HARD AT WORK
FOR TOMDIGBEE
SENATOR'S MONEY AND McLAU-
Rim AND REPRESENTATIV
GAMBLER ARE MAKING
STRENUOUS EFFORTS.
Memorial Prepared by Local Conn
mittee Has Been Printed i'm
Congressional Record, and
Work to Continue.

Neither the people of Columbus
and the contiguous territory nor their
official representatives in Washington
have relinquished hope of securing
the much desired appropriation for
the improvement of the Tombigbee
river. When the report of the rivers
and harbors committee was submit
ted to congress, Mr.. Gambler made an
eloquent plea for an appropriation
for the principal river of his district,
and his speech, together with the
statement of facts issued by the local
hills adverse report, were printed in
the Congressional Record. BY pur-
suing this method Congressman Can
dler was enabled to get the statement
of facts not only before congress, but
before the public at large.
While the effort to get the appro-
priation included in the report of the
rivers and harbors committee met
with defeat, there is every reason to
hope that when the bill reaches the
senate CI1 III 1OI
the appropriation will be tackled on.
Both Senator Money and Senator Nc
Laurin have promised to do every
thing in their power to have the bill
so amended, and when the instrument
goes back to congress Mr.. Gambler
Will certainly use every means in his
power to induce the lower house to
concur in the amendment
In a recent private letter to a
friend in this city, Senator McLaurin
states that while his health is very
poor and he has been advised to go
to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Bal
timore for treatment, he has decided
to remain at the Capitol until the riv-
ers and harbors bill comes up in the
senate, and every possible effort will
be made to have the appropriation
for the improvement of the Tombig-
bee provided for in an amendment, as
outlined above. Senator Money and
Senator McLaurin are co operating
with each other in the matter, and
are marshaling their forces for a
fight when the bill comes up
for final action.

HIppODROME GOES
TO TABB'S HILL
MIR. WARREN COX HAS DECIDED
TO BUILD HIPPODROME ON
THE PROPERTY OF THE
STREET RAILWAY.
Site Selected is the Lot on the Corner
of Main and Nineteenth Streets,
and Work on the Building
Has Already Begun.

The management of the Columbus
Street Railway Company has perfect
ed arrangements with Mr.. Warren
Cox whereby the hippodrome or skat-
ing rink to be erected by him will
be built on ground owned by the
company in the Tabbs Hill neighbor-
hood. The site selected is the lot at
the corner of Main and Nineteenth
streets, and work on the structure
has already been begun Mr.. Arthur
Stansel has the contract for the erec-
tion of the building, which is to be
145 feet long and 90 feet wide.
1t is understood that under the
agreement entered into with Mr. Cox,
the Street Railway Company is to
assume his lease on the Bradford
property on South Fourth avenue,
where, according to the original plan,
the rink was to have been built. 1t
is hardly probable that a skating
rink or any other kind of a building
will be erected on the Bradford prop
erty, but the fact that the lease is
held by interested parties will pre-
clude the possibility of an opposition
rink on this particular property.
1t is stated that when the hippo
drome is completed the use of the
pavilion at Lake Pork as a skating
rink will be discontinued, and that
during the coming summer the build
ing will be used for dances and other
gatherings. as was the custom
last summer.

Washington, Feb. S.-All conduct
ors, trainmen and yardmen of the
Southern Railway are to receive an
increase in wages aggregating be-
tween $3.50, 900 and $500, 900 a year.
The advance affects hundreds of men.
For several weeks General Mana
ger Ackert and other officials of the
Southern Railway have been in con-
ference with committees representing
the men, who urged that because of
the increase in living expenses dur
ing the past two years they were not
able to live on pay they were receiv-
ing, and asked for a horizontal in
crease in wages. At satisfactory ad-
justment was finally reached today.
The increase amounts from six per
cent as the minimum to twenty-five
per cent as the maximum. Through
freight conductors are to be paid on
a basis of s3.18 per 100 miles; local
freight conductors, $3.50 per 100
miles; local freight brakemen, $2.15
per 100 miles, and through freight
s1.75 per 100 miles.
Other conductors and trainmen are
granted proportionate increases, as
are the yardmen.

WHITE MAN KILLED
BY N. & @. TRAIN
JOS. SNEIDER. A SECTION FORE
MAN OF THE MOBILE AND
OHIO, RUN OVER AND
KILLED By TRAIN.
Accident Occurred Last Thursday at
COker. Ala, a Station About
Fifty Miles of Columbus
on Montgomery Div.

Joseph Sneider, a white man en-
| ployed as section foreman by the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad, met instant
death as the result of an accident
which occurred at Coker, Ala, a
small station about fifty miles south
of Columbus on the Montgomery div
ision, last Thursday.
At the time of the accident Sneider
was working in a cut near the sta
ton, and could see the engine as it
approached, but was under the i'm
preston that the train would stop
in the yards to couple on a car which
he knew was there awaiting transit,
so he made no attempt to get out
of the way For some reason, how
ever, the train did not pause at the
station, but came rushing down the
track and ran over the unfortunate
way of the train.
The train was a northbound local
freight, and was in charge of Con-
ductor Jack Smith and Engineer Joe
Heinklander. It seems, however,
that no blame for the accident is at
tached to either of these gentlemen,
or to any member of the train crew.
Coker is a flag station, and as no
signal was displayed the train did
not stop. Mr.. Sneider had frequently
visited Columbus and had numerous
friends here who sincerely regret his
untimely death.

Sweeping Anti-Bucket Shop Bill.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. G. The
senate of Alabama yesterday passed
one of the most sweeping anti-bucket
shop bills ever presented to a State
legislature. The bill was identical
with the North Carolina law which
was recently upheld by the supreme
court of the United States.
The author of the bill was Senator
Reese, of Dallas county, but the bill
was the same as the North Carolina
law which has stood the test of the
courts. The opponents of the alleged
bucket shops desired to have a meas
ure which would not be declared un-
constitutional by the courts and they
took up the North Carolina law that
has stood the test of the courts.
The bill was passed through the
senate yesterday without opposition
Not a member of the senate spoke
against the measure and not a SEN
ator voted against it.

HEAD SEVERED
FROM HIS BODY
MOBILE & OHIO SWITCH ENGINE
RAN OVER A NEGO NAMED
JOHN JOHNSON AT AR
TESLA WEDNESDAY.
He Was BENDING Down Over Recall
citrant Switch When Engine
Struck Him. Seyering the
Head from the Body.

A recalcitrant switch in the yards
of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad at Ar
tesla caused a negro named John
Johnson to lose his life last Wednes-
day. Johnson was employed as a
switchman in the railroad yards at
Artesia. and was bending down over
the track trying to fix the switch
when the switch engine ran over him
and completely severed his head from
his body
The negro was in a STOPPING post
u3e, with his eyes fixed on his work,
{, Id did not see the engine as it APP
preached, nor did the engineer or
fireman see him, for the locomotive
was running backward and their gaze
was directed in the opposite direction.
1t is evident that the negro had not
the slightest warning of impending
danger, as it would have been a very
easy matter for him TO have stepped
out of the way, but he did not move
and the locomotive passed over his
neck, cutting the head from the body.
OF course death was instantaneous,
and those who viewed the remains of
the unfortunate switchman declare
that the cut was smooth and as even
as though it had been made by a
sharp knife.

Utilizing Corn Fodder.

1t is desirable to utilize all the food
value there Is in the corn fodder,
though the usual way of feeding it to
the stock is very wasteful method.
Where the daily supply Of fodder Is
thrown in the barnyard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed, so far
as tile feeding value is concerned. The
leaves and the tops are all stock will
eat. From one-third to one-half the
length of the fodder is readily eaten in
racks without cutting. When the stalks
are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper
half may be cut for feed with a sharp
broadax and heavy block If but few
cattle are fed. For a larger herd we
have adopted a large shearing knife,
homemade, which soon shears enough
for days feeding
The cutting knife or shears Is best
made from an old blade Of a crosscut
saw. After the handles have been re-
moved, get a stout piece of iron (d)
about eight inches long and one and
one-Quarter inches thick. Have about
five inches of this slit up to receive the
back Of the saw.
Punch holes through both and rivet
| together. Near the end of this iron
have a hole drilled or turn an eye Oh
it to receive strong bolt. Rivet q
strong handle on the other end, as
shown at C, long enough to give good
leverage, say two and one-half to three
feet. Grind the blade down to good
sharp cutting edge, attach the cutter
at d to strong post or upright so /
will have plenty Of swing. Put heav.

should have heard Charles, Grace, telling
how Cyras sat down and nursed him af-
terward in the cloisters, kissing him and
wiping the blood from his face, and whis-
pering to him how he loved him better
than anything else in the world. Grace,
those two will be affectionate, loving
brothers if we do not mar it."
Lady Grace felt that she had been un-
just in striking Cyras, as well as guilty
of an unlady-like action, and perhaps
she felt more contrition at the moment
than the case really warranted.
How mar it?" she faltered.
The dean put his Grm around his wife's
waist before replying. Grace, you best
know what is in your heart; whether or
not there is a dislike toward Cyras rank
ling there. l think there Is, and that it
makes you unjust to him. If you are not
very cautious it may sow dissension be-
tween the children"
Grace Baumgarten burst into tears, and
laid her face caressingly upon her hus-
bands breast; she loved him almost as
passonately as she had ever done. "Ryle," "
she whispered, "if there be any such feel
ing, it is born of my love for you"
No more was said, for the steps of the
boys were heard on the stairs, and she
opened the door.
"Come in, Cyras; want you," she
said, drawing him gently to her. Your
papa has been telling me that it was not
you who hit Charles and made his nose
bleed"
"Of course it was not meas if
would !" said Cyras.
But why did you not tell me so? II
caused me to punish you, for l thought
you deserved it. l am sorry to have done
so, Cyras, but the fault was yours. You
should have told me the truth"
Sometimes when you are angry with
me, mamma, and l tell you the truth
you don't believe me. You believe Jaque
instead of me. l don't get fair play il
this house with anybody, except papa
Jaquet hates me, mamma yoa know she
always did hate me-"
81 hope not, Cyras. And do not thinl
she would dare to say to me what was
not true"
"Oh, wouldn't she ~ cried the bold boy
"She does it to get me into a row will
you and make you punish me. Dldn
she tell you it was me that made Char
leys nose bleed just now, and didn't yol
believe her and hit me for it? 1t wasn'
me, and nobody had told her it was me
but she took and said it."
To Jaquets infinite astonishment, sh
had her warning the next day. After
few moments given to getting over he
discontinue, she told her lady that a
the end of the month she had been in
tending to give warning on her own side
for she was going to alter her condition
Which meant that she was about to ge

tended bridegroom was disclosed it pre-
voked some laughter from the dean
household, especially from his eldest sor

CHAPTER XIII.

In the handsome drawing room of their
town residence in Berkeley Square sat
the dean of Denham and Lady Grace
Baumgarten. 1t was a fine evening in
April; the dinner hour was approaching,
and they were awaiting a guest, an old
friend whom the dean had met in the
street unexpectedly that day, and invit-
ed.
Years have elapsed, and the dean, ap-
preaching fifty now, is more portly than
he was wont to be; but Lady Grace
carries her age well, and looks not a day
older than the period a woman never con-
fesses to have passed-fve-and-th Thirty. But
in the deans face there is look of anx-
ious care.
Gifted with an aristocratic wife, and
she with aristOcratic tastes and habits,
the dean had fallen long and long ago into
a more expensive rate of living than his
means permitted. Embarrassment follow
ed, trifiing enough at first, and easily put
of-not done away with, but deferred
But the plan does not answer it is some
thing like the nails in the horseshoe
which doubled as they went on and DR..
Baumgarten had now attained to a height
of perplexity in his pecuniary affairs not
frequently reached by a dignitary of the
church.
Half the labor of his later life had
been to hide it from Lady Grace. She
could not avoid knowing that they were
in debt, but she had no conception to
what extent, and debt is rather fash
ionable complaint. She also found that
the dean invariably ran short of ready
money; but that is not uncommon either.
In one sense of the word the debts which
had gathered about them might be put
down to the score of Lady Grace. At
the death of her mother, Lady Avon, she
had come into all the property that would
| be hers-two thousand year. With that
and the deans income they might have
| lived sufficiently we'll. But Lady Grace
had little idea of the value of money.
Living in Berkeley Square was her do
| ing, and was quite wrong and ridiculous
| with their narrowed means.
To years before the present chapter
opens Lady Grace had come to London
on a visit to her brother. Lord Avon
had never married, and spent much of
his time abroad, keeping his house-a
small .one-in Piccadilly done up in
brown holland and lavender. However,
he took possession of it for a season,
invited his sister to stay with him, and
the dean, If he could come. A season
in town was perfectly delightful to Lady
Grace.
II shall not be able to do without It,
now that have tasted its sweets again"
she said to her brother one day. II think
l must look out for some furnished house
to be had cheaply, Henry, and take it,
"All right" said his lordship, who had
given in to Grace from the time she was
baby.

The advlsability of feeding barley
to pigs, and the methods to pursue in 50
doing, is well worthy of agitation. That
pigs are desirable on the farm is an
established fact. Food must be pro-
vided for them, and so far the one most
generally used has been corn, either
alone or with shorts and milk. But in
much of the northwest corn cannot be
matured, or is crop too uncertain and
expensive to be practicable. In such
regions, barley is reliable crop; and
If 1t can be utilized generally for pigs
n great advantage to the industry will
have been secured.

CHAPTER XII.

A couple of pretty objects the boys
looked when they entered the well-lighted
residence. Cyras smuggled Charles into
the nursery.
"Oh, my patience !" uttered the nurse,
who was sitting there with her charge, a
lovely little lady between five and six
years old, Gertrude Baumgarten. "You
wicked boys. what have you been up to?
This is your work, | know, Master Cy-
ras ~
rs it? Who gave you leave to know?"
retorted Cyras. He was no more friendly
to Jaquet than he used to be, or she to
him.
Gertrude backed in fear against the
wall, her eyes, naughty and blue as were
her mothers, wide open with astonish-
ment. She did not like the appearance
of things, and began to cry.
"Now, don't be such a stupid Gerty,"
exclaimed Cyras; there's nothing to cry
for. Charley's nose bled, and it got on
to our clothes"
"Yes, it's me that's hurt, Jaquet," put
In Charley, remembering his grievances
and giving way again. "It isn't Cyras."
''Of course it's not" Indignantly re-
turned Jaquet, what harm does he ever
come to? You have been striking him,
that's what you have been doing, Master
Cyras. You've been humping him on
the nose to make it bleed"
ITS nothing to you il l have" re-
turned Cyras, in choler. you just say
1t again, though, and I'll strike you" He
disdained to say it was not so or to de-
fend himself; he was by far too indiffer-
ent temperament.
"Oh, nurse-look look ~ screamed out
the little girl.
1t was supplemented by a sharp scream
from Charley; his nose had begun to
bleed again; and at that moment there
was another interruption. The room door
opened, and the dean and his wife en-
tered. The nurse, whose temper was not
remarkably calm one and who disliked
the daring Cyras, was busy getting hot
water and basin.
Look at him, my lady, look at him,
cried she; "and it's Master Cyras' do
ingsw
"What does all this mean?" demanded
the dean, his eyes wandering from one
boy to the other, from their faces to their
clothes, his ears taking in the sobbine
and the crying. what is it, l ask?" he
sternly continued, for no one had replied
How dared you hit him?" exclaimed
Lady Grace, turning to Cyras.
The boy looked at her, but did moi
answer. She took it for bravado. Hel
passion rose. "You are growing perfec
little savage!" And raising her deli
cately gloved hand in the heat of the mo
ment she struck Master Cyras som'
tingling blows upon his cheeks. DR.
Baumgarten, deeming possibly that t
stand witness of the scene did not con
tribute to the dignity Of the Dean of Den
