therefore, between two who drive the
cross, it is necessary that the center OF

the cross-a thing that very rarely hap

confidence, and brought the Soap-stick
to an ORDER while he deliberately rolled
up his shirt-seeves. Had I judged of
SBlly's chances of success from the looks
of his gun, l should have said 1t was
hopeless. The stock of Soap-stick seemed
to have been made with case-knife,
and had it been the tool would have been
but a poor apology for its clumsy ap-
pearance. An auger-hole in the breech
served for grease-box, a cotton string

NORTHWESTERN EXTENSIONS.
Making Engagements in Yards in Sew
eral Iowa Cities.


Clinton. March 23.-The Northwest
ern railway is directing its attention 10
the increase in yard capacity at several
points in Iowa besides the projected
yards between Clinton and Fulton. The
yards will be doubled at Sioux City,
and extensive improvements are be-
ing completed at Council Bluffs.
There are at present ten miles of
yard tracks at Sioux City, and the con-
ditions of traffic on the Northwestern
railway at that point are such that the
yards must be doubled there In order
to do this much new land will be
bought in the vicinity of the present
Sioux City yards, and it is stated that
the work of charging the yards will
begin at that point in May. In the vi
entity of Sioux City much new track
will be laid during the coming SUNNI er.
At Council Bluffs several engineer
ing gangs are now at work laying out
new tracks and switches for yards near
the shops which have just been built
in that city by the Northwestern rail-
way. The entire yard at that point is
to be remodeled, and it's capacity much
increased.
Nothing further can be learned OF
the intentions of the Northwestern
company in the use of the land re-
Gently acquired by it between the
drawbridge and Fulton. 1t is we'll
known that additional yard capacity
is a necessity in this vicinity. II 1t
had not been for the new cut-offs at
Nelson and in Whiteside county which

HOLY KISS CAUSES TROUBLE.

Attendant at Divine Healing Conven-
ton Furnishes Excuse for Conduct.
Des Moines, March 23.-William
Randolph, an artist from Detroit. and
Mrs. Guy Rambo We're pinched by the
police because they were seen to kiss
each other good night after Randolph
had escorted Mrs. Rambo and her two
children home from the divine healing
convention in the 2. NJ. c. A. auditor
ium.
Mrs. Charles Roper. who owns the
house at 115 Cherry street, where Mr..
and Mrs. Rambo have apartments, filed
the charges, alleging disorderly con-
duct.
The husband of Mrs. Rambo. who is
bricklayer, was away at the time.
Returning home, he heard of her trou-
BILE and fastened to her aid
Mrs. Rambo and Randolph were ar
raigned in police court. Mrs. Roper tes-
ttified that she saw Randolph kiss Mrs.
Rambo. She said she stood outside and
peered thru the window into the room.
AS Randolph was firm that even IL he
did kiss the woman, it was holy kiss.
and Mrs. Rambo denied that they had
kissed, Judge Stewart took the case I'M
der advisement. Much doubt was ex
pressed as to whether the landlady
could see into the room. The court de-
cided to have a look at the window,
and will do so before deciding.
