BURLINGTON INSTALLS TRAINS.
The Burlington today started a new
through express service from Chicago
to Lincoln and return on special trains
Nos. 29 and 30, which was made neces
sary by the large amount of business
between these two points. The new
trains are all express cars and, going
west, come through this city at 10:18
a. m., and returning east, at 7:35 p. m.
The volume of the express business
over the Burlington has grown so
great that the regular service is not
able to handle the shipments, and
these two additional trains will care
I for the business from the two points.
Washington, Oct. 29. While ship
ments of all classes of freight are pil
ing up in most of the important pro
ducing centers of the country, and
shippers calling frantically for relief,
the Interstate Commerce commission
has begun an inquiry into the situa
tion. The task is complicated by the
fact that the railroads blame the ship
pers themselves for a large part of
the difficulty.
Railroads in all parts of the country
were called on Saturday by the com
mission for complete details of condi
tions on their lines.
Southern shippers and carriers wil
be heard next Friday and Saturday in
Louisville, Ky., by representatives of
the commission. The shippers have
declared the roads culpable in con
ducting a large movement of freight
to the seaboard for export, when
water transportation is limited, and
then permitting their cars to be used
for storage purposes, while awaiting
vessels.
Passing the blame back to the ship
pers, the railroads, say their impati
ence to "catch the market" before
present high prices break, has resulted
in an unusually large movement, es
pecially in grain, at an unseasonal
time of year. Crops, it is explained,
have been shoved into the market
much earlier than ever before and the
arilroads have been caught unprepared.
Dr. .1. F. lirendel of Murray was in
the city today for a few hours looking
after some matters , of business and
railing on his friends.
ADVENT OF FINE BOY.
Last night the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Ringer in this city was
made happy by the arrival there of a
fine new son and heir and the occa
sion has been a most happy one to
the delighted parents. The mother
and little son are both progressing
nicely and the friends are extending
their heartiest congratulations.

HIKERS HAVE BIG TIME AT
PATTERSON HOME III MURRAY
The "Hikers" club on Saturday en
joyed a most delightful time at the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Patterson in Union, and the ladies
from this city who journeyed down
for the delightful occasion felt amply
repaid for their trip in the royal hos
pitality afforded them. The time was
spent most delightfully at cards and
the hours passed very rapidly in the
facinations of bridge. A very dainty
four-course luncheon was served at an
appropriate hour, that added very
much to the pleasures of the day. The
ladies enjoyed several hours that they
had not really expected to at the Pat
terson home, due to the lateness of
their train, and this allowed them to
visit with their friends until evening
and was much enjoyed. Those who
were in attendance at the pleasant
event were: Mesdames John W. Chap
man, R. C. Rawls, Nelson Jean,
George O. Dovey, Lynn Minor, Misses
Margaret Donelan, lone Dovey and
Vesta Douglass.

A GOOD RECORD Oil CORN
SHUCKING FOR CASS COUNTY
BOX SOCIAL AT THE
KENOSHIA SCHOOL
From Saturday's Danv.
One of the best records in the corn
shucking line this year that has come
to our attention was made yesterday
atvthe farm of R. W. Long, near My
nard, and Ben Land is the gentleman
who did the work. Mr. Land started
in yesterday morning, and in five
hours shucked seventy-eight bushels
which was going some, and in the aft
ernoon up to 4 o'clock, the young man
shucked forty-three bushels more
making a total of 121 bushels for the
day's work. This is a fine record and
there are few in the county who can
beat it, and we would be glad to hear
from others of the fast corn shuckers
as to their work in the fields.
THE K. S. TURNER GIRLS
HAVE PLEASANT EVENT
E. L. Cook, steward of the institute
for the feeble minded at Glenwood
was in the city last evening to look
for one of the inmates from the in
stitution who had escaped from that
place Saturday. He discovered the
young man, named Bailey, had been
taken up by the police Saturday eve
ning when he was wandering around
on the streets and was kept at the
jail for safe keeping until this morn-
ng when Mr. Cook took him back to
Glenwood. The young man was per
fectly willing to return to the" insti
tution from which he had made his
getawfiv, having apparently enjoyed
his outing sufficiently.
HON. JOHN MATTES HONORED.
For some time there has been an
effort made to regulate the introduc
tion of bills in the legislature and to
see that unnecessary bills were not
offered, simply for the purpose of one
fathering the bill, getting a lixtle
cheap notoriety. This matter has been
discussed for seme time, but no defi
nite action taken Governor Morehead
has taken the matter in charge ind
appointed committees to meet and
agree upon certain rules and regula
tions concerning the introduction of
bills in the legislature. The object is
to secure a concrete and harmonious
statute that will have a bearing upon
future legislation. Hon. John Mattes
has been appointed as one of the com
mittee r apresonting the senate. Ne

The K. S. Turner girls last evening
entertained at a Hallowe'en frolic at
the K. S. hall and the occasion was
one of the greatest pleasure for all at
tending and the time passed most en
joyably by the large crowd of young
people who were in attendance. The
girls had the hall decorated in keep
ing with the Hallowe'en season and
to the hungry one a delightful feast
was offered and this part of the pro
gram was most thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone. The young people spent
several hours in a most pleasing man
ner in the fascinations of the dance
and this was indulged in by a large
crowd until the time for departing
homeward. The young ladies proved
most pleasing entertainers and the
frolic was one th? will be pleasantly
remembered by everyone taking part.
How Catarrh is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought-
ess as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucus membrane, at first acue,
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic tatarrh, a disease that is sel
dom cured and that may prove a life's
budden. Many persons who have this
oathsome disease will remember hav
ing had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought,
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy judiciously used, and all this trou
ble might have been avoided. Ob
tainable everywhere.
A want ad in the Journal will bring
results.

at the school house Friday evening.
which was very successful, both in a
financial and social manner. The
school room, which had been very ap
propriately decorated for the occa
sion by the pupils and their teacher
Miss Edna Morrison of this city, was
filled to its utmost capacity with par
ents and friends. At 8 o'clock the
pupils rendered a most excellent Hal
lowe'en program, which was most
highly appreciated by the large num
ber in attendance. Alter the pro
gram the handsome boxes were sold
at auction. After the sale of the
boxes delicious luncheons were spread
in the school room and the many good
things to eat were soon disposed of,
During the evening a lively contest
was held as to when was tne most
popular young lady and Miss Virgie
Campbell captured the largest number
of votes and was awarded the box of
candy, while Mr. Joseph Campbell
carried off the largest number (of
votes for the ugliest man and was pre
sented with a necktie. The pupils and
their teacher realized a neat sum from
the sale of the boxes and the contests,
which will be used for the purchase
of supplies for the school.
CARRANZA SAYS U,
S. IS AIDING VILLA
Mexico City, Oct. 20. "Villistas are
active in the state of Chihuahua be
cause thev have secured in the
United States facilities for aiding and
fomenting the movement," Carranza
charged in a statement issued here tonight.
The first chief charges also that
several newspapers in the United
States have waged a campaign against
Mexico.
"They have given publicity to false
reports and described the situation as
very grave, inese papers asserieu
that recently rebel forces have won
ictories over the constitutionalist
forces in the states of Colima, Mexo,
Oaxaca and Chiapass. These reports
are absolutely false.
"Constitutionalist forces lately de
feated forces of Felix Diaz, who fled
out of Chiapass and took refuge in
Guatamala. Xapata forces have been
made to withdraw to the mountains of
Morelos and all cities and communities
are under complete control of the government.
"The only movement showing signs
of activity are the Villistas in the
state of Chihuahua. This activity is
due to the fact that the enemies of
the constitutionalist government have
secured in the United States facilities
for aiding and fomenting the move
ment. However, the government con
tinues work in suppressing this up
rising." Carranza denied the rumor that
there is significance in the fact that
his family is now in the United States,
declaring they would return to Mexico
City in a few days. He denied also re
ports of famine in Mexico.
"There is no lack of food of any
kind throughout Mexico," he said.
