The workingmen of Linton, Indiana,
are so imbued with the idea of union
ism that one of them, very poor man
refused to accept hat from Chic
Engineer Wallace of the Monon rail
road, simply because it was not union
made, and the hat was agood one, too.
Linton Is coal town, and unionism Is
so perfect there that the business of the
entire city can be stopped within an
hour after the dictum has gone forth
from the Federation. 1000 miners
are organized the clerks are organic
ed, carpenters, bricklayers, painters,
printers, teamsters and employees OF
every other business are organized per-
fectly and all organizations are united
i'm central federation. At a griev-
ance from one organization the entire
lot is called out-yet in this town
where unionism is probably as perfect
as any place in the y. S., there is little
abuse of the power the organizations
have. The editor is familiar with
there and knows these
things for truth.

If this town Is ever to be beautified
to any great extent there must be
cooperation on the part of the prop
erty owners. In different parts Of the
city there are individual pieces of
property that would present de-
lightful appearance If located in more
favorable surroundings, but as they
are, surrounded by residences poorly
kept, lots seldom moved, and dilapi-
dated, fences they haven't chance
and sink back in helplessness and
shame. Occasionally you will run
across ALMOST an entire block of nice
ly kept residence properties, and how
satisfactory it all is. On First East
between First and Second North are
to be seen four cottages that are al
ways in perfect condition. The houses
are not palaces by any means, but are
neat and pleasing in appearance
nicely painted, fences and walks kept
i'm repair, lawns in good condition, and
will attract the attention of anyone
passing. There are no concrete walks
in front of the homes and no shade
worth mentioning, so the attractive
ness can come only from their neat
and cleanly appearance and the fact
that they are equally splendid in this
way. On Third North, east of Main
Is another row Of charming places
also on First South on each side OF
Main for block-but the rows arc
few and far between. When YOU SEE
your neighbor showing disposition
to improve tine appearance OF things
why not join him In IL. and do The
most You can to improve your end o
the town. Possibly you haven't none!
to make extensive Improvements, ye
don't fail to do all you can in the wa,
that does not require an outlay of fl
nances. Clean up your lawn and keel
it that way; fix up your fences; trim
up your shrubbery and such other Xix
things and you will be highly please,
with yourself when you have done it.

AS one goes over the streets of the
city, little observation will convince
the most skeptical that the boxelder
tree furnishes the best shade and Is
freest from all manner Of insects, and at
the time same presents an appearance
equal to any of its taller and more
dignitied neighbors. The tree is a
hardy one, grows we'll and has roots
that enable it to stand at least the
average wind storm. Aside from the
harmless little red bug that inlests
its branches in The early spring, it is
perfect in every detail and persons
planting trees will do well to select
this tree in preference to Others.
The poplar has served its day of use
fulness in this country, and while we
would not advocate the removal OF
large trees OF that variety, we would
urge those setting out new trees tC
select some other.

The invasion of the caterpillar is
rapidly assuming a serious aspect In
this city and vicinity. Quite num-
Der of orchards are being consumed by
them, and the little pests are on most
of our shade trees In countless num-
bers. Some people are using every
conceivable means to destroy the in
vading hosts, but their efforts are
neutralIzed by the failure of others to
do likewise, and until there Is some
systematic and effective means adopt
ed there Is not likely to be any relief.
The caterpillar is ruinous little cuss
and If something is not done to get
rid of him, this vicinity will not
count for much in the fruit line. In
order to protect and preserve the
things in general way, plans should
be adopted looking forward to theil
determination. II would seem that
there should be some person to look
after such matters,--a state or county
officer with assistants, who could ant
would attend to the matter properly

The freight on car load of wire
shipped from Buffalo, n. Y, to Logan,
amounts to S437. Inasmuch as a cal
of wire weighs 10000 pounds and the
value of the same runs up into the
thousands, this charge will probably
not seem as outrageously cxorbitant
as it is. And who pays this freight
the dealer or manufacturer? Neither,
of course-it's the consumer who pays
every time. From this, one can gather
how much cheaper it is to live and dc
business nearer the great manufact.
uring centers, and should be an in.
centiye towards securing every avail.
able manufacturing enterprise that
can be indnced to come our way. II

that are necessary to carry on bust
ness, and export instead of import
we would be much richer people
Manufacturing enterprises not only
furnish employment to local people
but furnish an article at less cost thar
when it must be imported.

TObeka. Kan. flooded and tire-SWept,

Topeka, Kan, flooded and tire-swept,
with loss of not less than $4,000, 600
and 1900 homeless, is asking for out
side assistance. 1t is estimated that
the relief work will require an ex.
penditure of not less than slOO, 200, and
the city is in poor shape to cope with
the dire necessities of the recent
calamity. There is now great fear of
spread of disease, as good drinking
water is unobtainable and everything
is in such shape as to breed disease
This appeal should meet with ready
response from the more fortunate PEG
pie Of the country.

This precipitated the boy from his seat

The council felt that the city was I'M
der moral obligation to help pay the
Bills resulting from the accident and
adopted the suggestion of the COM
mittee. Councilman Burris was dead
against it and asked to be placed on
record that way. Thoreson also voted
against 1t.
Mayor Hansen, representing the
Fair committee, appointed to confer
with the council in regard to the Sc
curing of the City Park for fair
ground and race track, suggested that
the council appoint committee to
confer with the citizens and ascertain
the ACCESSIBILITY Of such thing. The
Mayor then launched forth in a Lengthy
speech in favor of granting to an asso-
citation ten year lease on said park
for the nominal sum of 81 per acre per
year-provided that said association
would erect thereon a building that
would be credit to the city, and also
agree to keep the grounds in excellent
repair, etc. He also suggested that
the lease might incorporate clause
providing for the setting apart of
portion of the grounds for fine grove

trees and make Of the same a thing of
beauty forever. The Mayor believes
that an association can and will be Or

ment, and believes that the council
can well afford to lease the park pro-
pcrty to a fair association. Frequent
race meetings could be held and at
each large crowds would gather here
from all parts of the county and state,
and the Mayor referred to fair that
was held here some years ago and
which was so successful. At the close
of the Mayors talk, Thoreson, Baker
and Quayle were appointed as COM
mittee to look into the matter.

thoroughly police the strip that will

If press dispatches from Enid, O. T. ,
are to be relied upon. it has been es-
tablished beyond doubt that John
Wilkes Booth, the murderer Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, escaped death at the
time the crime was committed and
since has been living in Kentucky,
Texas and Oklahoma Territory.
Junius Brutus Booth, nephew of
John Wilkes has positively identified
one David f. George as his uncle, and
his identification has been confirmed
by Joseph jefferson and Clara Morris
who knew the unfortunate actor at
the time of Lincoln's death. George,
or Booth committed suicide in Enid,
o. r., in January, 1901, and in his
effects was found a letter addressed to
J. L. Bates, Memphis, Tenn. Bates
went to that town, viewed the re-
mains and identified them as that Of
John Wilkes Booth. He then went
east and secured positive evidence
from Jefferson, Miss Morris and Junius
Brutus Booth. This would seem to
explode the old story that Booth was
shot and burned in a stable not far
from Washington City, and the many
who believe in just retribution will
find Wilkes suicide subject for much
conversation. Thus another chapter
is added to one of the saddest
events in the nations history.

Adjoining ~ some of the most
travelled streets in the city are quite
a number of old shacks, dilapidated
buildings not now in use and wholly
unfit for use at any future time, which
should be removed. They are un-
slightly and in many instances spoil
the pleasing effect of good pieces of
property which they are near. Such
things could be remedied with little
trouble and less cost, and there Is
really little excuse for its not having
been done before this time. Pride in
the general appearance of things
should lead property owners to look
after matters of this kind. The APP
pearance of the city could be improved
100 per cent by the removal of these
shacks, some careful attention to
corrals, the placing of pickets on
dilapidatcd fences, and the cutting
down of underground on vacant and

shareholders Notified that Large
Sums of Money Are Required for
Permanent improvements.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-The call for
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. to be
held March TO- issued to-day, contains
notifca ton that the shareholders will be
asked to authorize an increase in the capi-
tai stock to more than s4OO. .OOo. 900. or nearly
double the amount now outstanding. The
following official statement was issued from
the company's office tonight:
1.-The object of the notice to stockholders
is to provide sufficient working capital for
the future and give the board the power
to issue the same, from time to time, as
require. The present outstanding capital
stock is about s2OS OO0, ,OOO and about SIS, ,OOO,-
600 more have to be reserved for the con-
vertible bonds that were issued last year.
making about s23S. .OOO, 600 in all, and leaving
only about $13,O 600 of surplus stock avail
able. 1t is, therefore, deemed prudent to do
now what was done about thirty years ago
that is, in 1873, when the stockholders
practically authorized the stock to be in
creased to about double the amount then
outstanding, 10 be issued al such times as
ii may be needed, and also gave the board
the power to issue bonds to the same ag-
gregate amount from time to time. but not
in excess at any time of its outstanding
capital stock
The increased capitalization is deemed
necessary because of the improvements
contemplated. While the New York tunnel
is to be built by another company, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will own
all the stock and at least $50, 900 will be
used for this purpose. There will be sew
eral million dollars spent in Washington
and $50. 100000 permanent improvements
on the line of the road.
