Pair of Monster Mules.

From the Fulton Gazette.
Uncle" Jacob Maddox and his son.
Irwin Maddox, OF McCredie township,
brought a pair of monster two-year.
old mules to Franks harness shop,
last Saturday, TO have the necessary
gear fitted on them so they could help
raise a crop this season. The old
gentleman has been limiting every now
and then that he had a couple OF extra
good ones out home, and when the
Gazette reporter got a glimpse OF them
II did not take but a second TO see that
"Uncle jake was fully justified in
claiming that he had a pair OF the best
In the State. One stands II hands |
inch, while her mate is an inch taller
and with their fine head and ears,
massive bodies, heayy-boned yet clean
limbs, and feet that resemble those Of
a horse, they certainly form a team
that for size, finish and all the points
that go TO make a good pair Of mules,
are unrivalled. Both are a mules
and were purchased when weanlings,
one having been raised by Field Afford,
OF Rails county, the other by Mrs.
Tigue, OF Audrain county, and "Uncle
Jake" distinguishes the Rails county
animal by styling her the best two
year-old mule he ever owned, yet to
the average judge she is not one whit
better than her partner. When it is
considered that these mules are not
three years old yet, and will keep on
growing until in their sixth year, it is
difficult to imagine what gigantic size
they will attain by the time they ar
rive at maturity. 1t took collars %
inches deep to fit their necks, and
when the reporter left they we're still
out the harness and punching
new holes in the straps in an effort to
make the new clothes big enough fer
the monsters

Hartman Lines to Take Up New
Plan for Safety Of
Passengers
TRIAL ON THE UNION PACIFIC.
Engineers and Station Agents Are 10
Share the Responsibility With
The Dispatcher

The Hartman lines have under con-
sideration a plan for the safety Of their
patrons which will undoubtedly be well
coined even If It does make the running
time Of trains somewhat longer
The scheme which Is to be inaugural
ed ON the Union Pacific has the effect
Of throwing the responsibility to a great
extent ON the shoulders Of the engineers
and station agents In the operation OF
trains. II includes a complete reylsal
OF the system by which trains are dis
patched and handled. Under the new
orders which have been issued every
eigneer Is to assume that the track
ahead is not clear, unless otherwise def
nitely notified by the dispatcher
Under the new order station agents
are 70 keep the danger signal displayed
day and night When an engineer APP
pIoaches he must whistle for orders
If the track Is clear through 10 the next
station the agent win lower his signal
and the train viii proceed without COM
ing 10 a full stop, II the signal Is not
lowered the engineer must pull up while
the conductor goes to the Office for or.
ders
These new orders viii have the effect
Of greatly relieving the responsibility
of the dispatcher, who now VIII simply
have to arrange the schedule and not
bear In mind so much the progress Of
the train, as he will receive reports Of
porgress from every station as hereto
fore but Il will be up to the agent to
take a hand in the situation,
While the new scheme will result In
some loss OF time In the running OF
trains, all danger OF collisions viii be
overcome. with stations at from four
to 10 miles apart It will be easy to OPP
crate the trains.
