One Of the fine things In American
letters that one should read now and
then is this paragraph from the pen
Of the great and genial American
autocrat, Oliver Wendell Holmes;
"Oftlmes | have seen a tall ship glide
BY against the tide, as II drawn by
some invisible bow with q hundred
strong arms pulling 1t. Her sails
hung untitled, her streamers were
dropping, she had neither side wheel
nor stern wheel; still, she moved on,
stately, in serene triumph as II with
her own life. But l knew that on the
other side Of the ship, hidden beneath
the great hulk that swan so maiesti-
cally, there was a little, toling steam
tug, with . heart Of Ere and arms Of
iron. that was hugging it close and
dragging II bravely oni aud l knew
that II the little steam tug untwined
lie arms and left the tall ship, il
would wallow and roll about and IL
would drift hither and thither. and go
on with refluent tide, no man knows
where. And 80 l have known more
than one genius, high deoked, full
freighted, wide sailed, gay Pennoned,
that but for the bare, tollipg arms
and brave warm beating heart Of the
faithful little wife that nestled close

C~nmnliments For Creech.

Eldorado Republican; Hon. John
Wesley Creech Of Harrington, member
from Dickinson county, is announced
as a candidate for speaker Of the
house Of representatives. Mr.. Creech
was chairman Of the ways and means
committee OF the last house, Is an
honest, sincere man, and stands for
the square deal in everythingi and
the house will not make a mistake 1t
IL elects him to the honorable position
Of speaker. We somehow imagine
that some Of these days Mr.. Creech
will be chosen governor Of the state,
as he is the kind Of man the Republic
cans will be looking for later on.
Dickinson County News: J. w.
Creech, representative from this coun-
ty, has a good sized boom for speaker
Of the house. Mr.. Creech Is a fine
gentleman and while the Republicans
are passing things around there is no
reason why Dickinson county should
not get a few Of them. Dickinson did
more for the state ticket than most
counties and they should have some
Of the reward. While MI. Creech is
a Republican yet this paper feels that
Dickinson county has been given the
go-by long enough aud they should be
recognized, The News hopes that
Creech will win,

RAILROADS 10 ECONOMIC
Expenditures viii Be Less by From
$sO,0OO,O 900 to $12O,OOo,OOO.
Scarcity and Increased Cost Of Labor
Hostile Public Sentiment Among
Reasons Given.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The railroads
Of the entire country have decided
to inaugurate an era Of most rigid
economy, according TO the Record
Herald. The plans which have been
decided on will result In q. decrease
in expenditures during the next
twelve months Of between $S0.OO0,00O
and $3.50, 900, 900, as compared with
the sums spent during the year Just
closing. The railroad presidents de-
clare they have been forced into the
adoption Of this policy in self de-
Tense. The subject Of expenditures
has been the topic Of discussion AZ
gatherings Of executive officials in
Chicago and in the East for the last
three months. The subject was
again discussed here Wednesday at
q meeting Of the officials when
every railroad represented gave I'M
formation regarding the expenditures
planned for the coming year. In the
aggregate 1t was found that among
the roads having headquarters in
Chicago the decrease in expenditures
would be. fully s60,000,0O0. The ex-
penditures referred to are what are
known among railroad arrangements
as extra" and are for extension Of
lines, building Of spurs, side tracks,
new enginehouses, and the better
ment Of road bed and track.
The reasons assigned by the rail
road men for this move in economy
are increased demands Of labor which
will cost the railroad between $50,
100000 and 500. 100000 in excess OF
the wages paid last year; increased
cost Of all supplies and materials;
scarcity Of labor. making It almost
impossible to secure men for extern
sion Of old lines and the construction
Of new; inability to get supplies
promptly, the general tendency Of
freight rates which, It Is claimed, Is
downward, whilo the price Of every.
thing else Is Increasing: uncertainty
regarding the effect OF the rules Of
the interstate commerce commission:
Increasing difficulty in securing mon.
ey to invest In railway ventures, with
which to carry on Improvements and
continued public agitation which Is
alleged 10 be hostile TO corporations
and to railroads especially.

TROOPS co
The President Refuses to Rescind
Order for Their Dismissal
at Fort Reno.
TO Be NO FURTHER DELAY
New Facts Would Alone Be s~uflcient
to Cause the Executive to sus-
pend the Discharge ~ Ac-
tIOn Was Deliberate.

washington, Nov. 22.-4The war de-
partment issued the following state
ment wednesday concerning the me-
gro troops ordered dismissed at Fort
Reno:
I'm the matter Of the order dis
charging the enlisted men OF three
companies Of the Twenty-fifth I'M
fantry issued by the president, applis
cation was presented to the secretary
Of war by a number Of persons Of
standing asking for a rehearing BY
the president on the ground q
which the action was taken. The sec
rotary telegraphed the president Of
the application and delayed the pro-
ceedings Of the discharge until the
president could indicate his wishes.
The secretary was meantime called
out Of town. No answer was received
from the president.
The secretary on his return did not
feel justified in further delaying the
execution of the order Of discharge,
especially in view Of the fact that
the secretary then learned that the
president had fully and exclusively
considered the argument against the or
der Of the persons who now applied
for a ~rehearing. Accordingly the
secretary directed, Tuesday, that the
proceedings for discharge be con-
tinued without delay"
Later in the day Secretary Taft re-
ceived a dispatch from President
Roosevelt and issued the following
additional statement: M3
"A telegram was received from the
president at II o'clock Wednesday az
ter the previous statement was given
out at the war department, in which
he declines to suspend the discharge
unless there are new facts of such
importance as to warrant cabling him.
He states that the action was taken
after deliberation and that the only
matter to which he can pay heed is
the presentation Of facts showing the
official reports to be in whole OF In
part untrue, OIL clearly exculpating
some individual II any such facts
later appear be can act as be deems
advisable but thus far nothing has
been introduced 10 warrant the sus-
pension Of the order and he directs
that II be executed"
Secretary Taft says that Immediate
steps win be taken to recruit colored
soldiers to replace the men dis
charged. Members Of the three com
panies who were on q furlough at the
time Of the Brownsville affair and
three members who are to be tried
BY court martial win not be mustered

tween Slater and Glasgow, Mo.
and Was Caught in Act.
SAYS NE GOT ABOUT $1,000.
Ne Gave OMcers Detailed Descrtp-
tIOn of How the Robbery Was
Affected and How He
Was Captured.

Marshall, Mo-, Nov. 27.-special
Agent Rolla Green Of the Chicago &
| Alton railway company, in company
with a constable of Glasgow, Mo-, ar
rived here at 3 o'clock Monday after
noon from Glasgow, Mo, bringing
with him the bandit that held up and

ton train Sunday night between Slater
and Glasgow, Mo. He was taken i'm
mediately to the county Jail and at
his request Prosecuting Attorney W.
g. Lynch and Joshua Barbee, the new
ly elected prosecuting attorney, were
sent for. He asked that all others
be excluded from his call while he
talked to them. He stated that he
would make a complete confession OF
the entire affair If they would agree
to reduce the charge to that of bur
glary, thereby receiving u small peni'
Tertiary sentence. This the officers
refused to do, or hold out any prom
ise of reward or mitigation whatever
for a confession, stating to him that
he had committed an offense which In
this state was punishable by death,
with a minimum punishment of ten
years in the ~penitentiary, He stated
that 1t was his intention, II he would
be allowed to plead guilty to a small
penitentiary sentence, that he could
90 to the pe~nitentiary, serve the time
and com out and live an honest life;
otherwise, should they send him to
the penitentiary for twenty years or
more upon his release he would take
up his old crime of robbing trains.
He gave out the following statemtnt
to the prosecuting attorney.

reason | came to Slater to get on the
train. / got in the smoking car and
went through 1t and robbed two or
three other cars. l did not take any

the pistol from me and I broke and
ran to the back Of the train. Many
Of the passengers and all of the train
crew rushed upon me while the train
was in motion. struck me upon the
head with the pistol and tried to
throw me overheard while the train
was running thirty miles an hour.
The train soon stopped and I was cap
tured and put off at Armstrong and
brought from there the next morning
to Glasgow and from there 10 this
place today. I was born near Grant

The Methodists Of Abilene deserve
great credit for the splendid improve
ment they have made in their church
property. The expenditure Of $4,000
has transformed the church into one
Of the most complete and beautiful
buildings In the state, an honor to
this city and to the congregation to
which 1t belongs. The development
Of Abilene is nowhere better exempli-
fed than in the Improvement Of
church and school properties and the
Methodists have done their full share
in keeping pace with the city's ad-
vance. They have a structure Of
which they may well be proud and the
church organization will find in 1t
inspiration to earnest effort and salts
faction Of religious life.
