People of Columbia, do you believe
you are doing right by sending your
laundry to other towns when it can be
done here neat and nice? The Laundry
needs all the patronage of this section
and if it can get it will soon be on a
firm base. This enterprise is one of
worth to this community, but can not
last without full patronage. If you
want it to succeed, if you believe it
good for the town, then give it your
patronage. Mr.. Rasner is an honest,
Industrious man, man who has worked
hard to acquire a knowledge of the
business and is now doing good work.
If he failed to please you in the begin
ing he is now better prepared to meet
your demands. Give him trial on
your collars and cuffs.

TODAY IN
CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 8. President to-
day sent to the Senate a long list of
nominations for all branches of the
Government service, practically all of
| whom were appointments announced
during the recess.
Interest in both houses centered to-
day in the Presidents message. SEN
ator Aldrich on behalf of the Senate
House Committee appointed to notify
the President that both bodies were
in session, informed their respective
houses that they had performed their
duties and expected the President to
respond. This he did with a statement
that he would Immediately submit
message in writing. The Secretary lat
er followed close upon the heels of
the two committees, appearing first
in the Senate and then in the House.
The reading of the message began in
the Senate at 12:15 and in the House
a few minutes later. The galleries of
both were well filled and almost all
of the seats of the members were oc-
cupied. All of them were supplied with
printed copies of the message, which
contained an elaborate appendix ac-
companied by numerous illustrations

News came from Amarillo this NOR
ming of the serious condition of Bar
ney Nelson, conductor of the Plain
view branch train, that was in the
wreck Sunday morning near Canyon
City; the message being in effect that
he might yet die as a result of the ac-
cident, which would make the third
victim of the catastrophe. According
to the message, Mr.. Nelson is now
paralyzed and in a very serious condi-
ton. It is known among the railroad
men that he was not in good shape
for work anyhow, and this lessons his
chances of recovery
The latest report from Claud C. Hol-
stein, fireman on the No. 201 train, is
that he is doing nicely at the hospital
in Amarillo.

ST. Louis, Dec. 7-Charles A. Elk

President Roosevelt requested his ex-

OUTFOUGHT ATTELL.
Wolaast Proved Himself the Better
 Man.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1l-Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee outfOught Abe Atten the featherweight champion before the Pacific Athletic club here tonight. The fight went for ten rounds with no decision permitted under the law.
 There was a division of sentiment regarding the verdict. However Vol gast rushed the fighting in every round, backing Attell all around the ring and landing frequent heavy swings to the stmoach that shook the champion severely. In the rallies Wolgast fought Attell to a stand still and often forced the champion to break away from clinches by his fusillade of blows to the body.
