"May it always carry messages of

when the 'California end of the all-

no matter how much unhappmess a
message may convey , it will be soon
over.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman , the
opposition leader in the House of
Commons , was lately interrupted by
the prime minister , who judged that
he was wandering too far from the
question. "You are not arguing about
me. I hope , " said Mr. Balfour. "No , "
r replied Sir Henry , "I am arguing at
large. " The phrase fits the discursive
ness and inconsequence of many a leg
islative address.
Better than arbitration wise and
necessary as that may be at times-
better than arbitration , especially than
enforced arbitration , is mutual ac
quaintance , respect , confidence , and
ease of approach ; and these cannot be

In a paper read before a women's
club the other day the advantages of
comeliness in woman was discussed.
It is admitted on all sides that woman
has a perfect right to be beautiful.
The world would be a desolate waste
if woman should by any chance forget
that it is her duty at all times to be as
beautiful as it is possible for her to be.
At the same tinip there is now , as there
has ever been , much truth in the old
saying that beauty at its best is only
skin deep. Comeliness of face and
symmetry of figure are not to be des
pised , but the beauty that is lasting ,
that does not fade , that requires no
frostilla , and that is everywhere ad
mired and everywhere beloved , is
beauty of character , and this charm
* may be found In company with Jthe
II plainest of features and the most com

after all , that Is worth striving for.
The estimates of the Russian govern
ment for the ensuing year include an
ordinary expenditure of $940,202,614
: uul nn extraordinary expenditure of
$93.031,121 , or a total of $1,035,833 735.
This sum is larger than the national
debt of the United States and calls
J for a larger revenue than Is raised by
p my other country of the world. En
gland , under stress of the Boer war ,
has increased her annual expenditures
to .ibout nine hundred millions , but the
situation is abnormal , and before the
\vir the amount was considerably un-
tk-r six hundred millions. France re
quires something like seven hundred
mllions annually , and including post-
ollice expenditures and interest pay
ments the United States has approxi
mated that figure. Germany's account
is less than six hundred millions. Rus-
sin does not rank with any of these
powers as an industrial nation , but it
is evident that she must have great re-
sources In order to keep up her present
gait and continue solvent and It ap
pears that to care for the estimated
expenditures she has estimated 'reve- .
nues of $948,516,339 , a surplus of. .
$8,313,724 , an extraordinary revenue
of $1,250,000 and a treasury reserve of
$80,067,397. In glancing over a state
ment of the estimated revenue of the
last year the largest items are seen
to be : Under the head of indirect tax
es , customs duties , 205,732,000 rubles
( the ruble being worth about 51.5
cents ) ; under the head of state mo
nopolies , sale of spirits , 462,808.000 ru
bles ; under the head of state domain ,
state railways. 396,070,000 rubles.
There are direct taxes on land and
forests , a considerable sum is raised
from trade licenses , from stamp du
ties , from mines , posts and telegraphs
and from divers other sources , so that
a complete enumeration would be a
long one. It is to be noted also that
part of the expenditures , as this de
scription of the revenues shows , go to
productive investments. A large In
come is derived from the state railroads -
roads , and no doubt the money that is"
still pouring into the great Siberian
transcontinental line will ultimately
yield a return.
In olden days young men were urged
to seize opportunities for advancement
as they presented themselves , and to
that end were advised to fit themselves
for higher work , so that they should
be prepared for any opening that might
arise. That remains good advice , but !
in these strenuous days it is supple
mented by the recommendation that
young men make their opportunities.
The present generation is not content
to await the tide which "taken at its
flood leads on to fortune , " but is dis
posed to rty at least to make the tide.
The individual with a new , sound and
popular idea in business creates his
opportunity ; he may bring about the
tide that will carry him to fortune.
The creation of business combinations , )
or trusts , as they are generally called ,
is largely due to this effort to bring
about by one's own efforts opportuni
ties for profit instead of awaiting their
coming. The poet's description of op
portunities as tides in the affairs of
men gives too great a recognition to
chance for this scientific and practical
tage. There are unquestionably some
'
'things that occur by chance that is
to say , result from some combination
of circumstances over which the utmost - :
most human wisdom and vigilance
may have no control. One may meet )
with good luck or with bad luck in
this sense , but the field in which luck
is an important factor is being con
stantly narrowed. Fifty years ago the
results of Iron casting were frequently
regarded as a matter of luck ; with the
application of scientific methods of
mixing ores and applying heat luck
disappeared as a factor , and now a
casting conies out with reasonable cer
tainty that it will have whatever qua
lities may be desired. The early dynamo
name machines were of uncertain ca
pacity until tested. To-day the maker
knows in advance exactly what cur
rent a dynamo will yield under given ,
conditions as to speed. In all the affairs - ;
fairs of life knowledge , which brings'
certionty of results , is to a greater degree - '
gree than heretofore taking the place1
of chance. It is still the part of wis- ,
doin for the ambitious to prepare
themselves , but the competitions of the
day are too fierce to allow any one to
sit idly waiting for a tide. He should
be engaged in rowing when the tide
comes along to help him ; or , better
still , should create the opportunities
which may lead to his advancement
How is he to do this ? A specific answer - ,
swer cannot be given ; but it is quite' '
evident that he will be fitted to create1
opportunities only by the acquisition
of knowledge , diligent practice of his
powers and zeal in the discharge of
present duties.
The Rule of the Majority.
Freshly varnped to suit the occasion ,
a really good college- story can be
handed down from master to master.
But a writer in the Cornhill Magazine
has a good case in claiming as individual - ,
vidual a story which he tells of Beuja- ;
min Jowett , for few Oxford heads'
have been so inexact in matters of ?
Scriptural history as the late master1
of Balliol.
It had reached Jowett's ears that
Balliol men were not so successful in
the examinations in rudiments of re-t
ligions in the classical schools , so he
determined to call up the next batch
of candidates and catechize them him
self.
"Mr. Smith , " he is reported to have ;
said on the momentous occasion ;
!
"what prophet , went up to heaven in a
chariot of fire ? "
"Elijah , sir. "
"It is disgraceful that a scholar 01
this college should be so ignorant ! " *
said the master , severely. "Mr. Jonesj
what prophet went up to heaven in al
chariot of fire ? "
"Elijah , sir. "
"Mr. Brown , will you answer this
perfectly simple question ? "
"Elijah , sir. "
At this point the library boy entered ,
and to strike all the undergraduates ;
with shame , he was appealed to : i
"Tell these gentlemen what prophetj
went up to heaven in a chariot olJ
fire. "
"Elijah , sir. "
There ensued a pause ; then the mas
ter aid : "Well , gentlemen , perhaps
it wes Elijah.- You are dismissed. "
Industrial Capital in Pittsburg.
The aggregate capitalization of the

times that of Russia or Belgium and
twenty-five times that of Spain.

Twenty-two Dead and Probably
Forty-five Injure * ,
Olean , N. Y. , March 11. A report
from the scene of disaster at 2 o'clock
Tuesday morning says twenty-two
bodies have been taken from the
wreckage. Some of them are burned
beyond recognition only trunks and
skulls remaining. The last estimate
of the casualties places the number
of dead at twenty-two , and the in
jured at forty-five. Some of the in
jured will die.
Olean , Nr Y. , March 11. A score
or more people were killed and a large
number were injured by an explosion
of oil near here Monday night. A
freight train on the Erie , made upi
principally of oil tank cars , filled ,
with oil , broke in two near this city
at 9 o'clock. Two sections of the ,
train came together with a crash and
one of the oil tanks was demolished.
Fire broke out almost instantly and ,
the sky was lighted up for miles.
A large crowd of people left this ,
city for the scene of the fire. While ;
they were lined up along the tracks-
a terrific explosion occurred. The }
flames communicated quickly with' '
the other tank cars and a second and
third explosion -followed each otherj
in rapid succession. Sheets of flame ;
shot out in all directions. Scores of
persons were caught within the zone :
of the fire and enveloped in flames. ]
Men and boys ran screaming downj
the tracks with their clothing a mass'
of flames. Others fell where they
stood , overcome by the awful heat.
Just how many were killed is not
known , as many of the bodies were
Incinerated.
Sydney Fish , a prominent business
man , returned from the scene of the
.Ire at midnight. He said :
"I was attracted to the scene of
the fire between 9:30 : and 10 o'clock.
When I was within a quarter of a
mile of the wrecked train there was
a terrific explosion. Flames shot out
wards and upwards for a great dis
tance. I saw several persons who
started to run away drop on the rail
way tracks and they never moved
again. Others who had been stand-
in close to the wreckage were hurled
through the air for hundreds of feet.
The scene was awful. Half a dozen
young boys ran down the tracks with
their clothing on fire. They resem
bled human torches. 1 could hear
their agonized screams distinctly
from where 1 stood. They ran some
distance down the track and then
threw themselves to the ground , grov
elling in the ditches in their frantic
efforts to extinguish the flames.
Then they lay still , some of them un
conscious , others dead. I do not
know how many were killed , but I
counted twenty bodies before I came
away. "
Word was sent at once to Olean po
lice headquarters by telephone. Every
doctor and ambulance in the city was
summoned Grocery wagons and car
riages of all kinds were pressed into *
service and everything possible was
done to bring the injured without de
lay to the hospitals for treatment.
At midnight the first of the in
jured arrived at the hospital. They
were four young boys. Their injuries
were frightful. Great patches of flesh
were burned off and hung in shreds
from their bodies.
It will be difficult to ascertain the
names of a great many of the dead
tonight , as their bodies were burned
to ashes in the intense heat. A can
vass is being made of the city as rap
idly as possible to find out the names
of those missing. There is great ex
citement in the city and the streets
are thronged with people.
Large cvowds gathered at the hos
pital and the faces of the injured
were anxiously scanned as they were
borne into the building on stretchers.
Heart rending scenes were witnessed
when one of the poorblistered bodies
was recognized by a father or a moth
er or brother and it was with diffi
culty that persons were restrained
from invading the operating room.
The number of dead is known to be
at least eighteen , and some estimates
place it as high as twenty-five. Over
two score were more or less seriously
injured. Some of them will die. It
is out of the question to identify any
of the bodies recovered.

DISCOVERY OF SELF MURDER
Youig Man at Stanton Takes His Own Life-
Body Left For Many Days.
Stanton. Neb. , March 10. Johi
Grocshinzer , a young unmarried mai
about thirty-five years of age , com
mitted suicide supposedly last Tues
day. He took a small rope , tied it
about a spike driven in the wall , tiec
it about his neck and simply knell
down bearing his weight upon tb <
rope. His feet were on the floor when
the b dy was discovered on Friday ,
and his bent knees almost touching.
He had apparently made no struggle
as his cap was on his head and hif
cjothing was not at all disarranged.
He was an industrious young mar
and no case was known for the act.
The corneoner's jury completed theii
investigations Saturday forenoon and
returned a verdict in conformity with
the foregoing statement.
Was Late to Church.
Valley , Neb.March 10. Miss Katt
Whitrnore , daughter of W. G. Whit-
more of this place , on Sunday estab
lished a reputation for pluck and
nerve that entitle her to be pliced
alongside of western heroines who in
time of emergency prove themselves
able to come out of a perilous posi
tion as handily as one of t'he sterner
sex. Her reputation was gained in
handling a team of runaway horses.
Miss Whitmore lives with her par-
5nts about a mile west of here , and
) n Sunday morning she started for
town driving a team of spirited
iiorses. She intended getting two
poung lady acquaintances and taking
them to Fremont to attend church.
A.S she was about to stop in front
) f a house for one of her friends the
worses became frightened at some-
jhing and started out at a headlong
? ait on the road to Waterloo.
The team was too strong for Miss
iVhitmore to stop , and she was un-
ible to check their speed in any de-
free. She did not lose her presence
) f mind , however , but kept the
jquines in the. middle of the road.
Several men saw the team start off
ind three or four of them jumped
mto horses and started after the
iwiftly disappearing rig. Telephone
nessages were sent out to farmers
ilong the road notifying them of the
; unaway , and a moment or two latei
; hey saw Miss Whitmore and the
, eam fly past. The men on horseback
? ere unable to catch up with her.
The dispatcher's orders transmitted
ver the telephone resulted , however ,
h giving her a clear right of way and
lor three miles the horses carried her
Ihead a a furious pace Having ex
pended so much of their energy , they
) ecame more docile and she finally
ucceeded in stopping them. She
.urned them about , drove back to
Galley , got her friends and went on
.0 Fremont with the same team , but
oo late to attend church.
Found Dead in His Cabin.

lhaft in Whitetail gulch , three miles
tbDve Lead , a bullet hole in the tem-
ile. He had killed himself several
lours previously for the body was cold
ind rigid. On the bed was a Colt's
.evolver of 44 calibre , with which he
lad inflicted the fatal wound. In
: he , walls of the cabin were several
Juliet holes and several lights had
jeen broken out of the windows by
wllets , indicating that he had passed
leveral hours practicing with the
veapon before turning it on himself.
tfcKinley had not been seen for over
i day and neighbors supposed he had
; one away on a visit. Up to a short
lime ago he was employed as hoisting
: iigineer bv the Horseshoe Mining
: ompany. He was thirty-five years
) ld , and left two sisters in this part
) f South Dakota , one , Miss Mary
ilcKinley , teaching school at Nemo ,
ind the other , Mrs. James Summer-
rille , at Central City. An inquest
ivas held over the remains by the
joroner , the theory of suicide being
jhoroughly established and the act-
attributed to despondency.
Dashes Down the Incline.
Fall Eiver , Mass. , March 10. A
mow plow which was being trans-
'erred from one section of the Old
Colony street railway to another be-
; ame unmanageable at the top of a
steep hill , in this city today , and ,
dashing down the incline , crashed in
to two cars loaded with passengers.
Both the passenger cars were almost
sompletely demolished and five per
sons sustained bruises and flesh
wounds enough to necessitate their
being carried to a hospital. A dozen
others were bruised and put by glas ?
or splinters. The accident was causf d
by the breaking of a brake block on
'she snow plow.

I.jmboldt , Neb. , March 9. Con
siderable excitement was caused in
this city Saturday afternoon among
the crowd of customers in the First
National bank when as a farmer
stepped up to the teller's window and
handed in a check for one hundred
dollars , the maker of the note who
had accompanied him into the build
ing , called to the cashier not to pay
the check for the reason that it had
been obtained under duress , stating
that the holder of the paper had
threatened to take his life if the
check were not forthcoming and had
enforced his demands with a wicked
looking knife. The man accused of
the offense was at once taken in
charge by the officers of the city on a
charge of drunkenness , and locked up
until a definite plan of prosecutior.
has been arranged. The story as told
by Dr. J. L. Gandy , the well known
physician and land owner , who gave
the note , is quite blood-curdling and
is about as follows : For the past
season one of the doctor's farms near
this city has been leased by Fred
Kenter , a middle aged farmer , and
the doctor not being thoroughly sat
isfied with him as a tenant had ar
ranged to have the place occupied by
another party for the coming season.
To this end he notified Kenter several
months ago to look elsewhere for a
farm , but this the latter failed to do ,
and when the first of March came
was still in possession of the Gandy
farm. After vainly endeavoring to
persuade the farmer to vacate Gandy
sought the aid of a local firm of at
torneys and afcer much delay Kenter
agreed to vacate for the sum of $50 ,
and to this the owner agreed , the
money to be paid after possession had
been given. Things seemed to be all
satisfactory until this afternoon when
the farmer having vacated came into
town for his money. This was paid
by the attorneys and a receipt given ,
the farmer departing apparently sat
isfied with his bargain Later , hav-
in filled up on liquor , he dropped in
to the offlce of the doctor and finding
him alone , demanded one hundred
dollars more , stating that he had
been caused considerable trouble , and
the doctor being a man of wealth ,
could easily afford to spare the
amount. The latter attempted to
protest that the proceedings were
unusual when the farmer drew a dan
gerous looking knife and punctuating
his remarks with profanity remarked
that he meant business , and if the
doctor did not sit down and at once
write him out a check he would cut
his throat. Seeing that the man was
half crazy and doubtless meant every
word he said , the threatened man
thought it best to adopt conciliatory
measures and drew up and signed the
check as directed , handing it over to
the farmer , intending to stop pay
msnt by telephone.
Kenter , however , feared something
to this kind , and taking Gandy by
the arm gave him to understand that
he was to accompany him to the bank
and see that the check was paid. Arriving
*
riving at the bank door the doctor
again attempted to elude the vigilant
captor and notify the bank president
but the farmer balked bis design by
muttering to him that he had better
stay outside the railing. However ,
there being several other parties in
the room Gandy made the facts
known as stated above and not only
saved his coin but escaped injury as
well. Kenter when drinking is gen
erally recognized as a dangerous char
acter , and it is claimed the above
assault was the second one for yes
terday. Earlier in the day he was
accompanied to the residence of his
mother ( recently deceased ) by Ed-
wardwin Samuelson , son of the pres
ident of the First National bank ,
both going for the purpose of taking
an inventory of the personal property
of the deceased , the same being re
quired by the probate court. While
the work was going on Kenter asked
young Sarauelson to take a drink of
whiskey wjith him , and upon the
latter declining , flew into a rage , de
claring that he would kill him then
and there.
Killed in a Drunken Row.
Hutchinson , Kas. , March , 9. Len
Lewis shot and killed Baum Hatch ,
' ; negro , during a drunken row be
cause Hatch had assumed the role of
protector to Lewis' wife. Mrs. Ema-
line Hatch , wife of the dead man in
a spirit of revenge , later set fire to a
wagon belonging to Lewis , in which
John Powers , another drunked revel
er , was sleeping. Powers was fatally
burned before he awoke from his
stupor.
