A new train man is proposed by a
writer in Chicago paper, in discuss
ing the question How to Avoid Rail-
way Wrecks. He says: Il have a
suggestion to make which in my
opinion would materially reduce the
liability of railroad wrecks. Provide
each train with a train pilot-a re-
liable man to do nothing else but
have the movement of the train in
charge. He would receive all orders
from the dispatcher and send reports
to agents or blockhouse keepers as to
the whereabouts of his train, time of
arrival and departure at and from
each station. This pilot should be
dressed in an entirely different uni
form from the other trainmen, SO that
in short time the travelling public
would know his duties. AS it is the
conductor, no matter how capable he
may be, has so many things to annoy
and yex him which tend to take his
mind off his train orders. He has to
collect fares, give receipts, answer a
thousand questions, remember sleepy
passenger, besides watching for sta
tons and other trains and making up
his reports. The engineer has to look
after his locomotive, which is two
engines. and he has plenty to do be-
sides keeping so many orders in his
mind, and fretting and worrying about

brakeman. A man who has sufficient
ability to be conductor of "a passen-

A locomotive engineer declares that
of the train men too much is exacted.
I'VE have heard from nearly all the
railroad officials how to prevent
wrecks" he says; now let us hear
what an engineer can tell about them.
These officials say that it is almost
impossible for wreck to occur with
out some one disregarding the rules,
but at the same time they make set
of rules to govern trains that
an engineer canot live up to and hold
his position. For instance, there is a
rule calling for a reduction of speed
to fifteen miles an hour over all inter
locking plants. A train leaves the
Chicago depot with seven or eight
cars. In the first eight miles there
are five interlocking plants and one
drawbridge, and the running time is
thirteen minutes. If a man was to
have a wreck at any one of these
places and 1t was shown that he was
running faster than fifteen miles an
hour. who should be censured-the
engineer or the official, who says
make time or quit? This is only one
example of what locomotive engineer
has to contend with. The officials
have a book of rules to protect them
selves, which is made to be disre-
garded as long as everything goes
right, but as soon as anything happens
they pick up their little book and
show the public where the company
is not to blame, as there is rule
against fast running or otherwise, as
the case may be.
Recently one official said: Old
men should not be kept in service
It is not encouraging to young man
starting in to a life of hardship to
know he is to be thrown out when he
gets little old. At the same time
these officials do not want to let
young man pull any of the important
trains. simply because it would look
bad il anything should happen and
Young man was on the engine. This
same official said: Employees should
not be allowed to go out with INSULT
cient rest Nearly all If not all the
roads give them the privilege OF re-
fusing to go when tired. but often a
subordinate official will discipline
man for refusing to go. At the same
time. If anything happens to them or
their train, the discipline would be
lust as severe--they would be told
there was no excuse for their going
out without sufficient rest. III the
truth were known, a majority OF the
wrecks are caused by too much econ
omy. In fact, there have been sew
eral that the slight expense of switch
light would have prevented. The abb
sence of derailing switches at the end
Of sidetracks has also caused some
bad wrecks. Since this subject has
been brought before the public, would
it not be well to get the opinion OF
some of the men who know-such as
the engineers and conductors? They
are the ones who can throw a great
deal of light on this subject. | think
il this is investigated something inter
esting and instructive will be found. "

yesterday to thirty days in jail here for
shoplifting. Thursday afternoon two
men entered the Metzgar & Cavanaugh

the building with one of the men, the
other remaining near the front. Metz
ger became suspicious of the actions of
the fellows and watched them closely.
While the fellow with the garment was
endeavoring to engage the attention of
the proprietor, the other man slipped a
bolt of cloth under his overcoat, Mr..
Metzgar observing the action thru a
mirror. AT that moment the fellow in
the rear called to the other to so on up
the street and he would rejoin him pres
emily. The fellow started for the door,
but the tailor was too quick for him.
Running forward he seized the man &
fore he had gotten thru the door. In the
ensuing struggle the thief fell thru a

cape from the building and nothing fur
Their was seen of him.

President Mac Lean Makes
Three General Propositions
To Guilty Students
SPEECH CAUSES HEATED DEBATE
Meeting of Students of Sophomore
Class Proper Is Held at Which
Counter Proposal to the President
Was Made-Proposed Action of Fac
uIty Not Yet Made Public.
,ecial to Tlmes-Republicsn.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. cit is understood
that President MacLean made three
general propositions to the students
quietly of destroying property, which
the sophomores say could be simmered
down TO a proposal that the members
of the class assess themselves to the
amount of about s165. that being the
amount Of damages claimed as
the result OF the riot; and
further that the faculty would
reserve the right to expell any
Of the guilty ones whom they saw fit.
These propositions were made at a
meeting held in the liberal arts audi
toriuni.
After the president retired heated
debate ensued, resulting in the appoint
ment Of a committee to draw up reso-
buttons expressing the sentiments OF the
class. In effect, the sophomores make
counter proposal to the president that
they pay all damages up to the time
that the police knocked down the two
medical students, and after that pro-
rata share, the sophomores claiming
that they were not the only ones par
ticipating in the riot after that time.
Every member of the sophomore class
proper was present, and some students
who will soon class as juniors; a num-
Der of unclassified students who were
in the university last year did not re-
ceive invitations. and of these those
who tried it experienced some difficulty
in gaining an entrance. With this large
attendance, making good expression
of the feelings of the class possible, the
above resolution was passed with a ralr
majority and by standing vote.
/, 1t remains to be seen what action the
faculty will take in the matter, now
that the class has made it's proposition.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indlca-
ton of arrangement or disease IN some
organ, and the cause of the headache Is
difficult TO locate because so many als-
eases have headache as a prornlhehl
symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease
lung trouble, eye strain or Ill Htllns
glasses all produce headaches, ana II
we could always locate the organ when
is at fault the cure of obstinate mead
aches would be a much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back OF
the eyes and in forehead, the cause IS
now known to be catarrh OF the heau'
and throat; when the headache Is To-
Gated in back of head and neck IL Is
often caused from catarrh OF the ston-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches ana the
cure of the eatarrh causes prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new inter-
nal remedy in tablet form, composed OF
anti-septics like red gum, blood root,
which act upon the blood and cause the
elimination of the catarrhal poison from
the system thru the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as cure for
them. She says: 81 suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain In and
back of the eyes, at times SO intensely
as to incapacitate me in my daily du-
ties. had suffered from catarrh, more
or less, for years. but never thought It
was the cause of my headaches, but
finally became convinced that such was
the case because the headaches were
always worse whenever / had cold or
fresh attack of catarrh.
'Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were high
~ recommended to me as a safe and
pleasant catarrh cure. and after using
from my druggists, l was surprised and
delighted to find that both the catarrh
and headaches had gone for good"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents per package, un-
der the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine /
found in so many catarrh cures), no |
opium $50 common In cheap cough /
eures) nor any harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome antisep-
tics necessary to destroy and drive from /
the system the germs of catarrhal dis |
ease.

Physicians Evidence Before Strike Ar.
bitration Commission.
A MINE WORKERS. TESTIMONY
Conditions in the Mines Compared with Those in Our
Shops and Factories The Experience Of David Collins
Suggests Remedy : His Evidence Substantiated
by That of Baptist Clergyman.

A Wilkesbarre physician, testifying
before the presidents arbitration COM
mission, declared that fully SO per cent
of the men who work in the coal mines
are anaemic, their health impoverished
and their general condition below par,
thus decreasing their earning powers.
The word "anaemic" is medical term
used to describe condition in which
the blood is deficient in quality, giving
the victim pallid look, dull eyes and
istless manner.
That ninety nine Of every one hun
bred miners are afflicted with this dis
ease Is revelation to most people, but
a fact of much deeper concern is that
the conditions that promote this disease
exists in shops and factories in almost
every city thruout the country.
Physicians who appeared before the
commission testified that life is short,
ened by work in the coal mines. 1t is
equally true that hundreds Of thousands
of men and women at work in our great
factories will die sooner because Of be-
ing there.
The testimony adduced before the
commission is substantiated by the fol-
lowing evidence given by one of the coal
miners whose experience not only
points out a danger. but shows that a
remedy is at hand.

Straitsville, Ohio, was a victim of amaze

stage called "pernicious' which is gen.
orally regarded as hopelessly incurable.
