MORNING STAR SIGNALS.
Train Crews on the Rock Island Have 3
Novel Experience.

Train Crews on the Rock Island Have 3
Novel Experience.
Several train crews on the east end
have lately had a fright that caused
their bair to stiffen and stand on end
like that described by Hamlet's faith.
er's ghost. While making up lost time
on the down stretch between Goodland
and PhilIipsburg the other morning,
just before dawn, the crew on a fast
extra observed red light on the track
that appeared to be about 10 train
lengths ahead, and the engineer pulled
the vacuum brake, whistled for hand
brakes, reversed the engine and got
both feet out the window, about the
same time the fireman had selected a
good place to fall off on. The train
finally stopped and the signal light,
like an ignis fatuus, still appeared to
be about 10 train lengths ahead. The
head shack ''Trilbied" ahead for several
hundred yards, and the signal light
still kept the regular 10 train lengths
ahead. More than mystifed the crew
concluded to pull on slowly until some
thing could be found ont, which they
did, and, with the coming of daylight,
found the supposed signal to be the
morning star. The story leaked out
somehow, and in the strictest conf
dence other crews confessed to the
same experience, which is responsible
for the latest orders to train crews to
run by all morning star signals"

MISUNDERSTANDING THE CASE.
Jones and ThOrson Were Afraid Of the
Records.


Records,
Last Saturday little Jonesy and
Thorson, Republican candidate for
treasurer and Democratic candidate
for sheriff, respectfully, we're reciting
the fake published in The News to a
very uneredulons assembly.
APopulist spoke up and remarked
that THE REPUBLIC had exposed the
falseness of the alleged tax-warrant
favoritism.
The two astute politicians chorused:
ID The REPUBLIC, we can prove it
by Murphy"
This authority was not in town and
the two worthless knew it.
Tom Barlow was then mentioned by
little JOnesy, but he, too, was not &C
ceptable to the crowd, who wanted to
get at the facts, and would take no
partisan authority.
Finally one stalwart Republican
from the northeast suggested that the
best testimony could be found in the
clerk of the courts Office, and as TIE
REPUBLIC had referred to the records to
prove its assertions, the best way to de-
eide the question was to go down to
the Office and look over the books and
papers on file.
This met with no approval from the
candidates who knew that they we're
on dangerous ground, and they tried to
turn the conversation into less peril
GUS channels, but the majority of the
crowd made a trip to the courthouse,
and satisfied themselves that The Re-
PUBLIC was correct in everything and
that The News and the two Off1ce-seek-
ers had wandered from the straight
and narrow path of truth.
