only sham and vote getting
scheme, for if you have been read
ing the papers you will find that
Foraker is the worst enemy that
Mr.. Roosevelt has today, especial
ly on the discharging of the negro
troops and the Porto Rician tariff.
DON'T you think that Mr.. Foraker
is only courting the coon for his
votes In the future. In my opin-
ion he will need them before he is
returned the United States Senate
or is elected president either. We
have heard some of the leading
Republicans in Ward Twp. say
they will never vote for him or any
candidate for representative that
promises to support him, so we
see where j. B. F. is right In
courting the coon for his votes.
Yes from Foraker standpoint he
is right.

And keep ourselves free from sin.

Three and Half - General News
of Ohio.
Columbus, o., Jan. l. - The state
railroad commission. in its first annual
report filed with the governor. says
| that too much time is wasted by
trains lying on sidetracks and there
Is much evidence TO the effect that
roads are greatly congested, even with
the present equipment, and it is a
natural conclusion that were the
equipment increased the congestion
would be greater, and it would there
fore seem that permanent relief can
only be secured through increase in
trackage." The report shows that
while the equipment ON Ohio railroads
has increased about 10 per cent, the
amount of track mileage gained but
31a per cent. This includes switches
and sidings. Extensions of time for
the equipment of cars with airbrakes
have expired. All trains must now
have air on at least Is per cent OF the
cars. under the law passed by the last
legislature This has sent to the scrap
pile many old cars not considered
worth the expense OF air equipment.
For the first time control over inter-
urban roads is exercised by the state.
Where defects were found in facilities
or methods they have been remedied.
The commission says: "It is prob,
ably fair to assume that some of the
railroads in Ohio are endeayoring to
handle double-track business on
single-track line. In other words,
more miles of second track should
have been laid in the last few years.
and the carriers have been derelict in
not even equipping themselves in this
respect for the natural increase of
tonnage that ordinary intelligence
might have foreseen."

BROUGHT THE WANDERERS HOME
County Clerk Martin Goes In Search of
 Members of the Big Four"

Yesterday at l2 m. sharp, two of the Big Four gang at the court house shouldered a large human rifle, which no doubt had been handed down from gener- ation to generation, and struc k out across the mount aims north Of this city in search of the Wilhel nina hotel, located on Rich Mountain.
 The gun was taken along principally as body gu ,rd no doubt, from the fact that several bears have recently been seen be. tween here aud their point of destination. They experienced considerable trouble about night fall with rabbit, threatening 8 number of times to "sboot at 1t" If il didn't change its course, which continued running down the path ahead of them for several hundred yards.
 County Clerk Martsin, becom- ing quite uneasy about his com rades, carefully considered the matter and decided to go up to the station on No. I yesterday y afternoon to ascertain as to whether or not they had come in contact with the hotel, thinking probably they might be misled by darkness and wander to parts unKnowu.
 They showed up at the station about s o'clock, however, and af- ter having struck the little village hotel for ''hand opt Mir.

CAUGHT THE
 WRONG MAN
Party Arrested at Poteau Was Not Calhoun, Who Assaulted Young Witt, But He Takes Cal
 nouns Job.

The man who was arrested at Poteau, I. T., "Wednesday even ing for Calhoun, who made a mnrderous assault on ]. C. Witt about two miles north of this city the previous afternoon, proved to be the wrong man.
 Officers Bickle and Goodner arrived on No. 5 yesterday after noon with the man arrested at Poteau and as he was not known Tn this city he was turned over to Deputy Sheriff John Bratcher who drove with him out to the surveyors camp to have him identified. Upon arriving at the camp the men there told the officer at once that he had the wrong fellow. Mir. Bratcher promptly released him and the fellow was offered work with the surveying party which has been short of help since the cutting affray. The position was prompt y accepted, for while the stranger objected to taking Cal houn's place before the law he was glad to get his job with the surveying party. As to the general description the two men were very much alike. Both about the same age and heighth wore the same kind of cap, shirt and corduroy trousers.
 To the officers he plead his innocence all the while and felt no uneasiness whatever and after being released thanked Officer Bratcher for the kindness shown him, stating that he had been given his breakfast, a first-class passenger ride from Poteau to this city, dinner and driven out to a good position in nice carriage-all ia tte same day.
 The railroad company hay. taken the matter up and knowing where Calhoun's home is, it is believed 1t will only be question of time when he will b. appre hended and brought back to this city to face serious change.

 The judges condition has been of such nature as to cause grave fears that he would not recover. Dr. M. l.. Norwood and the members of Judge Steels family came over from Lockes- burg the first of this week. The report given out yesterday was to the effect that the sick mans condition was slightly better at that time.
