Passengers Must Have Tickets

L. M. Allen, general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railway Company, has
issued the following order to the
ticket agents and conductors in
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Arkansas and Oklahoma:
son and after Thursday, October
Is, 1908, passengers who are not
provided with tickets will not be
permitted to enter passenger cars
on trains leaving stations in the
above states, where ticket Offices are
maintained"
This rule does not apply, how,
ever, TO passengers who board trains
where no ticket office is maintained,
nor to those who take trains de
parting at an hour when the ticket
Office is not open. Conductors arC
ordered to post all the employees Of
their trains to guard the various en-
frances for the purpose of en-
forcing the rule. They are alsC
required to keep all vestibule en-
frances to the train closed, except
those necessary for the handling oI
the passengers.
The company by this ruling hopes
to do away with beating fare
and also the needless bother of re
ceiving cash fares on the trains
This latter feature has been matte
of great inconvenience to the com
pany, as it not only takes up th'
time of the conductor unnecessarily
but adds considerable to the expens'
of the auditing system.

The Ohio Situation.

nc Olnclnnall Enquirer Is not q
loyal supporter Of Mr.. Bryan. Its
editor, John r. Mclean, looks upon
the Nebraskan with very much the
same sort Of regard that the arch re-
publican leader of the neither world
would look upon holy water. Mr..
Mclean owns two great newspapers,
the Enquirer and the Washington
Post. Both are fighting Mr.. Bryan
and furnishing all possible comfort
to the enemy,
The fact that Mr.. Mclean is a
political apostate explains his an
tipathy to anything orthodox in
politics, especially democratic
politics.
But as a news telling agent even
Mr.. Mclean must attempt the truth
or affect the standing of his papers.
In sizing up the political situation
IN Ohio he admits that the state is
at least doubtful. But whatever the
electoral result may be, he insists
that "there is abundant reason to
believe that the democratic state
ticket is stronger today before the
people of the state than Is the re-
publican state ticket.
"Admit that party lines are bad
ly broken, the fact remains that in
the cities of the state far more re.
pubilcans are openly adverse to their
own ticket than can be found demo-
Gratis who are changing their posi-
tons.
sin 1905 Pattison was elected
governor over Herrick by plurality
of 1854 in the state. Herrick
carried Hamilton, Montgomery and
Franklin counties, and only lost
Lucas by 800 votes.
"Many men familiar with Ohio
political conditions, and some of
them of republican faith, are con,
fident that Harmon will carry all
these four important counties by
heavy majorities, and thus pile up
an aggregate vote that it will be
impossible for the republicans to
overcome. In the other counties OF
the state Pattison's plurality ran up
to nearly so, 900, and in a score Of
these counties there is much evi
dence that Harmon's vote will ex
ceed that of Pattison.
ave speak Of Harmon as the
head of the ticket, and have full
confidence that the entire state
ticket will receive the same heavy
vote as the candidates for governor.
Every county in the state exhibits
republican losses on state issues,
losses SO heavy that to win the re
publicans must gain many thousands
of democratic votes. They cannot
win with their present strength, and
their democratic re.enforcements are
not in sight"

Three Killed i'm Duel

Arkansas line, when the officers at
tempted to arrest Roberts for kill.
ing ODE Kessinger, neighbor, last
night.
As a result, the woman and
Sheriff Z. w. Mooney of Baxter
county, Ark, are mortally wounded;
Roberts and two members of the
posse, Max Lowry and his son, are
all seriously hurt, Roberts may not
survive.
The murder of Kessinger is said to
have been cold blooded. Roberts
went to the house late in the evening
and called his victim to the door.
When Messenger appeared, Roberts
fired deliberately and killed him.
Sheriff Mooney and several depu-
ties early this morning started to
arrest Roberts. The posse was
told by the woman to keep away
and when the sheriff continued to
advance, both she and her husband
opened fire.
Sheriff Mooney, who was killed by
Mrs. Roberts at the beginning Of
the fight, was a young man, and
had been in office only few
months. His brother, Eugene
Mooney, who was his predecessor
as Sheriff of Baxter county, was
killed several months ago near
Wynnewood, Ok, while he was
taking a prisoner to Baxter county
from Texas. His pistol dropped
from his pocket while he was on a
train and was discharged, the bullet
striking him in a vital spot.
This Is the third Sheriff who has
met death in Baxter county in the
last four years. Sheriff Blyler, the
other official, was killed while at
tempting to capture an escapeC
prisoner.

BY Abdullah, so much the
better. Then, having learned
his news, they could decide on
the next step to be taken.
Perhaps, if Abdullah came, they
would be able to rejoin the ex-
pedition without further trouble.
TICK had made a great ad-
- vance with his Arabic. He
was master of many words of
every day use, and had also
learned a number of connected
phrases. Abdur Kad'r knew
some French. These joint at
tainments enabled them to carry
on a conversation.
The Arab, with the curiosity
of all men who do not read books,
sought information as to life in
big cities, and Royson amused
himself by depicting the marvels
of London. A limited vocabu-
larry, no less than the dense
ignorance of his guide on such
topics as railways, electricity,
paved streets, cabs, and other
elements of existence in towns,
rendered the descriptions vague.
Suddenly the sheik broke in on
Dicks labored recital with a
query that gave the conversation

IF you have so many re-
markable things in your own
land, Effendi, what do you seek

hand in comprehensive sweep.
This IS no place for town bred
men like the Hakim Effendi, nor
for two such women as those who
travel with us. You have ridden
three hundred kilometers across

five hills, says the Hakim. May
Allah be praised that rich men
should wish to spend SO much
money for so foolish a reason!"
