ONE ON THE TEACHER.
"a certain young man, school
teacher) while visiting friend over
Sunday. was sent by the lady of the
house for ham, for a boiled dinner,
he being fond of boiled dinners. He
started to the butcher shop posi-
haste and brought five pounds Of ham.
He had mush and milk for dinner -
From the Pittsville items IN the
Wisconsin, Valley Leader, January 20,
1903
We could not "quite see the Joke"
in the above, and investigated, finding
the following to be the facts in the
case.
Otto Wipperman is the school
teacher mentioned, E. S. Woodwork,
the ''friend." We have not been able
to ascertain who the "Landlady" in
the Woodwork household is, rs all
deny having sent the young man on
so indefinite an errand as ''to buy
some ham for boiled dinner" What
could be more indefinite? The young
man probably thought to buy meat
enough to last over Sunday and two
and one half pounds of meat is surely
not too much for a family of five. for
one meal. 1t is quite evident the
"Landlady," one of the teachers in
Pittsville public school, decided five
pounds of meat was too much for one
meal, and didn't stop to think the
piece could be cut into two pieces,
and eaten at two meals.
Get s0up-b bone next time, Otto.

This Is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale Of any medicine In the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment of consumption and throat
and lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years, you
will be thankful we called your atten.
ton to Boschee's German Syrup. There
are so many ordinary cough remedies
made by druggists and others that are
cheap and good for light colds perhaps,
but for severe coughs, bronchitis, Group

where there is difficult e~xpectoration

REVISING TIME TABLE.
On the Entire Santa Fe System OF
Roads.

George e. Roe, division freight and
passenger agent Of the Santa Fe, left
for Topeka to attend a meeting of the
transportation and traffic officials,
says the Ell Paso Times. The object
OF the meeting is to effect the regular
spring Encouragement of the time Ia
Bile of the system. The discontinue
ton of the California limited on the
first of June as a daily service will
necessitats some important changes
on some of the divisions, but not in
tb4 local division. The only change
likely to be made in this division is
the time Of the arrival of the regular
freight train.
Speaking OF the changing of the
time table, a iCcal Santa Fe man said:
Few people understand what 1t
costs a big railroad system to change
it's time table. All of the transporta-
ton and traffic men Of the system
must meet at a given point and their
expenses must be paid while the meet
ing lasts. In the case of the Santa Fe
this amounts to not less than 81 200 a
day. | venture that this present meet
ing will cost the company not less
than SIS. 600"

but seeks for the illegal concession
which he enjoys This question will
be taken before the commission for
settlement with the others raised in
the same connection.
The general opinion among railroad
men. however, is that there is nc help
under the interstate commerce law
for the condition which has been de
scribed. The provisions relating to re.
bates, determinations and secret rates
will hardly apply to brokers and PEG
pie outside of the transporting corpor,
atoms. If this is established there
will probably be a move for some
amendments Of the law or a statute
which will in some way meet this fea.

Immense Crowds of Excursionists viii
Go to California.

Immense Crowds of Excursionists viii
Go to California.
General passenger agents of Chica-
go believe that the month of May will
break all records for California travel.
1t so happens that during the next
thirty days will be held oil the coast
either at Los Angeles or San Francis
co, half a dozen conventions and gath.
erings. which will attract many thou
sand people.
Estimates of the number who will
travel on the cheap excursion rates
granted for those occasions within the
month vary from Is, 900 to rs, 200. The
prevailing rate will be $50 for the
round trip which is less than the reg
ular one-way fare. Arrangements
have been made by the roads out of
Chicago for the operation of fifteen
special trains from Chicago to Cali
fornia before May 81. Nearly all Of
these trains will go by the way Of
Omaha and Denver, and return over
the Santa Fe road.
Among the gatherings which are to
be held on the coast Don are the Pres
byterian general assembly at Los An.
geles May 81 to June /, National AS,
ISOLATION of Master Plumbers at San
Francisco May 10 to %, American Or
| nithologists' Union at San Francisco
May Is and nation convention of the
Junior Order of United American Me-
chanics at San Francisco.
These occasions also call forth sew
eral personally conducted tours of the
coast, which will require special trains.
One Of these was the Cleveland Grays,
the crack military organization of
that city, which passed through Albu-
querque Tuesday, bound for the coast.
Another is the Presbyterian Home
| Mission tour, which will be personally
conducted by the Pennsylvania, and
will leave Chicago on May IA with 176
people, including a corps of %chaperons,
stenographers and special guides. This
train, which will go over the Santa Fe,
and also the assembly train" will
! not do Sunday travelling.
During June, July and August, also,
many conventions will be held on the
coast, and the season will undoubtedly
be a record-breaker Nearly all sum
mer long a rate of $50 or less will pre-
vail for the round trip.

MORE SANTA FE MEN QUIT.
shopmen at Argentine Refuse to Do
BoiIermakers' Work.


A dispatch from Kansas City dated
May s says: Twelve Of the men EN-
ployed at the Santa Fee roundhouse in
Argentine Joined the striking boiler
makers and their helpers at the shops
there last evening because they were
asked to do work which they believed
formerly fell to the strikers. Nine of
the men were engine wipers and the
other three were employed in various
capacities. The wipers who struck
we're asked to bore flues. When an
engine is run into the r~oundhouse the
pipes of the tubular boilers often be-
come clogged with SCOT. A long auger
is taken and the fiue bored out. This
nine Of the men refused to do.
At the shops it was stated that no
attempt would be made to fill the strik'
ers' places, as the work would be done
al other places. A few men remained
at work in the boiler shops yesterday
and these were still at work this
morning.

WILL 1T CATCH BROKERS?
Elkins Law May Prohibit Selling Cut
Rate Tickets.

Among passenger traffic officials Of
some of the western lines the liability
OF ticket scalpers under the Elkins bill
is a question of interest, n one that
may lead to the interstate commerce
commission for decision very soon.
Under the recent Interpretation of
the law all tariffs, passenger as well
as freight. must be published and no
rates made which do not comply with
those published tariffs. AS the broker
operates his business this is nulliied,
the passenger agents say. The broker
sells to his customer on the street a
ticket from Chicago to Denver for
from IS TO 81 less than the regular
fare. This ticket may be used by a
passenger who occupies a seat by the
side of another who has paid the full
price. Both have the same service as
to cars, connections and time occupied
on the trip, but there is a discrimina-
ton in fare in favor of the one and
against the other. The fact that the
railroad company is not a party to this
discrimination should not take the act
out OF the operation OF the law prohib-
iting the discrimination, say the pas
senger agents.
The anti-scalping law provides that
the ticket broker who sells tickets
shall be the agent of the railroad over
which the ticket is good. This, If
lived up to, would bring the matter
closer home 10 the company issuing
the ticket possibly, and the question
that is worrying the passenger agents
is how close the responsibility will be
brought home.
Another question raised is, What is
the degree of responsibility under that
act of the passenger who not only gets

They Constitute a Serious Menace to
Traffic on Frontier.
Train robberies have ceased to be a
monopoly of this country, and are so
common in certain parts of Russia that
the ministry Of transportation has TAX
en- special measures to prevent them.
A Russian journal reports that within
the last three years there have been
1,181 attacks On trains or criminal at
tempts to wreck them, and 286 armed
attacks, resulting in robbery or MUIR
der. A force of mounted police Is to
be established north of the Caucasus
and east of the Caspian, and a secret
police in the settlements near the rail
roads, by whose Inhabitants the at.
tacks are usually made. Further pro.
vision is made for the immediate trial
OF those arrested, and police powers
are given to certain of the higher
classes of railroad employees; and train
and station men on the Siberian and
the Chinese Eastern railroad will be
armed. Better wages are to be paid
to trackmen and laborers, who, appar'
emily, are suspected in some ases OF
assisting the robbers nj getting a
share of the plumber.
