ENGINEER RUNS TOO FAST.
Rock Island Doesn't Want to Risk
DANCER by Phenomenal Speed.

Some times an engineer makes a lit
tie better time than his superiors think
wise. When train is behind hand and
the engineer makes up the time be
tween stations he is patted on the
back and called a good runner but
sometimes he is called reckless.
Not long ago well known engineer on
the Rock Island was As minutes late
out of Mcfarland. The word was re-
ceived in Topeka that the train was an
hour late and those waiting for the
train were informed that it would not
be in for 40 minutes. That seemed safe
enough. But to their wonder the train
came into the station in 80 minutes.
The run from Mcfarland to Topeka, a
distance Of SO miles has a schedule
running time of one hour and five min
utes.
The next day the engineer was called up
on the carpet" He was told it was
too fast. The track follows the Kan
sas river and is about as crooked as
the trail of a snake

DEPOSITS OF COBALT.
Great Beds of Ore, Worth More Than
Gold, Uncovered at Grand En-
campment, Wyo.

Denver, Feb 23.-Cobalt is better
than gold A cobalt mine is more de-
sirable than the richest golden bOnan-
"a of all the Rocky Mountains, and CO.
bait has been discovered at Grand En-
campment, Wy, by the French miner
alogist, Charles Poulot. 1t is the first
discovery of cobalt in America. Cobalt
is worth $1.6O a pound, and George
Doane, the copper king of the Grand
Encampment district, has a mine where
thousands of tons of this ore are al
ready in sight. Cobalt is the active
principle that cOlors blue all porcelain
and glass and from it the worlds
great churches and cathedra1S receive
their delicate shading of blue in their
arched windows and dOmes. 1t is the
active principle of blue in oil and water
painting 1t is one of the rarest min
erals; Norway, Sweden, and Bohemia
have in the past furnished the bulk of
the worlds supply.
The DOane mine is a copper mine,
and. in addition to it's copper value,
which is 20 per cent pure, its ore yields
SIPS to the ton in cobalt. This is only
one among hundreds of copper mines
at Grand Encampment, and if they all
contain cobalt, WyOming's new mining
district within a year may be prOduc-
ing more wealth than any three min
ing districts in the world, not except
ing Klondike, the Transvaal, and Grip
pie Creek. Cripple Creek, COlorado'S
golden wonder last year added to the
worlds treasure of gold more than
S12 OOO. 600. If cobalt exists in the
Grand Encampment copper ore to the
extent that NJ. POulOt asserts from his
chemical analysis of the Doane ore.
Grand Encampment will add to mineral
wealth of the world 500, 900 900 annually
or else the price of cobalt will be re-
duced to a minimum.

MODIFIED THE BOYCOTT.
Rock Island and the Santa Fe Hold a
Milder Position Towards the P. & G.

Kansas City, Feb. 23-The Rock Is
land yesterday modified it's notice of
boycott on the Pittsburg & Gulf to
make the withdrawal of freight divis-
ions with the Gulf lines applicable only
to Texas business.
The original notice of the Rock Is
land was for the withdrawal of all
freight divisions and its amendment to
exclude from the notice all divisions
outside of Texas business indicates that
the promised boycott by the western
joint traffic bureau lines has been aban-
doned.
Only the Santa Fe now remains pre-
sumably in the position of withdrawing
all divisions with the Gulf road. The
Santa Fe has already announced the
cancellation of its notice, but this can
collation. is believed to have been die
tated by the legal department of the
road and made in compliance with the
recent order of Judge Phillips of the
United States court, restraining the
Santa Fe from making it's boycott eff
fective. It is not thought to have any
thing to do with the policy of the traf-
fic department of the road except in so
far as it must be governed by the le-
gal phases of the case.

OF INTEREST TO PASSENGERS.
What a Passenger Should Do to
Avoid Personal Damages.

In Kentucky a passenger who sits by
an open window with knowledge OF the
fact that sparks and cinderS are enter
ing the window, cannot recover for IN
1uries resulting therefrOm on the ground
that the company was negligent in al
lowing the window to be out OF repair,
so that it could not be closed, II ne
knew, or by the exercise OF reasonable
care could have known, that there were
unOccupied seats with windows IN or
der.
In Michigan a person who does not
see an approaching train, ordinarily
visible for a sufficient distance. in time
to escape collision with it, because the
sun is in his eyes, is not excused from
taking other reasonable precautions to
avoid the accident. AS in the case of
any other obstruction to sight, It IS his
duty to stop and listen before attempt
ing to cross. Accordingly, it is held
that an action for personal injuries
arising under these circumstances can
not be successfully maintained.
In an action decided in Texas,
brought to recover damages for person
al injuries, it appeared that the plain
tiff had caught a train on defendant
railroad just as it was leaving a sta
tion, getting on board between the bag
gage car and the tender because he mad
no time to get on elsewhere, the train
being in rapid motion. He had no tick
ct, but was prepared to pay his fare
and intended to pay it. The fireman
began to throw hot water upon him and
continued to do so until he jumped off,
breaking his leg 1t is held that he
merely stood in the relation of a tres
passer to the company and was not en-
titled to the privileges and protection
due to a passenger, there being no con-
tract expressed or implied constituting
him passenger.
In an action decided in South Caro-
lima in which the circumstances were
practically the same as those proved on
the trial of the case noted in the last
paragraph, except that the plaintiff had
a ticket, the court holds that the ques-
tion whether he was a trespasser or a
passenger was for the jury to decide.
The fact that he boarded the train at
place where passengers were not usual
" receive did not per Sc make him a
trespasser. The court further holds,
as a matter of law. that he was enti-
tied to the rights of a passenger, at least
so far that the employees of the defend
ant were bound to refrain from violence
toward him.
In Rhode Island it is declared not to
be negligence, furnishing ground on
which action by one injured there
by can be maintained, where a railroad
fails to remove spindles from the draw
bars of cars when inspecting them, I'M
less such a method of inspection is
proved to be customary or to be con-
sidered essential to satisfy by prudent
men engaged in the operation OF trains.

ALKALI IN KANSAS WATER.
What an Eastern Temperance Lee
turer Got in His Drinks.

A temperance lecturer from Boston
was travelling westward over the Santa
Fe and whenever he met any OF the
other passengers he soon commenced to
talk temperance.
Soon after leaving Kansas City the
lecturer fell in with a resident of west
ern Kansas.
This is Kansas" remarked the ma
tive of the land of sunny skies.
so we have left the clutches of the
liquor men and are now travelling in a
civilized state where prohibition is in
force" said the lecturer.

to promote total abstinence.

When Topeka was reached the Kan
sas man said he would get off and get
some genuine Kansas water The
Kansas man got off and as soon as he
left the seat with the man who Ionged
only for mild drinks, his mind wandered
TO thoughts of treason against the UNI

PASSENGER CAR BURNED UP.
Midland Suffered Loss of $4,000 in
Leadville.

Leadvil1e, Colo, Feb. 23.-Late this
afternoon fire was discovered in one of
the big passenger coaches lying in the
Colorado Midland yard. The car burned
like paper, the woodwork being entirely
destroyed.
A combination mail and baggage
coach which was attached to the pas
senger car was also damaged before it
could be uncoupled. All that remains
are the trucks of the passenger coach.
The supposition is that some one acct
dentally dropped a match or lighted
cigar in a seat. The loss is estimated
unoficially at about s., 600 for the pas
-senger coach and a few hundred dol
lars damage on the baggage car.

NEW SANTA FE DEVICE
For Loading Empty Coal Cars With
Cinders.

The Santa Fe is trying new device
for loading empty coal cars with Gin
ders.
When the coal cars on the chute are
emptied of coal it is convenient to load
them with the cinders dumped by en-
gines cOaling and to carry them away.
The chute stands 20 feet high and
some way of conveying the cinders to.

hopper has been placed on one side of
the chute with a pipe about eight inch

means of compressed air The new

BROUGHT BACK FROM TIE Crave.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St, IndianapO-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept IL a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian. Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
