Tom Piatt is off on his honeymoon

I he campaign carried on under the
leadership of County Chairmen Mit
chell and Reed was void of any dis
agreeable features It is only to the
credit of these men to state that thev
conducted a campaign free from per
sonalities. Returns from about four-fifths of the

A degenerate of this citv. who hns
not the moral courage to defend him
self, is trying to create sympathy

that no gun was drawn, the person
whom he claims had his hand on one,
had been informed by several persons
that the degenerate had carried one
for him for several weeks. However,
if one had been drawn, it would not
have been the first six-shooter or shot
gun that the degenerate has dodged
since his residence in Alliance, viz. for
wrecking homes.

Adopt Block Signal Method.
Columbus, O., Oct. 30, M. S. Con
nors, general superintendent of the Hock
ing Valley and allied lines, today an
nounced that the American Railway asso
ciation had decided to aban don the opera
tion of trains by telegraphic orders on all
double-track roads In the country.
The change is effective January 1. 1904.
At the meeting there was represented over
70 per cent of he entire mileage of all the
roads in the United States, the delegates
being composed of the higher operating
officials.
The report of the rules committee was
adopted in full as submitted. It contem
plates the substitution of the block system
wherever possible. A' high official of the
Pennsylvania road annou need that on Jan
uary 1 the Fort Wayne road between Pitts
burg and Chicago would make the change,
and similar announcements are expected
from other lines. The purpose of the
change is to remove the danger of misin
terpreted and lost orders. The trainmen
have only the block signals to watch in the
handling of their trains. It is hoped great
ly to reduce the danger of travel and lessen,
the number of accidents.
