Work ON the Valley Railroad.

Houston. Texas, Dec. PA special
from Chicago to the Post says:
John w. Gates, one Of the syndicate
which recently purchased the Kansas
City Southern railroad, Is authority
for the statement that New Orleans
il it's objective point. The extension
il already under construction. 1t Ii
known as the Shreveport 4 Red River
Valley road which has now $50 miles
in operation, and ia being extended
from Shreveport in the direction Of
New Orleans. When completed the
road will be operated as a part of the
Kansas City Southern system, as the
syndicate is furnishing the money to
build it and it's nominal promoter,
William EdenbOrn, is director in
the Kansas City Southern. 1t Is be-
lieved that the new extension will be
an important feeder for the system in
both directions. 1t will make it a
still more formidable competitor for
the grain and packing house product
traffic of the West seeking an outlet
by the gulf ports and it will enable
the Kansas City Southern TO secure
a fair proportion of the cotton traffic
from New Orleans to the Orient via
North Pacific coat points. From the
standpoint of local traffic the new ex-
tension will be of great value to the
Kansas City Southern"

Seeds That Surely Grow.

The cost of seeds compared with
the value of the crop is so small that
a few cents saved by buying second
rate seeds will amount to many dol
lars lost when the harvest is gathered.
Farmers have found out by many
costly failures what n risky thing 1t
IL to buy seeds without bieng pretty
sure that they are reliable and true
to name. The latest catalogue Of the
seed house of ID. NJ. Ferry d Co., of
Detroit, Mich, is reminder that
thousands of farmers in the United
States and Canada have pinned their
faith to the reputation Of this great
firm. During a business career ap-
preaching half century In time Fer
ry's seeds have won an annual in
crease in popularity, which is perhaps
the best evidence that they grow and

Carriage.

Annie Toellc. months old was fatally
burned yesterday noon The child was in its
baby carriage and no one else was in the
house, save its !-year-od sister Nell. The
origin Of the fire is a mystery
Mrs. Lena Toelle, the mother of the chill
dren. had left her house at No. 1927 North
Sixteenth street to carry out the ashes from
the kitchen stove. She left little Nell sew

kitchen and a livingroOm. The door of this
room was opened half way, and 80 was
parallel 10 the side of the carriage and
only a few inches from 1t. On the other
side OF the door was clothes press. into
which Mrs. Toelle had put an apron just
before going into tie kitchen to attend to
the stove. But there was no fire in any
part of the house except the kitchen.
Mrs. Toelle Is positive that she had not
been near the stove before going to the
clothes press. Within a few moments after
she had left the house the mother was start
led by cries of fire from her 7-year-old
daughter. When she reached the scene the
clothes press was in flames, and these had
burst through the glass window in the GEN.

PLEADS HIS own
CASE IN COURT.
John II. Lyons, Opium Smoker. Is
Charged With Attempting to
Pass Worthless s. Bills.

John Fl. Lyons who was indicted by tine
Federal Grand Jury on a charge of attempt
ing to pass two worthless five dollar bills
was on trial before Judge Adams In the
United States District Court yesterday.
Lyons Is an inveterate opium smoker. He
insists upon pleading his own case declar-
Ing that he has more confidence in himself
than he has in any attorney he can afford
10 hire. and that he has no faith In the
old adage that one who pleads his own
cause has n fool for client. He. refused
the courts offer to appoint lawyer to
defend him.
Al the trial Yesterday he conducted HIM
self In an attor1ey-like- fashion, He took
copious notes upon what vas said. and
asked questions and made objections in a
manner which would have done credit to a
tried barris;er. He is accused of attempt
ini; to pass two bills Of some State bank
In Tennessee. which Is long ago defunct. 1t
is alleged that he gave them to Italian
fruit vcnders in payment for oranges, and
accepted good meney in change.
Lyons was arrested some time in June and
Commissioner Gray at that time. While
the hearing was in progress an Italian
woman who was unable to speak English.
rushed into the room and pointing wildly at
the prisoner gave vent to great wrath. and
flow of italian. which when translated
meant that she charged Lyons with having
passed worthless bill on her. which caused
her to lose the profits of her fruit busi-
ness for two weeks.
The case was laid over until TO-DAY at the
request of Lyons. who stated that he would
produce Il witness who would enable him to
prove an alibi.
