JOHN SHARPE TELLS
TRAFFIC CLUB
PLAIN truth
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR MAKES
POINTED CRITICISMS OF
AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, as a
guest of the Washington Traffic Club
at its annual banquet here Saturday
night, made some pointed criticisms
of American railways and compared
them unfavorably with the systems of
Europe.
Don't imagine the system of trans
portation you have builded is perfect.
1t is not" he declared. Don't imagine
it is the best in the world. 1t is not.
And don't imagine that law which
allows you to underbid water transpor-
tation rates on long hauls and then to
make up the deficiency by raising the
freight rates on short hauls is Just.
1t is not.
when we do at last succeed in es-
tablishing just relationship between
the railroads and the people, the trou
BILE between us will be over. But, on
the whole, want to say that you have
done your work devilish we'll.
Fl suppose you know" Senator VIII
liams continued, when the laugh tha
followed his last remark had subsidized
"that irrefutable statistics show tina
your percentage of passengers killet
and MANNED is fifty times as large al
that of Great Britain. Yet would no
say that the fault is altogether yours.

A Tubercular Turkey.

VIM. Stuart of this place bought a
fair looking live turkey to have pre-
pared for New Years dinner. OF Mr..
Skowbo. one of our local dealers, VINO
had purchased same with Others OF
farmer in this vicinity. Neither MI.
Skowbo nor the farmer suspected
anything wrong with the bird, but
during the course of preparation Mrs.
Stuart discovered that certain inter-
nal parts did not have a natural APP
pearance and the entire bird was at
once taken to Veterinarian Thomp-
son for post norton examination.
1t was soon learned that the turkey
was afflicted with general tubercu-
losis, many of the internal organs
showing extensive LESSONS, and the
bird, as a whole, unfit for food. This
turkey had evidently contracted the
disease from cows with which II had
come in contact in the yard or stable,
and it is a deplorable fact that SO
many of our dairy cows, fair looking
ones at that, are afflicted with that
loathsome and incurable malady. Bo-
vine tuberculosis is readily transfer
able to children and invalids where
milk is largely used for food. 1t is

BIG SHOW COMING.
j. q. ROckwell's Sunny South Co. to
Appear at the Grand Friday
Evening, Feb. 18th.

Although there may be nothing
new under the sun, there may be
something new under the calcium,
and this applies to the J. c. Rock
we'll Sunny South company, which
viii make its appearance in the Grand
opera house, DEBORAH, Friday eve
ming, February 4th.
Anyone whose music palate is not
tickled, the sense OF humor satisfied,
and their conception of dainty art
pleased after viewing this perform
ance, can certainly lay claim to be-
ing the Perennial Grounch." 1t is
one of those performances that grips
the audience and does not depend on
slap sticks nor the usual thread bare
jokes to do it. The company IS COM
posed of about twenty-five colored
people and they will endeayor to
drive dull care down the back alley.
The secret is that it excites laughter
and 1t is an assured cure for the
blues If taken in time and in suffic-
lent doses. The performance, from
hrst to last, is one continuous laugh,
1t is sparkling with new, novel and
entertaining features and it is brim
full of laughable situations, charm
ing musical numbers and excellent
specialties.~ There isn't plot enough
to cause any worriment, but as a me-
dunn for getting several mighty clev-
er vaudeville stunts before the pub
lie the Sunny South serves its pur-
pose. AS a matter of fact it is hard
ly more than a stringing together of
clever specialties, done by clever
performers, that will make the most
fastidious seeker after amusement
sit up and take notice.
The organization is accompanied
by solo concert band and a superb
orchestra. The band will head the
Koontown parade, taking place at
moon.

ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
BlOodhounds on Trail Pair Who I'll
ed Away Bars at Allison.

Officers are on the lookout for
Henry Schnege and Arthur Kemfort,
who broke Jail at Allison last week.
Kemfort was arrested in Mason City
about six weeks ago on the charge
OF horse stealing and was taken to
Allison. Henry Schnege was in Jail
charged with the robbery of a store
in Parkersburg. On account of hay-
the jail so full the sheriff permitted
Schnege and KemfOrt to sleep in the
corridor. In some way they got hold
of new file, broke ii in two and
both set to work filling their way to
liberty They succeeded in cutting
two bars and this gave them an open
ing of 12X14 inches and both squeez-
ed through. In the morning when
the sheriff discovered that the men
had escaped he at once got into con-
nection with Sheriff Shores of Black
hawk and at one O'Clock the sheriff
and his two bloodhounds went to
work. The dogs got the scent and
followed it to Bristow where they
lost it. 1t was soon learned that a
handcar han been stolen and it was
discovered at Dumont where the fell
lows had evidently left it and board
ed northbound train.

For sweet ChaYity's Sake.

A number of our citizens, especial
ly the young men, donated very gen.
erously in the way of subscribing for
periodicals in order that transient
young lady cage not given) might Sc
cure a scholarship in some college.
She was not so beastly young but
she did dress to look like girl, and
that sweet smile and pleasing voice
touched the hearts and pocketbooks,
for the price of magazines that they
may get, and then again, they may
not. There were two of them work
ing the game and man was in the
bunch to look after them and prob
ably take care that they did
not spend the money which is to go
for a scholarship CD. One of them
struck a newspaper man for SUBJ
scription--' nothing DOING" and she
acted as il she was really hurt by
the abrupt answer. She just acted
that way, for her face could not show
that she was hurt, there being too
much paint on her snoot to show
anything besides the color scheme,
and that was plenty. 1t is safe to
say that IL respectable young lady
of Waverly would go out TO solicit
subscriptions for the purpose OF Sc
curing a scholarship she would not
receive enough to take a course In
rural school, yet stranger can come
to town and get the coin, whether
the subscriber gets the magazine or
not. -Waverly Democrat
