At Division Hendouarters.

OMAHA, Dec. 10.-Council Bluffs is di-
vision headquarters on the Rock Island
road, and the train dispathers at this
point control all east and westbound
business. The dispatcher's office is not
affected by the strike, because but few
operators in it belong to the Order of
Railway Photographers. The yard Office,
however, is closed, and all orders to the
men are being handled through the dis
patcher's office. All the yard operators
belong to the Order of Railway Telegra-
pliers.
The Rock Island has but one operator
here and he acts as clerk in the city
ticket Office. He refused to quit when
the order came. Three of the five oper-
ators between South Omaha and Lin
coin quit.
The division between Horton, Kan,
and Nelson, Neb., employs TWENTY
three operators. Only nine went out.
The company had eight operators in
readiness to take the places of the
strikers.
Notwithstanding the precautions, the
Rock Island is badly hampered by the
strike and the train dispatchers' services
are in imperative demand all along the
line.

HEART DISEASE.
Cooking steak-Brollcd of Course.

Never wash steak if it can be avoided
This advice does not meet with the appro-
baton of some cooks, but these neat bodies
are very careful if the meat is given Il
drenchng to wipe it perfectly dry before
cooking. Before you place your steak on
the broier see that your fire is glowing
bed of GOALS, and have close at hand butter,
salt, pepper and hot platter. Now place
the cut on the broiler and drop it upon the
Goals for two minutes, when it must be
turned. In this way you secure the juices,
and it is then ready to receive a more
moderate treatment. Watch it constantly,
and turn so dexterously that it will not
smoke or scorch.
Ten minutes is all that is needed for =
rare broil Take a keen blade and cut into
the thickest part If the heart has lost its
purple tinge transfer ut once to the dish,
Sprinkle literally with bits of butter, salt
and pepper. Unless you have hot water
dish do not send the steak in to the table
until all the family are seated, Tough
steak may be made eatable by laying it on
a board and making Slight incisions in the
meat when, If it is rubbed with RESTRAINED
juice of lemon and placed on ice over
night, it will be ready for breakfast

nothing daunted, sprang over the rail,
down, down, and after long search found
the watch, came up, and chased the ship
and climbed back to the deck without any
one knowing had been absent"
"William," said his uncle, ~ believe
thee, but there's many thousand that
would not"
"What" exclaimed William. "You are
politely insinuating Pm a liarW
"William," said the old man gravely,
"thee knows never call anybody names,
but If the mayor of the city were to come
and say, Josiah, | want thee to find the
biggest liar in all Brummagem,' | would

In congressional circles it Is the inn
pression that the decision bpa given The
commission almost its death blow or in
any event that recent decisions culmi-
: mating in Judge Greham's latest have
ali combined to so completelv emascu-
late the commission that If has no
means at its disposal at present to carry
out the purposes for which it was or
ganized and that its complete abolish
ment or entire reorganization is a mat
ter of the near future.
There are many congressman who
favor its complete abolition. for the
reason that in all the years of it's ex-
lstence it has never accomplished any
real practical results. There are Others
and their opinions will soon be
formulated by a bill to that effect-who
believe that the present commission
should be reorgaTized in a iudicial
shape as court having jurisdiction
only in railroad cases. such as the court
of private claims is now organized.
Senator CElllom, the chairman of the
interstate commerce committee in the
senate, looks very favorable on this lat
ter proposition. His bill to project wit
nesses testifying before the court comes
up very early next month, and he says
that take that opportunity to Of
fer some amendments which will infuse
new life into the rresentnl oribund COM
mission.
He agreed with Colonel Morrison that
the constant adverse decisions by emf
nent judges had completely paralyzed
the commission. Another very serious
feature of the Gresham decision was
pointed out Friday morning at the de-
partment of justice to the effect that
this decision will render almost impossi-
BILE any prosecutions under the anti
trust law.
