Run over by Switch Engine.

Lincoln, Nov. 7.-Orsamus V. Eaton,
one of the pioneer business men OF
Lincoln, a member of the board Of
city aldermen, was run over by o
switch engine in the Burlington yards
and almost instantly killed. Mr.,
Eaton was on his way home and took
a short cut by following the railroad
tracks. 1t is supposed he stepped
from one track to avoid a train di'
rectly in front of the switch engine
on another track.

THE TREE L
A Curious Vine That F1Ourishes In
Lower Central America.

A Curious Vine That F1Ourishes In
Lower Central America.
One Of the curious forest growths Of
the isthmus of Panama and lower Cen
trail America In general Is the vine
which the Spaniards call matapalo, or
tree killer" This vine first starts In
life as a climber upon the trunks Of the
large trees, and, owing to its marvel
ously rapid growth, sOon reaches the
lower branches. At this point 1t first
begins to put out its "feelers"-tender,
harmless looking root shoots, which
soon reach the ground and become as
firmly fixed as the parent stem. These
hundreds Of additional sap tubes give
the whole vine a renewed lease Of life,
and it begins to SEND out It's aerial ten
drills in all directions. These intwine
themselves tightly around every limb
Of the tree, ven creeping to the very
farthermost tips and squeezing the life
out Of both bark and leaf. Things go
ON at this rate but n short while before
the forest giant Is compelled to sue
cumb to the gigantic parasite which Is
sapping its lifeblood. Within a very
few years the tree rots and falls away,
leaving the matapalo standing erect
and hollow, like a monster vegetable
devilfsh lying upon its back with Its
horrid tentacles clasped together high
in the air.

St. Paul, Jan. 1.-The Republican
Senatorial caucus was held here last
night, and was attended by 129 out of
total of $50 Republican members of
the House and Senate.
w. B. Anderson, of Winona, was
elected chairman and Elmer E. Adams,
OF Fergus Falls, secretary.
The roll was called, and it was
found that the members were practi-
cally unanimous for Clapp, who re-
ceived 1913 votes, and Gilfillan l. The
result of the caucus is that Senator
Clapp will be triumphantly reelected
to succeed himself on Jan. II.
Following the vote, Senator Clapp
was invited in, and made a splendid
address, pledging his unqualified sup
port for the Cooper bill giving the In
terstate Commerce Commission power
to regulate railroad rates, and declar-
ing himself in hearty sympathy with
President Roosevelt on the trust ques-
ton.

Fred HI. MichaelsOn, who for the
last two years conducted the Sank
Centre Avalanche, this week retires
from the newspaper field in Minnesota
and will remove to the Pacific coast
on account of his wife's health.
Mr.. Michaelson assumed control OF
the Avalanche two years ago. Dur
ing his management the paper has
more than doubled in subscription,
its advertising patronage has increas-
ed over hundred per cent and he has
made it one of the most interesting
and breezy country papers in the
state.
Although comparatively young in
years Mr.. Michaelson is a veteran in
the newspaper business having been
engaged in it for eighteen years.
Ten years of the time in conducting
country newspapers and eight years
working on metropolitan papers and
magazines.
During his residence in this city he
has acquired the respect and esteem
of all our citizens to a remarkable de-
gree on account of his business abil-
tiles and geniality.
The departure of himself and es-
Unable wife causes general regret in
the city and all join in wishing them
Fortunes best favors wherever they
may locate.

ponderous body, arms like piston
rods, legs that suggested oak saw-logs
and feet that reminded me of pair
of anvils encased in leather. His
clothes seemed tossed on him with a
pitch-fork. There was no more grace
about him than there is about a
rhinoceros, but everything about the
man and his appearance betokened
self-confidence, honesty, integrity,
determination, perseverance, persist
ency, courage, aggressiveness and
stubborness.
Cleveland is man of opinions and
believes in his own ideas, his con-
fidence in his own judgment is
monumental. If he thinks a thing
is right it matters not if everybody
else thinks it is wrong it does not
alter his opinion in the slightest.
His Cabinet Officials were not
"advisers" but simply clerks who
carried out his orders.
His policies were all Cleveland
policies, he consulted no one in their
formulation and did not ask, but de-
manded assistance of his subordinates
in their execution. His courage is
of the highest order and his integrity
is answering. He turned down the
most powerful democratic organization
in the country; Tammany, with a
jolt from which it has never recovered,
because he did not believe in their
political methods. He snapped his
fingers in the face of David B. Hill
because he was tricky although Hill
at that time was complete master of
what is known in New York as the
"up state democracy" He was the
only presidential candidate ever no.
minated by the democratic party who
was opposed by the delegation from
his own state and in defiance of its
protests. AS President, with brazen
effrontry he threw the gauntlet of
defiance in the face of the British lion
in the Venezuelan controversy, yet
none knew better than he did that
neither our army or navy was in a
condition to make his bluff good.
But his nerve won.
He unhesitatingly broke with his
party when it declared for "free silver"
and was the one man who prevented the
adoption of law providing for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of one to sixteen.
There is not an intelligent public
man but il aware OF the fact had
joined the silver democrats in 1896,
aud thrown the tremendous weight
of his personal influence their favor
they would have swept the country.
Cleveland defeated Harrison but he
elected Mckinley. No one knew
better than Cleveland himself, that
his political action in 1896 meant the
snuffing out of his political career,
but he hesitated not a single instant
in taking such action.
He is the best loved and best hated
democrat in the United States.
