for their first movement was to break
into Collisions room, bind him hand

down the stairway and forced an en-.

time in opening the outer chamber of
the safe, where the money was found.

Telephone Taken Out.

The telephone at the l.. f.. X W. was
removed saturday. This instrument
was installed as a gratuity to the rail
road company by the former manage
ment OF the telephone company at
time when several other Instruments
were temporarily placed in the same
manner to prove the utility of the tele-
phone exchange. But with this one
exception all dead head Instruments
have removed some time since.
Since the installation of the instru-
ment the railroad company has stead
fastly refused TO permit it To remain
except as dead head instrument. Since
it appears that the l.. +. X w is not
wiling To pay anything for the accom-
notation OF the puOiic III this matter
the telephone management has taken
the only consistent business course open
to it and removed the telephone.
The telephone is one of the most
valuable adjuncts to business and there
is no reason why any business house or
corporation should expect to enjoy its
benefits for nothing. The pennsyl-
yania offices use and pay for two instru
ments and the Nandalia office very
willingly supports a telephone for the
accommodation of its patrons and the
public.
There is some talk among business
men of circulating a petition to the
high funCtionarles of the l.. f.. X W.
with view to having this instrument
reinStalled.

That Eun;iW AZ

Ever since Frank LamSOn purchased
the thoroughbred trotter at Chicago It
has been his ambition to put her to the
test and learn just what time she could
make. On several occasions she regis
tered 2:30. but this did not satisfy
Lamson. He felt confident greater
speed could be secured. So, Yesterday,
good slelghing and the brightly polished
runners of his new cutter gave him an
opportunity to display the speed of his
trotter. Anyone who could have seen
Frank Yesterday on Caro- street would
have noticed a gleam Of satisfaction as
he looked over the well developed mus
cleS of his steed and the beautiful
roadster in looking back upon its proud
owner, sweled with pride. This. IN
fact, is what caused the trouble. The
process OF swelling was too much for
the delicately constructed shafts ard
one of them was broken in two The
break occurred al a time when serious
damages were liable to occur But the
patriotic spirit of that horse was
aroused and not waiting for the well
known "cluck" OF the driver started out
on 2:l4l4 gait.
Frank at once realized that the only
way to beat the former record OF the
trotter was to tighten the CATER. Here
! IS where he made mistake: for instead
of stepping gracefully out III The frosty
whiteness, he, in manner not at all
elegant, recklessly threw himself out of
the sleigh. 1t was at this juncture that
the greatest squirt OF speed was accom-
pllShed. Water street, running south
from CAIRO, was the ground chosen for
the test, and the thirteen seconds util
lied by Lamson in burying his head in
a snow drift deducted from the time
registered by the ''stop watch" in

Since the murder of Pearl Bryan, and
more especially since Rev. ID. NJ. Wood
secured bail for his son implicated IN
the matter, considerable comments have
been made through the press and other
wise regarding the young man being
admitted to bail. His father there
fore under the circumstances thought
it best for his son to remain i'll confin-
ment until the trial. The following
is an extract from a letter written by
him for publication:

The Anniversary of washington's Birth
day Patrioticly Observed
Those of our citizens who desire to
attend every patriotic meeting, but
stayed at home Sunday, missed one
OF the grandest meetings along patriot
lc lines ever held IN Plymouth. An
excellent program had been prepared
which pertained to the one subject.
After America was sung by tho
large audience verse Of scripture

by President Redd and commented
upon. "W ashington as a Christian
Patriot 10y Rev. W. W. Raymond, was
an excellent paper, presenting, without
any supertluOus comments, the life of
the "Father of His Country" in such
manner as to bring into bold relief
many of the acts of Washington here
tofore seemingly undiscovered
Miss Gertrude Peterson sang q solo,
" Battle Hymn OF the Republic" in
EANuoAA4S lilC
in the chorus with patriotic ferver.
The paper by Miss May Brown on
"Washington's Farewell Address," was
full of food for thought, bringing out
those grand sentiments so characteris-
tie of Washington and which if needed
by the politicians of today would re-
dOund to the honor and credit of those
placed IN power by the people
Nv ashlngtOn as an American" was
presented by Mr.. Jacob Martin, and
was of deep interest
Mr.. &. Price rendered the old, but
always appreciated song, "The Sword
of Bunker Hill"
Prof. Bailey gave a synopsis of the
winter at Valley Forge" showing in
brief outline the troubles, sufferings
l'and priyatlons of the continental troops
IN connection with the cOwardly efforts
put forth by those who were jealous of
the great leaders achievements, in
manner that was appreciated by all.
Hon III. &. rhayer bubbled over with
enthusiasm and recOunted the feeling
OF patriotism that swept over his heart
as he traversed the ancient Mt. Vernon
home.
Hon. Chas. Reeve arose To the spirit
of the occasion and, despite his years

portrayed i'll a few. bat appropriate,
remarks.
"Three Cheers for the Red, White

An Interesting sermon.

Sunday morning at lO:l3 some
forty-fiye Knights of Pythias, assem-
bed at their Castle Hall, and marched
in body TO the Reformed chdrch. The
presence of these knights was to com
memOrate the thirty-second anniversary
of Pythianism, an occasion which Is
sacred and recognized by members of
the order. While the attendance was
quite large, there were a number of
knights who desired to participate III
the service who were not enabled to be
present. The sermon preached by Rev.
Rothenberger was very appropriate and
entertained many thoughts that will no
doubt be treasured up by the knights
present. Rev. ROthenberger had just
been admitted to the full rank OF knight
hood, and will no doubt be enabled TO
give fuller and more complete lesson
at the next annual meeting. His sermon
along the line of obedience was duly
appreciated by the large congregation
present.

Umbrella ilirtations

At this time, when showers are
making themselves numerous, it might
be well to understand umbrella llirta
tlons." To leave your umbrella in the
hall means 81 don't want it any more.

am not smart but honest" To trail
your umbrella on the side walk means
that the man behind you thirsts for
your blood. TO lend an umbrella indI-
Gates IL am fool" To put cotton
umbrella beside nice silk one means
exchange is robbery. To urge a
friend to iake an umbrella saying. "Oh,
do take it: Id much rather you would
than not, signifies that you are lying.
To return ali umbrella means never
mind what it means. No one ever does
that.
