Bio RAILWAY Meroer.

Railroad men at Omaha believe they
discern an attempt to form another
big railway merger almost equal in
importance to the Northern Securities
company, which the federal govern
ment is trying to dissolve. The Chi
cago and Alton, it is reported. is to
be absorbed by the Chicago and North
western, which in turn is to be ANAL
gamated with the Union Pacific sys-
ZEN.
The anxiety Of the Union Pacific
to obtain a thorough route to st.
Louis by the time the Worlds fair
opens is the basis for the statement
that the deal Is to be completed with
out delay. The trackage which will
be controlled by the new merger will
be large. and the corporation will rank
mex to Hills combination.

SENTENCE


Talents never ear out.
Nothing can be saved by selfishness.
Creeds are but the clothes OF re.
ligion.
The fear of God makes no man
afarid.
The truth we live .lilts to higher
truth.
The faultless man is usually friend
less.
The faith is dead that knows no
change.
Truth has many robes. but only one
face.
No man wins a crown who works for
The mar who signs always enjoys
sorrow.
To be willing to be anything is to
be nothing.
They who are never weary are al.
ways weak.
To live more We must be willing to
lose much.
There is no moral light where there
is no spiritual light.
No man can be liberal to others who
is not loyal to himself.
Some men preserve their princi-
pies by never using them.
The salvation of a sermon has often
meant the loss Of some soul.
Some preachers mistake a sluggish
intellect for a spiritual heart.
When you keep one sin in the closet
you may expect a brood in the parlor.
God wants men to live for their fell
lows rather than to die for their faith.
It is some consolation to know that
when you aim at nothing you are sure
to hit it.-Chicago Tribune.

NEW MEN FOR BIG FOUR.
Arkansas County Democrats Propose
Departure from Custom.

The Arkansas county Democratic
convention has instructed its delega-
ton to the state convention to work
and vote for new men as delegates at
large from Arkansas to the Demo
cratic national convention, rather
than vote for those men or officials
upon whom custom has usually placed
these honors. Under these instruc-
tions the Arkansas county delegation
will not vote for Senators Berry and
Clarke and Gov. Davis as members CT
the "big four"
Among those who are mentioned
for egates-at-large are ]. H. Hine-
mon, J. W. Crockett and Judge J. II.
Evans. Senators Berry and Clarke
will both be delegates in the state
convention and Gov Davis will be
present. It is assumed i'm political
circles that their friends will insist
upon them as three of the august
uuartette, but it remains to be seen
whether the convention will adept the
view taken by the Arkansas county
Democrats.

COTTON BELT DISPUTE.
Commission Refused to Take 1t UP
as a Formal Arbitration.

1t seems that the Interstate Com
merce commits ion refused to take up
the Cotton Belt dispute as a formal
arbitration, but have consented to ex-
anime into the melits of the contrC-
versy and make recommendatisns
looking to the settlement between the
road and the freight bureau, says the
Memphis Morning News. If the case
had gone to them in the form of suit
it probably would not have been finally
decided by the court of last resort for
ten or fifteen years. Under the pres
ent arrangement the whole matter will
probably be adjusted in few weeks.
This is one tribunal, there fore, where
the extra judicial offices of court
are more desired than the exercise
Cf its regular judicial functions. In
| the meanteme the Cotton Belt has
come back and is doing business at
the old stand, just as We pre- Ii ted 1t
would dc. 1t could not afford to aban-
don the best city on it's system rather
than do justice, and the freight bu
reau we'll knew this fact when It was
standing so pat upon its demands and
it proposed means of enforcing those
demands.
