(From Thursdays Daily,)
Whether there is anything In the
tlSne that applies to Amarillo or not
Is a question that would have TO be
left to MIR. Lloyd Spencer or some
other competent authority to decide
but the song that Spencer amuses
himself and the audience with aft
er his wife In Her First Husband"
at the Deandi, has gone 10 fire the
cook, is filled with irresIBtible sa-
tire on some Amarillo conditions and
institutions that show a wonderful
opportunity for Improvement. From
the union station which appeals to
Spencer after the manner Of a hen
house, to the water which never
makes Amarillo MIGRANTS leak be-
cause 1t isn't there, every verse brings
out new bit Of tuneful satire, and
naturally the audience keeps up an
insistent encoring for more till the
good natured singer has to call a
halt to finish up the rest OF the act.
There will be a complete change
of bill tonight but Lawrence aud
Sheridan" have black and white
sketch which is said to be as ire
sistably funny as Che ghost act last
night. Miss Clara Wagner is a mon
ologue artist of an excellence not
often seen. Her reflections on mar
ried life in the bill this week make
a collection of the cleverest kind of

manager OF the Santa Fe, was au-
thorized yesterday by the executive
department to make drafts on the
treasurer for the amounts named and
present them TO the persons named
with the compliments of the Santa

John Houdeshell was employed as
a laborer and his wife, Minnie, as
cook by Frank Johnson, small con-
tractor, at a camp located near bridge
No. 4S9, on the Missouri division of
the Santa Fe near Hart, Mo- Ayls-
worth also was employed at the

due to pass Hart at 5;23 a. m. About
4 O'Clock on the morning OF Aug.
II Mrs. Houdeshell was awakened
by a loud crash. She called her hus-
band, who dressed Immediately and
went to an adjoining tent and awak-
ened Jackson and Aylsworth.
The three men then proceeded to
the bridge and found that the west
abutment had given way and the sin
gle steel girder had dropped five
feet, leaving the track in the air.
Perceving the danger Houdeshell
ran for lanterns and he and Jackson
started in opposite directions to stop
approaching trains, while Aylesworth
remained on the ground to be ready
for any emergency. Houdeshell ran
toward the west and stopped the
California limited, saving the passen-
gers and crew
When the passengers realized the
danger they had escaped they i'm
mediately made up substantial
purse and presented 1t to Mrs,
Houdeshell, and after arriving at

time. BY getting In the field early
and having plans ready for work,
Lhe Amarillo lodge expects to get

difficulty.
The state grand lodge is attended
by between two and three thousand
people and is one OF the most i'm
portant fraternal meetings of the
state, II has never yet gone north
OF Fort Worth but the growing i'm
portance OF the Panhandle and of

invitation OF the Amarillo Odd Eel

ing a meeting for the northwest
corner OF the big state.

teen years old and is now in the most
flourishing condition It has ever
known. Nearly $50 members are on
its rolls and 1t enjoys working

and suitable hall accommodations has
somewhat handicapped part Of thC

DALLAS ELKS ARE
GETTING READY

"The Dallas men mighty soon
made us visiting Elks understand
that it wasn't money that Dallas
wanted from the other lodges in the
state" said Il. j. Witt, yesterday in
telling of the big state rally of Elks
at Dallas last week to discuss plans
for entertaining the national gather
ing of Elks in 1908. The Dallas
Elks let us know that they simply
wanted us to be on hand when the
big time came and to help enter
tain the visitors from other states.
at was the greatest kind of a
surprise to me as 1t was to most of
the other visiting Elks to find out
on what scale the Dallas men had al
ready started and how much they
have already done Fort Worth is
working shoulder to shoulder with
Dallas and the words printed on our
