Zeperning has taken a position on the Wabash road as section foreman. Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana Torre Haute, Ind.. Nov. 2S. Two or three accredited representatives of the Greek government are expected at Terre Haute to get evidence, if possible, on which the United States govern ment can be asked to put an end to the work of agents of the Macedonia com mittee, -which has its headquarters in Eofia, Bulgaria, and whose ostensible object is to convert Macedonia Into Bulgarian territory, although many persons believe it is only a huge finan cial swindle. Affair May Be International. The arrest of two Bulgarians on a Charge of extortion In demanding mon ey from Greeks in Terre Haute is fast developing into what may be an inter national affair. The two Bulgarian'? were caught at Danville, 111., where they were making like demands on Bulgarians and Greeks employed on the Indiana Harbor division of the Big lour road. That the arrests attracted attention elsewhere Is shown by the apj-earance of a rich Bulgarian named Stephenson from Granite City, oppo site St. Louis, who at once arranged for the defense of the accused. Demand Backed by Threats. Immediately nfter their arrest at Xanville they were anxious to get into conimucieation with a friendly lawyer at Kansas City. Both men had regu lar credentials as captains in the Bul garian army. Gustave Kathromerou, who says he is a representative of the Greek legation at Washington, lias put In an appearance. The Bulgarians at Danville and the three under arrest In Terre Haute demanded money, with threats on the life of the person on whom the demand was made or on the lives of Ws kinsmen in Greece or Macedonia through the secret society known as the "Nom Cristi." Prisoners Have Plenty of Cash. The representative of the legation enys that if it is proved money is solicited for the revolutionary move ment which seeks to overthrow the protectorate established fix years ago by Greece oer Macedonia the United States government will be asked to as eiTTTSOluihority. The arrested men at Danville and here had plenty of money, each carrying several hundred dollars. The Greeks and Macedonians in Terre Haute have no doubt of the presence- of the Bulgarians as .

General passenger agents of eastern and western lines are determined to bring about the establishment of a new trans-continental train service through the St. Louis gateway. It is said to be a fight for supremacy between Chicago and St. Louis. Chicago for years has been a recognized gateway between New York and California. Fast limited trains have been run via Chicago to i?an Francisco and via Seattle to Port land. So far as Chicago is concerned of course It must remain a gateway to the northwest, but the movement now indicates that the St. Louis gateway is at last to be recognized and that the eastern and western roads are to es tablish limited train service via this route. An odd coincidence is that the mileage by the various routes to both San Francisco and Los Angeles from New York Is practically the same From New York to San Francisco via Chicago Is 3.4S8 miles via the Santa Fe and Rock Island 3.4S4. BLOOD THICKUU THAN WATKH7 Wouldn't Seem So from the Way These Kinsman Lived Without Association. Shelby ville, Ind., Nov. 28. Arthur Frank J Applegate, 23 years old, and his father, William Applegate, have lived within six miles of each other all the young man's life, but their first meeting in many years was last Sat urday. When Frank was only a few weeks old his mother died, and the Infant was consigned to the care of her parents, near Fairland. He grew to manhood with his grandparents, with whom he still lives, while his father remained in this city and never went to see him. Last Saturday Frank came here and met Harvey Applegate. his uncle, who suggested that they call on hi father. In this way the father and s m met for the first time since the lad's in fancy. Two brothers of William Ap plegate have lived within four miles of each other for forty years, but the families have never visited as other families do.

He said he would speak his mind at the lecture and "took a whack" at Mayor Dunne when he said that where he came from Democrats are white men." He was asked by the management of the hospital to say nothing about the negroes before the lecture as the men at the head of the opposition were talking of stopping the lecture with an injunction.

Gives a Talk on the Race Problena and Nothing Klse. "I have been advertised to discuRS the annexation of Cuba," continued Tillman, "but in view of the fact that I could not discuss that subject with out discussing the race question I am going to go at the matter hammer and tongs, straightforward, like a man. Therefore I shall discuss the race prob lem pure and simple. Owing to my experience with the question and the diligent study I have made of it I be lieve I am better qualified to discuss this ouestlon than any other man In America." While discussingthefifteenth amend ment of the constitution, which he de clared gave the negro every right that a white man had, he was interrupted several times by one of his listeners, who kept asking "How about Ken tucky?" Finally Tillman seemed to lose his temper and exclaimed: "Oh, shut your mouth. You don't know the A B C of this thing. I forgot forty years ago more than you ever knew." "If this law was enforced it would result in two states at least being dominated absolutely by negroes, while four other states would be so near Wing governed by the negro that there would practically be an equal division of officers." A voice "How about the law?" Senator Tillman The law? To hell with such law." After telling In detail how the negro is prevented from casting his ballot in the south Tillman said: "There Is a great deal more to this question than the little racket here in Chicago." A voice "How about the negro Judge?" Senator Tillman "Well, I will tell you about your negro judge and about your political machines putting him on your ticket and bamboozling those poor Ignorant baboons into electing him, and then afterward? you fellows who j voted the ticket without knowing what was on it find a way to cheat him out of it" CAUCASIAN OF I1ETTER CLAY Vollva Has Trouble.

It Is claimed that the tobacco trust has been buying up legislatures in the j east and elsewhere. This is mighty In- j teresting, especially to smokers who would like to know what the tobacco i trust might want with a bunch of I green statesmen.

I Of course the naughty trust may I want them for an entirely different purpose. It may have some choice fif ty cent cigars that need testing and also some special brands of legislation that it would like to I ive passed In ! response to what seen to be a great public sentiment.

It does not require the wisdom of a Solomon to discover that wide tires on tho farm and road wag-on are a benefit to farmers in many ways. Broad tires lightens the draft by pre senting more surface to the road bed. and they do not sink so easily into soft ground for the same reason. Since heavy loads can be hauled more readily wlth a wide tire wagon than with that having narrow tires the owner of such a conveyance is thus more merciful to his horses. Tests and observations have proved that wide tires are a bene fit to country roads while the narrow tires are road destroyers. Wide tires act as rollers, compacting the track, while narrow ones only cut up the roadway and make travel upon It very difficult in bad weather. Wide tires cost but little more than narrow tires, hence there is no good ex cuse for the use of the latter. Farm ers are beginning to see the necessity and economy in using the broad tires and are slowly discarding wago narrow tires Trouble Has Blown Over. Cincinnati, Nov. ,28.
