THE COUNTRY OF. OPPORTUNITY

THE COUNTRY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Young men who grow cynical, who
think that oppression is rampant and
opportunity slight, should read the
following editorial from the Mime
apolis Journal:
LESS than a quarter of century
ago the 500 Line began its career.
It started from Minneapolis and ran
= few miles east and a few miles
vest. Its projectors were Minneap-
ellis men, who believed that the short
est distance between two points. was
. straight line and that the products
of the northwest, coming through the
Minneapolis gateway, ought to find
other and more direct means of &C
cess to the seaboard than by way of
Chicago or Duluth. The eastern arm
Of the new system was soon stretch
ed out across the stragetic neck of
land where the three great lakes
Superior, Michigan and Huron-come
together. The wetern arm, in the
course of time, reached out to the
Pacific coast. The tremendous SER
vice rendered to Minneapolis and the
northwest by the 500 as rate regu-
htor, and a protector against unfair
treatment by the Chicago lines, react
"a favorably upon its own fortunes.
and the system has grown and de-
veloped marvelously within a COM
sarative1y small space Of time.
'aThe absorption, Of the Wisconsin
Central, now IN process Of accomp-
hshment, puts the finishing touches
On .a:great and useful railroad system.
It puts the 500 on terms of equality
with its competitors, and enables it
to play the important role for which
1t is destined in the northwest.
1T is altogether fitting that, at this
precise historic moment in the de-
vel0pment of the 500 system, there
should succeed to its titular headship
the man who has for a number OF
years been it's actual chief, Edmund
Pennington. The election of Mr.. Pen.
nington to the presidency of the 500
Is signal illustration of that democ-
Iscy of birth and aristocracy of mer-
It, which are the boast of America
Mr. Pennington has risen by sheer
force of ability and energy from a
humple post as section man to the
presidency of one of the great railroad
systems Of America. In what other
country in all the world would that
be possible? In the early days young
Pennington operated snowplow out
Of Sioux Falls. He did the work well
and he showed capacity for better
things. Step by step he advanced in
the railroad world until he is now
entrusted with the highest place in
the gift of the company he has serv.
ed SO we'll.
1T is an example on which the
young men Of today may well pom.

JAS. KINNEY KILLED
Shot by Malone on Charge of Chick
en- Stealing-M Mystery Not Cleared
Up-Slayer Held in ST., 500 Bond
for Action of Grand Jury.

The whole town was startled Sat
urday to learn OF the shooting of Mr..
James Kinney by Mr.. Il. A. Malone,
and was even more excited by the
subsequent death OF Mr.. Kinney on
Sunday. The funeral Sunday after
noon testified to the wide respect
In which the deceased was held, and
to the number of his friends.
The verdict of the jury empaneled
Sunday by Magistrate Wilson, repre-
senting the Coroner, was that deceas-
ed came to his death from gun shot
wounds inflicted by t. A. Malone.
There were three of these wounds,
one In the arm, not dangerous, and
one each in the kidney and lung,
which caused his death. All bullets
had entered from the back, showing
that he was shot from behind.
Early Saturday Malone went first to
Squire Wilson and then to Judge Gay,
saying that he had shot a man who
was stealing his chickens, but that
he did not know who was wounded.
Later it was found that Mr.. Kinney
was the injured one, and when he
was taken to the hospital Malone was
put under arrest. On Mr.. Kinney's
death Sunday Malone was taken 10
Richmond and lodged in jail. The
examining trial was held Tuesday.
After the trial Malone was held in

filled. The evidence at the trial

GOOD THINGS THIS WEEK

our readers to the number of good
things we are offering them this week
The Washington letter is unusually
good, the portion of Prof. Dinsmore's
book is fine, and the farming article
is timely and worth consideration.
We are sorry not to have room this
week for articles now ready on sheep
scab and on the causes and preven-
ton Of fires, but they will come soon
that on sheep scab, at least, next
week.
Besides these useful articles are
a full report of the Berea fair, and
a digest Of the reply made in Audi
tor James paper to the charges of
extravaganza made against the present
State Administration-an article which
every Republican wants to read to
fortify himself against these false
charges, and which every honest
Democrat will also want to read. Next
weeks paper will have almost as many
splendid features, and you want to
watch for them. The sheep scab arti-
Gle will be the best, but all the usual

by the big storm of last week, and
considerable damage was done.
The fourth serious fire in a few
days visited Richmond Monday night,
when Azbill's' livery was burned, to-
eether with Humans grocery store
and the fire department building. Al

was done. The city fire department

nearby counties almost everybody
is for Powers, but advices from other
parts of the Eleventh say that senti-
ment for him is not so strong, and
that the race may be a close one. 1t

serious to be cured by court or ad-
