows:
"The snow blockade unfortunately
keeps me from your board. The party in
power daily adds proof of the subservi-
ency to force threatening the perpetuity
OF the republic. The tyranny of the
money power ana the .despotism Of the
trusts are to be supplemented and per-
petuated by military absolutlsm, made
plausible by colonial establishment
The Democratic parties and it's allies re-
main true to the high principles of 1896
to the sublime greatness of the Declare
ton of Independence and to the stead
fast faith of their fathers, all of which
will be gloriously INDICATED by the
American people in 1900"

tary, the clerks, doorkeepers, messer-

which the president may use accordin g
to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the white

Used by the direction of the president,
is provided by the nation, and is always
expended. For fuel alone $4,000 is al
lowed, and for necessary repairs to the
greenhouse there is $4,000.
Altogether the presidential "fnding''
annually amounts to the snug sum OF
$64,s65, nearly $4,000 year more than
his salary. The two aggregate STA

but it is small compared with other

get our president rather cheaply, aft.

Chaiking the Car.

Old Mr.. Tuttle was green but shrewd
Vermont farmer. His son "Jim" went
to Boston, succeeded in business, and
came home visiting. When he went
back the old gentleman, upon urgent
invitation, went back with him, "to see
the sights" " #
g At White River Junction they got off
and went into the lunch-room to get
something to eat. Just before he entered
the door, Jim looked round. and saw the
old gentleman at work making mark
on the outside Of their coach.
Why, father, what are you doing" he
shouted. =s.z. 4 .

Road Prospects.

1t will be remembered that several
years ago, $4,000 in county road
bonds we're sent to Lamprecht Bros. e.
Company, Of Cleveland, Ohio, they being
the highest bidder therefor, with insufic-
lent precautionary measures to assure
collection on delivery. They received
and negotiated the securities, but went
down in the financial squeeze before
temitting to the county. The present
county board has endeavored to collect
1.-THE amount due, an unpromislng judy
ment being their only success.
Under date of February 18th, County
Attorney Auholee received letter from
NJ. B. & II. II. johnson, attorneys, Ct
Cleveland, stating that Lamprecht Bros.
co1laterals had appreciated somewhat in
value, and that they were anxious to
make compromise settlement with the
county. They offer $4,000 These attor-
neys advise a compromise, Getting the
fact that speculation and adverse fnan-
cial possibilities may crowd the firm
again. but stated that they believe the
amount named is too small. II is proba-
bic that at least $4,000 may be- realized
and if SO, we presume the board will
accept that amount. The problem of a
winter road to the Cook county line will
be solved it this money is received.

Unfortunate MfsaDprehenafo

A story~of Lord Russell of halloween,
as told by himself the other day,
shows how risky a thing it may be,
after all, for prisoner to speak in his
own defense. One such, who seemed
to be really making out his innocence,
the lord chief justice, who had missed
a mumbled word, interrupted with the
question: what did you say? what
was your last sentence?'' #. Three
months, my lord" said the crestfaIlen
Prisoner-pleader, It is hardly neces-
sary to add that the lord chief justice
forgot his admission, or remembered
it only in the prisoners favor, when
that particular sentence had to be
passed. t ,st.*.= S.

Fast Mail 70: Seattle

The widespread public interest.in the
contest for the fast mail contract be-
tween Chicago and Omaha has caused
ono to temporarily overlook the similar
achievement Of the Great Northern rail-
way in establishing quick mail commu-
nication from New z ork via Chicago and
st. Paul, to Seattle, and thence to the
Orient. The fast Pacific mail service by
way Of st. Paul to the Puget Sound
country is now quite as remarkable as
that via Omaha to San Francisco. On
January Bird the Great Northern placed
in service fast through mail and pas
senger train from Chicago to Seattle, on
which the mail pouches never once leave
the car after the transfer at ST. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time ~
this Northern route is just four days.
East of st. Paul the mails are carried on
several roads, but west of the cltY-on q
run exceeding the eastern portion by 500
miles-the mail goes through without
change across five great states on the
tracks of the Great Northern. Forty-fve
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago and thirty minutes
in St. Paul. After that the Northern
Oriental flyer does the rest without a
pause until the Asiatic mails go on board
the steamers of the Japan Mail Steam
ship Company. Both the Importance of
Seattle as an Oriental shipping point
and the speed of the Great Northern
transcontinental mail service make the
achievement a noteworthy feature Of
American railway progress. -.
The Puget Sound cities have already
become formidable rivals of San Francis
CO as regards the freight and passenger
traffic for Japan, China, and Asiatic ports.
The steamer route from Seattle to the
Orient seems to be- more free from
storms than that from San Francisco,
and as large proportion of the Oriental
exports are products of the Northwest
the freight traffic has naturally taken
this course. The fact that the full capac-
ity of the japan Mail Steamship Com
pany's toats is engaged as far ahead as
next August, is in itself striking proof
of the growing Importance of the Orien-
tai trade that has It's outl. tat Seattle.
For these and other reasons the fast
mail to the Pacific coast, for which the
Great Northern holds the government
contract, is fully as important as that
which daily rushes across the plains and
mountains to San Francisco. The Great
Northern has been as much alive to the
keen rivalry for speed and honors as
have the Northwestern, Rock Island and
Burlington, and it IS but fair that the
achievements of it's fast daily transcon-
tinental mail should be included in the
new chapter of railway advancement now
being written by the Western railroads

BOOKKEEPING B. C.
Discovery of Clay Records of Bust
ness Transactions, Temp.
Darius III.

An American archaeological expedi-
ton excavating at Nippur discovered
recently in room 20 feet below the
surface some $50 clay tablets, the bust
ness records of a rich firm of mer-
chants, Ulurashu Sons. These docu-
ments are dated in the reigns of Artax-
erxes 1. (464-424 B. c. and Darius II.
(423-495 B. C.). The tablets are of va
rious sizes, some resembling the or
binary cake of soap of commerce.
They are covered with cuneiform
characters clear and distinct as when
the bookkeeper of Ulurashu inscribed
them 1850 years ago, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Among them is this guaranty for 2(
years that an emerald is so w"u set
that it will not fall out:
"Bel-ahiddina and Bel-shumu, sons Of
Bel, and Hatin, son of Bazuza, spoke
unto Bel-nadinshumu, son of Morashu

cludes with the thumb-nail marks O.
