TRAFFIC TIED UP BY A BALKY MULE Traction Company Bows to the Animal's DemandsKind Words Sooth.

' Muncle, Ind., June 17. Tom'lJrinon'i mule docs not care anything bout tbe Indiana Union Traction company, with ita hundreds of miles of track and mllions of invested capital. Indeed, but for a contemptuous display of heels when the matter was broached to tho mule, and her evident disdain of all things fractional and earthly, one might well have suposed that Agnes such being her namehad never heard of the traction company.

While plodding down Mulberry etreet, occupying the middle of tho track constituting the loop, about which nearly all city and traction cars must go In order to cover their routes, Agnes suddenly stood still, almost in front of the Doleware hotel. Tom Brinson, farmer, owner and driver of tho mule, sought to persuade Agnes to take heed to her sorroundIngs and his own embarrassment by moving on, but Agnes was deaf to all entreaties, and when Brinson flicked her with his whip, she just twitched her cars, assumed a threatening attitude and then kicked. City and Intertirban cars came along and halted, and employes coaxed and entreated the mulo to move, but in aln. She merely "hee-hawed," cocked her ears and kicked again. Policemen built a fire under her and a bold man tried to bite tho mule's car, but neither plan succeeded. Finally Charles A. Baldwin, superintendent of all the traction lines of tbe Indiana Union Trtctlon company, appeared on the scene, and, clothed with his authority, strode forth and said something to tho mule. Whatever he said. Agnes only emitted another "heo-haw." Then while men sought teams of horses to pull tho stubborn Agnes from tho track, her owner said in a soothing voice, "Go long. Agnes," and Agnes, out of the gratitude of her heart for the few kind words words spoken, "went long," and the traction and street can rushed forward, thirty minutes late.

New York, June 17. Bitterly assailing the modern methods of education, which he characterizes as calculated to produce the largest possible number of mediocrities, Professor SidIs, M. A., Ph. D., M. D., father of the twelve-year-old genius who has created a sensation at Harvard, issued from the press a treatise on the proper way to care for children. Instead of the course of study given his son having harmed the child, the doctor Insists the youth Is today in far better physical condition than the average schoolboy fourteen years old. The proper way to educate a child Is to begin at the age of two, says the doctor. "By answering and encouraging all

infantile questions," he continues, "the child will acquire knowledge with

the same ease as he learns to ride the bicycle. By the tenth year the child will have acquired knowledge which at the present time the university graduate only obtains with Infinite labor and pain.

"Tho fathers , and mothers must change existing methods. Tho present school system squanders the resources of the country and wastes tho energies, the lives of our children.

INTEREST IS TAKEN

In Richmond's "Colony Factory" Plan. So popular has proven the colony factory plan at the old Richmond, Ind., Manufacturing company's plant in West Richmond that before tho summer is over it is expected the entire facilities of the plant will be utilized. There have been a number of manufacturers in Richmond recently who have announced they would like to locate their business here, and one has practically decided to locate at the "colony" plant. It is somewhat surprising how much interest Commercial clubs in other manufacturing cities have taken in the Richmond plan. Secretary C. W. Jordan of the local organization is in receipt of several letters wishing to know the details of the plan while other commercial club secretaries have inquired to know when it would be convenient for members of their clubs to pay Richmond a visit with the idea of studying the colony factory plan. The plan is only in its infancy here and its practicability in all respects hardly as yet determined.

Lincoln, Neb., June 17 Charging that the Democrats who axe now attacking him and accusing him of trying to wreck the party are in the same class with those who have in the past proved treacherous to the party W. J. Bryan, in the forthcoming issue of his Commoner, turns a broadside on his critics and throws light on what he says is some past political history. Bryan makes the sensational charge that when he was three times candidate for the presidency he was knifed not only by leaders of the party, but

by committeemen, who were presum-j ed to be conducting the campaign in his behalf. Mr. Bryan denies that he is attempting to dictate, and says: "Mr. Bryan's body, politically speaking, is scattered all over by the knives that have been wielded by the repre

sentatives of plutocracy within the Democratic party and outside. "He has made three campaigns and in every one of them he has had to meet treachery within the party as well as assailants from without. "He has had to conduct his campaigns through committeemen, some of whom were in league with the opposition and in secret correspondence with the enemy. "He has seen the party platform attacked sometimes openly and sometimes by innuendo by those pretending to support thg ticket, and he has seen the platform repudiated immediately after the election by papers who professed to Bupport it during the campaign. "He has had to contend with timid politicians who professed friendship only out of fear of their constituents, and only so long as that pretended friendship would help them. "But he has found the heart of the party sound. He has found the rank and file of the party true. To this multitude of Democrats, uncorrupted and undefilcd, he owes whatever strength he has."

Canon City, Colo.. June 17. On application by Royal L. Downs, of Chicago, one of four children, to have himself appointed administrator of his father's estate, Judge Cooper, in the Fremont county court, removed as administratrix Mrs. M. G. Mobley, wife of Lewis A. Downs by a bigamous marriage and granted the son's petition. , Mrs. Mobley married Downs in Denver, December 12, 18909, cot knowing, she claims, that he had a wife living in Chicago. She did not learn that her husband was a bigamist until seven or eight years after she married him.

corset manufacturers in Chicago, and traveled for his firm throughout the west. He met Mrs. Mobley, the divorced wife of James Mobley, of Carrolton, Mo., and married her in Denver without telling her of his wife in Chicago. lie established a home in Denver for Mrs. Mobley and lived with her there and at Canon City. Last' April Downs was stricken in Chicago and when he learned that he had no chance to recbver'he sent for Mrs. Mobley to, come to him. Before his death he told her that he wanted her to receive a share of his property, but that in order to obtain it she would have to act with the greatest caution. By his direction she returned to

Canon City, and, after he died, applied

to the court to be appointed adminis

tratrix of his estate here, which con

sisted of real estate valued at $6,000, The application was granted. A few days after the letters of administra

tion had been issued to Mrs. Mobley, a letter was received by the court from Chicago heirs, asking to be heard

on an application for letters of ad ministration.

When the case was heard Judge

Cooper granted the application of the son and removed Mrs. Mobley as administratrix, holding that she had no

interest in the estate.

ter tbe robbers had collected all the cash they fled to the street. Simmons, upon being released, ran behind the desk, secured his revolver and fired after the retreating figures. The party seperated, six men making for Broadway and the other two heading for Seventh avenue- The two running towards Seventh avenue ran into the

arms of two policemen whose attention had been attracted by the shooting. A terrific battle ensued before the two were subdued. They gave the names of Joe Ross and Louis Bauman, the former claiming to be a liquor dealer in East 180th street, and the

latter a clerk. The prisoners refused to give any information about their companions. A trail of blood along the pavemenut led the police to believe one of them had been struck by one of Simmons bullets and hospitals were notified to be on the lookout for the wounded man.
