REPl Bl.II II EClAl<
Jefferson City. Mo. March 3.-Thc House
Committee on Railroads and Internal I'M
provements was again attacked in the
House this morning. NJ Ing .of Wayne
was the aggrieved party. Early in the SEES
sion he introduced bill requiring railroads
to furnish transportation to shippers of live
stock.
He stated TO the House that this bill was
referred to the committee January Is. He
appeared before the committee, and some
three weeks later the chairman Mr.. Hud-
son of Worth. had informed him that the
measure would be reported favorably. That
was the last ne had heard OF his measure.
and he appealed to the House to aid him in
an effort to resurrect it,
Meantime the clerks had been busy lock-
ing for the bill and made the discovery that
Mr.. Hudson had reported it with the rec
ommendation that it be referred to the
Committee on judiciary. where it is at the
present time. Being informed of the status
Of his measure. Nj. Ing said:
That's mighty queer way of doing
business and I want to go on record as
protesting against it,
1t has been evident for some days that
the Committee on Railroads and Internal
improvements is likely to hear unpleasant
remarks before adjournment. The records
bear proof that it has held I'D bills from
the early part OF the session and established
a record for Dilatory tactics euualed only
by the Committee on School Textbooks.

Stuck Fast I'm the Door.

A queer looking procession moved up
Sixth avenue yesterday afternoon. Just
what 1t was no one seemed to know. The
policemen along the avenue described il
az Jay circus The outfit consisted Of
three men. two mules drawing wagons,
four billy goats and an elephant that trailed
along in the rear
At Sixth avenue and Thirty-sixth street
there is dentists establishment. The
dentist, in addition to advertising his bust
ness by fancy signs, has a gayly dressed
negro on the sidewalk to hand out cards
to pedestrians. The negro il known along
the avenue as Jim Cards" Yesterday
Jim's raiment was particularly gay He
wore tall hat with red silk band and a
bright red spike-tail coat. His trousers
were of the uncle Sam" variety.
The elephant got one look at jim. and
then with a snort made for the card man.
The negro fed up the stairs, four steps at a
time. He didn't stop in the dental parlor.
Instead he went to the roof and hastily
discarded the hat and coat.
Meanwhile the elephant was trying to
follow. He got his head and trunk into
the doorway. There he stuck fast, snorting
and squealing so loudly that people for
two blocks around ran out to see who was
being killed
Jim peered over the roof. but of course
the elephant didn't see him. All the same
he stamped and shook his frame so much
that a negress in the street yelled to jim:
"Yoh git off dat roof He's done gwine
TO tore de house down"
Jim travelled to another roof but soon
the men in the procession tackled the ele-
plant with hooks and got him out Of the
doorway 1t took much prodding to get
the beast to continue up the avenue, but
by the time he reached Thirty-fourth
street he seemed to have forgotten jim and
went along peacefully.
An hour later the negro came down and
resumed his work, but he kept his eyes
alternately up and down the avenue to be
sure not to be taken by surprise again.
"Ah wonder what dat old fool ELEPHANT
wanted uf me-" said he. "Ah never said
anything wrong bout him. Fact ah nevah
would harm no ELEPHANT"
