The Storm.
written for the Journal. }

/ saw a cloud from out the West.
Steal DER the heavens placid breast;
And as it came it larger grew,
aud yelled DER the sky of blue.
AS if it would some mischief do.
And from it's breasta great wind broke
tnat wrung the pine and swung the oak
IN waves it bent the standing grain,
And sweped the dust along the plain,
[ watched it as it onward came.
l saw the lightning's deadly glance
Across it's blackened yisage dance,
Hard on it's heels the tempest hurled
It's thunderbolts against the world,
Distinctions banner seemed unfurled.
The storm was on, it's mighty breath
Proclaimed destruction-left but death;
| watched it from my window sill,
And though how won'drous was the viii
That could with words such fury still
The clouds now darker, lower grew,
And rain obscured the view.
But slowly cleared the mists away,
rhe sun gave back its parting ray,
md bathed the earth in crimson day.
[ gazed with rapture on the scene,
The yellow light DER foliage green
Revealed no token of the BIAS,
The fury of the storm had passed,
And all was beautiful at last.
And as | wondering gazed thought,
This is the lesson it has taught,
The eve is brighter for the rain
And life is fairer after pain
We bear no storms of life in vain.

The Lumber Combine

The legislature has appointed
a committee for the purpose of
i%nuuiring into the charges being
made that a combination has
been formed for the purpose OF
controlling the prices of lumber
throughout the state and it is the
purpose of the members to get
after the combine with a sharp
stick. Just at this time a COM
oination to advance prices on
lumber seems to be in existence,
the people are being made to pay
exorbitant prices. The activity
in building everywhere has ere
lted a demand for all material
and the manufacturers of lumber
see their opportunity to get their
own figures for the output of
their mills and have gone out
after very long prices. That
they are getting them the man
Who buys a plank is ready to
prove. Conditions do not war
rant the high prices now obtained
for lumber and if the prices are
The result of a combination it is
the duty Of the legislature to see
that those who are building
themselves homes should not be
robbed by a heartless trust.

A Good Bill.

Representative Barber has in
troduced a bill which requires
of all telephone companies doing
business in the state to observe
the same regulations as to the
delivery of messages and places
them under the same penalty Tor
failure to do SD as a telegraph
companies. The telephone has
become a part of the business
of the country end the indivia-
uals and corpora tons which con-
troll them should no longer be
allowed to decla re the rules by
which the public shall be served.
The regulations ;tre altogether
too arbitrary and one-slded to
give satisfaction and it is time
that the hand of tt se law should
be laid on and the pc Dple be taken
into consideration. Apetltlon has
been circulated here and signed
very generally, ask ng the rat
road commission to take up the
matter of regulating certain bad
features of the rules which pre-
vail. An instance which brought
about this petition was that OF a
member of the board of super,
visors who was in the' office OF
the Chancery Clerk and called up
the Cumberland exch; lnge and
asked to be connected with his
res .dence. This request was re-
fus ed by the exchange and ne
wis notified that he must come
to the exchange to do his alklng.
The petition which goes 70 the
r abroad commission asks for an
order to allow any subscriber to
use any phone convenient in his
county without being required to
either 90 to his residence or office
or the exchange to talk. When
a subscriber has paid for the use
of a phone he should not be har-
rassed or inconvenienced by a set
of arbitrary rules which the COM
pany promulgate for their own
convenience and in their sole in
terest. The public puts up the
money for the service and some
consideration should be given
them. The bill before the legis-
lature should become a law and
give to the railroad commission
full authority to protect the pub
lie against the d%ictatorial policy
of such companies.

nection with the Chicago and Al

ing a.quick route from Chicago
to Mobile and Havana, made its
first trip Monday the 9th inst,
The time between the Windy City
and Mobile is cut down to TWEEN
ty-four hours, which is the short
est time made between the two
cities. Al Mobile the passengers
were transferred to the steamer,
Prince George, which makes the
trip to Havana. The firsntran

eral passenger agent, John III.

road and d number Of prominen
railroad men and newspaper rep
resentatives, besides about fifty
through passengers. The new
train is run with the view OF
building up a good service be-
tween the northwest and the
southern coast and Havana. Tbs
attractiveness of this section as
a winter resort is being more
and more appreciated by the
people of the northwest ana a
quick route to accommodate the
travel is demanded. The pas
senger department under Mr..
Beali, always alert to the needs
of the travelling public, have
installed the Havana limited to
meet the demand. which will be
one of the finest trains Of the
country, a rival OF the famous
Twentieth Century Limited be-
tween New York and Chicago.
