Ticket scaIners Enioined.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Preparations for
a renewal of the fight between the
railroads centering in Chicago and the
ticket 'scalpers'' were made yesterday
when two bills for injunction were
filed in the United States circuit court.
The bills were filed by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western and the New
York Central & Hudson River railroad
companies, and mention as defendants
j. H. Frank, 1919 Clark street; Emil j.
Paidar, 1856 Clark street; Ben Block.
202 Clark street; J. Reeder. 446 Dear
born street, and forty-eight other
ticket brokers, calculated to include
nearly all of the brokers in Chicago.
The practice from which the rail-
roads seek relief in this case is the
"scalping" of through tickets from the
east to the st. Louis fair, with a special
stop-over privilege at Chicago.
1t is represented in the bill that this
privilege was granted at the request of
Chicago business men, and has been in
force nearly all summer. 1t affords an
excellent opportunity for the ''scalp-
ers," as many persons, imm ediately
upon their arrival here, dispose of the
unused part of their ticket, and, as the
bill sets forth. the railroads are de-
prived of a large part of their revenue.
A bill for an order restraining bro
kers from buying these tickets will
probably be filed with the clerk of the
circuit court this week. and the roads
will ask for an order to go into effect
before the fair at ST. Louis closes.

Director Predicts Trains in
Seattle i'm Two Years.
MAKE BIG STOCK ISSUE
Proceeds of Issue Will Be Used
In Building Extension.
Gossip and Matters of Interest in
Railroad Circles.

Reports that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul Railroad company is pre-
pairing to extend it's line to the north
Pacific coast are again current. a
prominent New York director of the
company is quoted as saying that Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul trains
would be running into Seattle within
two years. The steady advance in Chi
cago Milwaukee & st. Paul stock dur
ing the last few weeks also is taken as
an indication that insiders have posi-
tive knowledge that something of the
sort is on the programme. 1t is learn
ed from good authority that the COM
pany shortly will issue $2U, 900, 900 addi-
tional stock to be apportIoned to pre-
sent stockholders pro rata at par. The
proceeds, with the company's large
surplus, it is said, will be used either
to build a line to the Pacific coast or
to secure control of the Northern Pa
cific In either case the line from
Chamberlain to the Black Hills will be
built.
If new line is built it probably will
start from Evarts, S. D., near Cham
berlin, the present terminus of the Mil
waukee & ST. Paul The route from
that point to Seattle will be through
Miles City Helena, Anaconda, and
MOSCOW. crossing the Cascade noun
tains a few miles north of Mount Ia
coma. The line penetrates splendid
AGRICULTURAL and stock raising country
west of the Missouri river into the
black Hills region, section of South
Dakota that for years has been jeal-
ously watched both by the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Milwaukee & st,
Paul During the last three years large
numbers of settlers have taken up
farms in that section and are develop
ing them with great rapidity and sue
cess.
That the Chicago & Northwestern is
iS evidenced
that engineers of the company lately
have been examining the banks of the
Missouri river with a view of securing
a suitable place for bridging that
stream and entering the same section
of country the Milwaukee & St. Paul
has it's eyes upon.

Tbreatened Strike on the Erie

AS a result of the establishment of
piecework, which the unions objected
to strenuously, 5000 boilermakers and
machinists employed by the Erie rail-
road are expected to lay down their
tools and walk out within the next
two or three days. The company is
determined to maintain piecework.
Anticipating the strike, the company
has had agents in Chicago and New
York city engaging nonunion boiler
makers and machinists for the last
week. and it is said that the shops in
the various cities along the line of
the Erie system will not be shut down
a single hour when the union men
quit. Officials of the company declare
that the nonunion force which they
have gathered is entirely adequate.

New York, Oct. 20.-President Mil
ton H. Smith, of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, says that the new
direct line now under construction be-
tween Cincinnati and Atlanta, Ga, will

short line is designed to aid the l..
and N. in competing with the Georgia
Central for southeastern traffic.
1t is officially announced that the
Louisville and Nashville. company has
purchased control of the Knoxville,
LaFollette and JeIlico road at cost
of $7,2O3,o00.
This purchase includes all of the

quired all of the stock of the Newport
and Cincinnati Bridge company.

MISSING WOMAN FOUND.
Had Been Locked in Closet -Four
Days Without Food.

New York. Oct. 2O.-After a search
that began last Saturday and had been
taken up by the police of the five
boroughs of Greater New York. Mrs.
Rae Singer, 20 years old, has been
found locked in a closet within less
than a block of her home in East New
York. She had been imprisoned four
days without food or water.
While her nurse was absent Satur-
day, Mrs. Singer, who had been ill for
some time, suddenly arose and fed in
a delirium of fever. Seeking refuge
from imaginary pursuers she ran into
an unused building and into a closet
closing the door. A spring lock snap
ped behind her and she was a
prisoner.

LOOKS LIKE A BAD DEAL.
Detectives Find Chicago and Buffalo
ScaIpers Supplied With Tickets.

Chicago. Oct. 20.-Detectives of the
Central Passenger association have
found large numbers of the tickets of
certain railroads in the offices of ticket
scaIpers here ard in Buffalo. F. c.
Donald, commissioner of the associa-
ton, has called upon the heads of the
passenger departments of the railroads
involved to explain how their tickets
were secured by the scalpers. A spe-
cial meeting of the Chicago commit
tee of the association will be held next
Monday to consider the replies made
by the railroads to Commissioner Dom
AIDS questions about the possession of
tickets by scalpers.
Some of the railroads which have
apparently been supplying the scalpers
with tickets have appealed to the
courts for injunctions restraining the
brokers from buying or selling their
tickets. Thus these lines find them
selves in the position of asking the
courts to protect them from scalpers
while quietly encouraging the, brokers
to deal in their tickets. If such double
dealing is proved it is likely that the
courts will annul the injunctions
granted certain lines against the
SCalDerS.

No Union Depot for Los Angeles.

The Southern Pacific, Santa Fe ana
Salt Lake and Los Angeles roads have
agreed to disagree on the proposition
of a union passenger station in Los
Angeles, and, as heretofore, each COM
pany will, for a number of years to
come at least, maintain its own sta
ton 1t is on this account that the
Southern Pacific people have decided
to tear down their present arcade sta
ton building and erect a new $780,

building is also to be torn down and a
$4,000 three-story structure put in
it's place. The Salt Lake and Los An

soon erect a large passenger station

ROCK ISLAND FINANCES.
Present Strain on Original Company's
Resources Attracts Attention.

Resources Attracts Attention.
Details of the annual reports of the
Rock Island and Frisco railroads
show their combined surplus at the
end of the fiscal year, June so last,
was sufficient only for a dividend of
less than L per cent on the common
stock of the Rock Island Company of
New Jersey. The previous fiscal year
the two railroad systems had a COM
bined surplus sufficient to pay divi-
dend of Il per cent on the common
stock of the big securities holding
company.
During the past fiscal year in order
to meet the heavy fixed charges of the
securities holding company through
the Frisco company, and to pay per
cent on the preferred stock of the
Rock Island Company of New Jersey,
the original Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company was COM
PEELED to bear the burden and pay
dividends of s per cent. How long the
original Rock Island company can
stand such a strain, with the increase
in it's capitalization, is a question be-
ing discussed in railway and financial
circles.
The following table shows the oper-
ations in detail of the roads forming
the Rock Island system during the
mast two fiscal wears.

SAFE Cure.
Especial to the Press.)
Chicago, Oct. 10-Through an off,
cial bulletin issued from the Health
Department of this city today club
men and women generally have re-
ceived shock. and there is such q
consultation going on with doctors as
was never seen here.
Statistics show that 6 per cent OF
the residents of Chicago and other
large cities are suffering from Bright's
disease; that it is far more general
among members of both mems and
women's clubs and in high society
than elsewhere. and that a stop must
be put to the rapid pace or the disease
done-which even at present is at an
alarming rate.
Having the Endorsement of many OF
the best physicians, the announcement
has given society such a scare it is
holding its pulse tonight or calling up
family physicians for hasty consulta-
ton. The man who has been gaining
flesh steadily is certain he has the dis
ease, as is the one who is fast losing
weight, while women who are heavy
eyed and complain of headache after
late hours and wine dinners are alarm
ed for themselves.
Physicians say a halt positively must
be called on the continuous round of
rich dinners and consequent drinking.
and those who have the slightest
symptoms must begin to take Warmers
Safe Cure at once and take 1t religious
ly as prescribed, or this ailment-al-
most incurable at certain stages-wi1
get beyond all control. Figures OBJ
tanned show that women are affected
as much as men.
Why the leading doctors prescribe
and recommend Warmers Safe Cure iss
they are absolutely certain of the
merits of the medicine and the great
work it has done in the last twenty
five years in curing thousands upon
fI1o dc IF xxrnr on Ix-1lr
were doomed with Bright's disease
and other kidney trouble.
A list of precautions has been made
up by the different Health Depart
ments, which should be observed by
those who have any inherited tendency
toward the disease and those who have
any symptom of it. This list will be
sent free by mail to any one who will
write Warmers Safe Cure Co, Roches-
ter, N. Y. Look out for backache,
heaviness under the eyes, a bloated
feeling and pains in the back of your
neck. These are dangerous symptoms.
