John Faust, an Old Time
Swamper, Passed Away.
BODY FOUND IN SCHWARz'S STABLE
Death Supposed to Have Resulted
From Heart Disease-Pioneer Of
WalIa WaIIa.

Lying on the pile of rags which had
been his only bed for years with his
Faust pioneer swamper, was found
dead by Adolph Schwarz in his barn
on East Alder street at o'clock this
morning. The cause of his death is
unknown, but presumably heart failure
or old age. He was last seen by
member of the Schwarz family about
8 o'clock yesterday evening going to-
wards the barn.
Faust had been a derelict for many
years prolonging existence by odd jobs
of swamping. chimney cleaning. etc.
He has slept on a pile of rags in
Schwarz's barn for several years. For
merIy he lived in little hut but when
that was torn down he moved into the
barn and the owner let him stay there
out of pity. Years ago he used to work
for Thomas Tierney. He is probably
about 20 years old, although no one
knows exactly. He was a great lover
of animals. often keeping as many as
four dogs. but of late he has been able
to support but one, a little black and
tan fellow who was hanging about the
barn this morning searching for his
master.
The body was turned over to W. d.
Smith, the coroner, this morning, and
after making the required examination.
he turned it over to j. w. Cookery

Railroad News
BAD WEATHER CUTS
SNATH IN EARNINGS
Finances of Railroads Show
Effect of Unfavorable Traf-
fic Conditions.

The extreme cold weather of the
present season, producing unfavorable
traffic conditions, has had the effect of
reducing the earnings Of the railroads.
The gross earnings of f1fty-four COM
panies which have already reported
show a decrease of 800 per cent, as
compared with the same month last
year.
Railroad officials very generally at
tribute the slight decrease in gross
earnings in January to the unfavorable
traffic conditions existing throughout
last month. The average temperature
throughout the country during January
was one of the lowest on record. In
many sections of the country zero
weather prevailed. This interfered Sc
riously with the movement of traffic
and caused the showing in earnings
for January to make much poorer ex-
hibit than it otherwise would have.
high railroad official commenting
on the conditions existing during the
month, said: 1.-THE slight decrease re-
ported in railroad earnings during jan
uary was not due to any falling off in
traffic, but to the difficulty which was
encountered during the month in NOV
ing traffic. The weather conditions last
month were the most unfavorable we
have encountered in many years. The
zero weather and the SHOWS not only
fnterfered with the movement of traffic
but greatly increased our operating ex-
penses. The weather conditions so far
during February have also been unfa-
Vorable, and do not expect the rail-
roads to make a good showing in earn
tngs this month either.
ITO attribute the recent decrease in
railroad earnings to a reaction in trade,
as many people seemed to have done, Is
mistake. 1t is time that the volume
of traffic is not increasing by leaps and
bounds, but this was hardly reasonable
to expect. Take, for instance, the rec-
ord of railroad earnings for January.
Earnings began showing large increases
as far back as 1897, but it is only nee
esSary to go back as far as 1901 to
show the remarkable manner in which
the volume of traffic of the railroads
has expanded -ass'"
THE gross earnings of the principal
railroads issuing monthly reports in
creased nearly IL per cent in January,
1901. In January 1902, there was fur
Their expansion in gross earnings Of 9.25
per cent, and in January, 1908, there
was still further expansion Of over
$50 per cent. Now there comes q de-
crease of something over 8 per cent,
due largely to unfavorable traffic con-
ditions, and every one is talking about
general trade reaction. Railroad traf-
f1c must fall off enormously before it
even falls to the level of 1902, which
was one of the most prosperous years
the railroads have ever enjoyed. do
not expect, however, any such falling
off in gross earnings. With the opening
of the spring expect to see gross earn
ings again begin to show increases,
and net earnings also show an i'm
provement over last year.

LIVE STOCK DEALERS
Freight Traffic Managers Hear Complaints
Of Stockmen at Chicago. .4,.

q
CHICAGO, Feb. 25-7-An important meet
ing was held between the committee rep
resenting the National Live Stock assoc
citation and the Freight Traffic Managers
of Railway Lines centering in Chicago.
The members of the live stock association
have been for some time opposed to the
application of the tonnage system in the
method: of transporting live stock, the
opposition being on the ground that the
system reduced the running time of trains
and thereby caused heavy shrinkage in
the weight aud value of animals. Z SEQ
The live stock. association also asked
that the return pass privilege be restored
to bona fide, shippers and that there be
a readjustment of freight rates. The
meeting was exceedingly harmonious.
During the discussion the traffic managers
conceded that the live stock service dur.
ing the past year had not been satisfac-
tory, and that representations made by
the stockmen would be Immediately taken
up with the assurances that there would
be a satisfactory adjustment
All transportation lines running West
and South were represented. The live
stock committee consisted of w. A. Har-
ris, Kansas City; ETC. Power, Montana

AMERICA AT VATICAN
Pope Receives Archbishop Far
ley and Others.

ROME, Feb. 25.-The pope received
Archbishop Farley in private audience
today In a most kindly manner, the
archbishop having met the pontiff two
years ago at Venice and the pope re-
membering with satisfaction the par
ticulars of the meeting.
Archbishop Farley presented a letter
from Cardinal Gibbons, thanking the
pope in the name of the trustees of
the Catholic university at Washington
for the letter, issued Immediately after
he was created pope, indorsing the
resolution of the trustees to have gen.
eral collections in the United States
for the benefit of the university, the
first collections having totaled $780,
900.
The pope was most pleased to hear
of the progress made by the university.
Then Archbishop Farley introduced ex-
Mayor Seth Low and Mrs. Low, John
D. Crimmins and others from New
York, and Mrs. Cudahy and Mrs. Mid
den, of Milwaukee, Wis. The party
was accompanied by Mgr. Kennedy,
rector of the American college.
When the pope heard Mr. Lows
name he remembered him Immediately.
The pontiff greeted Mr.. Low, saying
that, although he knew he was not a
Catholic, he was a good Christian, and
gave each of the visitors his hand to
kiss
The pope afterwards addressed all,
Archbishop Farley translating his re-
marks The pontiff said he could not
adequately express the qualification he
experienced in receiving Americans in
the Vatican. America appealed to his
heart by her greatness as a nation and
her generosity as a people. The pope
gave the Americans his benediction
and extended it to the members of their
families, adding: This blessing comes
from a full heart"
While tears came into his eyes, af-
fecting those present, the pope ex-
claimed, IT must give you something"
when he gave a silver medal to each.
He also gave gold and copper medals
to Archbishop Farley and Mr.. Low.
The audience occurred in the pope's
private library. The archbishop said
later:
II feel that the pontificate of Plus
X will be a new era for the church
and especially for missionary and spir-
itual work. The pontiff seems to be a
storehouse of power which is felt by all
who approach him. His aims and his
course of action can be summed up in
the words of the motto, Restore all
things in Christ

ssOVERLAP''if5' DECISION
HARD ON SETTLERS
They May Be Compelled to Pay Twice
for Their Land.

+ ~.
VANCOUVER Wash. Feb. 25.-The
recent decision of the supreme court Of
the United States in awarding the
overlap lands" to the Northern Pa
cif1c will affect almost 1000 persons in
this county. The contested grants COM
prise all the odd sections in the north
ern and western portion of Clark coun-
ty, most of it being fine timber, graz
ing and farm land.
On this land the government has is
sued 1895 patents, and many of the
patentees have made their homes there
for years, besides improving the prop
erty. The suit has been bitterly fought
through the courts for the past ten
years and thousands of dollars had been
expended to defray the costs.
Should it be impossible to make the
company select other lands under the
lieu land act, the settlers must suffer
the hardship of buying their land over
again from the company or forfeit their
farms and improvements. -
