Steel CARS
Placed On B. 6 0. Through
This City

Two new steel coaches recently or
dered by the Baltimore and Ohio road,
passed through the city In No. z this
morning.
This is 27 of the new cars placed in
commission to date and they are at
tracting considerable attention by the
travelling public. These two cars were
made in the car shops in Jefferson
vile, Ind, and some of the others
are being finished in other shops as
fast as possible. The entire order for
cars by the company in the present
order was for SO cars, and in little
time number of the old wooden cars
will be out of service and the new
ones in.
They have great advantage over
the old style of cars. It is hardly pos.
sible to wreck them as they are con-
structed of the best of steel, and the
putting of them together is done with
the experience of years of use of cars,
and they are made strong just where
needed.
They take away the one great hor.
ror of wreck, that of the burning
of the wreck which nearly always oc-
cured. 1t is next to impossible to
wreck or telescope one of these cars
as they are built with solid vestibule
and have reinforced concrete floors.

And Hoe

Salisbury, Md, Sept. 29.-Walstone
Switch, village about five miles east
of Salisbury, was the scene of des-
perate conflict today, when Theodore
Ennis killed his younger brother, Ed
die Ennis, in the presence of their
father, John Ennis.
The fight between the brothers fol-
lowed a dispute over a division of
corn which the boys and their father
were harvesting. The father and his
son Theodore had some words con-
cerning the shares of corn due each.
Eddie Ennis, hearing loud talk, came
across the field and became involved
in the dispute with Theodore,
Eddie Ennis drew his knife and
lunged at his brother, Theodore, cut
ting him and also cutting the faith
ers clothing while he was attempting
to separate the boys. Theodore grab
bed hoe, and the two brothers went
after each other like tigers, and, after
several gashes being inflicted by both
Theodore succeeded in sending the
sharp edge of his hoe in to the brain
of his brother Eddie, who fell to the
ground and died.

Had To Be Killed Before
Coroner Gould Get
Near Victim

Joliet, ILL.,, September 2S-For half
an hour late today large st. Bernard
dog prevented an entrance to a room
where its master, Steve Paul, Civil
War veteran, was sitting in his chair
dead
Not until the animal was killed
could Coroner Wunderlich reach the
corpse. Paul was sitting alone in his
room on the third floor of downtown
building directly in front of window,
He died of heart disease and the body
remained in an erect posture.
The attention of pedestrians on the
street was attracted by the motionless
figure, and the police were notified.
Evey effort to enter the room was
repelled by the dog, who had been
Paui's only companion, until the ami
NAL was shot.

Rains
Frogs Larger Than Bees In
Savannah, Ga.

Savannah, Sept. 2S.--Chatham co. has
been given fresh supply of frogs by
the rainstorm which swept over this
section last night. The southern sec
ton of the city and adjacent suburbs
were alive with the diminutive crea-
lures today. The assumption is that
the frogs must have come down from
the clouds with the rain. The frogs
are dark brown in color, with bright,
shining eyes. They are a little larger
than bees.

The entertainment given by the Bruner Club Saturday evening was short and sweet" In cspt il was so good that people wanted more and
 thought things were just warming up when the last number was announced but the hands of the clock proved il was eleven and if the time seemed only Of an hours duration, yet 1t was the full time usually allowed for high class entertainment of that nature.
 Everything should be done to en. courage these musical loving people to continue their good work, for it would be hard work in some of the large cities in the states ta pick up so great number of talented people. and one could hunt the world over and not find a better lot, or even their equal in a city of like population.

 FORM

tendency in the republic which theatens to obstruct a program of so- ciai reform has taken the form in our day of an unusual type Of lawlessuess This most dangerous type of lawless ness is quasi-legal in form and there. fore doubly insidious and endangering The lawless sale of "delicatessen" or Sunday is not as serious as the legal. ized bestowal of pardons on Monday or the outwardly legai sale of fr~n ehiSss at special rates. on Tuesdly The confidence of the masses in the Jnstce of law is impaired when if is felt that the forms of law are sUfi- eienily pliable and plastic in the hands of hypershrewd and not underpaid legal counsel to cover any violation of the spirit of the law. The most dan serous form of lawlessness is tha, which seeks to win for lawIess prac- uces end anarchic concepts the name and sanction of the law.

tn. many injustice. aesnea upon them


 the many injussices heened upon them by congressional influences and ignof- snce the people of Alaska are too loyal and patriotic to lend themselves to lsuch a scheme. Yet the very fact that such an idea is suggested and seriously entertained should be food for thought to the iawgivers who have in charge the destinies of our northern posses sion"
 Then, in an excusing way. 1t con- tinues with:
 "The people of Alaska could hardly be blamed if they did desire annexa tion to Canada. for there is no denyng that the Dominion government has treated Yukon territory wsh much more farness and noerality than has been accorded Alaska by the United States"
 The good intending Tribune undoubt edly sees things a little off color when it observes ip the course of it's article:
 Yukon has an elective commission with full power to administer the af- fairs of the territory sud to make ap- propriations from a generous fund set aside by the Dominion government. Alaska has long demanded in vain even some slight measure of home rule and today the country is pareeled out in divisions and ruled by appoint cd officials much as were conquered provinces in the days of the Roman empire. Yukon has laws which en- courage development and put a prem- ium on industry Alaska laws, even her mining regulations. are made by lcongressmen who are totally ignorant of local conditions and the industria, development of the territory has been 90 handicapped in consequence that in the last decade the population of Alaska has been at a stsndstill, which every other portion of the coast has increased its census figures by leaps and bounds.
 Residents of the Yukon are not taxed for local municipal improvements while in the towns Of Alaska the resi- dents are nor only liable to a tax i'm posed by the federal government upon practically every branch of mercantile trade and industry, but must also de- ! fray by direct taxation the cost of maintaining the municipal improve ments. all without representation. There have also been many cases of graft and incompetency among the appointed officials who have been sent out to govern Alaska. Several judges have been removed from the bench under clouds of scandal. Yukon. too. has had its corruption in high offices: bur it is significant fact that these were before the territory was granted self government. Yukouers cleaned house in an effective manner once they were given the ballot and it Is only fair to assume that Alsskans would do likewise. But the crowning crime against Alaska has been the locking up of her resources Alaska is being Sept on ice" and her great resources allowed to remain idle under .. foolish policy of conservation"
 or course we have lot to co mpiain about but, if a sane policy is pursued and work along the right lines carried out. the opposition Of the. district will oesn to disappear, oefore very long Es.
