On the following day it fell to Muir

The silence seemed to be not merely
the absence of sound, but rather
something positive and material that
Dcrvaded and possessed the whole
building from its sepulchral crypt
it's glorious dome. The few lights
here and there served only to make
the darkness visible. and TO prompt
he imagination as it bodied forth the
forms of things unseen.
Inevitably Murphy's thoughts were

into immortality. and of the scenes OF

upon a cornet. The notes did not
come from a distance, but seemed TO

leading spirit in the escape, despite
his voluble prOtestatiOns that he
would not try to escape again. AS he
has all the earmarks of thorough
crook, and since his incarceration in
the Jail has at all times been a dis
turbing spirit it was decided to take
no chances with him, but as far as
possible to make repetition of his
escape an impossibility
After they left the Jail the men
made their way to the foothills west
of town. headed for Browns meadows
They lost their way, however. and
after rambling around in the woods
turned east near the Ingalls, place

lake. They turned south on that and

which he handled the pursuit of the

AIDS TO TRAFFIC.
Railroad Men Believe Creameres
Worthy of Encouragement.

Traffic officials of the various rail
way lines are considering a plan of
harmonious action to promote and
strengthen the dairy industry in Min
nesOta and the DakOtas. Railroad
managers are strong in the belief that
no agency has done more to build
up the northwestern towns and make
them good revenue producers for the
railroads than has the dairy industry.
For this reason several of the leading
traffic men are outspoken in favor of
numerous small creameries as against
any other plan ever incorporated un-
der the head of the dairy industry
Minnesota already has large mum,
ber of creameries, but it is believed
that these can be greatly increased
to the advantage of the dairy inter.
ests of the state, the prosperity of nu.
merous small towns and the freight
receipts OF the railroads.
1t has been the experience of the
railroads that every town which has
well operated creamery largely ex-
ceeds in shipments of all kinds and
general prosperity the town which
has not. The creamery makes a bet
ter market for the town. 1t is a
means of bringing the farmers and
business men together and the dis
cussions for the general good of the
community often result in new indus
tries or material plans that improve
the community from business and
industrial standpoint, all of which is
beneficial to the railroads. The
roads are anxious to create interest
in the individual towns on their lines
in order to increase the amount OF
traffic handled at each station.
Freight department statistics show
| wonderful increase in the dairy
products handled in recent years
| Several roads have double their reve
nues from this source in the last five
years One of the Minneapolis roads
carried nearly three times the dairy
products last year that it did five
years ago. This big increase is open
ing the eyes of traffic officials and the
small creamery system is consequent
| ly increasing in popularity with them
Lines entering the Dakotas are YER!
! favorably disposed toward the efforts
now being made TO multiply the mum
ber Of creameries in those states.

IT DOES QUEER THINGS.
American Railway Chronograph The
Greatest Invention of the

age.
Janesville, Wis, Sept 3O-AttOr-
ney J. w. Bates and the Rev. f. L.
Eaton, both former GAINESVILLE men,
are interested in a device called the
American Railway Chronograph," in
which both men are stockholders.
It is one of the greatest inventions
of the age and it is attached to the ma
chinery of the locomotive inside the
cab and has tape that runs along
from one spool to the other and is reg
ulated by the air brake.
It works automatically and cannot
be tampered with by the engineer or
tue record counterfeited. 1t costs but
few cents day to operate and is an
covered.
Some of the things it records dur
ing a trip are: Every blast of the
whistle, exact time and place; the
speed every minute. every hour and
every week; the time and place a
train breaks in two, and now fast the
spee. when the train parted; the time
and place any accident occurs; the
speed approaching; the arrival; the
delay at any station; how close any
number of trains follow the first sec
tion in the same direction; where two
trains pass in opposite directions;
when the engineer hrst noticed the
flag and if he signaled: how long aftel
the discovery of the flag before stoI
was made; when and where the all
| brakes were applied; how long the
| engineer is on any and every trip
| Just where the locomotive is; what il
| is doing each day and every week
how much steam is wasted through
the pop valve each day.
| It locates absolutely the cause o
every rear-end collision; who is t.
blame at grade crossing accidents
reckless speed; useless delays and eX
| cessive waste of coal. It gives pho
| to "moiel" of each mile of track
each trip; each train as it passes
along; shows just what and where tn
| instant anything occurs which ths
| superintendents wish to know about.
