The most disgusting lot of STUFF that
has appeared in the papers for a long
time was the description of Jack John
sons wedding. says the Davenport
Democrat. BY his open defiance of
public opinion the former negro pugil-
istic champion has effectually ended
his career, losing the respect of the
people of his own color as well as of
all whites That the Cameron girl
was not worthy of the efforts her
mother made TO save her is apparent.
II half of the trash printed about the
wedding is true. The white man who
would meet Johnson in the ring to-
day or any time in the future, would
be ostracised even by pugilists, and
no club could be found on this side

!. THE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS.
IT'S joyous road to Christmas land
Which we travel in December;
Full of hustling feet
And lighter sweet
And precious things to remember.
TITS a jolly old road to Christmas land,
With many footsteps ringing;
Full o. many plans
Full of busy hands
And the air all full of singing.
IT'S a happy road to Christmas land,
And with burdens on you piling;
Just travel along,
With the busy throng,
And be sure you keep a-smiling.
Ills very bright road to Christmas
land,
Where millions of feet are speeding !;
Children's eyes ashine,
With light divine,
Are stars to the Christ-child leading.

ARRESTS NAY CLEAR UP
DYNAMITE MYSTERIES.
Believe Chicago Building Fired
TO DESTROY Records.

CHICAGO, Feb. ARRESTS following
an investigation of the fire that des-
troyed the Board of Trade building in
December, which are expected to throw
an entirely new light on the Mcnamara
dynainiting case, are expected within
the next few days by the federal gov
eminent. A secret investigation has
been carried on by federal operatives
for several weeks. The probe was or
dered by the department of justice
after the local police and fire attorney
had failed to discover the identity of
the men seen to leave the building
shortly before the fire started.
The office furniture and records of
twenty unions, besides the Chicago
Federation of Labor, were destroyed.
The operatives, who have been working
on the case, believe the fire was started
to obliterate records of the handling of
large sums of money that had been
sent to various parts of the country.
Five members of the steamftters
union anne forward after the fire and
said they had been attending a meet
ing. leaving the building shortly before
the fire. They are not the men, how
ever, that We're seen by. the janitor and
Waterman.
