AS final comment on the Spring
field affair, might not one write an
appeal to the Bishop of Timbuctoo,
abiding to it and saying: This is a
town in the interior wilds of America,
and though of considerable CONNER
cial Importance, has been sadly neg
lected by your missionaries, as only
too forcibly proven by recent riots
and bloodshed. Some few days ago
a band of heathens from the jungles
came into Springfield and burned
quite a number of native huts and
tried to kill the native Christians,
defenseless women and children, were
forced to jump from second stories
Of their burning houses to escape
death from the flames, then fly with
all speed lest the enraged mob muir

Roosevelt be true, that an offense
committed by a better" man causes
more of a shock in a community. If
a white man had committed the same
crime that the Springfield Negro did,
it would have caused no particular

WORK PROGRESSES SLOWLY
Alphabet" Road Does Not Build as
Fast as Would Like.

From thursdays Daily.
A railroad worker struck town Sat

as to how the work was progressing on
the Alphabet he replied it was not go

anticipated even by the workers. Things
to his mind are not entirely satisfac-
tory and accordingly he quit, leaving
six men and thirty teams. The pessi-
simism seems to prevade the air quite
generally Unless it gives way to
something better cars will hardly be
running by the Fourth of July as some
expected.

MUST BE MORE MATURE.
Pages Employed in the Legislature
Too Young, Says Williams.

rTOm FRIDAY DAILY.
Labor Commissioner Williams says he
is going to appear before the next SEN
ate and legislature in an effort to abol-
ish the custom of employing boys under
sixteen years of age as pages.
As soon as the names of the new
members of the two bodies become known
in the fall, Mr.. Williams says he in
tends to personally write each of them
and ask that they put their foot down
on the employment of such pages. The
state law prohibits individuals and firms
from employing children under sixteen
years of age, and he can see no valid
reason in the legislature doing some
thing that it will not allow Others to
do.
The pages get So day and MIR. Will
Jams says if the legislature will con-
tinue to pay that sum he can get able
bodied men to do the work.
