WILL STICK TO DIXIE.
Ex-censsderates Want Wording Of the
SONG UNCHANGED.

At q recent Confederate reunion at
Columbia. Missouri, tumultuous scenes
resulted from q motion to change the
words OF Dixie" John c. Stone of
Kansas City introduced a resolution set
ting forth that the words of the song
as they now stand are childish and un-
becoming, especially when compared
with some other great patriotic songs.
Mr.. Stone suggested that the Missouri
Daughters Of the COnfederacy take the
matter In hand and rewrite the song
In more appropriate words.
Shouts of disapproval greeted the
motion. Scores of veterans were on
their feet in a moment, protesting
against any change. Then some one
started the rebel yell, and the whole
crowd was at it for several minutes.
The yell did more than much argu-
ment might have accomplished, for,
when quiet was restored and the res
olution was put to vote. every man
present except one voted against 1t.
Just as the decision was announced
the band struck up Dixie" and the
rebel yell was raised once more. Sew
eral hundred university students joined
in the tumult and it was fifteen min
utes before order was restored and
the reunion again settled down to busi-
ness.

MONTANA BANDITS
THREATEN TRAINS

Helena. Mont, Sept. 27.-Because
the Northern Pacific Railway Company
refused to comply with the demands OF
a gang of dynamiters to deposit large
sum of money at point between Gar
rison and Missoula, no less than four
attempts have been made within the past
two weeks to carry out the threat to
blow the property of the company in
Montana off the map" as expressed in
the ultimatum.
AS vet no serious damage has result
ed. although the cOw-catcher and head
light were blown of passenger en-
gine in the Helena yards and the tracks
have been torn up to greater or less
extent.
The Pat Grove plan of securing
money was delivered to the company
officials about three weeks ago. but the
fatcs have just become public.
The notice, which was sent to Cen
eral Passenger Agent Fee and General
Manager Hannaford, at first demanded
$25 900 and then $4,000 be given to the
engineer Of light engine, to be deliv-
cred by him at designated point west
of Garrison on a certain date and at
given signal from the bandits.
Instead the railway officials essayed
to capture the robbers by ruse which.
however, failed ignominiously. The
light engine was sent out as directed,
and the supposed package of $5O,OO0
was in plain view.
Approaching the spot appointed. the
engine slowed down, but before 1t came

which there were dozen or more
heavily-armed men. hove in sight A
search was made of the immediate VI
cinity, but none of the conspirators
were to be found.
The railway officials have since been
warned that because of their "trifiing'
the original threat would now be car

cut in it, allowing the water to be
sucked through but keeping out the
sand. A lead gasket is dropped down
and rammed home, joining the top of
the strainer to the six-inch pipe. Such
well is cleaner than any open dug
well, from the fact that no surface
water can get down into it. The water
pumped comes from way down in the
earth, and to get there must have been
| filtered or eliminated from impurities
by filtration through the soil and
gravel.
These 20 wells will cost, driven, piped
and connected to the big pump, about
$50, 900, and will afford about the finest
kind of water supply. What did the
Belfast plant cost, and how many miles
of pipe are there? 1t does not extend
tc the East side, does it? Ours is carried
across the river, and our east side has
city water.
The new power station is to be large
enough to house both the pumping and
electric lighting plants, as one set of
boilers and engineers and firemen can
handle both. II these two municipal
plants can be eliminated entirely from
politics and operated on good busi-
ness policy, the city will get its water
! and street lighting for nothing and lay
up surplus annually to retire its
water bonds twenty years hence.
