The management of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul has issued orders to
conductors that if carried out will corral
the trainhog into one seat. A most de-
sirable improvement, especially on
crowded trains. Everybody who has
ever travelled any has met this genus
homo, who loaded up everything within
reach with his yalise and sundry belong
ings and then seated himself in the
midst, 0blivi0us to the fact that there
were old people, ladies or children stand
ing up, for lack of unoccupied seats. Such
fellows ought to be obliged to do their
travelling on the hog train.
The Wisconsin Central railway is ex-
perimenting with Oil as a locomotive
fuel to see if it will not be cheaper than
coal. Three engines have been fitted
with tanks and oil burners and are at
work, and the experiment is said to be
proving satisfactory. The idea was sug-
gested to the officials by the work OF the
Southern Pacific and Sante Fe, the for
mer road having calculated that by burn
ing oil saving of $4,0OO,000 a year
can be made. One thing to be reck-
Oned with is that those c0mpanys have
extensive oil fields on their lines and
thus save the freight haul on the
fuel. Enginemen would welcome oil as
most of them believe that it is a simpler
and cleaner fuel and would be smOkeless
if treated right.

On Wednesday evening, Dr. Henry Cole

dist church to a good sized audience. The

DR.. Coleman deals telling blows upon
the liquor trtfiac, and with kind, persua-
sive and Christian spirit seeks to lead the
unfortunate addicted to drink from his
ruinious way, and with the same spirit

At the COncOrdia Opera house will be
found an ideal type of the thrilling and
sensational mel0dramatic art in "The
Convicts Daughter" 1t is said to be
original in conception, plot and develop
ment, and is described as high grade
melOdrama and a great scenic produc-
ti0n containing those elements that al
ways insured, success, realism, love, pass
ion, comedy, heroisln and self-sacrifcing
devotion. The ar,hOr, j. A. Fraiser, Jr.,
has construct his five act play on origin
al lines, avoiding the old worn out love
story and in this and other respects it is
a radical departure from the well beaten
path Of molodramatic productions. He
has given to the stage play that appeals
in many ways to the hearts and minds OF
all theatre goers who delight in sensa
tiOns and scenes of startling realism.
