DEMANDS ALL HIS CHANGE.
Uncle Sam Sues Railroad Company
For Fifty Cents.

Demanding reparation in the sum
OF 80 cents the United States govern
ment has filed with the interstate
commerce commission a formal COM
plant against the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company and the
New England Navigation Company.
The complaint is signed by Rear
Admiral H. P. Porter, as acting sec
rotary of the navy, and it is under
stood that the navy department is
''all het up" about it.
1t seems that one day last Deem
Der, almost year ago, Thomas A.
Mccarthy, presumably sailor was
charged SO for transportation over
the defendants lines from Philadel-
phia to New Port, r. l., and re-
turn. Admiral Porter, in a four or
five page typewriter statement to
the commission, declares with great
solemnity this was an excessive and
unreasonable charge because the rate
ought not to have been more than
$3.50.
He deduces this from the fact that
the rate from Philadelphia to New
York and return over the railroad
was only $4, and the rate from New
York to Newport and return by the
navigation company's ships was
$3.50.
The admiral urges the commission
to compel the two companies to re-
turn to the United States the so
vents oyercharge, and to insist that
they shall hereafter charge no more
than $3.50 for a return trip over
their line between Philadelphia and
Newport

BUG COSTS MILLIONS YEARLY
Government Report Shows the I'M
portance of Winter Campaign
Against Boil WeeyiI.

WASHINGTON.-A loss of S25,-
O0O,0U0 annually to cotton growers
of the south is the official estimate
made by Secretary Wilson's experts
of the extent of the ravages of the
boil weevil. The study of the pest
in its winter quarters has convinced
the government entomologists that
winter is the most critical season in
the whole life history of the boil
weevil, and that to destroy ten wee
wills in winter is more important than
to destroy many thousands in sum-
mer.
A vast mass of information about
the habits of the boil weeviI and its
Information or existence through the
winter has been collected by the gov
eminent. The information gathered
shows for one thing the Importance
of destroying the cotton stalks in
the fall before the time when the boil
Weevil enters into Information, or
goes into winter quarters.
This destruction of the food sup
ply is one thing that greatly in
crease the mortality rate of the cot
ton pest. The experts of the depart
ment say that the common practice
of allowing stalks of the cotton plant
to stand after the crop becomes ma
tured is primarily responsible for
large proportion of the weevils that
enter into Information.

OLD time FAVORITE CIRCUS is COMING
Robinson,
cations Will Exhibit in Dawson Next Tuesday
Monster Visitors Are Expected.

A Monster crowd or
Mr.. William NJ Dale, advertising
manager of the John Robinson
Shows, in charge of advertising car
No. /, was here Wednesday arrang-
ing for the coming of this famous and
popular tented amusement aggrega-
ton, which will exhibit at Dawson
on Tuesday, November. 9th.
AS a result of Mr.. Dale's coming
together with small army of bill
posters and Autograph hangers the
town and country for miles around
are Illuminated with gorgeous col
ored paper conveying the pleasing
news that the John Robinson Shows
will give two performances, after
noon and night, on the date above
mentioned. And of course there will
be the big spectacular free street pa
rade in the morning before the at
ternoon performance.
The Shampokin (Pa.) Daily News,
where the show recently exhibited.
says
"The parade was the biggest,
brightest and best that ever passed
through the streets of Shamokin.
The horses were fat and sleek, some
great big ones and some little tiny
ones, and all to be admired. Three
bands furnished exceptionally fine
music, and the gold-decorated wag-
ons and dazzling costumes of the per-
formers, the big herds of elephants
and camels all went to make the pa
geant delight to everyone of the
hundreds of happy spectators.
"A large audience attended this
afternoon performance, and came
away delighted with the entertain
ment. There is an abundance of
merry-making clowns, while each and
every act is worthy of individual COM
mendatiOn, some being of such novel
and extraordinary character as to de-
serve special mention, among which
are the riding seals. These wonder
full aquatic creatures perform a series
of marvellous acts They actually
ride on bareback horses. play ball,
juggle and balance various objects
while riding on the backs of fleet
horses This may seem incredulous.
yet nevertheless it may be witnessed
at each performance.
Among the many feature acts that
deserve more than passing comment
is that of the Three Castellos in their
horseback riding horizontal bar per-
Torrance, and the American Hercu-
les, the strong man, Warren Lincoln
Travis, whose phenomenal feats,
showing the wonderful muscular
power Of the human frame, both as
tonish and amze the beh0iders. The
elephants which dance. waltz and
perform various feats subject to the
master mind of their trainer were
pronounced to be the best perform
An admirable feature was the six
horse act. The riding, driving and
managing of six horses by Gordon
Orion is a most wonderful display
of equestrian daring. In fact, every
act presented was of the highest or
der of excellence and skill after it's
kind,
The menagerie was one of the
largest and most comprehensive in
its makeup ever brought into this
section.
Taken as a whole the John Rob
inson show is recognized as one Of
the greatest shows that has ever Wis
tied the state, and such is the unan-
imous verdict heard from many of
the thousands who fiOcked into the
city to see it.
