An Old Boat
From Pearson's Weekly:

In County Mayo, Ireland, wooden
boat, believed to be nearly 1000 years
old, was dug up by some laborers. The
boat, beautifully carved from the trunk
Of a tree, is of oak, forty-six feet long
and in a perfect state of preservation.
So hard is the wood that the hatchets
Of the men scarcely left an impression.
Provision will be made to receive the
relic in the Dublin museum.

Grand Trunk Secures Space at
Sportamen's Show.

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
completed arrangements for an extensive
exhibition in connection with the second
annual Sportsmen's Snow to be held In Chi
cago from February 3 until February q.
Tne Snow is being held In the Coliseum, a
large building admirably suited for the pur-
pose. The exposition will probably be the
finest that has ever taken place in America,
eXcelling even that held in Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection of large
photographs of scenes throughout the sum-
mer resort districts situated on its line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake Of Bays,
Magnetawan River, 10000 Islands of the
Georgian Bay, kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1900 square feet, and
will be one of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands of dollars
in bringing before the people of the United
States and foreign countries the beauties OF
the Canadian districts. In the districts EN-
braced in what is known as "the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 10000 tourists were car
ried during the summer months, the ma
jority of whom were from the United States

lures are being erected to accommodate the

TEE COMMISSION BLAMED.
rhe First Vice President OF the Louisville
y Nashville Road Says Rate Cutting
Could Have II en- Stopped.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 3.-That the
interstate commerce commission is
itself to blame for the rate cutting
which it condemns in its last annual
report is the claim made by Walker
D. Hines, first vice president of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
pany, in a pamphlet which he has
just issued. He says: 1.-The commits
sion has not only failed to devote it's
time and energy to discovering and
prosecuting violations of the law, but
it has by its supineness acquiesced in
and encouraged them, and has done
all in it's power to break down the
force of the act and make it a dead
letter by constantly proclaiming that
the courts have made it's enforcement
impossible, whereas, not a single de-
cision has impaired the commissions
power to prevent rate cutting"

Judge Tuley. In Appointing q Receiver for

on the sZion'' Religion.

Chicago, Feb 1.-Judge Tuley has
ordered a receivership for the Zion
lace industries. Elmer Washburn will
be appointed to the position of re-
ceiver, under bond OF 100000. The
court, in a lengthy, decision of the
case, which was instituted by Sam.
uel Stevenson, brother-in-law OF
John Alexander Dowie, declared that
Dowie's church, the Christian Catholic
church, was a curious mixture of re-
Ggion and business. He held that
Stevenson had, by undue influence
exerted by Dowie, head of the church,
been led to turn over to Dowie prac-
tically everything he had, and held
that Stevenson was entitled to at
least 100000 from Dowie or the lace
industries, which he said were prac-
tically the same thing.

PLACE FOR JOHN ALBUs.
Turned Down for Postmaster at St Joseph
the President Names Him for Sur
veyor OF Customs.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The president
Thursday appointed John Albus. Jr.,
surveyor of customs at st. Joseph,
No., to succeed William L. Bcnchle.
Albus was candidate for postmaster
at st. Joseph, but the president named
A. w. Brewster, whom he had met on
his western campaign tour in 1900 and
for whom he formed a high regard
personally. The appointing of Albas
to position which pays as much sal

any faction of the party was respon-
sible for Brewster's selection as post
master.

the last two years, however. this land
has been filed upon. The homesteader
has begun his work Of Improving new

landoffices having this portion of the

other places in Kansas and Missouri,

place that they can call their own, and
this is where they are coming. One rail-

GLENCOE CAR FAMINE
Farmers Can't Secure Enough for
Their Use.

Glencoe, o. T, August 1.-The Glencoe
elevator men are experiencing serious
car famine this week, which is giving
them great deal of trouble and annoy
ance, says the Mirror. A month ago the
side tracks here were jam full of empty
cars but the cars disappeared as soon
as wheat began coming in, and now
it is like pulling blood from a dead Mig
ger to get a car. The result is that both
elevators are filed up to the top and
every available room in town has been
filled with wheat. The elevator people,
in order to keep wheat from other mar
kets. have used every mans of storing
what so as to continue to buy, and it is
said they will even pile it on the ground.
Such a wheat market was never known
before in eastern Oklahoma. Glencoe has
been two cents higher than any other
town, and the result Is that wheat is
coming in very rapidly, and from within
three miles of Perry. Saltwater and
Pawnee. It is believed the inability 70
