Mr.. and Mrs. Andreas Bischke Of Ar
tas arrived on Tuesdays train and have
been visiting during the week at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs Phillip Berreth,
Mrs. Berreth being daughter OF Mr..
aud Mrs. Bischke. The Picayune ac-
knowledges cali from Mr.. Bischke,
who informs US that he has just sold ITO
acres OF land near Artas TO Konrad
Trautman for $50.
Saturday morning, February 8, at
about five o'clock, the train bridging
mail and express and one car of Ignite
coal, arrived at this point. This is the
first east mail train arriving at Herreid
over the 500 line since January 18th
period OF over II days 1t is the longest
hold up OF mail service ever experienced
in Campbell county. During the hard
winter cf 1867 there was one period Of
nine days in which no mail from outside
points reached Mound City.
Il. A. Fossum sold out his hardware
business in Herreid this week TO Ed
Dick mann and Gottlieb Weber, who
will take hold Of the business about the
25th Of this month. This business deal
has created something OF sensation In
town. as Mr. Fossum has been in the
hardware business Ia Herreid ever since
the town was founded and at Mound
City prior to that time for several years.
1t is not known what business Mr. Fos-
sum will pick up but he hints that he
may go to the Pacific coast and go into
the lumber business, that line OF activ-
ity being the most certain wealth getter
in these days of thousand and one
schemes TO get rich quick. Both gentle
men constituting the new firm are web
known business men of Herreid, Mr..
Dicknann being an expert timer by
trade, and at present engaged in the
hardware and grocery business; and Mr..
Weber; until recently, owning and oper-
ating the City Meat Market.

Compound Words.

There is growing tendency to dis
GARD the use of compound words-that
IL, words connected by n hyphen-but
the tendency is not to be commended
In the interest of direct expression.
There is a principle involved that the
boy and girl should understand. Take,
for example, the word "walklngStick."
Written in the form here glven-with
the hyphen-the word is passive; that
IL to say, 1t Ii a stick with which or
by the aid OF which one walks, but II
written as two words, walking stick, F."
the expression signifies a stick that
walks. This difference in meaning is
not an arbitrary one. but Is strictly in
accordance with the rules Of our
language. The hyphenated word,
therefore, is always to be preferred In
cases o. this kind The subject is
worth study, and those who are inter
ssted would find of great value a book
called English Compound Words and
Phrases" by Teall. Chicago News.

FOR THE CHILDREN


An arctic explorer pays the follow.
ing tribute TO the dog that draws the
sledge:
Nowhere does the dog show himself
40 much the friend of man as in the
regions of ice and snow.
When the rivers are frozen and the
way Is blocked to every other beast
Of draft, the dog is put in harness and
goes where none but man can fol.
low. He faces the trackless solitudes
with assurance, for none know better
than he how to surmount their perils.
His keen instinct tells him OF the com
ing storm while ii is yet distant he
knows how to break through the ice
for water when thirsty, how to hunt
for his food and how to make his bed
in the snow.
He is full OF courage and endurance,
resourceful as his cousin, the fox. and
with sufficient Of the wolf nature to
feel at home In the bleakest solitudes.
He Is the only animal that man can
count on as a comrade In the far north.

Engineer offers suaaestion.

Walter c. Wright is the engineer who
has the night run on the switch engine
which caused the disaster last Friday
night at Twenty-seventh street. He had
not yet taken charge when the accident
happened. He made some interesting
suggestions yesterday about the proven
ton of accidents.
Il have been running an engine in
Birmingham since 1898, he said, and
have never had an accident. but 1t is
mighty easy for them to happen under
present conditions.
In the first place the street railway
hagmen have a green flag or green light
At Twenty street the flagman
meets every electric car and flags it
across each railroad as the car reaches
il. This nagman should not only look
up and down the track. but he should
walk all the. way across and carry a
signal. The motorman should blow his
whistle or ring before starting over any
crossing. II my fireman is busy and the
hagman is visible only from the fire
mans side the engineer has no way Of
knowing a car is about to cross under
present conditions. The hagman should
walk clear across the tracks with his
signal so he can be seen by both fireman
and engineer. Men are always in the
yard and an engineer might not know a
person crossing the tracks was flag
man. But no engineer would start up his
engine with a green flag or green light
staring him in the face"

IN THE SENATE.

Washing, February 1.-THE Senate to-
day passed the army appropriation bill
carrying ISL 100000. The amendment
which permitted the government to ac-
eept reduced rates on army supplies. and
permitted officers and enlisted men TO
accept reduced transportation, was de-
feated by a point of order interposed
by Senator McCumber after the day had
been spent I'm its discussion.
An amendment offered by Senator Dick
increasing by 20 per cent the pay of
officers and enlisted men, was defeated
by a point of order made by Senator
Hale
Amendments were accepted to build
monuments TO revolutionary officers as
follows:
To Gen. John Stark. an equestrian
statue at Manchester, n. H.. 100000: a
state to Gen. Nathaniel Green at Gull
ford Courthouse, N. c., $4,000; statue
10 Gen. James Scrvener. at Midway,
Ga, $1,000.
In the debate on the amendment al
lowing reduced rates. Senator Spooner
took the position that the government
was not bound by tho rate bill and If
it was so commended the present amend
ment ought to be accepted to clear away
any doubt on the point
Senator Aldrich opposed the amendment.
Incidentally he brought in the question
OF tariff on importations for the gov
eminent which led Senator Spooner to
remark; ''While I am as good protec-
zionist as any one, have thought for
some years mat the tariff should be re-
vised'
Senator Beveridge took issue with Mr..
Spooner on n statement that there was
no Omitted States commerce." Mr.. Bev-
eridge argued that there was "a COM
merce OF the people" which was not
state commerce. and which I'm all essen
tails was national in character

ABOLISH THE FATAL GRADE CROSSING
is THE UNIVERSAL CRY IN BIRMINGHAM

Joined in the construction of a street VIA
duct over the railroad tracks there at
the North High street crossing. and
which was a close parallel to the South
Twentieth street crossing here. and /
suggest it would be an excellent exam
pie for Birmingham and its railroads to
investigate in the premises.
Another I could suggest would be the
Michigan and Exchange street viaduet in
Buffalo carrying the street traffic over
the tracks of the New York Central
Lake Shore, Nickel Plate. Buffalo, Roeh-
ester and Pittsburg. and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tracks.
THE railroads are far from being en-
tirely to blame in street crossing mat
tiers here as is well known TO all by the
heavy passenger and wagon traffic at
the South Twentieth street CROSSING
when only one square away the Twenty
first street bridge presents perfectly
strong and safe passageway over the
railroad tracks. Why does not The Age
Herald make a series of efforts to divert
traffic to the Twenty-frst street cross

Favors a Commission.

John l.. Parker: Il believe that the
matter of abolishing the grade crossings
is one of the important questions that
the city council should take up. l intend
to introduce resolution at the next
meeting of the council to appoint COM
mttee which shall be part OF a COM
mission TO investigate the matter and see
what can be accomplished.
"I think a commission should be cs-
tablished to consist OF representatives of
the railroads, the street railway COM
pany and the city. and that the commits
sion should be kept in force until It has
relieved the conditions as it sees them.
I think that the best engineering experts
should be consulted and their opinions
rendered as to how to remedy this
matter"

The indictment would imply that the
reported escape of John Lind from the
county Jail several months ago was
brought about by these two men. 1t will
be remembered that, as the warden gave
it out, Lind claimed to have buried

Some Accidents Unavoidable.

J. {. Maben: zone question tnat arises
is in regard to the effect the new depot
will have. When that is built it will de-
crease the number OF trains at Twentieth
street and increase the number at Twen-
ly-seventh street. But take the Twenty
seventh street crossing. II has been
four on five Years since any one was killed
there, and look at the thousands and
thousands that have crossed over the
tracks there. The percentage is very
small We all have to run risks and
We run nearly the same risk on the
streets.
Accidents viii happen and they are
bound TO happen all the time. We cannot
reduce the safeties TO such a point that
we will not have accidents.
However, l believe that something
should be done. In England there are
no gradeic crossings, but, of course. things
are different there from what they are
here"
