Worlds Longest Tunnel Opened.

Rome, April 3.-The Simplon tunnel.
the longest in the world. was inaugu-
rated yesterday morning when from
the Swiss and Italian sides the first
trains passed through. meeting at the
center, where there was the iron door
which originally prevented the over
flow of torrent Of hot water and
which was yesterday opened for the
first time.
There was brief time spent in com
municating through the door by means
of hammering, and finally the door
was knocked down amidst frantic ap-
plause and cries of Long Live Switz-
erland" and Long Live Italy" Bands
played the Italian royal march and
the Swiss anthem. and the two parties
embraced and kissed each other.
Engineer Brandau, director of the
work on the Italian side. shook hands
with Engineer Rosemund, the director
of the work on the Swiss side, and the
Italian bishop Noveara embraced the
Swiss bishop Sien. The latter then
preached short sermon, in the course
Of which he said:
"The church blesses progress"
In the name of God he then blessed
the tunnel.

Five Dollars Easily Earned.

All boys like to earn a few pennies
now and then, but Mark Twain tells
of a very unusual way in which he
once made the princely sum of five dol
lars as small boy. AT one school he
attended there was Il strict rule against
marking the desks. Any boy discov-
cred mutilating a desk must be pun
ished-being offered his choice be-
tween paying five dollars or taking a
public whipping. The irresistible
combination of shiny-toDped desk
and brand-new knife in his pocket
was too much for Mark; he succumbed
to the temptation and whitfield away
until the teacher caught him. The
punishment was set for the following
day, and Marks father, thinking it a
pity the lad should be publicly
whipped gave him a lecture and a five
dollar bill. Five dollars looked pretty
big to Mark. He thought it over care
fully, and when the time came. with
the bill in his pocket, went up and took
the whipping.

Proposed subway system.

An elaborate supplemental system OF
underground railway lines in Greater
New York which, il constructed, on

Fourteen separate routes are pro-
vided for In the plans. They include
two additional subways, extending the
full length of Manhattan Island, one
of them reaching into the Bronx; sew

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY,

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent,
and clothing PAL. All these were prod
ucts of the farmer and stockman who
profted more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from .79S per ton
mile in 1897 to 1853 in 1903, loss
of "A per cent. The report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
Of railroad employees in the period was
a tritle above S.5 per cent.

HARMLESS AS A KITTEN.
Julius Caesar Redmond Created
Scenes in New Uim.

From Thursdays Daily.
Julius Caesar Redmond a mild-man-
nered man, yet unbalanced in the think
tank, was unconsciously creating scenes
in the Brown county court room during
the last few days of the Koch trial. He
didn't mean to do anything wrong, and
was surprised when Chief of Police
Klause took him in tow. Redmond lab
ored under the delusion that he was the
Count of Monte Cristo, possessed of
money galore and diamonds and precious
stones without number. Also that he
owned large tracts of land, and his
rents were of such magnitude that he
could buy automobiles to supply every
man in town. His dream was shat
tered sadly, however, when he went into
one of the banks in New Ulm and at
tempted to get couple of notes cashed.
These notes were for different sums and
were signed by a variety of persons. One
for $9S,646, was dated Dead Sea, Asia
and was signed by John the Baptist
Another for 1862 bore the signature of
Cassie L. Chadwick and Nan Patterson.
Another note for $375.20 was dated
July 375th and was signed by J. Pier
pont Morgan and Andrew Carnegie.
Still another was an order by the Apos-
tie Peter for $39,S75, while the last
one was written by Peter the Great and
was for the sum of $4,000.
Redmond carried valise of the vim
tage of 1900 Some timid people
thought it contained dynamite and few
bombs, which he was liable to throw
at any minute. Redmond was cross
eyed and wore the smile that never
came off. He was indeed as harmless
as kitten. He did not realize the COM
motion he was creating.
