ship Canal Not Practicable.

Capt. Wheeler does not believe it
practicable to make n ship canal from
Chicago toward the gulf. He cites
the fact that the government had
spent $29,000,000 i'm the attempt to
keep n deep channel below Cairo and
had not succeeded overly well, as an
going ships could be maintained in
the Mississippi. He said the pro-
moters of the scheme should have
contented themselves with advocat-
ing a canal and a channel that would
carry boats with not to exceed eight
feet dTaught and then all the engineers
would have to agree with them that
the plan was practicable. This depth
he insists. is the deepest that can be
maintained, and it is enough to carry
the freight that would naturally go
that way and to regulate the freight
rates on the railroads.
Capt. Wheeler is very certain the
Hennepin canal will be a great regu-
lator of freight in eastern Illinois.
He cites the fact that the rate on
grain as shown by the canal commits
sioner's report is two cents a hundred
less on the line of the canal than it is
ut points remote from the canal at Il
distance of hundred miles from Chi
cago and the proportion is maintain
ed at other points. He said if it were
practicable to haul all the corn of
Iowa by canal instead of by rail, or
if the rate could be reduced as shown
by these figures of the canal com
missioners, there would be Il saving OF
at least $3,0OO.OOO to the farmers of
this state every year.

RIGHT TO BOYCOTT
Waterloo, Iowa, Woman Brings Two
Suits for Damages. 49,.

WATERLOO, IoWA-Two damage suits
which will determine how far a union labor
boycott may be carried were flled in the dis
trct court day. The suits are brought by
Mrs Minnie Hoober, who conducts an eating
house, against Kramer Brothers and F. Wit
tick, meat market owners, and the plaintiff
asks S., 900 damages In each case. The meat
market men refused to sell meat to Mrs.
Hoober, alleging they had been threatened
with boycott by the union labor organiza-
tions If they continued to supply her. The
action OF the union men is said to have been
taken as q step in their war with Thomas
Cascaden, manager of the Waterloo Gasolene
Engine company factory. Some time ago the
union men in the: Cascaden factory struck for
higher wages and shorter hours The man
agement declined to treat with them and Sc
cured non union men to take their places
These men were Boarded at Mrs. Hoober' S
place. After endeavoring to get her to refuse
to serve meals to the non-union men, it is
claimed by threats representatives of the
union forced the markets, by threats, it is
said, to refuse to sell meat to Mrs. Hoober,
and she was unable to carry on her business
except a vegetable diet, which does not
satisfy foundry workers. It is also said the
unions intend to carry the boycott further.

FIGHT WARMING Up
Republican Congressional Contest
Will Have Lively Finish.
THREE MEETINGS LAST NIGHT
Issues in the Campaign vigorously
Handled by Candidates and
Their Friends.

Loren Fletcher, at Berglund's hall in the
eleventh ward last evening:
III it were not for the velvet hand Of
the sugar trust, monkeying around in this
congressional district, there wouldn't be so
much opposition to your Uncle Loren to-
day.
''These two bright young lawyers that
are running against me have only found
three things in my record to criticize, in
my nine years service. I think that Is
doing pretty we'll. They don't criticize me
for anything that affected the interests
of the people of my district. You don't
care so much about canal in South
America as about some things nearer
home. AS for Cuban reciprocity, we have
done pretty we'll by Cuba"
G. H. Rossman. who presided at Eugene
Hays meeting in the seventh ward last
evening: ,-. - -...-..-.... ... ..
"The other two candidates for congress
have not told you where they stand on
public questions, or given you any grounds
for supporting them, except these:
"Mr. Fletcher wants you to return him
to congress because he has been there so
long already. The other, Mr.. Peterson, is
a candidate without any policy, SO far as
have heard. He hopes for the nomina-
tion because he is of Scandinavian origin,
and for no other reason. In this he insults
every fair minded man In the district. It
Is nothing to MS olSCreQlC tQaL MS parents

why we should send him to congress-"
James A. Peterson, at Danta hall last
evening: IL.
Things have been said in this cam
paign that should CRATE upon every honest
man. It has been openly said, in fact Mr..
Fletcher told me himself, that he would
spend $4,000 to be reelected. Do you
think the $4,000 that has been raised in
this campaign to send Fletcher back to
congress Is spent In your interests"
The congressional campaign is warming

ARLINGTON. S. D.-This city. usually too
busy to indulge In gossip, has digressed, and
Is discussing a seance witnessed on the

Believing herself to be an orphan and entire
ly alone in the world, she was at q loss to
know what to do, but readily found a home
in one Of the best families in the city. This
was something OF surprise to her former
employers, and they at once began a sys-
tematic annoyance Of the girl. They sent her
telephone messages, interrupted her upon the
streets, took her mail from the postofflce and
refused to deliver it to her unless she would
again take up her abode with them, which she
declined to do.
Finally the young lady was informed by her
old employer that he had in his possession
certain letters, one Of which was from her
father, and also a package belonging to her,
and admitted that he had opened and read
the letters, but would not deliver them to
her except she returned to his home. This
was the first intimation the girl had that
either OF her parents were living, and she
became very much excited.
Thursday afternoon the met her tormentoI
on the main street OF the city and demanded
her letters. Both became excited and soon
loud and strong language was used. Mer-
chants, clerks and pedestrians were attracted
by the war Of words, and q crowd witnessed
the encounter. But the girl failed to gel
the letters or any information concerning he1
father, but she has crystalized public senti-
ment In her favor, and much sympathy Is ex'
pressed for her. The incident Is not ye,
closed.
Mrs. R. E. Richmond, who came here a few
weeks ago from Sioux City, died Thursday
following a long and painful illness. She
came here hoping that change OF climate
and surroundings would improve her health
