LAID BY u HEN

hen that has almost developed a
habit Of laying mammoth eggs with
double barrelled" characteristics is
owned by Perley Mcclellan Of this
town.
The year-old Plymouth Rock has
laid IA eggs Of which each contains
the usual contents and, in addition,
another egg Of average size in an
average shell.
Some of the eggs were so large as
to resembled the product Of some
far larger bird, measuring nine
inches in circumference one way
and seven and one-half inches the
other. Their weights were about
six ounces apiece. Three Of these
huge eggs weigh as much as nine
common eggs. The hen laid one
of these freaks every second day
and then apparently returned to
normal production.

OLD RAILROAD
WILL Be SOLD
Debts Cause Auction Of
Line That Lincoln
Represented

CHICAGO, July 15.-(P}-Burden-
ed with millions IN mortgages and in
terest long over due, the historic
Chicago and Alton railroad must
go on the auction block.
The federal court has ordered the
sale at Wilmington, Will county, H.,
as the only way Of meeting the OBJ
legations.
The Atoms history, during sew
eral years of its early life, is
perimposed upon that Of Abraham
Lincoln. Lincoln appeared as at
torney for the st. Louis, Alton and
Chicago and the Alton Sangamon,
predecessors, and opposed them IN
suits against the Illinois Central.
Mr.. Lincoln began his trip to I'M
mortality in Washington on M
Alton, and the same road carried
his body back to Springfield.
The c. and A. was the first to try
out Pullman cars, the inventor,
George Pullman, carrying on his
experiments with sleeping cars on
the Alton from 1857 to 1858.
The road began with the Alton
and Sangamon, incorporated in
1847. It developed a brisk business
and during the late eos caught the
acuuisitive eye Of E. H. Hartman.
He bought it in 1899 and immed1-
ately loaded it with a $45,000,0OO
mortgage. The following year he
added a second mortgage Of 2 2,000.-
600. Hartman sold the road after
one years ownership.
The Hartman manipulations Sc
riously burdened the railway, and
in 1912 it was necessary to add q
third mortgage of $4,000, 000. The
holders of the $22, 100000 lien asked
the foreclosure action, interest on
that mortgage having passed since
1922. The holders Of the third mort
gage contested the action, their in
terest not having been paid since
1912. The road, with its 1858 miles
of trackage in Missouri and ILL
nois, is valued at $125 100000.

BROWNSVILLE
co. HIRES IL
Uses Three Carloads Of
Roofing Material Dur
ing Past Month

Twenty years in business here
and now at its peak-that's the
record Of the Brownsville Sheet
Metal Works, Eighth and Harrison,
under the management Of Harry
Richardson.
When Richardson came here
from Bowling Green, KY, there was
little sheet metal work being done
in the Valley. This section had
just begun to expand. Many OF
the cities that now dot the
worlds longest main street" did
not exist. Richardson, however, be-
lieved in the future Of the Valley
and bought an interest in the bus
mess with Q. P. Hacker.
Expert
The newcomer from Bowling
Green was an expert sheet metal
worker, having served his appren-
tice and early years Of craftman-
ship in Kentucky. He had been
practically reared in a tin shop
and at the age Of II began draw
ing his weekly wage as a crafts
man.
Richardson figuratively and lit
orally rolled up his sleeves and
plunged into work here, supervis-
ing all work as he toiled beside
his workmen. After holding the role
OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for
i've years, the business has grown
to such an extent that he found
1T necessary to devote all Of his
time to experimenting the jobs.
Big Pay Roll
Since that time the business has
grown steadily and o EMPLOYS
IL men and has a pay roll of from
$500 to $425 q week. During the
past month the concern has used
more than three carloads of root
ing materials.
All types of sheet metal and
roofing work Is done by the COM
pany. They build cisterns, pipes
for irrigation work, water oates,
corn1ces, cutters, ventilators, etc.
One OF the most recent buildings
done by the concern was the Kress
building. They now hold contracts
on the two new ward school build
ings going up.
We try to give them what thew
want and when they want it,,
Richardson says. I'VE try to give
a real service and feel that our sue
cess SO far would indicate hat we
are giving that service" he says.
