I'rorn the Indianapolis News : "I
ltayen't much hair ou my head , " said
Superintendent Mansfield , of the In-
F dlauapclis and Vincennes , "but what
lithe I have was up in the air like porcupine -
cupine quills this afternoon. Several
of us were coming down the Union
tracks as No. 20 , the fast train on the
Intianapolis division , wan pulling out.
'At Delaware street three tramps
. . '
-r' were standing. Dy the time the train
reached that point it was going at a
lively rate. Each of the tramps selected -
lected a coach , and as the train whirled
by caught the iron rod that extends under -
der the side of the car and swung beneath -
neath the train in front of the trucks.
Lille acrobats they turned over the rod
.and rested their feet oil the brakebeam ,
and as the train rolled' away settled
.r down for a ride. A single mistake , a
slip of the hand or the failure to place
their feet on the brakebeam meant for
them a horrible death. I was so fright-
ener at their recklessness that I fairly
lost my breath. Experienced railroad
man that I am , I would not have attempted -
tempted such a feat for $1,000,000. "
"That was a common trick , " said
. , . - Frank Lewis , formerly with the Union
j Pacific Railroad Company. "I have had
a rood deal of experience with tramps ,
and there are few of them but risk their
lives daily on the cars. The old-time
tramps used to walk over the country.
Up-to-date tramps ride. I have taken
them out from beneath the pilot of the
engine. I have pulled them from the
brakebeam of passenger care , and a fa-
vorite.hiding place for them is at the top
of the vestibule. On top of the cars is
a pleasant place during the summer ,
but in the winter they try to make
themselves as comfortable as possible.
It is seldom that you hear of a tramp
being killed by the cars unless in a
wreck. To become an expert car-jump-
- + , or is one of the first requisites of a
' tramp of the first class. "
A Mhlni irt Journey :
I never saw the domesticity and maternal -
ternal love of the feline species better
proved than in the case of an old tortoise -
toise shell cat , owned by my Aunt Sal-
lie. This old cat and her three kittens
were given to a grandson. He took
them home one night in a big basket-
a distance of three miles by road , or a
mile and a quarter through the "West
Woods. "
Early next morning my aunt stood
in the door looking curiously across the
road tcwards the woods.
"Well , I never ! " she suddenly exclaimed -
claimed ; "there's Pinkie coining home. "
Through the woods covered with
dense underbrush , over ploughed fields
and marsh land , and at night , poor old
Pinkie had traveled home , bringing her
little family. We watched her toiling
wearily along the last few yards of her
journey. Each time she would pick
tip the last kitten of the line , carry it
ahead of the first one a few feet , and
lay it carefully down in a safe spot ;
then go back for the last one again.
Now and then she would stop and wash
tha kittens' laces with motherly solici-
tudc. It is needless to say that Pinkie
and her babies were warmly received
at the old homestead , and were never
sent off again.
One of those same kittens that made
the midnight journey at the tender age
of three weeks sits on my desk beside
me , trying to manipulate my pen now
and then , perhaps to urge it to greater
praise of her worthy mother.-Our Ani-
mol Friends.
God Will Not Have a Rival.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
iyith all thy heart. ( Luke 10:27. )
There is no harder place than that
occapied by the man who is trying to
be a Christian in his own way. Trying
L to serve God without giving up his
sins. Joining the church , and holding
on to worldliness and impiety. Shaking -
ing hands with the preacher without
saying geodby to sin and Satan. Intending -
tending to keep such of the commandments -
ments as he can without trouble or
sacrifice , but with no intention of keeping -
ing those that interfere with his pleas =
ure or profit. God cannot put up with
a divided heart. He gives all , and he
must have all. His kingdom could not
be an eternal kingdom on any other
basis. . He has declared himself a jealous -
ous God , and will not dwell in any heart
+ " r
that opens to receive a rival. No honorable -
orable man would be willing to marry
a wife whose heart he knew was not all
his own , and surely what a sinful man
could not permit God will not endure.
He will never find fault with our conduct -
duct , so long as it is the best we can
do , but'In our love he will have no rival.
There Is no such thing as being a true
follower of Christ without unconditional -
al loyalty to him. There must be a
glad wfllingness to take a stand against
all that is known to be questionable or
sinful , net only for a day , but forever.
The Small Boy's Troublo.
He comes from play with brown anu
grimy hands ;
A wistful whistle loiters on his lips ;
Dark semi-circles shade his finger
tips ;
From hits small tongue dart divers
quick commands.
The fond maternal slave , in deep distress -
tress ,
Conducts the youngiing savage to the
bath ,
Where he expends his vain , impotent
wrath ,
His fierce contempt for lather to ex-
press.
Her cloth and brush and file the mother
plies ,
With firm Intent resisting all his
pleas ,
Until the rebel boy with sob agrees
To cease his sharp and melancholy
cries.
* * * * * * *
The boy we knew was most like other
boys ,
Who lose one-half youth's freely-
given dower
Day dreaming of that distant , happy
hour
When they may share in life's maturer
joys.
Ambition stirred his fancy , and the sea
With many pleasing voices called his
name.
Where plundered ships went down
'mid foam and flame ,
He saw himself a pirate bold and free.
But naught made him for age more
keenly hope-
Or so it doth appear back through the
years-
Than those dark hours his eyes would
fill with tears ,
While his mother filled his sun-burned
ears with soap.

how to Know the Truth.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet , and
a light unto my path. ( Psalm 119:105. : )
The man who can get nothing out of
the Bible has never honestly tried to.
The probabilities are that he never
made a careful study of a single chapter
of it. He has picked it up now and
then perhaps , and read a few verses at
random , but he has never earnestly
tried to find out what is in it. The
truth is that he doesn't want to understand -
stand it , or he would find a hey to unlock -
lock it. Dien do not understand books
on mathematics , or music , or medicine ,
or astronomy , or anything else that
deals with truth , until they get in
earnest about it , and set about it in the
right way. No man will have any trouble -
ble about understanding as much of
the Bible as he needs to know , when he
becomes willing to live as it tells him
to. It will become a lamp to guide the
feet of every man who will walk in its
light , but to those who are determined
to follow their own course it will be
darkness. This fact was symbolized in
the pillar of cliud which led the Israel-
ites. It gave them light , but to their
enemies it was darkness. When you find
a man who is keeping out of the church
on the plea that he can't understand the
Bible , you may know that it is because
he is holding on to things that the
scriptures condemn. Whoever will
bring his life into line with the Bible
will soon find out that it is God's book.
"Every one that doeth evil hateth the
light. "
"Jack the Giant K1Uer.
Same time ago I read a little anecdote
of Longfellow which illustrated his
love for children. It seems that one
little fellow in particular was fond of
spending his time in the great poet's
library. One day , after a long and
i atient perusal of the titles ( to him
great cumbersome works ) that lined
the shelves , the little chap walked up
to Longfellow , an(1 asked in a grieved
sort of way :
"Ilaven't you got a Jack the Giant
hiller ? "
Longfellow regretted to say that in
all his immense library he did not have
a copy.
The little chap looked at him in a
pitying way , and silently left the room.
The next morning he walked in with
a couple of pennies tightly clasped in
his chubby fist , and laving them down
told the poet that he could now buy a
Jack the Giant Killer of his own.- .

Such a wee mischievous lassie- !
It tries one's patience quite
To watch the child. She cannot do
A single thing just right.
'Tis "Kitty , don't say that , dear ! "
"Oh , Kitty , don't do so ! "
These are the words that greet her ,
Wherever she may go.
When , just at dusk , one evening ,
She climbed upon my knee ,
In playful mood I asked her name ,
"Why , Kitty , 'course , " said she.
"Yes , Kitty-but the rest , dear ? "
She hung her curly head-
The rogue-for ! just a moment ;
Then-"Kitty Don't ! " she said.

the same position held under the
Democrats , except Senator Kyle , who
is promoted from the chairmanship of
the committee on education and labor
to that of the University of the United
States. The committee will recommend -
mend the enlargement of all the
larger committees.
SALISBURY'S REPLY.
ilio Monroe Doctrino's Applicability Do-
nied-What Great Britain has Done.
Lord Salisbury , the British premier ,
answers Secretary Olney in two notes ,
both dated July 26.
The first is devoted entirely to a reply -
ply to that portion of the note relating
to the Monroe doctrine , which he says
has never before been made the subject -
ject of a written communication by
the Umted States to another government -
ment , although it has largely influenced -
fluenced American foreign relations.
Lord Salisbury expressly declines to
be understood as accepting the Monroe -
roe doctrine.
Lord Salisbury's second note , dated
also diiiy 2c , deals entirely with the
boundary dispute on its merits. lie
enters into an elaborate history of the
British claim , founded on the Dutch
cession , tells how the celebrated
Sehomburg line was rim , dwells on
many concessions offered by Great
Britain to Venezuela to reach an ar-
rangelnent and suggests that the
Venezuelan inistence upon the arbitration -
tration of the whole territory would
be paralleled by a refusal of Great
Britain to arbitrate the Alaskan
boundary line , unless half of Alaska
were thrown into arbitration.
APPLAUSE IN THE SENATE.
The President's iilessago receives an l7n
usual Demonstratiou of Approval.
WASHINGTON , Dec. lS.-When the
President's message reached the Senate -
ate , Mr. Morgan , chairman of the committee -
mittee on foreign relations , examined
it and then moved to go into executive
session.
At 1 u'clock the Senate resumed its
legislative session and the message of
the President was laid before the
body. The executive session , it was
explained officially , had been devoted
to the consideration of nominations.
As the reading of the message closed
there was a hearty hand-clapping
from all quarters of the chamber , Mr.
Chandler of New Hampshire leading
in the demonstration on the Repub-
] ican side. It was an innovatian to
the usual decorum of the senate ,
where the senators seldom , if ever ,
give vent to their feelings by applause.
Veterans of the senate say that it was
the most spontaneous demonstration
in their recollection.
The message and accompanying documents -
uments were referred to the committee -
tee on foreign relations , and then at
1:1 ; o'ciock the senate adjourned.

A WESTERN INTEREST
IRR3GATORS GATHER IN STATE
CONVENTION.
Third Annual Scsslon of the Association

Irrigation In Nebraska.
The third annual Nebraska state irrigation -
rigation convention opened at Sidney ,
Neb. , under magnificent auspices , with
nearly 1,000 delegatesand visitors. The
convention was called to order by Joseph -
seph Oberfelder , president of the local
executive committee , who in abrief address -
dress , stated the object of the gathering -
ing and the hope that the question
which would be presented would meet
with a hearty co-operation , not only
locally , but of the entire country.
The address of welcome by Mayor
Pease was a masterpiece of humor and
characteristic of a true western wel-
come.
After the report of the committee on
credentials the chairman , on motion ,
appointed a delegate from each county
on the committee on resolutions.
The report of the secretary was presented -
sented , from which the following is
taken :
One year ago , by the gracious courtesy -
tesy of the representatives of this association -
ciation , the writer became invested
with the powers and duties of secreta-
ry. The only records accessible were
the books , papers and documents containing -
taining the report of the second annual
convention , and these have been carefully -
fully preserved. The history of the
first year of our organization , though
familiar to all officers and many members -
bers , has not been committed to my
official care.
"No regularprintedreportof the last
convention has ever been made , for the
reason that no funds whatever were
at hand to defray the expenses. Many
calls have been made for copies of the
othicial report , but aside from condensed -
ed newspaper sketches of the convention -
tion , the demand has remained unsup-
plied. Such literature as has been
furnished has been distributed at my
own expense. Every letter of inquiry
has been answered during the year ,
and no week has passed without cor-
respondence. All expenses for post-
age. telegrams , stationery , etc. , hatr.e
been paid by the secretary personally ,
except only such stationery and postage -
age as has been furnished by the convention -
vention committee in connection with
preparations for this meeting.
'The treasurer , lion. James Whitehead -
head , writes me that he has not received -
ceived a cent of funds during his entire
term of office , and it goes without saying -
ing that the president and secretary ,
as all officers of our association , serve
without salary : If the work that has
been performed during the past year
and during the past two years by your
president should seem to you to merit
public approval and support , it may
not be out of place here to suggest
that the actual necessary printing and
postage bills at least should be assured
and paid by this organization.
'It would not be strange , under existing -
isting circumstances , if little had been
accomplished during the year's administration -
istration just closed. But fidelity to
history requites that a few things be
set down to show the effort that has
been put forth. Thepresident , lion. I.
A. Fort , has carried on en agitational
and educational campaign , extending
over every congressional district in
this state , and has gone forth as a missionary -
sionary for time cause of irrigation to
Illinois. Indiana and other states. lie
has kept the public press alive with
irrigation information and interviews
on the progress of the movement at
home and abroad. Every member of
our state executive committee favored
and worked for the passage of the present -
ent Nebraska irrigation law , introduced -
duced and championed in the legislature -
ture by Senator William Ii. Akers , now
a member of the state board of irriga-
tion. The resolutions that were
adopted by the Kearney convention relating -
lating to the passage of the district and
general irrigation law have been answered -
swered by legislation in accordance
therewith. Under the new code of
irrigation law , pronounced by eminent
critics to be one of the most carefully
framed and practicallyadapted statutes
of recent years in irrigation development -
ment , the face of our state has been
changed in many places as if by the
hand of a master magician. Before
one year has passed since the law n-cut
into effect forty-five counties have irrigation -
gation works of some kind under operation -
ation , and before the spring seed time
has come again the record will most
certainly show the scientific application -
tion of water to the soil in more than
sixty of our ei't hty counties of the state.
"Somewhere between S00 and ! ! 00
persons have filed their claims to the
public waters of the state with the
State Board of Irrigation and the corn-
inr : year will show a large increase
over this numler. Over 000,000 acres
\ebrasica productive soil have been
placed under ditch , reservoir or windmill -
mill irrigation. The cost of the works
already constructed amounts to nearly
1.500,000 , and the total cost when completed -
pleted mill be not less than 52,500,000.
The result has naturally been a large
increase in the value of the land
bromrht under the beneficial operations -
tions of the new system. Careful estimators -
maters now place the increase in land
values already apparent from SS,000-
000 to 10,000,000. If one year of active -
tive work can produce such prodigious
results , only the realm of the reckless
dreamer can undertake the unfoldmnent
of the coming decade in the advancement -
ment of scientific agriculture in the
new empire of the west.
"A delegation of eleven , five of whom
were appointed by the governor , represented -
resented Nebraska in the fourth National -
tional Irrigation convention at Albuquerque -
querque , \ . M. , last September. The
resolutions adopted by the second annual -
nual convention of our state association -
tion relating to future legislation by
congress relative to the supervision and
control of interstate waters was urged
by our delegation and adopted by eon-
gross. 'he congress also adopted a
resolution asking an appropriation of
$ ' 50,000 for the purpose of paying the
cost of a thorough and systematic irrigation -
gation survey of the arid and semi-arid
areas of the United States , and calling
for legislation providing for said survey -
vey under the direction of governmen-
tal. efforts.
"Nebraska was honored by the pr esi-
dent of the National Irrigation congress -
gress , who appointed your secretary
one of the five delegates to represent
the congress in the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial congress at Omaha last
mouth. The last named organization
adopted unanimously the resolutions
on irrigation presented by the Nebraska -
ka delegates and increased the recommendation -
mendation to the United States congress -
gress for an appropriation of 500,000.
"This organization of ours has exerted -
erted a tremendous educational effect
during the past year in spite of all its
ditliculties. Greater undertakings and
far more important duties are before us
for 1696. The decisions of the courts
are not at all discourag ing and the outlook -
look is constantly brightening ! ,
"As yet there are thousands who
have little or no information on the
subject of irrigation and the objects
for which our association was organized -
ized , the development of the arid and
semi-arid areas of Nebraska were never
so important and pressing as now. 'The
secretary desires , personally , to thank
every oflicer of the association and
every irrigator with whom he has come
in contact during the year , either at
long or short range , for their uniform
courtesy and unfailing patience in conveying -
veying information and assistance rendered -
dered in what has been confessedly on
your humble servant's part a weak , but
honest effort to serve the common cause
of all. Fraternally submitted.
"A. G. WOLvExn.uiola. "
THE MESSAGE APPROVED.
It Created a Great Sensation In Washlus-
ton.
WASIIINGTON , Dec. 19.-The message
of President Cleveland to Congress
transmitting the correspondence between -
tween Secretary Olney and Lord Sals-
bury relative to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute created a real sensation -
tion in Washington. Nowhere was
there a voice lifted in dissent from the
doctrine so firmly laid down by the
President , but on the contrary there
was an outburst of patriotic feeling
that must have been highly gratifying
to the chief executive.
On the street , the message was discussed -
cussed and old veterans of the late
war talked exultingly of what they
were prepared again to undertake at.
the call of their country.
In the great hall of the pension
building , the employes gathered and
sang with great gusto the "Star
Spangled Banner , " and "My Country ,
'Tis of Tee. "
At the White house messages poured
in from every quarter of the country ,
congratulating the President upon his
message. They came from men of all
parties and station.
The matter , of course , was of thn
greatest interest in diplomatic circles ,
and the general impression , on asober
second consideration of the notes , was
that the matter has not reached a
stage where war is imminent , and
that the hint of Great Britain's purpose -
pose to reopen negotiations with Venezuela -
ezuela , looking to settlement of the
dispute between themselves , perhaps
may be regarded as the indication of
how the whole matter will end.
Minister Andrade of Venezuela
secured a copy of the message early in
the day , anLt cabled it , by way of
Cuba and Hayti , to his government.
The time of transmission is eight
hours , and it is felt that its reception
at Caracas will 'oe the signal for an
enthusiastic demonstration. Mr. An-
drade's satisfaction was almost beyond -
yond the power of expression. "The
message is superb , " he said with much
enthusiasm. "it is even a surpri , + e to
me in its vigor , in the nobility of the
sentiments expressed , and in the masterly -
terly exposition of the Monroe doc-
trine. There can be no doubt or misconstruction -
construction of its meaning. In my
country it can not but arouse the
keenest , appreciation on the part of
the government. and the people for
this powerful expression of friendship
from a strong country in behalf of a
comparatively weak one. "
Mr. Andrade was asked what the
next step of Venezuela would be.
"There is nothing further for us to
do. We have announced our policy ,
and in that we have the co-operation
and support of the United States. We
are a little more than spectators now. "
"Is time plan of a commission to
investigate the question and fix the
line feasible ? " the minister was asked.
"Perfectly so , " ' lie replied. " 'Time
evidence can readily be furnished , so
far as Venezuela is concerned. It will
be a laborious work , as the documents
and maps are very voluminous , and
from many sources , including those of
IIolland , Spain and other countries , as
well as those of Von'neln. "
POLICE GUArW t ARS.
Philadelphia Street Railway Service In
Bad Shape.
PmLADELPII.l , Dec. 19.-Last night
not a street car of the Union Traction
company was running , though that
company controls every line in the
city with the exception of two comparatively -
paratively short cross-town lines. The
police were absolutely unable to control -
trol the mob violence ( luring the day
and the company concluded to shut
down at nightfall. Five hundred extra -
tra palicemen were sworn in by Mayor
Warwick last night , and added to the
regular force of x',100.
This morning all of the branches i
were in effect tied up , although cars
with formidable escorts of - police
made their circuits nearly everyone
of them without molestation. While
this enabled the officials to declare
that the lines were "open" it did not
help the situation much as fur as the
convenience of the riding public was
concerned.
The officials of time company declare
that they have plenty of men to run
the cars if they can get protection for
them. On the other lmand , the strikers
declare that enough skilled men to
take their places cannot be obtained.
The strike has proved a windfall of
considerable magnitude to the single
independent line in the city , which resisted -
sisted the pressure when the big consolidation -
solidation of all the other lines was
recently affected. The company runs
its cars to West Philadelphia on Arch
and Vine streets , and in its endeavor
to accommodate all the people who
wish to patronize it , pressed into service -
vice every summer car and even resurrected -
rected some which had been permanently -
nently sent to the hospital. Every
car run is packed to the roof. 1
The men have almost universal sym-
pathy-not only from conservative
citizens who , while deprecating violence -
lence , declare that the strikers have
right on their side-but from labor
unions throughout the country.

MEDICAL DISCOVERYI
DONALD KENNEDY , OF ROKBURY , MASS. ,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor , from the worst Scrofu a
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases , and never failed except in two cases
( both thunder humor ) . He has now in his
possession over two hundred tertificates
of its value , all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book. . .
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle , and a perfect cure is warranted -
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
Nhcu the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains , like needles passing
through them ; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. Tnis is caused by time ducts
being stopped , and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Real the label.
If the stonuch is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
time best you ca.l get , and enough of it.
Dose , one tablespoonful in water at bed-
tunic. Sold by all Druggists.
