Cured by an Accident.

A Washington avenue hotel-keeper
tells a curious story of how he got rid
of an ailment by an accident. About
FIVE years ago he fell through trap
door in Higginsville store, and.
being a heavily built man, was quite
badly hurt. When, after being con-
fined TO the house for several weeks,
ne got around again, he discovered
that he could scarcely open his mouth.
his jaws having become stiffened.
Thinking that after a time his java
would relax, he did not consult a
doctor and said nothing about his
trouble. They did not resume their
natural condition. and as he became
accustomed to eating soup and
munching his food he concluded to let
matters stand as they were. When the
Sleight fire occurred, a couple of weeks
ago, among those who came 10 witness

and, as the water from the hose came

He slipped arsd fell to the sidewalk,
and as he struck there was swapping
of something in his jaw as If a bone
had broken. He got up, and as he an
swered an inquiry from bystander as
TO whether he was injured, was agree

The ootes NATURALIZATION Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.--The Oates sub
committee on naturalization to-day reported
to the judiciary committee of the house a bill
which it has prepared in lieu of all others,
amcndatory of the naturalization laws. The
provisions of the bill, the committee stated,
are a requirement that an alien must reside
five years in the United States before he can
become a citizen; that at the expiration of
that time he must appear in court and prove
his residence, good moral character, and fit
ness for citizenship. In case of the United
States court, notice of his intention must be
served upon the representative OF the United
States, and likewise in the case of state court
the representative of the state government
must be notified and attend the hearing.
The present requirement of a declaration of
intention to become citizens is dispensed
with. The bill was ordered printed and will
be discussed at next Saturdays session. The
views expressed this morning appeared to in
dictate a favorable disposition of the bill.

The Emin Relief Expeditjon.

BERLIN, Jan. 22,-[Special Cablegram to
Tile BEE. 1.-THE Emin relief committee
meets tomorrow to finally decide upon a
plan for the expedition. The route proposed
by Captain WIssmann is regarded as the
best, as the expedition, by proceeding along
the left bank of the Fana, which forms the
northern boundary OF the British sphere of
influence, avoids encroaching upon British
territory. A section of the committee, hold
ing that the expedition has English sympa-
thy, if not English cash, to support it, advo-
Gates starting from Mombosa, whence 1t was
intended to dispatch British relief
for Wadelai. Probably the committee
will decide to leave the ultimate
selection Of the route to the leaders
after reaching Zanzibar. Captain Wissmann
will start next Monday with twenty officers.
He will organize a local force at Zanzibar,
the first duty of which will be to occupy the
main outlets to the coast. The colonial So
cicty will give the adventurers a farewell
''commcrs' on Friday.
Sculptor Otto Buchtlng has produced a
grand bust of Captain Wissman. The latter
before departing will present his comrades
to Prince Bismarck and the emperor.

The Color Line.

NEBRASKA Cry, Neb., Jan. 22.-[Special
to The BEE.l-The color line agitated by
the colorcd citizens in regard to school
affairs has been taken INTO court. Some
time since several colored children attending
the Greggsport school became so unruly that
the teacher could not control them. The
matter was laid before the school board, who
investigated the affair and found that the
children, Annie and Cain Martin, besides
being a decided nuisance, really were at
tending school outside of their ward, and
they were consequently transferred to a
colored school near their home, with a hope
that it would mend matters. The colored
people became incensed and declared
the action was taken on account of color.
This the board emphatically denied, and said
any white child would nave been treated the
same under similar circumstances. To-day a
copy of a petition asking n writ of mandamus
of the state supreme court was served on
the school board. The writ declares that
the board has established an exclusive col
ored school (Which is false), which school
the relatives want abolished, and all ~restric-
tions taken from other children that did not
also apply to their children. The board is
declared a set of moral towards and partisan
in their actions. The partisan charge is
amusing, considering that four of the SIX
MEMBERS are republicans. Watson and Sco-
field are attorneys for the colored people.
The case will be heard tomorrow.

FORCING THE MILLENNIUM.
The Contemplated Presidents Agree
mcnt Too Ideal.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-tSpecial Telegram to
TuE BEE. There is almost a perfect unani
nifty of opinion on the part Of Chicago pas
senger and freight officials, that the presi-
dents agreement, even If made, will fail Of
its object. 'Its too near the millennium of
the railroad business, or rather 1t
wilt try to force the milleni-
um," said one of hem to-day.
Railroad men are as prone to evil as ordi-
nary people, and YOU can go a whole day
among them without finding one sprouting a
pair Of wings. This agreement contemplates
perfect honor, perfect Justice, perfect candor
and perfect fair dealing on the part of all
railroad officials. II goes even further and
contemplates hat every railroad man
shall apply the working of the
golden rule to every other railroad
Now, that is simply rot. Railroads will keep
right on h~ustling for business in spite of the
agreement. If one road hustles a little
harder it will get more business and the
other roads will accuse it of cutting rates.
Then they will themselves cut rates to get
back their business, and there you are. The
agreement is broken and another rate war
will be the order of the days. | don't like to
condemn a thing before it is put in operation,
