tempt TO stop reckless automobile driving
in Chicago's streets.
An investigation OF the violations OF the
ordinances which have been going on
with impunity. during the winter months
has opened a startling field OF inquiry.
Police records show that ninety per cent
OF the 40 instances Of persons being killed
and mtimed by automobiles during the
last year can he laid directly 20 the Grim
inal and careless chauffeurs sent out by
the garages and automobile companies as

Charges are made by the police that
these chauffeurs use every trick to evade
tho law from givirx false addresses after
they have run down a pedestrian. that is
if they stop at ALTO using grease and
dust in efforts 10 disguise their numbers.
They place numbers out OF sight under
the ma achines, knock off the enamel, dent
them, and hang them upside down i'm will
fun and impudent violation Of all the laws
written on the subject.
Despite the police precautions. fast run
ming has n feature OF the open winter on
all the boulevards. With 1000 automobiles
running in the city next summer. the au-
thorities are preparing for battle royal

street. started discussion as 10 the
right of each to pay attention to a swar-

They challenged each other TO combat
and retired to the yard, accompanied by a
delighted crowd OF admirers. who con-
sidered that II was about time for the
host to begin the presentation OF his
novelties
There had been no monkeys brought In

and equally ae interesting Lehr features.
the purposed fight looked like something
that might be quite ''rikashay."
The guests assembled on convenient
doorsteps and fences and were having the
time OF their lives, Medina scoring on
Comes nut at will and promising 10
slaughter him, when an inconsiderate aid
came out from the ball room and insisted
that the special entertainment should he

The crowd lost no time I'm encouraging
John and August 10 continue their at
traction on the dump, and as one man
went with them 10 see the fight finished.
Medina now let out his reserve
strength and, sailing into Comes. broke
the latters nose. closed both his eyes
tightly, and wound up by knocking his
opponent down and out.
AS Comes did not respond to various
entreaties 10 get UP and shake hisself'
Medina became alarmed and. fleeing 10
his boarding house, prepared TO pack up
and catch the next train 10 Boston.

skull fracture the complaint was con-
tinued until next week Friday for SEN

Later in the day Comes was reported 20
be quite comfortable and not TO have sus-
tanned a skull fracture.
In every way the "swarry" was voted
a great success.

LAUNDRY WORKERS SUCCESSFUL L.
Though IT may not be known generally
among the labor people OF this city the
laundry workers OF Troy have been sue
cessful in their strike and all the troubles
have been adjusted
The AFFAIR has been settled some time
now, and a letter was received in this city
by one OF the labor leaders a few days
ago fro mthe officials OF the union, stating
that the strike was over, though the
laundry workers had not yet been re-
moved from the unfair list. This last act
would be done very soon and then the
workers wauld see a settled condition or
affairs.
The strike lasted for a long time. and IL
will be remembered that some OF the dele
gates came 10 mis- city and others OF the
New England states 10 solicit aid with
great success The contest was a bitter
one and II was at first thought that the
affair would not be settled yet The re-
sponses OF organized labor and the CO.
operation which the workers met with
was such and so strong that the employ
ers were finally forced 20 yield.
From the prominent and generous part
that this city played in the struggle. en-
tertaining the delegates and sending them
contributions, there will be a general feel
ing OF rejoicing at the fact that settle
ment has been made.

Opportunity maker, breaker, or

ton County belong?
Why have we gone on in the
even tenor Of our way andfailed
to make proper report Of the
condition of the county to the
State board of education? BY
this negligence we have failed to
get our share Of the $50, 900 school
fund appropriated by the Toilet
act.
Every intelligent man, woman
and child of this county knows
that Benton as well.as many 9TH
ers needs all the aid educationally
she can get.
There we're only yS4 counties out
of the 80 which we're reported to
the board last fall. Henry Coun-
'ty was to receive more than $500
of this $4,000, but this county was
not mentioned.
Bledsoe and Fentress counties
awoke'Fecently and have asked for
their share. Can't this county,
too, have in her report by the time
the board meets 10 decide the fate
Of Bledsoe aud Fentress?
Why has our county superin-
tendent neglected this most i'm
tportant part-of his duty? Ger
tainly he is.not satisfied with the
condition Of the schools of the
county, or else he knows little
about them. **&
