ROYAL NEIGHRoRs THESE.
Cedar Falls Members Encounter vari
Gus Obstacles in a Trip to Dixie.

Special to Times Republican,.
Dixie, Dec. Saturday was Cedar
Falls day in Dixie and II the crowd they
sent over is any criterion of those who
remained at home the citizens here
would like to be notified day in adj
vance, so that due preparation may be
made for their coming. Several months
ago the ladies here organized Royal
Neighbor lodge, but the same charac-
istic which almost invariably re-
quires a woman to add a postscript to-
q. letter seems to have pervaded the
work at that time, and Saturday two
hack loads of Cedar Falls ladies came
over to repair the botch made when the
lodge was organized. Their arrival in
the city was worthy of note, inasmuch
as half the delegation came on foot. as
the carriage furnished by the enterprise
ing liverymen at the Falls had broken
Gown and arrived minus rear wheel.
The Cedar Falls ladies were not in the
best of spirits when they gathered In
the hall to show the Dixie lodge how 1t
should have been done While they
were thus engaged the drivers pro-
oeeded to "get busy" and by the time
the ladies were ready to return were IN
no condition to return With them, ~
least SO the women thought, as they
refused to enter the carriage. In the
meantime the drivers had a little alter
cation among themselves and a rough
and tumble fight ensued. Marshal Ohm
stead now appeared and arrested the
youngest and more helpless OF the two
men and lodged him in jail. When ne
returned for the other one ne seemed
to have recovered from his big drunk
and managed to get his horses in shape
for the drive home. Liveryman MUIR
ply, of this place, took the occupants
of the broken carriage back to Cedar
Falls. The remaining member OF the
party was released shortly after sup-
per and the city treasury IS 80 tns
richer for his visit. A tall, anguiaA
Royal Neighbor from Cedar Falls was
heard to remark. We'll, If we ever
come to Dixie again, you can just bet
we won't bring a man along.

appears that neither the land owner nor
the railroad promoters are satisfied ful-

other railroads and the owners are IN
different to the new route. The pro-
moters of the Des Moines Southern are
already planning to go further than to
Greenfield with their line. Their sur
