STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN,

Owing to the ever increasing num-
ber of automobile accidents at grade
crossings. T. J. Foley, general man
ager of the Illinois Central railway
company, has issued warning to all
drivers of cars. Many of these acci-
dents are due to carelessness on the
part of auto drivers, many drivers
attempting to get across the tracks
before an oncoming train reaches the
crossing.
The railroad companies are now
engaged in campaign to educate
the users of cars to stop, look and
listen before crossing railway tracks
at grades.
Following is the note of warning
by Mr.. Foley:
'The constantly increasing num-
Der of automobile accidents at grade
crossings prompts the issuance of
this warning to all who own, drive
or ride in automobiles to STOP,
LOOK and LISTEN before passing
over any railway grade crossing.
Crossing gates, automatic. warn
ing bells, electric headlights and en-
gine signals, if not needed by those
for whose protection they are in
tended, are unavailing.
II will be glad to receive ana
consider suggestions intended to re-
duce automobile accidents at grade
crossings, for the railroad is anxious
to do it's full part. However, If every
person who owns, drives or rides in
an automobile will STOP, LOOK and
LISTEN at grade crossings, the dan
ger will be entirely eliminated

General Manager"

FIRE Att. C. COAL SHED.

The Illinois Central Railway Com
pany's coal chute in this city seems
to be in for a fire every so often.
Last Thursday night an alarm was
turned in, and when the firemen ar
rived on the scene they discovered
that large quantity of coal screen
ings had become ignited and were
about to break out into flames. The
burning coal was located in a mighty
inconvenient place and it took sew
eral hours hard work to get all Of
the coal out of the chute. Spontan-
eous combustion is believed to have
been the cause Of the fire.

"CAN" ROAD STILL FOR SALE.
(MOnticellO Express. }

The sale of the Chicago. Anamosa
& Northern railway was again post
poned, yesterday, for the want of
any bids. l.. S. Cass, the president
Northern interurban road, was pres
ent, but he showed no disposition to
bid. The opinion prevailed that the
reason Mr.. Cass did not bid on the
road was because 81 per cent of the
property owners along the right of
way had not yet signed the petition
calling a special election to vote 5
per cent land tax

CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL, OCTO.
BER 18TH AND 18TH,
STRONG PROGRAM IS Being ARRANGED
Prominent Educators Will Address the
Teachers. School Officers and
Patrons Asked to Attend.

The annual Delaware County Teach
ers' Institute will be held in tn,

Many people seem to have the i'm
preston that these institutes ara
conducted solely for the benefit Of the
teachers. While many of the sub
jects to be discussed are Of vital in
terest to teachers, there is much in
the discussion of these school prob
lens which should interest the officers
and patrons of our schools. That
these problems might be better un-
derstood by patrons and teachers alike
the superintendent asks that as many
school officers and patrons as can
possibly find time should attend the
sessions.
A faculty Of we'll known educators

tute. Among the instructors are the

He Takes Maps with Rattlers

AS soon as they find q
snake, they send straight
way for the Doctor, who
comes jogging up on his
pony, an old meal sack
thrown over the pommel of
his saddle and a light rid
ing-whip in his hand. A
light tap of the whip on
the snakes head makes it
dizzy. At the critical in
slant the Doctors hand
clutches the snake by the
throat, and in a jiffy the
fangs are extracted and the
serpent ANONYMOUSLY
thrust into the bag.
When the Doctor rides
abroad his little riding
whip goes with him, and it
is very bad luck for a snake
to cross his path. He is of
his horse and on the trail
of the creature before most
people would have time to
get scared. When the
fangs are out and the
snake is fast in its Slated
box, the Doctor goes OIL
to luncheon just as uncon-
cerned as if he had not
just speeded through
Death Valley.
