Railroad Commission
Orders Trains Restored

Pierre, Nov. 1.-The South Dakota
railroad commission, in an order sent
out last night, directed the North
Western railroad to restore passenger
train service practically as 1t existed
prior to the railroad strike, with vir-
tually the same schedules. The dates
on which the railroad is ordered to re-
store service are Nov. Is and 20 and
Dec. Is.
The order of the railroad commits
sion provides that on Nov. IS, passen-
ger trains No. 6 and Z, between Pierre
and W~atertown, and No. 16 and IL,
between Watertown and Brookings,
be reinstated. Trains No. 6 and z
are now operating between Water
town and Redfield.
On Nov. 20 the order requires trains
No. SIG and SIT between Pierre and
Elkton, be returned to service. Dec.
Is, the North Western railroad is re-
CURED to reinstate trains No. / and Q
between Alcaster and Hecla, trains
and Gary, and trains No. 124 and 125
between Yankton and Centerville.
The order was issued as a result OF
a hearing before the railroad commits
sion here on Oct. 81, when represent
atives of the railroad ana a large dele
cation from a number of towns along
the North Western line presented evil
dence. The railroad claimed at the
hearing that lack of locomotives was
the cause for trains not having been
reinstated, that engines were still In
rather bad condition as a result of the
/ strike and that putting the trains back
in service would take engines from
freight service.

Sherif's Wife Foils
JaiIbreak Attempt

Pierre, s. d., Nov. 2.-Presence of
mind and determination Of Mrs. Will
liam A. Grebing, wife of the sheriff of
Hughes county, prevented a Jail de-
livery at the county Jail here. Three
Of the four prisoners in the Jail, at
tempting to gain their freedom, fore
ed their way through the inner doors
with bars taken from the steel beds.
The noise Of their labor was drowned
in the noise Of the municipal band,
practising nearby. The sharp hearing
of the sheriff's wife detected an UNI
wonted shutting of feet in the Jail
corridor and she confronted the three
with a pistol, forcing them to return
to their cells.

Have You Paid
Your Account?

Fall is mere again, and all

The Mt Sterling Choral Club, un-
der the direction of Prof! Frank M.
Charlton, gave an excellent musical
program on Monday and Tuesday
nights at the Christian church, a
large number of Mt. Sterling's tai
ented singers taking part Each
number was faultlessly given and the
members of the club are to be con-
graduated upon the success of the
entertainment and are deserving of
much praise for their splendid work
Since the organization of the club
much hidden talent in the city has
been brought to light, and Prof.
Charlton has done wonders in train
ing the voices. 1t is hoped that Mt.
Sterling people will often be given
The opportunity of hearing them.

District Conference
Here Next Week

The Lexington District Conference
will convene here at the Methodist
church next week. The opening SER
vice will be held Tuesday evening at
1880. The Kentucky annual conference
is divided into seven districts, of
which the Lexington is one. Those
expected to attend are preachers in
charge of several circuits and sta
tions, and properly accredited dele
gates. The latter are elected on a
ratio basis of membership. Women
are now eligible to all offices in the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
and will make up a part of the dele
cation.
The district conference is one of
the five conferences of Methodism.
1t meets once year. The time of
meeting is fixed by and presided over
by the presiding elder, who in this in
stance is DIR. G. E. Cameron, of Lex
ington. 1t lasts two days or more.
Should the bishop of the Episcopal
district be present he would preside,
but in the absence of both the above
mentioned the conference elects
president. The various interests Of
the church in the districts are con-
sidered, in the order of its business
and proper persons are, after an APP
proved examination, licensed to
preach and recommended for admis-
sion into the annual conference, or
for orders. At this conference dele
gates are elected to the ensuing an
nual conference. ..
The program of speakers is not in
hand so that we can announce it. A
cordial invitation is extended to the
public toattend any and all sessions.

WESLEY BARRY TYPIFiES
HARRINGTON TERROR

Before Wesley Barry. the freckle-
faced screen luminary, ever made
his appearance before the studio cam
era he was one of those neighbor-
hood terrors that Booth Harrington
loves to write about. In other words,
he was and still is regular kid pos
sessing the untamable, irresponsible
heart of boyhood.
He is said to have filed the hearts
of the grocer and his clerks with
apprehension every time he neared
their doors. He would steal into
the store and upset the molasses,
steal apples, stick brick on the
scales and do a hundred and one
other things that delight the soul Of
the mischievous boy.
In his latest starring vehicle. Gus
Edwards school Days" which will
be shown at the Tabb Theatre Mon
day and Tuesday, April "a and 25, he
applies all the tricks of the average
boy in the schoolroom and makes life
miserable for his teacher The glory,
the joys and the disappointments of
boyhood are still with Wesley, but he
long to be a grownup and wear long
pants n everything.

Hotel Directors
Elect Officers

At meeting of the newly elected
hotel directors, composed of j. A.
Judy. H. G. Hoffman. Clark Patter-
son, J. o. Greene, w. L. Thompson,
w. B. White and R. G. Kern, John A.
Judy was elected president of the
new organization and Harry G. Hoff-
man, secretary. Both of these selec-
lions are splendid ones and we are
confident they will meet with the
hearty approval of the stockholders.
The matter of selecting site was
indefinitely postponed as it was the
belief of the directors that the prices
under consideration were all too high
and, it was felt, could be bought for
less money. We are confident. and
we feel the public generally is, that
with the matter in such able hands,
a site suitable to the best interest of
all concerned will be obtained, and at
a satisfactory price.

study the situation. ask their neigh

Morgan's Men To
Meet AT Lexington

Some rs years ago members OF
Morgan's command who sought the
opportunity to meet with each other
free from the crowds and the tinsel
OF reunions such as had become Gus
tomary with some organizations of
Confederate soldiers conceived the
idea OF having the fighting men of
that command gather once a year.
The thought was that those who
rode together during the four years
of the war, those who were confined
In federal prisons. those who shared
danger, faced death and imprison-
ment, should have an opportunity
each year to gather and renew the
memories of those gallant days.
General Basil Duke was elected
the first president of the organiza-
ton and such men as Steve Sharpe
and Doctor Lewis and Alb Sinclair
and Henry Holly and Ed Holly and
Horace Taylor and W. c p Brock
inridge, to the number of nearly 400
gathered at Olympia Springs. There
were no balls, there were no maids
of honor, there were no parades,
there we're no high sounding titles
at these reunions. The old stories
were told and the friendships formed
in those days of danger renewed.
Since then the organization has
met every year at Olympia Springs
or at Parks Hill camp ground in
Nicholas county.
Death has been busy in the ranks
or Morgan's men. Year by year
with increased avidity death has
taken from their number until to-
day it seems that it may not be long
until a Confederate soldier will be
buried and no Confederate soldier
left to walk by his bier.
This year Captain Horace Taylor,
the secretary of Morgan's men, felt
it would be better to have the meet
ing at some point more central than
Olympia, which the members of the
organization could reach without any
long travel.
Through Desha Breckenridge. whose
father was a member of Morgan's
men, Captain Taylor's thought was
brought to the attention of the Hon.
j. w. Stoll, president of the Lexing-
ton country club. and Mr.. Stoll,
speaking for the board of directors
and the members of the club, prompt
ly extended an invitation to Morgan's
men to use the club for their reunion.
The executive committee of the
organization will meet in the near
future and fix a date for the reunion,
which is usually held in the early
fall. By having the reunion at the
country club all the members can at
tend with assurance of an easy triD.
of pleasant quarters and warm hos
pitality and hold their reunion near
the scene where the great majority
of them enlisted under the Stars and
Bars and also near scenes where they
engaged in mortal combat with fed
eral troops.

Child Injured

Lodema, little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Roger Drake, was run into by
car driven by Mrs. Morton Faulk-
ner while crossing the corner at
Maysville and Clay streets on her re.
turn to school after lunch yesterday
The child ran into the path of the
car, which could not be stopped in
time to avoid striking her. She was
brought to the Office of DR.. Knox,
where an X-ray was made. showing
no bones were broken, and It is not
thought that her injuries will prove
serious.
