Much Needed Improvement.

There is much dissatisfaction with
the waiting room accommodations
at the union depot and many express
sions Of disgust are heard from peo-
pie who are Obliged to spend any
time there.
The colored waiting room is very
small-entirely inadequate to accom-
modate the cOlOred patrons of the
road-and many colored people are
forced into the white waiting room,
Then there is but one ticket window
and whites and blacks crowd about
it just before the arrival Of trains.
The white people are entitled to bet
ter accommodations. and they would
not object should ticket window be
provided exclusively for blacks.
The News believes that if the mat
ter was properly called to the atten-
ton of the A. c. L. officials that the
needed Improvements would be
made.

THE PRINCE OF BUFFERS.
His Resourcefulness Saved His Mis-
tress In an Awkward
Situation.


Tho late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
Of the lawn mower, was great admirer
of witty and alert persons.
At dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said OF q famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work a. butler. he made an ex-
cellent butler. Let me give you an in
stance of the sort Of work he did.
Ellis mistress was giving dinner party
of Il covers on a certain evening. One
of the courses consisted of scalloped oy-
sters in silver shells. The set of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be just enough to 60
around.
"The butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one Of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de-
cline il. Calmly she let il rest before
her. II she started to eat it, one guest
would be short of oysters. What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously. Che
took up her fork. She was actually about
TO plunge it into the dainty shell. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, flew to her
side and bent over her respectfully:
Pardon me, madam he murmured,
but you said / was to remind you that
the doctor forbade your eating oysterds
on any eccount."

HAPPINESS EVERYWHERE.

WAS happiness everywhere. and that
heavcn was right here in this greatest
German city. There Is laughter every

by, escorted by his body quad, on the

he would say, Zach, Colt, but they are
daisies, and they would fight for the
Fatherland with the last breath in

Cure to STAY Cured.

Warello, Iowa, Sept. 18th, Especially
One Of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa County is that Of Mrs.
Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was
in bee for eight months, and when she
was able to sit up she was all drawn up
on one side, and could not walk across
the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her.
Speaking of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after I was in bed for eight months, and
know the cure was complete, for that was
three years ago, and have not been
down since. In four weeks from the time
my garden. Nobody can know how
thankful am to be cured or how much
feel owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on. the Md
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of the sui.
