HEADED FOR GULF OF MEXICO
ROCK ISLAND GETS NECESSARY
SUBSIDIARY LINES.
And VIII Ultimately Reach New Or
leans-OtheF Roads Going
That Way.

The St Louis GIobe-DemOcrat Of
Monday. says: That the Rock Island
system is soon to have its outlet to the
gulf is shown by the recent consolida-
ton under the name OF the Rock Is
land, Arkansas and Louisiana Of three
OF the subsidiary companies in Arkan-
sas and Louisiana The company is
organized under the laws Of Arkansas
with $I5,OOO,OOO capital stock The
companies consolidated were the Lit
tide Rock and Southern, the Arkansas
Southern, recently acquired by the
Rock Island, and the Arkansas South
ern Extension company.
The Little Rock and Southern Is
under construction from a point on
the Rock Island at TraswOod, Ark,
southeast to CrOsset, 1O7 miles, with
a branch thirty-five miles from Sum
merville to EIdOrado, when cOnnec-
ton is made with the Arkansas South
ern extending to Winfield, La, 1O1
miles Under the charter Of the Ar
kansas Southern Extension company
an extension is built from WINFIELD to
Alexandria on the Red river, not far
from its confluence with the BIissis-
sippL The articles Of incorporation
permit the company to operate from
Alexandra to a point on the Mississip-
pi to New Orleans and Baton Rouge,
TO the western boundary OF the state
and direct south to the gulf.
All the big systems are either seek
ing outlets to the gulf or increasing
their present facilities for handling
the gulf grain export business. The
Colorado Southern, under the YOa-
kum-Hawley regime, is pushing for
the gulf and James J. Hill is making

AFTERMATH OF THE COURT
Many Gases Threshed Out Besides the
Criminal Ones.

The district court adjourned Thurs
day afternoon Just before adjourn
ment, the court disposed Of two Grim
inaI cases which were brought before
it during the last hours. Clyde A
Brown was entenced 20 one to five
years in the Hutchinson refOrmatOrys
and T. Irons to one 70 five years in
the Lansing penitentiary. The dis
elimination as to the place Of cOnhne-
ment was on account Of the ages Of
the young men, and il Irons had given
his age as one year younger he would
have doubtless received the benefit Of
the Hutchinson reformatOry- Both
were cases Of grand larceny stealing
from the railroad
In the case OF John Hartzler against
J. ". Smith, county treasurer, the
petition was denied without prejudice
Mr.. Hartzler, as attorney for Good
land in this particular case, sought to
secure an alternate writ Of mandamus
to compel County Treasurer Smith 10
pay to GOodIand a sum Of money sew
eraI hundred dollars in all, claimed by
the attorney as the property Of Good
land by reason Of the accrued interest
on delinquent taxes collected, none Of
which interest had ben disbursed into
the account Of the city. It seems that
meal grounds, and that a case possibly
lies against the county If a suit TO re-
cover the money be brought
The suit brought mUrc Than a year
ago by Gertrude Dewey against the
G. p. Dewey estate, to recover an in
terest in the land holdings Of the
Dewey Land and Cattle company in
this county, was dismissed An agree
ment had probably been reached by
the cOntending parties.
The suit Of Jane CuIlins VS.. Joseph
CuIIins, divorce, was continued, the
court allowing the plaintiff temporary
alimOny-
The liquor Injunction cases against
John DOckerty was continued; against
Carrie CoIer, continued; against B. E
Coffin, passed; against A L CuIlins,
made permanent

BoYs Start Fire.

James Cochran, who lives in Good
land, but who owns a half section Of
land in Wallace county was down to
his place, thirty miles southwest Of
GOOdland last Friday, and was being
assisted in taking down a windmill by
T. F. Cutler, a neighbOr- They saw
smoke near Mr.. Cutters place and
hurried to the scene Two Of Mr.. Cut
ler's boys were playing near a barn
and hay stack They started a fire
which burned up ten tons Of hay and
only with the greatest difficulty and
hard work, was the barn saved. The
propensity Of lads to play with
matches and initiate their elders at
smoking has caused many fires and
much loss OF property. Children
should be sternly cautioned as to the
danger OF playing with matches.

Topeka, Nov. 23.-In Topeka there
lives George Washington Dusenberry,
who IS Especial sleuth for T r Gar
yer, assistant attorney general, who is
making some sort OF an effort to close
the Topeka joints. Mr.. Dusenberry is
energetic In fact so much so that
already a candidate for a state Office
sbuns Topeka for fear Of being called
as a witness against a jOintist-
But Mr.. DusenberTy is full Of dis
satisfaction at those who are advo-
eating point closing in that they seem
willing to have others look up evid-
ence while they sit at home and com
plain bitterly about those who break
the law and the slowness Of officers
to punish the violaters.
1T is just this way" said the up
tO-date Sherlock Holmes, 1T amt no
trouble for these temperance folks to
come and tell you how the Joints are
running and as to best way to get
evidence, but when it comes to askin'
them to get the evidence themselves
they run like turkeys and tell you that
they don't want TO get mixed up in
the nasty fight
We'll, sir, I met one Of these fell
lows the other day. He is a deacon in
a church and is a fellow whose sup
port We counted on. In fact, I have
$50 in his church. He came to me
with a big story about the joints and
one or two places in particular. He
knew ali about the prOprietors and
how the law was violated. I asked
him TO go before the assistant attOr-
ney general and testify and he said
he could not do that as it would hurt
him in his business. I says: Can't
you get a couple of fellows toget this
evidence for me?' He was scared
again and backed out. Well, sir, that
disguised me so that I just says to
him; just like this: If I had that
$50 out Of your damned old church,
you and your church could go to
hell 80

THEODORE, JR., BUNGED UP.
In the Harvard-YaIe Football Game
He Got Hurt.

In the HarVard-Eale Football Game
He Got Hurt
Boston, Nov. 25.-The facts about
the injuries received by Teddy ROOse-
welt, Jr., in the Harvard-YaIe fresh
man football game a week ago, when
the son Of the president was so badly
hurt that he had to be helped from
the field before the game was finished,
leaked out yesterday
It was very noticeable when Teddy
appeared at Rotations today at Cam
bridge that the slender young student
had lost the dash, snap and spirit that
heretofore has characterized him, not
only in his athletic practice, but in
the classroom, These are the scars
the youthful warrior bears
Red marks under right eye
Lump on bridge Of nose.
Stiff neck
The red mark is what remains OF a
very black eye
The lump on the nose shows where
Teddy was hurt in the recent game
and also marks the spot where he was
injured boxing before he came to
Harvard. There viii be no scar on
the nose
The most serious injury to the boy
seemed to be his neck, which still
gives him a grea deal Of trouble. He
cannot look around without turning
his entire body.
Teddy was the recipient Of a great
deal Of gOOd-natured chatting today Of
the kind that is taken as compliment
tary. The Harvard boys, in discuss
ing the yOungster, declare that he is
a chip OF the old block"

RELIEVE EYES OF STRAIN.
Those Engaged in Close Work Should
frequently Rest Tired Eyes BY
Looking at Distant Objects.

1t is no myth that those who live II
cities have troubled vision and i,
strained, tired look about the eyes tn,
country people never have.
| Look at the man or woman who work!
in shop, or at desk, or in close room
for days, months and years, and you will
see the difference between their eyes ant
the eyes that dwell constantly upon 8
clear stretch of horizon. %g
1t is impossible for the eye to have
that soft clear look it should retain
when it has to be focused constantly
upon objects that are against the face
Eyes need wide perspective to keep
them clear. &
The short days of winter, the darE
days of autumn, which require constant
light in the face by which one works, is
fatal to the expression of the eyes. It
causes lines at the corners, little bags
under the lower eyelashes, and a
strained line between the brows. 1t
may give what foreigners call our "alert,
eager" look, but it Is not an attractive
one and robs the face of all peace and
quiet. rs
1t is impossible for the workers of the
world to change the vision in front of
them to the wider one of nature, but
there are dozens of ways in which they
can rest the eyes so that the strained
look and the tired expression will be
modified and held at bay.
The best expedient offered the Office
worker and the woman who lives in q
small room in a shut-in street, where the
windows afford no small view, is to hang
on the wall pictures of mountains, of
rivers, of Understanding pasture lands
This may sound like theoretical ad-
vice, but try it once and you will see
how practical it is. ~.
Don't put portraits. maps, or any of
that kind of decoration on the wall.
If you can't afford good pictures and
don't find what you want in the mex
pensive Autographs, go to the railroad
offices where they make up travelling
guide botks and circulars, advertising
beautiful scenery, and get some of the
pictures they use.
They have wonderful bits of scenery:
the Rocky mountains, with vind-sWept
canyons and gorges; Pixies Peak, with
its crown of snow; the Horseshoe Bend
In the Pennsylvania mountains, the yell
lowstone Park regions, the clear, rest
ful landscape of the Thousand islands
and the storm-swept reaches Of the New
England coast, with it's conflict of surf
against rock.
All these give vivid impression Of
the nature We cannot get close to except
through pictures during the months of
our eight and ten-hour toll.
