INCIDENT IN CAREER OF
THE LATE E. ]. MIDDLE

In chronicling the death of E. j..
McDole, of this city, formerly travel
ing passenger agent for the B., c. Il.
& y. railway. and whose remains were
buried here last Sunday, the Water
loo Courier relates an interesting in
ciGent in his career:
HE was a fine-looking man, witty
and companionable. and used to make
frequent visits to Waterloo. 1t was
he who used to contest with the local
agents of the other roads in endeavor-
ing to secure the German Baptist
delegation to go over his line to their
annual meetings. 1t is recalled that
on one occasion Mr. McDole and the
other agents went to farm home
in Orange where barn was to be rails
ed. Mr.. McDole donned n pair of over
alls. blouse and a pleasant smile, and
climbed like a monkey all over the
frame of the structure, helping to
"heave-oheave" and do some lifting
also. The other fellows didn't know
how to take this sort of proceeding
and. if memory serves right, Mr.. Nc
Dole landed the delegation, securing
all the brethren over his line. He was
genial fellow well met, and had a
host of friends all along the old B.,
c. Il. q y. railway"

RIVER HOBO TRAVELLING ON
RAFT TO WORLDS FAIR

One Of the freaks of the river passed
the city Yesterday on his way to the
worlds fair. He travels on a crude
outfit made of three railroad ties held
together by pieces of boards nailed
across them. The fellow gives his
name as Jesse Bebout. His clothes are
tattered and torn and it is evident
that he has travelled long distance
ON the river, with his odd craft. He
knows something about mending tim
ware and he earns n subsistence partly
in this way, The actions of the man
indicate that he is unbalanced, though
he claims he was employed with a
gang in railroad construction work
until recently. about 80 miles north
of Clinton. He uses n piece of fence
board for an oar. has nothing to pro-
tect him from the waves and he sits
in the water all the time he is riding.
He declares he is Il king of hoboes.
He associates with no other class of
his kind and prefers 10 travel alone.
