Street Cars Next.

As far-fetched as IL might seem ev'
en- to the modestly conservative indl'
yidual. Il is not improbable that
street car service In Hickman will be
taken up this month for considera'
ton by big car concern which has
had its attention called TO the mat
ter. A representative of the corr
pany told Courier reporter last
week Hickman was good street
car town" and that they had car sys'
tens In towns not nearly so promis
iug as this city.
Contrary to our idea of the thing,
he says the geographical situation OF
Hickman is exceptionally favorable Ia
the success OF such business. Hlick'

RIDING THE BELLS

THE ringing of bell is not, as rule, a
: performance particularly trying to the
nerves; but there is one set of bell ringers
the members of which must know no fear,
for a moment of tre1nOr would IN all prob
ability be for them the moment of death.
They are the bell ringers of the Giralda, in
Seville.
When the city is to make merry on feast
days the ringers climb to the belfry, and
then, by the aid of rope and steps cut in
the wall of the tower, each mounts to the
bell he is to ring and stands astride the Shout
der of the brazen monster. Then he presses
the bell with his feet, holding on the cross
piece on which the mass of metal is swung.
Gradually the great bell sways to the mas
cular movement of the man astride it, until
it acquires a momentum that swings the
hammer, first gently, and then with increasing
force, as the sweep of the bell widens, until
the air is trembling from the giant blows
that strike the massive sides of the monster.
The mere vibration of the atmosphere, as
the huge bells ring out, would be enough to
make an unpractised ringer turn dizzy and
fall from his perch. But this is not all; for
many bells are ringing in the belfry at the
same time in obedience to the movements of
their riders, and the din is deafening.
Notwithstanding all this the riders bend
and rise and fall with the action of the bells,
now appearing to the observer from below
to be in horizontal position as the bell
reaches the limit of its swing, and again rid
ing gracefully to an upright position as the
monster sways backward with another
laundering note.
The most extraordinary part of the daring
performance is the sight of bell ringer
calmly swaying the bell while it hangs far
out of the belfry over the city; for the out
ward swing sends the counterpoise with the
ringer into space beyond the arch.

He sat there musing over the three happy
wears he had spent, of the money he had IN
the bank, and of the deed he had to the
property. He began TO take account OF the
stock on hand, to add to the figures he had
lust set down, when a drop OF rain hit him on
the nose, and he looked up, to find fearful
storm coming rapidly down the creek. He
gazed in wonder; for IN its midst he saw
whirling, seething cloud of water in the CEN
ter of the storm which reminded him of cy-
clones he had read of, or of waterspouts he
had heard of at sea. 1t whirled down the
little creek valley toward him. and then
swung off across the road, drenching him to
the skin before he could move.
He started for the house; but as he rose
he looked up the creek and saw sweeping
down the valley toward him wall of water
at least six feet high, and in an instant he
knew that the dam half mile up the creek
had broken. As the wave struck his prop
erty, he saw swirling on its crest a confused
mass of his fence and his ducks, while here
and there great blooming mass Of water
lilies showed white as the foam. From time
to time frog would jump madly out OF the
swirl, his long legs trailing behind him like
comet, showing him to be frightened by
this turbulence of his native element. On
the opposite side of the creek, with medley
of squawks and cackles, pheasants, bantam
hens, and huge fat Plymouth Rock chickens
huttered up in advance of the flood, only to
fall helpless and be submerged. The wreck
swept under the bridge, and he turned to
run toward the house, only to find that the
end of the bridge was submerged, and
space thirty feet long between himself and
the high ground was running ten feet deep
in muddy water, on the surface of which
hoated every form of wreckage his farm
would produce.
Another swirl of the wind brought the
waterspout his way once more, almost
drowning him as he stood, and when it had
passed, leaving him breathless, he looked
| toward the house again, to see break come
in the bank of the millrace where he had set
the irrigation pipe. 1t gradually widened,
| till the tiny rill became torrent.
| He tried to scream to Rose above the roar
of the waters that surrounded him. The
whole millrace had turned into his back lot
and was now rushing down in his direction,

Big Freight Machines viii be Able
to Handle From 500 to 1000

In accordance with change being
made on many of the divisions of the
Burlington railroad the first large Rs
type of freight locomotives, was placed
in service on the Hannibal division
Sunday, the day effective for the order
coming from traffice headquarters.
One of these big freight engines ar
rived in the Keokuk yards last night,

Hannibal.
All of the through freights and
locals passing To-Day, were pulled by
the Rs type of locomotive
Going north, these larger engines
will be able to pull 65 cars in a train,
when heretofore. the R3 engines could
not pull more than As or so cars. The
new and larger engines used on this
division when making north trips, to
Burlington from ST. Louis and south
ern points will be able to pull 1850
tons. Going south from division points,
5000 tons capacity can be handled by
the mogul locomotives.
The placing in service of the larg-
err engines will mean more cars to
be handled by larger engines and I'M
doubtedly a reduction in the train
crews, throwing a number of men out
of work on the divisions affected ~
the order.
