The above article is taken from
the III Reno American, and is
shot air'' story which originated
IN the mind Of s'NhisperiDg Char
ley Greer, the cadayer who runs
that haer. That it is lie out of
the whole cloth goes without say
ing. Any intelligent man who
eads the article will see that the
only improvements contemplated
at Ell Reno are the addition Of a
couple Of side tracks and q cutoff
connecting the ChOctaw and Rock
Island.
An Express reporter callei at
Supt. Tinsman g Office this morn
ing to secure information regard
ing the reported change. supt.
Tinsman is out OF the city and will
not return until Saturday. so no
information could be gained from
that quarter. Mr.. Calkins, Mr..
rinsman's q chief clerk, said il was
lrue that they we're making some
improvements at Ell Reno, putting
IN new sidings and building q cut
OF from the ChOctaw to the main
line Of the Rock Island: but that
be did not think any change in
division points was contemplated
Prominent citizens OF Chicka-
sha who are in the confidence Of
the Rock leland officials laugh at
the idea Of moving the division 70
Fl Reno, and say there Is abso-
lately nothing in it. One reason
advanced for the additional size
tracks is that the freight which
now comes over the Oh0otaw
oilled - points south on the main
line has TO be transferred at Fl
Reno junction, unless billed in a
through car, which rarely happens
This causes the freight TO be con-
gested ut that point, and causes
much work in transferring. When
the new cut-offs sDd sidings have
been constructed, the freight will

aud then the transferring at Fl
Reoo will be obvisted, and the
Rock Island saved q whole lOi

island as anyone can get. and who
keeps himself we'll posted on oil
matters OF this character, says thai
heretofore all cotton passing thu

Causes General Rejoic-
ing in Chickasha.

There is little news regarding
the threatened strike Of the Rock
Island employees in the operating
department. The employees at
Chickasha are patiently awaiting
to hear from Chicago but, as yet
no word has been received. A
prominent member of the order Of
Railway Conductors here stated TO
an Express reporter yesterday that
10 O'Clock that morning had been
fixed as the honr 70 inaugurate the
movement if the company did not
come to terms, but the fact that the
order to strike had not been given
was taken as favorable Indication
that some amioable settlement Of
the matter had been arrived at.
On the streets of Chickasha yes.
terdsy and in the freight yards Of
the Rock Island company, the
strike situation was the chief topic
Of conversation. Everything here
is in readiness for The movement
to begin just as soon as the word
is given from Chicago.
A special from Chicago to the
Kansas City Times Of Wednesday
Is as follows, which would indicate
that no agreement has been reached
and that q strike is imminent:
National officers OF the two EN-.
ployees, organizations are in the
city and they are doing their best
TO prevent a strike, but the confer
ences today and tonight we're stormy
and strike is expected. The
committee Of tEainmcn Is headed
by w. T. Bailey. Grand Con-
duotor +. +. Clark, who was lne
Of the members Of tho miners or
bitrEtion board appointed BY Pres
ident Roosevelt, and First Vice
Grand Master w. G.. Lee of the
trainmen are among the eoDferees. y
just at this time strike would
result IN disastrous loss To the
Rock Island railroad company,
and would result in tying up other
lines as well. AS Supt. TinsmRn
said Tuesday, neither side can az
ford it. The railroad is sending
out from 20 20 80 heavily loaded
wheat trains daily, aud even With
that cannet move the crop and re-
Ilieve the congested condition OF
the division points.
| Today Will probably decide the
matter, as the employees fully ex-
lpect to receive word from Chicago

we're in conference todsy and as 1
result all danger of q strike is de
clared BY union lesders to be past
It is said an agreement practically

WILL SEND $500 FREE
Franklin Miles, NJ. D., Ii. B., the Celebrat-
ed Chicago Specialist, Will Send $500
Worth of His New Special Treatment
Free to Each of Our Readers.

When an experienced physician
offers to give away $4O,000 worth of a
New Treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy. it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in it. And when hundreds of
prominent people freely testify to his
unusual skill and the superiority of
his New Special Treatment, his
liberality is certainly worthy of
serious consideration
That DR.. Miles is one of the world 8
most successful physicians is proven
by hundreds of testimonials from
well.known people. One patient
cured after failure of eleven Grand
Rapids physicians, two after being
given up by six and seven Chicago
physicians, another after nine lead
ing doctors in New York City,
Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
1000 testimonials sent upon request.
The eminent Rev. w. Bell, d. D.,
of DAYTON. O., Gen. Sec'y of Foreign
Missions, writes editorially in The
State Sunday School Union: "We de-
sire to state that from personal
acquaintance we know DR.. Miles to be
most skillful specialist, man who
ldb bpdIcu uCltuCl uuOhCy w
keep himself abreast of the great ad-
vancement in medical science"
Mrs. Lucy Temple, wife of the JUS
tice of Peace of Let's, Ia, was ill for
years from disease of the lungs, heart,
stomach, head and back, and was
cured by DR.. Miles New Special
Treatment. She writes: Il have
given birth to two children since
treatment and my heart has not
troubled me- Mrs. Laura Reed, of
Bear Grove, Ia. who had been treated
for serious nervous trouble, writes TO
a friend: "God bless DR.. Miles. Put
yourself in his hands. l think he
will cure you Mrs Alice Baxter,
of What Cheer, Ia, was treated by
DR.. Miles for nervous prostration and
poor circulation, and afterwards
stated, Especial Treatment helped me
wonderfully.
This new system of Special Treat
ment is thoroughly scientific and i'm
mensly superior to the ordinary
methods.
AS all afflicted readers may have
$500 worth of treatment free, we
would advise them to send for it at
once. Address, DR.. Franklin Miles,

Prevention is better than cure, and

Syrup for coughs, colds and consump-

beginning, can be depended ON to
even cure after the lungs begin to
waste away. No other remedy is sc

that they may have it always in the
