Germany's Proposed New Emigra-
tiop Law Offensive

The New Orleans Daily Picayune
dwells upon the proposed German
new emigration law, the chief priu-
ciple of which is that "once Ger
man subject, always German sub
ject," and goes on to say:
"This would prevent German sub
jects from becoming naturalized
subjects or citizens of any foreign
power. Such measure could not
fail to bring about, sooner or later,
disagreeable clashes between this
country and Germany. According
to American law and custom, a
naturalized citizen is. entitled to all
the same rights and protection
which are assured to Americans by
birth. Germany's idea is, of course,
to encourage the emigration Of her
surplus population, but at the same
time retain the allegiance of these
emigrants and be able to draw upon
them as available military material" J"

CATTLE THIEVES AT WORK
A Gang Steals Several Hundred DOL
lars Worth In Harper County.

Harper, Aug. 29.-During the past
two weeks cattle thieves have been at
work in this part of Harper county.
Word has reached this city that quite
a number of persons have been losing
cattle from some unknown cause, but
supposed they were stolen, when sew
eral missing head were found to be sold
to several different parties.
Their method of stealing appears to
be, is that they load two or three into
wagons and sell them to the first per-
son wishing to buy. When sold they
commence again stealing at the first
bunch of cattle they come to. Calves
or young stock are most generally
taken, but in every case unmarked
stock is taken. Among those who have
been unfortunate in this respect are
Aller boys of Pilot Knob township,
head; B. f. Blubaugh of Harper town
ship, 8 head; Mr.. Cochran of Banner
township, 2 head; Ellis Miller, 2 head,
and several others. AS far as known
over $500 worth of cattle has been stolen
within a radius of twenty miles of Har-
per. Undoubtedly it is an organized
gang at present working in this COM
munity.
The AlIer boys found one of their
calves at VIM. Johnson's, a cattleman
west of Attica, and the other two head
had been shipped to market by Mr..
Johnson. The thieves told Mr. Johnson
that they had secured the stock in pay
ment of harvest work and were on
their way to their home in the Strip.

REPATRINa sWITcH LAMps.
Santa Fe Has a Force at Work Chang
ing the Lights on the Entire
System.

For the past six months the timers
of the Santa F'e shops or rather four of
them have been continuously working
on one job, and which will take as
many more months to finish. This job
is the repairing and changing of the
signal and switch lights over the en-
tire Santa Fe system.
A little less than year ago a new
system of inspection of the lights went
into effect on the road Up to that
time not much special attention had
measurements and careful inspection
of some of the lamps that many of
them were out of focus, and were not
giving the brilliancy and proper re-
suits which should be gotten out of
them. AS a result of this finding all
the lamps are now being gone over and
such changes made in them as are
necessary for the best results.
The manner of procedure is as fol-
lows: The old lamps are sent to the
shops, and dipped into a hot solution of
1ye, which removes every bit of grease
and paint and they come out of their
I've bath, apparently new. A quick
plunge of them into q hot water bath
then serves to clean off all remaining
particles of dirt after which they are
ready for the timer In the tin shop
they are taken apart and the refocus-
ing of the lamps, by setting the lenses
nearer or farther away from the fame,
according to the needs of the style of
lamp being repaired is accomplished.
The lamps are now numbered, by a
copper number being soldered on to the
base of the lamp. after which they are
sent to the painting room where they
are treated to a coat of black paint.
This completes the lamp. But before
they are sent out for use they are test
ed, to find out that they will resist the
action of the wind. To properly do this
a room has been fitted up with a blow
ing apparatus, using compressed air,
where the lamps may be submitted to
an imprOvised wind storm of from 60 TO
80 miles an hour velocity. If they stand
this last test then they are sent out to
the different parts of the road as need
ed, their numbers being taken before
hand and recorded so as to keep tab
on the lamps.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Rock Island Road Adopts a
Smoke Consumer
For Their Engines Which Is q
Success.
DEVICE WELL TESTED
On the Colorado Flyer and Re-
suits Pleasing.
Is a Saving In Fuel-Manner
of Procedure.
DEVICE WELL TESTED

The Rock Island railroad has estab-
lished a precedent in the west by
equipping their engines with smoke
consumers, which entire do away
with the heavy volume of black
smoke which is so disagreeable to pas
sengers. This experiment has been
thoroughly tested during the past few
months. on their Colorado Flyer, and
has proved to be such a success that
the Rock Island has adopted it over it's
entire system and as soon as possible,
all their engines will be equipped with
this new device and Immediately be put
back into service.
This smokeless firing, as it is prop
erly called, will be valuable to both the
patron and the road. To the patron,
it does away with the black Sooty
to the pleasure of travelling; and to
the road, it is a saving in fuel as well
as making the appearance and equip
ment of the train up to date. The good
results from this new equipment are
unlimited and everything is favorable
and for the best interests of all. To
make this snokeless firing a success,
two things are necessary; the equip
ment of the engine with the proper ap-
paratuS necessary to consume the hy
drOcarbons, thrown off from the coal,
and the thorough training of the engi-
neer and fireman in the manner of fir
ing and the best methods of proceeding
at all times in order to obtain the de-
sired results.
The manner of equipment is briefly as
follows: In the fire box of the engine,
is built a hollow brick arch. Below
this and about foot above the CRATES
are bored four holes in the sides of the
fire box. In each of these holes is in
serted a Sharp's patent DETECTING air
tube. connecting with the hollow arch.
Through these tubes the outside air is
drawn in and after being heated, is
allowed to mix with the unconsumed
gases or hydrocarbons. BY this mixing
the gases are transferred into a per-
feet state of combustion and in this
state they are consumed, and thor
oughly disposed Of thus preventing
them from being forced out into the air
as is the case today on nearly every
railroad in tine United States.
AssistanS General Manager W. I. AL
lena and Superintendent of Motive
Power C. T. Wilson of the Rock Island,
express themselves as more than
pleased with the results of this new
move on the part of the road.

The reason that they are not pun

get caught at it,
