Women as Station Agents

The railroad and the express companies
are having little "mlx' over women
agents. On number of indianapolis
lines at some of the smaller stations there
are women in charge. At small stations
the agents are generally the agents for the
express company. But the express COM
panies refuse to allow women to
serve. for them, and have outsiders
attend to the express business. This
the railroad men say, often COM
plicates matters. The express companies
give as reason for this that women are
more liable to be injured than men from
plea of the railroads that the agents are
the agents of the railroad, and they would
be responsible, instead of the express COM
panies, does not count. An express mes
senger who was spoken to on the subject,
gave the ingenious reason that the COM
pany feared an express robber could secure
information more easily from woman
than from man.-Indianapolis News.

The following story is told as illustrative
of the business shrewdness of Tom Aller-
ton, the millionaire pork packer of Chi
cago: A certain man owed him $1,000. Al
lerton went to him and asked if he would
pay the debt. "Certainly," he said, and
forthwith drew his check for the amount.
This was done so readily that Allerton,
knowing the man we'll, was very suspi-
cious. He went to the bank asked the
money the man had on deposit, and was
told that the balance was $500. Realizing
that if he presented the check for $1,000 it
" would be returned marked mo good,, Al
lerton took 5000 from his pocket, depos-
tied it to the account OF the debtor. then

A LIVELY FIRE.
1t Wakes up the Town and Threatens Great
Destruction. but is Fortunately Con-
trolled After Comparatively
Little Loss.

Just at ten o'clock on Thursday
evening of last week fire burst out,
apparently all at snce, from all parts
of the of Kreute & Krueger's barn, in
the rear of their meat market. Bert
Miller, Harry Grubbs and one or two
etherboys were the first to give the
alarm and reach the place. They sue
ceeded in getting the horses out of the
barn. Randolph Washington ran in
and got out the saddle, but by this
time the fire had got so hot that moth
irg else could be taken from the barn.
The crowd that had gathered could,
of course, do nothing to save the barn,
or the shed and corn crib that ad-
joined it, but they secured buckets
and put in the time to good advantage
throwing water upon the roofs of the
adjacent wooden buildings. Forum
ately the wind, which had been blow
ing a gale all day, had almost ceased,
otherwise the two wooden buildings
occupied by Ling's lunch room and
Gillihan's barber shop would certain
ly have been consumed, if indeed the
entire block had not been Quilted. AS
it was the fire was confined with COM
paratively little effort to the barn,
shed and corn crib.

The barn belonged to G. w. Apple.
1t cost perhaps $50 or 5000, and was
insured for 500.
The contents of the barn and crib
about tons of hay, set double har-
ness, spring wagon, $50 bushels of
oats and about 400 bushels of corn
belonged to Kreuter and Kreuger and
were insured in the total sum of $2O4,
which will fall perhaps $50 to SIS
short of covering the loss.
The origin of the fire can only be
conjectured. 1t started in the hay
loft, and the probabilities are that
some tramp had gone up there to sleep
and struck match, either to get his
bearings or to light a pipe.
Considering the location of the fire
and what might have happened,
everybody feels as if we had made a
fortunate escape.
