Fletcher, Okla., March 23. What
was meant to be fun turned out a
very serious joke here a few days
ago. Herman Davis slept late one
morning after repeated calls atter
other members of the family trot up.
His sister thinking it would be
tun to pour cold water on his head
to waken him, picked up a tin can
apparently emptj and lilliugit with
water went to his room and drop
ped some ol the water on his fore
head. Davis awakened suddenly and a
considerable quantity went into
his eyes. Then it was found that
the can had contained concentrated
lye and a good portion was lett in
the vessel. The sight of one eye
was destroyed and it is believed
that Davis will lose the other.

AGAIN
JUST SWUNG A HAT
AND TRAIN WOULD STOP AT
FARMER'S SIGNAL.
In Early Days of the Rail This Was aa
Effective as the Red Light
Now, But the Times
Have Changed.
Among the first railroads ever laid
in this country were the Hartford &
New Haven and the Boston & Provi
dence Ijoth new parts of that great
N. Y., J. H. & H. system which conies
near to controlling the transportation
business of all New England. The
early railroad corporations conducted
their atf.lirs on a solllPwhat different
j basis from ihe present day eorpora-
I tions.
One old farmer on the line of tbe
! H. & P., jiust outside of Providence,
was urged to give the struggling road
permission to lay its tracks through
bis farm. Being a Yankee, it was nat
ural for him to look to the main
chance in fvery transaction, and aside
from the great public benefit that the
building of the road was supposed to
be, he wanted to know what he was
going to get out of it.
"Why, you'll want to ride to town on
it, won't you?" it was suggested. "The
trains will travel faster than a horse."
"Ah, but your station is two milea
in the other direction. Don't do me
any good." grumbled the farmer.
So thoy told him that when he want
ed to go to town all he had to do was
to go clown to the railroad, staud be
side the track, swing his hat when
the train came along, and it would
stop for him. And it did. too, for some
years. Then ihe company began to
make money began to "feel its oats"
as it were and new and younger men
got control. A now superintendent
was put on that branch of the road,
and riding over the line one day he
saw the farmer stop a train in this
manner and get aboard. Needless to
say that was the last time the old man
was so accommodated. He could swing
his old hat till he was blue in the face
thereafter and, as he said himself In
after years, "She'd whiz by an' would
not even hosertate!"
, . , , , . ,
leer nf tnp par v railrnaiU riuiohl
much contempt. In the beginning cars
traveled little if any faster than the
coaches. Supt. Davidson of the old N.
II. & H. once told of driving with bia
father behind a team of horses, in
1840, when they had a race with a pas-
senger train near Wallingford, Conn.,
where the railroad and turnpike are
parallel for three or four miles, and
for all that distance the carriage kept
pace with the railroad train.
Sometimes an inch of snow on tho
rails would ston a train Hpnrv f
and then sprinkled a shovelful on the
slippery rails, ine driving wheels (en-
gines only bad one pair then), used to
slip in a most irritating way, and a
grade on a wet day was an experience
to turn a man's head gray! On one
occasion a train got stuck on the
Galesville grade by one inch of snow,
and the wood and water gave out be
fore the locomotive cculd pull to the
top. At length they get out tbe neigh
bors, yoked four pairs of oxen to the
train, and drew it, passengers, bag
gage and all, Into Meriden with flying
colors!

Interesting Reading
-j $'
In order .that our reftders and the
geneilpublic, without regard to
party, may have an opportunity to ;
read avery unique piece o.f political
harangue, we publish below the
resolutions adopted Saturday night
at the Republican meeting.
The voter will please read care
fully, especially between 'the lines,
tikiag intoconsideration the source,
from which it- eminated. aod the
circumstances which brought it
about, and see how easy it is to de
tect the African in the wood pile.
Well migntone exclaim; . it is fear
fully and wonderfully made. Here
it is:
"We the Republicans of the City
of Monett, Missouri, in convention
assembled, unlike our Democrat
bi ethren, but ever ready to tack to
gether and proclaim in plain Eng
lish our position on all public mat
ters that.the voter may know what
oar candidates stand for and what
the voter may expect should we be
successful, do hereby adopt the fol
lowing: - -.
"We still believe in the principles
cf the grand old Republican party
and with pride call attention to the
iact that throughiits public officials
every pledge made betore all elec-
f u .. v, , t .. ,
tiunb nave Deen, ana always will De
carried out to a letter, and the peo,
pie in nation, state, county and
municipalities look to the Republi
can party tor substantial relief and
guidance in all public affairs.
"We point to the faithful, econom
ical and business like administra
i urn of our city affairs of' our former
Wepublicaa mavor, Hon. L. B. Dur
nil, as compared with the present j
Democratic administration. Then!
i
ur citizens led a peaceable life,
iap;iy and prosperous; then our
:-,ty had lights, and we choose light
ather than darkness. We love the
light, and we want light; then eur
city was not 'mulched' in litigation;
then the rightsof the laboring man,
as well as the monied man wert
s ifely crecl for; then officers elect
ed were able to quality by filing
bonds as were required of them bv
law. and the common funds were
not attempted to be expended in
purchasing bonds of bonding com
panies; then the city hall was suf
ficiently commodious and equipped
well enough for all public officials
to occupy and serve the people; then
our mayor had judicial judgment
and care to see the loop holes ahead
and was able to escape unneces
sary enactmentof ordinances draft
ed .to suit a lew; then such ordin
inces and laws were passed as
vould stand the firey tests of the
courts; then unnecessary prosecu-
turns were prevented, much to the
savings of the taxpayers; then our
city bad for its head a man broad
minded and with unselfish motives;
tiien the will of the people prevailed
and no one man had any 'cinch,'
md the people's property was not
taken from them without due pro
cess of law.
" We therefore condemn the pres
nt Democratic administration for
its reckless and expensive adminis
: ration, for the unnecessary litiga
tion now pending and pledge to the
eople if our candidates for council
are elected, to restore, as far as is
in their power, the well defined
principles of Republican prosperity
aed management of public affairs;
a city government of the people, by
the people and for the people, as
only Republican officials are cap
able and competent to administer.
With these promises made, and with
ast r ecords of the Republicans for
keeping their i promises inviolate,
we invite all liberty loving, law
abiding citizens of the city of Mo
nett to rally around our candidates
nominated this "day and see to it
that they are elected April 5th 1909
in order that our city may take its
place with sister city in the march
of progress, and that the will of the
prominate, and that all men have a
fair and equal shw before the law.
Respectfully submitted.
