A Ride ON Tine FAST mail
Ii the Cab Between Chicago, St. Paul and
Minneapolis---How Fast Trains
Are Handled.

ish haze, but the speed constant
ly increased. The big locomotive
slowed down for nothing. She
took sharp curves like a race
horse and lunged into the long
tangents like a singed cat. Eng
ineer Sulliven didn't talk much.
He was pretty busy watching the
track. When he did talk it was
to the point.
"Forty-fve miles out of Mil
waukee. includin the trip through
the yards and suburbs, where we
had to slow down, in forty-six
minutes" he said.
He dropped to the ground and
oiled up almost on the run. Two
minutes elapsed, the big machine
was ready to go again, but the
conductor appeared out of the
gloom and remarked that a jour
nal on a mail car had run hot.
Hot journals are not serious in
themselves, but six minutes cliI :
ped from the schedule of a train
which must run while in motion
at a rate of slightly more than IS
miles an hour for 408 miles, is a
very important matter. Engineer
Sullivan swore softly and drown
ed his wrath in copious applica.
tons of more oil to the big eng
ines stufing boxes. Then he
mounted the towering cab again
and the race was on for the Sec
ond time.
Woodland grinned.
Well run like a pup with a tin
can tied to it's tail now," he con.
fded.
We did. Mile posts and tele.
graph poles became one long pro.
cession, with scarcely percept.
ible distances between them. The
air rushed through the open cab
windows like a cyclone, and the
mail cars, trailing behind, rocked
and swung on their springs like
so many drunken men. The pace
was tremendous.
Ones sensations were much
like those when the horses ente,
the last eighth on a fast track and
100000 people in the grand stand
begin to cheer. The speed grad
ually increased from 81 to SO
then to 81, 66, II, "a and rs miles
an hour; then, on the crest of ;
"hill," the summit of an up an6
down grade, it suddenly jumped
to 81 and then to 90 miles an hour
"a mile and a half a minute, anl
one felt an insane desire to yanl
the throttle away out and see i
it were not possible to make thre,
miles a minute.
It was a pace that made tn
government mail officials grin
but it was no pace for sedatt
burghers and business men.

1t is significant that the one
train which makes the Chicago
st. Paul run in ten hours, carries
no passengers.
To ride on it is a privilege &C.
CURED by few. Yet a journey
on this train, which carries none
but government mail clerks and
it's crew, is an experience, espec-
tally if the journey be made on
the "freman's side" of the huge
locomotive which pulls it. 1t is
a revelation of what fast passeng-
err service means and a liberal
education in appreciation of the
cool nerve and absolute compet-
ency of the men who run fast
trains.
The fast mail over the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
leaves Chicago every night of the
year with from twenty to fifty
tons of mail aboard and reaches
st. Paul every morning with it's
burden of letters and packages
in time for transfers to other
trains to the Pacific coast to con-
meet with the mail boats, north
into the Dominion, east and west
into adjoining states and radiat-
ing over a dozen lines of railway
into every nook and Granny of the
Northwest.
If one asks why the fast mail
carries no passengers he is an
swered that there are other train
which do that work. Another
reason is apparent after a jour.
ney on the head end" with the
two cinder-marked and grease.

that pulls it.
Ten-hour service means speed.
! On a glorious night not long age
the fast train pulled out of Mil
waukee on time, swinging along
at an easy gait through the maze
of green, white and red switch

The erection of 80

the indefatigable eff

ship, was adjudged insane by
Judges E. B. Welch and G. T.
johnson at a special term of the
county court Tuesday, and was
ordered sent to the state hospital
for the insane at st. Joseph as q
county patient.
The witnesses in the case
were DR.. b. Hughes of Keytes-
vile and Harris brother-in- law,
G. w. Scott.
The patient was taken to St.
Joseph by Deputy Sheriff S. j.
Shaughnessy Tuesday after
noon.
Harris has a wife and two
children. He was sent to the
state hospital for the insane al
Nevada from Monroe county
about IL years ago where he was
discharged as cured after re-
naming there some six months
His insanity is of a harmless
character, but his family feared
he might become violent, and for
that reason took the step they
did as they think he can soon
be cured. At times he is ration
al, and he would then realize his
demented condition and ex-
press desire to undergo
treatment at a hospital for the
insane.
He is an incessant talker, and
among other things, said he
would be preacher were it not
for his love for horse-racing.
The expenses in the Harris in
sane case were allowed by the
court as follows:

NUMBER II
A Fruit Farm.

1A0 0uAtOr VI Guo SOUNlEk u8U
the pleasure of visit to G.. w.
Steiman's fruit farm, 3 1.2 miles
southwest of Keytesville, Thurs.
day of last week. Mr.. Steiman
is one of the best posted horti-
culturists in Charlton county.
He not only has q theoretical
knowledge of that interesting
and profitable industry, but is
successfully putting theories in
to practice.
His fruit farm contains 70
acres, some 40 acres of which is
planted to apples, and nearly all
of the remainder to cherries,
peaches, pears, plums, currants,
gooseberries, raspberries, straw
berries, etc. He has between
three and four acres of straw.
berries, which consist of IL
different varieties that have pro-
duced a large yield this season.
Mr.. SJeiman is ably assisted in
the care and cultivation of his
fruit ranch by Lon Eddines, and
he and Mrs. Eddings are full
partners with Mr.. Steiman in the
strawberry crop. Besides dis
posing of great many straw
berries to local consumers they
also sent a lot to the worlds fair
on which they were awarded four
first premiums as follows: Aro-
ma and Havelin varieties, five
best commercial varieties and
five varieties of best quality.
This proves conclusively what
Charlton county can do in the
way of strawberry raising.
Mr.. Steiman's fruit trees are
all young yet and none of the
apple trees have begun to bear.
Most of these are Gano, Cham
pion, Black Ben Davis and
Jonathan, all winter fruit, and
the Wealthy, an early fall
apple.
In order to attain the highest
degree of perfection for his fruit
Mr.. Steiman is now laying a lot
of tiling, the systematic arrang.
ment of which will make the
ground light, airy and loamy,
and free from excess of water,
which are among the chief essen
tials for successful fruit t-raising.
Proper cultivation and pruning,
however, must not be neglected.
Not only did we enjoy being
shown over Mr.. Steiman's fruit
ranch, but one of the most pleas
ing features of our trip was an
excellent dinner prepared by
Mrs. Eddings. 1t was one of
that kind of good country din
ners that makes a hungry editor
regret his inability to eat enough
to last him a month.
We were also presented with
gallon of the finest, most lus-
cious Strawberries we have tast-
ed this season, which was top.
ped off with a couple of new SUBJ
scribers, Mrs. Eddings and
Henry Steiman.
What greater happiness and
contentment could an editor, or
a king for that matter, ask for
one day?

a Stag Party.

There are stag parties and stag
parties, but the real thing and
genuine function in that line was
given by Wm.H. Glasscock at his
attractive country home, three
miles northeast of Brunswick,
Friday night of last week.
Mr.. Glasscock is a widower,
hence was both host and stag,
and his lively department on the
occasion of his stag party con-
vinced his guests to a man that
he was the 'sstaggiest stag"
present, and one who never does
anything by halves.
He has pretty, ll-arrang-
ed, five-room rural domicle, re-
Gently completed, and all he
needs to make life glad sweet
song is a woman who will con-
sent to share his joys and sor-
rows. We know this is true be-
cause Mr.. Glasscock says 80.
The COURIER is not in the match
making business, but we have a
right to deal in facts.
Perhaps dozen representa-
tives of the sterner sex were the
recipients of Mr.. Glasscock's
hospitalities Friday night, and to
say that they were royalty enter
tanned does not begin to do the
accession justice. Those who
were kept away by the threaten
ing weather missed more than
half of their lives.
"Uncle" John McNown of
Brunswick and his fiddle were
there and very materially en-
hanced the pleasures of the
evening by the rendering of
several lively airs, most of them
of the good old fashioned kind.
The irresistible music produce
ed some lively dancing, ranging
from the clog dance to the qua
driile, but the distinguished host
easily proved himself to be the
most expert in tripping the light
fantastic toe, notwithstanding
the guests were inspired to put
forth their best efforts by first
partaking of some pleasant,
aromatic decoction Mr.. Glass
cock, himself, had made five
years previous from peaches.
We believe he called it ''peach
brandy" and there is no doubt
about it's being ''a peach"
After the soiree dansante tooth
some ham sandwiches, straw
berries and ice.cream of the
most palatable vintage and
cakes were served in lavish
abundance.
The downpour of rain, which
began between II and IL o clock,
compelled the guests to stay all
night, and the longer they staid
the longer they wanted to stay,
but the stern realities of life de-
manded their attention and they
departed for their respective
homes about 5 O'Clock Saturday
morning. All declared Mr..
Glasscock to be an all-round
good fellow and prince of en-
tertainers.
"Women and widows will
make note of this item, and
see that Mr.. Glascock has hos
tess to grace his home at his
next party.

WIRE PRODUCTS
COMING IN

The Foley Lumber Co. has received
its first invoice of the wire products
now coming in from the American
Steel & Wire Co.
Seven car loads have arrived and
will be stored in the sheds at the
lumber yard. and in the meantime
large sheds are being built in the
south yard for the reception of the
product.
Competing mills in the east induced
the railroads to make reduction in
western bound freight rates from 70
to 45 cents per cwt., which enabled
them to ship a lot of surplus stuff
out here and sell it at a very low
price to its newly found customers.
The Gould lines promptly met the
cut in freight rates to enable the C. f,
& |. Co. to get back at the easterners
and some new and interesting devel-
opments are to be looked for before
long. 1t is said that Pueblo made
products will be sold in the St. Louis

EVERYBODY is INTER

1t behooves every man in the

Everybody is interested in the
growth and the prosperity of the
city, and the workingmen are as
much benefited by the promotion
OF enterprises as are the men of
any other occupation. They are
the first to feel the effect of a
slump in business affairs, in the
affairs of manufacture and smeIt-
ing, and it is, therefore, to their
best interests to see to it that
things are kept running.

Use Printed Envelopes

Every person whether engaged in
business or not, should have his name
and address printed on the envelopes
he uses, as requested by the postotlice
department. This would often do
away with much vexatious delay and
worry, and in the case of a letter
being mailed without postage the
sender would be notified at once in
stead of the letter being forwarded
to the dead letter office there to be
opened and the name of the writer
learned. A great deal of time and
trouble could be thus be saved. The

responsible for loss to the state
OF from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
will be brought to face prosecu-
ton or neglect OF their official du-
ties by State Treasurer Whitney
Newton, Besides this, hundreds
OF saloon keepers i'll the state will
find that the licenses under which
they are doing business are void,
and, besides having to pay their
license fee into the state treasury,
they will be liable to a heavy fine.
The state has always had more
or less trouble in the collection of
these licenses" said State Treas
urer Newton, "and now we intend
to go after them and see that we
get them. Some way or other the
city and county clerks are negli-
gent and the only thing for us to
do is to go after them. City
and county licenses issued by such
clerks are void and should not be
issued unless the applicant shows
the paid state license. There are
hundreds OF saloon keepers doing
business in the state illegally.
We intend to go after them, and,
besides making them pay their Ii
cense, we will make them pay a
fine as provided by law, amount
ing to about $Ioo."
