The America n NAVY Moves.

The movement of the American
navy to the Pacific ocean. has begun.
The armored cruisers Tennessee and
Washington have started on their
10, 000-mile voyage from Hampton
Roads to Magdalena Bay by way of
the Strait Of Magellan.
At Magdalena Bay they will be
joined by the two new armored
cruisers California and South Dakota,
which are already in the vicinity of
San Francisco.
The rest of the fleet, including i6
magnificent battleships, is under or
ders to start from Hampton Roads in
December. The navy yards are work
ing day and night to make the war
ships ready.
Together these warships will make
the greatest fleet, probably, that ever
assembled at one place under one flag ;
certainly the greatest that ever un-
dertook so long voyage.
1t is given out that the fleet is to
assemble at Magdalena Bay for prac-
tice in naval maneuvers. This bay is
Mexican property. being on the coast
of lower California.
December is good time for the
ships to start. They will steam i'm
mediately into warm climate, and
will soon be in the tropics. AS they
go far southwark, into the south
temperate zone, they will find summer
there for we must not forget that the
seasons in the southern hemisphere are
the reverse of those in. the northern.
When the feet enters the cold region
near the Strait of Magellan-a region
where icebergs sometimes abound-it
will find midsummer. The icebergs
will have vanished for the season.
Having passed into the Pacific and
begun the long voyage north, the fleet
will meet climate growing each day
somewhat warmer, and should be out
of the south temperate zone long be-
fore the winter begins there. The
sailors are likely to see no winter fol
the next twelve months. Current

McGregor's Statesman.

McGregor's Statesman.
Hon. Thomas Updegraff, a former
member of the Iowa Legislature from
Clayton county. and congressman
from the fourth district, has written
a letter favoring the governor and
opposing Hon. William B. Allison for
senator. There is nothing surprising
about this. He Greeleyized in 1872
when the Tribune editor was the
democratic candidate for president
and opposed General Grant. the
great commander of the union army
during the four years of the re-
bellion. General Greeley shouted
ION to Richmond in 1861, but
Richmond was not captured until
Grant marched his triumphant army
into the confederate capital four years
later. Greeley was in favor of the
impossible. Grant did things. Greeley
was a shouter for impracticable and
impossible things. Grant was a
silent man, but doer of things.
Updegraff favored the shouter for
president. Senator Allison is a silent
man. But he does things. Grant
won the greatest military distinction
in the worlds history. Allison has
now the greatest distinction in his
tory as United States senator.
Updegraff opposed Grant. He opposes
Allison.
The ti-Allison press publish and
feature the Updegraff letter now just
as the anti-republican paper publisheds
and featured his anti-Grant letters
and speeches in 1872.
The anti.Allison papers say the
senator is too old to be of any further
service to the state or country.
The McGregor statesman is as old
as the Dubuque statesman. The
McGregor man is feeble. The Dubuque
man is vigorous.
The anti Allison papers are welcome
to all the comfort they can get out of
the letter of the man who bolted the
republican ticket in 1872. The
Register supported Grant. 1t supports
Allison. The shouting was against
Grant. 1t is against Allison. Grant
won Allison will win. Marion

The last was the best part Of it, for
Bess had gone to the country at the

not seen her in weeks.
Up at the house there was a case OF
fishing rods, and already he could see
the brook, with its green clad banks,
and Bess, sitting on a fallen tree,
watching his luck. He raised his hat
ironically to the Office building and
turned down the street.

Three Chicago men have been here
the past week doing some prospecting
east of town. They claim they have
discovered bank of clay from which
good paint can be made, besides this
they also state they have found two
other valuable minerals from which
good money can be made The story
goes, they have returned to Chicago
to secure machinery with which to

Vardon bought paper and turned
away, when there came a tug at his
coat. and he looked down to see the
midget, thin faced and wistful.
.'Mox said would y come t. see i'm !:
He wants T. say goodby before you
went t. tn country. He's in the 'mer-
gency."
Vardon bestowed a dime upon the
messenger and hurried on. There
would be time to stop at the Emer-
gency hospital on the way uptown. For
more than a year "Limpy Mox" had
been on that corner, rain OF shine, to
hand out the evening paper and a
greeting. A queer friendship had
grown up between the two. 1t would
only take a few minutes. Vardon
knew one of the internes at the hospi-
tai and could get In even though it
were past the visiting hour.

Il guess you can do that for him,
laughed Vardon. Hes better off here

"Bless my soul, we can't keep him!'

we kept our patients here until they

Vernon Peterson chauffeur for Dun
can McYichie of 7e2 East Brigham street.
was held up and robbed by highwayman
in a dark spot on North Temple street.
between Fifth and Sixth West, about II
o'clock last night
Early in the evening Peterson went out
to visit his father, at 20S North Eighth
West street Leaving his fathers house
shortly after 10 o'clock, Peterson started
down town. AS there was no street car
in sight, he started to walk, taking the
north side of the street.
He was whistling eheerfully. with no
thought OF danger. when a man suddenly
stepped from behind tree, near the CEN
ter of the block Holding a revolver lew
eled at Peterson's head. the robber COM
manded:
Didn't Want to Die.
Throw UP your hands If you don't want
to die"
There was nothing for Peterson to do but
obey. The highwayman then cautiously
advanced still holding the weapon menac-
ingly. He first emptied Peterson's pockets,
taking s24 in money-two ten-dolar bills,
a dollar bill and three dollars in silver.
Then he relieved Peterson of his watch
and concluded by taking a small diamond
pin from the chauffeur's scarf.
When he had carefully assured himself
that there was no more plumber to be
had, he told Peterson to move on and not
TO look behind.
BY that time Peterson had gathered his
wits together and was figuring on how
he could speedily get to pelice headquar-
tiers and set the sleaths of Justice on the
trail of the bandit.
Look here said the chauffeur.
you've taken away every cent 1 had
How am i going to get down town.
"Walking's good" returned the high
wayman.
but you won't miss nickel" persisted
the chauffeur.
A Generous Highwayman.
The bandit thought a moment. Then
he drew a five-cent piece from his
pocket.
Here" he said. That viii get you
Peterson took the nickel with profuse
thanks. Hailing the next car. he made
quick time TO police headquarters and re-
ported the robbery.
Policemen were at once sent to North
Temple street to search for the bold rob-
Der.
Peterson said that at the point at which
the hold-up occurred 1t was too dark for
him to see the robbers face. The man
wore a broad brimmed felt hat, he said.
This was pulled down over the mans fore
head. making it impossible to distinguish
his features in the darkness. Peterson
could not tell whether the man wore a
mask. The man, he said, seemed to be
dirty and shabby. but he was not able
TO tell the color Of his clothing.
ChInamsn Is Held Up.
At 1926 o'clock this morning a robber
boldly entered the Idaho cafe, at Ga West
Temple street. George Lee, the Chinese
proprietor hearing the cash register ring,
ran out from the kitchen and found the
thief standing ar the open cash register.
