Not a sikgle switch engine in the city
was moved. In the freight yards
everything Is in confusion. Morning

work, but the strikers interfered and
successfully prevented the departure
OF any trains. The engineers and
tiremen aae in symoathy with the
swi.ehmen, and made no attempt 10
man their engines. In nearly every

gines to their stalls and drew the fire
when the switchmen requested it. All

one yard to another and warning APP

took to touch switch engines they
would be handled roughly. The Off

Good Whether It Cures or Not.

Self-massage IS recommended as a
cure for dyspepsia The method is:
First thing in the morning and last
thing at night rub the abdomen down
the left side and the right In a round
circle, also rub down the breast: now
pace across the room once or twice,
and then snap the lower limbs, like s
whip lash, for exercise. Now twist
the lower limbs. first on one side, then
on the other, and rock upon the toes.
Now for the lungs and abdomen; first
take in half breath, then exhale alI
the air possible, then fill the lungs to
their full capacity, walk across the
room and back, at the same time
throwing the arms back. Now in a
half breath send out every particle of
air till you see the abdomen working
like bellows, and you will soon be-
come deep breather. For more ex-
tended practice in deep breathing the
morning before rising is a good time,
providing there is full ventilation and
the air inside is as pure and fresh as
that on the outside. In the winter
time before a good fire wash the hands
and wet the back of the neck. arms
and lower limbs slightly. and rub down
with q coarse towel. This Is sufficient
for a beginner, but the chronic dys-
peptic needs more extensive exercise.

Interested Railroads Trying 10
Remedy Some of the Existing Evils.

The committee appointed at the
conference of representatives OF the
Transcontinental and Central Traffic
Associations and trunk lines, at St.
Louis, to remedy the existing evils on
Pacific coast business, reported that
the condition which unfavorably af-
fected the revenues from east bound
passenger traffic from the Pacific coast
were attributable to the fact that the
representatives on the cosst improp-
erly received and disbursed funds for
the purpose of securing business. As
the Eastern lines are desirous OF bet
tering the conditions under which such
troffic exists st present, it is probable
some action viii be taken ere long, on
on the recommendation Of the COM
mittee that all lines adopt such restric-
tions as would secure uniform action,
and that each association take up the
subject and consider it separately.
Any ASSOCIATION agreeing upon uni
form rules will doubtless receive the
cooperation of all the others.
