The hall was finely decorated with festoons of evergreen and banks of palms, and the banquet tables were ornamented by vases of cut flowers. On the wall at one end of the room hung a portrait of the poet, be neath which was a fine floral shield bearing the inscription, “‘Prince of Poets, 1750-1895." the guests had all assembled in the reception rooms the doors were opened and a picturesque scene followed The mem- bers of the clan, cach wearing a glenga cap with a top knot of eagle feathers, and a Scotch plaid, formed in line with their juvited guests, and followed the bagpipes in the march around the tables. Fully 200 sat down to partake of the feast, which smprised all the dainties known to the otch il of fare, from “Bubbley Jock, wi’ cranberry sauce,” down through the “hin leg o' Jock Tamson's 800," to ‘‘peat reck ir Campbelltown.” The best Glenliven “whisky toddy” was on land for those who wished to irrigate. After full justice had been uet, Toastmaster A. C. Graham on Rev. T. J. Mackay of Omaha to spond to the toast, “The Immortal Mem- ory of Robert Burns.” He spoke eloquently of the love which Burns felt for all man- kind, and the love which all mankind subsequently felt for him. The fact was that Burns always in love, If not with one, then with another, or several others, and this peculiarity of his disposition, which kept him busy writing sonnets to his various lady friends, is responsible for a large portion of his finest fancies. Ho was born in a storm, and his whole I'fe was a storm. He was inspired of God to write as he did, just as Shakespeare was in pired. "Jiles Lumbard of Omaha was called out and sang his well known Scotch song, “‘Are Ye Sleepin’, Maggie?’ in a way that elec- trified his audience. Dr. Mercer spoke on “The Land We Left" in a pleasing manner, and was followed by Colonel D. B. Dailey, who traced the history of the “'Scotch in America,” and showed how the Scoteh have occupied 'a prominent place in the history of the United States from its very birth as a nation, and particularly in the civil war on the side of freedom for the slave. Mrs. W. J erett sang Maid “of Dundee,” and was respond to an encore. One of the best speeches of the evening was that of John J. Frainey. After giving a short biographical sketch of Burns' life, he recited the well known poem, “Man Was Made to Mourn,” his efforts being marked throughout by a fine conception of the au- thor's idea, and bringing forth loud applause at_the close. Miss Margaret Short of Vail, Ia., followed him with a Scotch song, which was encored. Prot. H. W. Sawyer made the speech of his life on the subject, ““The Press.” Having been editor of a paper once he was prepared to speak feelingly of the trials as well as the triumphs of a newspaper man, and his speech was full of wit and humor. Will Young of St. Paul sang “There Was a Lad Was Born in Kyle,” and responded to an_encore. W. R. Stewart responded to the toast, “The Ladies,” in a poetic strain, and Mrs. A. B. Sweeting closed this part of the pro- gram by singing “Within a Mile of Edinboro Town.” For an encore she sang ‘‘Comin’ Thro' the Rye.” Then the tables were carried out and the floor prepared for dancing. A program of twenly numbers was given. Dalbey’s or- chestra furnishing the music. It was 1 o'clock before the grand march commenced, and it was as much as ever that the last ones to go reached home for breakfast. At 5 a. m. the orchestra was still in active eruption, just as active, 8o far as any one could see, as five hours before, As additions to the program Misses Bessie Beno and Marlon Benton executed a *“Topsy Danca” that was much enjoyed. The Beil sisters gave the Highland Fling, and Miss Mattie Harle a skirt dance, and both dances were gracefully glven and enthusiastically encored. At intervals during the evening Alex Campbell would appear on the scene with his bagplpe, accompanyng its monoto- nous drone with a stamping of the feet that nearly brought down the house in more than one way. It was thirty-six years ago Friday night that the first banquet was given in Council Blufts in honor of Bobble Burns. It was held in a little room on Upper Broadway, known then as Babbitt's hall, and the Cale- donian club was then at the helm. The strapping Scotch fellows, most of them who had charge of the ceremonies this year, had not yet appeared on the scene of action. No ladies were allowed around in those days and “Scotch whuskey” took the place alto- gether of the mild port wine and angelica that tickles the less vigorous palates of this generation. Captain McPherson, the father of J. R. McPherson, was toast master, and of all those present on that memorable occa- sion only three were on hand thirty-six years later—A. C. Graham, John T.

The poor crops of the past two years have set the farmers in this vicinity to thinking that it would be money in their pockets to adopt the plan now in use in some of the states farther west, and irrigat their farms. While there has never been an absolute crop failure, there have been drcuths severe enough to do much damage to the growing crops, and there is not a doubt but had some artificial means been at hand at the critical moment a vast amount of fruit might have been saved. Samuel Avery, who has a fruit farm three miles east of the city, already has an ir- rigation plant in operation which cost him a little less than $600. A ten-horse power engine is connected with 1,700 feet of three and one-half inch pipe. Water is pumped into a reservoir at the top of a hill, at the rate of 6,000 gallons per hour, and then allowed to trickle back over the land. The plant was put in last summer, in order to save a little five-acre patch of raspber- ries, and it did its work well that it is probable the owner will irrigate forty acres in the near future. A system of trenches conveys the water from Mosquito creek, underneath the Milwaukee and Rock Island railroad tracks, into the lower re volr, from which the water is pumped the "top of the hill. H. C. Graves & Son are putting in a plant which will have a capacity of about 12,000 gallons of water an hour, and will irrigate between fifty and sixty acres. The engine is the one formerly used in the paper mill Bartlett put in a plant last summer, using the engine that formerly supplied water for the Chautauqua grounds. It will pump 3,000 gallons an_hour. W. 8. Keeline is making preparations to o the same thing, and at least half a dozen more are said to be considering the ad- visability of the scheme. It is claimed that Mosquito creek, small as It is, furnishes more than enough water, even in its dryest season, to supply all the farmers living along its banks. The farmers are teking time by the forelock and geiting in such shape that they will be independent of ‘vhat the rain god gives them in the shape of weather. to BENNISON 8ROS, Monday's Special Bargains.

[ONE MORE ROAD FOR OMAHA Santa Fo Route Hae from 3 Eye oa-a Line Uttumwa, WORK LIKELY TO BEGIN IN THE SPRING All the Preliminary Arrangements Are in Progress and the Might of Way is Being Securgd—Rich Terri- tory to lie Tapped. OTTUMWA, Ta., Jan. 26.—(Special)—There seems to be all the chances for a new railroad for Ottumwa and territory between it and Omaha that it is ever possible to bank upon when a railway corporation Is connected with the scheme. Your correspondent has this from the most reliable of sources—one of the directors htmself—and all preparations which are being made and talks with farmers along the proposed route about the right of way verify his shoulder-shrugged statement. The Chicago, Fort Madison & Des Molnes rail way is under the control of the Santa Fe which is a branch line running from Fort Madison to Ottum A natural route for the new trunk line is up the divide from Bast Ottumwa to Kirkville, Cedar and Oskaloosa and thence out west to Omaha, over a country where the expense of buflding a railroad would be rendered comparatively light by th many natural advantages, and where a rai line 1d tap and re h country not yet traversed by a trunk line. Such a route was at one time projected by tho lowa Central and quite a little preliminary work was don on the project, but after a time the matter was dropped, and it has been the bellef ever since by railroad people that the Burlington ompany interfered and shut off the intention of the Central. Then there are reasons to belleve that if the Santa Fe does not hold the Fort Madison it may fall into the hands of the Baltimore & Ohio company, which cor poration is sceking through lines to the Mis sourl river and already operates as far west s Peroria. The road that follows this route and taps Fort Madison, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa, Knoxville, Winterset and on to Omaha will be in a position to maintain a large and grow- ing from these towns, all from 5,000 inhabitants, aside from its through business. E. H. Skinner of Birming ham is a director of this road, and he is re- sponsible for the statement that work on this new line will begin, in all probability, in the spring. The Fort’ Madison company has placed an order, it is understood, with an eastern con- cern for several new engines and a number of new box cars, and it is known that there are emissarles at work among the farmers over the proposed route, sounding them on the value of their land, which, it is presumed, will be required by the right of way. An- other proposed route is to build from Of- tumwa to Albia, where there is an abandoned line belonging to the Wabash between Albia and Des Moines, and “of which, it is under- stood, the Santa Fe people are negotiatin the purchase. This would be more of a loca value, as it would tap a“strata of coal of ex- cellent quality, runaing from five to ten feet in_thickness, and the building of a railway through that sectign would ~develop — thesc mines. —_— DESTITUTE CONDITION OF MINERS. Much Suffering in lowiwas the Resalt of No Work and a Blizzard. OTTUMWA, Ta, Jan. 26.—(Special)—The storm which raged yesterday has brought before the people of this city and community a question whose solution is a hard one. It is nothing more than the serious aspect placed by the real winter, which is here, upon the condition of the miners and their families who have been employed in the mines of the country adjacent of which this is the center.” There 1€ an ‘Over production of coal in all Towa; there would be an over- production of coal had not the winter been so mild as to make the consumption much less than In previous years, but with the mild winter, the passiveness in railroad cir- cles, and dull business In all manufacturing institutions, this overproduction is made more fearfully prominent. There are at least 2500 or 3,000 miners within a radius of thirty-five miles of Ottumwa; there has been work for only about half of this number in the mines and for only about four days out of the week for this half this season. This has made much suffering, but the mild win- ter has been in their favor, and until the blizzard of yesterday came they have been getting along fairly well. At Cincinnati, Ia., the condition of the miners is a sample of the condition elsewhere. There operators have laid down with the load they have been carrying and refuse to move. Operators have lost money the last year. The mar- ket 1s below the lowest notch and they are forced out and everything is at a standstill. The miners argue that a reduction in wages will not better the prospects any and they will not accept such a reduction. In the meantime their families suffer for food and clothing and the people are beginning to find out that they have destitute among them who are equally as needy and equally as deserving as the Nebraska sufferers, CRUSHED UNDER HIS LOCOMOTIVE, Veteran Burlington Engineer Meots Frightful Death at Paclfic Junction. PACIFIC JUNCTION, Ia, Jan. 26— (Special Telegram.)—A terrible fatality oc- curred in the Burlington yards at this point this afternoon. Engineer Sam Burns was crushed to death beneath his engine. Burns handled the switch engine and when the fast mail started for Council Bluffs thirty minutes late the switch engine pushed it out of the yards for a start. When he uncoupled En- gineer Burns reversed his engine and put on the air brakes, Some of the brake gear- ing came unfastened and before the locomo- tive completely stopped Burns jumped out of the cab, He then crawled under the ten- der to fix the brake rod when the engine started again. He was dragged beneath the tank and crushed to death. The company physician sewed up the wounds and the body was conveyed to his home, where the coroner's jury will view it. Burns was over 50 years old and had been with the Burling- ton at this point six years. He leaves a widow and one son. He was a member of the Burlington Voluntary Rellef department. Towa Man Was Not Chosen, One of the possibilities for election to the senate from Minnesota was Frank H. Peavey, a former Sioug Citizen, Now that the fight, }s over and Governor Nelson s safely elected to the senate, some interesting history, ‘of' the contest may be told. " The original fight' Between Washburn and Nelson was soon Tesdlved into a case of anything to beat ‘Nélgon, for it early be- came apparent that, YWashburn could not be elected, and that _the only hope of de- feating Nelson was 40 find a candidate who could break intg the Nelson strength The anti-Nelson’ people were determined to beat their opponent &t any cost if they could, One of the men seonsidered as a possible candidate to defeat Nelson was Frank H Peavey. He was only one of a number, but he was discussed Aoy’ seriously, and if the situation had been .sugh as to bring about a long siege of ballotng, it is very likely he would have developed into a strong can- didate. But the Nelson forces were too strong, and the cholce made too early. Of the eftorts of the Washburn people the Ploneer Press says “All day long and far into the night they were engaged In conference after confer- ence, endeavoring to patch up some com- bination which would defeat him. They tried to turn their forces over to Com- stock, but they could not deliver the goods They proposed to make Frank H. Peavey the residuary legatee of Washburn's wan ing strength, but Mr. Peavey declined with thanks, and with the remark that it was too late.” Debs Solicitous for His Union, Eugene V. Debs sent a letter from his Illinois jail urging the reorganization of the American Railway union lodge in Dubuque The letter came from Woodstock, Ill., and was addressed to a member of the order in Dubuque. Debs added that he intended to devote his life to the work of making the American Rallway union an effective or- ganization for the betterment of the condition of railrond employes of all classes The lodge at Dubuque was neyer formally dissolved, but after the strike it languished as many deserted it after getting thelr jobs back and many left town to seek employment elsewhere. The number of unemployed rail- road men remalning In the city was not sufficient to make the lodge effective and no meetings have been held since the height of the strike. Tt is now proposed to reorganize and to embrace in the organization all rail rond men employed or unemployed who didn’t g back on the boys.'

The school ad- vantages are away above the average, and cial advantages are excellent, and the sur- rounding country is rich. No saloons, but the drug stores will, in cases of very, very severe iliness, sell a little “budge.” There is considerable complaint on account of burglarics and attempted burglaries of late. Two offenders were bound over to the district court this week for breaking into a store and stealing a lot of pocket knives, ete, Lucas county is the Blue Grass county of the Blue Grass district of Towa, and Chariton is the place to find the best blooded horses in this famed region. Nebraska people d siring to purchase good horses would do well to correspond with Chariton horsemen, among whom may be mentioned J. D. Hardin, D). Q. Storie and J. F. Spiker. Among other things Chariton is proud of its musical talent.

Davenport was surprised to read in the newspapers that Edwin 0. Quigley had been convicted for forgery. He was sentenced in New York last Friday to fifteen years and six months imprisonment for forging municipal bonds. His record in Davenport was one which endeared him to Davenport people. He did a good turn for the town when the town needed it. The firm of Quigley & Tuttle, In the summer of 1893, sold $90,000 of an issue of Davenport improvement bonds, after the bonds of much larger cities had gone beg- ging for buyers and had found none for some time. It was in the beginning of the financial depression that dropped down still heavier a few weeks afterward. Quigley & Tuttle printed a $100,000 issue and sold $90,000 of the bonds, while $10,000 were sold by White & Co. Bvidently in looking up Quigley’s record the New York police stumbled on to the fact of the bonds being printed there, and telegrams were sent to Davenport, asking if the issue was genuine. Mayor Vollmer replied that it was, if street improvement bonds 260-359, dated July 1, 1893, were referred to. It was at the beginning of Vollmer's administration as mayor that the substantial service in the shape of a §$90,000 remittance came to the city, President St. John of the Mercantile Na- tional bank of New York says: “Our bank has none of the Davenport bonds in its possession taken from Quigley, but as a matter of news that the public is entitled to know I will tell that he has cir- culated a number of spurious bonds of that city. This bank has left the handling of the Quigley forgeries to Mr. Lathrop, our counsel. We are now devoting our time to the affalss of the banl Before his sentence, Quigley was visited by a reporter and questioned ~concerning the storles charging him with leading a double life, that he gambled for large stakes. ““As a favor to me, said he, “please say that these reports are urkind and untrue. The only basis for such report Is the fact that a few friends and I, neighbors of mine in Orange, met regularly every week at a poker party. My wife knew this. I was leading no double life. We played only for small stakes to make the game interesting. In the cour of the year no member of the party would lose more than $50.” Gave an Omaha Address.

He represented himsell to be a commercial traveler and said he had two trunks at the depot but he was not certain whether he would open them or not. He wanted to know if a sample room would be reserved for him for half an hour until he went out and interviewed prosp customers. He was shadowed by who followed him to the saloon in First street.

Condition of Towa Natlonal Eanks Towa National banks show an improved condition for the last quarter of the year. The abstract of the reports showing their condition on December 19 last, which was glven out by the comptroller of the currency, show the reserve at that date was 31.14 per cent, a decrease of nearly 5 per cent. This indicates that the banks are not holding on to thelr money with such a tight hand and that they are more liberal to their eustom- ers, The last report shows that sources amounted to $50,870 of thi amount the loans and discounts were §32,- 05; cash in reserve banks on I 104,311, Individual deposits were average reserve held, 26,52 per cent, On Oc- tober 2 the total resources amounted (o $51,886,098; loans and discounts, $31,820,780; lawful ‘money reserve, $8,770,477.
