All efforts at compromise have so far failed, but an attempt is now being made by Mr. E. S. Elisworth, of Towa Falls, one of the can- didates, which may prove successful. Ha has offered to submit tho controversy to the exceutive confiittee of the republican stato central committee, or to the following well hnown_republicans, Senator Allison, Gov- ernor Larrabee, Congressman Henderson, ex-Congressman Wilson, of Tama county, and Chairman Prav, of the state central committee, for them to decide which is the tful candidate, and the other to with- draw from the field.

[--The funds for the construction of the second section of the Pacific Short Line, from Plainview to O’Neill, Neb., have been secured and the work is now. being prose- cuted. The tracking of the section alrcady graded and bridged, from Covington to Plainview, is now just beginning. The real cause of the two months’ delay has been the death of the late Samuel L. M. Barlow, the milliofaire lawyer of New York, who was not only bhimssif a heavy subscriber to tho Paaific Short Line, but also represeuted a wealthy syndicate of New Yark and German capitalists. He died after an illnoss of only twenty-four hours, and the very day ot his death bad been appoiated for the formal transfer of cash to complete arrangements for the construction of the second section of theroad. So slowly do such matters move in New York that it is only just now that all the formulities, disjointed by Mr. Bariow's death,have been completed. It has been only an ageravatiog delay, not a disruption of the plans of the syndicate back of the scheme, which has not relaxed its purposo to build through to Ogdea, but which could not be nurried along to Keep pace with the western way of doing things.

New York doesn’t'take much stock in Booth, writes Joe Howard. Not that Booth hasn’t a certain grade of ability,but he is so infernally lazy and careless that people are very tired. A fifty-six-vear-old Hamlet is not particu- larly attractive. and a grand-maternal Ophelia or Desdemona or Rosalind can- not be expected, in. face or figure, to duplicate the picture of the imagina- tion. Nevertheless there is magic in the name of Booth. Very old timers remember the great Booth, and as they look at his performances through the telescope of memory his virtues are wagnified, while his shortcomings are forgotten. Then, too, as Jay Gould said the other day in interview, as the mere mentioning of aname day after day, day after day, is the making of the man who wears it, it will be remembered that, after the praises of the elder Booth were sung, came the denunciatory curses of Booth the assassin, and—strange as il may seem to people who don’t look beneath the surface, but commonplace and act- ual as it must seem to any careful reader of affairs—the reiteration of the name, even in that coanection, made it still more familiar and still more potent as an advertising attraction. Then, too, Junius Bratus Booth, the husband ot Agnes Booth, was a factor up to a cer- tain line, and the magic of the Booth name so far as Agnes Booth cerned will never be denied by mivers in the eastand in the west, or in the metropolis itself. e Ida May Wilcox Married.
