The city editor of the Des Moines
Daily News, who brought along his
sketch artist to do the Overland Limi-
ted out of Chicago, made an elegant
write-up of the run on the east end,
and run cuts of more than dozen of
the people identified with that occa-
sion. Here it may be said that the
News showed enterprise from which
other Iowa papers might we'll copy.
In October there were handled IN
the Big -Four system cars of 336 for
eign roads, fast freight and private
lines. which demonstrates what
large territory the Big Four as a. sys-
tenn in it's connections reaches. The
Big Four lines (proper) last week
handled at Indianapolis S719 loaded
cars, against 1895 in the week ending
November 9, an increase of 324 loaded
cars.

PLANT FOR TESTING ENGINES.
Feature of the G. q N. w. Shops In
spected By a Herald Reporter.

1t may well be said that this is an
age of invention and progress, and in
railway channels is this exempIifed
most clearly.
The Herald representative who was
In Chicago last Saturday, visited the
shops of the Chicago & Northwestern
for the sole purpose of examining there
a plant used by that company for test
ing engines. 1t is the only one of the
kind in Chicago, and so far as The
Herald representative can learn, is the
second one in this country. A brief de-
scription of it may be run in the fol-
lowing summary:
An engine is backed over the pit in
the round house, (minus the tank and
by strong rod is coupled to the bump
ing post in the rear, while in front an
other rod anchored to the bottom of
the pit, is coupled to the axles of the
pony trucks. This done, the operator
adjusts a set of blind driving wheels
to come directly under the driving
wheels of the engine, and there are
three sets of such wheels in order to
meet the requirements of ten wheelers
as we'll as eight wheelers. Those
wheels are held in a sliding frame to
admit of fine adjustment. By means
of compressed air, the track is raised
ment is made, the track drops down
and then leaves the engine drivers
resting directly upon the blind drivers
all is then in readiness for the test.
The engineer gives her steam and she's
off; not off in the literal meaning of
the term, but off so far as all her
working parts are concerned.
The coal is all weighed that goes into
the fire-boX, and computation made
showing clearly how much steam can
be had from it under different circunl-
stances. Steam guages on the cylinders
register the amount of back pressure,
and the valve workings are also made
clear Another indicator shows the
speed attained. and only the other day
an engine was put through her PAGES
on the blocks at a speed of Y miles
an hour.
Then when it is decided to test her
with a train weight, the air brakes
are applied to the blind drivers to any
degree desired-she can be stalled right
then and there.
In brief, the new device admits of
testing and "breaking in" engines in
manner highly satisfactory in every
way. and results obtained that aston
isbes all not conversant with such new
and progressive methods. The Herald
inclines to the belief that this device
will be generally adopted by all the
great roads at no distant day, as it
is absolutely necessary to economy and
first class railroadlng.

KELLY is THE MAN,
Will Probably Succeed Thurston as
U. p. General Solicitor.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.-S. H. H.
Clark. of the Union Pacific, stopped
here today on his way to New York
to attend a meeting of the receivers.
In an interview he said:
My present trip to New York has
no particular significance and presages
no important step towards settling the
muddled affairs of the Union Pacific.
The most important action taken at
the coming meeting will be the ap-
polntment of a successor to Senator
John M. Thurston, who recently re-
signed the position of general solicitor.
While the selection has not been
definitely made, there is every indica-
ton that the appointment will fall to
Judge W. R. Kelly, present assistant
solicitor of the road

overcome Mr.. Young's apparent ma
jority cast for Mr.. Thompson in the
wrong ballot boxes. The contestant will
claim that under the decision of the
territorial supreme court in the Dem
ing VS.. Young case, decided several
years ago ON an appeal from Summit
county, these ballots should all be
counted. When asked what reason he
had for believing that they would
prove to be of advantage to him rather
than to his opponent, Mr.. Thompson
stated that he believed that would turn
out to be the fact in the case because
the judges had said SO. Mr.. Thompson
desires that the matter should be re-
ferred to some person to be agreed up
On as a means of securing expedition
and economy. George Sutherland, John
NJ. Zane and George Meyer will lead
the forlorn hope for Mr.. Thompson.

FOOTBALL AT THE FORT.
The Soldiers Defent the All Hal
lows College Team.

By far the most interesting game Of
bootball played on the Fort Douglas
grounds this season came off yesterday
afternoon between the second eleven
Of the Fort and the All Hallows college
team. A large crowd, composed mostly
Of the residents of the Fort, including
a number of officers and ladies, as
sembled on the lower grounds at 2
p. m. to witness the first game of All
Hallows college with the invincible
second team of the post. The soldiers
came off victorious after by no means
an easy fight, the score being % to 0.
On account of the game not having
been advertised there were only a few
visitors present from the city.
The position of the players on the
Fort team was as follows:
Left end, Malarkey; left tackle, Cam
eron; left guard, jacobson; center
Splaine; right guard, Johnson; right
tackle, Graham; right end, Whitall;
left half, Bradfield; right half, Will
Jams (captain); quarter, Gill Allen. full
back, Mcbride.
After the game was over the teams
were weighed at the post and to the
surprise of everyone the All Hallows
team weighed lis pounds more than
the Fort team. Many who witnessed
the game were of the opinion that the
college team was much lighter than
the soldiers. Manager Allen retired
after the first half, Williams decided
to play quarter and Smallon, the
sprinter, played only in the second
half.
The Fort people are loud in their
praise of the way the college team
played ball 1t was their first game
of the season and there was a notable
absence of smuggling and cursing and
no foul plays, and the soldiers demon
strated the fact that they can play
a clean game Of football.
Mud" the pseudonym of the left
end, was very much in evidence for
the college boys. Bradfield played re-
markedly fine ball, as did also Small
don. Malarkey, Williams and Splaine.
Williams did some straight arm work
which was very effective, but was
stopped by Manager Allen.
The weight of the college team ag-
gregated 1850 pounds and the Fort
1892
straight-book rules governed. Will
Jams, company D, captain. Referee,
company E; linesman, Reardon, COM
pany E.
The game between the Crescent
team and the second eleven of the
Fort will come off on the Fort Doug
las grounds a week from Saturday,
November 80.
Negotiations are in progress for a
game with the High school on the Fort
grounds tomorrow afternoon. The Sec
ond eleven challenges any 145-pound
team in the territory.
Lieutenant Simmons, of the Six
teenth infantry, has been engaged as
coacher by the All Hallows team, the
arrangement being made after the
game yesterday. This was a surprise
to many, as no one knew Lieutenant
Simmons was a ball player.

given that the ordinances were in no

Mr.. Young declined to outline his re-
port and it will be ready for publica-
ton within a few days.

ooh, for some kind friend to suggest
menus within my means for a dainty,
appetizing Thanksgiving dinnerP' signs
the economical little housewife who is
obliged to live on a limited allowance,
perhaps cannot even afford a. maid Of
all work. Besides cooking the meals
she must see that they are served in a
tempting manner. so that tired, over
worked James will thoroughly enjoy
his we'll seasoned steak and potatoes
and not remark how much better they
are to be had at a chophouse or res
taurant.
Here, then, are some simple, inex-
pensive menus for just such a. busy
woman, which are calculated to pro-
duce good cheer and grateful spirit
on this near approaching day OF
thanks If one wishes to go from oys-
tiers to Walnuts'' on a, Thanksgiving
day feast he can do it with compare
lively small expense.
Little neck clans, being cheaper than
oysters, will do for the first course,
served in the half shell. Then a cream
tomato soup is good and economical.
For the third course have roast tur-
key, small white onions, boiled and
served with drawn butter, mashed po-
tatoeS and baked sweet ones, and the
inevitable cranberry sauce or jelly For
relishes home made pickles and sailed
peanuts, instead of almonds. being
much less expensive and considered by
some quite as good, celery and olives,
celery salad, with mayonnaise, or
plain lettuce salad with French dres-
sing will do. Next come a. home made
mInce pie, nuts, raisins, fruit and cof-
fee
Here is still another simple menu for
such an occasion:
Oysters on the half shell. Cream Of
celery soup. Roast turkey with chest
nut stuffing. Potatoes mashed and
formed in cones, then brushed over
with beaten eggs and piled in the oven
to brown. Boiled caulifloWer with
cream sauce and celery. French canned
string beans, put in the ice chest I'M
til they have become very cold, then
drained and tossed in French dressing,
make a delicate and delicious salad
A boiled home made plum pudding
with wine sauce, a pumpkin pie, nuts,
raisins and coffee are a pleasant fin
ish to this modest feast.

An Italian newspaper is responsible
for the following tale of a thief's
shrewdness: A certain lazzarone once
came to confess himself to a mission
airy priest who was confined to his bed
with the govt, with the intention of
stealing pair of new shoes which he
had seen under the good fathers bed.
The priest having called him up to the
bed, as he could not rise, the man
knelt down, and while reciting the con-
fiteor he got hold of the shoes and put
them into the wallet which he had I'M

confiteor, the first and last sin which
he confessed was that of having sto-
len a pair of shoes. The confessor re-
piled: ''Ah, my son, you ought to re-

Father, do you want them?" NO"

ought to be restored to the rightful
owner; otherwise 1 cannot give you

him absolution, he dismissed him, and
