There was another trip, that was not
very enjoyable because Of the elements.
It was planned for Omaha and Chicago.
A heavy storm followed us from Mankato
to Missouri Valley, where We learned that
we could not get into Omaha, and IN
making the "trip to Chicago we followed
closely after a special containing circus
party which was ditched, and the track
was DISTRACTED for about fifteen hours,
our party being obliged to enjoy them
selves for the time "a county town called
Tama. Otherwise the trip was enjoyable

probably, was the 1890 trip to Washington,

us four or five days at the national capt.
tall a trip to Mount Vernon, and grand
reception rendered by the Minnesota SEN
ators and Representatives, and other Min
nesota residents On this trip we had 152
excursionists.
Following the Washington excursion the
next year, home outing was managed
.at IBrightwood, on the shores of Lake Rip

would hardly expect,a fellow who had only

be able to supply 1.-TWO or three columns
Of copy or more as suggested by Brother
Hall. 1t might be looked for the first day
after his arrival or couple OF weeks
later, hut on the fourth day he feels more
like doing anything else than writing copy.
Nobody but Hall could perform that feat
properly, for he never sleeps nor eats nor
tires, and feels better after smoke social
with the boys than most newspaper men
do when they start out fresh in the
morning Since reaching Washington there
has been more or less smoke social about
it, and so many of 'Whitney's sugges-
lions" while Whitney is not present that
writing readable matter is out Of the
question. '-
The writer came up from Atlanta Sun
day morning. He has been there with the
Mrs. and the Misses since November. The
first thing looked for in the great city
OF the south was the place where Mike
bowling was married-if remember right
the hotel. At all events. the hotel is
gone, even though Mike lives and counts
his family in somewhat greater numerals
faithful husband of a charming wife. I
speak Of the hotel where the editorial ex-
cursion put up the several days we were
in Atlanta in 1895. It was opposite the
First Methodist church on one side and
an Episcopal church on the other. That
was Halls suggestion" as to location Of
the first big editorial train from Mime
sofa; otherwise known when l am in At
lanta as America, for We do things on a
different basis in MinneSota-even to fly
ing the flag, to make no mention of other
things the newspaper boys do which sound
better to be told at a smoke social than
written in blackfaced script to be read
day or two after the cheerful affair Is
over. Nobody but Hall would think of To-
eating US all in such close proximity to
houses Of worShip-or, in other words,
life saving stations, in town where sa-
looms close on Sunday and at regular
hours of the night-close SO tightly that
not even back door is open; nor opened
in response to a password or signal. A
drug store. however, fills a gap between
the churches, and always responds to
Sick calls. Now I understand why H.
P. selected the location and why Whitney
didn't overrule him on point of order.
Atlanta has more Of church going
habit than our Minnesota towns, and such
a reformation has overtaken the writer
as to cause him to attend twice On one
Sunday and once on two other Gods days.
While not knowing much about the Sun
day laws Of Georgia, find that out OF re-
spect to the Sabbath there is a much more
general observance of it than among the
people at home-by which I do not refer
to the town 1 live in, but such Of the

contain perishable property or live stock

midnight of Saturday all other freights tie
up at whatever station they may be, or at
the first station thereafter reached, re-
naming on the side track until the next
midnight.
1t has been difficult to determine wheth-
er the people of Georgia are patriotic or
Indifferent to the elements of patriotism
which inspire such men as Charlie Mitch
ell with eloquence when he gets over the
border-in Canada, l mean-for there the
American flag makes Charlie spread the
wings Of the American eagle, with one tip
on the dome in washington and the other
on the dome in Ottawa, hoping and pre-
dieting that one day the flag will wash

in December. Naturally I looked for Old

confederacy Is equally absent from all

occasions, such for example, as Lees
birthday, Jan. 10, when the old banner
which had the forlorn hope Of disunion
is exceedingly prominent. On this occa-
sion it has the place Of honor to the ex-
clusion Of that better symbol of human
liberty and expansion. It waved from
Georgia's capitol by the side of the f1ae

looked in vain for the flag that made the
nation free, and would uplift even con-

An Indian Murdered.

An Indian boy of the Supai tribe was found dead at the Hill Top House, about eight miles from the village, on the evening of the 21st of this month.
 The young fellow, a son of old Captain George who died recently, in company with another boy of about the same age had been started for the Truxton Indian school that morning and when that point had been reached he decided to go no further. His companion rode on, thinking that the other was follow ing, when suddenly he heard the report of a rife and looking back saw the others horse fall dead, and then was surprised to see him lie down, put the gun to his head and touch the trigger.
 The matter was reported to the agent at Truxton who left for the scene. Sheriff Johnson came down from Flagstaff and went out to Bright Angel where he learned there was no danger of an uprising as had at first been reported, and abandoned the trip.
 It is said that the suicide was due to the dislike of the Supais for their red brethren, the Wallapais, with whom they were compelled to come in contact at the school.

International's Big Engines.

The engines to be used on the Fort
Worth division of the International
and Great Northern road are to be
of the most powerful type. Recent
ly the power of these locomotives
was tested by the moving over the
main line between Houston and Gal
weston of a monsters train. 1t was
hauled by one of the giant locomo-
tives, the train consisting of ninety
loaded cars, a tonnage which is
simply astounding when it is re-
membered that one engine supplied
the power. The train figures out
$500 feet, or nearly three-quarters of
a mile, in length. These big engines
have two steam guages and are
steam monsters, it being hard to es-
innate their power. 1t is given out
that two tremendous passenger en-
gines, with drive wheels six feet in
diameter, are to be put on the Hous-
ton, Waco and Fort Worth division
when it is put into service.
