NEWS OF RAILROADS PRESIDENT fcIBLLEN, OF THHS NORTHERN PACIFIC, SAYS PROSPECTS ARE GOOD LAST WINTER WAS UNUSUAL In Tbat Many Thousand* of Dol lar* Were Saved That Are I dual ly Spent Keeping the Tracks Clear of Snow Union Paclflo May Eventually Get Cntrol of the Oregon Short Line. President Charles S. (Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, returned from New York yesterday. During his absence the stockholders' and directors' elec tions have been held and the former officers were all re-elected. The only change in the board of directors was the substitution of George A. Baker, a large stockholder In the road, in place of Francis Lynde Stetson. Mr. Stetson remains general counsel to the company. •'The Northern Pacific," said Mr. Mel len to a reporter for The Globe, "de clares a dividend of 1 per cent on its preferred stork, which will be payable Deo. 1. The reports that a disagree ment exists among- the directors, so far as I know, are without foundation. 1 did mot observe any difficulty. There is no reason why the stock should be affected by such rumors." Mr. Mellen said that there was no doubt that the Union Pacific had ob tained control of the Oregon Short Line and that It had secured a clear way to Portland and coast traffic. That had been anticipated for some time by the other transcotntinental roads. He also said It was not improbable that the Union Pacific would eventual ly gain control of the entire Oregon railway system. "The Union Pacific," he said, "holds a majority of the common stock of the Oregon Railway and Navigation com pany, while the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern hold about half of the preferred stock of that company. It is stipulated that until the Oregon railway company pays 20 per cent divi dends on the preferred stock the North ern Pacific and the Great Northern shall control the road. We elect ten of the fifteen directors. The Oregon Railway amd Navigation company has thus far paid about 15 per cent divi dends, but if the Union Pacific inter ests should pay the other 5 per cent on the preferred stock, then the common stock would control the company. There is twice as much common as preferred stock, but the common can not control until the agreement regard ing the preferred it ful filled." - 'Mr. Mellen was questioned about the annual report which was recently issued and the criticisms made that it was too g>ood a showing for a railway company to make, the idea being that it should be seized upon as a pretext for hostile legislation. "I do not know about that," replied Mr. Mellen. "I have not had any ex perience with legislators in this sec tion of the country, but. If the legis lators who anticipate any such action against the company will look back a few years, they will not find that the prosperity of this company has been such as to warrant them in sharpen ing their knives now." Mr. Mellen said an understanding with the Oregon Railway company had been reached as to the proposed new Pasco branch of the Northern Pacific, and it would be built. It is a email line and will cost but about $80,000. No other extensions of note were contem plated by the Northern Pacific, though it was the company's policy to get new connections whenever desirable. Speak ing generally of the road, Mr. Mellen said that while the outlook for busi ness this winter was excellent he did not think the line would be operated as cheaply this year as last. "It is our policy," he said, "to re trench wherever we can, and we shall continue to do so, but the last winter was a remarkably open one and favor able to reduction in operating expenses. We were saved many thousands of dol lars usually s*pcnt every winter in keeping the tracks clear of snow, and there were other favorable conditions which we cannot expect this winter. On the other hand, we have an excel lent prospect of good business, so the receipts will more than keep pace with past ycar3." REDUCE LOCAL PARES. Bortdeata of WaHhln^ton, Idnlio and Montana, to Travel Cheaper. Residents of Washington, Idaho and Montana will be pleased to know that on Nov. 1 the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways will reduce local fares in those states from five to four cents a mile. This announcement was rnadi yesterday by representatives of -both comipainies to a reporter for The G1 o b c. "We believe that the reduction of passenger rates on the Northern Pa cific will bring us more business," said General Traffic Manager llannaford to a reporter for The Globe. -'Those states are now pretty well settled and we think the amount of business there warrants us in trying such an experi ment. This will make four re-nts* the maximum rate per mile on local busi ness on our line." General Passenger Agent F. I. Whit ney, of the Great Northern, said that company had agreed to meet the re duction made by the Northern Pacific. "We were asked to make a four-cent rate in Washington and Idaho," he said, "ancl we said We would have to make the same rate for Montana, so It was agreed to make a four-con t rate right through. The time has come when both railways can afford to throw off the extra cent in those states." TALK OF A BOYCOTT. Other Line* Do Not Like the Great Western's Conrxe. There are reports in railway circles that a boycott is to be instituted against the Chicago Great Western by lines in the Western Freight Weighing association, because that company withdrew from that association and re fuses to return to it. There was a meeting of the executive officers of the Western Trunk line, in Chicago last Friday arid Saturday, which was os tensibly held to adjust rates in the Western territory, but its real purpose, it is said, was to devise a punishment, for the Chicago Great Western for its contumacy. The Chicago Great Western officials have always expressed little regard for associations of that kind and have open ly issued tariff sheets showing cut rates on freight. When taken to task it has always set up tho defense that it was simply doing openly what the other lines were doing secretly, and has de clined to apologise. The Chicago Great Western has been for a long time ac cused of demoralizing- the freight sit uation. Whenever the freight business looked queer the other roads pounced upon the Chicago Great Western. a& the culprit and whether guilty or not lL hiaa , alwa y s been declared convicted. Nsw it is said, the Western trunk lines have determined to bring- the Chi cago Great Western into line by per isuasion. If they can, by compulsion if they must The officials of the Chi cago Great Western smile complacently when asked about the trouble and say that while they respect the Western Weighing association they have no fear of the consequences of a boycott Refund Che«k» Not Taxable. WASHINGTON. Oot. 10.-Janw* BL Boyd. assistant attorney general, has rendered an opinion in which he holds the refund check given passengers on railroad trains who pay cash In exce-as of regular fare* is not subject to the stamp tax.

Soldiers Threatened to Lyaeh tlie Slayer of a Comrade. LEXINGTON, Ky., Cct. 10,-As the resu t of the killing cf a private o? the Twelfth New York, last night, three or four hundred mem bers o£ that regiment formed a mob tonight and seized a train at Camp Hamilton v.iih the intention of coming to town on it and raiding the county jail for the purpose of taking Katchen out a.r.d lynching him.

The outbreak was rot unexpected, and the jail was heavily guarded. The provest guard in the city was also doubled and things are now quiet at midnight. It is believed that ihe prompt measures that were taken have prevented what promised to ba a very serlcus conflict. THOUGHT CULTURE HIS RUIN. Bashful Lover's iio»es Wrecked by a Trielt o»f His To£»j*-ue. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. He was a timorous, bashiul lover, who longed to propose to tho girl cf his choice, but lacked the courage necessary to do so. Finally, in abject despair, he confided tha growing sensa af unworthiness which po3 sessfd him to a woman friend, and asked for aid and advice. "I really do not feol good enough to ssk her to marry me," said he, "and I'm afraid she agrees with me." "That's because you haven't a proper ap preciation of your own intrinsic value as a child of the infinite," explained the friend, who was an ardent believer in thought cul ure. "You go to her tomorrow, after prop erly preparing youself, and it'll be all right. Just keep on repeating, 'I'm good and hand some, and fit for any girl to love and many,' all the way to hir house. Then, when the time comes for you to speak, you'll do it with an easy grace, and she"lf be so im pi«ssed with your opinion that she'll say 'yes' in a hurry." The bashful young man, whose position in regard to the thought power was similar to that of the girl who said that while eh" did not believe in ghosts she was deadly afraid of them, reasoned that while the "formula" might not do him or his eatile any good it could not do any herm, and resolved to try it. So the next day, arrayed in all the glory of his choicest clothing, bearing a bunch of flowers, he sallied forth, repeating the pre scribed assertion all the way to the beloved's front door Over and over again he said it, while waiting for her to appear, and— he said it once too often. "Good evening. I have called tonight. Miss , on an important errand. "'he intended to commence Impressively, but what he really said was this: "I am good and handsome and fit for any girl to love and marry." His ears heard his iip«s automatically utter the formula, his Intellect stood aghast, and hia heart sank, but he was helpless. The fateful words had tripped from his tongue be fore he realized it. The girl, her eyes blazing and her checks scarlet, heard him in amaze ment eve^n deeper than hia own. "O, Indeed, then ask some other girl to do it," was all the answer he rooeived, and she has met his every advance since that awful evening witih the chllMest scorn. The bashful young man has eschewed thought culture for good. Owns Half the World's Ships. Half the ships In the world are British.

Great Desert In Being; Gradually Turned Into Grazing: Grounds. From the Chicago Timc-a-Hera: J. The vast changes that have ten irade out on the great '"Striked Flair.s" the past six teea years are phenomenal. That large -x ranse of unbroken prairie derlveJ. its :ame from the Mexicans and Indians, v.-ho called it "Llano ESEtaredo" long before the advent of the Americans. The scarcity of waiter during the summer months rendered It a dangerous matt r to atttmpt to journey across them, and it is known that many caravans of M.xic3ns in the early days, making tr.Cfir way fr' in the Rio Grando river into Now Mexico, ! erished among their sandy, wastes. Kor many years after the country on every side had been in a measure settled up the plains were looked upon as a sjrt of for bidden region, the epitome of evertfaing that was inhospitable in nature, and totally use less for supplying any of the wants of man. Those advanturoU3 individuals who ven tured far into its dangerous d-pths report) d it a treeless, silent waste, without a sign of life, except the buzzards that circled high in the heavens, or the comets that hurried across the trail and disappeared like a flash among the sagebrush and tall grass that lined the banks of tb.9 dry orroyos. Hugo whirlwinr-3 would appear to block the way for a time, and then hurry off, ts if di^turjtd by the presence of men In those grim soli tudes. In the early mcrning wreath* of Just went spinning arounJ before the breeze, as if some desert s;-nds had arisen arid had just begun to envelop t^e great expanse. The last case known of any one porisMnp: on the plains was Jn 1890, when two Am r icrns aud one Mexican, a sheep heider, at tempted to make their way fro-n Fc\ >s City to Amarlllo, in midsumnur, and, fcerv.? po r ly provisioned with water and lo it.-g tha trail as well, soon died of thirsr. as wall as th.ir horses. A peculiar feature of ih a ace - dent was that, although the coyotes r.nd buz zard's had picked the bones of thfl Ameri cans clean, the body of the MeXfoan had bßked and dried in ihe sun and was prac tically Intact, owing to the fact that the diet cl the Mexicans on the border is always com posed in great part of chili and red pepper, substances apparently not appreciated by ei ther the buzzards or the coyot-3. Since that day no ether fatality that is known has oc curred on the plaiua. The progres?ive rancher and cattleman hu, year by year, encroached en this vr.st area, sinking wells, running wire- fences and rear ing a better breed of stock than la to be seen todny anywhere In Texas. Water is found at a depth of from 20 to 100 feet, and In abundance. The altitude of the "S;aked Plains" district insures the health of the stock the year around, and fever, anthrax or blackleg Is a?!dom heard of in that region. Such great cattle magnates as Col. Slaughter, of Fort Worth; C. 0. Goodnight, cf Midland, and many others of equal note are now heav ily interested in this oe*« fo:bidden t rri tory. Tax on Cyclists.

"A most singular freak of lightning oc curred on my farm and !n its v;clnlty one day in August," aa id William Arndt, of Van Wert couuty, Ohio. "A thunder storm had passed over the locality just before noon, and the clouds had nearly aJI broken avray or rolled off to the .southward. The suii ha.i come cut and all uneasiness over the storm had pas&cd when a terrific thunderclap, so close to tho earth that it trembled as II from an earthquake, broke from tho cloudless noonday sky. "I had a flock of forty sheep in a pasture a short distance from my farm house and they had huddled together under a big maple tree in tho field whi'.e the rain was falling. They were still there when the great thunder clap broke the stillness Succeeding tha strm Eighteen of the sheep were blark. I found that every one of them had been killed by the strange lightning, while not one of the other sheop was injured. Bach dead sheep hnd a round hole in the back of his neck around which the wool was burned aw.iy. The killing of the eighteen black sheep was the extent of the datrage done on my farm." WORK ON BiG TELESCOPE. M. (Jnulier mid the Giant Instru ment He Is Construetiiis". From La Nature. M. Gautier, the optician, is making good progress with the construction of the giant telescope intended *or the great exhibition at Paris in ItWO. %ho aperture will be 1.25 meter* (49.2 inches), and tho focal length 60 meters U&tj feet 10 inches), while the esti mated cost is 1,400,GC0 franca. An equatorial mounting and dome for such a gigantic Instrument may well be considered impracticable, and accordingly the telescope itself wiil be rigidly fixed in a horizontal po sition on supports of masonary, and will re ceive the Ugiit of the he\renly bodies aftcT reflection from a movable plane mirror 1 meters in diameter. The plane mirror is 13 inches thick, and weighs 3,600 kilograms, and It is curious that of twelve disks cast for the purpose the first one turmd out to be the best. This has been in process or grinding for seven months, and is not y^t finished. There will be two objwtive3. one photo graphic and one visual, which will be easily Interchangeable at will. It ia expected that a magnifying power of 6,04)0 will be usefully empJoyed. and that occasionally a power of 10,000 may bo used. As the highest power available in the largest existing tele-cope does not exceed 4,0t'0, the new instrument, if it be the success that every one wi!\ wlgli, should have a wide field of usefulness.
