Allison Criner Visits "old Massa's"
Folks in Monona County.
Onawa, Dec. 10.-Allison Criner, who
was born slave on the Criner plan
tation near Huntsville. Ala, has been
in this vicinity recently visiting his
'massa's" old folks, the Writings.
The late Judge C. E. Whiting and his
brother, Newell A. Whiting, left their
home on the Western Reserve in Ohio,
at an early day and went south, finally
settling down near Huntsville, Ala.
When they married the two daughters
of Mr. Criner, who owned a large PLAN
tation. and held many slaves, Julia
Whiting, now Mrs. M. B. Pullen. OF
Onawa; Charles F. Whiting, president
Pike, Of Whiting, were all born on
the old plantation in Alabama, where
Allison Criner, colored, who took his
old masters name, first saw the light.
Allison Criner came north when
boy to hunt up his old masters daugh-
tiers, and stayed for short time with
the Whiting family. Mrs. Whiting gave
him good advice and told him he ought
to go to work and get an education
and try and make something Of him
self. Allison took the advice and went
to work with will and is now teach
err in the normal school at Beaumont,
Tex, and doing we'll. During the meet
ings at the Christian church in Onawa
this week he was present and was ask
ed to make few remarks. He was
very much pleased and said that it was
the first time in his life that he ever
had been permitted to speak in white
church and that he appreciated it high
ly When he lived in the south the ne
groes We're not allowed to speak in
churches conducted by the whites.
He makes no complaint Of the treat
ment of negroes in the south and says
they are treated fairly well, but have
to keep their places, and that he finds
the easiest way for colored man is to
do it.
Criner says the wealthy and better
classes of people in the south do not
have any trouble with the negroes. and

hollering for help, but they wouldn't

His incoherent remarks and his gen
eral appearance indicated that he was
in a demented condition. He could
not talk nationally on any subject and
had been suffering from
this one form of mania for some time.
While In the city Jail he seemed to
think that he was still in the car of
which he spoke, and at frequent inter-
walls screamed as tho he feared
some one was going to harm him.

London.s whistles.

4 boy was charged at London po-
lice court the other day with blowing
a whistle in such a way as to cause
three policemen to come toward him
The fact that such a thing is possible
suggests the questions: How do the
police distinguish between a cab whise
tie and police whistle? What is there
to prevent any one from blowing q
whistle in such way as to call po-
Iiceman?
4 representative Of the Graphic who
put these questions to a high Official
of the city police learned that in the
matter Of attending to whistles; as With
his many other duties, the policeman
uses his discretion. Any shrill whistle
will attract a policeman, but such
whistle blown at night outside q res
taurant or any place where people COZ
cregate and cabs are wanted would noe
bring 4 policeman to the whistler. The
same whistle blown in precisely the
same way in the middle Of the city az
midday would bring a policeman GA
the scene at once.-London Graphic.

RAILROAD TRUST DISSOLVED.
Plan of Northern Securities Com
pany to Abide Courts De-
cisien is Announced.

New York. March 22.-Following a
day of great excitement in the stock
market and, numerous conferences
amongst the leading fnanciers the
new plan OF the Northern Securities
company was made public this after
noon. In substance it provides for a
stock dividend of SO points to be effect
ed by reduction of that amount in
the capital stock of the Securities
company. For every share Of Northern
Securities stock surrendered the COM
pany will deliver 1927 stock
of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company and s30.17 of the
Great Northern railway COM
pany. The shares of the Northern
Pacific company which were taken over
by Nothern Securities at 115 and
those of the Great Northern will be
distributed on this basis.
Official notice of the new plan,
which is signed by President Hill, and
under this date was sent to Northern
Securities stockholders in circular
letter which says: 1.-The company's
acquisition of Northern Pacific and
Great Northern shares wss made in
the full belief that such purchases
were in no wise obnoxious to any
laws Of the United States, an opinion
which received the approval of four
justices of State courts. In the suit
brought by the United States against
the right of the company to hold and
vote the shares, however, the majority
of the court, disregarding as Irrelevant
and beneficial interests of commerce,
was of the opinion that your company's
holding of the stocks of the two rail
way companies in itself constituted a
restraint of interstate commerce pro-
hibited by the so-called Sherman act
of 1890. Accordingly the railroad

LEFT MINDED PEOPLE.
The Way the BRAHMS Orders Are Az
nouaccd aEd Obeycd.

ECU2CCO AEQ OGcJcC.
Both sides Of the brain are capable
Of performing the duties of giving
commands to the limbs, but the orders
only come from one side, either from
the right or left, but if the side upon
which the speech center lies gets in
jured and is rendered incapable Of per-
forming it's duty then the other side
takes up the work, though it requires
some tine before it can do so properly.
Supposing man meets with bad
fall or accident Of any kind which
damages the speech center on the left,
he becomes dumb for the time being
Then the right side slowly learns how
to give orders, and the man guadually
regains power of speech after some
years, but in many cases he becomes
left handed because now the orders
from the brain are transmitted more
rapidly to tl,e left than to the right.
You have often experienced, sup
pose, the curious feeling that you have
done something or met some one at
some time or other when in reality you
have not done so at all.
Supposing the left side Of your brain
conceived the idea that you were 60
ing to tie your boot lace and that the
right side was, say, a thousandth part
of a second behindhand in grasping
the same idea, the result, when the
right side did grasp it, would be that
you would imagine that you had al
ready tied your boot lace.-Dr- With
