RAT HELPS TO RAISE FLAG.
Tame Rodent Carries Rope Through
Pulley at Boys Command.

New York.-The hazardous but lu.
crative trade of "Steeple Jack" has
been usurped in Jersey by small
white rat.
Edmund p Condit q wealthy resi-.
dent of Verona, gave a birthday party
to a dozen young friends Of his nine.
year-old son the other day.
When he attempted to celebrate the
OCCASION by raising an American flag
to the top of the 30.foot Flagstaff that
had stood on his lawn for years the
pulley rope broke. The pole was too
frail to permit of even the lightest
lad climbing up to pass another hal.
yard through the pulley at the top.
Me and Jimmy'll fix it for you, Mr..
Condit,' piped up Abel Wolff, a neigh.
boris son, and he scooted off to his fa-
Tiers barn, returning with little
white rat clinging to his shoulder
Abe uncoiled big ball of twine, put
the loose end in "Jimmy's" mouth,
aud sent the little animal climbing up
the pole; but when he reached the
pulley he didn't know what to do
next
Abe found another pulley. called the
white rat down. and spent ten minutes
teaching him to run back and forth
through the contrivance with the
twine between his teeth.
Then he sent Jimmy" up the pole
again, and this time the rat. without
a moments hesitation, tried to get
through the pulley. The hole was too
small, but Jimmy" deliberately took
the string in one paw, passed it
through the small opening, caught it
with the other paw, and scrambled to
the ground with it.

RIOTING
AvERTED
Chicago Alderman With
draws Proposed Telephone
Ordinance.

Chicago, September 10 Amid tre-
mendous excitement Alderman Young
IN charge Of the pending telephone
Ordinance, temporarily withdrew his
measure at the Council meeting yes
terday. Its future is now in doubt.
The Council does not meet again un-
til week from next Monday night.
The action came as an electric sur
prise. 1t had heen believed that the
ordinance would go sailing through.
That document, which for the past
few days has aroused all Chicago,
now can rest until after the cleo
tion on the new city charter next
Tuesday. 1t is the hope of the tel
ephone advocates to carry the Re
publican measure at the polls.
The City Hall never contained a
more thoroughly aroused crowd of
Icitizens, The Hobbies were thronged
In the gallery there was not good
standing room Policemen drove
hundreds down the steps. Elevator
conductors were ordered to stop the
steady, determined stream that
iammed the cars In the Council
Chamber itself there were so many
outsiders that it was difficult for
Iono Alderman to- see another and
the police had trouble keeping the
big crowd in order It IS believed
that had the ordinance passed there
would have been such demonstra-
tion of protest as the City Council
,Chamber has never seen.

CHOCTAW LINE WILL
EXTEND FROM AMARILLO

1t has developed that the Rock
island has not abandoned it's plans
Tor building the cutoff line between
Amarillo and Tucumcari as was
proposed.
The grade for the proposed road
was constructed more than three
years ago, but for some reason the
work ceased and nothing has since
been done in the matter of COM
pleting the line. However, it is
now announced that the rails for
the road have been ordered and
that track-laying will be COM
menced before the first of the COM
ing year. The grade is in good
condition, but will require re-sur-
facing.
The distance between Amarillo
and Tucumcari is ITO miles in an
almost straight line east and west.
At Tucumcari the new road will
connect with the Rock Islands
Line to Kansas City and also the
FL Paso & Southwestern lines to
FL Paso and Dawson. 1t will in
reality be an extension of the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf,
Rock Island line, and will afford
new southern route from western
points reached by the Choctaw line
and its connection to Memphis.

TVCUMCARI HAS
A STEAM LAUNDRY

Messrs Fowler and Lanigan
have ther laundry building nearly
completed and the machinery is
arriving. They hope 10 be ready
to open business by the 25th.
They have modern machinery
throughout, and will have better
equipment than can be found on
the line OF the Rock Island and
Southwestern between El Paso
and Topeka, Kansas. The cost of
the machinery alone is over 81, 500.
There is not town on the map
that needs a laundry more than we
do or that will patronize it more
literally. A town of 3, 500 people
and growing every day, and the
nearest steam laundry more than
one hundred miles away, makes it
inconvenient about a change OF
clothes when a fellow needs them
hurry-up. Fowler and Lanigan
promise us the best in this line,
and it is the unanimous wish of the
community that they hurry,
