xf Klmball , thirty miles apart have
.reason to know that the world , In
these days of modern transportation ,
Is not so big after all.
Judge Brown with his wife and
/daughter left a few weeks ago for a

started on a tour of England. One

"Irish" John Smith , who also sailed

his birth.
Neither was aware of the other's

across each other In a London park
In so unexpected n manner can be
imagined.

POSSIBLE THAT BURR TAFT IS
RELATED TO NOMINEE.
Though the genealogy has not yet
been traced there seems little doubt
that County Commissioner Burr Taft
Is related to the present Republican
nominee for the presidency.
Burr Taft's ancestors came from
Townshend In Wlndhnm county , Ver-
num. William H. Taft's ancestors came
from the same place. From what rec
ords are at hand It would appear that
the grandfathers of the Madison coun
ty commissioner and the ex-secretary
of war wore brothers and If this should
chance to bo the case Burr Tnft Is no
distant relative of the man who In all
probability will be the next president
of the United States.
If surmises prove correct both arc
related to Robert Taft , who came to
America seven generations ago and
who was the first member of the Taft
family to settle In this country.
Becoming Interested In the matter
Mr. Taft has written to some of his
relatives In the east for the exact
genealogy of the Taft family so that
In a short time he will be able to
clear up the connection between him
self and the famous "Big Bill" Taft
of Ohio.

people , but when the sheriff arrived
they took a different view of things ,

threatened , the sheriff was able single-
handed to arrest the whole bunch , who
were numerous enough to have suc
cessfully resisted him for a time had
they had sufficient nerve.
Sheriff Nelson made a record on this
occasion , for he "bluffed" out tha
whole crowd and marched them befora
a justice , where he acted as the com
plaining witness and had all of his
prisoners fined for disturbing the
peace. The sheriff expected they would
bo unable to pay their fines , and was
preparing to bring them to the county

spectators one of the most ragged of
the hoboes pulled out a huge roll of
bills from his unkept clothing and

The Texas Southern has been sold
to Oblo Goodwin of Dallas for $285-
000. Mr. Goodwin , It Is stated , rep
resented the St. Louis Union Trust
company. Associated with him In the
deal were E. Key of Marshall , A. F.
Strickland and others. The only other
bidder at the sale was F. M. Hubble of
Des Molnes. the largest Individual
creditor of the road.
Several of the large roads operatIng - v
Ing into Colorado from the east have
combined to refuse transportation to
homeless persons , even though the In

roads are refusing the requests
made upon them by charitable Insti
tutions.
It is said that the Harrlman roads
are In the market for 0,000 steel cars ,
which will cost between $0,000,000
and $7,000,00. This is the. largest or
der contemplated since the business
depression and Indicates the Harrl
man belief In returning prosperity. " * }
There is keen competition for the order -
der , and it Is likely the Harrlman
people will obtain a very low price.
A report comes from San Francisco
to the effect that the Western Pacif
ic road has cancelled its arrangement
with the Southern Pacific for Oak
land terminals. This contract was en
tered into to prevent the Gould line
from competing with the Southern Pa
cific on ferry business at Oakland.
If E. H. Harrlman gained any voice in
the management of the Gould lines
by assisting In raising $200,000 for
the Wheeling and Lake Erie , the can
cellation of the contract seems Im
probable.
