D'oRSAY AND sLESSINGToN.
The Celebrated Dandy and His
Equally Noted Associate,

London Academy: AT Gore house, on
the rural Kensington road, Lady Bles-
sington and Count d~'Orsay-living In re-
lations which ave never been defined,
though often denounced-received princes,
statesmen. soldiers, poets. exiles. The
overlooking hospitality, the splendor OF
the rooms, the pictures, the bric-a-brac,
the beauty of the great garden where la
burnum gilded the air and the nightin-
gales sang in the thickets, the wit and
beauty Of the countess, and the polish
and versatile projections Of d'Orsay car
ried all before them.
Hitler the most instant news was
brought. Here state secrets were common
talk. The duke OF Wellington, Lord Ches-
terneld, Brougham and Landseer strolled
on TO the lawn. Lord Lytton, Thackeray
and Dickens were visitors in the zenith
Of their fame. Landor, who had spent
the happiest days Of his life with tho
Blessingtons In their villa on the Arno,
found In Gore house the quintessence Of
London In the great drawing room
Moore held these men spellbound with
his songs. Nataniel Willis relates that
one evening he sang when First / Met
Thee" with a pathos that beggared de-
scription. When the last word had fall
tered out, he arose and took Lady Bless
sington's hand, said goodnight, n was
gone before a word was uttered"

One Bit OF Candor.

Odebolt Chronicle: If 1t is true that
the president has rendered the port
folio OF the treasury department 10
Governor Shaw, 1t Is evident that ne
does not know the man. We are Will
ing to concede that Shaw has a better
knowledge Of finance than Gage, and
thai he has the ability to make an ex-
cellent secretary OF the treasury. But
q more INSCRIPTIONS man never held
high office in Iowa. He believes that
every man can be induced to change
his political course by appealing to his
self-interest, and that an ambitious
politician Is justified In doing anything
that will promote his political for
tunes. VIII 1t help Shaw? is the frs
question the governor asks when deal
ing with Il public question. A more
unfit selection could not be made.

SWEDISH MILK POWDER,
A Soluble Essence With the Proper.
tie OF FreRh MIX.

London Mail: Copenhagen-At the last
monthly meeting Of the Swedish Agricul-
tural society DR.. NJ. Eckenberg, q well
known chemist, made an important COM
munication which Is Of great interest for
the dairy industry.
The professor has discovered that the
substantial essence of milk can be re-
duced to a fine powder. If this powder be
dissolved In a certain quantity Of water
il becomes again ordinary milk, with all
80 nutritive qualities, It's taste and smell.
Experiments with this milk powder were
entirely successful, and the discovery, as
IS SO often the case, was q pure accident,
which has given the most extraordinary
results.
The milk powder, or flour, Is rather like
ordinary flour, and can be packed In wood
or tins, or even In sacks or paper bags.
An American firm Is also reported TO
have made arrangements to sell milk
powder in Great Britain. English firms
are also now making 1t.

Book of Railway Statistics.

The interstate commerce commission
has in preparation a Ten-Year Book on
Railways in the United States, the de-
sign of which is to show the results Of
railway operation, as also the condition
under which railway property has Oper-
ated since the publication of the volume
on transportation by the census of 1890.
In addition to a series of condensed
statistical tables showing the changes
in mileage, equipment, earnings. expen-
SeS, traffic movement, railway capital,
accidents and other similar items, the
grea ter portion of which is taken from
the annual reports on file with the COM
mission, this publication will contain
statement of the statutory provisions of
the states and of the federal govern
ment, SO far as these pertain to the tax
alton of railway property to the organic
cation and administration of railway
commissions and to such other laws rs
limit, direct, and control the business
of transportation by rail. The compila-
ton of railway traffic prepared for the
senate committee on finance, and pub
lished by that committee in 1898, has
been amplified and brought down to
date. The tendency toward organiza
ton for the purpose of uniformity in
administration, SO far as this is repre-
scented by associations among railway
officers and employees, finds place in this
publication, as also chapter upon rail-
way photography and the railway press
during the past ten years. It may be
added that the statistical exhibits con-
tanned in the Ten Year Book are a con-
tinuation of the ten-year exhibit in the
census volume on transportation, thus
providing the student of railway man
agement a series of statistical tables
uniformly compiled, covering a period
of 20 years

MEXICAN CENTRAL EXTENDS.
Preparing to Fight With Mexican
National For Supremacy.

The Mexican government has just
granted a concession to the Mexican
Central Railway company for the build
ing of a railway from Torreen, Mex, to
Trevine, a distance of 100 miles. 1t is
announced that the line will be built
Immediately, and surveyors are already
in the field locating the route. This
piece of road will parallel the Mexican
international railroad, all the way from
Torreen to Trevine At Torreen the
line will connect with the main line IF
the Mexican Central, and at Trevine
connection Will be made with the Mon
terey and Mexican Gulf railroad, which
is also owned by the H. Clay Pierce syn
dictate.
The Mexican International recently
passed into the hands of the Speye4% in
terests that own the Mexican National
railroad, and the announcement of the
building of this parallel line by the
Mexican Central is looked upon in rail-
way circles as the beginning of a fight
for supremacy in the traffic situation
between the Mexican Central and the
Mexican National interests.

WAGSTAFF DISPUTES 1T.
Says Mrs. Chase's Bickerdyke Story
Is Wrong.

D. r. Wagstaff, police judge of Sa-
lima. takes exception to the story of the
Cheyenne raid in 1868 as given by Mrs.
Julia A. Chase, of Hiawatha, in her
sketch Of Mother" Bickerdyke before
the recent annual meeting of the state
historical society, and which was pub
lished in the State Journal
Judge Wagstaff is himself an old In
dian fighter. At the time of the Chey-
enne raid he was sheriff of Saline coun-
ty and he says he remembers the incl
dents perfectly. He claims the Indians
never came within 30 miles of Salina in
a raid after Mother Bickerdyke settled
there
Mrs. Chase. on the other hand. says
she secured the data for her sketch from
Mother Bickerdyke herself three or four
years ago.
In speaking of the matter Judge wag-
staff said:
After Mother Bickerdyke came to
Salina there never was an Indian raid
this side of Fort HarIxer, which was the
strongest fort on the plains and stood
just this side of where Ellsworth is now.
There was a raid on the Solomon
river in 1868 which reached as far as a
point near where Glasco now stands. 1
was sheriff Of this county then and I
headed a party of 25 horsemen that went
to the rescue of the settlers DR.. Crow
ley, NJ d. Sampson and several others
from here went along. Col. Phillips,
however, was not in the party.
I'VE rode up west of Minneapolis to
about the place Delphos now occupies
and DR.. Crowley tended the sick and
wounded. About a dozen settlers were
killed, among them three Marshall boys
and a stockman from the Republican
named Thompson, who was engaged to
marry a sister Of the Marshalls. A par
ty of six of us recovered their bodies.
The whole number of Indians in this
raid didn't exceed 20.
"A later raid occurred on Spillman
creek on the Upper Saline west of Lin
coin Center and a few Indians ran in
on the Solomon near where DelphoS
now stands and carried off Mrs. Nor
gan, a prisoner. These were the nearest
RAIDS to Salina after Mother Bickerdyke
came here and Col. Phillips did not en-
gage in either one of them. If he fought
against the Indians at all after Mother
Bickerdyke'S advent here it was west
of Fort Har6er. remember the events
as distinctly as though they occurred
yesterday and I am certain my state
mentS are correct"

GRIMES MUST GO TO JAIL.
Clerk in State House Faces Old
Sentence For Selling Liquor.

c. P. Bolmar. an ex-justice of the peace,
has appeared before the county commits
sioners to notify them that he wished to
have the county pay his fees and the costs
in the Johnson-Etzel liquor case tried be-
fore him in 1897.
Johnson, whose proper name Is Daniel
Grimes, employee in the state treasu-
rer's office, and Ethel were arrested on
the charge of selling liquor at Garfield
park on Labor day of 1897 when a riot
took place, and Harry Head and A G.
Carruth were severely injured by the mob
when the officers and citizens raided the
place where the liquor was sold. Grimes
and Etzel were convicted on three counts
by Justice Bolmar. They appealed to the
district court. The case against Etzel was
dismissed and Grimes found guilty on
two counts. Grimes appealed his case to
the court of appeals, where it was con-
tinued by the attorney general five times.
When the court of appeals went out of
business Rolmar had the case transferred
to the supreme court. When the case
came up for trial before the supreme court
Grimes attorneys had made no showing,
and the court ordered a mandate returned
to the district court for the sentence of so
days and a fine of 500 be imposed on
Grimes. The duty of Judge HaZen now is
to order the sentence carried out and
Grimes only hope of relief now is pardon
from Gov. Stanley.
