Is because we are striving SO hard to

take the Cotton Belt train which, he
was told, would leave here at :
o'clock. He applied to one of the
negro hack. drivers near.-'the station,
named Wheeler, who drives a hack
for Charley Scott. Wheeler told hin
the Cotton Belt train had gone, bot
for 70 cents he would get him to the
boat. The doctor did not know at
the time where the boat was, but
learned on his return here that ii was
living at the foot of Eighth street and
could have been caught easily In
stead of driving him to the boat, how
ever, Wheeler drove him 10 the MIS-
sissippi river bank and turned bin
over to the skiff ferryman to be row

ferryman and got to Birds Point ID

Taft and Foraker May Not Speak
from Same Platform.
NEW YORK, Sept. LIT was reported
here this afternoon upon what seemed suf-
ficient authority, though national head
quarters was dumb on the subject. that
Senator Foraker would be asked to with
draw as one of the speakers at the meet
ing of the League OF Republican Clubs at
Cincinnati next Tuesday.
Senator Foraker was scheduled to speak
upon that occasion on the same platform
with Mr.. Taft.
1t was learned late this afternoon that
no definite decision mad been reached as
to extending any such request to Senator
Foraker. John Hays Hammond, who has
charge of the republican club matters for
the national committee, is on his way to
Cincinnati, and 1t is thought likely he will
have a talk with Senator Foraker on the
subject.

A find Of another kind has been made at
Limavady, county Derry. 1t is no less than
d new and unknown breed OF rats. Mr..
Henry Morrow was moving "a field of corn
on his farm at Scroggy when some strange
animals were noticed scurrying away.
The dogs gave chase and succeeded in
killing one OF the animals which turned
out to be an unmistakable rat. 1t was
nearly twice the size OF the ordinary field
or house rat, however, and II was jet black,
with white spots along the back. The head
was also somewhat unusual in shape. The
new rat is much fleeter and fiercer than
the familiar kind and the farmers of
county Derry are looking forward to good
sport II the breed Increases.

longs. We are behind every civilized ma
ton ON earth except England on the ques-
ton of government ownership OF railroads.
Every country OF continental Europe now
owns more or less of its railroads. Japan
has absorbed ALI it's railroads. New Yea
land furnishes an example OF government
ownership Of railroads and Germany also.
All the great countries of Europe all own
more or less of their railroads.
The question has been asked, Where
will we get the money to buy the rail-
roads? If you viii Establish postal saw
ings banks what will you do with the
money? England has a national debt
which is supposed to be the chief bull
wark of the nation, because the govern
ment owes the people so much that they
have to support II. And 1 say TO you
If you nave postal savings banks your
savingswill be invested in the govern
men-owned railroads and then you will
earn interest on that money and the
people would have their money invested
in their own railroads, with the govern
ment standing between them as their
agent.
But 1t Is not necessary to buy these
railroads. The government can commence
and build a railroad Just the same as
We are building the Panama canal, and
you can make the railroads meet the rates
Of the government-owned railroad or 90

so they can't afford to do anything else
then you will control the situation. over
there In Germany the great source OF rev.
nue. is the profit derived from the gov-
ernment-owned railroads, and they don't
own a little more than half Of them"

WILLIAMS DIVISION PLAN.
Proposition Of Founding Of Arkansa-
MIA County.

Proposition Of Founding of Arkansas
MIA County.
The first real gun in the Williams
county division fight has been fired.
Attorney George Cudhie presented
petition to the board of county COM
missioners. The prayer of the petit
ton was granted, and resolution was
passed providing that the matter go
upon the regular ballot and be voted
upon in November.
Attorney Cudhie says that the tax
payers of his portion of the county,
which would be called Arkansania.
are deeply anxious to invest in some
new county buildings and a court
house of their own, and that they will
gladly shoulder the expense Of the
same. He says that most Of the vot-
ers up there think that now is the
time to divorce from Williams, and
that he was here as their instrument.
1t is believed that the carrying Of
county division will mean the expen-
diture by the people of that end Of
the county of at least $4,000 in new
buildings and county improvements,
all of which would be borne by the
taxpayers of the new county. One Of
the strong workers for divorce from
Williams county is George Homes,
the Republican nominee for repre-.
sentative.
