" JIM CROW" CARS
ON c. & 0. TRAINS
Some Coaches Used on the
Southern System Used
on Indiana Lines.

Jim Crow" cars are being run over
the c. e. q. of Indiana railway.
This innovation in northern railroad
ing, though the restrictions governing
the use of certain cars by white peo-
pie, and other coaches by negroes, are
not provided in any orders from Off
Gals of the line, is creating quite a
little stir along the line, which some
day promises to be the heaviest travel
ed route between Cincinnati and Chi
cage.
Neither is it the regular custom for
all passenger trains on the Indiana
line to have Jim Crow" coaches, but
the fact remains that on several &C.
casions trains with these coaches at
tached have been run over the line,
for at least part of the way. The
cars belong to the equipment of the C..
& o. system proper. South of the
Ohio river the laws of practically all
the states compel negroes to be Sc
gregated from the whites in their
travel. Whether purposely or more
through accident some of these coach
es with Jim Grow" apartments were
transferred to the Indiana branch
line is not known.
The laws of Indiana admit the equal
ity of the negro and the white in trav-
ell and that they be segregated is an
impossible demand. Much is accomp-
lished in this regard though by the
signs over the entrance doors, For
Whites Only and For Negroes on
ly." Officials of the company mere
state there have been no orders COM
polling the trainmen to see that the
races are separated when the coaches
with Jim Crow apartments are at
tached to the train. Some of the rail
readers say they believe it would be a
popular move and no different in it's
intent than the custom in some of the
local play houses to seat negroes and
whites apart from each other.

NEGLECTED THE U. s.
Congressman Absented Him.
self for His Wedding.

Washington, June 16.-Representa-
tive Martin Dies, of Texas, apparently
lost all interest in congressional af-
fairs about six weeks ago, and has not
been seen in the house or his office
since. Recently his colleagues began
to worry. The postmaster of the
house, the disbursing officer and all
the other officers who usually keep
addresses had no Glow
to his whereabouts. His mail and pay
checks were sent to his office, and
after accommodating for some time
were usually removed.
A careful search of the capitol UNI
covered one friend of the missing man
who knew all about the strange dis
appearance. This is his story:
About the middle of April the con-
gresham married his secretary, Miss
Miller, of this city. The
was not heralded. 1t took
place in some quiet spot near Wash
ington. Coincident with the nuptials
Mr.. Dies suffered a stroke of ennui,
and decided to quit public life and
left Washington Immediately. He
rented a bungalow at Mt. Rainier. a
hamlet on the city's outskirt, and has
not been in town since. Once week
he sends in for his mail Mrs. Dies
continues to draw Miss Miller's sal
airy as his secretary. Between them
they handle the correspondence in
their bungalow. Mr.. Dies told friend
recently he was tired of public life
and did not intend to run for re-elec-
ton to congress. This is his second
term. He had been district attorney
and Judge in Texas.
His father-in-law is a messenger in
the house postoffice. 1t developed
that old man Miller, as he is known. is
the messenger who forwards the mail
and the pay checks to Mt. Rainier.

Mr. Clear is an unique parsonage and

the only complete record of the more
than 1900 persons who have been laid
to rest in Eaton's cemetery. There are
no penned or printed records of more
than two-thirds Of the burials there,
yet this man can without hesitation
lead the inquirer to any grave within
the 3O-acre burial ground. Numerous

A Burial In 1912.
According to Mr.. Clear the first
recognized burial within Mound Hill
cemetery was that OF an infant Ocker-
man in 1912, although he says the
child of some unknown west bound
pioneers was buried In prominent
corner of the place couple of years
prior to that time. All told. the num-
her buried there will exceed 1900. or
about twice as many as now live in
Eaton. There are 3O7 soldiers rest

was a man named Ashinger, who died

in 1861.

THERE is now in progress the great
est movement of tooops and warships
ever occurring in this country in time
of peace. There are 10000 soldiers of
all arms of the service who are moving
toward the Mexican border. Four ar
mored cruisers of the Atlantic fleet
have been ordered to the naval station
Guantanamo, Cuba, and most of the
Pacific division is on its way to San
Pedro and San Diego, CAL, and 1000
marines will make they temporary
headquarters at Guantanamo. They
will follow joint maneuvers of the war
ships and the army in the southwest,
chiefly in Texas and the waters of the
Gulf and the Pacific. The purpose an
nounced at Washington is the training
of the officers and men and demon
stration of what can be done in case of
a sudden call for service. What is not
announced, but what many people be-
lieve is the real reason for this sudden
action, is the bad condition of affairs in
Mexico. The revolutionists are making
great deal of trouble and alarming
reports have come with reference to
the failing health of President Diaz.
1t is felt to be important that our
border be protected and that we be in
readiness to protect American interests
in Mexico if necessary.

GEORGIA is about of the same area
and has about the same population as
Wisconsin, and it is almost entirely an
agricultural state. Yet two counties
in that state, Waycross and Ware, re-
port an accession of eight hundred and
siXty-four settlers since the first of the
year, mostly from the north Atlantic
states. In the meantime, the legisla-
ture of Wisconsin is doing nothing to
build up the state in face of a loss of
population in many of the counties, but
is seriously considering the passage OF
laws like the Employers Liability bill,
and other measures which will drive
farmers out of the business as quickly
as possible. Great is radicalism. Fort
