MARION To SALEM
Is the Route Charlesworth Pre-.
fers for the New Railroad.

Monday Mr. Charlesworth, the
railroad man, who has been look
ing into the matter of running
railroad to Salem from some point
on the Illinois Central, came to
this city and accompanied by Mr..
p. s. Maxwell went over the route
railroad might take from Marion
to Salem by way of the Crittenden
Springs. The gentlemen also vi
sited the several mines along the
routb to ascertain in what way the
railroad would benefit the mining
industry. Mr.. Charlesworth OK
pressed the opinion that n railroad
from Marion to Salem would be
the most desirable, as we'll as H
more profitable route than from
Mexico to Salem. He thinks the
citizens of Salem and Marion
should cooperate in the work of
joining the two cities by rail, and
give every encouragement to the
capitalists interested in this un-
dertaking He is very sanguine f
ultimate success. The natural
route for a road, the growing MN
eral interests, the fine agricultural
section, and the great interest the
home people, as we'll as tho per-
sons now investing in mining, all
conspire to give the enterprise an
early initiative land speedy and
successful termination. No pro-
position has been made beyond
that submitted for the Mexico
route, but it is probable that We
will shortly hear from Mr. Charles
worth.

Work began Monday on the
new railroad from Gracey to Ca
dir. The people of Cadiz inaugu.
rated the work with speeches, mu.
sic and parades. The ceremonies
reminded us of similar affair that
occurred at Marion fourteen years
ago, when the first train on the
Ohio Valley pulled into Marion.
May Cadiz find the investment i'll
her new enterprise as profitable as
has been Marion's.

side the Alleghenies.

The ease with which the stock
for the electric light and ice plant
was subscribed shows that there is
an undercurrent of enterprise
among the people of Marion that
only needs to be localized to be-
come effective. 1t shows, also,
that there is healthy per cent of
onr people who have faith in the
future of the town. Every citizen
needs to be thoroughly saturated
with that idea, and every citizen
who has the means should be will
ling to invest some of his dollars
in business enterprises that have
a tendency to add to the sum total
OF the business affairs of the COM
munity. Let our capitalists put
some money into new business en-
terprises-business that does not
continue to divide up that which
is already here. but business that
creates new demand for natural
products, that calls into requisi.
ton more labor, and we will pros
per as Il community. Let home
capital help develop, let home ca
pital manifest its faith by its
works, and then the Sun will shine
the brighter. Our friends of the
light and ice company have taken
the initiation, there are plenty of
other enterprises waiting for those
who are not among the stock hol-
ders.

Editor Bryan, of the CommoEer,
and Watterson, of the Courier
Journal, have been .huving an edi-
torial bout. Bryan stands for the
old landmarks, politically speak
ing, and upho!ds tenets propagat-
ed by jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coin; Watterson intimates that
these old doctrines are the good
and true, but holds that they do
not fit the modern American nor
his environments and, therefore.
should be left us ancient history,
while the pushing business man
and the politician who would ride
upon the crest of success must be
unincumbered with any ideas of
right or wrong as measured by the
old standard, rush along with the
Gladdening crowd, leaving the fu-
ture to take care of itself. Bryan
would try to stem the tide of error
no matter how high it had risen;
Watterson would plunge in, after
the danger line is reached, aud
fight for goodly portion of the
spoils, floating with the current to
whatever haven it might carry
him. Bryan never ceases to bat
tie for his conceptions of right; a
few we'll directed blows from his
antagonist makes passive votary
Of Watterson, while he fills his
scrip with the fruit of the oppor-
tunities his old enemy brings his
way.

some one finds a snowdrop or a

The Hawks Lecture.

A. w. Hawks is one of the most
popular humorists on the plat.
form. He never fails to delight
his audience. His record for re.
turn dates is phenomenal. His
wit is keen and his philosophy il
transparent. And his fun is new Q
made at the expense Of the keen
edge of the public's moral sensibi'
lities. He keeps the people in
roars of laughter, from beginning
to end of his lecture. without de-
scending to slang terms or vulgar
ity. 1t is an impossibility for one
to hear him and not laugh, There
is no doubt but that as an apos-
tie Of sunshine he is an immense
success.

In an opinion handed down yesterday

works in awarding a contract to W. ].

sewer on Thomas street is held to be
without warrant
The board received four bids for the
work, the lowest being Chris Johnson, W.
j. Preston following. In the proposals
three of the bidders, among them john
son, failed to incorporate in the same
the word temporary and for this
reason their bids were rejected and the
work given to Preston.
When awards go before the council for
approval the names of all bidders are in
Guided but in this instance only that of
Preston appeared and some of the men,
bers being under the impression that he
was the only bidder gave their ap-
prevail.
Johnson laid his grievance before the
legal department and the opinion follow
ed. Mr.. Griggs holds that the bids were
in proper form and that the board had
no ground for their rejection.
President Hammer says that the rea.
son the names of the other bidders did
not appear on the resolution sent to the
council was because of the fact that
they had been rejected. A rejected bid,
he says, is never included.

An attempt on the part of party of

them from this state some evidence of

day to the confiscation by the state game

The seizure was made by F. E. Johnson

Johnson found at the Union depot a ship

Which he suspected to contain game, and
obtaining a search warrant verified his
suspicious by the disclosure of fifty-six
birds, chickens, ducks and snipe. The
baggage consisted of two trunks which
had come in on the II & D. division
from the Big Stone country, and both;
With their entire contents, were brought

Col. j. S. Cooper, of Chicago well
known as the chief promoter of the

nesota, passed through St Paul yester-
day, with his family, en- route to I.eech
lake and Cass lake, where the next week
were Ferdinand w. Peck and family
and Charles /. Peck and family, of Chi
cage
Col. Coopers hobby is the establish-
ment of vast forest reserve in the
northern part of this state, and although
congress has so far turned a deaf ear
to his representations, he is still hope
full of inducing that body to see the mat
ter in the light he views it. He is opti-
mistic to a degree, and says he feels
sanguine of success next season, when
the matter is to be brought up again.
He bases his hope on the fact that the
once obstinate opposition to his scheme
is burning itself out, and he is OF opfn-
ion that disinterested consideration of
the subject is bringing those who did
not at first agree with him to see that
the reservation of large forest domain
as national park will constitute price
less heirloom for posterity.
AT present the section of the state
which it is proposed to reserve abounds
with fish and game, and the natural sur
roundings are as primitive as though
man had never set foot in it. This VIII
not long continue, says the colonel, if
lumbermen are allowed to proceed with
the work of stripping the country of all
lumber of any commercial value.
Col. Peck, who was director general
of the American exhibit at the Paris ex-
position, and who is a member of tie
fishing party. is an enthusiastic sup
porter of the national reservation idea,
and he will this winter accompany Col.
Cooper to Washington in order to as
sist in inducing congress to consider the
project favorably. He is also OF OPINION
that the state is being rapidly denuded
of it's natural attractions by the large
numbering concerns. and he thinks ma
tional park of the character advocated
by Col. Cooper is something that con-
gress should. not hesitate in establishing
Col. Cooper, in speaking of those who
were in sympathy with him in his eff
forts in this, direction, mentioned the
names of Archbishop Ireland, the late
Bishops Whipple and Gilbert and Con-
