Labor FiFhtr Oommittee.

Because OF slight that the booster
committee of the city gave to the labor
circles a letter has been written by the
labor leaders OF the city to the order Of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen in
forming them of some Of the conditions
in Des Moines as between capital and
labor The booster committee is trying to
get the order to move its headquarters
to this city. The booster committee ne
elected to have union labor man on the
committee and hence the letter. 1t is In
timated by the labor union men that the
letter will not assist much in getting the
order TO move to Des Moines. When the
booster committee first started in business
few months ago It decided to get out
button. Later in the day when the but
ton was put on sale It developed that the
button was not union made and the union
men would not buy them. Members of the
booster committee say that there Is not
a member on the committee who is there
because he represents any interest, the
members being selected solely on their
ability to boost the city. The labor union
men say that is all the more reason for
surprise at the absence Of a union labor

NEGRO GETS AUTO.
Michael AeRoey Won an Automobile Given
Away on the Coupon System.

Jollier than William Gorrell,
more melodious than Oscar Jack
son, more loquacious than Sid
Coles, was Michael McRoey, col
ored, Thursday afternoon as he
walked down to the Foreman-Mil-
Ter clothing store and was there
informed that he had won the au-
tomobile which that firm gave
away on the coupon system. 1t
became an event of more import
ance to Michael than the enamel
patton, and the voice awarding
the prize was oracular.
Michael is just a plain negro.
He had risen to no prominence
among the colored people of the
city, but. yesterday marks his
debut hereafter into ''sassiety'
aud none was more conscious of
this fact than he himself. He
talked cleaner English, walked
straighter and essayed to wear be-
coming dignity.
The automobile was won by No.
1862, which Michael held, this be-
ing one Ct four coupons he receiv-
ed q few days ago when he pur-
chased a suit of clothes. It was
not long after the hour of drawing
until the negro put in his appear
ance. Some friend had already
informed him of the good luck OF
which he suddenly found him.
self possessed, and he strobe fast
to the firms store at the eorner Of
College$:and East Trade streets
He.was fairly out of breath when
he got there, and in the supreme
happiness Of the moment he was
too overcomezt TO talk.coherently
He began at once to prepare fcl
the removal of the machine to hi
humble cottage.on Popular street
Great crowds of his kind hac
gathered around the.store. mixing
with a number of curious whites
and Michael received widespread
congratulations.
He is the first negro-in town te
own an auto and this fact Ia more
significant to him than The win

Whisky, The MurderIng Demon.

Tho saddest incident 80 far OF
the holidays is the killing of lit
tie Alma Green at Buena Vista,
near Ashevllle, by q drunken des-
perado who. fired recklessly from
a train. This little girl, the baby
and.pet.of her parents and broth
ers, raj joyfully to the station to
see the train pass. A drunken
wretch fired recklesslv fromSthe
train and the little girl was kill
ed. In the short interval be-
tween the shooting and her death
she cried piteously to her mother
that she did not want to die. We
denounce lynohing because it is
wrong; it is anarchy and cannot
be tolerated. But who. among us
if we had been present, could have
said nay if the drunken wretch
who killed that child had been
killed on the spot, as he deserved
to be? The fact that he was
drunk is no palliation, but as the
Landmark views it, is rather an
aggravation of the offense. He
may not have meant to kill the
child or anybody, but the devil
who shoots recklessly, without re-
gard to- whom he may kill or
MAIN. deserves death when death
results from his viciousnegs, for
no matter what he doesn't intend
to do, be doesn't care what
the result will be and the fact
that he may be drunk aegravates
the offending. Lance may escape
through the law but he deserves
to die, and if he meets death 9th
er than at the hands OF the law
he will get what he d~eaerves.-

The SINGING MOUSE.
Is Said 10 be aIlSWeat Singer, But Very
Shy.

SnF.
In Uncle Remus's Magazine for
January is a letter from one of
the Magazines subscribers telling
of a marvellous vocalist, the sing
ing mouse. Here is the tale, be it
true or nature fake:
Suddenly in the night. as I lay
awake, I heard a few notes, sweet
and clear, yet low and faltering,
as if the singer were uncertain of
his power, and feared to let his
voice out to It's full. It was very
like the song of a bird u Gagged
bird, that dreaming of sky and
stream and forest, sings in his
sleep. with head tucked beneath a
wing, thus mufiing the sound.
Like a flash came the truth to
me: I was being serenaded by that
rarely heard musician, the "sing-
ing mouse!" Long ago I had read
of him, but had never before
hoped to be honored by a seren-
ade from the shyest Of singers; be
sure that I lay perfectly quiet
and listened intently. I found
his song just what it had been de-
scribed as being very much like
the canary's, only more soft and
sweet, altogether unmarried by
harsh, shrill notes. The writer
Of the interesting account of the
singing mouse claimed that the
Creature lis no strange species, but
only the common house mouse
that has either Inherited the gift
Of song.or learned the art from
older members Of his race. It is
supposed that originally the &C.
complishment was learned from
canaries, and t:his seems probable
as singing mice are more often
found in houses where there are
canaries. That they do learn the
song from each other, and also
that it is hereditary, is proved by
the fact that If one is heard in a
house, Others are likely to make
themselves KNOWN from time to
time, even unto many generations.
As for my own pet. he came
every night for several weeks in
variably between 1 and 2 o'clock.
always he faltered a little at first
but afterwards, becoming more
sure of himself, would let his voice
outtfully singing.with the pure
abandon of enjoyment. The first
few nights I was afraid t osssarouse
my mother, who slept in the same
room but in another bed, lest the
little fellow might cease if should
speak. But after the first two or
three solos I ventured to call her.
and ne was not startled in the
least, but sang on without pause
as If his oars vera closed to ell
save his own musical notes. At
ter thast, at her request, I would
always call mother when the en-
tertainment began, and never
once did the mouse become silent
at the sound of my voice.
wish [ might say he sings to
me still, but he does not. Whether
he died a natural death, fell a
victim to some hungry member
of the feline tribe, or wandered
away to parts unknown in search
OF a new audience - but finding
nowhere a mora appreciative one,
! am sure-it is not given me to
record. But the memory of his

ATTACKED BY
SAVAGE HOG

George Mourer of Grovania is suf-
fering from the effects of very SER
ious injury inflicted by one of his
hogs.
Mr.. Mourer has among his swine a
male, which is of very ugly disposl-
tion and is apt to cause great deal of
trouble about the hog pens. One of
his tricks is to root the trough away
from it's moorings SO that at feeding
time it is no unusual thing to find the
trough lying upside down in the mid
die of the pen. f
Such was the condition of things
about 80 o'clock last Friday morn
ing when Mr.. Mourer proceeded to
feed his hogs. Before pouring in the
swill the man climbed over the rail
ing into the pen to place the trough
into position.
The troublesome hog is ferocious
looking fellow with long tusks pro-
truding from his mouth. No sooner
had Mr.. Mourer stepped into the pen
than the animal with all the ferocjty
of a wild boar sprang upon the man.
Mr.. Mourer attempted to escape, but
before he could get out of the way the
hog, swapping like dog, caught him
by the right hand, sinking his crue
tusks Unto the palm, lacerat-
ing the member in most shocking
manner. The hogs tusk cut clear
through the palm above the little fing-
er laying the bone of the hand bare.
Mr.. Mourer got on board of one of
the trolley cars, which just then came
along and went to Bloomsbury. where
he received surgical treatment.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

If press opinion counts for anything
Mr.. Al w. Martins newest product
ion of "UnGle Toms Cabin" which
will be seen at the opera house, Sat
urday. Nov 3Oth, matinee and night,
has caught the public fancy. The
theatres where the Offering has been
made are said to have been crowded
at every performance, and no reason
able doubt remains that business this
season will reach figure that will
astonish the dramatic world. For a
play holding the stage over fifty years
within which period not a single sea-
son has elapsed during which it was
entirely absent from the theatre,
Uncle Toms Cabin" still exhibits
wonderful vitality. The scenic and
electrical effects which are displayed
could not easily be improved. Each
pictures the reality as closely as paint
and canvass will permit, and the
stage perspective is so deep that the
effect is exceptionally pleasing. The
company is also worthy of its environ
ment. The most pleasing is a white
chorus of twenty, engaged to imper-
senate the negroes of the Soujh and
is decided novelty. At all points
Mr.. Martin has made plain what
brains, money and energy can accom-
plish

representative Society CAST, and scored
the greatest artistic and financial sue
amateur productions in Binghamton.
Manager Clark of the Stone Opera
House, Immediately secured the cast

pany booked, to make room. The cast
consented to play again, and gave their
share of the receipts TO. charity, divid-
ing it among several institutions.
Mrs. Clapp made a personal triumph
in these productions. At the opera
house she gave remarkable proof of
her genius. At two hours notice. she
played.the juvenile role, that of the
College girl. Nell Parkman,"
doubling it with that of her own role,
when word was received of Miss
Davis sudden illness. The packed
theatre positively rose to applaud Mrs.
Clapp. Her work is more finished
than that of two thirds of the best
known professionals and the announce
ment of her name in cast, is suffici-
ent to fill a Binghamton playhouse.
1t is entirely through the personal
interest taken.in the high school pro-
duotion by Mrs. Haugh5on, that Mrs
Clapp was secured. Mrs. Haughtcn
talked with her over the long distance
and through her influence
Mrs. Clapp has consented to assist the
production. The rehearsals
have been progressing most satisfact-
orily at the Y. NJ. O. A. parlors. and
Director Brodock promises great sur
prisss in store for the Danville public
at large, in the fine work of the cast.
The production will be the social
event of the early season.
