REUBEN'S LETTER.
Confusion on the Rate Problem,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Friends: I'm a gettin' more'n
more mixed up on this trust an' rail-
road question. I've found out that
they is some good trusts an' some
bad trusts; an' that some railroads
give passes an' some don't but I aint
found the missin' link that connects
the infernal contrivances. One thing
they've decided onto, an' have spread
the same onto the minits, an' that i>
they haint any uv 'em lieen very
good to us yit
Ev'rybody has got a idee how to
regilate the railroads, an' our time
lias been purty mutch occipied takin'
testimony afore the committy on
trouble, mostly out in the corridor,
an' have got a purty good bunch uv
evidence in the hopper. But I'm
afeerd that it is runnin' too mutch to
Standard Oil an' hard coal. Ever'-
body is gittin' all mixed up till
things look the same way both goin'
an' comin' an' the rate question is
liable to have a collision with itself.
I've borried a musket to stand
guard at the door uv the committy
room to see that no plutocrat gits in
with a basket uv railroad passes to
eorruptionize the senate. We've got
to bo keerful an' conservative.
What makes me tired is seein' these
here railroad magnets ridin around in
ottermobeeels while I hafto walk.
This thing is liable to run into class
legislation yit, thataway.
I've been instructed by the chair-
man uv the committy to look under
the sofv ever' mornin' fer John D.
Rockyfeller, fer no knowin' where he
would turn up His address lias been
mislaid, an' when Tillman's resolu-
shun went thru toucliin his friends,
John I>. took a sneak, an' he might
be prowlin' around here nosin' into
things. He'll lose worse'n the hair
off'n his head if I see him iirst.
I wouldn't be surprised if the whole
Standard Oil trust wasn't investigat-
ed, skinned tflive an' its hide hung on
the gate post at Pocantico Hills, N.
Y. We're in a desprit. mood tiere in
congress I tell ye. You want to read
small bills fer the perticlars. We've
got the railroads jumpin' sideways
the beef trust hoppin' mad. the Stand-
ard Oil company on run an' Reed
Smoot not feelin' very well. This is a
most interestin'epocli in our coun-
try's history.
The weather is openin' up like
spring here, an' I wouldn't be sup-
prised if we began to sow oats soon.
Yours indefinitely,
Reuben Hardserabble.
A COWBOYS CAROUSAL.
The Midnight Duel and au At-
tempt to Awaken the Dead.
Whiskey has been the ruin and
downfall of many a promising young
man who has left his parental home
_ with a father's blessing and a moth-
er's prayers, anxious to mingle with
the outside world and to participate
with the outside world in the great
struggle of life. How bright were his
anticipations for the future, how ra-
diant his hopes. Alas only to be
blighted. Whiskey has caused the
best of friends to part in anger who
have been continually in each others
t society for years and shared each oth-
ers burdens and whispered words of
comfort in time of sorrow and be-

tf
reavement and finally when under
ttie influences of the social glass some
disagreement probably of a trival na-
ture causes one friend to fall at the
hands of the other and upon regain-
ing his natural senses be lindstiiat he
has been a murderer and is then
branded a criminal in tlie eyes of the
law, for he has taken that which lie
cannot give. The good book says
that au "Eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth," it also says "Thou shalt
n t kill." We have various laws.
So be it. In the latter part of June
1812 a party of about 12 men with a
large herd of cattle from the south-
ern part of exas passed through
Caldwell on the Chislioltii trail going
about one mile north of town and go-
ing into camp. They arrived into
Camp about 4 a. m. and as the cattle
were somewhat weary from their
long dusty drive the men concluded
to camp and rest until the next day
and lay in a supply of provisions and
proceed oil the journey the following
day' In the afternoon the cowboys
came down to the town of Caldwell
leaving only the cook and cattle
guard at Camp and after purchasing
the necessary prjvislons needed for
the remaining part of their journey,
they begin to drink and play cards.
In these days that I mention in this
writing at this time whiskey could
only be bought near the line of Texas
and then again at the Kansas state
line, consequently the boys would get
very dry in course of so long a drive.
They would lay in a large supply of
wet goods as well as groceries. Well
after these men remained in town un-
til near midnight, the greater num-
ber of them retired to camp. All ex-
cept two who were largely under the
balefull influence of Caldwell's "Kill
'em Quick whiskey and were having
opossom killing time. Occasionally
the cowboys yell could be heard out
clear on the still night air. They
kept yelling and drinking and revel-
ing until very late in the night, final-
ly they seemed to realize the lateness
of the hour and got on their ponies
and started for camp. What scene
took place after their leaving town
no one will ever truthfully know, it
will ever remain a mystery unless a
voice from the dead tells the awful
s£ory. Two shots tired in quick suc-
cession were heard by the men at the
camp, nothing was thought of the
shots for that was very common in
that day to hear pistol shots, t hat
together with the lowing of a cow
was all that broke the^stillness of the
night. When the morning begin to
dawn the cook arose and began to
make preparations for breakfast. He
could see by the light of the coming
day two forms of the cowboys lying
on the ground a short distance from
camp. Tile cook had supposed they
had taken off the saddles of their
ponies and turned them loose to
graze on the green fresh grass and
had lain down to sleep. When break-
fast was ready some one called to
them to get up and as they did not
seem to ifiove one of the men went to
arouse them from their drunken
sleep and behold, can the reader
imagine, whereupon they lay cold in
death with a bullet in each of their
heart. It was a mystery then it is a
mystery now, the facts are past find-
ing out. Just how this happened it
is or has been supposed after leaving
town that these two cowboys disa-
greed, one of them pulled his gun on
the other about the time the other
was ready to fire and probably they
botli fired at about the same time.
The result was that they were both
shot through the heart. Twas a life
for a life, an eye for an eye. The
men hired a man in town paying him
25 dollars to bury these two cowboys,
and tlie herd started on the way with
what was left of the men. The man
made a rude box out of plank for the
coffin and buried these boys about 18
inches under the ground, they were
denied a decent burial. Such was the
fate of two young men who today
might have been living honest upright
lives had they not taken on board too
much "kill 'em quick."

WHITESIDE MIXED.
Conductor Ab ut to Put Act r
and Whole Company off at
Hag St ,tion.
The Advance ltepresentative of Mr. |
Walker Whiteside tells an amusing
incident that occurred as the Walker
Whitefide Company was on its way
from Nashville to Chattanooga a few
days since. It is customary for the
manager of a theatrical company to
carry a party ticket and as the con-
ductor goes through the train each
membef, when approached for his or
her ticket, simply says "'company,"
and the conductor hands each a small I
card or check and then colllects the
party ticket from the manager and
compares the number of passengers
traveling thereon with the numberj
of theatrical people he has checked
off. There were two companies on
the train and in consequence it was
necessary for the players when ap-
proached to tell the name of the com-
pany to which they belonged. The
members of the Whiteside Company
said when the conductor came to
them "Whiteside." The conductor
gave each a elieck and as the number
of "Whiteside" increased, lie looked
pu/./.led. Finally stopping in front
of Mr. Whiteside who like the others I
had spoken the magic word which was
to pass him to Chattanooga, the con-
ductor asked: "What's going on at!
Whiteside?"
The actor looked tip from his man-
uscript wonderingly. "What's going
on at hitesideV" he repeated, en-
quiringly. "There is-nothing going
on "at" Whiteside that I know of:
but Whiteside is going "on" atChat-
anoogatMonday night, if we have no
accident before we get there'"
The conductor looked at the actor
curiously for a instant. "1 mean,"
he said, "that—er—so many people
are going fo Whiteside that there
must be something going on at
Whiteside."
Mr. Whiteside noved farther away
from the aisle and set his suit case up
between himself and the conductor
by way of a barricade should the
conductor become violent.
"I know there are a lot of people
going to Whiteside" replied the act-
or. in soothing tones "but that any-
thing is going on at Whiteside is
news to me."
The conductor leaned toward the
actor and the actor leaned out of the
window.
"Now tell me," whispered the con*
ductor, "what is going on at White-
side?"
"All 1 know is that Whiteside is
going on at Chattanooga."
The conductor smiled knowingly
and passed on, Presently he return
ed and stepping in front of Mr.
Whiteside, said, "That actor White-
side ought to change his name- If
someone hadn't told me I would have
put the whole company off at White-
side. which is a flag station on this
line."
The Special Edition.
The demand for the last issue of
the Events was remarkable. It
seemed that everybody wanted to
send papers back east. Even a large
number of our farmer friends came
in for extra papers and almost our
regular edition was mailed back east
by our subscribers. The Events sent
out 4000 extra copies, the papers go-
ing to every state in the Union, and
are satisfied that a large amount of
good will accrue t& the city and
country by reason thereof. We have
received compliments on every hand
on the edition and are satisfied that
it was appreciated. The edition was
the largest and most complete ever
gotten out in this city. The illus-
trations in the edition alone cost $110.
The Events made no ' money on the
edition, nor did we expect to. How-
ever, we appreciate the liberality by

which the proposition was supported
by our people. All we desired was
to break even.
Mr. W. (\ Wolfe who managed the
writeup of the edit ion spent a month
at the work and received $150 there-
for. While here ho spent over three
hundred dollars in the city, so it will
be seen that no money was carried
out of the city on the edition. Mr.
Wolfe is one of the best men in the
special edition line, and just, cleaned
up $(iOtiO on a special edition at Den-
ver before coming here, As we said
before, he lost $150 by reason of the
Events special edition. However, ne
is a splendid gentleman, but natur-
ally shared a certain amount of criti-
cism attached to men in his business
generally.
"Side Tracked."
A house hold word is "Side Track-
ed" because it never dissappoints an
audience.
As an extra attraction Mr. and Mrs.
Jule Walters, appear in a skit en-
titled "A Chinese Concession" in
the third act of "Side Tracked."
N on not only laugh, but yell with
delight, when you see "Side Track-
ed."
Imagin ail Automobile (full size
touring car) taken out of a clothes
basket (ordinary size) three people
ride in it, electic lights light up,
(wheels revolve. You can see this in
"Side lracked."
Three Pigs are driven on the stage,
automobile runs into them, causing
explotion and a very ludicrous wreck.
This can be seen in "Side Tracked."
So enthusiastic have people be-
come that, ladies in diflerent thea-
tres have stood up and \Vaved their
handkerchiefs at "Horatio" as played
by Jule Walters in "Side Tracked."
There are more good laughs in
"Side Tracked ' than in 15 other so
called comedies.
