Lincoln, DEL, oct. l3' i9u9,
DEAR EDITOR Our Lincoln reporter has
kindly chronicled the report as to our late
1 NJ. e. business meeting concerning church
edlhce.
Possibly a few would care to hear OF the first
seed owing:

very like Il baby, young and helpless. 1t
must grow and cut its chimney teeth, for at
/ that date not a chimney could il boast of aside

I Clendanie lives). Mr.. James wilkins, father
OF our citizen Slrs. Robt, Hazard, occupied
said house Three stovepipes pufed forth
their assurance Of inhabitatiOn, from as
many "shanties"
As the Methodists are often the pioneer in
religious matters, presiding elder met with
a handful Of enthusiastic men on the date
above mentioned. Place Of meeting, shanty
boarding house. Object, first movement to-
ward building a church. Result, building
committee appointed; five hundred dollars
pledged
In few months thereafter Ladies Aid So
clety was organized, and much work was
done in preparation for church fair. The
fair came aud crowds gathered. The Town
| Hall was the scene oflif and gayety. The
usual pious methods OF extraction were resOr-
ted TO. Beside the sale offerings Of various ar
ticles from.aprons to night-caps articles use

sey tent in one corner, and "Madam Antwig-

called pretty girls were busy; one would sell

plunging into a "grab-bag" At a postofiice
high rates OF postage guaranteed you a letter
It might be a dun from your wash woman;or
one from your sweetheart. Both send them.
At the luncheon counter you were sure Of
something extra, when yot got your bilD. A
slice of the "ring cake" was % cents. The
tea, or coffee, was OF unusual quality, because
the madam would seize a White COW by the
tail and pour milk from her mouth into your
cup. A monument several feet high, covered
with tiny shells and stones, with pictures on
each of It's four sides, "a. Lincoln's among
them(, was voted of at 25 cents per vote A
Milford physician won It.
A number of Milford's people patronized
the Fair. Some Of the yeomanry came in.
But some persons object to buying what they
don't want,and paying two prices for II, even
TO build meeting house. And after the fair,
there was a surplus of stock In hand. Our
worthy President had bill for materials
furnished. The bill was astounding, but there
was more to follow. Her master said the

EXPECT BIG CORN CROP

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The gov.
eminent reports from the leading
corn producing sections indicate that
the condition of that grain is by nc
means uniform. Reports tell of de-
lay in planting on account of excess
i've moisture, yet the final acreage
does not appear to have been much
reduced on that account, and in many
states the outlook is bright for a
large harvest, provided weather con-
ditions are not below average during
the remainder of the season. TIL.
expense of the yield will be heavy
because of the extensive replanting
necessary. but the quantity should
be large. since only a small area has
been abandoned or other crops sub
stituted.

wheels. So the train was eclat as
well as rapid.
The route lay over the Lake Shore
and New York Central lines 965 miles
to New York. An 1S-hour schedule
was set for the train.
The Lake Shore people having de-
cided to do some fast running made
route with a heavy train. but to prove
that they could make it in 16 hours
If they cared to. They proved it,
The train, except over the first di-
vision, consisted of five heavy Pull
mans and engines of the largest size.
The drive wheels of the latter were
over six feet in diameter. The weight
of the train exceeded 500 tons.
1t was up to the firemen to main
tain steam pressure of 200 pounds
and they did it. They furnished
power that made possible a rate OF
speed nnheard of before this trip
The weather was ideal for the run
being clear and calm. sand the trair
went throughout without a skip OF
break
There was waving of handkerchiefs
and cries of Good luck" as the trair
passed out of Chicago station. The
viaducts over the tracks were black
with people eager to see the get
away in the fight for a record.
At every crossing there were more

Aboard the train you hear some
interesting facts about this fast run
ner.
The locomotive on the Lake Shore
half of the route is known as the
Atlantic type 1t carries 10 tons OF
coal, G000 gallons of water and
weighs 100000 pounds.
The engineers were chosen in line
of seniority and their pay is about
s175 "A month.
What everybody wants to know is
what precautions are taken on fast
train like this for the safety of the
passengers.
First the general managers and as
sistant superintendents get together
and carefully arrange the schedule,
changing the time OF every incon-
venient train. shifting. sije-tracking
and generally clearing the road

watch is inspected daily.


Nothing which human ingenuity
can provide against can go wrong
under these conditions. No explana-
ton is necessary. The time table sets
forth the new arrivals and depart
ures. The train dispatcher is at the
end of telegraph wire, knowing ex-
actly the position of each train in his
division, ready to amend the schedule
whenever anything does go wrong
That is the simple method of rail-
reading. Plan it all out; order it in
enforcement. Have somebody always
in communication with every part of
his section of the road and knowing
what is doing on it. Then only dis
obedience and willful neglect can
bring about a mishap. And disobedi-
ence or neglect means dismissal as
the lightest punishment The Jisci-
pline of a railroad is of steel, as it's
rails are.

Heart disease never grows better

to assist it's recovery, it will surely
lead to death, through some chronic

experience that have been devoted
to railroading, this train as to speed
stood as the greatest result.
1t was the fastest thing. of the
distance, that had been fashioned and
managed by men since the sun shone
out on the world. No human being
had ever Travelled over 900 miles at
the speed at which the Lake Shore
flyer carried its passengers.
This first trip was race against
time, and people all along the route
watched 1t with enthusiasm.
There was a crowd at Chicago to
inspect the train before its departure

The train remained there until

From Elkhart to Toledo was a
