How the Curtew Ordinance WORKS



Chelsea, Mass, is noted as being 9
very rapid town, but 1t has q medival
chief Of police, who is too much Of q
Dogberry ever for the Chelseans.
II seems there are certain wise and
unwise curfew laws in Chelsea which
forbid children under sixteen from be-
ing on the streets after a certain hour
at night.
Consequently Chief Drury, full Of
righteous zeal for the public welfare,
stationed policemen at the gallery
exit Of the theatres and captured half
Adozen bloodtbirsty youngsters whose
parents had given them money 10 see
the plays.
The dangerous culprits were
marched to the police headquarters
and their distracted mothers were
notified about midnight that their
children were in jail.
The city fathers Of Chelsea win
probably loose no time In informing
Chief Drury that jails not made
for little children, and that his zeal
can be expended IN some wiser way
than in preventing boys from enjoy
ing the pleasures Of the theatre.
The crime committed in locking the
iron doors Of 3 jail on 3 terrified group
Of v young boys is far greater
than any possible violation Of the cur
few laws. Such unjust treatment has
oftsn left Its mark upon 5 child 80 in
delibly that years could not effaee II.

DAISY R 5 ABEER.
The Troubles of the Armstrong; Are
Once More Before the Public.

sirs: Daisy Armstrong, nee Leniton,
has brought action for divorce from
her husband, Abner @. Armstrong.
The petition for divorce, which was
fled in the first half OF August, but
not given to the press, Is much more
conservative as to allegations than
a former one which was hled on July
II, 1899, and withdrawn on July %,
1899.
In the petition Mrs. Armstrong says
that she and defendant were married
on May "a, 1899, and they lived tcgeth-
or until June 20. she charges indig-
nIties to-wit:
In June her husband deserted bel
and turned her out OF her home. She
alec alleges that she received cruel
treatment atthe hands Of her husband
that he struck and bruised her while
attempting to remove herself and
some furniture from the residence In
which they had been living.
Mrs. Armstrong states that she
afterwards returned to live with her
husband upon his promise OF good
treatment. She alleges that the crueI
treatment was begun again and that
her husband afterward deserted her
and left her without support.

MISSOURI MIDLAND 3 N
Columbia Celebrates the Completion
Of a New Line.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Sept. 2.-The Mis-
souri, Midland railroad, a new line be-
tween Columbia and McBain, Mo-, s
miles southwest OF here, was formally
opened to-day by a free excursion In
which several thousand people par
fticipated. Columbia was represented
by perhaps half it's population and
many people from all parts Of Boone
county were present.
Trains from Columbia we're run
every half hour, beginning at 8 O'Clock
this morning, and each car was crowd
cd to its utmost capacity, a large per
cent Of the crowd being composed Of
women and children, Along the line
stops were made to allow the passen-
gers to lunch In the shade OF the
woods, and picnic parties occupied all
desirable points near the line. The
most elaborate dinner OF all was given
on the premises of G. B. Rollins, where
many hundred people were assembled.
All the managers and directors of the
road we're present.
Speeches were delivered by Attor-
ney General E. O. Grow, P. 8. RAIDER,
Gen. Oden Guitar and others. Many
visitors from Sedalia, Boonville, JEFF
ferson City and other towns were in
attendance.
The unusual interest manifested is
partly due to the fact that the new
railroad lie in some respects the most
remarkable in the world. 1t is only
s miles 10 length and yet there are %
bridges on the line. The total length
of them is something over 1000 feet
and IL has taken 260, 900 feet Of lumber
to construct them. The greater num-
Der are frame. The largest sized lnm-
Der used was 10 inches square, of
which the ellis are made.
The longest bridge is over Horse
Shoe lake, has a length Of S15 feet.
Those crossing Henkson measure, re-
spectively, $50, 10 and 81 feet, while
the bridge in the ill, which was go
rapidly built last week, measures 1877
feet. The work has been carried out
by McCabe and Steen under the direc-
tion of R. N. Bagley. The line, which
is a branch, connects Columbia with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas at
McBRin. It affords an outlet to the
southwest and lie q great benefit to
this city, especially to the Missouri
State University located here.
