Portuguese East Africa, which also
touch that road, thus making trans
continental line from east to west,
with Portuguese territory at either ter

coast the Germans have projected a
road from Walfisch Bay to Windhoek,
the capital of German southwest At
RIGA, and this will probably be extend
ed eastwardly until it connects with
the great transcontinental line from
"Cape to Cairo" which is to form the
great nerve center of the system, to
be contributed to and supported by
these branches connecting it with
either coast. Another magnificent rail-
way project, which was some years ago
suggested by M. Leroy Beaulieu, has
been recently revived, being no less
than an east and west transcontinental
line through the Soudan region, con-

the Egyptian railroads are, including
those now under construction. about
1.500 miles in length. Those of Cape
Colony and Natal are over 5000 miles,
and those of Portuguese East Africa
and the South African Republic an
other thousand. Taking into consid-
Grafton all of the roads now construct

total length reaches nearly 1880

every reason to believe that the great

developing mining regions of South At
RIGA with the north of the continent
and with Europe will be pushed to
completion. A large proportion of the
railways thus far constructed are
owned by the several colonies or states

to the government. while nearly al
that of Egypt is owned and operated
by the state.

THEN AND NOW.


x erumbling fort o'erlooks the plain
Where iron hail and leaden rain,
With thunder of artillery,
Once wrought wars work OF misery:
Yet over me while musing there
Such calm was brooding, and the air
From breath of roses was so sweet,
thought of swords to plowshares beat
Kline were seen grazing without fear
Over the sloping green-sward near,
And resting when the noon had come
Meath oaks that faced the lannon's boom
Which crimsoned many trampled clod;
Now daisies feck with snowf that sod.
While white doves coo unframed within
Redoubts reared for the battles din.
Grim parapets no longer frown
Upon a pent, beleaguered town;
The greater city in its might
And pride guards the dire conflicts site;
Sweet homes with comedy lawns are seen
Growing historic heights serene
In grace and beauty, safe apart
From tumult of the busy mart.
Nor is the fame forgotten here
Unto the heart devout more dear
Than grandest mansion wealth rears nigh,
But shrining poor mortality
While on that day of all the best,
Thrilled strangely onceb by the behest
To arms, the scene is of release,
Old foes now friends in VOWS of peace
In this slow-crumbling fort I see
Type of fray waged bitterly,
Yet whose remembered cup of woe
Is yielding to times tidal flow;
Though its dead heroes borne away
Whether in blue, or III the gray,
Claim their due share of votive bloom
Often as doth the Maytime come.

HIS DYING REVENGE.
Worst Thing He Could Do to Former
Rival Was to Have Him Marry
His Widow.

"You know Jack Clancy? No? Well,
listen now, and I'll tell you how he went
to the saints" said the quarry super
intendent, according to the New York
Tribune. Gle was fine, big man, well
liked by the boys. He had good time
living, barring an occasional expert
ence at home, and when he died every
body regretted it, except, perhaps, his
wife, Mrs Honoriah Emmeline Clancy,
who was Miss Norah Emma Brody be-
fore she took up with Clancy. Twas a
great courtship, but Clancy won out
in the end, and money changed hands
On the outcome. Clancy lived five
years after his marriage, but NO man
or woman ever heard him complain.
One day Clancy crept back to see why
a fuse hadn't reached, and rock caved
his ribs in. The doctor told him he
had to die, and he took it without a
twitch to his eyes. He lay still min
ute, and then he called his best friend,
Red Shaughnessy, to him. Red told me
afterward how it went.
Red said he, weak as kitten, but
smiling, I'm goin' to dol
"'Jack,' said Red, we are.'
"'Red,' said Clancy, we've allus been

Had a Place for Everything.

A resident of West Philadelphia was
entertaining friend from out of
town recently when the conversation
turned upon wives and their habits.
The Philadelphian had just explained
how carefully his better half was and
that she had place for everything.
"Why, do you know" he said, there
is not a thing in this house that can

had dressed this morning and turned

to success, provided only a vigor'
Gus and aggressive campaign is
waged. For this the wide ac-
quaintance of Judge Kinkaid in
the district and his experience in
previous cauvasses will surely
serve in good stead.
The people of the Sixth dis
trict have been enjoying unprece-
denied and constantly increasing
prosperity since the administra-
ton of national affairs under re-
publican policies. These effects
of republican prosperity have
been seen in the steadily weaken
ing grip of the fusionists, at one
time all-powerful there, which
ought to be entirely shaken off
at the coming election. The
ability of Judge Kinkaid to re-
present his constituency with
credit in congress is conceded by
all. He is closely identified with
the various interests of his sec
ton of the state, whose advance
ment will certainly be substanti-
ally promoted by his election. -

mination to stand by their pre-
fered candidate as long as he
was in the lead. Currie s sup
porters as we'll as Crimes men
declared themselves in favor of
staying with their, man and if
necessary die with him. 1t APP
peared from subsequent develop
ments that Beeman and Darr,
had canvassed the situation with
the view of finding an easy place
to light.
Balloting was again resumed
at 80, but the break that was
looked for did not come. Grimes
reached as high as 521s votes,
and Currie held from 43 to 50,
while Kinkaid held steadily onto
rs to 81 u. 1t was about three
O'Clock i'll the afternoon when
everybody thought they wanted
recess and 40 minutes were
taken. Up to that hour III for
NAL ballots had been recorded,
and the vote stood Kinkaid, 1871;
Grimes, 4S; Darr, 13; Beeman,
10; Currie, AZ; Cady, 9; Wall 9.
Whether the recess would de-
velope Wallis chances as a dark
horse or make Kinkaid, Grimes,
Currie or Cady, was mere mat
ter of speculation. But before
the 40 minutes had expired, the
deal was consumated. Beeman,
and Darr had joined forces and
found and easy place to light.
They had, by combining, 80
votes. kinkaid only needed 24H
votes to land him safely.
Chairman called the conven-
ton to order and called for re-
port of the committee on resolu-
tions. The report was read and
adopted. The resolutions were
very similar to those passed by
the Custer county convention.
The 17S roll was called, which
resulted as follows: Kinkaid,
124H; Currie, 43; Grimes, 30H;
Cady, .. Before the result of
the vote was announced, Senator
Currie moved that the nominal
ton of Judge Kinkaid be made
unanimous. The motion was
seconded by Judge Grimes, and
the motion went through amid
great excitement. For several
minutes the applause was i'm

ed carried, but the secretary's

The most extended republican
convention ever held in the
Sixth congressional district was
held at Crawford last week.
The meeting was called to or
der by chairman of the central
committee, Mcdonald, who i'm
troduced Judge Wall as temper
airy chairman of the convention.
Judge Wall on accepting the po-
sition thanked the committee for
the honor conferred and discuss
ed the political situation for
about thirty minutes in an able
an forcible manner. F. +. Keyer
was elected temporary secretary,
and p. Lambert assistant. The
usual committees were appointed.
The temporary organization was
made permanent. The conyen-
ton at once proceeded to BUSH
ness and on motion an informal
ballot was taken on candidates
for congress.
The informal ballot resulted in
Kinkaid IS, Currie 491a, Grimes
35H Beeman 10, Darr Is, Cady
IL.
Balloting continued until six
o'clock when a recess was taken
for supper.
Balloting was again resumed
at 7:30 and continued up to IL
o'clock p. M, when the Tooth
ballot had been called. There
being no prospect of a break the
convention adjourned to $50
next morning.
The recess during the night
instead of solving the problem
appearantly increased the effect
iveness of the dead lock that had
prevailed the previous day.
Balloting resumed at $3.50 a.
m. on the Is, varying but little
from the first cast. Kinkaid
would occasionally reach S1H
and frequently Currie would make
51A. A recess was taken about
10 o'clock when there was an
apparent deal entered into by the
Beenan, Grimes, Darr and Cady
supporters to nominate one of
the four by stampeding the Kin
kaid or Currie forces. The deal
was commenced with Grimes
and cast their combine forces for
him five times and alternated to
each of the other three until one
of them had secured enough
votes from the other candidates
to elect. But the ruse did not
effect the Currie and Kinkaid
forces sufficiently to elect.
Grimes vote run up to $50, Bee
man to sly, Darr SOH and Cady
sly. AS it took 1O4 to NOM
mate no election was secured
and the ballot dropped back to
the old score, with the exception
of gain of two votesfrom Blaine
for Currie and an occasional 81
vote to Currie from Cheyenne.
The recess at noon gave Kin
kaid'S men an opportunity to get
