STRAW HATS
Have Actually Arrived After a
Long DELAY.

Straw hats are almost ready to
"bloom. !" The local merchants
have received stocks Of the head
gear and have placed their dis
play. Should this weather keep
up for a few more days the shop
windows will be filled with the
latest Eastern styles. The mer-
chants have been experiencing
considerable disappointment on
account of the backwardness OF
spring, and with zero weather up
until April was nearly over, the
inducements for bringing out the
displays were net great.
Now, however, there is every
indication that modest spring has
come to stay awhile, and the lat
est proof of this is that the mos,
quito and the catbird are here
again. After few warm days
man, wants something light to pro,
tect his head from the sun and in
a few days he will be hunting
around for some kind of STRAW
pile"
The hat that will be the most
popular will be the sailor 81
Yachting hat. There are several
styles of these. The most fetching
is a hat made of japanese braided
straw which has fange rim and
a telescope crown. 1t is beauty
and is soft and easy on the head
The other sailors are principally
of the stiff straw style. Some
hats are made of what is known
as Milan straw and some as split
braids.
Panamas will not be worn to
any extent. However, those who
already possess them will proba'
bly, make use of them. The mer,
chants are expecting to sell very
few and have consequently laid
in but a small stock of these hats
The most stylish of these is a
square crown hat with crease
running from front 10 hack on The
crown. The reason for the de,
cline of Panamas is that they have
become vulgarized by cheap imi!
tations.

An Open Letter.

From the Chaplin, S. c., News:
Early in the spring my wife and
I were taken with diarrhoea and
so severe were the pains that we
called a physician who prescribed
for us, but his medicines failed to
give any relief. A friend who
had a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy on hand
gave each of us a dose,
and we at once felt the effects. I
procured a bottle and before u.s.
ing the entire contents we were

Roads Ownership

CHICAGO, Oct. AT the annual
meeting of the Chicago & Alton here
today J. H. Moore, d. G. Reid and
Robert Mather We're elected directors
in place of F. F. Winston, c. II. Chap
pelle and Mortimer L. Shift. The
meeting was entirely harmonious. The
new directors were chosen by unani-
nous vote. The election brought out
the fact that the Rock Island, of which
the new directors are representatives,
came into the meeting with voting
strength of $4,000 shares out of a
total of $50, 900 shares.
j. III. Moore stated after the election
that the road would be operated in
harmony with the present manage
ment and that no change in the active
staff would be made during the next
year at least.
There was but one objection to the
proceedings. A shareholder, Julius A.
Johnson, who owns one hundred
shares of the common stock, objected
to the passing of a resolution sane
tioning the work of the executive COM
mittee and the directors during the
past year.
The report for the year ended June

$11, 425, 953, an increase of 81, 354 ISL;

Bad crops along the line of the Min

as the reason for the decrease in the
gross earnings of the road. In the an

1T was also shown that the operating
expenses were lighter during the year
and so the total showing is not as bad
as it would have been had the ratio of
expenditure been kept up.
The final showing after dividends
have been paid, in addition to all other
charges, is a deficit of $51,922.

MICE FIGHT TRAIN
Frogs Not Only Obstacle to
Swift Service

That was an awful butchery of
frogs on the Omaha the other night"
said w. B. Dixon, of the Milwaukee
yesterday, as he laid down copy of
TIL Globe and lodged a piece of
falling scantling that had been dis
lodged in making the repairs in the
offices of the road.
Eyes, sir, it was fierce. I have just
been figuring out how many frogs it
would require to stall train that did
not use any sand, and then how many
innocent little lives would have to be
sacrificed where 2S7 pounds of sand
was used under the drivers. It would
amount to a terrible total My figures,
which l am willing to back for any
part of $500, show definitely that the
number would be 467,213, and figuring
that every frog was crushed singly-
that is, each frog occupies an individual
space on the rails of IA inches, the to-
tai would be miles 50 rods yards GA
inches.
"You can see for yourself that the
tracks must have been pretty slippery.
Nov on the Milwaukee road night
before last there was really a remark
able occurrence. One of the divisions
in Wisconsin where we pride ourselves
on the speed of the trains is the one
between Portage and La Crosse. The
train was bowling along at seventy
eight miles an hour and all was going
well when the conductor felt a sensa-
ton like the application of the air
brakes. Slowly the big train came to
stand and as the stop was not at
place scheduled for even flag, the
crew jumped to the ground and began
hasty inspection.
Nothing could be found in the dark
to account for the sudden stoppage
until the engineer grabbed lantern
and crawled under the locomotive.
There he found the cause, good and
plenty.
'tIt appeared that the train had run
across migration of field mice and the
little beasts tried to fight the big en-
CINE as it Numbered down on them
with the result that some 10000 OF
them were slaughtered.
HE picked 1853 little bodies from
the axles of the drivers where they had
been thrown in showers by the sweep
of the train and had stuck on the oily
steel. The centrifugal force exerted on
the mice was so strong that they grav-
itated in clusters against the journals
and the gradual slipping of their tails
into the journals had resulted in bring
ing the great train to a stand.
This teaches us that the small
things should not be overlooked and
guess it will hold you for while"
