The Annihilation of Distance.

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be today
and really are today than was the
case few decades ago. When weeks
and months were required for COM
municarions between the United
States and Europe the countries of the
old world appeared to be long way
off. Now the circumference of old
earth is belted with telegraph and
cable lines in every possible direction.
What happens today in Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, South America and
the great islands Of the sea is made
known to us tomorrow by great news
papers like the Chicago Record
Herald, whose foreign correspondents
are located in every important city in
the world outside of the United States.
In addition to it's own staff correspon-
dents The Record Herald enjoys the
foreign news service of the New York
Herald, famous for many years for
the reliability of its foreign news,
and also of that great cooperative
news gathering organization, the as
ISOLATED Press. No other daily news
paper in America possesses facilities SO
varied and extensive for covering the
news of all nations 23-1

ANOTHER AUTHORITATIVE REPORT.

When the P lie Opinion an
nounced several weeks ago the rumor
of the absorption of the B., G. r. & N.
railroad by the c., r. l. & P. it was
thought to be only rumor, with but
little hopes of it becoming reality.
Since that time, however, scarcely a
week has passed but some daily paper
has commented upon it as certain to
occur in the near future. The follow
ing from a recent issue of the Min
neapolis Journal adds to our hopes
that this end will soon be accomplish.
ed:
Present plans of Rock Island Off
Gals include the complete absorption
OF the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern road within short time.
This information comes to the Journal
from an authoritative source
Minneapolis is to become the north
ern terminue of the Rock Island sys-
tenn. 1t is probable that the official
list OF the Cedar Rapids road will be
cut down to some extent. All its pre-
sent plans for strengthening its posi-
tion in northwestern traffic will be
carried out. This is but a continu-
ance of the Rock Islands policy of
building upa big strong system reach
ing the principal TERMINAL and ship
ping centers of the middle west. 1t
also includes Capitalization of man
agement to be directed from Chicago.
The new blood in the Rock Island
is gradually supplanting the old.
President w. B. Leeds is taking the
reins of authority from R. R. Gable,
chairman of the board.
The Cedar Rapids road operates a
total mileage of 1887 miles. The
majority of its stock is owned by the
Rock Island, but it has maintained a
separate corporate existence. 1t is
the present Chicago connection of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis. There is a
definite report in railway circles that
a shake-up in the Rock Islands official
list is duel in short time and many
old, familiar faces will disappear.
The Moores. and their allies in the
new element on the Rock Island are
endeavoring to make the system one
of the most powerful and aggressive
in the country and the Cedar Rapids
road fits in nicely with their plans.

Burned by Fire at the Winneshiek.

A fire which came near resulting
disastrously for the Winnesheik hotel
about $3.50 O'Clock Saturday morning
severely burned the second cook. Miss
Lille Anderson, of Waterville, about
the hands, back and limbs, so that she
has been in great pain ever since.
She accidently tipped over lamp in
her room and the draperies, etc.
were soon in blaze, in extinguishing
which she burned herself quite
seriously. The fire was gotten under
control and put out in very few
moments by the employees of the
houses, else it might have resulted in
the destruction of the building.

outside of his home county. He is
hardly known in other parts of the
district, and will doubtless not be
able to develop much outside strength.
On the other hand Mr.. Haugen, as it
now seems, will have Winnesheik,
Worth, Howard, Mitchell, Clayton,
with his chances good in Allamakee,
Fayette, Floyd and Chickasaw. As
we look at it now, he is almost GER
tain to be renominated.
A number of other candidates, have
been suggested, such as w. L. Eaton,
of Usage, H. I. Reed, of Cresco, d.
w. Clements, of West Union, and @.
d. Ellis, of Charles City, but we dc
not believe that any of them will enter
the race, or that they could carry
enough votes to defeat Mr.. Haugen il
they should.
The denomination of Mr.. Haugen
will meet with the approval of a
majority of the republicans of this
county. He is sterling representa-
tive Of the Scandinavian element. and
is a hard working, conscientious mem
Der of the house. He will doubtless
be accorded the delegation from Win
nesheik county without opposition.
The Fourth district convention will
besheld at Charles City on Thursday,
June 10Th. The county convention fol-
this county has been called for Satur-
day, June 14th. Caucuses should be
called without delay.

N. H. Adams & Sons seed houses has
been purchased by them and fitted up
into commodious and comfortable off

business has been increasing to such
an extent that additional Office room

them an opportunity to utilize steno-
