railroad TO Chicago for the use of
manufacturing binding Irvine. 1t Is
thought that the hemp can be used
as substitute for Mexican sisal,
which heretofore has been used ex
elusiyely in the manufacture of bind
ing Irvine.
Harry Baldwin. foreign freight
agent of the Illinois Central, said
rBecause of the tariff on Mexican
sisal and the absence of duty on the
Philippine product, the use of Manila
hemp will result in great economy TO
American industries should 1t prove
a. satisfactory substitute. This ini-
tial shipment is in the nature of an
experiment. The haul around Cape
Horn was found cheaper than trans
porting the cargo BY rail from the
Pacific coast TO Chicago"

Tuesday afternoon at Lane City,
while Miss Alice Beach and Miss AL
ice Sullivan we're visiting Mrs. ID. v.
Curto at her home they heard noise
near the house that attracted their
attention. and looking out OF the
window saw a large lynx near the
chicken house. The sight of the an
imal In no way frightened the young
ladies', but on the contrary they saw
"a chance to go hunting for large
game without going to Africa. They
took a 22 caliber rifle and with Mrs.
Curto In the lead. they went out of
the house and when favorable OPP
portunity presented itself, Mrs. Cur
10 raised the gun and taking DELHI
crate aim, fired. The bullet pierced
the heart of the Lynx and it fell
over head. The ladies feel very
proud of their little experience.

pleasant for the gang If he heard of

said that he was convinced that work

town. but was unable to secure the
necessary evidence to bring about a
conviction. Last evening. Deputy
Sheriff Jackson and Constable Me
Lean went To Riepetown in three
seated wagon to bring the prison
ers TO the county jail. White was
removed from the county jail yester-
day afternoon to the city jail, as the
officers did not want to have him in
a position where the other members

The officers returned from Riepe-
town at an early hour this morning,
bringing with them the four persons
for whom warrants We're issued.

could pick out the melody of an old,
forgotten opera. Rather than tempt
fate she decided not to answer this
letter. 1t would be neither wise nor
useful.
Romance! The word came back to
her With an unmusical laugh she
stood up. shaking the letter to the
floor. Romance! She was no longer
a girl. She was a woman Of FIVE and
twenty. and what should a woman
know Of romance? All. there had been
a time when all the world was ro-
mance-romance; when the night

the moon and the stars had spelled It.
Romance! She hated the word not
less than she hated the Italian Ian

itself. She spurned the letter with
her foot and fed the newspaper to the
fire.
