A New Racket in the EmIgrant Gar.

"Saw a queer thing on the Alton
road the other day. said Fred Ray
mond, author of "Old Arkansawn
which will appear here January IL.
"There were several cars of emigrants
along, and you know how they do
crowd EN- in. You think this smok-
ing saloon crowded with ten of US in
there, and every man putting at his
cigar, but you just ought to have seen
those emigrant cars. They were load
ed Cfrom door to door, and the air in
'em was so bad you could see clouds
of it watt off over the homes of poor
innocent, unoffending families.
have heard that farmers along the
route claim that the escaping air from
those emigrant cars have ruined their
crops, and they promise to sue the
company for damages, but that may
not be true. You can't believe every
thing you hear when travelling. For
instance" ''But that queer thing
you were going to tell US abouts'
''Oh yes. you know those little racks
on TIE sides of the cars up over the
seats. They are for parcels, wraps,
and things. But what do you suppose
those emigrants were using them for?
Babies, sir, as / live. If there was one
body hanging up there in rack there

Is a COrker.

In the terse language of the theat-
rical advance agent, aOld Arklnsaw"
is a corker. Like the cat it has more
than nine lives, and like the feline in
the song, it always comes back.
Jumping with bound into popularity,
it has maintained its hold upon the
public with a grip that there seems
20 possibility Of breaking. It has
distance6 all it's rivals and bears the
proud distinction Of being the only
big, scenic productions worthy o. the
name before the public A strong,
compact play, possessing those deli
cate touches OF pathos and humor and
all the virile force and vigor of the
drama, it ought to run on indefinitely.
Another excellent reason may be given
for its success-its owner possesses
the most elaborate and expensive
stage outfit of any company travelling.
No attempt has been made to cheaper
the attraction by the engagement OF
Incompetent actors. The old stand
ard of excellence is relgiously main
tanned and the result is shown In the
continued loyalty of the supporters.
"Old Arkansawn is a play of many
parts, and will be seen in this city at
an early date

Office Rules.

The following Is announced for the
benefit OF those concerned:
Social calls In printing Office
should never exceed four hours In
length. The printers might want To
work some during the day.
Conversation should be pitched high
enough to allow all to hear without
having to stop work and crane over
a case to discover the subject and
drift Of the talk.
Come 10 and get the papers before
the editor gets chance to read them.
He has so much reading to do that it
tires him and then you save from one
to two cents by the transaction.
Advertisements cheerfully written
and inserted with out charge. Never
think OF paying for want ad when
you have it put in the paper. The
publisher feels good over giving you
the service and he never has to pay
any of the employees.
Resolutions OF respect are never to
be paid for. The paper likes to do
your mourning for you and Ia bear
the cost OF it.
When you want an article inserted
in the NEW DOMINION which is pub
lished at three in the afternoon al
ways come in at $50 with it. No
trouble to hold the paper back a cou-
pie of hours to accommodate you
and you have more time to fool around
Ia the morning and talk to friends.

had become dissatisfied with life.
THE marriage of @. NJ. Davis and
Miss Drue Hamilton OF Fairmont
which took place at Oakland on Octo-
ber 9Th has just leaked out. They
are well known in Fairmont.
A LARGE attendance should be pres
emit at the meeting In Commencement

will be unusually interesting. DR..

THERE is to be dance at he Turn
Verein this evening Tomorrow the
general meeting will be held. There
is some business of special interest to
be transacted. All OF the members
are wanted to be there.
THE show last night was fairly good.
The costumes and scenery were all
right The actors seem TO have the
proper conception Of their parts but Sc
yeral OF. them mumbled when they talk
ed SO that their lines could not be un-
derstood. The nurse among the minor
characters made the best impression.
The leading parts were well taken.
THE good roads question is likely
TO be brought home to some sections
of the country in practical manner
The Post Office Department has been
deluged with complaints from rural
mail carriers about the roads on the
routes: many during the wet seasons
are impossible or nearly so. 1t has
always been the Governments policy
to withhold or abolish city delivery
ia towns which let their sidewalks
fall into decay. 1t is proposed to APP
ply the same principle to rural de-
livery and to refuse to establish or
abolish routes along roads which are
not kept up. Such policy will GER
tainly have salutaryetfect. Where
rural delivery has been tried its bene-
ficiaries will not readily dispense with
it, even at the expenditure of con-
siderable time and labor. Then
Intelligent work done on the roads re-
bounds to the farmers own benefit.

No, we just simply all decided to

The reporter suggested that the

An amusing incident of the strike
occurred this morning when a big
colored fellow reported at the alleys
for duty. But the cry of "soab' from
a score of piping voices elected the
promise from the darkey that he would
not scab on anyone and he got away
from the crowd as quickly rs possible.

alleys. He said he was going to put
