of unusual things, probably this is the
first time that queen and her re-
tinue and subjects completely tied up

Twin Falls, Idaho. the other day.
Tin dlshpans, tom-toms, whistles
and other recognized lures failed to
dislodge the swarm, which had settled
in the spout of the standpipe at the
water tank, where a long train OF
freight cars stood on the main line
without sufficient water in the boiler

driver and coal HEAVIER did excellent
work in trying to reach the pipe, but
the bees gave them short shift and
the men refused to make a second at
tempt.
II. A. Swab, local expert in bee
matters, bore down upon the scene to
capture the swarm. He was armed
with a nail keg and two long sticks.
He sent his helper to coax the bees
into the keg, but in less than six Sec
onds the assistant had score of ac-
tive bees up his sleeves, and he made
dash toward the railway station.
Swab also remembered he had an i'm
portant business engagement else
where.
The foreman and members of the
section crew were next routed, and
when the engineer appealed to Agent
Sullivan that worthy declared it was
a matter for the maintenance of way

stalled train suggested sending for
the sheriff, while the stoker insisted
upon calling out the fire brigade. The
brakeman on the front end offered no
solution, as he was nursing dozen
or more knobs of the size of mature
hickory nuts on face, hands and body.
Finally a bystander prescribed the
water cure, adding: 'If that doesn't

seemed to have quieting effect, and
the pipe was lowered to the intake

him on the lip.
After the excitement with the bees
two small boys climbed to the roof OF
the water tank and with bare hands
captured the queen, placing her in the
bottom of the keg, into which the
bees quickly swarmed. Swab bought

HOWARD SPEAKS
AT HIPPODROME
Former Congressman Believes But One
County in Seventh District is
in Doubt

Col. w NJ Howard of Ft Payne. for
mer congressman from the Seventh dis
trict. will address the voters of Jefferson
county, this afternoon at the Hippodrome
There are few speakers more convinc-
ing that Congressman Howard, and fewer
men of this state who are better judges OF
political situation.
Colonel Howard was an earnest advo-
cate OF prohibition. His speeches against
the amendment have won votes through
the Seventh district. and he now makes
the prediction that the amenders
will carry not more than one county in
the Seventh he expresses
doubt concerning that one.
Congressman Howard is a man of elo-
quence, force and feariessness, and there
is not a doubt that the audience this
afternoon will be entertained and in
structed.
This will be the third Sunday meeting
of the defenders at the Hippodrome. The
two which preceded were attended by rec
ord-breaking crowds and hundreds were
turned away. The audience to hear
Colonel Howard today will be equally as
large 1t is predicted.
