ing to stop work on shafts and Z
of the Consolidated Coal company.

WILL BURN OIL.
Looks as Though Coal Would Soon
Be Superseded.

Be Superseded.
Chicago, May 9.-In the yards of the
c. B. & c. company, at Aurora,
number of locomotives are now being
provided with apparatus for burning
oil. 1t is said that it will take but
short time to equip every engine be-
longing to the company with the APP
pliance. The Burlington management
intends to make the first trial trip to
the Mississippi with oil as fuel within
a short time. If the run on this road
proves as successful as the expert
ments in the yard have proven, all the
locomotives in the company's service
will be sent to the shops to be sup
piled with burners.
Superintendent F. c. Rice, of the
company, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of being able to do away
with coal Oil is much cleaner and its
use will leave the locomotives in
much better condition than coal; it
will last much longer, weigh less and
occupy less space, and hence will give
much more room for water.
THE experiments with Oil for fuel for
locomotives which have been made of
late" said a well-known railroad man
yesterday, leave no room for doubt
it is much preferable to COAL and I
believe that it will be a matter of but
a short time until it comes into GEN
eral use. That the Burlington will be
successful, there is every reason to be-
lieye"

Boise. Ida, May "a squad of COM
monwealers came into Caldwell on a
train today, forty in number. They
had possession, but Union Pacific
engineer was in charge. The train was
sidetracked and the United States

orders, was appealed to. The troops at
the barracks were put under orders

themselves in readiness to move. A
deputy marshal read the order to the
men. When the train was ready to
move, this evening, they climbed
aboard the rear cars. These were de-

THE ARMY MUST MOVE.
The Camp Has Been Declared a
Nuisance.


Washington, May 9.-The district
commissioners have decided Coxey is
maintaining a nuisance by keeping his
men in their present camp and have
given him forty-eight hours to abate
the nuisance. The action was taken
on the advice of S. T. Thomas, attor-
ney for the district, and was the result
of a conference between the commits
sioners, health officer Hammett and
Chief of Police Moore today. The ad-
Visibility of applying to the courts for
an injunction against CoXey was con-
sidered, but the attorney said that pro-
ceedings was unnecessary, as he could
be prosecuted in police court for violat-
ing the health ordinances. The forty
eight hours notice dates from o'clock.
1t is likely COxey can comply with
the law by moving his camp from the
square. He expressed his intention to
move when the notice was served, and
limited that he might secure an aban-
doned baseball park near the capitol,
known as Capitol park, where Congress
could have oversight of the army.
Coxey expressed surprise at the
orders and said he had just engaged a
landscape gardener to mark out bitches
for sewers in the old place.
