Last Of Old rxpe

Recently there died in Belgium the
last of that band OF railroad conduc-
tors who announced the departure OF
the train with a blast from a brass
bugle. The custom was suppressed
in 1860. but up TO that time all rail-
road conductors were furnished with
the wind instrument. which they were
required to become proficient or be-
fore entering the service. 1t was
picturesque sight to see the departure
OF train from q small station. where
half the village turned out to see the
train and its occupants. Three notes
were sounded on the bugle. and they

BRIDGE BILL
PASSES SENATE
inter-clty Bridge Company Passed U.
$. Senate Yesterday With Few
Minor Amend
ments.
WORD FROM CUMM1Ns
Iowa Senator TeIesraphs President Of
Company Of Success of Meas
ure in the
Senate.

G. r. JOY, president of the Inter-
City Bridge company, has received a
telegram from Senator A. B. Cummins
saying that the inter-city bridge bill
yesterday passed the senate with a
few amendments tackled on to it.
The chief amendment, it is under
stood, was to prevent the power com
pany from ever bringing a claim
against the government. for using the
dam and is entirely satisfactory to all
parties concerned. One or two minor
changes which Senator Cummins had
previously suggested and which the
bridge company favored are supposed
to be the other amendments
Whether the bill was brought up by
Senator Cummins or Senator Cullom
who introduced 1t before when the
former senator objected to it's consid.
GRAFTON is not known. AS the bill
had to come up under the unanimous
consent rule it is presumed it was
passed without comment.
While the bill has been held up by
the Interstate commerce committee In
the house Of representatives the pass
ing of the bill in the senate is con-
sidered very favorable to its ultimate
success. 1t removes all doub. as to
any opposition on the part Of Senator
Cummins who has recently explained
his stand on the bill.
It is not probable that the bill will
be brought before the attention of the
house committee during the remain
ing few days Of this session or during
the special session but will be put
before the house by Congressman
Kennedy at the next regular session

proposition and think it necessity in
maintaining the county highways.
The plan is to buy one engine to be
used in the northern district of the
county and one to be used in the
southern district. The supervisors
expect to maintain the engines with
the money received by the county
from the state automobile, tax which
is used as road fund and after the
first cost the plan is declared to be
cheaper than to do the work by horse
power and much more effective.
The wheels of the engines are TWEEN

sion of twelve inches, making a roller
of six feet in width in addition to
pulling the graders. The plan has
been tried out in Van Buren, county

MRS. ESSIG rs
RESTING EASILY
Aged Woman Who Was Injured by
Roomer is Resting Easily at
the Hospital.

The case of Mrs. Margaret Essig,
who is said to have been seriously in.
jured by Mrs. Peterson, roomer at
the Essig home at 727 Fulton street.
is still in the hands of the superior
court. An information was drawn by
County Attorney McManus, charging
Mrs. Peterson with attempting to in
f1ict great bodily injury upon Mrs.
Essig, but no one has appeared at
superior court to sign the informa-
ton.
A daughter of Mrs. Essig was in to
see Judge Mcnamara yesterday after
noon, but declared that she knew
nothing of the case and would try n
have the police file the information.
AT the hospital this afternoon the
nurse reported that Mrs. Essig wa!
doing as we'll as could be expected
but that it was a question as tt
whether or not the aged lady would
have the use of her limb again.
County Attorney McManus declared
this afternoon that he had heard moth
ing more about the case since yester
day, but that he expected some one
to sign the information today. Shell
if Crimmins was expected to sign
the information, but it is thought tina,
he will wait and see if the relatives
of the injured women will prosecute
the case.

ed to investigate the case and know
nothing Of it, according to Chief Ken
