THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL.
Fate Of Clifford Brennon Who Stole
So Cents.

Clifford Brennon, the boy who robbed the
postoffice at Goodland, Kansas, last sum-
mer. has been sentenced to 80 days I'M I'M;
prisonment in the Shawnee county jail
instead of being sent to a. reform school.
When the boy was brought before Judge
Hook to be sentenced, Assistant United
States District Attorney II. J. Bone was
present and suggested that the boy be al
lowed to plead to a single one of the
counts in the charge against him, and the
rest be dismissed. The boy had already
pleaded guilty to the charge Of burglariz-
Ing the postoffice. which is penitentiary
offense.
John Waters was representing young
Brennon and at his suggestion Brennon
Withdrew his plea of guilty of burglary
and pleaded guilty simply to the charge
of stealing IS cents. Mr.. Bone dismissed
the other charges, which allowed the
judge to give the boy simply jail sent
ence. Mr. Bone further recommended that
Brennon be given the minimum sentence
thirty days-as he had already been in
Jail since last October, and Judge Hook
acted on the recommendation

B. & o. Leads Of With a Substantial

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb15.-The Pittsburg

1t was learned last night from sources
which are considered reliable that the
officials of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road would in a few days announce a
substantial increase in the wages of all
engineers employed throughout the en-
tire system.
The schedule is expected to go into eff
feet March l and the wages of about g.
600 men will be affected by it. 1t is I'M
derstood that in addition to the advance
in rate per hour other concessions have
been granted, relating to over time and

schedule more comprehensive in it's eff
fects than the rate advance will indi-

WARM THE AIR.
Use of a Stove on a Compressed Air
LOGON olive.


An innovation in the way of a stove
has been put on one end of the midget
compressed air switch engine which is
jest being completed at the Santa F'e
shops, and which is to be used for
switching purposes in the shop yards.
The stove is not to keep the engineer
OF the midget warm, but is to warm up
the compressed air before it is allowed
to enter the cylinders.
This stove is placed near to the en-
gineer's seat, and is constructed with
a coil of pipes running through it.
Through this pipe the compressed air
flows from the reservoir on it's way to
the cylinders. By means of the fire
which is built in the stove the air is
warmed and made to expand, thus Civ
ing extra volume as well as extra power
to it. The stove is also to keep the
moisture in the air from freezing in the
winter time. The midget will be com
pleted some time this week, and will be
put to work Immediately.

Some people have often wondered Why
it is that the rear end of the tank on a
back, instead of being high and square,
the same as are in use on the locomo-
uves, which are in the road service. Like
good reason for this, and although it
makes the tank smaller to have it sloped
to the rear, and consequently lessons its
capacity, yet it gives the fireman and en-
gineer an opportunity, while switching, of
seeing what is going on behind the en-
CINE. By having the tank slOping to the
rear. it gives them a chance to watch
the rear, and properly handle the engine.

CANADIANS TO RETALIATE.
Abolition of Wood Pulp Shipments

New York. Feb. 15.-The Grand Trunk
railway officials have confirmed the an
nouncement from Montreal of the aboli-
ton of pulp wood shipments to the United
States. This move. it is said, contemplates
the shutting off of American pulp mills
from the Canadian raw material supply.
The result, it is said, will be a rise in
the price of paper.
It Is said that Canadians want to force
American manufacturers to draw upon
their own supplies, SO that Canada would
be in a position to charge an export duty
upon paper in retaliation for the import
duties now charged by the United States

the private residences Of Lincoln are
neither decorative nor appropriate,
