Big Damage Suit Filed Against Rock
Island at Ell Paso,

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. BIN the district
court yesterday a suit for damages was
filed by J. F. McCamy against the Rock
Island railroad system.
The plaintiff claims the sum of 100000
on account of personal injuries alleged
to have been sustained through the neg
ligence of the employees of the defend
ant.
In his petition McCamy states that
on the oath of June, 1908, he entered
into a contract with the respective COM
panies forming the system to transport
shipment of cattle over their lines en-
route from Mexico to Canada. He says
that at Herington, Kan. the stock was
unloaded to be fed on the 29th of said
month. After the animals had been ie-
loaded plaintiff alleges that while dis
charging his duties as the person in
charge of the said shipment he was
standing on top of one of the cars when
the cattle train was struck by some cars
which were being switched in the yards.
BY reason of the collision McCamy says
he was thrown violently onto a fatcar
and his spine and internal organs seri-
ously and permanently injured. He
claims not only that he will never recoN-
er, but that he may die at any time as
the result of the injuries sustained. NJ.
w. Stanton appears as the plaintiffs at
tOrney.

come around more promptly. He places
the blame on the Santa Fe agent there,
who told the men the checks were in
the Office and would be given out when
ever he got ready. The unions didn't
support the men in the strike, but did
good work in getting them back Mr..
Wilson says. Mr.. Wilson also says that
during the last 27 months the interna-

strikes and lost out in none. During
the same period the peaceful efforts of
the association have resulted in an in

Board of Health Consults With Rail-
road PhYsicians.

v
The conference between State Health
Officer Tabor and the surgeons of the
different roads in Texas has been held
at Austin for the purpose of discussing
the subject of disinfecting passenger
coaches
oped the fact that there are no regular
systems of distinction in vogue on the
Texas lines, though some of them are
more particular than others.
In the matter of busting and sweeping
cars in transit the railroad surgeons ex-
planned that cars originate at outside
points and run through to a Texas des-
tination, affording opportunity for
sweeping only at meal stations, and
using wet saWdust.
DR.. Scott of the Santa Fe favored d
practical system of disinfection, recon-
mending that the state health officer ex-

The idea of eliminating the carpet, the
curtains and the upholstery and sub
shutting rattan, woven wire and well
painted wood, rendered aseptic was ad-
vocated. At the conclusion of the dis
cussion DR.. Tabor announced that he
could not tell just then when rules

ROCKEFELLER, HIS NAME.
Signs a Statement Which soothes the
Wall Streeters

New York, Aug 13.-William Rookie
Teller did an unusual thing today by
issuing a statement over his own name
denying that the st. Paul company con-
templates issuing new stock. This had
a very wholesome effect upon Wall
street sentiment. The issuing of a new
block of St Paul stock would be con-
strued in an unfavorable light. not only
because conditions are unfavorable to
the reception of new securities, but be-
cause the action would be understood
to mean that the Standard Oil interests
were still hostile to the market 1t has
been said on very excellent authority
that the Standard Oil crowd was hold
ing this block of St Paul stock already
authorized a club over the market
There are some here who believe that
a threat to use this club brought some
body to terms.

A Story Without
q Climax ~ ~
BY BETTE L. REYNOLDS.

II was one of those rainy days in
/ autumn. with all the suggestion
Of winter in it, except that feeling OF
snugness that makes it such a pleas
ure to curl up before a wood fire and
bury yourself and your troubles in a
book, but this element being missing,
Beatrice Russell found it impossible
to settle down to a book. There are
moments when the most inveterate
bOoll-wOrm finds it hard to compose
his thoughts into an appreciatlve au-
dience for any one, moments when
they go roaming instead into the flu
ture, or back into the past, where the
ghost of ones dead self keeps ever
at ones side, and leads one on from
tomb to tomb in that burial land Of
dead hopes and broken dreams. In
to some such valley Of shadows the
tiny ghost had led Beatrice while in
reality she had been roaming from
point to point of the room, now paus-
ing to take up half a dozen books
only to slide them back into the case
with a half page read and take up
her wandering which brought her to
anchor at last near the hearth where
glowed bed of Goals. Leaning her
head against the mantel she stood
staring down at them gloOmily.
What she saw there was the story
of two lives as closely interviewer as
