A GREAT SENSATION

In Railroad Circles-Thirty-one Railroads
Called to Account by Attorney General
OIney-All Southern Pacific Roads AT
fected.
A PETITION in equity which is Of a sensa-
tional character was filed in the United
States circuit court at Los Angeles, Cal,
last week. This petition is instigated and
presented by Attorney General Olney, and
is directed against the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company and thirty other railroad
companies, besides many noted railroad
people 1t is stated the effect will be to
make every corporation now part of the
Southern Pacific Company operate under a
separate management and make void all
monopoly of freight and passenger traffic.
The petition is in the name of the United
States and shows how the railroads in the
corporation form an extensive continuous
line. The defendants are charged with
combining and conspiring together and with
other persons and corporations to restrain
trade and commerce between and among
several states, and between and among
states and territories of the United States,
and the United States and foreign countries.
Even the corporate existence of the railroad
companies is questioned in the petition in
view of unlawful acts, and it prays that the
pretended articles of consolidation between
the Southern Pacific road and seventeen
other railroad corporations be annulled
that the pretended mortgage of the South
ern Pacific Company to the Central Trust
Company of New York for S37 900, 900 to be
annulled, and that all contracts, leases,
agreements and consultations between the
defendants and each defendant railroad and
transportation company be annulled, and
that each company be required to operate
its own railroad or transportation line.

AMBASSADOR B1YIRD

Speaks for America Mt the Celebration of
the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Sub
marine Lines.
THE twenty-fifth anniversary of the lay
ing of the Atlantic cable was celebrated in
London last Saturday evening. Several
colonial governors, many scientific men,
naval officers, and social leaders were pres
emit. United States Ambassador Bayard
responded to " The International Aspects OF
Submarine Telegraphy." On such an oc-
casion he said, he could not be unmind-
full of that great American, Cyrus w Field,
to whom the world owed so much in the
critical days of submarine telegraphy. He
wished that Mr.. Field had lived to be pres
ent. He was glad to speak his name in the
assembly before him and in the presence of
that English brother who took Mr.. Fields
hand in the hour of dire extremity and
great experiment. He had always regarded
submarine telegraphy as blessed means of
harmonizing the nations. 1t undoubtedly
lessened the chances of war. The battle OF
New Orleans on January s, 1915, might
have been prevented had submarine teleg-
raphy then been in operation.

The English Are to Build One That VIII
Surpass the Ferris.
English writers just now are gloating
over the fact that the great wheel which
is now being built at Earl's court &C.
cording to the plans Of Lieutenant J.
w. Graydon is to be considerably larger
than the Ferris wheel which was shown
at the Worlds fair in Chicago. The
British wheel will be 800 feet in dame
ter, whereas the Ferris wheel measured
only 200 feet across. 1t will be able TO
hold l, 600 persons, and the Ferris wheel
could accommodate only 1858 at a
time
The big wheel at Earl's court is also
different from the Ferris wheel in re-
spect to the towers which support the
axle on each side of the wheel They
will be over ITO feet high, and four
stories will contain saloons and will be
connected with outside elevators as we'll
as staircases The steel axle, which is
seven feet in diameter, will have pas
sage through it.
OF course it is expected that the
masses in London will avail themselves
of this opportunity to enjoy new recre-
alton. The carriages and cars will be so
arranged that each one will hold 40 per-
sons and may be entered at eight differ
ent places. Each turn of the wheel will
take about 30 minutes, and there will
be five stops The wheel will be proba-
bly, in operation some time in July or

EDWARD e. AVER. Art palace OF the
great exposition, which was considered
one Of the finest buildings on the
grounds A reference library of 10, 900
volumes is connected with the museum,
and each department has besides Ii
brary of works bearing on the particular
subjects there illustrated. The actual
cost of the building and its contents is
about So, 900, 600, but it would be i'm
possible to duplicate the museum in its
present shape for twice that sum. Mar
shall Field, after whom the museum is
named, headed the list of subscriptions
with a contribution of 81, 000, 600.
Edward E. Aver, the president of the
Field Columbian museum, is one of
Chicago's wealthiest and best known
business men. He took an active in
terest in the museum project from its
inception and donated a collection of
Indian relics valued at 800, 900. 1t
represents tho dress, manufactures,
weapons and customs Of the Apache,
Sioux Cree, Pima, Yuma, Navajo,
Cherokee, Choctaw, Ottawa and Chip
pewa Indians and the Alaska and north
Greenland Eskimo. 1t is said to be the
best chronological collection of Indian
life and methods in the world.
Mr.. Aver was born in Kenosha, Wis. /,
Nov. 16, 1S41. He was educated i'll dis
trict schools in Wisconsin and Illinois
and in 1861 went to California There
he enlisted in the First California cav
airy. He was afterward transferred tc
the First New Mexico infantry, where
he was promoted to be second lieuten-
ant Iii 1864 he resigned and returned
to his fathers home at Harvard, Ills.
and began business as railroad con-
tractor. In 1881 he secured timber
lands and sawnills in Arizona and or
ganized the Aver Lumber company,
with capital stock Of $3.50, 900.

Some OF the Dangers of Using 1t as a Gen.

Some OF the Dangers of Using 1t as Gem
eraI Prescription Counter.
Nervousness is as much fad as
anything else" said DIR. Egbert Dixon
of Buffalo, ''and the modern soda water
fountain has more to do with the in
crease of the mania than anything else
In days of old when soda water was first
added to the wares Of the druggist it
was devoted entirely to satisfying the
public taste for something cool, sweet
and refreshing. Fruit sirups of q harm
less character were fzzled up to a prop
er degree of gaseous bubbiing, and the
mission of the soda water fountain was
commendable one.
Nowadays it is devoted to bromos,
nervines and lots of other things that
arc made from the deadliest sort Of
drugs, while they are hung with signs
inviting people to become their own
physicians by trying some Of the count
less nostrums which are alleged to cure
anything from headache to an ingrow
ing toe nail in an almost inconceivably
small space of time. The tired out indi-
vidrtal sees one Of the nervine signs and
mistakes his WEAKNESS for nervousness
and straightway proceeds to doctor him
self with something, no knows not what,
but which, on account of its powerful
properties, braces him up and makes
him feel bright
"The natural result follows. He takes
some more of the soda water fountain
stuff whenever he gets tired, and in a
month or so his system is on the road to
general breaking up. Drugging ones
self at o soda fountain is dangerous,
and, as / said in the beginning, nerv-
BUSINESS is largely fad. If supposed
sufferers from nervous attacks would
only so out and split wood for half an
hour, if men, or take a brisk walk, If
women, and then take bath and take
nap, there wouldn't be SO much heard
of this silly rot about nervousness being
our national disease. ''---W Washington
