A PACIFIC COAST ROiAIICE.
Th* World's Fair question
seems to bate cbanged in the oon
gretsional miud from the form,
where shall it be held? to, shall it
be held?
Th* report of Senators Frye
Davis on the Union and Cen-
tral Pacific funding scheme ehowa
that republican majority in con-
gress is about to carry out their
bargain with the monopolist.
Pxbbaps the beet thin^ that the
senate can do with the Montana
senatorial contest would be to
throw it out and compel the new
state to do without senatorial rep«
resentation until ite legislature can
eleot senators properly.
Boss Platt has agreed to a
compromise in the New \ork
World's Fair bond bill, but it is a
serious question whether the New
Yorkers can effect a compromise
with the disgust of the whole
country with Boss Platt.
m ^
King MaLIEtoa has found that
the Samoaa trearury has been
emptied by the Tamaeeae faction.
Thus another bond of sympathy
between the Uni»ed States and
Samoa will be established when
Speaker Reed and his friends
have hud their swing.

News reoeired at Seattle is to
the effect that Darid M. Drumhel
ler has arrived in Spokane Falls
with his bride. Thie culminates
an interesting romance. The bride
was Nellie G. Powell, daughter of
the late President Powell, of the
University of Washington. When
the great gold spike celebration of
the Northern Pacific railroad took
place in Seattle, Nellie Powell
was selected to give the address of
w« lcome to Henry Villard. She
captivated the whole Villard fam-
ily and when her father died she I LYON A GRIBBLE—Dealers in Lum-

A Washington book canvasser
named Reed did a lively business
with the delegates to the Pan
American congress, who were
under the impression that they
were dealing with the speaker o
the house. After their experi.
ence with Wanamaker the dele-
gates, doubtless, thought that they
were expected to "do business"
with all the federal officials.
Hon. John M. Moore, present
Secretary of State, ha* determin-
ed to make the race for Attorney-
General and will formally an-
nounce his purpose in a few days.
Mr. Moore has made the State an
excellent officer while superintend-
ing the affairs of State, and there
is every reason to believe that he
would fill the office of Attorney-
General with ability, and with
credit and satisfaction to the great
State of Texas.
It hae become a widely circu.
lated fact that Mrs. Charles D
Haines has been elected president
of Haines Medina Texas Valley
railroad, being the fiist woman
ever elected president of a steam
railroad Notice of this fact has
gone so tar as to prevail across the
waters, and it is thus universally
admitted that in this respect, as in
all others, Texas strives for the
lead in the matter of railroad ad
van cement.—Dallas News.
Fobaker's reputation is so well
known, even in Canada, that t!ie
Canadian ministers do not hesitate
to assure parliament that they do
not believe there is a word of
truth in Foraker's statement that
h« reoeived telegrams from Wash
ington when he was governor of
Ohio asking how many men he
oould send to invade Canada. His
previous reputation as a mere
"blowhard" was ruined by his
Wood ballot-box forgery, and he
is now generally regarded as one
who oould not tell the truth if he
wanted to, and would not if he
oould.

m^ority of the country, Speaker
Road's party in the house repre-
movod, with her mother, to New
York, and was tnerefore a con-
st in t visitor in the Villard house
hold and pursued her studies in
Geiman with Miss Holena.Vil-
lard. About a year ago she re
turned to Washington, and while
,e aching school at Spokane Falls
she met D. M. Drumheller, the
millionaire banker, stockman and
oapitalist. He loved her, but she
was engaged to a young student in
Yale Theological School and was
loth to discard him. She finally
consented, but again relented two
days before the wedding day and
fled to California. Sickness over
took her there, and she wrote to
Mr. Drumheller. He hastened to
her, and they were married in the
Justice's Court at Santa Cruz, in
the presence only of strangers.
A Terrible Stery Frera Queensland,
That is a terrible story coming
from North Queensland about a
man who was lost in the bush.
He used up all his water and then
dropped his "billy" in the agony
of his thirst. By and by, fortu-
nately, he came to a waterhole,
where he slaked his thirst and
found the road again. He had
still some thirty miles to go, how.
ever, and he had nothing what- j
ever to carry water in. Of course
it would have been mad
ness to attempt to travel thirty
miles on foot under a North
Queensland sun without any
water, so his ready invention
came to his aid. He had been
horrified a short distance back by
the skeleton of a man who had
evidently been dead several years.
He went back and got the skull,
plugged up the eyeholes with clay
and filled it with water. He then
tramped that thirty miles on the
water oontained in the skull. Can
any novelist imagine a more
ghastlyand frightful idea than thi*.
A Bright aad Witty Girl Flxeea Dade.
Some time since one of the
brightest and wittiest of Cincin-
nati's girls went abroad and when
she retured among those to wel-
come her was a dude with lots of
cash, but he was short on brains.
In relating places she had visited
she mentioned Ireland. Instantly
the dude's ears swung around to
the fore like a pair of palm leaf
fans, he stopped sucking the cellu-
loid cane and interrupted the con-
versation with:
"Ah, in Ireland; and did you
kisB the Blarney stone?"
"Yes, I was there."
' Oh, I should so delight to see
it. It has always been a desire of
mine to kiss that celebrated stone,
but I never had the opportunity."
"Indeed, then you should go
there."
"I know, but I have not done
so, but why shouldn't I kiss it by
proxy? You have been there and
kissed it, why should I not take
the influence of the Blarney from
your lips?"—and the simpering id
iot stepped forward, grinning, to
proxify the young lady.
But she drew back, and looking
him squarely in the face, said: 1
beg your pardon Mr. B . but
sat upon the Blarney stone."
The dude was paralyzed^ he shot
into the hall and out into the
street, while his face wore the ex.
pression of a man who had been
hit with a trip hammer covered
with plush. He hasn't said any-
thing about Ireland since.—[Cin-

-AND THE
Whipped fsr Wife-Beating.
Newton, Conn., Feb. 20.—John
Campbell, of this place, was
flayed last night by four masked
men and is suffering badly to-day.
Campbell has been in the habit of
beating his wife, an amiable young
woman, and has once been con^
fined in jail for thrashing her.
The couple live in a neat cottage
on the main turnpike, and the
neighbors say they often heard
Campbell beating his wife: On
Sunday afternoon he struck her on
the head with a blunt instrument,
making a dangerous Bcalp wound.
Mrs. Campbell fled to a neigh-
bors house. Her wounds were
dressed, and the woman was made
oomfortable. Late last night four
citixens, disguised and masked,
entered Campbell's house and
dragged him to the street. Camp-
bell's night dress was torn oil,and
in a nude condition he wis lashed
to a telegraph pole. The men
then whipped him with rawhides
until he became unconscious.
The mta's back and limbs were
ooyered with welts. He was oar-
ried back IS his house and placed
in bed. His cries aroused the
neighbors and brought a crowd to
the soene, bat when they found
Campbell was being whipped bo
