A COOL SUGGESTION.


Some of the county papers are strik-
ing the court house question with
vengeance. We can't see for the life of
us what they are bowling about. When
it's time to build a court house Mason
City will undoubtedly build one, good
one, and donate it to the county. Those
enterprising merchants e the county
seat have grown a little tired of having
to point out the shabby old stone pile,
as the court house, and then swearing
that it is the court house or visitors
wouldn't believe it. They are beginning
to think the county needs court house.
If the county needs court house we
think Mason City will build it. Conse-;
quently the Taxpayers help is not re-
quired. Some seem to think that Clear
Lake would be a good location, but
that would not be feasible for this end
of the county because railroad accom-
modations are limited to that point.
Most of our people would not care to
drive there to transact business. OF
course it would not be right for the tax
payers to build the court house and de-
Iliberately donate it to Mason City, and
we hardly think Mason City will have
the pluck to ask so much. There is
nothing that will boom their town more
than for them to give to the people of
Cerro Gordo county a $4,000 building,
which will be highly appreciated by
every person in the county.

PROTECTION of. RAILROAD MEN.

OF RAILROAD MEN.
[Sioux City Tribune.l
Since the horrible murder of two
brakemen by tramps near Marshall
town a few days ago there has been
good deal of interesting discussion in
the newspapers of the state with refer
ence to the enactment of law which
will give the trainmen the right to bear
arms The demand for such a law
comes from railroad sources, but the
Tribune has yet to see an exchange
which does not endorse the PROPOSE
ton. 1t Is declared that the tramp nui-
sance, so far as the railroads are con-
cerned, is practically as bad today as 1t
ever was. because the ugly characters
whom the trainmen have particular
reason to fear can not be induced to go
to work. They act the bully on freight
trains, knowing that the laws forbid the
trainmen to go armed, and the latter
find themselves confronted, with the
duty, made mandatory by orders from
headquarters, of putting the invaders
off the trains. If the brakeman who at
tempts this duty happens to be of pow
erful frame he has little or no trouble,
but those who do not enjoy that physi-
cal distinction are bound to get hurt IL
they do not treat the vicious hoboes
with respect and consideration. For his
own good many brakeman has taken
chances of being discharged from his
position by disregarding orders and al
lowing tough characters to ride on
trains free, and this situation is plain
ly unjust to the trainmen. If they have
enough strength to perform the duties
|of brakemen the law should thoroughly
protect them in the performance of that
work, and not, by denying them the
right to bear arms, compel them to
give up a livelihood to others who not
only can do the ordinary work of the
brakeman, but are physically able also
to whip the big loafers who see fit to
appropriate something to which they
are not entitled.
Railroad work Is legitimate. and rail-
road men are among our best citizens;
1t should not be necessary for them to
be expert bruisers And the railroads
are plainly right in making the rule
that unauthorized persons. Transports
ton, human and freight. is the stock in
trade of the railroads, and IL vicious
characters appropriate 1t to their own
use without compensation, steal It. 1t
should not be the case that the law for
bids the ordinary trainman, qualified in
EVERY other respect for the performance
of his duties. the privilege of putting an
end to the lawlessness in the only way
1t can be ended. II trainmen went
armed and the tramps knew it TRACE
dies like the one which recently shocked
the state would be less frequent.

was only slightly injured. The Lead

OLD MAIDS CONVENTION.
A Most Successful Performance by Home
Talent. A Large and Appreciative
Audience.

"The Old Maids Convention and
Its Results" which was given at the
Opera House last night will 60 on
record as one of the most successful
entertainments given by local talent
that ever took place in this city. Our
citizens had confidence in its success
and they patronized it literally. The
parquet and dress circle were literally
packed, while large number of pers-
ons found seats on the gallery. The
piece is purely comedy and it is to
the credit of our home talent that
they were able to bring out all the
points amusing situations with such
strong effect. The audience was we'll
pleased and showed its appreciation
by liberal applause.
In the course of the entertainment
some very fine music was introduced.
The performers revealed as much
cleaverness in their make up and old
fashioned style of dress as in their
performance. Indeed it was the quaint
outlandish costumes worn that con-
tributed not little to the enjoyment
of the evening.
Tne entertainment was solely in
charge of Miss Dunkle who not only
conducted the rehearsals, but also .all
the buiness connected with the per-
tormance even to the smallest details.
She has given our town fine example
of culture, business ability and per-
servance combined. In the hands of
person not thus qualified the enter
tainment might not have beeu such
we'll rounded success.-Danvllle Neaos

W. j Rawlings of Bloomsbury, Wins the
Camera.

The guessing contest which has
been going on at Geo. w. Hess jew
elry store for the past three weeks,
was concluded Saturday evening when
the large field pumpkin was opened
and the seeds counted.
1t was just eight o'clock when Tom
H. Vanderslice of the Bloomsburg
Daily and d. J. Tasker of this Office,
the judges appointed by Mr.. Hess,
entered the store. They at once re-
paired to the rear end of the room and
after being supplied with the necessary
tools began their work.
The judges labored industriously
for half an hour, and after careful
count the pumpkin was found to con-
tain GAS seeds. A very singular feat
ure was that no one succeeded in
guessing the exact number, the nearest
being $50 of which there were five.
These were placed in a box, and after
being thoroughly shaken up, the FIRST
one drawn out contained the name Of
w. ]. Rawlings of Bloomsbury, and he
was awarded the prize, beautiful
folding camera, valued at $40.
The contest revealed the fact that
there are great many people in this
vicinity who don't know great deal
about pumpkins. For instance, one
person guessed Ia seeds, while an
other placed his guess at 1900.
The fruit of the field, by reason Of
its long confinement in the window.
was slightly decomposed, and the
odor which the judges were obliged to
sniff, while performing their work was
not very pleasant, but they were amp
ly repaid later in the evening, when
Mr.. Hess, gracefully conducted them
to Housel & Sons dining room and
treated them to sumptous oyster
supper.
