OHIO IS TO BE All EXAMPLE Indiana, Missouri and Illinois Are Waiting to See How New Plan Works There. The movement for a universal two cent fare is growing rapidly, and present indications point to such a rate prevailing in Indiana, ; Illinois, and Wisconsin within the next year. The prediction was made a short time before the bill was introduced in the Ohio Legislature, governing fares, that two cents fares would , be the rate in the four central states, and everything bears out this prediction. In this state, the Legislature does not meet this winter, but when there is talk of, an extra session, rate legislation is, brought t up in , connection with the. Storms case, and it is the intention to hit both of these in case n special session is called. In Wisconsin iplans are also on foot to make n two cent rate; the law, and Illinois Keeins. to' be in! favor of the cheap The other states are holding off to pee. wnat 'will be done in Ohio, in the way of cutting down (service and in o T 1 5 1 oonveniencing passengers.

Hadley told of the strange weird swamp land, its primeval appearance and of the wonderful and beautiful birds he studied there. Mr. Hadley went into the heart of this marsh land and traversed territory where but few white men, or in fact Indians, had been before him. Many of the specimens he collected, during this trip are now exhibited at the Earlham College Museum. At the conclusion of Mr. Hadley's address Amos W. Butler, secretary of the State Board of Charities and a naturalist with a national reputation, delivered a stereopticon lecture on "Our Bird Neighbors.' ' Speaking of some of the birds which are old acquaintances with the people of this vicinity, Mr. Butler said that the screech owl, was now in our midst and could be seen nightly.

SENDS YOKE TO HISS AUGElji Br ROCKEFELLER

UNIQUE GIFT FROM ANGOLA . ADMIRER, OF FATHER. ,J President's Daughter Will Receive a Miniature Ox Yoke, Symbol of . United Happiness. Angola,.. Ind.,. February.. 15. Among the thousands of wedding presents which Miss Alice Roosevelt will receive, there will be one from this city, which is believed will not escape her notice. Perhaps the president's daughter will receive none more unique. - The gift was sent by John Wilcox, and is a miniature ox yoke, with bows and. staple ring complete. The yoke was made by Mr. Wilcox with a pocket knife on a summer afternoon forty years ago, when he was a barefoot boy. Mr. Wilcox is a well-known resident of Angola and has long been an ardent admirer of "President Roosevelt. With the wedding gift he sent a letter explaining the history of the trinket and asking that the yoke be considered symbolical of united happiness. "I believe that the trinket will be appreciated,' ' said Mr. Wilcox, today, "and I hope that it is not too old to be of service to the happy couple." TEDDY, JR.. FOR REFEREE.

SOME STATISTICS IN GOAL AMERICA LEADS IN MACHINE MINED PRODUCT. Discouraged. Over, Britain's Slowness In !Adapting New Methods of r Getting Coal from Ground. : ' London, February 15. Some startling' facts regarding American competition in the coal ' trade were brought! out prominently by ' Walter Rowley, a mining engineer oi Leeds, who visited America in 1004 with the British - Institution of Civil Engfiineers. ; -.:! . ; In a paper read the other 'day' before the Institution of Civil ; Engineers, Rowley, whose paper was "entitled "Some Observations of , a Mining, Engineer in America," remarked that citizens of America may thank the geological features of the great coal field of the ; Appalachan chain for their comparative freedom from smoke. , Since 1S99 ! the . United States has; been the largest coal producer in the world.- : i ! ; The use of coal cutting machines had been received far more favorably in America than it( had been here and while in England only , about S per cent of the output was got, by the use of machinery in., America- no lessi than 26 per cent, of the joutput was machine mined." ... i ,u In 1R41 the record tonnage on coal got ,in the, states was ; 220 tons ; in 1D03 the output had risen to. 316,000,000 tons. . The output of ' the United Kingdom for 1903 was 230,000,000tons, At present coal from the neighborhood of Pittsburg was delivered on the. Atlantic seaboard at a lower rate a ton than fdal of ,n similar quality !ffwas ; sold , ''free on board" in England; and i yet the distance of Pittsburg' from the seaboard was about f300 miles i Vi It wasthis extremely low cost of 'trahsportatioh that would ipompete Vith Engtarid, !for .exjport j ,, of ,'coaV ,1 o; Mediterranean rmrU." 1 KHi-J , Boston f Herald says "the Democracy of New York state ' doesn t . laek for leaders."

-HAS BEEN FOUND

IS AT HOME OF 'HIS SON, THE EIELkCXASS" TEAciHER ' : " AT' POCANTICO HILLS. I -i HAS All IDEAL HIDING PLACE Detectives Have Eeen On Constant Lookout John D. Is Enjoying Some Golf Practice. New York, Feb. 15. John D. Rockefeller has been found, according to M. E. Palmedo, the process server who caught II. II. Rogers and who has been after Rockefeller for several weeks. But Palmedo has not served the subpoena yet. Mr. Rockefeller is not hiding in the shelter of the north pole nor in the languorous shade of the southern palms, according to Palmedo, but in the home of his son, the Bible class teacher, at Pocantico Hills. Mr. Rockefeller has been at Pocantico uninterruptedly, it is said, since January 23, when he went up from New York under cover of the night, sequestered in the mansion of his son, a quarter of a mile from his own home, unknown to the process servers who have been camping out for three months at Tarrytown. Pocantico Hills is an ideal hiding place. There are about 6,000 acres, with steep hills, deep gullies, winding roads, thick hills and stone walls with unexpected turns. : John D. Rockefeller has a modest sort of a home there a very plain but roomy frame building,, painted 5 a dazzling yellow, resting on a base, of, fiery red brick, which nestles at the bottom of the slope ami is easily seen from the public road. From the house three macadam driveways run to the most remote parts of the estate. One of them, winding to the north, rasses the home of John U. Jr., a mansion in the old French renaissance style, the gabled roof of which, surmounted by a tower can be seen for miles around. Its approach is hedged with thickly groAving evergreen trees and at the ront there is a wide circle in which is a flower bed. The house looks big enough , to ; accommodate a regiment of process; servers. ! It has great, staring windows "with heavy lace curtains. ' '-;..' ' . .! -V . 1 ' . From : the 'house there is a clear view of the surrounding country and the . tower affords a still wider surr vey of the country. - In this tower ojie;!,of Rockfeller 's private ; detectives, it is believed, has been, on, the watch for process servers since Jan. 23. With this espionage Mr.' Rockefeller has . been enabled,; when the fbast was clear, to saunter over the estate or indulge his passion for golf oh the nearby links. , s :; ; ', No process man has been able to get Upon the golf links while he has been disporting on them ' because whenever any one who has looked at all suspicious has come around Mr. Rockefeller has been warned and a hurried trip to him safe from the house has kept the dreaded court summons.

In spite of the courteous statement made recently by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, relative to the invitations to the Longworth-Roosevelt wedding, some persons are still inclined to criticise the selection of guests, although friends of the president's family who would have been asked had the accommodations permitted, seem the least offended.
