1t has been the custom of those who
leave articles in passenger trains to
have the railroad operators telegraph
to the next station free of charge for
the conductor to look them up and
save them.
This is violation of the American
interstate commerce commission law,
and the railroads have been notified
not to send kilograms, either with OF
without charge, for articles left on the
trains. If the owners of the articles
want to telegraph they must go to the

OF Fiery Meteor StaftleS Mt.
Vernon People

What Mt. Vernon residents believed
to be a meteor flashed over this vi
cinity at 9:15 o'clock last night and
seemed to alight at point near the
city.
The strange visitor which appeared
to measure several inches in circum-
ference flashed out of the heavens
from the south, flashed across the sky
toward the north and suddenly disap-
peared, apparently coming to earth a
short distance away.
The appearance of the meteor was
discovered by the fiery red glow which
it emitted and which suffused the earth
with a strange red glow. 1t was ac'
companied by tail, fiery red, also
The dash across the heavens lasted
but few seconds.

Street FIGHT
INDUCED In By Women At
Mansfield
OnlOOkGrS Let Them Scrap
1t Out To Finish
(Mansheld News)

The scene of activity In feminine
circles was shifted TO Orange street
Wednesday noon when two women
INDUCED In the almost extinct luxury
of a street fight. p. j. Michael and
George Forney happened to be in
that vicinity and when they turned
a corner they ran against a girl whose
gaze vas fastened on something that
evidently was claiming all her atten-
tion. Looking in the direction the girl
had been staring they saw crowd of
women congregated on the sidewalk.
When they got little nearer the two
men saw that two women clinched a
few times on the walk then by tacit
agreement they got over into vacant
lot where there was more room.
The crowd OF women followed them
and soon formed circle around the
female combatants. Lets separate
them," suggested one faint hearted
sister. NAV. let 'em fght," chimed
in braver woman who was evidently
thirsty for gore. "That's the only way
they'll ever settle it," By this time
the two men judged that the two wo-
men were settling an old score of long
standing.
The vacant lot offered better oppor-
tunity for the free use of fists and the
wont tho frnU uifh
and nail. Again they clinched. This
time they rolled and wallowed in the
mud and the men say there was fine
display OF women's furnishing goods
The two men described the fighters as
regular prize fighters. "They were
strappin' big women" said one man.
The war of the women was waged
flercely. They did not use their ton
CUES for swords but landed on each
other with their fists. What Impress
ed the two men the most was that
not sound was uttered by either wo-
man while they were trying to decide
who's who.
After rolling about In the mud for a
few moments, one of the scrappers
got the better of the other one and
got on top. When the two men left
she was raining blows on the face of
the under woman, while the circle of
women watched with keen enjoyment
the fight of the season. The men were
sorry they could not stay to see how
the fight ended but they had an en-
gagement which called them from the
scene Of battle. The last seen of the
two contestants the better of the two
still had the other down and was fol.
lowing up every advantage with a
blow In the eyes.

Washington, Jan. 2S.--It is no ex-
aggeration to say that the effect
upon congress of the admtnistra-
tion's reciprocity agreement with
Canada has been somewhat shock
ing Republican stand-patters are
dazed at the proposed lnroad upon
the protective principle, while the
Republicans from the northwest,
who have been crying for a year or
more for a downward revision of the
taiff and relief from the high cost
Of living, are raising their hands in
horror and trying to explain that
they have not meant tariff reductions
of this character.
The Democrats are about the only
ones VINO can tell you at present
just how they stand on the proposed
they seem to be pleased with it and
will support it.
kilograms Pour In.
The representatives and senators
from nearly every state find them
selves between two fires-the one
coming from the interests that fear
the effect OF the agreement on their
products and the other from that al
most mythical parsonage, the ulti-
mate consumer. Hundreds OF tele-
grams poured in upon members OF
congress from the common peepul,"
men who are living on salaries and
daily wages and who are more con-
cerned over their butchers bills than
they are over the protection of Min
nesota farmers or Massachusetts fac
tory men. 1t is through the support
OF the latter class and through the
well defined sentiment in the country
In favor of reduction of the duties
on the necessaries of life that Presi-
dent Taft and his followers expect
to win.
Opponents OF the agreement ac-
knowledge that the opposition is at
its maximum strength now and that
the swing of sentiment within the
next week will be strongly in favor
OF the proposed legislation. They
acknowledge that the average Amer
lean Is going to grab at any proposi-
ton which writes the word "rree"
over foodstuff items in the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, and that strong
pressure is going to be brought to
bear on congress from this source.
Fight Shy Of Predictions.
Administration leaders who at.
tempted to size UP the situation,
while admitting the impossibility OF
making any definite prediction, gave
1t as their opinion that the agreement
would be accepted by the house, but
will have rocky road In the senate.
Several expressed doubt that the pro.
posed legislation would get through
at this session of congress. 1t is
known, however, that the president
takes a hopeful view of the situation
and that he will use his influence to
the utmost to get the senate to act
upon the agreement before adjourn
ment on March next.
The northwestern senator's, with
one or two possible supporters from
New England, would be able easily
to prevent action in the remaining
five weeks of congress. There is
some talk of the possibility of the
president calling special session in
the event OF failure to act on the
agreement before.
