A decided step was taken in the development of the water-borne traffic between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico when a train of self-pro-pelled barges loaded with 600,000 feet of Louisiana red gum anid oak made the trip from New Orleans up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers to the head of river navigation at Ia Salle, 111., and then through the old Illino's and Michigan canal, and the Chicago Drainage canal to Chicago. These 1,000-ton barges are driven by internal combustion engines using producer gas which is made on the vessels from waste coke as needed. —From the February Popular Mechanics Magazine.

It must take a lot of coal to warm the house in which the ladies shown in the cuts in the underwear advertisements live. Last time I saw them the thermometer read around zero, and yet the ladies were grouped in the drawing room gossiping about fashions and sitting on divans in trout of open windows reading love stories. And yet the most comfortably dressed of the lot wore nothing but a pair of shoulder ribbons and an abbreviated lace curtain. —Luke McLuke. David Grayson, writing “Hempfield” in the February American Magazine, comments as folows on the doers of America “There are two ways by which men advance in this world — one is by doing, the other Is by being. We Americans, these many' years, have been cultivating and stimulating the doers. We have made the doers our heroes, and have therefore had no poetry, no art, no music, no personality, and, I was going to say, religion. Doing leads the way to riches, power, reputation, and if it occasionally lands a man in the penitentiary, still we feel that there is something grand abou it, and reflect that the same process also leads to the senate or the white house or a palace on Fifth avenue.” WERE IN CHEERFUL MOOD. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 28 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The legislature was in a cheerful mood today. After receiving several big measures the senate played with the civil rights of married women, while the house romped with wild animals. When Senator Riedelbach’s bill to allow married women to make contracts without the consent of their husbands was brought up for irassage, the final emergency clause was first removed, then the second section was killed and finally the enacting clause, which was the first and most inpor tant thing in the bill was struck out. The house killed the Mathern bill to repeal the law prohibiting the use of ferrets in hunting. Representative Eschbach declared that orchards were being ruined by rabbits. The house passed the Erny bill permitting the transportation of wild animals and the Feick bill extending the closed season on squirrels until August 1. o PREACHED FUNERAL. Rev. Mrs. Benjamin Borton. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schultz were at Poe yesterday where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Ake. The Rev. Borton preached the funeral service, which was held at the Poe Christian church. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz were former neighbors of the Ake family.

A PARADISE LOST AT THE LYRIC Friday Afternoon & Evening

This is a powerful four-reel photo drama carrying the tlements nocessary to have it hold gripping interest from start to finish. Miss Betty Nansen, the distinguished tragedienne, again is featured in a role which affords her excellent opportunity for the display of her talents. The story is that of Muriel Yorke, who has found a husband, but who is so wrapped up in his duties as superintendent of police that he has little time to devote to the social enjoyments which she craves. Yorke is inattentive, not intentionally, but the tact remains that all of Muriel’s pretty arts to distract him from his police work are in vain. Time hangs heavily on her hands; she eats her meals alone, and gradually falls into a state of melancholy. One evening while in searcli of recreation Muriel, atracted by the music and gaiety, enters a fashionable case unattended, and there meets Eric Le Blanc, a gentleman in manjers, but in reality the chief of a band of international conspirators. They meet frequently thereafter, and their friendship soon ripens into love. Their meetings are frequent, but Yorke is so absorbed in his duties that he does not note the great change that lias come over his wife. In the meantime Le Blanc has received secret information from some of his band that Commissioner Yorke has in his possession a description of every member of the gang, and the latter demands that tiiese be procured at any cost. Le Blanc undertakes the difficult task and breaks into the Commissioner’s home. During his search he comes face to face with Muriel, and for the first time learns her identity. She, on the other hand, then realizes that she has been bestowing her affections upon an adventurer. But notwithstanding this stunning reveiation, she aids his escape from the house. Commissioner Yorke, in the meantime, has been attracted by strange noises in the house, and proceeds to make an investigation. He enters his wife's bedroom, and, finding her apparently asleep, continues on his investigations, He discovers fingerprints on the knob of the door leading to Muriel's room, but he is still unsuspicious. By means of the fingerprints he learns the identity of the intruder and makes preparations to act. When Muriel learns that Her husband is preparing for a raid, she hesitates between love and duty, and finally decides to warn her lover of his danger She hastens to his apartments and im plores him to escape while there is yet time. She points cut that they may botli leave the place without being seen, but Le Blanc refuses, and prates that her love has made him a better man. and that he proposes to accept' punishment for his crimes and then lead a better life. In the meantime Yorke has obtained proof of his wife's perfidy, and with two detectives, breaks into Le Blanc's apartments. Standing in the center of the drawing room is the guilty pair awaiting the blow' that is about to fall. In this tensely dramatic scene Miss Nanses arises to the full heights of her emotional powers. Commissioner Yorke glares scornfully at his wife for a tew seconds: then chai lenges Le Blanc and orders his ar?est. As the detective are taking him from the room, Muriel makes a move as if to rescue him, but Yorke g,|isps her by the wrists, and after burning her soul with his reproaches, casts her aside as an object unworthy. She is left to her own conscience. Admission 5 and 10c
