Don't Stop at the Station Despair
We must trust the conductor, moat surely;

Have made thli lame journey securely
And como to that ultimate more.
Ar.d we, we will retch It In season;
And ah. what a welcome Is there I
Eefloet then, how out ol all reason
To stop at the itaOon Despair, .
Ay. midnight and many a potion
Of little black water have we,
Ai we Journey from ocean to ocean
From tea unto ultimate sea
To that deep sea of seaa, and all silence
01 passion, concern and of care
Thai vast scaot Edtn-tet island !
Don't stop at the station Depair!
Go forward, whatever may follow,
Go forward, friend-led, or alene;
Ah me, to leap oft In some hollow
Or fen. In the night and unknown
Leap off like a thief; try to hide you
Frcm aogels, all waiting; you tHerel
Go forward I whatever betide you
Don't slop at that station Despair!

WMSHIPSSAILING AWAY
Three of Our Vessels Bonnd for South
Atlantic Waters.
MAY MEET AT VALPARAISO
rnder Order for Long Cruises, but on
ltor.Us Which Will Not Take Them
Out or Beach or Cable Com
anuuteatiou. New Yoek, Nov. 8. Tha corvette
Kearsage, under command of Captain
Horace Elmer, left her anchorage in the
East river for the West Indies. She is
bouud first for St. Thomas. Just where
she will sail then depends upon circum
stances. She is attached to the South
Atlantic squadron. Admiral Gherardi's
flagship, the Philadelphia, also 6tarted
for St. Thomas. The Philadelphia, it is
expected, will reach there as soon as the
Kearsage, and Captain Elmer will then
report to Admiral Gherardi. If the
Philadelphia be too late, Captain Elmer
will rejiort by eiible to the navy depart
ment. ' The Bitty ought to reach St.
Thomas next Sunday. Developments in
the Chili quarrel may lead to one or both
the vessels being ordered to Valparaiso.
If this be not necessary and if uo other
complications arise it is quite likely that
the Kearsage will follow the sailing
orders issued some weeks ago. These
are to cruise among the West Indies and
call at points touched by Columbus.
A naval officer, whose rank entitles
him to the confidence of Commandant
Ei-ben of the navy yard, said: "These
warships are not being ordered to Cliili
simply to scare somebody. It cost more
than $15,000 to fit out a ship for a voy
age of 14,000 miles, and they are not be
ing sent away merely to keep them mov
ing. Diplomacy forbids that a govern
ment should show its hand too strongly.
We Jiave seen the Petrel sailing from
cue navy yard ostensibly from China,
but there is cable communication to St.
Thomas, and to Gibraltar, at both of
which places she will touch. The Kear
sarge sailed for the West Indies, where
she also can be reached by cable, and or
dered to continue on to Valparaiso. The
Philadelphia sailed for St, Thomas.
Keep your eye on the navy department's
orders to these vessels within the next
two weeks, and see if some of them are
not ordered to follow the Yorktown and
Boston to Valparaiso, to say nothing of
the Chicago, Atlanta, Concord, Mainto
noiuali. and Bennington, still at the
Brooklyn yard. After election is over,
we may hear some interesting Chilian
news from Washington."
Admiral Brown's Orders.
, Washington, Nov. 3. Secretary Tracy
has niadeipublic,,the instructions sent
last spring to Admiral Brown, command
in? the Pacific squadron at the beginning
of, the Chilian disturbance. "These in
structions," Secretary Tracy said, "have
been rigorously adhered to throughout.
In no single instance have they been de
parted from. They prove conclusively
that the charges of partiality made by
the English newspapers are untruths,
and that they have been invented in
order to prejudice the Chilians against
the United States for commercial pur
poses." Montt Offered the Presidency.
London, Nov. 3. A dispatch to The
Times from Valparaiso says the presi
dency has been offered to Jorge Montt,
and that congress will re-open Nov, 18.
All political prisoners have been re
leased. The excitement is fast dying out
r.nd it is lie! ieved that the government
is new willing to settle all claims made
by the foreigners who have been in
jured. What Secretary Tracy Snys,
Washington, Nov. 3. General Tracy
said: "There is nothing new or alarming
in the Chilian business. Everything
will, I think, be satisfactorily settled.
This is the general impression in this
city. Our government, however, will
be as conciliatory as possible in conduct
ing the negotiations with the South
American republic."
Egan Is All Right.
Washington, Nov. 3. It is authorl-
tjvcly stated that no complaint has been
received by the state authorities from the
Chilian government of the conduct of
Kgnn. and his recall has not been con
sidsml by the president or the secretary
if state.
Reversed the Decision.
Chicago, Nov. 3. On April last Spoon
si' Howell, a big lumber merchant of
this city, with branches at Omaha and
elsewhere, turned over his property to
the First National bank of this city to
which he was indebted to the amount
if $200,000. Later the North Wis
consin Lumber company brought
suit for $."0.!64, claiming that the
transaction withthe First National bank
was collusive and to the detriment of
outside creditors. Judge Brown, before
whom the case was tried, decided in
favor of the Wisconsin company. The
case was taken to the appellate court,
which reversed that decision. The de
cision is a set-back for creditors of the
First National bank.
Business Blocks Burned.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 3. Fire destroyed
the buildings on Cotton avenue occupied
by Carpet & Co., boots and shoes; Dady
& Co., dry goods, and T. W. White,

Farmers of the Northwest
liar tha i
Craln in Stack.
St. Pacl, Minn., Nov. 3. The Great
Northern railway company issued a
fpeciul bulletin announcing that there
was no further need for threshing outfits
in northern Minnesota and North Da
kota. Farmers with large crops in shock
have taken advantage of the favorablo
weather to stack tho grain. It Is now
comparatively safe and can be threshed
any time during the winter. A. C Lor
ing, general manager of one of the big
Minnesota mills, said: "Of the 500 cars
of wheat rocived in Minneapolis daily
50 per cent contained damaged wheat
from North Dakota. There has been
just about enough sound wheat received
in iuinneanous to supply me
mills and
the rejected wheat has made tip almost
the entire built or tne gram snippea via
Duluth and other points to the eastern
market. There has been a strong demand
for this wheat from the east.

ELECTION NEWS.
The Australian Ballot Proving Satlsfac
. tory, but a little Difficulty Re
ported at Some riaces.
Des Moines, Nov. 3. Interest in the
state election is at a white heat. The
registration in some precincts in this
citv has been so lartre that it is almost
impossible to poll the vote before closing
at i o ciock. uemocrats taut or gerang
out a writ of injunction to restrain the
election board from closing the polls
earlier than the latest hour named in the
statue, which is 9 o'clock. Advices
from leading cities show the existence of
the same feeling that is here. Demo
cratic leaders claim they hold the high
water mark of two years ago in the
river counties and they will make ma
terial gains in the interior. Members
of the Republican central committee are
equally sanguine and say there is no
doubt of Wheeler's election. They say
the Republicans will gain in tho strong
anti-prohibition counties.

against the police for not protecting

At Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Nov. 3. The weather was
cold and cloudy. It was apparent that
the heaviest vote ever cast in the conn-,
try would have been recorded if the old
Bystem of ballot was in vogue. Many
working men who were at the polls could
not vote without loosing half a day and
dropped out. There is intense interest in
the election, but the votes fall short
nianv hundred from the registration list
in this county owing to the process of
balloting.
At Omaha.
Omaha, Nov. 3. The state, county
and city elections aro passing off quietly,
although trouble may occur liecause of
the religious feeling. The anti-Catholics
are allied with the Republicans. The
Democrats endorsed Edgerton, Independ
ent candidate, for supreme judge, and

A IIiiKhand's Revenge
Peekpkill, N. Y., Nov. 3. Charles
Blisch, proprietor of the Eagle hotel, in
this city was shot and almost instantly
killed by Betts of Brooklyn. Betts gave
himselt up.
It appears that Blischknew
Betts in Brooklyn. As the story goes
more than a year ago Betts transferred
$100,000 to his wife. He says that Blisch
alienated his wife's affections and she
left him taking with her his children.
It is surmised that part of the $100,000
which Betts transferred to his wife was
given to Blisch and used in purchasing
the Eagle hotel. Blisch bought the ho
tel alKut ten months ago.

Boone, la., Nov. 3. At a political
meeting in Grant, one of the outlying
townships of Boone county, about twenty
miles from this city, vesterday, the
Swedish Democrats were holding a polit
ical meeting, which was disturbed by a
lot of roughs who came for that purpose.

I General Passenger Agent Pond, of tho

Objection is made by the Omaha line,
which holds that the Wisconsin Central

referred the matter to the Northwestern
committee for settlement.
Did Not Discriminate.
Chicago, Nov. 3. The interstate com
merce commission has just promulgated
an important opinion in the case of
Daniel Buchanan againt the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, the latter le
ing charged with making excessive rates
on wheat and barley. Tiie complainant
claimed that in the month of June, 1883,
he came from Wisconsin and looked over
the situation in the vicinity of the
place where he ultimately located with
a view to investing in farm lands,
and having ascertained that the freight
rate on grain from Ritzville to Duluth
and St. Paul was 40 cents per 100 pounds,
and that as this rate was established and
maintained in the complete absence of
competition, and in the presence of little
, business, he bases his calculations on the
. . O i t. i i'i
the same time the rSia on wheat had
been advanced to 45 cents; that at the
time of bringing the complaint the rato
on barley was 50 cents ana on wheat 50
cents; that these advanced rates were un
just, unequal, unreasonable, and oppres
sive, and absorbed all the profits he ex
pected to derive from investing in the
land.
The commission decides that the de
fendant was justified in changing its
rates and that it is a just and reasonable
charge,
We Are a Riding People
New York, Nov. 8. The Street Rail
way News of this city, in its issue of this
week will call the attention to the re
markable increase in urban rapid transit
facilities as shown by the annual ad
dress of President Watson at the recent
convention at Pittsburg of the Ameri
can Street Railway association. These
figurs show that in 1889 only 470 cities
in the United States possessed rapid
transit facilities. Now there is not a
city with a population of 10,000 or over
without its street railroad.
Nunspiipers' Rights.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 3. In the
case of Elizabeth K. Sherwood vs. the
; Chicago and West Michigan railroad
j company a decision has been handed
down by the supreme court of Michigan.
The newspapers published the tact that
a verdict for $13,000 had lw?en given in
tho first trial of the case while the second
trial was in progress, and the counsel
for the defense moved to have the pub
lishers committed for contempt. Tiie
court denied the motion and the second
I triil1 t'nled ul a verdict for the plaintiff
for $15,000. The supreme court in its
decision affirming the verdict of tho
lower court holds that the newspapers
have a right to publish verdicts and
judgments rendered in courts, and de
clares that no matter how prejudicial it
' may be to publish them at the time of trial
no violation or tno law is committed in
ao doing. The decision further states
that that the reading of such informa
tion by jurors does not render them incompetent.-

Bonds Declared Worthless.
St. Louis, Nov. 3. Judgo Thayer
handed down an important decision in
the case of the Farmers' Loan and Trust
Company of New York vs. the Forest
Park and Central Railroad company and
the St. Louis, Colorado and Kansas City
railroad, in which he declares an issue ef
$700,000 worth of bonds, $200,000 of
which were hold by the plaintiff, to be
void. The Forest Park and Central
railroad and the St. Louis and Kansas
City railway are the same, the Forest
Park road having been purchased by the
company, which is now a part of the At
chison, Topeka and Santa Fe system.
In 1882 the directors of the Forest Park
and Central railway decided to increase
their capital stock to $1,000,000, and to
issue bonds to the amount of $700,000.
The bonds were issued and $200,000
worth of them sold. Judge Thayer, in
his opinion, states that the law had not
been complied with in vital respects.
The court dismissed the bill asking for a
foreclosure of the mortgage.

resources at his command and was de
termined to break up the lawlessness and
bring the ringleaders to justice. He
had done all in his power by personal
influence before the legislature to se
cure relief for the miners, but while
he sympathized with them, he could not
uphold lawlessness. He will issue an
additional proclamation, offering a re
ward for the capture of the leaders of
the new mob.
Wants the Law Changed.
Washington, Nov. 3. Second Auditor
Patterson, in his annual report to the
secretary of the treasury, suggests that
: section 277 of the revised statues be so
modified as to authorize the second
auditor to disallow claims for ar
, rears to pay a bounty in cases where the

ords of his office show that tho soldier or
