Reduced Rates for Ills Notification
Day Are Refused.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Norman e. Mack,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, was notified Friday night
that no reduced railroad rates will be
put into effect for the Bryan notifcar
tion meeting at Lincoln, Neb., on
August IL. The communication came
from Eben Mcleod, chairman of the
Western Passenger association. and
was In reply to a letter sent to that
Official by Mr.. Mack earlier in the day
and calling attention to the fact that
reduced fares had been granted on the
occasion Of the Taft celebration in
Cincinnati, whereas no concessions
had been made for the Democratic
gathering. Mr.. Mcleod explained the
action Of the railroads by referring to
the fact that no reduced rates had
been put into effect for any events in
Nebraska since the passage of the
two-cent fare law in that state He
also emphasized the fact that the re-
duced rates to Cincinnati were offered
by the Central Passenger association.

MAN HOLDS MANY JOBS.
Reporter Is Mayor, Magistrate, Audi.

Courtdale, Pa.-Not many public Of
fees have escaped George Washington
Williams, who is burgess or mayor,
Justice Of the peace, auditor, secretary
of the council or city clerk, and pres
ident of the board of health. Were he
to lose his job as reporter on a local
paper he might easily pick out and
handle several other borough posi-
tions. Williams moved to Courtdale
from Wilkesbarre two years ago. AL
most Immediately he was elected Sec
rotary of the borough council He
still retained his newspaper Job, and
one night was detailed to report a
Republican caucus. Much to his sur
prise the caucus selected him as a
candidate for burgess. He accepted
and was elected by four votes over
Jacob Hunt, who had lived there so
years. His administration is a big
success. And then the other Offices
came. Only one person in Courtdale
held as many Offices as Williams.
This was Miss Louise Bennett, organ
list of the Methodist Episcopal church,
organist for the Sunday school, teach
er, superintendent of the Junior Ep-
worth League and president of the
Women's Home Mission society Just

REVERE BELL IN ITs TOWER.
Slnoe 1910 This Boil Has PeaIed Forth
I. Calls for Service.

Boston.-The Unitarian church at
Norton has two distinctions. In the
first place it was organized 1874 years
ago, making it one of the oldest re.
:ligfous societies of continuous exist
ence In this state. In the second place
there is one of the much-coveted Paul
Revere bells in the tower Of the edi-
fee. .~.
Since 1910 this bell has pealed forth
the calls to services, and to-day its
condition Is good. In that year a
number Of men and women who con-
sidered the Unitarian church as their
home Of spiritual endeavor, raised a
sufficient sum among themselves to
purchase the bell and offer it as a gift
to the parish.
On March 26, 1910, tho records show
that it was voted to accept the pres
ent made to the parish of bell, give
leave that said bell be hung on the
meeting house, and that the ringing Of
the bell on Sunday morning be nine
o'clock"
The bell was bought at Boston of
Paul Revere & Sons. It's net
weight" was 875 pounds and It's cost
was $367.50. It was guaranteed for
one year.
The church society has had 16 pas
tors. The first was Rev. Joseph Avery,
in 1714, although Rev. Mr.. Phillips of
Andover, preached quite regularly as
early as ITO. He was the father of
the founders Of Phillips Academy.
The site of the first church was 10.
Gated by the general court, It was
erected in 1910. The seats were not
put in until 1715. That building was
replaced by larger one about 1850
The present structure was built in
1885.

Judge Grindeland returned on Fri
day Of last week from his trip to the
Canadian Northwest. He went as
farABest as Edmonton. visiting also
Prince Albert. Saskatoon, Regina.
and number of other important
towns. Mr.. Grindeland was much
impressed with many things that he
saw in Canada and particularly so
with the method of enforcing the
law against noxious weeds. The
wheat fields in Canada are remark
ably clean. The government has a
system of inspection which Is ex-
cellent. Inspectors travel through
the country and whenever weeds or
mustard are found on a farmers
property he is notified. If he re-
fuses to remove them the govern
ment does the work and the expense
is charged up to the property owner.
In some cases where a farmers field
is unusually bad. it is burned in
order to prevent the spread of the
nuisance.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gratzek and
some of their children. of town of

ONE STONE FENCES FARM.
Missouri Man Has Land Where Ma
.~ Wheel Ever Rolled.

Jasper, Mo>-Within sight OF this
town a settler has farm which prob
ably is unlike any other In the world.
This farm occupies the tableland on
the summit Of ridge and is inclosed
with q fence which no animal has ever
broken through. It does not rise above
the surface Of the farm, but falls sheer
from the edge distance of many feet.
The man who homesteaded the table
land had hard climb up the face of a
perpendicular cliff to reach the COM
paratively level summit.
Atone point ledge extends out q
few Inches and along the face Of the
cliff ate upward grade. BY following
this le4ge and making use of occa-
sional Doints of rocks and of shrubs
growing in the assures the discoverer
pulled himself to the summit and
foundfa surface we'll covered with q
soft and luxur1ant vegetation.
e Gradually he improved the ledge un-
til he could carry up tools and seed.
BY blasting and drilling he cleared q
narrow trail, up which he was able to
take first some pigs and then cow.
Later On he took up horse.
g.. And that to-day is the condition Of
this cur ausly. protected farm. No We
hicles has turned a sWheel within its
limits OF palisades. The live stock has
multiplied and consumes the grain
raised Some stones thrown across
the trail completely fence in the hogs
and cattle When the farmer has
stock to sell he drives the animals
down the private trail and strikes the
road to Jasper.
