This Chap Has No Business Disgrace

From the Kansas City Journal.
In H. C. Roloff, who lives mile
west of st. Louis Church, Atchison
county, is a very unusual young
man. Not the least of his distin-
gushing characteristics is the fact
that, although he is twenty-eight
years old and not bad looking, he
has never kissed a girl, or at least
he declares positively that he hasn't
He lives with his father, who is six
ty-nine years old, and is unusually
hard working and Industrious. For
more than fourteen years there
hasn't been a woman on the place,
excepting for an occasional short
visit from his sisters, and in addi-
ton to doing a major share of the
farm work he has done Nhe cooking,
sewing, washing, scrubbing, and has
found time to devote to music, to
raise flowers and garden stuff and
make butter for the market. Still.
the neighbors say, his house is a
model of neatness.

,om. Stevens and the Teachers.

Com. Stevens and the Teachers.
From the Savannah News.
Railroad Commissioner Stevens is
right in the position he has taken
in the matter of free rides on the
street cars in Atlanta for certain OF
the city's employees. He is against
free rides for any employees unless
the women school teachers are in
Guided.
1t seems Atlantas city authorities
want to make a lump sum contract
with the street railway company to
carry certain of it's employees. 1t
isn't stated in the dispatches how
many they want carried, but it is
stated that if the city has to pay
fares it will be out of pocket about
$50, 900 a year, whereas the street
railway company offers to do the
job for $1,000.
1t isn't stated whether or not the
commission will agree to the plan,
but Commissioner Stevens is quoted
as saying that he has no objection
to it, provided the women school
teachers are included in the contract.
Surely the class of toilers he men
tions is entitled to free rides if any
class of the city employees is.
But, on what ground would the
railroad commission justify itself IL
it should consent to the contract?
If we understand it rightly free
passes were cut out by the commits
sion on the ground that there was
to be no discrimination If
there was any reduction in the trans
portation rate it should be enjoyed
by everybody.
That being the principle on which
the order against free passes was
based, on what ground would the
commission sanction contract with
the city by which the street car com
pany would give up $4,000 worth
of transportation for $4,000? 1t
may be said that the city can't stand
the burden of paying car. fares for
it's employees when engaged in city
business, but isn't the city as well
able to bear that kind of an expense
as any other corporation?
But, as matter of fact, 1t
wouldn't cost the city anything ike
$4,000 for transportation for en-
ployes when engaged in the city s
business. If free transportation is
given those who have it will do a
lot of riding when not acting for the
city. Outside of policemen there are
very few city employees that ought to
have free transportation. All of the
employees are paid salaries, just as
employees of other corporations are,
and there is no argument in behalf
of free transportation for them that
isn't good for other people. If the
proposed contract should be APP
proved by the railroad commission
it is probable that about everybody
that holds a city job would be free
to ride on the street cars at all
times. 1t will be interesting to see
what the commission does about the
matter.

A Railroad Smitten.
he Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The Seaboard Air Line has gone
into the hands of receivers and there
must be great rejoicing going on in
certain gubernatorial mansions OF
the south.
Flow on, we foaming bowls; flow
faster yet and faster! Let mirth be
wild and JOY be unconfned! For an
octopus is PROSTATE. One of these
huge, grasping monsters whose ten
tacles thrust out like vampires
fangs to suck the peoples blood has
been smitten. Give thanks, We cot
ton planters all, and sing the praise
of your champion. Shout for joy, We
weavers of cloth whose money and
energy helped to make North Caro-
lima the second state in the Union
in the manufacture of cotton goods.
For your dragon, he who breathed
out the smoke and fire of industry
as he carried your goods out to the
world and brought you back your
is laid low.
1t was valorous deed, in truth;
but there are still few more rail-
roads left in the south, and the good
work must go on.
For more than score OF years
after the war of 1861 the south lay
PROSTATE and poor. There were not
sufficient railroads, and hence there
were not sufficient means for trans
porting the crops of the fertile soil
nor for bringing back to the south

visible EHect OF PROHIBITION.

From the Augusta Herald.
Georgia and Augusta have been
four days under the new order,
which has closed the saloons and out
lawed the liquor traffic. This is too
short a time to Judge of its ultimate
effects, yet it is well to note what
changes it has brought
There has been remarkable de-
cline in the business of the police
court. Investigation shows that the
number of arrests for the first three
days was fifty per cent. smaller this
year than last.
But more remarkable still is the
falling off in the number of arrests
made for drunkenness. This class of
arrests is almost totally absent.
Another thing that has been
noted by everyone who passes about
over the city: We had in Augusta
about one hundred barroOms, of
which probably one-half could fairly
be classed as dives. In and around
each of these a number of idlers
were always to be found. If ten
such loafers be set down as the av-
erage number of loafers around each
dive land this is not an extravaganza
estimate) we have 500 loafers con-
stantly congregated in and around
them. These are now conspicuous by
their absence. Corners that had be-
come notorious on account of the col
lections of loafers and barroom buns
constantly to be encountered there
are now deserted by this class, and
as orderly as other concerns. This
has been a pleasant effect of the
new order which has brought out
general favorable comment,
These are the visible effects of
prohibition after four days opera
ton under the law which instituted
it. 1t is really most encouraging.

Papke to put him out" Papke landed five or six uppercuts on the face and had Ketchel dazed as the gong sounded.
 Papke beat Ketchel terribly in the ninth, but was unable to put him out. He brought the crowd to their feet d moment later by raining uppercuts on the jaw Ketchell's eyes were closed, and he staggered about the ring, while Papke landed at will. Both men were covered with blood.
 Both Men Groggy.
 Ketchell held on constantly in the tenth. Frequently they came together without landing a blow and Jeffries had to pull them apart, both men missing repeatedly. They were in clinches more than half the time, and Ketchells face looked hardly human, but he fought back gamely. AS they went to their corners Papke raised his hands to the crowd and they were covered with blood from his wrists to his shoulders, where his opponent had bled. When the eleventh opened they rushed at each other, and Papke went by Ketchell and turned and landed both hands to the face. Ketchell was spouting blood from his mouth down his opponents back and they clinched. Cries came from all sides for Jeffres to stop the fight, but the big referee paid no attention. Paoke finally landed straight left to the face that staggered Ketchell, and a moment later knocked him through the ropes with blows in the same place.
 Ketchell fell into the laps of the re- porters and they thrust him back through the ropes as the gong rang.
 Round 12 proved the end. Ketchell came up almost helpless and PapSe landed n straight right to the jaw. Ketchell went down for the count. He came up and Paplxe sent his right to the jaw as he came in and knocked him down again. At the count of nine Ketchell struggled to his feet, but Jeffries had already called to his seconds to care for their man.
