McMinnville Abolishes Saloons by
Three to One Vote.

McMinnville, Nov. 2.-The hottest
political contest ever seen in McMinn-
vile was that of to-day on the question
of abolishing the charter in order to
get clear of the saloons. Many bust
ness houses, banks, etc, closed during
the day in order that their heads
and employees might work at the polls
The vote in favor of abolishing the
charter was $50 to II against. Many
negroes voted the dry ticket.
The liquor men put up stiff fight
to the end, but such strong public
sentiment had been worked up against
the saloons that it was seen several
days before the election that the anti
saloon people were winners.

AND THAT IS LIFE.

A crust of bread and corner to leep
in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep
in,
A pint of joy to peck of trouble,
And never laugh but the means come
double;
And that is life
A crust and corner that love makes
precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to
refresh us:
And the joys seem sweet when care
comes after
And the moan is the finest of foils for
laughter;
And this is life,
So grief must be bordered with glad
ness
And the light Of a smile
More than once and awhile
Helps a tear TO unbOsOm its sadness.

ANNIE ROGERS INDICTED.
A Letter Purporting to Be From the
Bandit Parker.

Nashville. Nov. 2.-The grand jury
this afternoon returned true bill
against Annie Rogers alias Maude
Williams alias Mrs. r. j. Whalen,
the woman who was arrested recently
while attempting to pass bills of the
Bank of Montana, stolen from the ex-
press car in North Daokta last July.
The indictment charges her with
fraudulenrly uttering and passing
forged notes fraudulently assisting in
passing counterfeit resemblances or
limitations of bank bills; fraudulently
keeping possessing and concealing
counterfeit notes or issues of bank
notes that circulate as currency. The
indictment is divided into eight counts.
To date nothing has been heard from
the man who gave the detectives th
slip last Sunday, although scores of
clues have been followed. One of the
afternoon papers published a letter
purporting to have been, written by the
missing man in which defended
the police for not effecting his capture,
and said if his critics thought it an
easy task he could take care of two or
three of them at time. The letter
purpprted to have been written from
a point on the Centerville branch of
the Nashville, Chattanooga q St Louis
Railway.

4. HARVEST SONG.
o, the mellow days of autumn,
How | love to see them come,
When the harvest army marches
To the bittern S noisy drum


How | love to see them come,
When the harvest army marches
To the bittern S noisy drum
Every day is full of sweetness, every
night is full of song,
E ell the air is full OF ripeness as the
breezes sweep along
The mocking bird, awakened by the
food of soothing light
Weaves a golden thread of music in the
silver wool of night;
While the rustling of thousand flash
ing blades amid the corn,
Like an army in the moonlight waits
the reaper of the morn.
o, the mellow days of autumn,
How love to see them come,
When like an Indian princess
Stands the maple, and the gum
All the earth is full of beauty, all the
sky in azure fold,
And the sunshine in its sOftness meltS
in dreamy waves of gold;
The Whippoorwill at night -fall sounds
his startled, clarion note,
And the trumpet of the harvest march
is in his echoing throat;
While the flashing of a thousand cot
ton banners mid the corn,
Like our skies are red at evening, but
are silver in the morn.
o, the mellow nights of autumn,
When the harvest moon is queen,
And the stars like little reapers
Flash their tiny blades between.
How they thrill me with a sweetness
that is oversweet to last,
AS d glory of the present in halo of
the past,
And they fill my heart with achings,
with sweet and tender pain,
Like the memory of a music that l
ne'er shall hear again,
And they fill my soul with longings
aud they fill my eyes with tears,
Like a half-forgotten laughter in the
long forgotten years.
O. the mellow nights of autumn,
They are coming in throng
! And the harvest moon is with them
And she sings the reaper song.

AN ARTIFICIAL Wan.

A German surgeon has in his service
an old military man who has neither
arms nor legs, and half of his nose was
carried away by a shell in the war Of
1870 The old man wears a metallic
mask and has preserved his sight
The surgeon has made an interesting
calculation of the cost Of an artificial
man. He estimates as follows:
A pair of arms. $50; or. with hands
articulated, about $3.50; a pair Of legs
articulated. $3.50: a false nose in metal.
from $50 to 500; a pair of ears fitted
with artificial eardrums and resonators.
$3.50. A complete set of teeth, with pail
ate in platinum, from $40 to S95, and for
a good pair of eyes about $50 would be
paid.
This makes the cost of restoring a
battered veteran about 5000.

That sitting was the shortest and most

MT would seem that the United
States, with it's extensive coast
line on the Atlantic and Pacific
and its numerous harbors from
Maine to Florida and from Wash
ington to southern California, had
already a sufIieiency of seaports. but
there are citizens of Chicago who seem
20 think otherwise and who have given
evidence of their faith not only in their
city, but in the future of this country,
by building and launching several
steamers for salt water service The
first vessel for this new venture was
launched last December, and only four
months later was steaming away for
ocean ports from which it has always
been believed Chicago was debarred by
her situation as an inland city on
the oath of April last the steamer
Northwestern cleared from the port Of
Chicago for Liverpool. touching en-
route at Buffalo, Montreal, Sydney and
Cape Breton. The first salt water
steamer to be built and launched at
Chicago, the Northwestern, also had
the honor of initiating the lake. canal
and ocean service between Chicago and
all Europe.
The Northwestern was not, however,
the first vessel to sail between Europe
and Chicago for the credit for that
belongs. it is said, to some Nor
wegian sailors who nearly 40 years
ago brought over a small slOOp
from Norway laden with fish, disposing
of the cargo at a profit. It is fitting
that the first voyage over this route
should be made by Morse sailors, for, it
will be recalled, the first voyage from
Europe to America was performed by
Morse navigators a thousand years GO
They have ever been hardy fellows
these Norsemen, daring unknown seas
and storm bound coasts with reckless
bravery In fact. if tradition and his
tory be true. they sometimes went be-
yond their legitimate profession as
mariners and did q little buccaneerins
ravaging coasts which were supposed
to be safe from piratical incursions and
carrying fire and sword wherever they
went.
In 1892 small steamer made the vow
age from Bergen, Norway, to Chicago
having been chartered by Mr.. q 4
Thorp, an importer resident in the lake

brought fish and cod liver oil and re-
turned to Norway with a cargo of flo,,r
and grain To her belongs the honor of
having first brought a cargo to Chicago
by steam from any port in Europe and
of having made the first round trip be-
tween these places The time consumed
by this steamer-the Wergeland-vas

delays and much expense being expert

SO long sought by Sir John Franklin

lie within the power Of Chicago to claim
the merits of an original discovery, but
to her enterprising merchants belongs
the credit of exploiting a field which

her by a location so far removed from
the coast line of the United States
At the time the Northwestern was

tonnage of Chicago exceeds that of New
York, but the vessels employed in the
carrying trade, while small, are exceed
ingly numerous. While the ST. Law
renee river is navigable for ocean steam
ers as far as Montreal, yet there is at
present uninterrupted navigation open
only for vessels drawing less than IA
feet of water This will cause a neces-
sary transshipment of all cargoes in ex-
cess of 1000 or $500 tons, which will
materially add to the cost of transport
and cause delay. The steamers are
built with carrying capacity of at
least $500 tons. and it is expected that
they will be able to pick up additional
freights when deep water ports are
reached Again, the water in the ca
nails sometimes varies in depth. so that
a ship loaded to extreme capacity might
run aground and be delayed
It was only last year that the Cana
dian government announced that yes
sells not over 260 feet in length and
drawing less than IA feet could pass
unobstructedly through the canals from
the lakes to the ocean. Chicago has
been quick to avail herself of the privi-
lege of becoming an inland seaport, If

It may be regarded in the nature of
curious coincidence that about this
time another argosy sailed from Spain
for Chicago-the caravels sent over by
the Spanish government to attend the

Spain and the NOrseland is divided the
credit for that great achievement, the
discovery of America, although a dis
