of the car, and has badly sprained

like he had been in a tight place,
and is thankful it. is no worse. He
is the worst hurt of any of the
train crews.
Engineer Ben Smith of the pas
senger has cut in his forehead,
and another on the side of his face,
bat declares he is all right.
Engineers Bennett and French of the
freight are bruised from rolling
down the bank, and one of the
brakemen had his head cut some
what.
Conductor Quigley of the passeng-
err train was thrown down and is
considerably banged up. All the
passengers were more or less shak-
en- up, but are glad that they got
out alive. The injured were taken
in automobiles to the hospital and
to DIR. Knott's Office, where their in
juries were attended to, and later
the train was made up and they were
taken over the Vandalia to De.
long and over the Erie to Rochester,
where they resumed their journey.
The north train due here at 9:2s
had to make the same detour, com
ing in three hours late.
The loss will be heavy one, as
the engines are all badly broken up
and there are five freight cars that
are beyond repair. The passenger
ears were not thrown down the
bank. and can be repaired with
small loss.
J Herman Taber was over on the
Michigan road, driving north. Ht
saw the passenger engineer reverse
his engine, heard the whistles and
saw the men jump. The next in

MR.. HENsLEY INTRODUCES
NAIoNTAL GOOD ROADS BILL


NAIoNTAL GOOD ROADS BILL.
C0ugTc Walter l.. H.u-.ry
has introduced in the House a 'ili
I" rroyid" for tn" building Of good
roads through tn" cO-uperatiou If
the Federal Government, the State.
Territories and counties thereof. 1t
provides for the appropriation II
so 900 900 annually for "A period Of
five years. This money is to be up-
porti0ned among the several States
and Territories in proportion TO pop.
ulation, exclusive OF the population
Of cities In excess Of 10000. Such
appropriation is contingent upon
the State first appropriating a sun
equal to the amount sought to be
secured from the Federal Govern.
ment; then any county desiring to
reap the advantages of this govern
ment aid to good roads must raise
by cash subscription, bond or other.
when out Of the Federal and State
appropriations it will receive like
amount to be used for road construc.
ton. Other sections Of the bill pro-
vide for the working machinery and
rules under which such money is to
be expended. The bin is "A practical,
commandments plan to insure guod
roads In all the States, and ought to
be- enacted into law.
Mr.. Henslcy, IN speaking of this
bill, which has been referred to the
Committee on Agriculture and or.
d"rcd printed, says: ~ sincerely IA

and assisting In "A movement To- os.
tahlish better roads throughout the

Of our Government, and wisely so.
10 lend aid To- various projects of ~.
t"rual improvement. Therefore it
seems {" m" that this proposition
should commend itself and meet
with general approval.
II believe in Il iudicious eNpcudi-
turc Of public moneys: believe
that "" should oconomisr, for in
stance, in our appropriations for the
Army and Navy. desire here to
submit TIA" following figures: For
the Army and Navy in 1905. $50, h..
j1s.49; IN lHl2, S2js, III .0S2. 80.
From these figures you will oh
serve that our expenses in this re-
gard have increased approximately
four fold within the last twelve
years, Notwithstanding that We
have, since 1900, enjoyed an era Of
national peace. 1t Is prudent, II
course, To- maintain an army and
navy, but fear TIA" spirit Of mill.
tarism Is running riot with our GOV
"rum"utal policy to the ultiuu',
benefit Of tn" armur plat" and stool
trusts. At any rate, | should prrtrr
diV"rtiug few millions annually
of this vast sum and apply It in
building public roads whereby the
common people will b" benefited,
and al III" same tim" no injury donr
our national defense.
BY this cours" We could build
good road, throughout the United
States, extend our policy Of internal
without additional
taxation, and yet adequately main
tain our army and navy. The Dem
ocratic caucus recommended that 40
hattl" ships h" constructed this
year, which saving alone would
more than cover tn" amount pro-
posed by this bill. believe in leg
islating for the masses instead Of
the classes.

PUT 4 MUzzLE ON
YOUR HOUN' DAWG

Muzzle your hOun' dog now! Within
a very short time an order is to go out
from the police headquarters for all
people to hang a muzzle on their dog
so that he cannot bite. We express it
thusly because OF the fact that the muz-
zle has been used before as an orna-
ment hanging from the capines neck.
A few days ago little girl was bitten
by a savage dog and her injuries, con-
sisting of severe laceration of her leg,
cause her much pain. That and the
coming heated term lead the city au-
thorities TO issue the order that all
dogs be muzZled. Soon the police will
begin to collect dog taxes, and after a
reasonable time has elapsed all I'M
tagged dogs as well as all unmuzzled
dogs found roaming the streets will be
taken to the death chamber of the con,
demned dog. 1t is not only for the pro
lection of the pedestrian, but for the
protection of the dog AS WELL that the
police authorities insist that all dogs
be muzzled.

When Silk Hats First Came In.

Silk hats were known in France some
years before John Hetherington fright
ened LOndoners by wearing one. They
came in with the French revolution,
when all patriotic citizens abandoned
wigs and had their hair cut short. En-
cravings printed so early as 1870 de-
pict sans culotte handles wearing top
hats. In a rare print of the trial of the
Girondists. which took place in 1898, all
the judges appear crowned with silk
hats. Although the silk top hat is not
much more than a hundred years old,
hats of that shape were worn hundreds
of years before. In Elizabethan times
cylindrical hat with brim rather
similar to that of the fifties and with
the addition of plume was worn by
the nobility. According to Raphael, 1t
was worn very much earlier even than
that A red top hat appears in the car

AUTO ROAD FROM
MILAN TO GALESBURG

G. F. Burmeister and l.. G. Dear
mand, che pathhnders of the Dayen-
port Auto club, have returned from a
two days tour 10 Peoria. The road
was marked and routed from the Mi
Ian town hall TO Galesburg and was
routed from Galesburg to Peoria.
The farmers all along the line to
Galesburg have done some fine work
towards improving their roads and
they are in exceptionally good condi-
ton. One or two clay hills, which
will likely be dragged soon, are the
only bad spots in this 52-mile run.
The five-mile road leading into Gales
burg is as smooth as a boulevard, a
big gang of men is working on it and
has the work about finished.
When the road out of Milan is
dragged this route should prove a very
popular one for local tourists, as it is
a fine one days run down to Gales
burg and back, allowing for a long
! stop at Galesburg.
In an interview with the assistant
! secretary of the Davenport Auto club
| he said that the poles were painted
with a white band from Il TO IS inches
wide and poles at all 'Y's" and con.
/ fusing cross roads were so marked. II
I is understood that the route sheets
are pnly for club members.
