THE WHITE SUCCEEDS THF
GREEN
North Western Makes CIlanses In
SI0nal Code,


Radical changes are to be made
in the color of lights used for train
signals over the Northwestern
system says the Chicago Chronicle.
This company, as we'll as several
others roads, has been using
signals of it's own ever eince the
road began operations. These
signals are at variance with those
adopted by the American Railway
association, known as the standard
code OF signals.
1t has been decided by the
management of the NV to aban-
Con the code of signals that has
oeen in use and gradually work
around to the standard. This will
be done slowly in order to aquaipt
he employs with the new system
ny degrees.
General Superintendent Aleh-
ron has issued the following order:
Effective Sunday, February 2,
1902. at ~ o'clock noon, rule IS of
book of rules aud regulations,
governing employees OF the opera
ing department, will be cancelled.
Upon the above date white signals
will bs substituted for green
signals, as provided by rule 66,
md when white signals are dis
played upon an engine it will be
understood by all concerned that
the train displaying such signals
is special train.
Speaking of the reorganization
Of the signal system MIR. Ashton
said:
eve will change the colors Of the
signals one at time, ard we hope
in this way to effect a complete
change in two or three months.
When this is done we will issue
new book of rnles.
"By changing one signal at time
the new color will become more
1eeply impressed on engineer and
trainmen, and better results with
less liability Of accident, we be-
lieve, will follow.
"The idea of railroads having a
uniform code of signals is that
employees of one road going to
another will be at once familiar
with the color signals. In this way
a new employ does not have to be
reeducated, and as consequence
he is less liable to make mistake
This is to the interest of the tran
sportatlon companies.

SURE DEATH TO wooDcHUcKs
6...a.,. Departures Of Asr'e.l'-r'
Tells How to Do Away with
the Pests.

In many parts Of Canada a good deal
of damage is annually done in grain,
hay and pasture fields by the common
woodchuck, or grounding. Not only
is a considerable amount of grain or
fodder consumed by these animals,
but much lore is trampled upon and
destroyed, while the open burrows are
occasionally responsible for accidents
to horses employed in harvesting.
Many ways of destroying these ami
mails have been devised, but ordinary
methods frequently fail to keep them
in check. Probably the simplest and
most satisfactory method is that of
the use of b%isulphide of carbon, an in
fammable liquid which, on exposure
to air, volatilizes into a vapor that is
very destructive to animal life. A bull
letin has been issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, telling how to APP
ply the remedy, reports the Toronto
Star. One special advantage of carbon
bisulphide is that it's vapor is more
than twice as heavy as air, so that in
a woodchuck burrow it will follow
OAoAS Vic AOlc ulCll AZ lCdCuCS IA NV
tom, %crowding the air above it to the
top. AS the animal is likely to be in
the lower part of the burrow, it is al
most certain to inhale the poisonous
vapor and be killed.
The equipment necessary for this
sort of woodchuck hunt consists of a
bottle Of carbon bisulphide, a bundle
of old cotton or other cloth, a pail and a
spade. The pail is filled with dirt and
set near the hole ready to turn in; then
a piece of cloth is held between thumb
and finger, saturated with about an
ounce of the liquid, and Immediately
thrown as far into the burrow as
possible. The pail of dirt is quickly
thrown into the hole, and the entrance
carefully closed. If there is more
than one entrance, all but n should
be filled in before the treatment. This
method not only kills the old wood
chuck, but destroys in a humane
ner the young in the burrow. 1t has,
too, the additional advantage that the
animal is not only killed but is buried,
and the hole is filled, so that consider
able time is thus saved.
It should be distinctly understood
by everyone who uses carbon bisul-
phide for any purpose that it is high
" volatile, infammable and poisonous,
and it is also highly explosive. With
any reasonable care in Its use. how

Much needed and generally abundant
rains fell over a large part of the Mis-

Middle Atlantic states and over the
southeastern Rocky Mountain slope.
Rain is now generally needed over
the greater part of the southern states,
more particularly in the eastern and

fallen over portion of the central Gulf
states.
A heavy snow storm interfered withf
farm work in Montana, the Dakotas and

states.
Considerable corn has been planted
in Illinois, some in southern portions of
Ohio and Iowa, and planting is we'll adj

and Virginia, In the southern states
corn has made good growth and is in
various stages of cultivation, some be-

Winter wheat has experienced i'm
provement in Illinois and portions of
Missouri, and is slightly improved in

TAMPERING WITH WITNESS.

Serious Charge Against a New Haven
Man-Outcome of the Meriden Pool
Room Case.
Bridgeport, April 29.--S8muel T. Sim
mons, of New Haven, a well known
horseman, was arrested here last night
on charge of tampering with George
E. Arnold, a witness for the state in
the case against David Hayes, of Mer-
iden, for pool selling. Secretary Thrash
err. of the Law and Order league, was
notified of the arrest and came here on
the midnight train.
Some months ago, it is alleged, David
Hayes tried to bride Arnold to tip him
on any raids that might be proposed by
the Law and Order league. Arnold in
formed Secretary Thrasher and the ar
rest of Hayes followed.
Quite recently a man came to the
home of Arnold in this city and offered
Arnold's wife 5000 if she would get Ar
mold to go out of the state while the
trial of Hayes was on. He said the
trial would be in progress in few
days He gave Mrs. Arnold part Of the
money She informed Mr. Thrasher,
who caused Private Detective Shields,
of New York, to conceal himself in Ar
nold's home last Friday. He had in
structions to remain as long as neces-
sary.
Last evening the man came to the
house and, it is alleged repeated his Of
fer to bride.
The detective waited until the con-
versation had reached proper stage
and arrested his man. He covered him
with a revolver. The alleged corrup-
ZIONIST submitted quietly. Later he at

after hot chase and brought to police
headquarters. He gave the name Sam

Simmons had his case continued till

he could not secure.
