The Youths Companion.

No paper of any character which
reaches our exchange table compares
with The Youths Companion in inter
est. 1t is attractive in appearance,
like the face of IA loved friend, and is
always filed with interesting news
matter. After one has made its ac-
quaintance he never loser interest in
its pages. Ostensibly published for
the young people it is, nevertheless,
just as interesting we might say
fascinating for people of middle life
and old age as for those Of more ten
der years. The Youths Companion
is a periodical which all publishers
can unqualifedly endorse and en-
Enthusiastically recommend to the read

An Inspiring OCCUPATION.

There is one occupation to which
many young ladies and girls are addicted
mot to mention their older sisters. and
some men, which possesses an absorb
ing interest for the rest of man
kind-that of chewing gum. We could
spend much time in watching the beau
tiful, cow-like motion of the jaw, the
wrapt, slightly up-lifted face of the
average maiden, as she bends all her
energies-and a part OF her mind-to
the enhancing task OF demolishing a
piece of chewing gum; but we haven't
the time. We have to tear ourselves
now and then, to attend t. the
more hum drum affairs OF life. and gath
err IN the shekels with which to buy
ink, potatoes and mackeral. But we
protest that we are perfectly sincere in
this matter. What could be more inter
esting than the gentle wag, wag. wag of
the jaw Of some lovely girl or matron,
while her countenance is DER spread by
a calm contentment that speaks the un-
troubled mind. When we get wealthy
we intend to spend all of the spare time
we can, from cutting coupons from
government bonds, in the pleasant past
time Of enjoying the gum chewing dis
sipation.

RALLY.
The Burning oratory of General John
Charles Thompson-He "Views
With Alarm" and points
With Pride"

General Thompson spoke to some
of the faithful-and a great many
that were not faithful-here on Tues
day evening, there being a very fair
audience out to hear the first demo-
cratic speech delivered here during
this campaign.
Attorney NJ. B. Moore presided and
Edward Haggerty, Nose Dose, Charles
Z. Clemmons and j.. r. Doty sat on
the platform.
General Thopmson was introduced
and made one Of his characteristic
speeches, viewing with great alarm
the boyle of TRUSTS" and proving Ito
his satisfaction, at least, } that the re-
publican party had been recreant to
every promise and every pledge.
He informed his audience that he
had just heard over the telephone
that Grover Cleveland had made the
prediction, which would be published
in yesterday mornings paper, that
there was going to be a great land
slide in favor of Bryan and that he
would be elected by an overwhelming
majority. We venture to say that
our people will look in vain for the
confirmation of that statement, for if
the Sage of Buzzard's Roost has brok-
en- his silence then we may confident
ly expect the Sphynx to give up its
secrets for, hitherto, no power has
been able to get him to say a word in
Bryan's favor.
Thompson's speech was comforting
to the faithful, but we make the pre-
diction that not a single convert was
made to Bryan-or Thompson-by
the speech of Tuesday night.
Thompson denied in the most en-
phatic manner, that he had said that
the woman's vote was easy to get,
easy to manipulate, or easy to retain.
We will speak of this matter in an
other article, for there is no doubt,
whatever, but what he did say ex-
actly what was imputed to him.
Thompsons speech was a great dis
appointment to the more intelligent
part of his audience in that it was
grotesquely ridiculous, from every
point of view, and an appeal to the
prejudices of mankind.
After the speaking the hall was
cleared and dancing to excellen mu-
sic was INDUCED in until l o'clock.

A Woman Freighter.

One of the interesting sights of this
country is a woman freighter. Mrs.
John Ferris, for that is the woman's
name, owns a good six horse team and
a couple of wagons which she drives
between Battle Lake and the railroad,
hauling freight. She is an expert
driver and handles the whip like an
old stager. She is strong and loads
and unloads her freight, asking odds
of no man. She makes a good living
and handles more ready cash which
she can call her own than half-yes
two thirds-of the men freighters in
this country.
Mrs. Ferris is about As years old
and has been in the business of
freighting for the past 20 years. She
enjoys out door life and thinks moth
ing of camping out wherever night
over takes her. She has the respect
and esteem Of everyone who knows
her and she is more to be relied upon
in a business way than most men. 1t
is an interesting sight to see her
perched up on a high wagon seat,
%iourshing a six horse whip and max
ing every horse in the team do his
work or taste the silk"

H BURLINGTON.
Is to be Extended From Guernsey West
to Elk Mountain and Through the
Saratoga Valley to Salt Lake.

The following special dispatch from
Guernsey to the Denver Republican,
gives some interesting facts concern
ing the coming of the Burlington to
this country on its way to Salt Lake:
"All doubts about the real inten-
tions of the Burlington railroad in
this section are at an end and it may
be truthfully said that inside of twelve
months Guernsey will be a very i'm
portant division point on the Burling-
ton transcontinental railway. From
a reliable authority it is learned that
the, company will at one build a line
from Kearney, Neb., to Bridgeport,
on the Platte river, where it will merge
with the present Alliance Guernsey
line, and from this place the road will
be pushed to Salt Lake via the Elk
Mountain coal fields, with branch
lines to the copper and gold camps of
southern Wyoming. Branch lines
will also be run from the Guernsey
Salt Lake road south to Lyons, Colo,
penetrating the rich North Park
country, north to the Yellowstone
Park and south from the Billings line
to the park via Cody and Thermop-
oils"

ENTHUSIASTIC REPUB-
LICAN MEETING.
General Donzelmann Addresses a Large
and Interested Crowd at Jensen's
Hall Monday Evening.

HAL MONDAY Evening.
Monday was an ugly stormy day
but a very large audience turned out
to hear General Donzelmann speak
on the issues involved in the present
campaign.
The meeting was opened by the
Saratoga Orchestra, which made SPLEEN
did music, after which the General
IA introduced and for an hour and a
half held the audience with his elo-
quence.
The General is an interesting and
convincing speaker and the manner
in which he handled imperialism"
"Anti-Expansion" and TRUSTS" left
nothing to be said. Mr.. Donzelmann
gave some very interesting facts con-
corning the condition of the working
classes in Austria and of the manner
in which the people of the old country
look upon the American people and
their form of government.
The labor of that country is paid
starvation wages. Railroad engineers,
the highest class of labor in that
country, are paid SIS per mouth and
a percentage of the coal they save,
the railroad companies allowing them
so many pounds of coal per mile.
But other kinds of laborers get a
mere pitance for a days work. In one
case which came under the Generals
personal notice a man, his wife and II
year old daughter were, by their
united efforts, working in a factory,
from Z a. m. until Z p. m, enabled to
earn $3.50 per week. 1t is easy to
see how, under such wages, the manu-
facturers of that country are enabled
to compete to some extent with the
manufacturers of this country, even
under a high protective tariff. Half
the factories in that country are now
idle, but what would be the result if
Bryan were elected and he We're able
to carry out his proposition to abolish
what he is pleased to term the
TRUSTS" by doing away with the
protective tariff and throwing the
doors open to the competition of labor
paid the above starvation wages2
In that country, the General said,
a child born of poor parents must re-
main poor during its life-there is
absolutely no hopes for it to ever get
beyond that condition. There are
two classes-the rich and the poor.
In order for a family to earn a very
meagre living the wife and children
are compelled to work like men-car
ry the hod, make mortar and sweep
the streets, but the most pitiful of all
the photographs the General exhibit
ed-for he had photographs of all the
things mentioned-were where wo-
men were harnessed to plows with
oxen, while the man held the pillow
handles and carried a large whip, and
women and dogs dragging carts, while
the man walked behind smoking his
pipe. 1t would be impossible for the
American workman to compete with
that kind of labor and Mr.. Bryan's
plan to abolish the TRUSTS" by do
ing away with the tariff and letting
the products of hat country into
America will not suit the American
laborer.

Atlanta, Ga, April 26.-The observance of Memorial Day in Atlanta was- made notable by a speech delivered by the gov .ernor of Georgia in which he scored re- publican fanatics" and criticised the war in the Philippines.
 The speech was made at the presenta- ton of crosses of honor to the veterans and was loudly cheered.
 Governor Cander said in part:
 You fought not to promote the ambi- ton of crowned head, not for conquest, not to force your government upon an un- willing people, but for the God given right of local self-government
 You rebelled against the domination of sectional political party led by fanatics who did not and do not believe in this car dinal doctrine, and who were the sworn enemies of you and your interests and your institutions
 But indeed by fanticls sm the leaders or this party either could or would not do you and your section justice. You were maligned and abused and reviled and slandered.
 Tt is a singular fact as has been justly said by distinguished republican sena- tor a few years ago, that the northern conscience was never quickened tc full realization of the enormity of slavery until their own slaves had been converted into gold, and the gold had found safe lodge ment deep down in their pockets.
 Goaded Into Secession
 "The southern people were goaded into secession in spite of love for the constitu- tion and union.
 "Perhaps both sides sinned as the con fiict grew fiercer. Let the question rest where the legend on the beautiful badge you are to wear places it. Dec vindice'' let God judge between us.
 'I do not mean to disparuge nor impugn the motives of the gallant men who con fronted us on a hundred battlefields, nor of the great mass of the people of the non-seceding states.
 q am denouncing the fanatics who pre- sided at the birth of the republican party and nursed the bantling into vigorous manhood and taught it the doctrine of higher law to disregard the limitations or the constitution, reverse the precedents Of a hundred years and who disregardlng the golden rule, preached the same unholy gospel. They still dominate the party or Lincoln and Seward and Chase, which de- ned to you in 1869 the blood bought right of local self government and which is to- day waging a war of conquest against an unoffending people ten thousand miles away and denying to them the rights for which Washington and Marion and sum ter and the Lees fought on the fields Of Camden and Yorktown and Cowpens and Kings Mountain, and for which you fought as no men have fought in two thousand years at Manassas and Shiloh, Gettysburg and Chickamauga
 '',The same party drunk with its eXcesses of usurpation are in violation of the spirit of the constitution. holding a million of people of the island of Porto Rico in state of vassalage and taxing them with out representation, as they held you and taxed you in the days of reconstruction.
 Tt is a healthy sign, however, that some of the ablest and most patriotic men

Dublin, April 26-The queen conferred baronetces upon the lord mayors of Dub lin and Belfast the title of lord mayor on the mayor of Cork, and his successors in office, and knighthood upon the mayor of Cork and the mayor of Londonderry.
 Her majesty gave fl 00O to be distributed among the poor in the Dublin hospitals.
 By her command the lord lieutenant of Ireland has published the following:
 ''The queen is very anxious, before leav- ing Ireland, where she has spent most agreeable time, to express through the lord lieutenant to her Irish people how very much gratifed and how deeply touch- ed she has been by her reception during the three weeks the queen has spent in this charming place.
 ''She has been received by all ranks and creeds with an enthusiasm and affection which could not be surpassed. Each time the queen came before with her dear hus- band they kindly and warmly welcomed her, but on this occasion, after the lapse of thirty-nine years, her reception equaled that of previous visits, and she carried away the most pleasant and affectionate memory of the time spent in Ireland.
 The queen earnestly prays that good will and harmony may prevail among all her people and that they may be happy and prosperous"

EXERCISES AT MOBILE
Rain Somewhat Marred the Beauty of
 the Ceremonies

Mobile Ala, April 26.-Five thousand peo- pie gathered in Magnolia cemetery this evening despite the threatening weather to pay tribute to the memory of the Confed- crate dead who rest in that place.
 The weather during the morning had been all that could be desired, but early in the afternoon heavy clouds gathered and while the ceremonies were going on the rain descended in torrents. All of the local militia and the Confederate Veterans were present and decorated the graves of the dead soldiers. The prayer was led by Rev. Gardiner c. Tucker of this city
 After the ceremonies had been completed the soldiers and veterans marched to the plot of the federal soldiers buried in the same cemetery, where exercises were held, which were shortened by the rain. Rev. Mir. Tucker led the exercises and spoke in part follows:
 When the people of Chicago paid the beautiful worthy tribute to the Confeder- ate soldiers buried there, when, during the late war General Coppinger and his staff assisted in the ceremonies here on Memor- ial Day, it was but beginning of the end of all sectional feeling. The north and south are now cemented together by the blood which flowed at Fl Caney and San Juan. This act of ours today is one of love and courtesy in memory of those dead men. They died for ther country and their flag, and so did those who sleep over yon- der in the other plot
 '1 make no apology for the south Ac- cording to the constitution, as 1t was un- derstood at the time, both sides were right. The question was left to the arbitration of the swordand 1t was decided against us.
 'Now, the son of the man who wore the Blue and the son of the man who wore the Gray are together for common cause The division is all past and gone. This is now one country, under one flag. What God hath joined, let no man put asun- der"

SENIOR COREA MAKES
 EMPHATIC DENIAL Nicaragua Has No Hostile De- signs on Costa Rica. FILIBUSTER EXPEDITIONS The Minister Says That the David Trip Was in No Wise Government
 Enterprise Object Was
 Not Known
.FlLIBUSTER EXPEDITIONS

Washington, April 26.-Senor Corea, the NIcaraguan minister here, has made an emphatic denial of the story that Nicaragua has any hostile designs upon Costa Rica, and especially that the David expedition was in any sense a government enterprise. Because of the reiteration in the news dis patches to that effect, the minister had a long conference with Secretary Hay today completely The minister says that Chiri- que, the point where the expedition landed and made its way to David, lies in northern Colombia and is separated from Costa Rica by almost impossible mountain ranges. No one with any military talent, he says, would seek to make Chirique basis of op- erations against Costa Rica.
 It is true that the expedition did sail from Nicaragua on a Nicaraguan govern ment tug, the Momotombo, but the minis ter claims his government had no knowl- edge of the departure of the expedition.
 A number of Colombians, he says, among them refugees, had taken up their residence in Nicaragua. Some of them were men of ability, and the Nicarguan government had placed them in office The leader of the David expedition was one of those Mica raguan office holders.
 According to the minister, the government knew nothing of this leadership. The mas ter of the tug was accustomed to make short trips up and down the coast, looking after smugglers, and without specific orders from the government. The leader of the expedition made private arrangements with the matser to transport his party, and as the number was small, being about twenty men, and as the tug was used to setting off without orders, the Nicaraguan govern ment was ignorant of the whole procedings When the tug master returned from Chiri- qui, and admitted that he had acted with out any authorization from the government he was promptly imprisoned by the Nica- raguan government
 It was further stated that Colombians went abroad without arms; that their pur- pose was to aid the revolutionists in the eastern part of their own country, Colom- bia, rather than attack Costa Rica and that they have not been in hostile collision with the government troops since they landed.
