TO INVADE THE STRIP.
Caldwell Man Tells What He Knows of the
Outlook

A member of the O'Connor-Dill COM
pany, of Caldwell has been in the city
since Sunday, and when asked yesterday
what his mission here was CURLY an
swered, That's nv business" and then
allowing big smile to chase across his
face said:
Il am here on private business and must
go home on this train"

your town begin to fear that the present
congress will not open the strip" sug-
gesttd an Eagle reporter.
Talk strip" to Caldwell man
and you find him in his ele-
ment. This one was no exception to
the rule and he launched forth in a talk
about the coveted land. He had hundreds
of reasons why it should be opened At
once He said everybody was in favor of
it and then would as quickly say there
were enemies to the scheme and would
take up their reasons one by one and
knock them to pieces with his argument
AS he went along. Among other things,
he said:
Il see that Jerry Simpson says that he
fears 1t will not be opened because OBJ
Jector Holman proposes to make the Dem
ocratic administration an economic one

people, AS the Democrats are always claim
ing they do, their leaders will find that TO
prevent the opening of the strip will be
the greatest bit of false economy they
ever practiced and it won't be very good
politics for them, either, I want to tell you.
Why the whole country is in an uproar
over this one question now.
DO you know that there are now ten
thousand people ready TO rush into that
strip? Yes sir, they are near the border,
and more are coming every day. What
will they do if it don't openS I'll tell you
what they will do. They will 90 in any

The people have been fooled and put off in
so many ways over the opening of public

there will be a thoroughly orgaaized

No, don't apprehend any trouble, but

either party can ignore such demand of
the people. You don't know anything
about the intense feeling there is in the
matter. It is all that is talked about down
our way. and, while the people are not

AGAINST WICHITA
The Rock Island Road Discriminates AGsins
Wichita In he Territory.

The railroads seem to have a special
no point on their lines for a distance Of
several hundred miles that gives them
more patronage.
Yesterday Mr.. Duncan OF Duncan, /. T.,
called and gave some points with reference
to the discrimination against the Peerless
Princess that certainly looks as if the
Rock Island railway was sworn enemy of
this city. He stated positively that the
Rock Island company in his section
of the country is discriminating against
Wichita in favor of the Texas towns not
ably Fort Worth.
From his story il seems that the Rock
Island company has advanced the jobbers'
rate from ii to sc cents from Wichita to
Duncan and proportiouately to all the
stations on their line of road south of
Chickasha in the Chickasaw nation thus
practically transferring or trying to trans
fer the trade of that country from Wichita
to Fort Worth. To prove that they have
done this it is stated that the rate las
not been changed from St. jos
Or any Of the Missouri river towss to sta
tions on that part of their line Mr.. Dun
can also states that the rates on other
classes of goods Lave been correspondingly
increased. He is quite indignant about it,
for he prefers to do business with Wichita
rather than with Fort Worth. An EAGLE
reporter called at the Rock Island general
freight office yesterday, where the state
ment of Mr., Duncan was contradicted.
Mr.. Duncan, however, claims that the in
rate went into effect
Dec 10 and that he can prove
it to the satisfaction of every
body who may care to inquire into the
matter. His statemement is corroborated
by one of the principal wholesalers here.
The matter ought to be investigated
by both the board of trade and
the Commercial club, in order to find out
the true attitude OF the Rock Island to-
ward Wichita.

the door and as he did so Mr. Bair sent the

The robber then crossed the street. went
through the premises of Miss Mullens
and disappeared in the dark alley il the
rear of the house. He made very we'll de-
fined shoe tracks in the snow, which will
be a good clue TO the police.
The robbery was contemplated for some
time aud no doubt was planned 20 take
place the previous night, at which time the
young man entered the store three times,
but each time there were customers there.
Mr.. Bair then suspected that the young
man bad some evil designs aud conse-
quently obtained pretty good description
of him.
The back of one of his hands was orna-
mented with a tattooed star. When Chief
Burrows heard of the matter he detailed
Officers Harmon and Reynolds to run the
thief down.
Nothing should be left undone to appre-
bend the vsgabond and bring him to jus

see that man could not be robbed with

Sweet little foreign flower rudy blown
BY strange fate upon Columbia's breast
Tiny melancholy, strange deep eyes attest,
That to thy helpless baby heart have flown,
The ancient griefs of ancestors unknown;
The bitter wrongs that other hearts opprest,
Plead in that look of patient, mute unrest;
For ere thy birth sorrow claimed thee ner
own,
Giving thy anxious prison colored little face,
That sad expectant. far-off, listening gaze.
lost hear the sea songs OF thy drear birth
place
Siberia? dost mind thee OF those days,
OF wan white faces, and of chain clank tread,
Within that graveyard Of the living dead?

ply of little 5-yesr-old Jewish infant who
with her mother was exiled from Russia.
and after many months OF physical suffer

The outside world will never know the full
measure of suffering and torture visited
upon the helpless subjects of the Russian

faithful Abraham.
