STILL A CAR FAMINE
All Railroads Reported to be Short
on Freight Cars at Present.
Business Has Nearly Doubled and
There Is No Prospect of
Ready Relief
ROLLING
STOCK
SHORT

Railroad men throughout the coun.
try are in quandary In their effort
to supply cars and engines for the
freight shipments which Il is being
found necessary to make. In every
state in the Union requests for cars
for shipping purposes are being made,
and, owing to scarcity of the sup
ply it is impossible to fill all the
orders.
The state Of affairs which exists
today has never before been true in
such an exaggerated state. Chicago
wheat elevators are nearly bursting,
tobacco warehouses are crowded to the
full with hogsheads ready for ship
ment; in fact, in every section of the
United States manufacturers and
wholesalers are clsmoring fov cars,
which the railroad companies cannot
supply, Insuffioiency Of cars is not
an exceptionally rare thing, but =
protracted scarcity, extending over q
period OF two or three months, estab-
fishes new record.
The car and engine manufacturers
are working night and day to fill or
ders, and Il 10 believed that IN the
course Of q few weeks she congestion
will be relieved. Many new engines
especially. are to be ordered, for IL
is claimed that the lack of motive
supply Is the immediate cause Of the
prevailing condition. IL IL claimed
by railroad men that II there were q
sufficient number OF engines 10 carry
the cars TO the places where they
should go, there would never occur
such q state Of affairs as exists today.
As IL IL now, railroad tracks are crowd
ed with loaded cars waiting to be car
ried TO different sections Of the coun.
try.
Railroad men everywhere report
that this is caused by the unprece-
dented activity In all lines Of business.

It's result in railroad circles. A prom
inent freight agent said yesterday that
the railroad freight business in this
and nearly every other city of the
country would be nearly doubled.

mics turn out the cars and engines on

probable that such tension as exists
today will occur for many years.

A HUNT FOR SINNERS
Interesting Account Of Expedition
Through Mountains
Have One Good Fight and Capture
and Destroy Several
Outfits.
SOAP AN UNKNOWN ARTICLE

One OF the most readable narratives
ever offered a federal department for
perusal is the report of Deputy Reve-
nue. Collector Charles NJ. Randall con-
corning ten. day raid on moonshine
stills in Perry, Leslie, Clay and
Breathitt counties The raid which is
the most important one of the fall and
winter was made under the direction
of former revenue Agent LIS. Thrash
err. The report was forwarded to Rich
mond, Va, where he is now stationed
and came back to Louisvills yesterday.
says the Post.
Randall sailed forth Dec. 10 with
two deputies and "rode thirty-three
miles through cold mud" to a cabin
near Hyden, Leslie county. During
supper q negro boy appeared with a
jug OF moonshiine. A $40 bill was
shown him as a hint and after supper
the little posse was guided by the ne
gro to . still on wooten's creek, which
was destroyed at midnight
Recruiting his posse, Randall began
extensive operations against all the
moonshiners in four counties. Nose
Feltner, q motel bad man" was want
ed very badly. The revenue men
started their campaign against him on
December 2S. Christmas morning they
had several clevs to his whereabouts.
The deputy's report reads as follows;
"Isssure you 1t WAS the most cheer
less Christmas ever experienced. A
cold wind swept through the chinks of
the cabin, and every few minutes IL
would take a short cut and come mp
through the puncheous covering the
floor, making us SILVER and shake.
It was a fight for life TO keep the
dozen or so dirty-nosed urchins from
monopolizing all the heat that came
from the open wood fire place.
About 10 O'Clock the women, with
tobacco juice oczing from between
their lips, began to make some prepa-
rstons for dinner. They killed an old
turkey gobbler. Soap is an unknown
quantity in that region. The han
dies of knives and forks were 80 thick
encrusted with grease that, while try
ing to use mine, my knife slipped mp
my sleeve. After that wiped it on
my pants and took q firmer hold"
Christmas night tine party travelled
thirty five miles in the dark, and at
dawn came on Feltner's outfit, running
at full blast. Feltner's rife cracked
as the posse came in sight in the dim
morning light. but the first volley
from the revenue men put him to
flight, and his outfit was destroyed
Information was lodged against
about dozen moonshiners, about half
that number were captured, and Ran
dali disbsnded his posse and return
ed to London for New Year. He
had travelled over four hundred
miles.

MRS. NATION.
SHE STARTS A HOME FOR
DRUNKARDS' WIVES.

Kansas City. Mo- Jan. 9-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the Kansas joint
smssher, who has been raising money
in the East to establish a home for
drunkards' wives, today closed nego-
tiations for the purchase Of the large
residence Of s. N. Simpson, the real
estate dealer, at the corner of Rey-
nolds and Grandv'ew avenues, in
Kansas City, Kan. The price paid
was $1,000. The negotiations were
conducted by Campbell Moore,
brother Of Mrs. Nation.
The building is large two story
brick structure, containing fifteen
rooms, with modern improvements.
1t is situated on a tract of a little
more than one acre of high ground,
west of Riverview station, and three
blocks from the main line of the ele.
waited railway, an admirable location.
Mr.. Simpson. who has occupied 1t
as his home for fifteen years, will
give possession inside Of three
months, and it is understood that
Mrs. Nation will spend several thous-
and dollars in improving and remod-
cling 1t, with the ultimate purpose
of converting it into a home for
drunkards' wives.

Hon. John K. Hendrlck Says He is a

Returns From Frankfort and Louis
ville-The Injunction
Suit.
OTHER SUITS MAY BE FILED

Hon. John X. Hendrick, OF Paul.
cab, returned last evening from Fr.nk-
fort and Louisville, and this morning
stated to reporter in answer to .
question, that he is still In the race for
the Democratic nomination for COVER
nor, and expects to win.
In regard to the injunction suit of
Mr, Meachsm, a member Of the Dem
ocratic executive committee, which
went against the anti-primary men at
Frankfort, he said that in event the
Judgment was sustained by the court
of appeals, it is probable that some
Of the candidates for the nominations
will bring injunction suits to prevent
a primary.
He averred that the principal reason
the Mescham suit went against them
was that there was doubt as to Mr..
Meacham's having any more interest
IN the holding Of primary than any
other private citizen. A candidate. he
declared, will have cause Of action, and
1t is anticipated that an injunction
suit brought By one will have diff
ferent fate from that OF the commit
teeman.
Il is not yet known where such 3
suit will be filed, IL one is f3led. but
is expected that il will be in South
west Kentucky.
Another political affair Of interest
in the state just now is the report
ed breach between Governor Beck.
ham and Chairman Allie Young, Of
the Democratic state executive com
mittee. Yesterdays Louisville Her
aid had the following Frankfort dis
patch:
1.-THE state primary now is growing
in proportions as the fight progresses,
and, added to the bitterness between
the two leading wings Of the party, it
is now said that Governor Beckham
and Chairman Allie Young have been
at the point Of falling out for the last
few Gays.
II probably can not be said that q
open breach exists between them, but
the situation so nearly approaches
that state that the friends Of both
are embarrassed.
Members OF the Beckham faction are
reticent about the matter, but they
have let out enough to make every
body understand that they have diss-
greed with Mr.. Young regarding the
future of the party organization.
Il is said that Mr.. Young's plan of
selecting committeeman in the cities
was especially obnoxious and led to
open revolt by the Beckham managers,
VINO are suspicious that Young, after
getting in control Of affairs, might
play havoc with them in the future.
Young Is said to have left here In n
huff several days ago. He is expected
to return here tomorrow to LOOK after
the Mesoham injunction case, which
was appealed to the court of appeals
today, and the row between him and
the governor may or may not be fixed
up.

THE COOKBOOK.

To prevent eggs from cracking when
they are boiling. place a pin in the
saucepan.
II you get too much salt in the gravy,
a pinch of brown sugar will remedy the
sadness without hurting the gravy in
the least.
When onions are of too strong flavor
to be pleasant for sauce. boil turnip
with them. but remove it before using
the onions.
Never fry mere than six oysters at
once unless you have very large ket-
tie of fat. If more are cooked, they will
soak grease and take a long time to
brown.
Don't forget that mlncemeat is a
great deal better to be made week or
ten days before 1t is to be used. The
spices and cider. etc, have thus time to
percolate the apple and meat.
Peanut salad is an excellent accom-
paniment for roast duck. Soak cupful
of peanut meats in olive oil, drain and
mix lightly with two cupfuls of finely
cut celery and a dozen pitted olives.
Serve with mayonnaise dressing on let
tuce leaves.

A hIaniac's Poem.

Probably the mass of prison poetry
which has been written on stools and
bedposts and scratched on prison walls
far exceeds that which has found ex-
preston on paper. and many mute,
inglorious Milton" has begun and fin-
lshed his poetical career with these
lost to sight productions.
There is in existence a short poem.
said to have been scratched by a
maniac on the wall of his cell. which
runs thus:
Could with ink the ocean fill,
Were all the world OF parchment made.
Were every reed on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade.
To write the love of God alone
Would drain that ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole.
Though stretched from sky to sky.
The authenticity of this being the
work of a maniac has often been ques-
toned because Of the beauty of its OK
preston and its sound reason, but the
story stands.-All the Year Round.

HE WOULDN'T BE sNuesEo



Colonel OehiItree Bided His Time
and Carried on the Honors.
General Grant was a great admirer
of Colonel Thomas Ochiltree and made
many of the men of Galveston a bit
jealous. As a result they once planned
an incident whereby they would hui
initiate Ochiltree Grant was to stop
at Galveston after his trip to South
America, and the committee did not
put Ochiltree's name on the list of dis
tinguished men to meet him.
Ochiltree bided his time, as he was
never known to complain, and did not
go to the ship to welcome General
Grant. He took a. vantage point In the
crowd that filed the streets In front of
the fremont House. He was behind
two rows of celebrities who were doing
guard duty along the edges Of GRIM
son carpet which ran from the hotel
steps to the curb. The reception COM
mittee, or part Of it, was standing in
the hotel door, waiting to give the gen
eral the gladstone hand.
Ochiltree watched until the general
and Mrs. Grant had stepped from the
carriage. and then he bulged through
the line He rushed down the crimson
carpet, shook heartily the hand of his
old friend and, offering his arm to
Mrs. Grant, marched proudly through
the rank and file of the leading citizens
into the hotel. The mob outside de-
manded a speech from the general.
and, constituting himself committee
of one, Colonel Ochiltree appeared with
him In the hotel balcony and intro
duced Grant as one Of his best, truest
and bravest friends. This was the last
time the men in Galveston tried TO
snub him at social function.
