RAILROAD SPIKES.
Roads Running in Here Making I'm
proVements.

There is no road in the country
making greater stri1es of improve.
ment and betterment than the
Kansas City Southern. There is a
small army of colored men leave
here daily for work between here
and Ogden and on the dump be
tween here and the river.
General Superintendent Green,
in an interview with a Shreveport
Times resporter, said of the work
now going on at Index and other
points; "The bridge across the
Red river at Index will be completed
in about six weeks. Two spans
have been finished for some time,
but owing to the fact that they
could not obtain the iron work, the
work has been delayed. The bridge
when completed will cost $500, 0OO
A large force of men with two
steam shovels are at work grading
between Texarkaua and Ogden,
About August 1st these shovels
with some 200 men will be employed
in cutting down grades between
Texarkana and Shreveport. Thi:
work will be continued through the
winter"
Mr.. Green says the Kansas City
Southern is making extensive prep
aration for handling the crowd:
bound for the national democratic
convention to be held in Kansas
City July 4. Every available cal
will be placed in service.
The 7. q P. is not a slow coacI
in placing betterments down in the
way of new steel. Every day {
long string of fiat cars loaded with
rails are delivered here by the lror
Mountain road to the T. & P, anG
this road is putting them down OF
i its entire track between this place
and Ell Paso. In addition to this
the curves are being taken out
where possible and the tracl
Strengthened and the grades are
being cut down, 1t is, the desire Il
make track and roadbed between
st. Louis and Ell Paso so that Z
flyer can be put on that will take
a train sixty miles an hour, with
stops.
With this in view the Iron Noun
tain is doing bit of work in reduc
ing grades, strengthening theil
dumps and taking out curves.
The T. S. & N. road is also, in its
way, hauling gravel on that part Of
the road in which it has gumbt
land to contend with and which
gives way under the weight of the
train. This road will soon have Z
good ballast road way, and reduce
the running time between this
place and Shreveport, and make
travel a pleasure over the route.

A sensational statement was made
before the Industrial Commission,
now hearing testimony on matters
relating to labor, by Mr.. NJ. F.
Thompson, Secretary of the South
ern Industrial Convention of Hunts
vile, Ala, and a bitter opponent of
labor unions, who said: Labor or
ganizations are today the greatest
menace to this government that ex-
lists inside or outside the pale of our
national domain. Their influence
for disruption and disorganization
of society is far more dangerous to
the perpetuation of our govern
ment in its purity and power, than
would be the hostile array on our
borders of the armies of the entire
world combined" That is probably
the most extreme opinion of its kind
ever publicly uttered in this cOun-
try. 1t was listened to by some of
the labor leaders, who intend to an
swer it in their testimony before the
commission.

Your mothers and grardmothers' never
thought OF using anything else for indi-

THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT.

This is the question now agitating
the minds of our leading politicians,
and while several prominent men
have been suggested, the final Sc
lection will undoubtedly be the man
who will serve the party interests
to the best advantage. This is also
true of medicine. When your stom-
ach becomes weak and you suffer
from dyspepsia, Indigestion, consti-
patton and fatulency or when in
need of a medicine to build up your
system or restore your appetite,
you will make no mistake if you try
that sovereign remedy, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters. 1t is booked up
by fifty years of cures, and is recon
mended by many prominent physi.
clans. 1t is also an excellent medi.
cine for malaria, fever and ague,
and can be had of any druggist. Be

The republican pretense that
there is uncertainty about who will
fill the second place on the McKin-
ley ticket is amusing. Boss Hanna
and Mr.. Mckinley have long ago Sc
lected the man, but the secret has
been well kept, as they wish the del,
egates to the convention to
be deluded into the be-
lief that the nomination is theirs.
The platform that will be adopted
by the Philadelphia convention has
also been written, although the con-
vention will go through the farce of
appointing platform committee to
prepare it. The platform was writ
ten by Postmaster General Smith,
who was chosen for the task because
he was newspaper man, but its
authors are Boss Hanna and Mr..
Mckinley. They dictated it in the
rough to Mr., Smith, who polished it
up. In fact, the work of the Phila-
delphia convention could easily be
done well inside of three hours, but
Hanna promised that in return for
that 100000 contribution that the
convention should sit three days,
and the programme has been ar
ranged on a three day basis, not
only to give the Philadelphians a
chance to even up but to try to
work up a little enthusiasm among
the delegates.

Hetty Green, the millionaire, says;
A girl should be brought up so as to
be able to make her own living,
whether or not she's to inherit a
fortune. But a woman's place is in
the home, though some women do
better business than men. A girl
ought to be careful about the man
she marries, too, especially if she
has money. She oughtn't to marry
until she's old enough to know what

Thirteen at Dirner.

Here is a nice, creepy story told by
the son Of Sir John Millais, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
There was dinner party at the Mil
lais house, and when all were seated
a lady tremuously observed that there
were thirteen, at table. The painter
asked HE son to dine in another room.
and he did so. When dinner was over.
no one seemed anxious to be the first
to rise, SO Matthew Arnold, who was
one of the guests. suggested that he
and two stalwart undergraduates
should get up simultaneously. The
three men did so. Within a year each
of them was dead-Arnold by heart
disease, one of the lads by suicide, the
other by drowning. But why did not
fate seize upon Mr.. Millais, who left
the table first, and by all the rules of
superstition should have paid the for
felt with his life? Perhaps he was
spared because of his amiability in
leaving the table to please the worthy
goose who called attention to the risk
they were all running.

Richard Elvin was at all times quick

"Fool!" he echoed. 'Why have I

Starne, in disgust.

You come here like a believing bull,
rush around to stab people, and howl

With sneer Of bitterness too deep
for words Starne drew folded letter
from his pocket.

1t was Rob's letter to his uncle. With
trembling fingers Elvin held it, and
read it through. He returned 1t to
Starne without word.

the son. "How do you feel, now that
your foolishness has upset the whole
scheme?"
But has it?" asked Elvin. Il GER
