PLAIN AND FANCY 5UckING.
Al Eaaers, Out in Knox County, Ne
braska, Experiments With Motor
cycle Hitched to a Rope.

A friend of the Review, living in
Knox county, Neb., sends us a clip
! ping which tells of AL Eggers' expe-
rience in riding a motorcycle. Mr..
Eggers has many friends in Crawford
county who will read the clipping.
Al Eggers is the owner of motor
bike that has earned the reputation OF
being the greatest living exponent OF
plain and fancy bucking.
AL had broken the animal to ride
but had broken one of the pedals in
the operation, and as he wished to
take a spin Sunday evening he asked
friend to give him a start up slight
incline. In order to get the required
amount of speed rope was attached
to the horns of the motor, the other
end being held in the hands of man
mounted on horse. When the
horse started to "lope" the motor
commenced to stutter protests at such
unusual treatment, and as soon as
clear road was presented passed the
horse and started down a hill uttering
staccato barks of derision which came
quicker and quicker as the speed in
creased, the man on the horse having
given up the race, dropped the rope
which Al decided to let drag. This
was a perfectly good idea as long as
the road was straight, but at the first
turn the rear wheel ran over the *
turning the handle bars sharply to one
side, then AL left the saddle and went
straight up for about mile describing
beautiful curve and striking the

1t is with deep humiliation we men,
ton the fact that at some time prior
to midnight last night some mischiev-
Gus person or persons secretly visited
the corner stone which had been laid
in the afternoon and pried the stone
loose and pulled it around out of place
This wicked act may result in some
punishment for the offenders as the
crime was not against Denison or the
state of Iowa, but the government of
the United States, as the state has no
jurisdiction over the building or the
grounds on which it stands. If the
parties are apprehended, as they prob
ably will be, they will find that it does
not pay to follow the dictates of
depraved and degenerate nature.

On Friday afternoon the bids for

On Friday afternoon the bids for
the heating and plumbing for the new
opera house building were opened by
the officers and directors of the new
opera house company. Only two bids
were offered on the heating and
plumbing and the bid of Al Christen-
sen of $4,356 was accepted as it was
the low bid. Mr.. Christensen was
several hundred dollars below the
other bid offered by Council Bluffs
concern, and the members of the op.
era house company are more than
pleased that the work goes to local
concern and at such satisfactory
figure. Mr.. Christensen was awarded
the contract for the heating and
plumbing of the new parochial school
on the same day, the contract price
being $1,S71.51. There were several
other bids handed in for this job, but
all of them were higher
The contract for the electric light
fixtures and the wiring of the new
opera house was not let at the meet
ing last Friday as had been expected.
A number of bids were on file, but
there seemed to be some misunder-
standing in regard to the specifica-
tons and all bids were rejected by the
officers of the company The Denison
Electric Light & Power company, we
understand, had one of the low bids
on file.

TANNING A PULLMAN PORTER
Tee-Totaler is Also Made to Take Z
Drink.

Capt. ]. Thos. Arnold of Greenville.
head of the Southern Public Utilities
company in that city, and recognized
as one of Greenvil!e's best, was in An
derson on Sunday in company with Mr.
DerieuX of the Greenvlle News. While
here Capt. Arnold told of an incident
he experienced on a Southern railway
train. The story is too good to keep,
so here goes.
1T happened about six years ago.
and to be exact it was on the after
noon following Christmas day. l had
been in New York buying spring goods.
and was on my way back to Green
ville," said Capt. Arnold. Soon after
leaving | went in the smoker OF the
Pullman where l found two mighty
genial gentlemen, one a manufacturer
of carpets, who with his friend, young
Brooklyn lawyer, was on his way to
Florida to enjoy some shooting. We
three soon struck up a conversation
and by the time we reached Washing
ton we naQ DecOme pretty lhlIidte'
The train stopped at Washington just
about 10 o'clock that night and we had
concluded to wait until it pulled out of
Washington before retiring. The train
stopped in that city twenty minutes.
and before it steamed out three gentle
men boarded our car. Two of these
proceeded on to their reservations
while the third. a typical sOutherner,
clad in clothes that advertised his sec
ton. passed through the door to the
smoker where we sat. At first blush
we could see that the newcomer had
been drinking; in fact it was very evil
dent that he had been taking on liquor
for some time This young man. who
by the way. had one of the best phy-
siuues ever saw. lurched forward and
seated himself on n small camp stool,
all the .ther seats being occupied by
myself and the two new acquaintance.
The broad ShOuldered sOutherner pull
ed his large sombrero down over his
face and to all appearances seemed in
clined to sleep it Off We three re-
sumed our conversation, which soon
turned to the negro question.

linda was an old time Georgia negress
says the National Monthly. She had
been married twice so she claimed;
her second husband had just died and
left an estate with numerous heirs.
Aunt Malinda was in court claiming
her part as his wife. On the other
side, the lawyer knew something of her
past. so he fired at her some searching
questions.
Now. Malinda, were you leagally,
married to Josh Gibbs your first hus-
band. and to the deceased. Joe Bras

he whispered-never, never! What
need of the burden on her?
In the dark he groped about this
circle, and nothing could he find ex-
cept that what was for her, he would
do. Nothing else would matter.
Then he slept, as he had not dreamed
he could sleep, in a child's peace; or
as one who had emptied his soul. be-
holding a flame burn it out to purity.
Once in the night, he awakened and
found his lips muttering: THANK
Cod" and then slept again in his
sciousness. there seemed to come
sounds, faint and far, like the firing
of a shot now and then.
When dawn came he arose, hungry
and stiffened with weariness and
cold, but with a cleansed hunger, a
somber resolve a feeling of the need
of men. When he came out the low
pressing gray of the sky was still on
the hills. He looked down and saw
a farm wagon on the far valley road.
1t came to him that this was election
day, and about the polls the groups
were gathering. But on the hush
of the morning there came again
sounds that he could dimly recall in
his dreams-gunshots. Once they
were almost like q yollev
Now, on his descent to town, he
could see black distant figures, men
moving out the road along the creek.

CHAPTER XXIN.
The Price Is Paid.

At sunset Curran was far in the hills.
There was tiny hunting shack in the
thick Of an oak scrub ridge where he
had often spent the night in other sea-
sons. with Har.an or Arne. seeking the
SQUIRRELS and wild pigeons. and now
unconsciousy, his steps led thlther.
Without thought without purpose
only he must he alone with his crisis
of defeat; he must keep reason. he
must grope for the tatters life had left
him.
All the afternoon he had wandered,
keeping from the roads. and meeting
no one. He had beheld the silent Mid
land country, the cloud patches chaS-
ing one another over the c.Ose- crop
ped meadows from ridge to ridge. the
valleys bleak in the November hush.

ing it with a rough cadence against
the bump boards of the wagons; and
now and then he saw the yellow piles
among the SllOChtu anu Nii'
pumpkin vines. Again he saw thresh.

the flow of chaff, the CLINT of the fork
tines as the pitchers threw the bundles
to the band cutters; the farm boys
wallowing in the bright straw. the girls
coming out to bid the hands to dinner
which the neighhur women had gather
ed to prepare. All this fine hearty
life seemed strangely unreal, but
curiously his mind absorbed itself in it.
He pictured the long table in the farm
house. the host welcoming the thrcSh-
ers. the discussion of the yield and
price with the weighers and sack sew
ers. as the owner let the brown wheat
run through his fingers All this he

The legal battle in which William
Travers Jerome, special deputy attor-
ney general of New York state which
seeks to obtain the extradition OF Thaw
as fugitive from justice, was pitted
against three of the fugitive's array oil
counsel, was dramatic at times. ana
near the close came dangerously near
to being personal.

subterfuge and was moved by ulterior
motives in his determination to return
