incidentally, a few state jobs. Estab-

Johnson, stock It with a cluster of fresh

son. the eOlOred race would not be the
only people who could indulge in the
toothsome fowl as a Wand, and poached
eggs on toast would not be a luxury,
but a standard diet The mOnopolists
would be compelled to retire to the
dense forests The hen would be raised
to the pedestal of respect due her sta

little harmless hen-play on the part of

Final arrangements have been made
to give the newsboys free admission to
Ships indoor circus Monday night.
Through the efforts of T J. Anderson,
all the members of J. E. NissIey's news

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

There is none of US so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting a benefit
or bringing a little comfort into their
lives we like to have appreciation
shown. This generally affords more
pleasure than the performance of the
act itself, and in this connection the
following letter from a Texas lady is
of more than usual interest:
Dear Friends. I address you as
such for you have been such to me.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
Important Experiments Made With
FormaIine BY DR.. Barrows.

New York. Jan. 16.-At the last meet
ing of the New York Obstetrical society
DR.. Charles c. Barrows of this city sub
mitted report of an experiment with
formaline. a drug known as the strong
est of antiseptics which he had made
in Bellevue hospital on a patient, who
after giving birth to child. had a tenn
perature of 1os degrees and a pulse of
100
When the patient was admitted she
was suffering from sepis or blood pois-
oning. A blood culture was taken and
it was found to be full Of septiea emia,
known to the medical profession as
streptococci. After the injection of for
maline the patient recovered rapidly.
The belief at the start was that the
patient was dying and most radical
measures were used to save life. Five
hundred cubic centimeters of formaline
were injected into the left arm. The
effect seemed. according to DR.. Barrows'
report. to be almost instantaneous. A
second injection was given her and her
pulse and temperature fell to normal.
The patient is recovering now
Experiments are being made on ami
mails and further important results are
expected The injection of formaline
into the veins had never been heard of
until DR.. Barrows read his paper.

matter of additional pay for trains con-
tanning over 80 cars. that is another
matter of vital moment
In fact the entire question is by no
means a devitaiized corose.
The first road we Win call upon viii
be the Missouri Kansas & Texas; after
that the committee VIII call upon the
officials of the other roads.
Our relations during our conference
with the managing officers have been
distinctly harmonious. We could not
reach an agreement chiefly because the
discussion in the form involved too
many complex problems .
Mr.. Garretson intimated that neither
the railway tTajDmen nor the cOnduc-
tors would make any compromise on
their demand for a 20 per cent increase
or for extra pay for crews on trains of
go cars.
Mr.. A1orrissey stated that the commit
tees would call on the roads instead of
meeting their officials with the officials
of other roads. Mr.. Morrissey said that
there was no lack of harmony between
either the trainnen and conductors or
the officials, but that it was decided that
the best way to settle the matter was
in the manner stated.
Mr. Morrissey and Mr.. Garretson will
remain in St. Louis until the matter is
settled
Most of the railroad officials intimated
that the 20 per cent increase demanded
is out of the question, and the matter
80 or more cars is not to be seriously
considered.
However, on neither side is there the
slightest talk of drastic action. and both
express themselves as confident that the
affair will be amicably settled.

Westerners With Money Now Back

New financial interests which are doTni-
nant IN the Erie railroad have determined
to spend between SO e00 and $50. COO
II rebuilding the property, re-eQuippng
the road and bringing it up to present
standards in every respect
1t IS known that the western interests in
the property have become large, but this
interest IS not necessarily the Rock Is
land interest. It is however, true that
large holders Of Rock Island are also large
holders in Erie.
From now on the career of the Erie.
both in the railroad world and on the
stock market, will be watched with intense
interest.
The western contingent, which has be-
come interested in the property consists
Of bold operators, who have the coura &c
of their convictions and are not afraid to
spend money in backing them up. The
Erie is the only trunk line property which
in recent years has not been almost COM
pletely overh2uled, if not rebuilt.Tgae com
pany has always been hampered by a sad
lack of funds and the infusion of new
western blood will undoubtedly give the
company the impetus which it has lacked
for many years
Whether the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Ese is to be included in this combination is
at least doubtful Such combination would
mean an ocean-to-ocean line under one
control and combination with the Atchi-
son has been thought of by the Rock IS

Trainmen viii Drop General Negoti-
atoms for Increase.

Chicago, Jan 16.-The wage increase
committee of the western roads have de-
cided to discontinue the general confer
enee with the manaRements of all the
roads who have met them for the last
two days.
Until the matter is settled each com
mittee of trainmen and conductors of
the roads will present its demand for a
of the road only and discuss the matter
with it's management.
This decision was arrived at yester-
day. It was due to the fact that the
leaders Of the orders. P. H. Morrissey,
grand master of the Order of Railway
Trainmen, and A. B. Garretson. chief
vice counselor of the Order of Condue-
tors have been comforting with the
management of the western roads for
two days without making Roadway.
It was decided that the interests in the
matter of increase were subject to too
diverse conditions. and for that reason
the officials and the men had better set
tie the matter without outside advice
A 3. Garretson was seen and asked
for a statement as to the progress Of
the wage-increase demand.
