BOOSTERS GET TOWN DEPOT
Wayside Will Have Occasion to Re,
member Visit.
NORTHWEST ON FRIENDLY TERMS
Fine Exhibition of Spirit shown at
ChadrOn, Hay Springs, Rush
VILE, Gordon and
Valentine.

LONG PINE, Neb, May 23--(Speclal Tel.
egram.)-As a result of the visit of the
Omaha boosters to Wayside the people of
that new Nebraska town will get a depot
General Manager Frank Walters of the
Northwestern says so, and the visit will
be long remembered by the citizens Way
side gave the trade excursionists the well
come into Nebraska and 1t was such an
enthusiastic one, so many people coming
in from the surrounding country that the
railroad officials were convinced the town
needed a depot.
When the train pulled in just before Z
o'clock an anvil was booming and dozen
young women, living on claims from five
to twelve miles distant, appeared on horse
back, some racing along with the train to
reach the station on time.
Then the new depot proposition was
sprung. The citizens surrounded s. F.
Miller, the general freight and passenger
agent and placed in his hands a petition
signed by more than one hundred ask
Ing for depot and an agent, The Omaha
business men were also asked for a ply
sician, lawyer and drug store and bank.
General Manager Walters Joined the
party at Chadron The Boosters presented
the petition and declared they endorsed
1t and Waysde surely deserved q depot
Judging from the spirit of the place and
number OF good people living around It,
Il Will give them the depot If you will
furnish the bank drug store, physician
and lawyer" said Mr.. Walter.
I'VE will give them a bank, said David
Cole. There's no better place for a bank
and in less than year Wayside shall have
bank. "rhe deal Is closed" said the
railroad man. "Wayside gets a depot a.
soon as we can get ZIP to it. In yeaI
or less we will build"
Thus, the excursion, running in Nebraska
has scattered sunshine all the way. The
experience at Wayside Is one of the visible
evidences that Omaha trade excursions are
not alone good for Omaha, but a boon r.
the country through which they pass. The
business men of Omaha mean what they
say. Wayslde will get some Omaha none,

Many other small stations have attracted

NORRIS ANDHINSHAW REFUSE
Nebraskans Will Not Agree to Caucus

MASSACHUSETTS, MAN HAS CALL
Follows Precedent to Have Majority

Bank Measure Before Cen
eral Discussion.
(From a staff Correspondent.l }


WASHINGTON, May 3-(Special Tele-
gram.) .)-Representatlve Norris and Hem
shaw have refused to sign caucus call
for the meeting of republicans next We'd
nesday evening to consider the postal saw
ings bank bill Others OF the insurgents
to refuse to go into caucus are: Davis and
Nelson of Minnesota, rss.-per and Lenroot of
Wisconsin, Polndexters=of of Washington.
Haugen of Iowa, Cronna OF North Dakota
and few others, who did not even have
chance to refuse to sign the call.
Representative Weeks of Massachusetts
chairman of the house committee on post
offices and postroads, in asking for a
caucus on such important measure is fol-
lowing precedent extending over fifty years
He is asking for consideration of the bill
by the majority charged with legislation and
II majority should approve he will ask
for rule from the rules committee which
will prevent amendments being offered to
the measuer as reported from the COM
mittee
! 1t is expected that republicans will re-
spond enmasse to the call for a caucus and
will meet the demands of the insurgents,
who are holding out for a mandatory pro-
vision, requiring funds to be retained in
communities In which they originate, more
than half way.
The call was not presented to Represen-
tative Poindexter of Washington, and one
or two other insurgents"
The insurgents base their action upon
their desire not to be bound by the result
of a secret caucus as they preferred to
see the bill considered or the floor of the
| house,
! Chairman Weeks of the committee or
| postoffices and postroads said today that
| he had not doubht the bill would be made
In the caucus Wednesday night He said
1t was the purpose to allow the freest dis
cussion and amendment of the bill then
and later to bring 1t into the house under
special rule which would not permit OF
amendment on the floor.
1t was pointed out that a combination
| of democrats and republicans might de
feat an attempt TO bring such a rule into
the house and Mr. Weeks admitted it wa.
| easily possible If the bill were thrown
open to amendment on the floor, MIR
Weeks expressed the fear that 1t Nigh
be picked to pieces with amendments sucl
as was done In the case OF the railroad
bill He contended that the bill was
good one in its present form.

Destroy Games Enemies.

The bill, which will probably be in
troduced at this session of the legisla
ture, will provide for the payment by
the chancery clerk of twenty-five
cents for the head or foot of any
hawk or other bird or varment which
is known to be an enemy to and de-
strOyer of game birds. It will also
provide for the appointment of game
warden in each county, said warden
to serve the entire year and to be paid
salary which will justify him in de-
voting his entire time to the duties of
the office.
1t is argued that the revenue de-
rived from the sale of license in
each county will be more than ample
to defray all expenses, and that it
would be a great movement toward
the conservation of the states game,
which, in many sections. is rapidly
diss ppearing.
1t is believed that not a great deal
of difficulty would be experienced in
securing the passage OF such a meas
ure, as its intention would be to give
the same privileges to all sections,
and relieve the boards OF supervisors
of great deal of trouble and responsi
bility in this connection.
There would probably be two thous
and licenses issued in Forrest county
it is said which would create a fund
of four thousand dollars for the pro
lection of game here. and it is be
! lieved that a great deal of good in
the waf of regulating the hunting and
taking of game would be accomplished
if such law should be enacted.

WOULD TAKE AUTHORITY
FROM SUPERVISORS
Think That General Law, Applying
Alike to All Sections Of the State,
Would Work More Satisfactorily
Some Suggestions.

To have the game laws of the vari-
GUS counties repealed, and to secure
the enactment by the legislature of a
general law applying alike to all coun-
ties, so that the various supervisors
will not be required to regulate the
hunting and taking of game, is the
object of number of prominent local
sportmen, who have expressed an in
tention of asking Representative
Stokes Robertson, of this county, to
introduce bill to that effect.
The idea is to have a general law
enacted so that it may apply to all
counties alike; to take from the boards
of supervisors the authority to regu
late the hunting and taking of game
in their respective counties, so thai
the entire state may be governed BY
the same regulations; to require
| sportsmen to secure annually Ii
| cense to hunt, this license to cos
$500, and the revenue derived from
this source to be used to pay salarie
of game wardens and in other way
for the protection of game.

MAY BUILD $4,000
PLANT in DISTRICT
Over the FieId-Satisfied With Natu-
raj Advantages Offered-Went
From Here to Biloxi.

Among the new industries, proposed
for Hattiesburg during the week is a
turpentine still, Joseph L. Yost. mana
ger of the Michigan Turpentine Com
pany, of Bay City, Mich, was in the
city the fore part of the week looking
over the field with view to estab-
fishing such a plant, and while here
took a short trip around the district
with j. s. Lea, of the firm of Lea &
Duke, and expressed himself as being
satisfied that exceptional natural ad-
vantages were offered.
Mr.. Yost left Wednesday for Biloxi
and it was impossible to interview him
while here, but Mr.. Lea says that a
small plant can be built for $4,000,
which, running night and day, as 1t Is
proposed, will use up about rs cords OF
stumps daily and produce an enormous
quantity of turpentine and its by-pro'
ducts it. 1t is said that experiments
made from the stumps of Mississippi
pine indicate that much better grade
of turpentine, tar and rosin can be
produced than from northern pine
and, by reason of cheaper labor, at
better profit than is realized from the
northern stills.
1t is said that within six days aftei
tho nlant is comnieted the entire out
put can be placed on the market. Mr.
Yost having said that he has a suffi
cient number of names of wholesale
dealers to practically guarantee quicl
sales. He is to return to Hattiesburi
during the coming week to look int
the matter further.

IS in JAIL
Man Charged With Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses
Couldn't Make Bond.

That trouble never comes singly is
true at least in the case of ]. M. Bat
tersby, the man recently arrested in
Mobile on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
When Battersby was brought back
to Hattiesburg by Constable Riley, he
experienced no difficulty in making
the $4,000 bond required of him on
the five affidavits which had been filed
in the office of Justice of the Peace
Bolton, C. E. Tuhker having signed
the bond because of the belief that
Battersby was Mason in good stand
ing.
Since that time, however, other
charges have been preferred against
Battersby, making it necessary to in
crease the amount of his bond to $500
and to ascertain whether or not he
was Mason in good standing. those
who proposed to sign the bond asked
committee of local Masons to exam
inc him, the examination revealing
the fact that the man had been a Ma
son but had not paid his dues since
1901.
He was unable, therefore to get the
bond signed, and was accordingly
placed in Jail until Saturday, when ht
will be tried before Justice Bolton
1t is understood that several othel
charges besides the ones which have
already been filed, will be made whel
the case is called for trial.
