LONG TRIPS FOR DEAD.
Body that Crossed Atlantic Four
Times Will be Buried at Sea.

After being carried four times
across the Atlantic, a distance of
more than 10000 miles, the body Of
Mrs. Johanna Strich, who died at
635 Amsterdam avenue, New York,
on July 5, will be buried at sea on
Friday at sunset from the North
German Lloyd steamship Kronprinz
Wilhelm.
In her will Mrs. Strich directed
that her body should be buried in
the Jewish Cemetery in Breslau, Ger
many, her native city. Her daughter,
Mrs. J. Reinshauser, took the body
to Germany and brought it back
again, as the charges for grave
were too high, Mrs. Rienshauser
thought. Relatives persuaded her to
so again and carry out the instruc-
tions in the will. On the second
visit it was found that there was no
room in the cemetery at Breslau. The
body was brought back here and yes
terday Mrs. Reinshauser sailed on
the Kron prinz Wilhelm from Hobo
ken to bury her mothers body at
sea.-New York Times.

Three Ladies Narrowly Escape In
jury in Accident Near Orangeburg.

Orangeburg. Oct. BY jumping
from an automobile, which had STALL
ed on the Southern Railway tracks,
at crossing about four miles above
this city. Mrs. Adam II. Moss, who
was driving the car: Miss Elizabeth
Baskervill and Miss Maize Breeland,

serious, if not fatal injury, when
Southern Railway train No. IA, from
Columbia to Charleston, struck the
machine, which was practically de-
molished.
While crossing the tracks the car,
from some unknown cause, suddenly
stopped, before the rear wheels were
clear. After several efforts failed to
bulge the automobile the occupants
got out just before the crash. The
wrecked machine was owned by COL
Adam H. Moss, of this city. The ac-
cident occurred about 5.4 this after

GOVERNMENT MAY OWN WIRES.
Federal Ownership of Telegraph and
Telephone Lines Suggested.

Washington, Oct 2.-Government
ownership Of telegraph and telephone
lines is TO be proposed in bills Rep
resentative David J. Lewis, Of Mary
land, now is drafting for introduce
ton in the House within month.
Though the measures, which would
have these public utilities taken over
as part of postal service, have not
been made an Administration policy,
the President is known to have dis
cussed the idea with Representative
Lewis and others. Mr.. Lewis has col
lected a mass of data on telephone
and telegraph operation and has pre-
pared estimates as to their cost to
the Government, their availability
as a source of revenue and cost Of
maintenance. He also has worked
out a plan for their requirement and
operation as Government public utl;-
tiles. Representative Lewis frequent
" has consulted with Postmaster
General BurleGop concerning his
project.
When the Maryland Congressman
reviewed his plans with the president
the latter, it is reported, evinced
considerable interest, but 1t is
known that consideration of the mat
ter has not advanced sufficiently for
the project to be designated as an
Administration plan. Representative
Lewis, however, proposes to press
the projected legislation vigorously
and already has procured the en-
dorsement of many members of Con-
ereSS

The Happiest Man.

The happiest man in the world is
the common, everyday chap who
makes his own living, pays his own
bills and has the respect of his neigh
bors. He saves a little money as he
goes along, but he does not try to get
a corner on his local output and he is
not a slave to ambition or society. He
never expects to wear out his trou-
sers in the senate, and when he glldes
out Of bed in the morning he never
wastes any time to pick out the right
tint of socks, suspenders and necktle
that will blend with general effect.
He only wears a high collar when he
feels like it. and when his pet corn
begins to hurt he jerks out his knife
and cuts a four-inch cash in the side
of his shoe and nothing is said about
it in the local papers. He never has
to sit up at night to poultice his con-
science. He believes in the doctrine
of live and let live. When he encoun-
ters one of the needy he doesn't t
stutter with his pocketbook. The
plain plug of man is happy because
he is satisfied and doesn't spend half
of his time yearning for something
which his salary will not permit. Give
us more plain men and the world will
be better.'- .'-Springield, Tenn, Her

HIS DREAM COMES TRUE.
Rudolph Myers "One-Man Railroad
to Be Finished.

Four years ago Rudolph Myers,
hale and 40, and his two mules, Jen-
ME and Mike, came to Jetmore. Ru-
dolph built a little shack and housed
himself and his mules. He then an
nounced that he had come to build a
railroad between Jetmore and Gar
den City, says a Jetmore, Kan, dis
patch. Myers had the cash and pur-
chased the right of way at nominal
figure, for the farmers were inter-
ested in him and wanted the road
built.
For four years Myers toiled along
with his faithful mules. He cooked
his own meals and lived in the shack
with the animals. No one could get
him to discuss his railroad and every
one dubbed it the "one-man railroad
of Kansas" and laughed when it was
discussed. But Myers kept on
working.
Today neighbors were astonished
to see a regular railroad gang at
work. The workers said they were
employed by the Santa Fe railroad
to build cutoff from it's branch at
Jetmore to Garden City. Myers SEEM
ed to be the master of ceremonies.
But he wouldn't discuss the new
arrivals. However, as he patted Jen-
rie and Mike he smiled and said to
them:
I'VE won't have to work much
longer, will we, old friends?'

Try to Beat Up Train Crew

Columbia, Oct. 2.-Angered be-
cause of refusal of the conductor to
allow dogs to be carried on the train
some parties at Parr Shoals, twenty
three miles from Columbia yesterday
afternoon knocked down Conductor
T. W. True and his porter and
slightly injured Engineer Orr, either
by a stray bullet or billet of lumber
as Train No. IA, of the Southern
Railway pulled out of Parr Shoals
for Columbia.
The conductor is said to have been
hit across the head with a piece of
wood and is painfully bruised. 1t is
thought that Engineer Orr was hit
by bullet fired by some member of
the crowd, but this is uncertain. He
was only slightly wounded. The ne
gro porter was knocked down and
bruised.
According to the information avail
able here, it seems that when
Train No. IA reached Parr Shoals
some parties there wanted to put two
dogs on the train, but as they were
not provided with either collars Or
chains, as required by law, Conductor
True, declined to permit the dogs
aboard and signalled for the train
to 90 ahead The ones wanting the
dogs carried, angered by the re-
fusal, are said to have started to-
wards the trainmen. Conductor
True received a lick across the head
with a piece of wood. One story is
to the effect that the negro porter
rushing to the assistance of the con-
ductor was confronted by a gun in
the hands of one of the party and
abruptly halted only to be knocked
down. The trainmen recovered them
selves and got aboard, but Engineer
Orr received a wound either from a
stray bullet or from a piece Of wood.
AS far as known, no arrests in
connection with the affairs have been
made at Parr Shoals.
The matter caused much comment
especially among the railroad men,
and there was general Indignation at
the treatment, accorded the conduc-
tor and engineer. Parr Shoals au-
thorities will likely be asked to make
rigid investigation into the affair.

even the defendant, A. 0. Jacobs,
erst-while husband of five wives, y
threw up his hands when asked for
details. were brought out at to-day S
session of the trial of Jacobs, charged
with bigamy. Jacobs is horse deal
er. Four of the wives are living.
Tie charge was brought by Mrs.
Mary Paul Jacobs. of this city, who
said Jacobs already was united to
Mrs. Cora Andrew Jacobs, of Kansas
City, Mo-, when he married her. Un-
der a Kansas law prohibiting remar-
riage withing six months after di-
vorce, Jacobs contended both these
marriages were illegal, since he con-
tracted them within six months after
his divorce from Mrs. Merle Maher
Jacobs in Fort Scott, Kansas, and,
therefore. was no bigamist. In re-
turn the State sought to prove the
divorce had no effect on the case in
asmuch as the marriage in Fort Scott
was itself illegal, having been con-
tracted a month before, Jacobs was
divorced by former wife, Mrs. Katie

1t was at this point that the horse
dealer threw up his hands and as
serted it was impossible for him to
remember "all the red tape sur

Coin in Rural Mail Boxes

Picking up loose money has grown
to be such a hardship for the over
worked rural free delivery carrier
that the postoffice department has
issued an order warning reckless
citizens against leaving loose coins
living around. Coins must be tied in
bundles or enclosed in envelopes
whenever the patrons of rural routes
want stamps from a carrier and
leaves the necessary amount in the
wayside box.
