YHyHE reverbrations Of DeWey's
Z Il guns at Manila had scarcely
died away when it was announced
that the president Of the Great
Northern Railway company had
contracted with an eastern ship
building firm for two steamships
for the Pacific trade, to cost up
wards Of five million dollars,
either of which would carry
twenty train loads Of freight and
one thousand passengers be
tween Puget Sound ports and
Manila. The bare announce
ment compelled a worldly wide
recognition Of the fact that the
American was capable Of dealing
with the problems bestowed
upon him by the Spanish war,
and would husband all the fruits
Of the commerce OF the countries
with which he was newly brought
into intimate relationship, A
steel steamship of that sizeas
long as from Fourth street to
Sixth street in ST. Paul, beamed
wider than Wabasha, and deep
as the Manhattan building from
coping to foundation was con-
ception worthy Of an emperor.
From that conception sprang the
steel trust, so.called, and the
Northern Securities Company.
One empire builder produces
others in the same generation;
and Mr.. Hill $ conception Of what
N was due to the Asiatic trade
stirred UP greatness smolderipg.
B III The minds Of other Americans,
and Morgan, Rockefeller, Car
negie and the Vanderbilts came
forward with their financial pro-
posals, which have since aston
ished Europe, If not somewhat
bewildered her.
AT IA time in the early eighties
when the Minnesota farmer was
dependent on Chicago railroads
for rates to the seaboard, Mr..
Hill put a million and half into
six steamships on the great
lakes, and a million into an Gle
vator system at Superior, and
reduced the rates on wheat and
-four to a reasonable basis.
There was no popular specific
demand for such an Investment.
In the early eighties hepar-
alleled his own line from Mime
apolis to st. Cloud, and also as
far as Hutchinson. He paralleled
his own lines between Crookston
and the international boundary.
About the same time he desisted
from paralleling the Northern
Pacific line from Perham to Red
Lake Falls. He later paralleled
his own lines from Moorhead to
Crookston, from Coon Creek to
HinclSley, and the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern from Stony
Brook to Hibbing, and the Brain
erd 81 Northern from Walker to
Bemidii. None of these lines are
as much as thirty miles apart,
and their construction in the
case Of his own lines was a prac-
tical violation Of the spirit of the
state laws against consolidation
of competing parallel lines, as
would be the actual consolida-
ton Of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern systems. But
nobody whined, nobody COM
planned
In 1895 Mr.. Hill began the con-
struction of two magnificent steel
passenger steamers for the
traffic between Duluth and Buff
falo. Unpopular clamordemanded
it. No competitor compelled it.
It was simply an. American en-
terprise, meant to answer the

edition Of the Park Rapids En-
terprise issued last week. It's
the most handsome thing of the
year, printed upon book paper,
sparkling with elegant half tones
and running over with facts
about Hubbard county and the
people who are making it bios

column in the list of enterpris-.
ing newspapers of the state, and
this issue has hoisted it clear to
the top.

Gov. Van SAINT has evidently
overlooked the fact that the north
ern part Of the state remains to
be developed by the railroads,
and that such development must
come principally through the
foresight Of James ]. Hill and his
associates in the railroad world
But the people Of this portionsof
the state are conscious Of the sit,
uation, and do not thank the gov
ernor for taking an attitude
which threatens, if sufficiently
persisted in, to unsettle invest
ments in railroad securities.

Swedenborg and the Lost Receipt.

Supernatura]ism in all ages has had
also a commercial side, and has been
cultivated as a means to regain miss
ing property, or to discover hidden
treasures. The good people of Stock
holm were perhaps spiritual chiefly
in this latter direction. It was in
l761 that Swedenborg was consulted
on an affair of the kind by a neighbor
of his, the widow of Lewis Won Marte-
vile, who had been ambassador from
Holland to Sweden. Curiosity too
was prompting motive in her visit,
and she went to the seer with several
ladies Of her acquaintance, all eager
to have "a near view Of so strange a
person." Her husband had paid
away $4,000 Dutch guilders, and the
widow being again applied to for the
money, could not produce the receipt.
She asked Swedenborg whether he
had known her husband, to which he
answered in the negative, but he
promised her on her entreaty that if
he met him in the other world he
would inquire about the receipt.
Eight days afterwards Won Marteville
in dream told her where to find the
receipt, as we'll as hair pin set with
brilliants, which had been given up
as lost. This was at 2 O'Clock in the
morning, and the widow, alarmed yet
pleased, rose at once and found the
articles as the dream had described.
She slept late in the morning. At II
O'Clock a. m. Swedenborg was an
nounced. His first remark before the
lady could open her lips, was, that
during the preceding night he had
seen Won Marteville, and had wished
to converse with him, but the latter
excused himself on the ground that

unsuccessful campaign for the speak
ership he was placed at the, head Of
this most important House Commit
tee. His opportunity had come and
he was ready for it. The fruit Of his
labors was the Mckinley bill Of 1890
"a landmark in our history. This
achievement proved his defeat in the
succeeding congressional election.
But he was not discouraged. With
sublime faith in the American peo-
pie and in the principles for which he
was fighting, he said, "This is only
a cross current, chop sea. The
tide of truth flows surely on beneath"
From this defeat he emerged as
governor of the great state of Ohio
and two years later was re-elected
in the face of tremendous opposition.
This placed him in comfortable
position in the race for the Presiden-
tial nomination in 1896. And he set
out earnestly to obtain the prize
which had been offered to him at two
different occasions previously, once
at Chicago in 1883 and the second
time at Minneapolis in 1892.
The conditions of the country were
ripe for his candidacy. Everywhere
he was hailed as 'the Advance Agent
of Prosperity. Marcus A. Hanna,
new man in national politics, was
chosen as his campaign manager and
two successive victories testify to his
skill. He played the chord of re:
turn of Republican prosperity and
put forth every effort to capture the
delegates from every state. Disre-
garding political traditions and repu-
tations, the claims of Read and other
"favorite sons' were deliberately
shelved. In the convention at St.
Louis Hanna introduced new tactics
OF campaigning and outwitted every
postmaster of political generalship.
McKinley's nomination was secured
almost without any apparent struggle.
The campaign was entrusted to the
same man. The tariff issue was for
time regarded as the great issue of
the contest. But, as one writer has
said, '''when it became impossible to
stake the result on this one issue, Mr..
Hanna did what no one else had done
before him-swapped horses in the
middle of the stream and safely
reached the other SIDE" The tariff
was relegated to a secondary place,
and the money question given the
prominent position. The Democrats
advocated the free and Unlimited
coinage of silver at ratio of l6 to
while the Republicans defended the
single gold standard; with the com
promising clause favoring interna-
tional bimetallism. Mckinley re-
ceived 271 of the electoral votes as
against Bryan's 176.
And so Hon. William Mckinley,
the ''man of great intellectual power"
had been chosen the chief magistrate
of the greatest republic on earth, dur
ing whose rule we we're destined to
expand until great Archipelago in
the Orient came under the benign in
fuence of the ''Stars and Stripes''.
The events during his administra-
tion are household property. It is
unnecessary to comment on them. f.
The great chieftain is gone from
our midst. Let us emulate his life
and deeds. -
Peace be to his sorrowing family.

OPENING OF SCHOOL.
The Fall Term in the City Began
Monday

The public schools OF the city
opened for the fzI term Monday
morning, with as large a showing rs
has ever been recorded The high
school and first ward buildings have
undergone various changes and inn
prOvements and every thing opened
up refreshed from the summer vaea-
tiOn and ready for another years
work. Prof Finley thinks thislgear's
work will be better than any pre-
cedfng and from the first start it
looks az If things could hardly be in
better shape. Nearly every seat in
the high school was filed this morn
/ ing and there1 was over a dozen new
entries from other schools. The day
was spent in enrolling and seating
the pupils and arranging the pro
gram. School was dismissed early
| to give the teachers more time and
it will probably be several days be-
fore the new books are purchased
and things get down to working
order.
The high school has four new
teachers all of whom have had sever
al years experience and come highly
recommended.
Miss Maud st. John is a graduate
of the state university and has had
several years experience in the
schools of Atlantic. She takes the
algebra department in the place of
Mrs. IsOra Carver.
Miss Laura N. Graves who is to
have charge of the Latin depa rtment
was classmate of Miss Anna Shep-
herd the former instructor. She is a
graduate of the state university and
taught three years in the AckIey
school. From there she was called
to take a position at Boone where
she has had charge of the Latin and
History department for the past nine
years.
Leslie Fl. Needhem was instructor
of penmanship and book keeping in
the Oskaloosa Business College for
several years and has gained quite
reputation in that line of work. He
will take Milo Hunts place in the
book keeping and political economy
department.
Ainey Aibertson has had charge
of the Biology department at Penn
College for some time past and his
excellence in that work hardly needs
further mention.
Altogether theou tlook was never
more promising and every one may
feel that the work this year will be
at least equal to if not better than
that of any proceeding.

GETTING THE NEWS.
Everybody Anxious to Hear
From the President.

A good idea of the anxiety which
existed in everybody's heart to hear
from President Mckinley might have
been cleaned by the observer of the
crowds about THE HERALD's bulletin
board Saturday night and all day
Sunday. There was not a single
minute from six O'Clock Saturday
evening until one O'Clock Sunday
morning when there were less than
six people reading the ne VS., and the
crowds at times numbered over one
hundred. From one O'Clock until day
light Sunday morning many visited
the board but only in small numbers
at a time, and in heightened inter-
walls. From six O'Clock on however
the crowds increased, and during the
middle of the day the side walks
were iammed.
Saturday night the bulletins were
discouraging, and the expressions of
sympathy, which were akin to
prayers, came from people of all pro-
fessions, religious and:political affili-
atoms. An illustration of the tender
feelings of the people in general was
given in the expressions of disgust
that came from the crowd when the
bombardment of the city of Rio
Hacha, Columbia, by the Venezuelan
feet was bulletined. In ordinary times
this would be an absorbing item of
news but when it was placed on the
board, hubbub ensued and voices
could be heard saying: "Who cares
for Columbia" WAR cuts no figure
now" 'Let all of South America be
blown up but save Mckinley" Rub
it off the slate" etc, etc.

CAMP FIRE.
Woman's Relief Corps Entertained the
Old Boys in Good shape

The members Of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps and Phil Kearney Post
No. 40 had very pleasant camp fire
at the home of Patrick McDonough,
SIC G avenue west Thursday evening.
About IS members we're present and
speeches and songs were the order of
the evening. John Martin and Com
rade Blair made short addresses and
Mr. Blair also favored the company
with several solos. Henry Cooper
was called upon for some Of his upto.
date rag times and he did some very
pretty shutting for the benefit Of the
company. The Oskaloosa Drum
Corps furnished music for the &C.
casion and every one had a fine time.
Owing to a mistake Of the secretary
the address was not given on the in
vitation and several of the corps
went over to the south side Of the city
not knowing of the recent change in
the McDonough residence. They ar
rived little late but were in plenty
of time to enjoy the fun. Light re-
freshments were served and the
evening was declared great success.
