THE WELCOME TO BRYAN.

New York bay has been the scene
of many notable naval pageants and
water festivals, but seldom of one
which drew the attention of the whole
country as did that which went out
with banners to meet the ship that
brought Bryan back to America after
one of the most remarkable circuits
of the globe ever made by a traveller,
says the ST Louis Republic
Not even a national convention of
the democratic party could assemble
in New York a greater number of
ardent and patriotic democrats from
remote parts of the country than
gathered in the Eastern metropolis
to take part in the great demonstra-
ton by which his return will be
formally celebrated
The last great democratic gather
ing in New York was the national
convention which met on the Fourth
of July. 1865, and nominated Sey-

IRISH FARMER HAMMERED.
Excessive Freight Rates Prevent Free Transport of His
 Products.

An important economic fact is point ed out by Charles Edward Russell in Everybody's Magazine:
 Let us see. In present conditions the one opportunity for the Irish farm CT is in dairy products. For these, he has exceptional advantages. a moist, moderate climate and rich pastures. Irish butter is probably the best in the world; it's flavor is marvellous, to quote Jerry Stickles. Here is an enormous market for dairy products right at Ire lands door, for London and most of England must import butter. Ireland can raise almost unlimited quantities of dairy products, and yet Irish butter, for all it's excellence, Is rare in Eng land. Of what use is land to the Irish farmer if he cannot get his products 10 market? He might as well be on coral reef in the Pacific. It is the rates charged oa the Irish railroads that shut hin in like walls. Here are a multiplicity of small lines, separate companies. all owned in England The stockholders have no concern except to get their dividends regularly and in large sizes. The arrangements for through transportation are defective. Each little road maintains its own souging tariff. each insists upon its own pound of flesh: the resulting sharges are probably without parsl- Tel except in some remote and noun ,aincus regions"

NEW NOSE AND PROMOTION
Young Man in the Navy Gains Ad- vancement by Clever Sur
 gical Operation.

No matter how straight a man may shoot. no matter how expert he may be in seamanship, no matter what his knowledge of torpedoes and such things. there is no promotion for him in the United States navy unless we'll, unless he is good looking. says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Uncle Sam will not have petty officers. even. that are not handsome chaps-fellows with good faces under their caps.
 And SO 1t was that Frank Clancy. five years in the service and one of the cleverest lads on the torpedo boat destroyer Lawrence, could not get . step higher than the ranks. He passed brilliantly in everything. but to no purpose, for Frank had a nose that was anything but an ornament It was a hollow nose. with a big. up- turned end. which made him look as if a scoop had been at work between 1t and his eyes.
 The young sailor was grievously dis appointed and mourned the physical disability that deprived him of ad- vancement. Tn despair he sought a face specialist. directing him to Kill or cure" the offending member
 Tn 70 minutes Frank Clancy was ready to take his place with the finest looking on board Uncle Sam's ships. And nov, thanks to science aiding na- ture. he is an o.fcer on the Lawrence.

HEARING ON INJUNCTION.
Judge Cowell Thinks South Elm
 Street Furnishes Much Litigation.

VI
 There will be hearing Saturday to dissolve the injunction which Judge Cowell Issued few days ago preventing Jacob Eyman, 68 South Elm street, from building fence on the alleged dividing line between his property and that of his neighbor, Angelo Vito Pace. This morning in the district court Attorney Russell, counsel for Eyman, asked Judge Cow ell to set time for a hearing on a motion to dissolve and Il o'clock Saturday was fixed upon. Incident ally Judge Cowell delivered himself of some interesting comments.
 He said that the west side of South Elm, between Union and Scovill streets, has furnished more litigation than any other ten rods of land in the city. There has never yet been found two civil engineers who could agree on the surveys. A different measurement has always been obtain ed when the place is surveyed. The survey from Union street corner does not agree with the survey from the Scovill street side. South Elm street and Union street were never properly laid out anyway, he said, and once he came near being killed by party of litigants who brought fence pick cts to court. Neither side was sat isfied with his ruling and only he was good runner the community would have lost one of its most dis tinguished citizens. It is queer year when lawsuit does not come from someone living in the neighbor- hood. The land owners in that sec tion, he said, have been fighting over their boundary lines as long as he could recall and he supposed they will be fighting until the end of time.

THE MAKING OF A JUROR.
Puzzled German Gives the Judge g Chance to Get Even with
 Lawyers.

The judge had his patience sorely tried by lawyers who wished to talk. and by men who tried to evade jury service. Between hypothetical ques. tions and excuses it seemed as If they never would get to the actual trial of the case, relates the Green Bag. So when the puzzled little German who had been accepted by both sides jumped up the judge was exasperated.
 "Shudge!' cried the German.
 What is it?" demanded the judge.
 T tink I like to go home to my wife" said the German.
 You can't" retorted the judge. "Sit down"
 But shudge," persisted the Ger man. T don't tink make good shurer."
 You're the best in the box," said the judge. Sit down."

 "No," said the judge. "the bad box is the prisoners box
 But, shudge," persisted the little German, q don't speak good English
 You don't have to speak any at all, said the judge. "Sit down."
 The little German pointed at, the lawyers to make his last desperate plea."
 "Shudge," he said, "I can't make holdings of what these fellers say"
 It was the judges chance to gel even for many annoyances.
 Neither can anyone else," he said "Sit down.

RELIC OF DE SOTO FOUND.
old Spanish Weapon Left by Explor- CTS Soldiers of Mississippi
 Expedition.

A gentleman of Monroe county, Miss, while fishing in the Tombigbee about two miles south of Aberdeen, found in the edge of the river, partly imbedded in the soft clay, an old Span ish halberd. reports the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 There was a peculiar interest in this find, because there is little doubt that it is relic of the expedition of Her nando de Soto, then on his way, un- consciously, to the discovery of the mighty river so closely associated with his name There is no remnant of the wooden handle, the metal is heavily incrusted with rust, and the once keen edges have worn away, but the form of the weapon Is we'll preserved, and when struck against a hard substance the steel rings almost as true as when it left the armorer's hand, more than 300 years ago.
 It has the spear point on top, battle ax on one side and a curved knife on the other, reminding one of the ancient instructions to the halberdier in train ing, who was taught that If the ax stroke should fail to repair his mistake with a prompt thrust of the piked head"
 De Soto went into camp for the win ter in what is now Pontotoc county. and the remains of his intrenchments were in evidence a few years ago, and may possibly be still visible. In April. 154l, he continued his march to the northwest until he reached what is now De Soto county, where he turned due west and came out upon the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, which he here saw for the first time.

The rival lines had surveyed par
allel lines around the peninsula be-
tween the Willamette and the Co
lumbia, the Hill road to construct
a railroad between the two bridges
it is erecting at the two streams,
and the Hartman road to extend
it's present line. The surveys cross
at Meagleys Junction, and each
road sought the advantage of a
prior location of it's grade lines as
the state law provides that the first
established road fixes the grade.
The rivalry between the two sys-
tens is proving a good thing for
the farmers, who are being paid
fabulous prices for their land. In
many cases, land which a few
years ago was bought for a few
dollars an acre, now brings at the
rate of $1,000 an acre from the rail-
roads. One strip of land 25 feet
wide and five miles long cost the
Hill people $4,000.

PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. ga
titanic struggle between two giant
trans-continental railway systems
is in progress here and two of the
masters of the railroad world are
battling for supremacy and the pos
session of stragetic ground Jas.
J. Hill, master road builder of the
age, is forcing an entrance down
the north bank of the Columbia
into Portland, invading the terri
tory hitherto sacred to his enemy,
e. F. Hartman, who with all the
wealth and power at his command,
is resisting the invasion, hamper
ing and blocking the progress of
his rival. Armed bands of work
men patrol disputed rights of way
while a dozen courts have been Pc
titioned In as many counties, and
the strong arm of the law invoked
to stop destruction of property.
The first act of violence occur
red when Hartman forces of $50
men tore away the temporary trac
built by the Hill company at Maeg-
ly Junction, near Portland, smash
ed the trestle and with teams and
scrapers made a cut II feet deep,
laid ties and spiked rails on them
and planted a Hartman railroad
camp on the new structure, direct
ly over the crossing.
The Hartman people planned
the maneuver some hours ahead
and had everything in readiness
pending the decision on the con-
demnation suit brought by the 0.
r. & N. Co., for rights of way
across the Maegley track. The
jury, late in the afternoon, return
ed a verdict of $6,250 against the
railroad company for damages. The
money was paid at once and while
the night began the invasion, and
before the Hill lawyers could per-
feet their plea for injunction, had
accomplished its purpose, destroy
ed the Hill track and had laid a
crossing Four of five Hill men,
who were on guard, were overpow-

UNDER WHICH K|NG?...A TEST OF
GOVERNMENT IN THIS REPUBLIC

| lacks the power to compel these
pepole to obey the law. The exist
ence, the prevalence of such a feel
| ing as this ought to startle and
alarm every man to whom free gov
eminent is dear. If the people
have no more faith than this in
their laws and their administrative
officers, where are the foundations
of righteous rule?
The first thing to do is to silence
this kind of talk. Every man who
utters such sentiment ought to
be made ashamed of it. If the peo-
pie believe their government to be
imbecile, it will be imbecile; it will
be just what their belief makes it.
The only force that rules in a re-
public is public opinion. If public
opinion says that the nation is too
weak to cope with the trusts it is
too weak. If public opinion DEGREES
that the trusts shall obey the law
the trusts will obey the law. And
every man is responsible for the
creation of the right public opinion.
The first condition of the success
full prosecution of these great of
tenders is that the people all over
the land rouse themselves to be-
lieve In it and to demand it.
1t is also true that the existence
OF such a pessimistic view of gov
eminent ought to cause our courts
and our prosecuting officers and
our executives to do a good deal of
sober thinking. Why is it that so
many people have lost faith in the
possibility of enforcing the law
against these colossal offenders? 1t
is because there has been so much
of timidity and weakness in the at
tempts of the government to deal
with them.
The successful prosecution of
suits now pending against the great
commercial and financial law break.
ers would be worth more to this
nation, in strengthening the faith
of the people in their government,
than any victory ever won by its
army on land or sea.

MRS. BOWEN
WAS UNTRUE
SAYS BOWEN

Dewitt e. Bowen tells the court
that his wife, jamie NJ, has been
very cruel to him in taking up with
another man when he lawful lord
was i'll. The couple was married
in Oshkosh, Wis, in 1889, and have
two children. The wife commenced
her reception of attentions from the
unnamed man last October and
since then the Bowen home has
not been happy. The husband asks
the court for the custody of the
older two children, and requests it
to make such disposition of the
younger one as seems for the best
interests of all concerned.
