Who Is TO Blame?


NOudX, Lib, AVtC. Oh AVVO.
Editor COIGtx Chronicles:
On last Tuesday, 18th Inst. had
occasion to 20 to katelnnd by rail.
On returning l went to the depot
about 5 O'Clock In the evening. The
train was late. 1t was a very cold
evening and l had to stand out In
the cold for some time. The agent
came about 7:30 O'Clock and bought
my tickets. As the train was not In
hearing at 10 O'Clock, the agent In
formed ME he would have to leave
and put out the lights, and l had to
get out and the depot was locked up.
1t would not have been 40 bad ON
myself. but had my two little boys
and my brothers little boy with me,
and 1t did not look right to subject
them to the cold weather. This IL
not the first time / had to walt out
side the waiting room at this station
until late In the night to catch n train.
Is 1t right to sell tickets to passengers
and then put them out OF the depot
before the train arrives? Think not.
The depot should be properly kept or
discontinued. II 1t had been cold and
raining and / had had all my family
there, l suppose It would have l'een
the same. don't know who Is to
blame in this matter, but 1t Is true
nevertheless.
Yours truly, ]. p. LEWIS.

Roosevelt has destroyed Odelrs
chances of becoming the Republican

Chairman Cortelyou, too, is full of
ambition for the future. He is from
New York and is looking towards the
White House some day. He thinks that

he will be in line for the favor of his
