II the battle goes against you
And your foes upon you press,
Do not yield your weapons TO thsuS
Give not voice to your distress
Urp again and wage new battle;
Up again and strike fresh blows
You may vet come on triumphant
You may win the fight; who knowSt
Naught you'll gain by idle weepingi
Tears but add 10 your distress.
II this wicked world has wTonged you,
At its hands, then seek redress
Bring 10 your assistance courage,
And the fight again begin,
knowing industry and yalor
In the end will surely win

BILLION DOLLAR TRUST.

Enormous Resources of the New Steel
Combine-Carnegie is Well Paid.
New York, Feb. 1S.-When the
charter of the New York steel trust
is fled-probably before the middle of
this week-it will be found that its
authorized capital is to be greater than
the sum generally given in Wall street
recently as the prospective capital.
1t was learned that the stock of the
new corporation, common and pre-
ferred, would aggregate about $780,
100000, and the total capitalization, in
cluding bonds. is expected to be more
than $1,000, 100000.
What the exact issue of bonds will
be is matter of mere conjecture to
the financial world as whole. The
bond issue will probably not be much
greater than is required to pay for
Andrew Carnegie's $S63T9,OOO of
stock in the Carnegie company. This
stock Of the Carnegie company is val.
ued at $500 share in the transac-
ton. the minority holders getting 100
per cent of their holdings in stock of
the new concern, one-half preferred
and one-half common.

Burlington Road is Seeking New West

Omaha, Feb. 1S.-G w. Holdrege,
general manager of the Burlington
road, left for Chicago, where it is said
he will confer with officials of that
road on basis for an agreement witr
the Union Pacific for an outlet for the
Burlingtol's Pacific coast business
President Burt of the Union Pacific
and Mr.. Holdrege had conference on
the matter, the result of which the
latter will lay before the officials of his
line.
The eDnver and Rio Grande road has
been the western connection for the
Burlington road at Denver and turned
the business to the Central Pacific at
Ogden. Now that the Union Pacin c
has come into the control of the Cen
tral Pacific the Burlington must seek
new traffic arrangement Should
the Rio Grande also come under the
control of the Hartman interests the
matter would become still more COM
pllcated for the Burlington.
The officials of the later road say
that their traffic arrangements with
the Denver and Rio Grande has been
very friendly and that they have no
intimations from official sources that
any change has taken place which will

NOTTOPARTICIPATE
cHAFFEE MUST DECLINE INVITATION
TO JOIN EXPEDITION.

Every Efrart viii BE Made to Convince
Germany That the Undertaking Is "a Mis-
tske--China Delaying Negotiations In
an disappearing Manner.
Washington, Feb. 19-The United
States government is facing seri-
GUS situation in China, owing to the an
nouncement of the intention of Field
Marshal Won Waldersee to make an
offensive campaign. General Cbaffee
has been invited to join in the expe-
ditiOn, which is to be mobiliZed on II
larger scale than anything attempted
in China since the war began. The
general Informed the war department
officials that the state department had
been advised of the decision.
This German movement has caused
considerable amazement. General
Chaffee will be told that he is not to
participate in this campaign. He has
been keeping the American forces in
Peking, ever since the city was pacl-
p fed, simply as a legation guard, ana
the German government is fully aware
that the United States government
purposely deprived the American con
tingent in China of its offensive mill
tary character and withdrew it from
the control of Count Won Waldersee in
order to hasten peace negotiations
and prevent, so far as it could, the
continuance Of military movements
against the Chinese, which We're at
once unnecessary and baneful in their
effect upon the peace movement. So
our government, not having changed
its policy, cannot do otherwise tha-
cause General Chaffee to refrain from
any participation in hostile military
movements, SO long as the present
peaceful conditions continue.
But another very serious point under
consideration is not whether Chafree
shall join the German movement, but
whether it is or not the duty of our
government to exercise all proper er-
forts to dissuade the German govern
ment from undertaking this campaign.
The Chinese government is unfortu-
nately delaying the peace negotiations
in an exasperating fashion and is not
responding in proper spirit to the ef-
fort of the United States govern
ment. Word has just come from Min
lister Conger which confirms the press
advices relative to the Chinese declinn-
tion to accede to the demands of the
minister In the matter of capital pun
ishment of the leaders implicated in
the Boxer movement.

JEFFERSON ICE co. MAY COME
Big Chicago Ice Company May open an
office in This City.

There is a rift in the clouds, and
possible competition in the ice bust
ness in Kenosha is seen, in the fact
| that the Jefferson Ice company of Chi
cago, of which Bert Adams, of this
city is the mana ger, is looking over
the ground here with the intention of
| esta blishing new company in Keno
sha. If the new move goes through
the wagons of the Jefferson company
will be on the streets of the city with
in week, and if prices for ice are not
reduced one thing is certain, and that
is that the people of the city will be
assured of service.
The Jefferson company is not in any
way connected with the trust, but they
have made the trust look to their 1au-
rels in Chicago, and it is probable that
their coming into Kenosha will result
in slight reduction in the prices now
charged for the much needed ice. The
company has large houses filled with
ice on the shores of lakes Mary and
Eliza, and with these facilities the ice
can be shipped into Kenosha at a min
imum cost.
In connection with the sale of the
Kenosha company to the trust, Fred
Fe1dschau, president of the local COM
pany, is out with statement that no
sale has been made. He states that
the Knickerbocker Ice company have
simply removed their wagons from
Kenosha, and that the manager of the
Chicago company in Kenosha has been
employed as a bookkeeper for the Ke-
nosha company-but, says Mr.. Field
schau, there has been a deal perfected
whereby the Kenosha company agrees
to purchase ice of the Knickerbocker
company or from the Wisconsin Lakes
Ice company. AS both of these COM
panies are in the trust the matter is
sifted out and shows that the Kenosha
company has simply placed itself in
the power of the trust. All the ice
sold in Kenosha under the present
regime will be the trust ice, and the
prices charged will be trust prices.
IF the plans of the Jefferson COM
change, and the change will force the
trust to meet competition, which will
not only reduce prices but supply bet
ter ice.
Many 1aughab1e incidents are re-
ported in regard to the ice famine of
Monday. Many people were without
ice the entire day, and i'll their efforts
to get the Kenosha company to take
their money they were forced to run
out into the street and stop the
wagons. Such are the Vaccinations
of the ice trust in Kenosha, and the
entire city cries out for relief.
