RAILROAD NOTES.

T. H. Larke. Northwestern passenger
agent of the Dominion line. has received
word from the company's head Office at
Montreal that the twin screw steamship
Canada. 10000 tons, has broken the rec
ord from Liverpool to Quebec. The boat
left Liverpool at p. m. Aug. 5. and
arrived at Quebec at p. m. Wednesday,
Aug. II. The steamer already held the
record for the trip between Liverpool
and Canada.
C. s. Fee. general passenger agent OF
the Northern Pacific. says a fine new
hotel is soon to be erected at "Larry's"
in the upper basin of Yellowstone Park.
to replace the present accommodations.
The travel to the West Is so heavy that
the Northern Pacific will probably main

ice of three daily trains each way.

The resignation of Secretary Root
will be placed in the hands of the presi-
dent at an early day. This has been
anticipated ever since he was named as
a member of the Alaska commission.
Indeed it is understood that he has
been for some time ready to retire, and
waiting only for such use to be made
of his place as would be Of creates
political service to his chief.
Mr. Root was not designed by nature
for the head of the military establish
ment of the United States, and possibly
not for any executive position He has
excellent professional ability ana
standing; but his services in the war
department will add nothing to his
fame as they lend no luster to the
country. He succeeded to the Office at
time when lines of policy had already
been so marked out and animos1tles
and controversies so sedulously cult1-
waited that he could have no initiative.
And his strenuous chief is not one I'M
der whom a secretary Of war with
ideas and policies of his own would
have exactly a happy time.

Contemporary Comment
The Strain That Breaks.

Mr.. Schwab's enforced retirement
points the old moral against the strain
That breaks-the pace that kills. If he
had remained a SHOEMAKER there is
every reason to believe that he might
have worked and enjoyed life for many
years to come. The development Of
the greatest steel industry in the world
did not shatter Carnegie. His finance
has not broken down Morgan or Sage.
The noise of the trip hammer and the
roar of the furnaces never even fretted
Mr.. Schwab's nerves. He was accus-
toned to them. 4 His pleasures were do
nestle, his recreation recreative-his
sleep sound, his digestion good.
But with the shift to New York, the
new burden Of financial responsibility,
the incitement to abnormal activity in
all directions.t a change came. Yacht
ing, automobiling, palace building,
dashes across the ocean and over Eu-
rope perilous CANDLES and side issues
in business, proved too much for even
an iron constitution and steel
nerves. The meteor was only a rocket
and the stick has come down. That
is the story in brief.-New York

SHUTS OUT TRANSFORMERS.
Roads Expect Higher Class of Theatrical
Business in Northwest This Year.

The prospects point to a heavy the
atrical business by the Northern trans
continental lines this fall and winter.
The jump from the Twin Cities to the
coast is long one, and has often, in the
past, deferred the larger companies from
taking the Northern route in visiting the
Pacific coast or from visiting it at all.
A slight idea of the cost of going to the
Pacific coast is gained from the fact that
the transportation bills alone Of one large
company may be $4,000. Of course 1t Is
paid in inStalments, all being paid before
the company leaves the railway line.
The regular higher rates charged the
atricaI companies this year, and the
stricter regulations as to excess baggage,
WILL it is believed. tend to reduce the
transforming companies. many of them
inferior, which have frequently invaded
the Northwestern territory, to the dam
age of the larger and better productions.
Another fact that makes theatrical COM
panies more ready to take the long. Pa
cifc trip than before is the heavy bust
ness done. The business at Seattle,
Portland and Spokane exceeds that done
at San Francisco, and one and o-nlght
records for such artists as Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, Nat Goodwin and Anna Held
are held by North Pacific coast towns.
David Warfield played to $500 gross at
North Yakima, town of less than 5,0Oo,
and four figures is considered good
house at the best Twin City theaters.
There is a long list of the best attrac-
lions contemplating making the Pacific
coast trip this year, and revenue from
this sort of travel is expected to be larger
than ever before.

NO REASON For DELAY.

1t is agreed on all hands that the
city council should accept the propo-
sails made by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for the vacation Of
those streets which are necessary to
the carrying out of the extensive i'm
provements contemplated by the COM
pany. No objection is made to the
proposition and the assembly has al
ton for the vacation of the property.
1t only remains for the board of alder
men to approve the action of the other
municipal body.
While there does not appear to be
any opposition to the passage of the
ordinance by the aldermen, still it is
possible that delay may be suggested
and the measure sent to the committee
on streets next Tuesday evening.
This would be an entirely super
fiuous proceeding. The matter has
been thoroughly canvassed, and action
may as well be had by the whole body
as by sending the measure through the
routine of committee consideration.
The passage of the ordinance is as.
sured and there is no possible excuse
for delay. On the other hand there are
many reasons why prompt action
should be taken
The railroad company is DESTROYS of
starting work on the improvement of
the property at once. The undertaking
will require much time in it's compile
ton and the shippers need the improved
service at once. If the board Of alder
men acts with the promptitude which
marked the proceedings of the assem-
bly, in the matter operations may be
commenced and carried well along be-
fore the weather puts a stop to out
door work. Delay now might mean the
postponement Of operations until
spring, and this would be at the charge
of the patrons of the road rather than
at the cost of the company.
The measure is a good one; it has
been approved by everybody concerned
and the public at large and the board
of aldermen should pass it at the next
meeting.

Macedonia Situation.

New life appears suddenly to have
been impaired to the instruction in
that group of Turkish vilayetes which
we call Macedonia. Another Russian
consul has been murdered-the second.
The revival of the revolt against Turk
lsh rule is said to be due to the pre-
mature outbreak of we'll organized,
long-prepared and possibly formidable
rebellion. There Is little doubt that the
situation is more serious" than it was
last spring, at least in a diplomatic
sense. The foreign consuIs in the
Balkans, who remain the chief, possi-
bly, the. only authentic sources Of in
formation, intimate as much. The
connection with the diplomacy of
Prince Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, throw
considerable; light upon the. whole in

Uneasyf Lies the Head.

I Government by assassination has it's
drawbacks, as King Peter of Servia is
learning. To massacre whole royal
house is an easy way to win a throne.
but the head under a crown so bIoodily
gained scarcely can fail to- lie uneasy.
Apparently the military cabal that .'re-
moved Alexander and Draga has
grown to the power and insolence of
a Preterian guard. King Peter issues
an appointment not to the liking of the
eutthroats, so they recall the copies of
the Official Gazette containing it, de-
stroy them and compel their sovereign
TO THINK of a candidate more accept
able to them. One of these fine morn
1ngs, unless the Kara Georgeviteh
seizes the reins of government with a
firm hand. he will wake UP and find
himself without, a crown. Another as
sassination at Belgrade would be the
logical outcome Of King Peters craven
compromise with the butchers of his
predecessor.-New York Press.

THE MINISTER'S HARD LOT.

The Rev. T. A. Miller, of Kimball,
S. D., has lost his job as preacher
because he painted and papered sa-
loon building. He says that his flock
kept him on such very short commons
that he had to do painting and paper
ing or starve. The preacher will have
the sympathy of other preachers who
have no knowledge Of painting and
papering and of the general public.
Mr.. Kinba1 will probably be the
better off for losing such flock as he
has been herding. He will find it more
profitable in the matter of gear to go
on painting and papering for the rum
seller who settles, than to keep on
embarrassing the Christians" who in
sist on having salvation free-or, at
least, inexpensive.
Here was a man who asked but lit
tie for his cure of souls. But he got
even less than he wanted. Striving for
the right does not always make man
forget the material things of the world,
such as eating and drinking. There
have been cases reported where mis-
sionaries got along without food, but
they are only verified in the affair of
the ancient who was fed by the ravens.
In South Dakota there are no ravens
worth mentioning and what few there
are are kept rustIing for themselves.
Mr.. Miller wanted to preach the Word
on Sundays, but his human appetite
got the better of him Monday and he
had to eat. He could WELD paste
brush like a Sunday magazine editor
and the paint brush was as handy TO
him as a Biblical test. So he went out
in search of work. The members of his
church did not need the services of a
painter or papefhanger. The man was
in despair until he met UP with
friendly saloonkeeper. The publican
put him to work The Miller family
larder was supplied as it is never had
been when the revenues of the house
came only from the church. Miller
and his family ate and gave thanks.
Perhaps the members of his flock
thought Miller was living too high, or,
possibly, they envied him the fairness
he had found in dealing with the rum
seller. In any event, they discharged
the preacher for having doings with
the evil one.

JUST BEFORE The BATTLE.

This evening, the law permitting, Col.
Corbett, bon vivant, erstwhile cham
pion and the most gentIemanly person
that ever donned a boxing glove, will
attempt to punch Col Jeffries, afore-
time blacksmith and plumber at
heart, into state of fnsensibiIity This
for the honor and glory of the phys
zeal culturists-and split of the TAX
irgs at the gate. The while an anx-
ious world awaits the event with what
patience it may.
For weeks We have been kept inform
ed as to the doings of the two heroes.
Their going forth and coming in has
been given to the world at some cost
in the matter of tolls and reportorial
imaginings. They have been studied
to the end that the comparative values
as muscle producers might be record
