RAILROAD NEWS
BORROWED BIG SUM
Railroads Raise Money on
Short-term Notes.

Railroad financiers are looking for
ward with great interest to the COM
ing year, as during the next twelve
months many short-term notes, issued
by the leading railroads Of the country
will fall due.
No apprehension Is felt by the mon
eyed interests, but as the number and
amount of notes to mature is larger
than for many years, the way in which
the loans will be liquidated and the
obligations met will furnish an inter-
esting problem in railway ffnanciering.
During the past twelve months 1t is
estimated that more $100,000,00O has
been borrowed by the railroads of the
country on short-term notes. The rail-
ways began issuing paper in 1903 Such
an enormous amount of new securities
had been issued In the previous two
years that the security market was
found to be in most congested state
Even railroads with unQuestioned
credit found it impossible to issue new
stock or bonds to advantage. 1t was
necessary for most Of the railroads to
raise capital to carry OF he necessary
improvements, and SO recourse was
taken to issuing short term notes.
Instead of providing permanently for
the money by issuing stocks and bonds.
the railroads were forced to enter upon
the market and borrow the money for
twelve or eighteen months The idea
was that the money could be borrowed
temporarily in this way and that by
the time the notes matured the finan-
cial position would be so much improv-
ed that the railroads would be able to
issue stocks or bonds, and thus pay off
their obligations. n2 5H
The following table I shows the
amount of money the railroads have
borrowed on these short-term notes
in twelve months p

RESIDENCE PARTIALLY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Blaze Starts From OVerheated Furnace
and Does $1,000 Damage.

An overheated hot-air furnace in the
home of James Machamoore, 927 Hastings
avenue, caused fire last night which did
damage to the extent of $1,000.
The fire was discovered shortly after 8
o'clock. The flames had gained great
Roadway before the Ere department ar
rived, and for while it looked as If the
house was doomed. BY quick work the
department succeeded In getting the blaze
under control before the flames reached
the second story of the building.
The loss is estimated at $1,000, partly
covered by insurance. About half Of the
damage was done to the furniture and the
remainder to the building.

Famine

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 1.-Des
Moines and all Iowa are confronted with
a coal famine as a result Of the lockout
which closes every mine in the state and
that section of Missouri included in the
territory embraced by the affected dis

dealers today placed double rush orders
with Kansas CITY, Omaha, st. Joseph and
other neighboring cities, but it is possible
to secure 1t only in limited quantities.
Unless the situation is eased within the
next three weeks manufactures will be
compelled to shut down.
There has been no attempt on the part
gether since the split in the conference.
The miners say the situation must remain
as it is for a. period of at lesat sixty days,
when negotiations for an adjustment will
either be made or the strike will be con-

MEDICAL MENTION.

The number of medical journals in
Germany is extraordinarily large and
still on the increase. At the end of 1903
there were 230, and ten more were add
ed in the nine months following.
DR.. Edward Smallwood strongly ad-
vocates motoring as a positive cure for
sleeplessness, and also as excellent for

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
For New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Company.

The most powerful electric locomotive
In the world has just been completed for
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad in the shops OF the General Elec-
trio Company and the American Locomo-
tive Works at Schenectady, n. Y.
and fifty which will be used by the Rail
road Company for hauling the through
passenger trains within its Electrical Zone
from Grand Central Station through the
Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on the
Main Line, distance of "a miles, and to
White Plains on the Harlem division,
distance of "a miles.
This will be the heaviest steam railway
passenger service which has ever been
handled by electric locomotives. With
one of these locomotives trains of ten or
of 60 to 20 miles per hour, and the de-
two or more locomotives can be coupled
together and operated by a single en-
gineer from the leading cab, SO that the
size of the train that may be under the
control of one engineer is practically un-
limited SO far as the question of motive
power.
In general design the locomotive Is dou-
BILE ended and symmetrical in -construc-
ton, so that it can be run in either direc-
ton with equal facility.
Mounted on the main frame Of the To-
connective is the steel cab in three divisions,
in which are located the various devices
for operating the locomotive. The loco
motive is equipped for both straight and
automatic air braking, signaling devices,
bell, whistle, headlights, air-sending de-
vice, electric air compressor, ETC., being as
complete in every way with respect to op-
Grating devices as a steam locomotive.

their double vigil and the tale of dar-
ing and hardship begins again.
The sinking OF the Lady Elgin in
1860 is a tragedy fraught with thrill
ing interest. The ship floundered in
fierce gale, and the sailors, swept
by the icy surf, awaited their fate
while crowds on the shore looked on
helplessly. Youthful nerve and fear
lessness, however, conquered. On
horse and foot a number of students
made their way to the wreck and
rescued many lives. The press spread
the news over the country and the
government, taking up the matter, Of
cered to furnish the equipment and to
provide remuneration if the universe
ty would organize or sanction the or
ganiZing of a student crew.
This was the first and remains the
only university crew in the service.
The journal of the station begins with
May IS, 1879, on which day the passing
vessels numbered 44-eight barks, 80
schooners and six steamers-a mea-
ger portion of the number that are
now told in a day.
AS in every other plan, there was
need Of some reconstruction. Ere
quent changes in officers, due to the
transient character of a student body
and the natural ambition to share in
appointments, caused friction and some
disorder. Accordingly the govern
ment inspector called for a permanent
chief and advised the selection of
some fisherman acquainted with. the

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They Are
Healthy.

! Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true Of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that It
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an illustration-anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup Of Postum cof-
fee with q spoonful or two of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such combination
contains nourishment to carry one a
number of hours, for almost every
particle of 1t will be digested and taken
up by the system and be made use of.
A lady writes from the land Of the
Magnolia and the hooking bird wa,
down in Alabama and says: 81 was lee
to drink Postum because coffee gave me
sour stomach and made me nervous.
Again Postum was recommended by
two well-known physicians for my chill
dren, and feel especially grateful for
the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either
child, SO to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, l gave Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is Of consti-
pated habit.
For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, 1 use one-half Postum and
one-half skinned milk. 1 have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop of it.
"A neighbor Of p1ine is giving Postum
TO her baby lately weaned, with splen-
did results. The little fellow is thirty
ing famousiy." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich
Postum agrees perfectly with children
and supplies adults with the hot, in
MIGRATING beverage in place of coffee.
Literally thousands Of Americans have
been helped out Of stomach and nerv-
GUS diseases by leaving off coffee and
using Postum Food Coffee. Look n
