SAGE SCENTS DANGER.
Says the Northern Pacific Settlement
May Make Trouble.

New York, Nov. 16.-Russell Sage
was quoted as seeming danger in the
railroad combination growing out of
the Northern Pacific settlement. Here
is what he was quoted as saying: 1.-The
danger lies in the effect it will have
upon weaker lines 1t will compel them
to struggle harder than ever to get
along, and one of the weapons in the
possession of the weak lines is an ap-
peal to the state legislature.
1.-The roads in the combination run
through nineteen different states and
territories and the promoters of it have
to look out for adverse legislation from
any or all of these state governments.
If this combination is not conducted
conservatively the next thing will be
great public excitement in various
states. A combina ton of this sort throt-
ties competition and the people don't
like it. The man at the head of it will
have to be most careful and conserva-
tive to avoid the dangers have pointed
out"
Mr.. Sage. by the way. was again re-
ported dead today in Wall street. The
original false report was to the effect
that Secretary Gage was seriously i'll,
and later, apparently through similarity
of name, Mr.. Sage was reported i'll and
still later dead Mr. Sage was as well
as ever.

the tags and bobtails of the cotton and

There are two kinds of waste, one va
riety known as wool waste is used to
waste the boxes of car and engine
wheels. The difference is that one is
the refuse of wooden and the other of
cotton goods. The cotton is used prin

houses, in removing the grease and dirt
from engines which have been out on

Oklahoma City May Get Shops.

It is rumored at Oklahoma City that
the Frisco will soon begin the erection
of shops and sheds for its passenger
trains and roundhouse for the engines
al that point The Frisco has no shops
this side of Springfield. Mo, and for
this reason there is a possibility for
some ground for the rumor. The build
ing of shops and sheds and a round
house at Oklahoma City would be the
means of the employment of army
of men at the beginning. Not only that
but it would bring ore trains, more
crews and cause a much larger pay
roll.
