Lake Shore Passengers Are Made as
Comfortable as In Their Own Homes.
The Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern railway took especial pains this
year tn provide it's thru trains on
Christmas day with all Accommodations

that those who were compelled to be
away from their own homes on the
holiday. and were travelling on one of
the famous Lake Shore New York
Central limited trains, might have
everything as nice as they would had
they been sitting around their own
firesides.
The general passenger department
had the Inauguration of the holiday
conveniences in charge, and on the
different fast trains, including the
Twentieth Century and Lake Shore
limiteds. the dining, library and obser-
vation cars were profusely decorated
with cut flowers. including choice pearl,
LaF'rance. Mermet, Jack and American
beauty roses carnations Of all ,colors,
holly, mistletoe, palms, ferns and other
seasonable foliage. The interior OF the
cars was most beautiful, and passen-
gers, lounging about in the big leather
upholstered easy chairs, enjoying the
latest books from the library, or the
current issues of the magazines, stand-
ard periodicals and daily newspapers,
made the appearance most homelike IN
every particular.
Special efforts were also made In the
way of dining car service. and the
finest Christmas dinners Imaginable
were enjoyed. A special menu card
with holly leaf fastened to the outer
cover. beneath the roads greeting OF
IA Merry Christmas" to its passengers
was furnished for the day, and given
to the passengers as souvenirs. Judg-
ing from the favorable comments that
were made by the passengers the eff
forts Of the passenger department were

County Bridges Will Be Shown
to Be In Most Satisfactory
Condition
FUND USUALLY SHOWS DEFICIT
While Work Of Checking and Invoice
Is Not As Vet Completed, Indica-
tions Are Nice Little Surplus Will
Be Shown Complete Invoice Is
Being Made by Superintendent.

All Indications point toward there
being very nice surplus in the county
bridge fund this year, at the close of
the years business on December 81.
The figures are not yet obtainable, as
the work of checking and invoicing is
not quite completed. Superintendent
Jackson is looking after the work Of
the invoice personally, and is being as
sisted by County Stenographer Allen.
A complete inventory Of everything
pertaining to the county bridges is be-
ing made, showing the material on
hand as it is scattered about the entire
county.
The fact that there will be a surplus
shown in the fund Is indeed encourage
ing. for usually there is a small de-
felt. The bridges Of the county are
In good shape, in much better condt-
ton. in fact, than nearly all other
counties Of the state. Much work has
been put upon them, and repairs are
looked after promptly, as soon as they
are begun to be needed. Supervisor
Arney is chairman Of the bridge COM
mittee and will file complete re-
port of the committee with the board
at the annual meeting next week.

man said that I could for $3.50 extra.
There was. would not pay $3.50 to
ride seventeen or eighteen miles when
I already had my ticket. / said to the
man: Have not already paid for my
ticket? Has not the company agreed
to deliver me at my destinations
II was pretty mad already, but 1t
made me more mad when the man at
the station after the California train
pulled out turned off the lights and
turned off the steam in the station. I
told him that I would sue the COM
pany for damages and he said that he
thought ] had good grounds, but that
he had his orders to turn off the steam
and lights, and could do nothing else.
When daylight came could see by
the billboard that another train would
be thru at o'clock. When 1t
came in 1t was the fast mail and did
not carry any passengers. The next
train was at IL O'clock noon 1t
was after 1 when 1t finally came and
nearly before got to Marshalltown.

enjoyed most delightful and pleasant
Christmas gathering. With warm.
delightful breeze and a typical winter
day on the Gulf of Mexico, those who
have been at the little town Of Fairhope
gathered together in the woods and
spent Christmas day picnicking. The
day resembled more the Fourth Of July
than Christmas, for there the children
celebrate with fire crackers, canon
crackers and Roman candles, much al
they do here on independence day.
Those who celebrated the day in the
picnic gathering were DR.. and Mrs.

Looking Out for His Job
New York Iimes.1

In the smoking rooms at Weisbaden
there came up one of those discussions
as to the best form of government,
which are never any the less earnest
because they happen to be impromptu.
Among those who had the most to
say, was, as usual, the young Ameri-
can, loud in his defense of democracy,
and this arguer finally noticed a tall,
gray-beared gentleman sitting near.
who smiled continually, as he followed
the conversation with evident interest.

To step taken almost through mere
curiosity Mrs. Busse to-day owes the
return Of her sight to DR.. p. Chester
Madison Of 80 Dearborn Street. Mrs.
Busse had met such encouragement
from some Of the most prominent ocu-
lists in the leading cities of the United
States that she had almost given up
hope. She placed no faith in DR.. Madi-
son because he advertised, but came to
the Office for an examination. While
the cure may seem wonderful one to
some Of the people who are likewise
afflicted, yet investigation shows that
they are being effected weekly by him.
When people are fully aware of this
fact 1t seems strange that they will al
low their eyes to go without treatment.

of delay that she has written the fol-
