Officer A. j. Ault at the railway station
Just as the Northwestern passenger

evening.
The trouble arose over the attempt
of the officer to keep the crowd back
from the train SO as to allow passen-
gers to alight from the coaches. Large
crowds congregate at the depot in the
evenings to meet friends and see the
latest arrivals, and the police have been
having some difficulty in keeping the
crowd back. It seems that on this oc-
casion Ault had poked Duke in the
stomach with his club after having orr
dered him back. Duke WIS angered at
the officers method. and after a few
words he attacked Ault and took his
club from him. When he had secured
the club, to keep the officer off he
struck him on the head cutting the
skin and knocking Ault to the plat
form. When Ault regained his feet he
drew his revolver. but this was also
taken from him by Duke. The gun was

How His Western Ideas Have Made Trouble For Hi

field for a reformer; it was virgin soil
From all other points OF view 1t was
the most hopeless country under the
sun. No one but man of the most
reckless enthusiasm would have at
tempted il. Over the whole land there
had fallen the slumber of at least nine
centuries. 1t was certainly that far be-
hind the world. In no other state was
life SO insecure. SO dependent on each
individuals capacity to protect himself
and overawe his neighbor. Abdul found
himself the ruler of a land so given over
to anarchy and blackmail that it was
Impossible to find an honest man of his
own race. Every Moor was subject to
instant arrest and Imprisonment, from
which he could only hope to escape by
paying sum that must beggar him.
All the ministers made practice of
dealing in pardons. There was not a
railroad or even four wheeled vehicle
in the kingdom. There were few
bridges and practically no regular
roads All trade was conducted by
mule and camel back. Morocco was at
once the most fertile and most squalid
state of Barbary.
About this time, fortunately for the
young sultan's liberal development.
there came to the court at Fee soldier
of fortune, man who might have
shared the experiences of Sir Walter
Raleigh had he been contemporary of
that worthy. He had lived in a dozen
countries, had served In more than one
army and possessed a marvellous talent
for organization. This clever adventur-
er, Sir Henry Maclean. Scotchman
at once won the friendship of the sultan
and was assigned the important task of
putting the Moroccan army on re-
spectacle footing. This he proceeded
to do. and he did it SO well and so
quickly that it seemed like witchcraft

Henry IL was THAI Abdul heard the sto-
ry of the wonderful things in tile outer

er only thirty feet wide. He also treated
himself to a menagerie gathered from
all parts of the world at an enormous
expense He filed the royal palaces

monographs and all the electrical de-
vices he could obtain. All this was
amusing and possibly instructive for
Abdul, but it was the madness of
witchcraft to the hoary headed Mos
lens who were trying to steer the ship
of state.
Another bold departure from the
Moslem practice was even more serious
in it's consequences. An Englishman
was shot one day at Fee without provo
cation. His slayer. a fanatical tribes
man. took refuge in mosque Ac-
cording to Moorish custom. he was as
safe in that sanctuary as was the sui
tan in his palace. Abdul, however, did
not see fit to take that view of it. He
dragged the murderer out of the sane
tuary and shot him. Many OF the sui
tan's own soldiers deserted and went
over to a pretender who was at that
time preparing to make trouble. This
shrewd mahdi, making his appearance
from nobody knows where. secured
much capital out Of Adults foolhardi-
ness. 1t gave him opportunity to ac-
cuse the young sultan of forsaking the
religion of his fathers and following the
practices of the hated Nazarenes. Ow-
ing to the willy rascals cleverness and
the intrigues of the French. who would
like to attach slice of the sultans do
mains to Algeria, Abdul has had plenty
to disturb his dreams. To this is now
added the complication of the abduc-
ton. A less astute despot than Abdul
might feel fiattered at having attracted
attention, but the sultaD
knows how unsafe 1t may be.

BIG TUNNEL COMPLETED.
Chicago Great Western Finishes I'm
provement Costing 100000.

>
Dubuque, June 3o-The great tun-
mel of the Chicago Great Western Rail
road Company near Rodden, ILL.,, has
been completed and the company ac-
cepted the work Tuesday. 1t took four
years to complete the work and it cost
s1,000,000
When the Great Western built thar
line thru this part of the country they
met an obstacle in the hill near Roll
den, a few miles below East Dubuque.
1t was decided to tunnel 1T. The risk
was very great, insofar as the engi-
neers did not know whether they would
strike solid rock or not. IL the hill was
solid everything would be all right,
but unfortunately the engineering par
ty came upon a lot of she'll rock. The
work had advanced too far to stop, and
the Great Western found It necessary
to line the interior with timber. The
wood work held for a couple of years,
but when the water came thru. it pat
an end to the wood. and it was found
necessary to patch and improve right
along. This was of great inconNen-
fence to the company, as they did not
siare run thru the tunnel at a high rate
of speed. Every precaution was taken
10 prevent injury and the officials sue
seeded although they We're forced to

had no comments to make. 1t was

The two on the veranda smoked. To
the right, at the end of the sawdust
street, the mill sang its varying and

pine perfumed the air. Not hundred
yards away the river slipped silently
to the distant blue Superior, escaping
