to GO. Here we waited for din
ner and then il was off for Cape
Girardeau."
The trip required most Of the
afternoon too, the road being not
well marked and taking many
stops for directions. Beyond
AcQuilla, we mad the longest
clay hill to ascend the writer has
ever seen. They were dry how
ever from a rain only two days
before. You would think upon
ascending each, that surely the
next would be less steep, or the
last only to be disappointed,
Reaching Cape Girardeau
about 5 .. IA, we enjoyed sup
per and then made another
splendid run Of ten miles into
Jackson, where we found poor
quarters for the night in g regu-
lar fre-trap. But as the fire
failed to happen, we have no
tales of heroism to relate.
The third morning, we covered
the best long stretch of road up
on the entire trip, Jackson to
Perryville up hill and down,
through pretty valleys and all
the time roads that know no
speed limit, except through
small towns, where signboards
put the limit at s miles, but
where you can safely risk Is or
20 without getting before a
Mayor Paul.
In the afternoon, eight miles
out Of Perryville, you descend a
long, dangerous hill into the
Mississippi bottom and you have
five miles of black bottom soil to
bounce over before reaching
West Chester, where you ferry
over to picturesque town, Ches-
ter on the Illinois side, and from
here on to St. Louis, you have
about 70 miles of prairie road,
only fair, which we covered that
afternoon, reaching St. Louis
before dark over the Eads
bridge.
Our first and only tire trouble,
in fact trouble Of any kind to the
car, was between Freeburg and
Belleville, where we had a pune
ture Of {. rear tire. Here our
feminine passengers had time to
gather in about a shock of
bearded wheat, that hung out
from every corner Of the car and
made us look like an agricultural
exhibit from the prairie state.
In St. Louis, we charged off
our time sheet another day and
a half and added it against our
chill account upon which how
ever, We hope to run a balance
before long. As the trip across
Missouri, following the historic
Santa Fe trail of the pioneers,
now marked by q state highway
is to be recorded by fellow trav-
eler, your correspondent will
take up another portion OF the
trip later.

they have scoffed at everything

they get safely back across the

knocks for "Mizzoura," they
have only boosts for Arkansas

the chills hang with US still, with

New York, July 9.--One hun dred thousand conductors and trainmen on the eastern roads. involving l5 lines, voted to strike
 for higher wages, at the referen- dunn vote taken yesterday.
 The final action will be taken Saturday, when the executive committee of the union meets and they will then decide the day on which the strike will start. The tiremen on the same 45 eastern roads won their strike

 a five per cent addition will be lallowed.
 The eastern states have also
 passed what is known as the full
 crew bill, forcing the company to have a certain number of men
 on all trains, no matter if they are needed or not and this has all
 so added greatly to the burden rOf the roads. say the officers. The union officials, however, claim that the wages have not tgOne up ill proportion to the

Attorneys for Cuban Growers Claim Discrimination Against

Washington, D. c., July D. Attorney Westcott, representing the Cuban sugar growers, ap- peared before the Senate lobby investigating committee and told of the strangle hold, the Amer'- can sugar trust had on the Cu- ban growers and how they dom- mated the Island sugar industry.
 The growers are forced to sell at figure named by the trust, OF the sugar is left at the wharf, the cargo shipped is sent in old and leaky boats, causing much loss, is unloaded on wharves in the states and allowed to remain for weeks exposed to the weather always causing a loss before the railroads handle the shipment for the growers or independent retiners.
 Every possible delay was made from the independent grower to the independent refiner in the states is made by the trust, through it's influence over steam- ship and railroad lines and the loss to the Cuban grower is more than the difference between the price offered by the trust and the price demanded by the growers.
 Attorney Westcott will be al- lowed to bring witnesses to prove his charges.

 FIGHT BuLGARS
Eastern Warfare Most Brutal Of Recent Years--Intense Hatred
 Between Armies.

London July 9.--The Greeks and Servians have been fighting the Bulgarians, although no for mai declaration of war has been made, today, however. this little formality was compiled with, and the war is now on in earnest. The bitter feeling among the former allies, caused by territor- ial greed, has caused them to be very brutal and the old and young are murdered. the wounded are uncared for, and are taunted by the captOrs. unnecessary deStruc- tion of life and property has ta- ken place and the war has devel- Oped into riot of murder.
 Romania. which up to the pres ent time, has not been involved in the war, has concentrated all her available troops and will as Sist the SerVianS and Greeks, in fighting Bulgaria., because they fear that, should Fling Ferdin- and be successful, he would then turn upon Romania and with his victorious army, crush them all so.
 The concentration of a large army on the northern border, backed as it is believed in diplo- matic circles by Russia, may cause the Bulgars to come to time and make peace, as it is not thought possible that they will continue the war against overwhelming odds, unless back ed by Germany aud Austria, in which event, Russia would assist Servia, Greece and the other Slav countries.
 England, France and Russia, are believed to have complete understanding and will work to- gether to prevent the rupture of the peace of Europe.
