GREENFIELD needs a standard guage road from Fountaintown to Maxwell. This would be the best investment our city could make. It would give us much lower freight rates both east and west and north and south. Let our Board of Trade agitate a cros3 railroad if it is only a dozen miles long, it would be a starter and would eveutuallybe extended further.

't A Sudden Death. Anna, the 16 year old daughter of Nathan Thomas, died suddenly at their home in the south part of the city at 2 a. m. today. She has been working at 8.

G. White's for several months, and as usual went home last night in good health. She was also up town until 9 o'clock.

At one o'clock her mother was aroused by her baby falling out of bed. Hearing Anna's labored breathing she went in the other room and found her frothing at the mouth and unconscious. She died about an hour later. On account of the suddenness of the death, the coroner, J. H. Justice, held an inquest today and found that death was caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the lungs. Funeral at 2 p. m. tomorrow.

IN speaking of the: business outlook the big Eastern papers and metropolitan papers in the West are saying that the 'prospects are bright. The St. Louis

Globe-Democrat says: The most significant amoDg recent developments in tho busine.' situation is the growth in the movement of money from the financial centers to the interior This is largely in response to the increased demands of the industries and of the distribution agencies in the fall trade. Much money, too, will now be needed in "moving the crops." The crops being larger in the aggragate this year than ever before, although prices, of course, are comparatively low, the amount of currency required to transfer them from the farmers' hands to the chief distributing centers will be great. Happily the banks are well provided to meet all needs in this direction, and rates on that ac iunfc are not likely to be forced above the average level of the past eight or tea months.

There has been an excellsnt cotton crop, a fair yield of wheat aud an unprecedented yield of corn. These crops are raised in the South, the Central, Northern and Western States, and have been for lo these many years, in addition to all these, tho cattle, the horse*, the sheep, the hogs and in fact, about all farm products and stock are produced in the above mentioned States, and .vat these producers year after year have to go the the money centers to secure currency to move their products. Where are these money centers?—a'l—all iu New York, Pennsylvania and New England. In addition to being the greatest agricultural and stock section of the country, the Central, Southern and Western Slates are the richest in mines and lumber, and yet the owners go East to the money centers to secure money upon wliioh to operate. It is hard for lis to understand how it is that the sections of his country that do ail the producing are compelled to go to bleak aud sterile New England for money. Is there no profit in raising corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, hay, hogs, cattle, horses, iu lumber, in mining gold, silver, coal, aud salt? or does some one besides the worker or producer get the profit? We think the latter proposition is the correct one. The Eastern money centers have been aided in reapiug all the profits by the extravagant borrowing habit of the people ot* the West, who were willing

give any rata of interest and a big bonus for making the lo.ui, just so they could secure the money. After the Eastern people secured their mortgages, bonds aud stocks, all drawing interest, they were instrumental in securing legislation which has forced down the price of the products of labor, tho v.slua of stock and farm lands, but increased the value of ali their money and its equivalent tbe notes, bonds, mortgages, stocks, etc. The people of the West have the remedy within themselves. Siuipiy change clidr style of doing business, follow the example of the people who have succeeded along the other lines where you have failed. It will take wrae self denial, aid may possibly be inconvenient, but we of the West have all the natural advantages -why not avail ourselves of thorn, and prosper more abundantly?

Her of Melos—though her waist Would drive any woman crazy If she couldn't have it laced.

Such preposterous proportions May do well enough in art, But you really can't imagine

Venus ever looking "smart."

Any French modiste will tell you That she never could be chic With that waist. I vow 'tis nearly.

If not quite, a half yard thick.

Oh, of course she "goes" in marble, But she'd hardly be a belle In a '30 gown. You'd never

Think her "swagger" now nor "swell."

A la mode she'i be a monster, Would the goddess, and it grieves Fin de sieclo souls to fancy

What she'd look like in big sleeves.

Be the first to criticise.

THE COST Of1 A TRAIN

At the time when the first open court of law was established in Russia a lady, dressed with the utmost elegance, was walking on the Moscow promenade, leaning upon her husband's arm and letting the long train of her rich dress sweep the dirt of the street.

A young officer, coming hastily firm a side street, was so careless as to catch one of his spurs in the lady's train, ai-d in an instant a great piece was torn out of the costly but frail material of the dress. "I beg a thousand pardons, ma dame,'' said tho officer, witli a polite bow, and then was about passing on when ho was detained by the lady's husband. "You have insulted my wife." '"Nothing was farther from my intention, sir. Your wife's long dress is to blamo for the accident, which I sincerely regret, and I beg you once more to receive my apologies for any carelessness on my part." Thereupon he ttempted to hasten on. "You shall not escape so," said the lady. "Today is the first time I have worn this dress, and it cost 200 rubles, which you must make good. "My dear madame, I beg you not to detain me. I am obliged to go on duly at once. As to tho 200 rubles, I really cannot help the length of your dress, yet I beg your pardon for not having been more cautious. "You shall not stir, sir. That you are obliged to go on duty is nothing to us. My wife is right. Tho dress must a I

The ©nicer's face grew pale. "You force mo to break through the rules of the service, and I shall receive punishment."

Pay the POO rubles, and you are free.'' The quickly changing color in tho young man's face betrayed how inwardly disturbed he was, but stepping close up to them both he said, with apparent seif command: "You will renounce your claim when I tell you that I am a poor man,' who has nothing to live on but his officer's pay, and the amount of that pay hardly reaches the sum of 200 rubles in a whole year. I can tj^reforo make no amends for the misfortune except by

After waiting some time the lady had leave to bring her complaint. "What have you to answer to this?" said the judge, turning to the officer, who seemed embarrassed and half in despair. "On the whole very little. As the lateness of the hour and being required on duty compelled me to hurry I did not notice this lady's train, which was dragging on the ground. I caught one of my spurs in it aud had the misfortune to tear her dress. Madame would not receive my excuses, but perhaps now she might find herself more disposed to forgiven ess when I again declare that I committed this awkward blunder without any mischievous intention, and I earnestly beg that she will pardon me.''

A murmur ran through the gallery, evidently from the people taking sides with the defendant, and against long trains in general and this lady in particular. I

The judge called to order and asked, "Are you satisfied with the defendant's explanations?" "Not at all satisfied. I demand 200 rubles for my torn dress. "Defendant, will you pay this sum?" "I would have paid it long before this had I been in a position to do so. Unfortunately I am poor. My pay as an officer is all that I have to live on." "You hear, complainant, that the defendarrt is not able to pay the sum you demand of him. Do you still wish the -, complaint to stand?" "I wish it to stand. The law shall give me my rights."

There ran through the rows of people a murmur of indignation that sounded like a rushing of water. "Consider', complainant, the consequenee of your demand. The defendant 3&n be punished only through being deis so a be

again begging your ]wdc-n. "Oh. anybody could say all that, but we'll see if it's true. We'll find out if you have nothing but your pay. I declare myself not satisfied with your excuses, and I demand my money,'' persisted the lady in the hard voice of a thoroughly unfeeling woman. "That is true-—you are right," the) husband added.- dutifully supporting her. "By good luck wo have the open court now in session. Go with us before the judge, and he will decide the matter." g:

All protestations on the officer's part

that he was poor, was expected on duty, aud so forth, did not help matters. To avoid an open scene he went with them to the courtroom, where tho gallery was densely packed with a crowd of people.

fat pin obtain nq satisfaction.

while to the defendant: «it might prove the greatest injury in his rank and position as an officer who is poor and dependent upon his pay. Do you still insist upon your complaint?". "I

still insist upon it." The course the affair was taking seemed to have become painful to the lady's husband. He spoke with his wife urgently, but without effect. The judge was going on to further consideration of the case, when a loud voice was heard from the audience: "I will place the 200 rubles at the service of the defendant!"

During the silence which followed a gentleman forced his way through the crowd and placed himself at the young officer's side. "Sir, I am the Prince W and beg you will accept the loan of the 200 rubles in question." "Prince, I am not worthy of your kindness, for I don't know if I shall ever bo able to pay the loan," answered tho officer in a voice tremulous with emotion. "Take the money at all events. I can wait until you are able to return it." Thereupon the prince holdout two notes of 100 rubles each, and coming close to him whispered a few words very softly. There was a sudden lighting up in the officer's face. He immediately took the two notes, and turning to the lady handed them to her with a polite bow. "I hope, madame, you are satisfied.

With a malicious smile she reached out her hand for the money. "Yes. Now I am satisfied."

With a scornful glance over tho crowd of spectators she prepared to leave the room on her husband's arm.

Stop, madame," said the officer, who had suddenly become like another man. "What do you want?" said the lady, casting a look upon him as insulting as possible. I "I want my dress," ho answered, I with a slight but still perfectly polite bow. "(vivo mo your address and I will send it to yon. "Oh, no, my dear madame, I am in tho habit, of taking my purchases with me at once. Favor mo with the dress immediately."

A shout of approbation camo from the gallery. "Order!" cried tho judge. "What an insane demand!" said the lady's husband. "My wife caraot undress herself hero. "I have nothing to do with you iu this matter, sir, but only with the complainant. Bo so good r.s to give me the dress immediately, madame. My affairs are urgen t.'' .-•• Tho pleasure of tho andieneo at the expense of the lady increased with every word. "Do not jest any move about it. I

I demand from tho law my own said the ofiicer,

The judge, thus appealed to, decided prom: cly. "The officer is right, madame. You arc obliged io hand him over the dress on the spot. "I can't undress myself5 here before ali these people and go home without any dress on," said the young woman, with anger and tears. "You should have thought of that sooner. Now yon have no time to lose. Either give up the dress of your own accord, or"—

A nod that could not be misinterpreted brought to the lady's side two officers of justice who seemed about to take upon themselves the office of mv lady's maid. "Take your money back and leave me my dress!" "Oh, no, madame! That dress is now, worth more than 200 rubles to me. "How much do you ask for it?" "Two thousand rubles," said the officer firmly. "I will pay the sum," the weeping lady's husband responded promptly. "I

have here 500 rubles. Give me a pen

and paper, and I will write an order upon my banker for the remaining 1,500."

After he had written the draft the worthy pair withdrew amid hisses from tho audience.—From the French.

Swiss Swords, Spaiiisli Pikes. The prowess of tho Swiss infantry is generally dated back to Morgarten (1315) or forward to Sempach (153 8 G), but in reality it can bo traced to a generation or two, some say a century aud a half, before the former action. Be that as it may, Morgarten first announced the fame of the Swiss to Europe. Sempach raised it still higher, aud finally the three terrible defeats of Charles the Bold at Granson, Morat and Nancy (1470-77) established it forever.

From that time tho Swiss became the model of Europe. The German landsknechts adopted their weapons and tactics, and even for a time their name, while crafty little Louis XI took 6,000 of them into his pay and set them to teach his Frenchmen their work, for all Europe required to learn true soldiership, to obey orders and, above all, to preserve formation, which h?ls been the secret of the Swiss victories. Before the fifteenth century was passed came Charles VIII's celebrated expedition to Italy and his entry into Rome, wherein the carriage and order of his Swiss mercenaries were the amazement of all beholders.

It was the French interference with Italian affairs that spread the new discipline abroad, for among the opponents of the most Christian king was a man of genius, the general of Ferdinand of Aragon, Gonsalvo of Cordova, known over all Europe as the Great Captain. He, when the campaign was ended, in 1498, took the remodeling of the Spanish forces in hand and laid the foundation of the famous teroios that were soon to supplant the Swiss companies as the pattern for European infantry.
