Head Consul A. H. Talbot yes
terday afternoon declared that
the head ollicers of the Modern
Woodmen of America would im
mediately take steps to appeal
Judge Shirley's decision to the ap
pellate court of Illinois in an ef
fort to have the injunction sus
pended. Meanwhile, Mr. Talbot said, no
effort would be made on the part
of the head ollicers to put the new
rates of the society into effect.
They were to have become effect
ive January 1.
"I understand from the tele
gram," said he, "that every reason
given in Hie recent Iowa decision
in the same matter was con
trarily viewed by the Illinois court.
And tin! one reason for not grant
ing tin' relief prayed for by the
Iowa insurgents was the very rea
son upon which the Illinois court
is said to have based its action."
The Modern Woodmen of
America possesses a large mem
bership in this city and I he mem
bers have been greatlyjnterested
in the matter of the increase in
rates, and although there has been
no organized insurgent movement
in the enmp here, the members
have been considerably disturbed
over just bow the new rates would

In commenting on the sugges
tion of the interstate commerce
commission that the railroad
operate freight trains faster in
order to minimize a shortage in
cars, President Darius Miller of
the Iiurlington said:
"The commission, in my judg
ment, is wrong in urging any such
action, because to follow its sug
gestion would merely mean waste
and more, instead of less, delay in
movement. The remedy for these
conditions is not to be found in
the unwise suggestion to increase
the speed of trains, but rather in
co-operation between shippers
and carriers for rapid loading and
unloading of equipment.
"A reduction in delays of this
sort would be tantamount to an
increase in equipment. It is not
a shortage of cars, but an inability
to get suflicient use of cars that
has threatened the country this
fall.
"Fortunately, the indications
are reassuring that the fears of
the commission will not ma
terialize. There has been no
shortage of equipment worthy of
the name this fall on the Burling
ton and there is no reason to an
ticipate any difficulty in supplying
all needs."

a contract for the appearance here
on the evening of January 8 of
"The Shepherd of the Hills," the
dramatization of Harold Hell
Wright's powerful story of the

very lucky to secure this excellent
attraction, as it was only owing to
the fact that the theater at
Clariiula, Iowa, burned that made
it possible to secure them for ap
pearance at the Parniele theater.
The management of the Parmele
also has secured that most de

1 BAUER'S OLD STAND :
Congressman Elect, Born In a Log
Cabin, Is Self Educated Pretty Story
of His Courtship and Winning of the
Woman Now His Wife.
How Uncle Joe Cannon fell victim
in the recent election in Illinois is one
of the morsels of political gossip.
It was no UU'.e thing, viewed in the
long wny. to down the man who has
represented his district in congress
since 1872 with the exception of two
years In the early nineties. Election
after election the political enemies
tried to shake Uncle Joe loose. No
matter what happened to othera in the
state! he came out of the smoke of po
litical battle a winner.
And he never seemed willing to let
go voluntarily. Six years ago he an
nounced that he wanted to be elected
"just once more" In order to carry on
work commenced and left unfinished
in congress. Four years ago he mnde
the same announcement, two years ago
he pleaded for just one more chance,
and this time his managers positively
announced that this would be his last
appearance.
Of late years it had come to be
thought in the Eighteenth Illinois dis
trict that there was no way to down
"the old Minn." Samuel T. Ilusey did
it In 1S!)0. but two years later, fighting
like a real warrior, Uncle Joe came
back and was an easy victor.
Things began to look n bit shaky for
the former speaker two years ago de
spite the fact he carried his distrli t by
nearly .".Oiio plurality. There was a
leaven working that Democrats believ
ed augured well for success this year.
They began to cast about for a can
didate. O'Hair Enters Race.
Finally Frank T. O'Hair of Edgar
county was Induced to enter the race.
Mr. O'll.-iir Is a lawyer of strong per
sonality, lie has the easy way that
pleases the average farmer of Illinois,
and there are lots of average farmers
In the Eighteenth congress district.
Mr. O'Hair was reluctant to put htm
pelf against a statesman of forty years'
standing, but once in the race he en
tered upon a campaign that quite
eclipsed anything of the kind ever be
fore seen. The lawyer proclaimed
himself a progressive Democrat with
no strings tied to bim.
He went personally among the farm
ers to tell them in an intimate sort of
way why Uncle Joe should be retired
and why a young man full of the new
spirit of the day should be sent to con
gress to represent the district.
Mr. 0'IIalr, having been born and
reared on a farm in Edgar county,
knew all about local farm work. lie
"pitched in," as the farmers put it.
and helped them hnrvttst their wheat
and oats. He shucked corn In the
fields for the pigs, talking politics the
while and saying what he would be In
favor of if ho were in congress.
The kind of doctrine Mr. O'Hair
preached fell upon willing ears, and
he was elected.
Who O'Hair Is.
Mr. O'llalr was born forty-two years
ago in n log cabin in a remote section
of Edgar county of Irish parentage
and spent his boyhood days on a farm.
After graduating from the common
school he entered Purdue university.
where he took the law course. Re
turning to Tarls, lie hung out his shin
gle and by sheer force of character and
ability has won a place among the best
lawyers of eastern Illinois and western
Indiana.
But once previously had he become a
candidate for olllce, and then he tasted
a defeat that was subsequently sweet
ened by his winning the heart of the
beautiful daughter of his successful
opponent and making her his wife. In
1S!)2 he became the Democratic candi
date for mayor of Paris, und the Re
publicans nominated D. I). Huston, fa
ther of the girl whom he hoped to wed.
The tight was one of the bitterest
and hardest fought in the history of
the town, and during the heat of battle
young O'Hair was forbidden by Papa
Huston to enter his home. Casting
aside for a time affairs of the heart,
he renewed his attacks upon the polit
ical enemy, loyalty for his party dom
inating even his desire to stand well
in the good graces of Father Huston.
The tatter's victory by a small mar
gin was soon followed by a reconcil
iation and the winning of his heart's
desire. Representative Elect and Mrs.
O'Hair reside in a handsome home In
Paris and have a five-year-old daughter.
