IT'S ALL OFF
WITH .G|ALEN.A|
County Grants Right-Of-wuy
and Line Will Pass to the
South of City Limits.

The controversy between the
Southwest Missouri Interurban
Railway and the City Of Galena
is at an end and the Baxter-Jop-
lin line will not run through that
city.
When it became apparent that
Galena would not grant the rail-
road company a franchise to run
the line across the south end of
the city at Twentieth street, the
railroad officials applied to the
County Commissioners for per-
mission to cross Woodlawn addi-
tion, a tract of land that joins
the city limits on the south,
which had been plated and
streets opened to the public, but
which has never been taken into
the city Of Galena; therefore con-
trolled by the County.
The board of County Commis-
sioners met Wednesday to decide
whether permission should be
granted or not.
1t was suspicioned here that
the same Galena insurgents
would likely try to influence
Commissioner Ira Perkins, who
lives at Galena, to vote against
giving the railroad the right of
way asked, so a squad of about
25 taxpayers, mostly from Baxter
Springs, some from Lowell and
some from west of town, went to
Columbus to meet with the board
and urge the granting Of the right
of way if need be. But the help
of these men was unnecessary.
MI. Perkins had not been co-erec-
ed. He voted in the interests OF
the county. Hevoted for therail-
road right OF way, and the other
commissioners made it unan-
imous.
Pres. Rogers says, now that all
obstacles have been removed
save a few condemnation cases,
his company will proceed at once
to build the line to Baxter, run
ming two blocks south of Galena's
city limits, and through Lowell as
originally planned. This is exact
" as Baxter desired, save that
this town would have been glad
to have Galena on the line.

TROLLEY WIRE FELL
DELAYING THE CARS

Last night at 8 o'clock, just when
street car traffic was congested to
handle crowds to the attractions
down town, trolley wire on East
Wright street, between Tarragona
and Palafox, fell and suspended traf-
Fl generally. At one time five to
seven cars were lined up end to end,
and when the current was knocked out
on other lines, it meant darkened
cars all over the city system, with
the possible exception of the Belt and
West Hill lines.
Electricians were rushed to the
scene and were not long, after they
started to work, in getting things to
moving. The first car, however. after
the work or repair car, appeared to
knock the wire out of position before
it had moved many feet over its own
length, and another delay occurred.

AIRPLANES FLY MARDI GRAs

Little activity is apparent at the
aeronautic station at present, and
though the weather has been excel
lent for flying for the past week,
few machines have been taken from
the hangers. Some instruction work
has been carried out, and maneuvers
ON a small scale. There has been no
announcement concerning the curtail-
ed work, and it is expected that fly
ing will be again in full swing to-
day.
Several of the machines have been
promised for maneuvers during the
Mardi Gras celebration and this fea-
ture is one of the great attractions
of the carnival at Pensacola, and one
which cannot be equalled by any other

"A Slip Would Be Death
But Miss Hager Rides On

She's fraf1 little girl--a hundred
pounds or ereabouts-delicate fea-
tured fresh-eyed, and no one would
associate her with the acts Of deadly
daring which to her are as common
as air to ordinary folk
For there is not second of her
ride that is not fraught with peril i'm
mediate and overwhelming! And
through It all she smiles like a school
girl who has just received bottle of
candy.
This isn't press agent story, al
though it is a reference to a feat to
witness which admission is charged;
rather it is the description of a
miracle of human daring applied to
law of'physics-
Miraculous Nerve.
Swing a rock ON a string and the
centrifugal force will overcome the
law of gravity, and cause it to re,
volve parallel to the earth.
This is the principle Of thhe Auto
drome, the big feature of the Shoes
ley shows, which are making Pensa-
cola's carnival memorable - with
these important exceptions-the rock
can't get away; 1t can't slip; the
string anchors it to the center. But

must supply that, as she hurls about

real fence, to keep her in and to keep
others out.
She Does Too Much.
But that's not all she does: she
rides without holding the handle
bars, and makes her machine do a
serpentine while she is doing 1t; she
stands up. sits side saddle, and does
other feats of daring that are fairly
enough to make the spectators cry
for mercy.
Her partner, o. K. Hager, gives a
remarkable exhibition as well. One
of the stunts is for him and Miss
Hager to ride holding hands on two
motorcycles, handle bars free. He
and she then ride in opposite direc-
lions around the autodrome; and the
finale is race between her on a
motorcycle and him in an automo'
bile.
Dizzq? Yes, But
Miss Hagar has been riding for
three years. Asked if she ever got
dizzy she said yes, but she got used
to it. Even when they are so blind
| dizzy that they can't see, they are
able to ride by the ''feel." Even turn
ing the light off doesn't affect them
when they are flashed on again the
riders have not deviated foot from
their position on the wall.

End of a Teuton Dream

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslies
 The British capture of Bagdad would seem to end the German dream visualized in the Berlin-C n-Constantinople-B e-Bagdad rail- way. When Germany made her peace move it is thought she would have been willing to trade her Belgian and French conquests for free hand to organize a vast eastern confederation stretching from the Baltic and North seas to the Persian gulf and the Red sea. For 400o years, Bagdad, the capital of Caliphs, has been a war prize, and for the last 279 years has been under the rule of the Turk. With modern irrigation 1t will become once more the center of one of the finest grain regions in the world 10000 square miles in extent. The strategic value of Bagdad's fall will be the linking up of the Russian forces in Persia and Armenia with the British army, mak- ing possible the freeing of the whole of Persia and Armenia from Turkish rule. Since other British forces are within 20 miles of Jerusalem the dream that all of the Holy Land will eventually be restored to Christian rule Is within the range of probability.
