EXPERIENCE OF PASSENGERS ON a
ROCK ISLAND TRAIN.
They Had Jolly Time. Telling stories,
singing ana Fcas,ipg, While Four
Engines Tioughcd Through
the Cut.

Rock Island passenger train No. II. due
at the Union depot In this city from Chi
cago at 10 o'clock In the morning. came
pulling into the depot last night at 1920
O'Clock. after a hard battle with snow and
storm. About fifteen or twenty passeng gers
who had made the through trip allghted
from the platforms, bat they were not
grumbllng. One of them said that he
never met n joller crowd and that six
hours in snow drift, with four engines
trying to batter 1t down and carry them
safely through during all those hours. was
not such n bad experience after ALL when
every convenience Of modern railroad
travel was at hand.
The train had really been In n single
drift of snow about iO0 feet in length and
in n deep cut two miles east of Lenz, la.
from 33l o'clock yesterday morning until
little after Q o'clock. The cars were
taken out of the drift one at a time and
it was all that four engines, working in
cessantly in attempts to plow and force II
way through the snow, could do TO get the
cars out in nearly six hours. Train Con-
ductor Crawford had his face badly fros ted
while directing a part OF the work. The
snow in the cut was at first about twenty
had ceased piowins and pushing. walls of
snow had risen on each side of the last
car taken from the cut almost even with
the top windows. All the passengers ate
their breakfast while in the snow drift

by the snow blockade.
~ never met n better ratured lot of
snowbound people In my life said Pull
man Conductor c. f. Williams, of the be-
lated train, last night. They entertained
themselves by card playing. story telling
and in various ways and seemed to enjoy
the sight of the engines fighting IL great
snow drift immensely. To some of them
the platforms watching the snow fly until
their ears and noses were almost frost
bitten. Train Conductor Crawford's face
was frosted in the excitement before he
knew it
George Y. Stearns, of Independence, who
was on the snowbound train looked about
at the cars with some of their window
frames still holding hard packed snow, and
said: We'll. we had a merry trip If we
We're IN snow drift for six hours. AT
first we were told that 1t was likely that
we would be delayed only an hour or two.
and that time dragged slowly, but when
we found that we We're really snowbound,
for a period no one knew the extent of
Just then. most of us enjoyed the novelty
of the situation and set about TO amuse
ourselves. a few played cards. others told
stories and finally we had rectations and
singing, and there was iinpromptu enter
tainment furnished by some of those pas
sengers that made time go swiftly. There
was a Mr.. Westerfall, of st. Louis, trav

CURED HIM Up
After Years of Weakness and suffering
From Asthma and Catnrrh.

Mr. John Novak, the old time store clerk
at Lemont. Ill, having taken treatment
FOR catarrh aud asthma with the Copeland
specialists, says:
when I berpn treatment with them |
was In a bad way The catarrh of the head
and throat had extended toward the lungs,
inilaming the air passages and causing
hard breathing or asthma. 1t had at the
same time extended to the stomach and
bowels causing chronic dyspepsia and con-
stlpatlon. Any one of these troubles Is
enough to keep n man sick. Take them all
together and they are enough either to
kill him or set him crazy
For instance. the asthma affected me
at times so that | could hardly draw air
enough into my lungs to keep me alive.
| would have to sit up all night In n chair.
l would be afraid to lie down for fear of
choking or stranglng to death. In bad
weather l couldn't make the least bodily
eNertion without having to pant and strug-
gle to get my breath.
After eating | would bloat up with gas
or siclien with pain and distress at the
stomach. My bowels seemed paralyzed and
the constant use OF purgatives to move
them helped to bring on bad condition of
nervousness and physical debility. But the
treatment | got from DR.. Copeland cured
the constipation and the dyspepsia as well
IS the asthma. They brought me to about
as strong and healthy condition as l was

their new posts, accepting return tickets

serious setback was received by the
strikers to-day when Judge Gaynor in the
supreme court in the matter of an appli-
cation for a mandamus against the rail-
road companies. allowed them twenty days
In which to file an answer.
The uprising that has occurred at Fish

pounds, were stolen. one Of the plumb
bobs alone weighed about twelve pounds
All the materials stolen were entirely new
1t Is feared that they Will be broken up
with hammers and disposed OF to unscru-

While II is not positively certain that the
stolen goods Were removed In Il wagon
there Is good reason to believe so, as a
wagon was seen standing before the place

There were no men about, ana they were
evidently in the elevator works at the
time. The matter was reported TO the
Central police station, and descriptions Of
