There is every possibility of a
strike among the operators on the
Missouri Pacific system. The OPP
orators have made a demand for
recognition and increased pay.
The operators are now federated
with the other railroad labor or
CARNATIONS and a strike would like
ly prove disastrous to traffic.

derby on the street. They gave
bond for their appearance before

Monday. One of them was found

A number of young people out
driving in a surrey had a very
narrow escape at the railroad
crossing at the Arcadia depot Sum
day afternoon. They drove on
the crossing as the north-bound
fast mail came tearing down the
track. They got over the track
but the engine did not miss them
ten feet. 1t was, indeed, a close
rub.

much improved in size and general
interest during the past few
months.
H. A. Mansfield of st. Louis, who
has been conducting a commission
business here for several weeks,

is thought to be a more profitable
and larger field in Bunker Hill.
Mr.. Mansfield proved himself a
clever gentleman and made many
friends during his short stay here.

ploy the news boys on the trains,
have recently opened lunch stands

ever, that the travel thus far has
by no means been up to expecta-
tons. The rush will sure come
later, though.
