THE NATURAL INCREASE.
Mankaio's Gain by Berths Over Deaths
In Five Years is Over 900.

President Shoemaker, of the board
of trade, has been looking up the
figures and finds that the gain of popu-
lation of the city by births over deaths
dur ing the past five years has been
over 6OO Alleged omissions of the
en- umerators are constantly coming to
light and the need for a recount is
more and more apparent.
One of the enumerators started out
under the belief that children under
ten years were not counted, and it is
said to have taken considerable argu-
ment to have convinced him other
wise.

Mr.. Fred Fl. Esterly, of $50 Poplar
St., of the firm of Green, Esterly &
Hill, boiler makers, says: II have
never had downright attack of sick
ness, and with the exception of Doan S
Kidney Pills never took any medi-
cine. had very bad back, it made
me groan to rise from chair, hurt me
when lifting anything, and any sud-
den movement like turning in bed,
brought on sharp pains through my
kidneys. l read about Doan Kidney
Pills and my wife went to J. G. Thro' S
and got box. I used less than one
box, but the lameness in the lumbar
muscles disappeared and the backache
was banished. 1 consider Doan's Kid
ney Pills good remedy for the kid
neys.

necessary to take eight or ten stitches.

We are informed that there is a
rank growth of Russian thistles in
North Mankato, coming almost to the
bridge. A Belgrade farmer who was
in town yesterday stated that these
should be cut or they will soon go to
seed and will be spreading over the
land. The village authorities should
see to it that these thistles are cut,
as they are great nuisance when al
lowed to spread. When they get on
farm land horses cannot be driven
through them unless their legs are
protected from the thorns by leather
stockings.
Several radical changes have been
made in the operation department of
the Omaha road, which went into
effect Sunday The division between

have been consolidated and will
hereafter be known as the Wisconsin
division, and the appointment of W.
G. Winter as superintendent of this
division has been announced, with
William Bennett as assistant superin-
tendent The old ST. Paul & Sioux
City division, between Minneapolis
and Sioux City, will hereafter be
known as the Minnesota & Iowa divi-
sion, and the appointment of L. F.
Shaker as superintendent, with T. W.
Kennedy as assistant has been an
nounced. Mr.. Winters headquarters
will be moved from Iasca, Wis, to ST.
Paul, and Mr.. Shakers from ST. Paul
to st. James, MINI. Messrs
Stacker, Winter, Kennedy and Bennett
are all young men and know their
business thoroughly and are deserving
of the promotions. They have worked
up from the ranks on the Omaha road
and are good types of up-to-date,
clever railroad men.

This and That.

The New York, Ontario and Western
Railroad company has begun the work
all along the line of tearing down old
railroad bridges and replacing them
with durable, solid steel trestling work.
The work Is in full blast now, and will
be continued for several months yet.
Engine No. 1916 was turned out of the
Dickson Locomotive works, on Cliff
street, for the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad company, yesterday. This Is
the seventh of the order of ten engines
upon which work was begun during
September.
The repair shops in the Delaware.
Lacl1awnnna and Western yards are at
last getting a somewhat needed rest
and the number of crippled engines
which are being at present attended to
is far smaller than has been under the
Lackawanna mechanics care in many
months.
Numerous committees of employees
from the various Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western collieries have called
mt the office of Superintendent OF tho
Coal Department Loomis voicing the
requests of their fellow workers for
the semi-monthly pay day. This has
been taken into consideration by the
Lackawanna authorities and several
conferences have been held on the sub
ject. Some action is expected to be
taken in the near future.

gagged in the construction of railroad
bridges for the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, New York Ontario and
Western and Central Railroad of New
Jersey companies.
A bridge at Baldwinsville n. Y, is
now being given the finishing touches.
1t was built for the Lackawanna, and
extends across the Seneca river. 1t con-
sists of five piers over which is a bridge
for a single track railroad.
The Willow Point bridge, located IL
short distance above Binghamton, n.
Y, is another splendid piece of work
recently completed. Eight piers We're
sunk, about $50 yards of masonry being
used in the construction of each. Over
the piers, the company itself is build
ing an iron bridge. The structure ex-
tends over the Susquehanna river and
is one Of the finest railroad bridges in
New York state. Burke Brothers start
ed work on it in May, and accom-
plished excellent results in very quick
time. 1t is six hundred feet in length
Three weeks ago work on a bridge
was started, for the New York. Ontario
and Western railroad, at Liberty Falls,

point at present, but this IL To he torn

Orders for Trainmen.

Lackawanna enginemen have been
notified that whereas some enginemen
are careless about not having the head
lights on their engines lighted when
running after sunset or when obscured
by fog or other cause, they will now
be held responsible for failure to COM
ply with this rule.
Yardmasters and conductors Of the
Lackawanna are asked to see to it that
the doors of all empty box cars are
kept closed while in transit. They are
also notified that some trainmen are
getting careless about sealing the cars
and are handling in their trains mer-
chandise cars not properly sealed
These are left at the end Of the run in
this condition, and bulletin order now
announces that the conductors are to
strictly see to it that all cars which
permit of sealing are properly sealed.
