It is stated thai the Northern
Pacific was recently offered $1,
500,000 l'or its express business,
and that the offer was subsequently
increased to $2,000,000, but the
company declined to sell.
North Dakota has for a seal the
device of an Indian chasing a
buffalo. As an example of anci
ent times this may do, but as an
indication of the present or the
future it is an impossibility as far
as the buffalo is concerned.
It is estimated that the amount
of gold and silver coin at the bot
tom of the Atlantic ocean is about
$50,000,000, and it is further esti
mated that most of it will stay
right where it is until the earth
makes another flop and the poles
rgain take the place of the equa
tor. The first National prohibition
convention was luM in Chicago,
on September 1, 1869, in pursu
ance to a call issued by a commit
tee appointed by the sixth Na
tional temperance convention,
that met in Cleveland, in the
early part of that year. James
Blade, of Pennsylvania, was the
first presidential nonrr.ee of this
party, and Clinton B. Fisk, of New
Jersey, the last. In the presi
dential election of 1884. John P.
St. John, of Kansas, was chosen
as its standard bearer.

Cured by Cuticura
I am cured of a loathsome disease, eczema,
iu its worst sUge. I tried diifereut doctors
and been through the hospital, but all to
no purpose. The disease covered my whole
body from the top ot my head to the soles
of my feet. My hair all came out, leaving
lue a complete raw sol e. After trying every
thing I heard of your Cuticura Remedies,
and after using three bottles of CUTICURA
Resolvent, with Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap, . I find myself cured at the cost of
about 8. I would not be without the
Cuticuka Kkmkdiks in my house, as I find
them useful iu many cases, and I think they
are the onlv suin aud blood medicines.

Burning and Itching
I was nick in the fall of 1S88 with a burn
ing aud itching so bad that in three weeks
was covered with a rash, and could not
sleep uights or woik d.iys. Some doctors
honght it might be salt rheum (eczema),
and said they had never seen anything like
it before. I received no help from any of
them, or from any medicine that I could
get hold of until I tried your CUTICURA
Remedies. After three weeks' use I was
able to work, and kept getting better, until
I am now entirely cored. 1 recommend
them to all suffering with skin diseases.

I have used the Cuticura Remedies suc
cessfully for my baby, who was afflicted

that he got no res'; day or night. The
itching is gone, aud my baby is cured, aud

JUST A PICTURE.
Just a pictcre, faint and faded,
Just a picture, nothing more,
Just a face from days departed,
Just a thought of all that's o'er.
But it brought back all the heartache,
And it brought back all the tears.
And it showed the future footsteps,
Through a vale of sighs aud tears.
Just a careless, heedlese sentence,
Just a look, and that was all;
Just a cruel, scathing quarrel,
Just an unkind word let fall.
And the future years are lengthning,
With the shadows far ahead,
And the heart withiu is stifled,
And the hopes of life are dead.
Just a pisture, faint and faded,
Just a picture, nothing more;
Just a face from days departed.
Just a thought of all that's o'er.
A Romance In Iowa.
The papers a few days ago con
tained a brief account of the search
that was being instituted for the
mother of a young woman who is
now a resident of this city and who
has a fortune awaiting her proper
identification. A little more than
twenty years ago Viola Adams
was married to a young "man
named Andrews. Her parents op
posed the match and, after the
young people were wedded, refused
them shelter under t! e parental
roof. All went well for awhile,
but soon the husband tired of his
bride and began to abuse her.
The advent of a baby girl did not
mend matters, and at the end ot
about two years Mrs. Andrews
took her girl and went home to
her widowed mother, her father
having died in the mean time
without breathing forgiveness for
her. He had not forgotten his
infant grandaughter, however, and
his will provided that $40,000 be
set aside, the interest and princi
pal to go to her when she arrived
at legal age. .
Two weeks after his wife had
left him Andrews went to the
house and stole the little girl, leav
ing Chicago and going to Des
Moines, la., then a prosperous vil
lage of about one fifth its present
population. The child was given
into the charge of -a Norwegian
lamily named Nelson, by whom
she was taught to regard herself as
one of the Jamily. She was called
by her christian name, Jennette,
but instead of Andrews she was
made to believe that she was a
Nelson. It was always -a matter
of surprise to the neighbors that
the was letter treated than the
remainder of the family; was bet
ter dressed, and during her school
days was always supplied with
pocket money. She was" taught
to regard Andrews, who remained
in Des Moines and became a
prosperous businessman, as a dear
friend of the family. He had
given her many presents, and it
was he who had given money to
the Nelsons to be given to her.
One day in June last Jennette
became ill, and a physician, Dr.
J. H. Brewer, then a resident of
Des Moines, was called. He made
several visits and became exceed
ingly interested in his patient
He became convinced that she was
not a child of the Nelsons and
strongly suspected that Mr. An
drews was in some way related to
her. The doctor told Jennette to
go to him and claim relationship,
and perhaps by 'thus confronting
him he might be startled into
making admissions. At first the
father denied, but the girl was per
sistent and the father finally told
her how he and Jennette's mother
had parted; how he. had stolen her
when a child and intended keep
ing her until she should become
of age, when he would go with her
and claim the inheritance, now

greatly augmented by the accumu
lations of all those years. The
father stated that his wife had
taken her maiden name of Viola
Adams and slill lived in Chicago,
and that years ago she had offered
from her father's estate a reward
of $10,000 for " the . return of her
stolen child.
Having become satisfied that
she was no child of the Nelsons,
Jennette would remain there no
longer, and placed herself in the
charge of Dr. Brewer, and became
a member of his family. A few
months ago he moved to Sioux
City and she came with her new
found friends. It seemed an
easy matter, knowing that her
mother was in Chicago at least up
to a few years ago, to establish
communication between the moth
er and her long-lost daughter, but
up to this time it has not been
done. It was in furthering this
end that the assistance of Chief of
Police Hubbard of Chicago was
sought, and by him the outlines of
the story were given to the press.

JONES' SAYINGS.
Rev. Sam Jones in a sermon on
"The Good Fight" said:
How long would it have taken
to conquer the south if half the
northern soldiers went lounging,
drinking and dancing with the
southern army just what the
churctris doing?
'Don't ask God to turn his guns
on the devil and kill half the
church at the first lick. Joshua
drew the lin and said: "Come
over to' the Lord's side." He who
does this leaves the devil's terri
tory. The devil " and the world
are not harming the church to-day,
but members of the church are
doing a power of damning.
If you ran your business as you
run your church the sheriff would
sell you out in six months. So
the devil would sell out your
churches for he has a big mort
gage on them only they won't
bring any thing in the market of
this world or the next.
EDISON'S TALKS.
Thomas A. Edison, in a recent
talk about his phonograph said:
"For seven months I worked from
eighteen to twenty hours a day
upon the single sound 'specia.'
I would say to the instrument
specia,' and it would always say
'pecia,' and I couldn't make it 6ay
anything else. It was enough to
make me crazy. But I stuck to it
until I succeeded, and now you
can read a thousand words of a
newspaper at the rale of, 150
words a minute, and the instru
ment will repeat them to you
without an omission. You can
imagine the difficulty of the task
that I accomplished when I tell
you that the impressions made
upon the cylinder are not more
than one-millionth part of an inch
in depth and are completely in
visible even with the aid of a mi
croscope." By actual count it has been as
certained that there are now in
course of construction in Birming
ham, Ala., 2,000 buildings includ
ing large manufacturing establish
ments, fine business houses . and
splendid private residences.
The total number of . Masons in
the world is variously estimated at
from '3,000,000 ' to 5,000,000.
Mext in numerical order. is the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows,
with a total membership of 600,
000. The . Independent Order of
Good Templars claims a member
ship of 300000.
A RAILROAD PAY DAY.
"Please check off Leland Stan
ford for $833.33 and send him a
warrant for the same," was the
first words of Paymaster Hanford
of the Southern Pacific railroad
company to his clerk yesterday
morning. This sum of money was
Stanford's September salary as
president of the Southern Pacific,
and Hanford was paying off the
salaries of the officials and em
ployees. It may seem a little strange that
Stanford's salary is only $10,000
a 37ear, but such is the case. It is
the smallest salary that any" man
in this country gets who is" at the
head of a railroad of any size.
Huntington gets the same salary,
and so does Colonel Crocker.
HanforcTs first caller was
Passenger Agent Goodman's office
boy. He was given two ten-dollar
gold pieces. As he was going out
he was told to take a check for
$2,100 up to General Manager
Towne.
"Good morning, Mr. Gage," said
the paymaster, as the assistant to
Stanford walked into the room.
Gage cheerily responded, and
walked away with a big check.
Timothy Hopkins, Treasurer of
the Southern Pacific company, is
expected to return from New York
with Colonel Fred Crocker, who
went east last Saturday on a short
vacation. Hopkins has been ab
sent in Paris and New York for
several mouths past.
A gentleman acquainted with
the workings of the railroad com
pany said, in speaking of Colonel
Crocker's eastern trip yester
day: "Do you know that Colonel
Crocker and Timothy Hopkins are
the two youngest railway officers
in the United States, with the ex
ception of George Gould that occu
py positions above a general mana
ger? For the length of time they
have been in the railway service
I do not believe you can find any
where men as young as they in
equally as responsible railroad po
sitions, excepting, of course, Geo
Gould again.
"While it certainly must be ad
mitted that these three gentlemen
owe their positions to fortunate
circumstances, it is equally as true
that both Hopkins and Crocker
are very able railroad men. Of
George Gould I know nothing-
"Colonel Crocker is to-day the
virtual executive head of the
Southern Pacific. He has master
ed its details and shows good ex
ecutive ability. Of course no im
portant move is made without all
the owners being consulted, but
Stanford and Huntington have in
the last two or three years been
putting .more and more of the
work of directing t he affairs of the
road on his shoulders. I think he
likes the increase of responsibility,
but I notice he is getting ' as gray
as an old man, and he's only thirty
four now.
"Timothy Hopkins is also show
ing much ability in railroad
management, and it is my impres
sion that when Stanford and Hunt
ington, who are now almost
seventy years of age, pass away
the great railroad property they
are interested in will depend for
its future financial prosperity upon

Stillman of New York, who, with
