Don't Forget the Good There is in Life

While the air Is filled with gloomy
stories of graft, of dishonesty in high
places, of bosses and their satellites
who have plundered the public, let us
not forget that as a people we are no
worse than our forefathers, while
there is good ground for belief that
the race may have improved in moral
tone and manly vigor, says the News
Scimiter.
There have been corrupt men, evil
men, in all times and in all lands. A
thousand years ago stories Of graft, Of
corruption, of evil in its manifold
forms, disturbed and distressed the
people in nations now dead and gone.
Through the thousands Of years to
come, while nations rise, flourish and
decay, the bosses will continue to
mount the slippery steps of moral de-
pravity to power and the voice Of the
reformer will cry out during the
countless years against the oppressors'
wrong even as 1t cries out now.
We talk of the desire to get rich
quick as though it were a new disease
implanted only in the minds of the
people now on earth, a form of spirit
ual decay entirely unknown In other
ages. The hunger for riches is as old
as life itself, as widespread as want.
Corrupt men may noun: the ladder
| of financial success until they stand
at the top as leaders in finance, In
politics, but the slow-moving, patient
public-the honest, sound. wholesome

the masks from their faces and sends
them to prison cells or makes of them
pariahs cast out by clean society.
At the core. the people are sound.
The reiterated tales of wrongdoing
the widely exploited stories of vice
the continuous charges OF corruption
while fortified by facts and probably
indisputable, are prone to make III
forget that In every city. town anc
hamlet honest, sober, truthful mer
and loving, virtuous, Godfearing wo
men are living upright lives, corrodet
by no thought of plundering theil
neighbors or rising to power through
an enlarged capacity for taking advan
tage of their fellow creatures weak
nesses.
We can look too often and too lont
at the dark picture of human frailty
A healthy mind may be corrupted b!
constant contact with evil things.
While not forgetting the existence
of evil, 1t Is well also to remembe
that there is a brighter. a better.
nobler side to life and allow the minC
to dwell upon the good there is In 1t
A little sunshine in the soul will

GOVERNMENT OWES HIM.
Indian War Veteran Has Been Trying
for SO Years to Get Pay.

for so Years to Get Pay.
For SO years Asa Fowler, who
fought in the battle of the Block
House at Seattle in 1856 has been
trying to secure his payment from the
government for that service, and
few days ago he received notice that
the claim had been allowed. only to
find that no appropriation had been
made by congress to cover 1t. The
amount allowed him by the claims de-
partment is $3.50.
Mr.. Fowler now lives at Toppenish,
Wash, and feel that he has been
swindled in some manner by the gov
ernment of some of its accounting Of
| ficers At the time of his discharge
from the service Mr.. Fowler turned
| into the proper authorities his arms
and equipment used by him as SOL
der. Now that the claim has been
allowed for his services he finds that
he has been charged for his arms
| Mr.. Fowler served as private In
Captain Hewitts Company II, from
October 25, 1855, to January 25, 1855.
and in Captain Lander's Company A
from January 20, 1855 to July 20,
| 1856. His salary and allowances Tor
the period served was s145.31, but in
| the account as audited by the auditor
for the war department he Is charged
with S135.51 for clothing, arms and
equipments, leaving the government
debtor to him in the sum of $3.50.
While in the service Mr.. Fowler
used a horse and saddle furnished by
! bir,eaIf which wore lost in one of the
engage ments and he put in claim
for them to the government This
claim was disallowed on account of
the fact as noted in his notice OF al
lowance of the claim, that the records
do not show that the horse was lost.
The trouble in the account appears to
be the very careless manner In which
the records were kept by the volun-
teer officers Of the companies at the
time.

LIcoRlcE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation of Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.

Pretty nearly 100000 worth OF
licorlce is used up in this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made from the
wooden twigs and branches of tree.
But In reality the licorice wood is the
root of very pretty. dainty plant.
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on one
side and pale silver green on the 9th.
sr. The licorice plant is a perennial.
and in England, where they are trying
TO make an industry of raising II, the
e1perimeuters plant 1t in rows be.
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it al
together. The licorice plant throws
out immensely fleshy roots, full of
Juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth,
and good, big hole has to ee dug u
get them out The llcoriee wood, as
We see II here, represents only about
half the original weight and size OF
the root. for fully so per cent OF tie
juice is lost in drying It Therefore
the licorlce dealers are getting TO be
more and more in favor Of squeezing
the Juice Of the roots on the spot and

Railway BFOtherhOOds to Begin q
 Great Movement.
 Chicago, Sept 27-The Tribune to- day says:
 Preparations are under way for a concerted movement on the part of the railway brotherhoods to secure a re- duction of the present working hours for railway employees all over the coun- try.
 The move already has been discussed in the grand councils of the organiza- tions. It is expected that it will as- sume definite form within the next two months.
 The grievance committee of many Western railroads will gather in Chi cago in December to discuss the changes in working conditions. At the same time the schedules governing wages and hours will expire on at least three Western roads the North western, the Burlington and the St. Paul.
 According to plans now laid the op- portunity will be seized to broach the proposed demands of the employees.
 The present hours of work on the railroads range from ten to fourteen. but in no case are they fixed This is due to the nature of the employment. The brotherhoods, it is said, have no intention of appealing for a limited work day, They have planned rather to seek general reduction which shall be propOrtionate in all branches of the railroad service.

Carter's Defense Attacked.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Attorneys for the Federal government today made q vigorous attack on the defense of former Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter, charged with defrauding the govern ment out of $2,500,00O. Circumstantial evidence was introduced to show that on several occasions when large pay ments were made to Gaynor and Greene, the government contractors, Carter deposited money alleged to be his share of the division of the profits to his credit in New York.
 The defendant and his attorney ob- jected to the introduction of documen- tary evidence consisting of bank checks and deposit slips, the objection being based on the ground that there was no record in the case that Carter ever re- ceiNed money from the contractors.

DUEL ON TRAIN.
Neither Participant of Desperate En-
 counter Can Live.

counter Gan Live.
 Bloomington, H., Sept. 27.-One Of the most desperate encounters that ever happened in Wabash Railroad train occurred last night between John E Ryan, of Chicago a, messenger on train No. 13, due in Decatur at 3:13 o'clock this morning, and Edward c. Greene, also of Chicago, former express mes senger, and later employed by a Ham mond, Ind, firm. Both men are seri- ously wounded and cannot live, each having received three bullets in the fight in the car which lasted for miles
 Greene says that he got on the ex- press car at Forty-seventh Street, Chi cago, intending to go to his home at Pittsfield to visit relatives. He was an old friend of Ryan, and the latter, he claims, permitted him to ride. He claims that he assisted Ryan on the trip with the express matter and that the two began drinking. Jokes led to quarrel and Greene says both drew guns at the same time. Ryan claims that the shooting began west of Be mont, while Greene ayers that the first shot was fired before the train reached Cerro Gordo. Ryan claims that he did not see Greene on the car until the train reached Cerro Gordo and he be- lieved Greene jumped on for the pur- pose of robbery. Ryan also says that when he told Greene that he thought he was visiting in Chicago, the latter told him it was none of his business, and pulled gun.
 The men clinched and both with re- volvers drawn rolled about on the car floor The men then separated and each sought shelter in the car while waiting for the other to appear in order to shoot. As the train drew near De- catur both men fired and both went down, but were on their feet in short time and the duel continued. When the train neared Decatur, Greene opened door and jumped from the car. He was unable to run and was found an hour later by the police. Ryan says that he believed robbery was the motive when he shot.
 Greene has a bullet in the breast and another In the right lung. while third ball lodged in the abdomen. Ryan was shot in the left jaw, in the ear and in the shoulder Both men are in diff ferent hospitals
 The officials or none of the trainmen were aware of the terrible battle that was being waged until the train reached Decatur when the car door was seen open and the trainmen found Ryan in pool of blood on the floor.
