HIDING OUT FROM GOULD.
How Section Foremen Keep Their
Required Work by Strategy.

The coming of Mr.. Geo. ]. Gould
of the Missouri Pacific, although he
invariably fits over the line without
stopping, is always a matter of great
interest to all employees, especially
those connected with track work
Mr. Gould is very observant, and a
stickler for obedience to orders.
Section men are as afraid of him
as they would be of the - said p
railroad man to a reporter this morn

iting the number of men who may be
employed on the sections, and as it
is literally impossible to keep the road

in the Country.

Wichita, Oct. 24.-The Rock Island
road has a large force of men and sew
eral work trains ballasting the main
line to the south and when the work
is completed that road will have one
of the best roadbeds in the country.
The ballast train reached Wichita
yesterday afternoon, having ballasted
the track from Harrington to Wichita.
Crushed rock about a foot thick is
being put on the road and a large
force are following up the work train
putting the finishing touches on the
work 1t is said that the work will

tenn that is not already ballasted and
will make the Rock Island an ideal
road if all plans are carried out.

NrEGAPHoNEs FOR ARTILLERY.
VIII Make Orders Audible During Drill
or IN Action.

Junction City, Kas., Oct. 24.-The
batteries of field artillery at Fort Riley
have been experimenting with differ
ent sizes of mega phones to ascertain
their usefulness in drill. Several sizes
of mega phones have been distributed
to the five batteries for a practical
test The largest megaphones have
proved unwieldy. and during the tests
smaller sizes have been found very
satisfactory. The object of introduce
ing the megaphone in this arm of the
service is to make it possible for an
officer to give a command during drill
or in action SO that it will be heard
by all the men of a battery.

MORE sTRICKERs RFTURs TO
WORK.

One Strike Breaker Beasen Nearly To
De.th. Attacking Packers Through
the Law.
Chicago, August IA break
from the ranks of the STRIKERS was
made early today, when four hun
dred of the men who had quit
work deserted the unions and re-
turned in body to the stock yards.
The packers say the stampede from
the strickers' ranks which was pre-
dicted Saturday had begun. Ofthe
400 men who returned $40 are skill
ed workmen employed as butchers
and in the mechanical trades Of the
yards. The remaining 100 are
common laborers. That hunger Is
making itself felt in the ranks of
the strickers' families was shown
sharply today when more than 1000
women and children with baskets
surged about the two food supply
depots established by the union
leaders. Women and children stood
in the sun for hours crying for food
and their pinched faces told story
of suffering.
knowledge of the fact that the
setrikers were weakening caused the
packers Saturday to send out orders
to farmers to increase their ship
ments of live stock. The result was
that the receipts today at the yards
reached very close to normal figures.
Terrific fighting between half
dozen policemen and crowd of
strlckers took piece late this after
noon in an alley near Fourth street.
The policemen triumphed and took
into custody two men who had
beaten a strike breaker 80 badly that
his life is despaired of.
Numerous other fights Of this
kind occurred during the day, some
of which assumed the proportions of
small sized riots.
