To the contrary, while he did not say in

he made every admission and indication
that it is part of that great system, and
he does not hesitate TO make the impress

situation accurately and clearly and that
at this time there Is but little more to be
said about it, except that the develop

part of the Wabash system. He stated
that the maps and profiles of the road
have been fiicd in Barbour county for
recordation, and that they would be
filed in other counties in few days,
through which the lire will run.
In speaking of the road, he said that
the Wabash people, when they come to
examine the surveys, will find the route
20 miles shorter than any other route
considered. He added that the grade is
just as good as any other in the state,
and in his opinion better, and that the
road over this route could be built
cheaper than any other suggested. Then

WOMEN IN BOYS SHOES.

You would hardly believe it." sai.i a fashionable shoe clerk yesterday, but the swellest of our women customers are now invariably asking us for boys shoes. The masculine styles of women ; shoes no longer satisfy them. They must have a shoe made exactly like d mans. and so we sell twice as many boys shoes as formerly, and propor- tiOnately less of women's. What is the reason? Well. really, l cannot say excepting that it is a fad. As a mag ter of fact, l know that the boys shoe; are not really as comfortab ble, Tor theI cannot be gotten to fit as perfectly as those designed for women's feet, ant more than one of my fair customers complain of blisters and callOused feet but still they want the boys shoes. ar. insist upon the strap being left on il | the back"

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
An Illinois Newspaper Man Discusses
the Subject.

In response to your request for
s netting about rural free delivery.
particularly as far as it concerns or
affects the country newspaper, | shall
endeavor to give information, based
on personal experience, that may be
of interest to the country publisher.
The situation in Belvidere affords
a striking illustration of the work
ings of the rural free delivery sys-
tenn from newspaper viewpoint. Our
country people We're among the first
to have the advantages of rural de-
livery. The establishment of the first
route some years ago led to immedi-
ate requests for additional routs. The
departure won instant favor among
the farmers, and today Boone county
is perfect net work of rural routes,
perhaps being as thoroughly covered
as any county in thu state.
With rural delivery so general, and
! being located within two hours of
Chicago. from which city the great
metropolitan papers are received b!
early mail trains in time to be deliv
cred to patrons on rural routes the
same day, the Belvidere newspaper
publishers have had ample oppor
tunity to observe the effects of rura
delivery on the local newspapers
While the rural mail service has in
creased. the circulation in this count!
of the metropolitan dailieS, it has in
creased also the circulation of the
home papers. Possibly the Chicago
papers have received greater benefit
but why should the country publish
er care if his paper is also benefited

THE COLOR QUESTION.

Following the example set by Pres
ident Roosevelt, a prominent society
lady of Illinois has gone out of her
way to entertain two prominent col
ored people at dinner. Those who
imagine that the race problem is to
be solved or even materially influ-
enced by the acts of individuals are
very much mistaken.
The social recognition of the negro
by the whites would not add one par
ticle to his worth as citizen, nor
would it enable him to increase his
earning capacity or better his cOndi-
ton in the least. Those who oppose
social equality between whites and
blacks do not do so out of any hatred
for the cOlOred man, but because they
believe it would lower the standard
of the white race without any cores
ponding elevation of the colored
man. They are the true friends of
the negro because they are anxious
for him to advance in his own sphere
and in that sphere they are willing
that he should equal or excel the
achievements Of the white man, for
only by such independent develop
ment can the best that is in the race
be brought out.
In any attempt to mix the two
races socially the result is bound to
be friction and discOrG which is
sure to result disastrously for the
negro, for in any contest between
whites and blacks, the superior edu
cation and higher average intelli.
gence of the whites is sure to give
them the advantage. Like the presi
dent, the sOcity woman or Illinois
has the undoubted right to choose
her own company. so long as she
does not attempt to force her guests
mislead the ignorant portion of the
colored race without giving any real
help to any of them.
1t is notable fact that colorel
men of education, such as Booker T
Washington, do not desire or seek
social intercourse between the two
races. They recognize the fact that
what the colored man most needs is
opportunity for development and i'm.
provement in all the arts of civiliza-
ton, for they know that mis- social
position and influence will keep pace
with his material advancement

A TEMPERANCE LESSON.

The case of j. S. Keerl of Helena.
who was recently sentenced to life
imprisonment for the killing of
Thomas Crystal saloon keeper, is
one to excite pity. Mr.. Keerl is a
man Of education and refinement and
by profession is a civil engineer. Pos
sesSing marked ability and having a
devot d wife and family, he was in
a position to enjoy life in full meas
ure, but for one besetting sin, if an
uncomfortable desire for strong drink
can be called sin. Mr.. Keerl pos
sessed everything to make life worth
the living, but he was cursed with al
appetite which at times seemed to
overcome his reason and caused him
to so upon periodical sprees, in which
his nome and family and honor We're
forgotten. In one of these insane
periods Of drunkenness he shot to
death the man who had supplied the
liquor to cloud his disOrder2d brain.
For this crime h was convicted of
murder in the second degree and was
given the extreme penalty allowed
by law, life imprisonment. If ever d
case existed where justice might well
be tempered with mercy. this case
was such an one; but, whatever the
reason, mercy seems not to have ha(
any influence in the fixing of the pun
