lines in the city except the Suburban,
has announced that no attempt will
be made to run cars to-day. unless
ample police protection is afforded,
Baumhoff says the company has plenty
of men, willing to take out the cars,
but does not feel it will be right to
risk their lives while the present con-
dition Of lawlessness continues. Chief
Of Police Campbell declares that the
force under him Is too small to handle
the situation properly. but II the com
panies would select one main line TO
operate he would see that the cars
were run without molestation.
Almost every line OF business is suf-
fering as result of the strike. The
places OF amusement were almost de-
serted last night. 1t has been decided
to postpone the scheduled National
League base ball games until after the
trouble il over. The house of delegates
has adopted a resolution declaring that
the franchises OF the st. Louis Transit
company will be revoked in every in
stance where the company fails to run
its cars in strict compliance with the
provisions of the ordinances under
which the franchises were granted.

ly laid over a day or two. There he
met one Of those fallen angels" OF the
opposite sex, that soon caused him to
neglect his happy little home in Albu-
querque. His case was reported to the
railroad officials. and he soon lost their
good will and his position on the road,
lie was compelled to leave for other
parts and look for Job. Taking his
paramour with him he reached Ell
Paso, where he passed her off as his
wife.
In the meantime his little wife In this
city was washing and sewing to sup
port herself and two small children.
At Ell Paso Myers succeeded In max
ing friends OF several members OF the
railroad lodge, who proposed that a
donation OF money be made to help
a brother member and his wife" along
At the meeting held for that purpose
there was one member who knew
Myers real character and exposed him
then and there as a fraud and a rascal.

say the donation was not made. and

Three gallons of coal oil goes as far in one of our Belgium lamps as five gal Ions does in a Rochester, and at the same time gives one-fifth more light. All this means the saving of the price of a lamp in one year, besides better light. We have a large line of these lamps at prices ranging from $4, com plete with shade, to $S.5O.
