TICKET SCALPING.
Railroad Officials VIII Again Try 10
Drive the Brokers Out of Business.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Chairmen of all
the passenger associations in the
United States held a conference here
Wednesday for the purpose of or
ganiZing from their own membership
a protective association for the pre-
vention of frauds of all kinds upon
the passenger departments of the
roads.
The efforts of the new association
will be directed especially against
manipulations of tickets by scalpers
in such IA way as to deprive the roads
of a large amount of revenue. All
efforts heretofore made to suppress
ticket scalping have proved fruitless
and all hope of prevailing upon con-
gress to pass an anti-ticlet scalping
law has practically been abandoned.
1t was therefore deemed necessary,
in order to drive the ticket scalpers
out of the market, to unite all the
passenger associations in the work.
The new association of chairmen
will undertake the enforcement of
the various state laws prohibiting
ticket scalping and will investigate
all cases of alteration of tickets, for
gerry of signatures, alteration of des-
tination. etc

A PROGRESSIVE MEASURE
Au Increased Army Il Necessary TO
Protect Our Growing
Nation.

The army bill, passed by such de-
cisive vote through the national SEN
ate, has been in some quarters de-
and Caesarism. The people of the
United States do not share this view.
Counting the paired votes in favor of
the bill with those actually recorded
for it. it is seen that 80 out of 45 states
supported the measure. There was
nothing sectional about the vote.
Kentucky's two votes and one each
from Maryland, the two Carolinas,
Alabama and Mississippi helped its
passage. California gave it two votes,
rs did also Oregon.
The bill provides for what is merely

Full of yea! to earn his mileage.
Towne, tail-ender, tan and taky,
Opened all his vocal fiood.ates,
Churned hims elf into fever,
Shook his little bag of birthstone,
Pointed with a scornful finger
AT the countrys ''lust for slaughter"
At the man within the white house,
At the whole gum-dasted business
From the battle of Manila
To the Philippine commission.
And he thundered and he snorted,
And he snorted and he thundered,
Sang fortissimo his swan song,
Beloved ii in mighty volume.
Split the ear drums of the groundlings,
Ramped and roared and whooped regard

Till the pale, affrighted hearers
Shook and shivered to their marrows,
And in agitated whispers
ASKED the question: "Why in thunder
Can't he stop? He's earned his mileage!"
Then the fiery, untamed statesman,
Minnesota's Boanerges,
Champion of Aguinaldo.
Rooter for the Filipinos,
Howling dervish of the Aunties.

Vocalist of noneXpansion,

From Duluth, the Zenith City,
City of the seas unsalted.
Feeling his last hour approaching,
Beloved out his peroration,
Lifted up his voice and SHOUTED,
Sounded forth his solemn warning,
Gave the world his farewell message,
| Laid aside his misfit toga,
| Wiped his chin, pulled down his waistcoat,
| And made way for his successor.

BLOWN TO PIECES.
An Explosion Of Dynamite In a Mex
lean silver Mine Causes the Death
of 81 People.

Chihuahua, Mex, Feb. Sword has
just reached here Of one of the most
terrible mining disasters that ever
occurred in Mexico. An explosion
in the San Andras mine, situated in a
remote locality of the Sierra Madre
mountains, in the western part of the
state of Durango, caused the death
of 81 men, women and children and
injured many others. The catastro-
phe was due to the explosion of sew
eral cases of dynamite which We're
stored underground. Electric wires
connecting with the hoisting ma
chinery passed through the room in
which the dynamite was stored and
it is supposed that these wires be-
came crossed, causing a fire which
set off the dynamite.
All of the killed and injured were
located on the surface, most of them
occupying residences Immediately
above the underground workings of
the mine. The explosion tore away
the whole top of the mountain on
which the village of miners was To-
Gated and men, women and children
were blown into small pieces. Among
those who were killed was Herman
Leutsman, the superintendent of the
mine and all the members of his fam
lily. But few of the mangled re-
mains were recognizable.

S, the New York and Chicago limited

Thursday morning within the town

when taken from the wreck, several
are missing and there are many bad

Hardly a passenger escaped with
out some injury. The ill-fated train
was composed of vestibuled Pullmans,
three sleepers, a day coach, smoker
and baggage car and mail car, and
was drawn by one of the new en-
gines. 1T was in the smoking com
partment that death laid a ruthless
hand, for there not one of the 16
occupants escaped without being
pletely telescoped by the steel mail
car ahead, which went through it as
If it were paper, tearing, crushing,
manning and carrying death.

sharp curve. On one side, 40 feet
below, flows the Shenango river, on
the other side a steep bluff. The
engine left the track at the curve and
before it had gone two car lengths
plowed into the steep hill, where it
fell upon its side and was half buried.
The scenes inside the telescoped
cars were terrible. Men begged to
be released and screamed in agony.
The injured We're placed on a special
train and taken to the Spencer hos
pital, Meadville.
Very little was left of the baggage
or express matter in the cars and
most of it was dumped into the river
in order to clear the debris for res
cue. Several hundred sacks of mail
were apparently little injured.
A remarkable act of fortitude was
exhibited by B. A. Marsden, of Phila-
delphia, who, pinned in the smoker
by a beam, his foot and chest
crushed, his face spattered with the
brains of one of the soldiers, insist
ed on the rescuers releasing an un-
fortunate jew nearby. Marsden's
wounds are considered fatal.

WITH VELVET WEED.
An Iowan Finds n Way 10 Beat the
Irvine Combine.

Creston, Ia, Feb. 7.-State Senator
Clark, of Page county, has made pub
lie way to beat the twine combine.
At farmers institute he displayed
a piece of twine and a piece of rope
resembling good quantity of hemp.
These he explained were made from
velvet weed, which grows rank on al
most every farm and has been consid-
cred useless weed. The discovery
that the weed could thus be utilized
was made by ID. ID. Weir, a farmer
living near Clarinda. Mr.. Weir dis
covered the strength of the fiber of
the weed about two months ago. He
picked up few strands from the
ground after they had lain there
rotting since last summer and found
them very strong. They were sep
arated into strands as fine as the
best of hemp. He endeavored to Sc
cure a patent, but found that a dis
covery of that nature could not be
patented. \ machine for making it
could be patented, but the use of the
weed for making twine and rope
must be left free to everybody.

taken upon it. 1t resulted in favor

AN ANTl-DRUG CRUSADE.
Women Who Believe in Faith Cure
Attack the Stores Of Chicago Phar.
maciGfa


macists.
Chicago, Feb. 7.-Crying out that
drugs were the agents of the devil, q
half dozen women followers of
Dowie, the faith cure leader, adopted
the tactics of Mrs. Carrie Nation yes
terday and wrecked a number of
drug stores on the West Side. In
some instances there were hand-to-
hand fights with the druggists.
Armed as they were with pitch
forks, umbrellas and canes, the wo-
men came out the victors in nearly
every encounter and succeeded in
destroying property wherever they
went.
The women went in well organ
lied band, were of middle age and
well dressed. Most of them wore
automobile coats, under which they
concealed their implements of de-
struction while on the street. On
leaving a drug store they invaria bly,
sang praise be the Loru" or Zion
Forever" Policemen saw them, but
attached no significance to their ac-
tions and no arrests were made.
The first place visited was Charles
G. Foucek's drug store, at Eighteenth
street and Center avenue. Calling
the proprietor to the front of the
store the crusaders upbraided him
for dealing in traffics of the devil.
Then one of the women, who seemed
to be a leader, asked Don't you
know that all the ills of humankind
can be cured by prayer
81 am not aware of the fact, if
such is the case" said the druggist.
"Hurrah for Dowie," shouted the
women. At that her companions
drew canes and umbrellas from be-
meath their long cloaks and began to
strike at the druggists head. He
lodged the blows and took refuge
behind the prescription case. Then
the women turned their attention to
the shelves and showcases and began
to strike right and left. The besieg-
ers were finally dispersed by the
clerks of the store, who armed them
selves with buckets of water which
they dispensed freely among the wo-
men.
Four other drug stores in the
neighborhood, belonging to b. Low
enthal, Leo l.. Mrazek, Herman Linn
erman and o. Shapiro, were also
wrecked by the crusaders and the
same tactics used. The women final
