to those which run from lake oities to

It needs no argument TO support It.

dc on tho competing railways in
creased still moro largely and the div

annum.
Similar results followed tho canalI-
zatlon of the River Main. from May
ence, on the Rhine, to Frankfort,
which was finished In the latter part
Of 1886. The river traffic, which
amounted to only $4,000 tons in that
year. began to grow and has kept on
growing. being l.273,o00 tons In 1902
There are two railroads between
Frankfort and Mayence. one on each
side OF the river. What happened to
them? Did their business show a Sc
rious falling off7 Or were they forced
into the hands OF receiver2 On the
contrary their traffic, which was 911,-

when the railroads had a practical

SETS THE STYLES
College Lad Now an Important Factor
in Matters Sartorial

Kindly take note of the passing OF
the dude" said a local tailor yester-
day. Nowadays we call him the rah-
rah- boy from college. Perhaps II is
only different manifestation OF the
same instinct, but there are very few
mere dudes now.
Il don't know just what happened,
but l believe the men have learned
how TO dress, without going to ex-
tremes. and the fashions now are less
pronounced and sensational than they
used to be. You will recall the days
of the wide trousers, and the narrow
collars, and the high collars, and other
awful developments. but there is not
much of that sort of thing these days.
1T Is the college boy now who sets
the styles, and the business men fol
low. He has pegged the tops of all
trousers more or less, and sets a lot of
other fashions. Note the brands of
ready made clothing with college
names. Nearly every dealer caters to
them more or less, and If n man can
suit the college crowd, he can be sure
Of the older men.
About the only simon-pure speci-
men of the classic dude that used To
be cartooned with eyeglasses-but isn't
any more-is the man who carries
zane that is for ornament only. There
ire few of him left, but not many.

STATE BAR MEETING
Many Down State Lawyers Expected

The current issue of the Detroit Lee
gal News contains an article on the
meeting Of the Michigan state Bar as
ISOLATION to be held i'm Marquette July
26 and %, portion of which is quoted
below:
The Michigan State Bar association
will hold its annual meeting for 1910
at Marquette on Tuesday and Wednes-
day July 26 and q, beginning at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. The upper
peninsula lawyers are very anxiouh TO
make this n most successful meeting
of the association. 1t is the first meet
ing of the association to be held In
that part of the state. If the lower
peninsula lawyers will do their share
by attending the meeting II is assured
that the upper peninsula lawyers will
ably perform their part.
THE program will soon be complete
ed and notice of it's makeup will be
given to the members later A ban
quet will be held at Marquette. Mem
bers attending will be asked TO nav
for their own banquet tickets. This
Is not upon the suggestion of the Mar
quette or the upper peninsula lawyers,
Dut is the expression of the members
Of the association generally, to the eff
feet that they think IT Is improper for
any local bar association to sustain
the expense of banquet to visiting
lawyers. The Marquette lawyers are
already planning other forms of en-
tertainment for the visiting brothers."

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb 22.-Chey-
enne sports will celebrate the immortal
Georges natal day with a boxing
match in which Sam Langford, the
clever negro, and Nat Dewey will be
the opponents.
Langford has two fights on for next
month. He is matched to meet Tony
Ross in a six-round bout before the
National Sporting club of Pittsburg,
on March g. On March II he will go
forty-five rounds with Jim Flynn at
Vernon, near Los Angeles. Langford
recently fought Flynn ten rounds in
Los Angeles, as a result of which
Flynn gained a newspaper decision.
The colored boxer is confident he can
