STILL WAVES
BLOODY SHIRT
"FIRE ALARM" FORAKER BACK AT
HIS OLD POLITICAL TRICKS.
VERY BITTER.

CINCINNATI, o., May 7.-Former
United States Senator Joseph B. For
aker was the principal speaker at the
banquet of the Loyal Legion depart
ment of Ohio and the Southern States,
and in the course of his address, de-
nounced in scathing terms the pro-
nosed Inscription on the monument to
Mayor Wirz, the keeper of Anderson
vile prison.
The reference by Senator Foraker
to this matter was made in connection
with discussion of the proposed hon
or to Jefferson Davis in the silver SER
vice for the battleship Mississippi AS
to this, Senator Foraker declared there
was a limit to such things. He felt
that the limit had been reached in the
proposed inscription on the Wtrz mon
ument and he added that he would
not shed any tears If some old indig-
nant patriot were to place under that
monument enough dynamite to blow
it up. We lay no blame for It," he
continued, ION the men of the South,
who had bravely fought for their
cause, but it does not become the vet
Grams of the country to forget what is
due the men who fought and died,
glad as all would be to forget all bit
ter memories of the strife"

PERSISTENT RUMoRs AFLoAT Re
eARpINo POSSIBLE RAILROAD
CHANGE ON JULY I.

HOPKINSVILLE. Ky. May s.
with the nearer approach Of July l
the reports multiply to the effect that
the Illinois Central is to again assume
control Of the Tennessee Central Rail
road at least from here to Nashville.
Ohcials steadfastly maintain a dis
Greet silence regarding the matter, but
every few days something is done to
start the TumOrs anew
At Princeton, the point where the
Louisville-M emphis main line crosses
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS line, the
actions of a corps of civil engineers
have caused much speculation. These
engineers are evidently engaged In
LAYING out a route connecting the line
from this city with the main line In
such a manner that passenger trains
will not have to switch and back up
10 the depot as they now do. This
switching and backing consumes more
time and mileage than would be the
case if a more direct connection could
be made between the roads. THIS
was one of the improvements which
had been projected just before the
Illinois Central relinquished the Ten
nessee Central, and the renewal OF the
work leads to the belief that the roads
are to be again placed under one man
agement.
All sidings between Princeton and
Hopkinsville have been ordered to be
supplied with big lots of ties, and from
this it is deduced that the track and
roadbed are to be put in the best OF
condition in preparation for the run
ming of fast and heavier trains.
The telephone system, which is to
supersede the telegraph on the ILL
nois Central for the handling of trains,
is rapidly being installed, and is ex-
pected to be In operation In a Few
days.
other railroad rumors that are be-
ing muchly talked just now are those
regarding the early building of the
Cairo & Norfolk road, which his pro-
iected to run across the southern part
of Kentucky, from Wickliffe to Cum
berland Gap. According to reports
that are claimed to be authentic, the
actual construction work is to be be-
gun on a big scale within few weeks,
and by Jan. 1, 1910, the trains on the
new road are to be running into Hop
kinsville.

because he wanted the money. Proud

as one who had fought for the union
According to Lawyer Ruston, Gun
bingham was seventeen years ola
when the Civil war started. He was
unable to enlist, but was so eager 10
get into the fighting that he followed
the one hundred and sixth regiment
of New York volunteers to the front.
While not regularly enrolled, he &C.
tually fought with the regiment and
also saw some service as a follower Oh
other commands.
Returning home at the end OF the

BEAUMONT BANNER
MONTH IS $3O,837
undated Demand for Apple Acreage
Necessitates Clearing of Large
Area in Virgin Foothiil
Country

The banner month in the sale of
Beaumont apple lands and city lots
was February, the shortest month in
the year, the total transactions amount
ing to $30S37 for twenty-eight days. an
average of over $1100 a day. This
makes the aggregate business for sew
enteen months the property has been
on the market over 100000, and the
company expects, on the basis of past
achievements, to reach the $h0O OOO
mark by June l. The sales force VIII
be materially added to, and the mail
order department of the business in
creased in scope to handle 2O,OOO clrcu-
lar letters a month.
Pursuant to the undated demand for
apple acreage, a force of twenty men
and teams is engaged in clearing a
large area of virgin land in the foot
hills, and Bixby and White. Los An
geles surveyors, are ribboning the new
tract with stakes, dividing it into five
and ten-acre parcels. Thirty thousand
feet of additional water pipe are being
laid, all of which is part of the appro-
priation of $4,000 recently made by
the directors to expand and develop
the potentialities of the colony. Con-
current with this work, the county of
Riverside is grading several miles OF
new streets and preparing to begin OPP
erations on two new roads providing
quicker and easier transportation for
the marketing of the products of the
ranchers.
So heavy has the demand for lumber
become that local capitalists are taxi
ing preliminary steps for the estab-
lishment of second yard, and Chicago
men are having plans drawn for a
large warehouse building, to combine
storage with the fuel and ice business.
The trustees of the district also have
under considerati ton the question of a
bond issue for the second school house,
