American Roads superior.

England, until recently, has boosted
of Its steam railroads with scarcely a
voice. But Engllshmen who
have Travelled In the United States tell
a different story on their return. AL
though English railroads have the ad-
vantage Of elevated or depressed
tracks, so that they are not troubled
with grade crossings, they do not make
the speed or run punctually as do
American roads. The United States
can set an example to the world In the
successful operation of railways. The
American railroad gives the traveller
more comfort, more speed. better con-
nections, and In nearly every partIcu-
lar more value for his money, than he
can get at the same rate on any rail-
road in Europe. e.-Syracuse Post.

to Rock Island was infested by the

by Detective Bonney and the "Regula-

this route that Bonney took the mur-
derers of Colonel Davenport to Rock
Island, holding pistols to their heads
as the bandits rode up to the stage and
preventing the rescue of the prisoners.
1t was along this route that the under

ran, and the old stage brought dis
guised slaves to the homes of Ivory
Colcord and other Abolitionists In the
region of Coleta. After the war there
were several murders along the line be-
tween Milledgeville and Sterling, the
last one being the killing of George
Kaufman four years ago, Of whose
murderers the officers and detectives
have never been able to find the slight

The determination and nerve of
woman have come to the rescue of the
postal authorities in supplying a car

star route between Sterling and Mill

Sterling, has taken the position as driv

makes the trip daily, drive of thirty
miles, The contract for carrying the
mail over the route was let some time
ago to Chester A. Call, of Algona, Ia,
and 1t has been an elephant on his
hands. A Sterling liveryman was en-
gagged as driver, but gave 1t up, and
then firm of blacksmiths undertook
to deliver the mail for Mr.. Call. They
lost over a hundred dollars in three
months. owing to accidents and lack of
business on the stage which carries the
mail. Several drivers were hired for
short terms, each finally becoming dis
gusted and quitting.
Then Mrs. Giffrow came to the rescue
and made contract to deliver the mail
for year for $420 Contractor Call
