Neb,, Nov. 11 (Special.) The result of an Interview hold at Sioux City recently between L, B. Allen, super intendent of tho Wllmar and Sioux Falls division of the Oreat Northern railway, nnd T. A. Harris, vice president of the Atkinson & Niobrara Jllvcr railway, In the course of which tho latter gentleman presented the possibilities of an extension of the Oreat Northern Short Lino from O'Neill, the ter rains, to Atkinson, Is being anxiously awaitod nt this place. The fact that Mr. Allen expressed himself as being highly pleased with the facts nnd figures furnished by Mr. Harris, whom he assured the Infor mation would bo taken up with te proper officials, Is encouraging news. In case tho Great Northern people deem tho twenty mllo extension of their road from O'Neill here nn advlrablo action, this road would, It Is rumored, get the entire eastern bus- I Iness nf the Atkinson & Nlohrara niver railway, nnd tho present Indications point toward the connection of these two roads ut this slaco. Should this link be built, Atkinson would have a competing line that would not only reduce Its freight bill, but the heavy ex pense of tho entire, commercial field In Boyd nnd Gregory (South Dakota) counties as well. Besides, It would actualize a project that has long been In agitation. Work on the Atkinson & Niobrara River railroad, thn new line being constructed from this place through thirty-five miles of as fertile an agricultural and as splendid a stock country an exists anywhere, to Butte, thn terminus and county seat of Boyd county. Is rapidly progressing. Quar ters have been erected for tho laborers and tholr teams out of this place about twenty flvo miles, which distance has already been gradod. The company's surveyor has mad his estimate of tho amount of ties neces sary and the sarao havo been contracted for nnd will arrive In a few days. It la now an established certainty that this road will ho hullt by tho first of the year. ZWEIBEL'S THIRD MUTILATION 'I'nnllllnn Farmer Sent In Onuihn Hon. pltal Trlth Arm Torn Into fthreil.

The fifth annual session of tho Southern Cotton Spinners' association convened here today. Dr. J. P. McAdon, president of the association, In his annual address recommended a declaration by the spinners In favor of a merchant mu rine upon a basis that will give all Amer ican citizens an equal chance, prevent favor itism and recognlxo the producing classes In tho reduction of freight rates. He also favored the building nnd construction as soon as possible of tho Isthmian cnnal. On reciprocity Dr. McAdcn snld. "The Im mense balnnco of trade In our favor creates the necessity of our (lndltig a market for our surplus products. We should do nil that wo ran to ndvance both tho letter and the spirit of reciprocity. Wo especially do slro closer commercial relations with South America nnd tho Orient." At a "smoker" in tho Kimball house to night Hon. Hoko Smith of Atlanta cpoke on "Development of Our Home Talent" ami United States Senator John L. McLaurln on "Extension of Our Foreign Trade." MrlTe Hit It Day. Senator McLaurln said; "We nro at tho dawning of a new day of progress In tho history of the world w'hen all peoples will hnvc u moro perfect under standing of tho brotherhood of man and tho Indcpendenco of nations. For 2,000 yenrn tho pollclcM of tho world havo been con ducted upon tho Inhuman Idea of shedding blood. TIiIh has served 11 useful purpose In tho civilization of mankind, awful as It Is to contemplntc. but that purpose has now been accomplished "Until recently commerce was not deemed a proper subject for governmental consid eration. Theio Is no direct department of commcrco tn any government excopt that of Ocrmany. The moving considerations prompting tho settlement of tbo Chinese troublo wero commercial. The time will conic when the host minds of every country will he called upon to Hdjust tho compli cated question of foreign trade, and consular officers at tho loading ports of commerce will equal In Importance tho diplomatic ambassadors." Nation Weuk on Hea. In connection with the south's foreign trade Senator Mclxiurhi advocated nn American marine. "Our weakness upon tho sea Is the one great danger that confronts tho nntlon," said tho senator. "If ships could bo built In tho United States as cheaply and op erated under' our flag as cheaply as they aro under other Hags, It would bo unneces sary for our government to do more than to offset tho subsidies, bounties, naval re serve, retnlncrs nnd other methods by which forolgn governments attract capital into merchant ships built and manuged by their own people. "Wo must not Imagine that American capital Is dependent on national legisla tion In order to mako American ship-owning pny. Wo havo ample ovldcnco of large American Investments In forclgn-hullt ships, manned and .opcrntcd by fqrclgncru, In our foreign trade. However much our peoplo mny havo Invested In foreign ships, they aro unavailable under International law when nt war an naval auxiliaries. "Another thing wo should remember: Thcso very ships and tho men employed on board them may bo turned against tho United Stntcs In tho event of our becoming Involved In wnr with tho nation whoso flag thoy fly. Tho object of extending govern ment aid to tho upbuilding of our merchant mnrlno Is to securo ndequntn protection for thn nntlon upon tho sea and tho mcro fact that tho InvoHtmcnt has been made attrac tive to American capltnl Is an Incident of tho transaction. I'hiirI for American. "Wo do not want to see tho Isthmian canal becomo merely a forolgn highway of commorre. Wo do not want our millions expended merely to become a bounty to foreign shipping. It Hhould be nn Amer ican highway and we should so develop our mcrchnnt marine that with the opening of this great canal our own flag shall pre dominate at the masthead of a majority of tho ships that It accommodates. "The south will be tho Immediate bene ficiary of that waterway when It Is con structed." In conclusion Senntor McLaurln said: "What, wo noed In this country today Is a nonsectlonal patriotism and statesmanship moro devoted to tho building up of our country than the achievement of party suc cess. Ocneral, national or business ques tions Involving tho glory of our republic and tho prosperity of our peoplo should not be dwarfed Into raero party questions."

(Special,) Postmaster Bautz has completed and tent Into the department n new plat of the sec tion of country covered by tbe mall routes, and asks for a number of changes, which FAINTING. I It Only Fashionable Feminine Accomplishment I In the novel of a generation or so back, fainting seems to be generally re carded as an accomplishment of a fash ionable Ttoman. Whenever there was an awkward situation to be covered the woman discreetly and decorously fainted. It 1 also insinuated that place as well s time had to be considered In the fitting exercise of this accomplishment. There mutt be a convenient couch to lie on and till more there must be a pair of manly arms to support the limp burden as ft swayed and slipped lo the ground. Women did not as a rule exhibit this accomplishment for the benefit of their own sex, but only when some observant male was at baud to see and succor. The heroines of the modern novelist are not given to fainting. The " accom plishtnent" seems to hnve gone out with the working of sample!. Weakness wa once a woman's weapon. Now she despises weakness, and all its symptoms. It may be taken for granted therefore that now-a-days if a woman faints it is Ixrcause of genuine weakness that he cannot conceal. Instead of wanting male observation she avoids it and decplM herself for her own frailty. WHV WOMEN TAINT. In general women who faint are more liable to do so nt some special periods than at others, and the liability to faint is generally increased with the recurrences of the periodic womanly function. Front this fact nlone it might be fairly argued that there is a close relation between local womanly weakness and the physical weakness which causes women to faint. Womanly ailments surely undermine the general health. Irregularity, suppres sion, profusion, unhealthy drains, inflam mation, ulceration, and female weakness, are the diseases which drain the vitality nnd weaken the general health of women and render them liable among other things to "fainting spells." Cure the local womanly diseases and there is at once a gain in the general health. It gives me great pleasure," writes Miss Ella Sapp, of Jamestown, Guilfotd Co., N.
