Railroad Regulation.
(From the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers Journal MAY. 1907


(F'rom the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers Journal, May, 1909
The congressional committee author
lied to investigate railroad practices
so as to give the senate more informa-
ton when the Esch-Townsend bill,
passed by the house, comes up at the
next session, probably in October, be-
gan their inquiry on April IT. We be-
lieVe the Esch-Townsend bill will have
to be very much modified before it can
pass the Senate; but every subdivision
of the B. of L. E. in the States should
take an interest in this subject, which
they ought to feel is very near to them.
for the interest of the railroads in a
large sense is their interest; not that
it would result in the reduction of
wages, but would, in all probability,
deter any advance and would likely
make it more difficult to sustain what
we have, and it would be a good move
either to see or write each congress
man or senator, and express disapprov-
al of any measure which would take
from the railroad management the
rate-making power. Let the law be
amended, if necessary, to give the COM
mission power to cure such evils as are
complained of, and give it unqualified
authority to enforce the interstate com
MERGE law.
1t is very difficult for layman to
see wherein the government can in
fringe at will upon the liberty of con-
tract of ailroads in the interest of the
shipper, when there can be no legal
restriction placed on bakeshops in the
interest Of the journeyman baker or
the public.

are particularly subject to the attacks
of these insects, but they also infest
corn, peas, beans and other crops and
when appearing in large numbers are
most difficult to combat, says the
Prairie Farmer The beetle hiber-
mates and in the early spring deposits
it's eggs on the ground, the larvae from
which burrow in the earth and destroy
the roots of the plant. To get rid of
the pest the planting of trap crops of
early squash is recommended, these
being either sprayed or busted with
arsenical poisons, so that by the time
the main crop is planted and above
ground the insects will have been de-
stroyed. Paris green may also be used
on the crops infected with much sue
cess.

Woman Tells How She Has Become Well
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.

a W OA1dn AGllS E1OW SnG HAS become NK91N
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed, is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other OF the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.
' For four years. " said Mrs. Davis re-
Gently, t'I suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every month, ao-
companied by fainting spells, snortness
of breath and severe pain in my left side.

and my head was full of ringing sounds.

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(SpeciaD-
That rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad,
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
of her cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The first
year l could not do as much as a baby
could do; then / rallied little bit and
then a relapse. Then year ago the
govt set in my hands and feet. l suffered
untold agony and in August, 1903, when
my husband died, l could not ride to the
grave.

DIME NOVELS WORKED
f. THIS BOYS DOWNFALL

Delano s iconoclastic marshal has cut
short the romantic career Of Victor
Clark, a 15-year-old boy. whose head
was turned by the reading Of dime
novels of the yellow-back class. Young
Clark started out from Minneapolis
last Sunday night as horsethief. The
result Of his short career as "bad
man. will besa trial on charge Of
horse-stealing preferred by Walter B.
Piers, proprietor Of the Globe laundry,
18 West Twenty-sixth street.
Young Clark went to the laundry
barn Sunday night and took horse,
buggy and harness and left the city.
His parents reported him missing. Mr..
Piers reported a horse and rig stolen.
Detectives were detailed on the case,
but no trace Of either the lad or the
horse were found until word was re,
ceived at police headquarters last
night that the marshal at Delano
MINI. had arrested young Clark, whom
he found asleep in a barn. A horse
which he had ridden into the village
was held.
The police notified Clark parents
who live at 1882 Fifth avenue S, and
arrangements were made to send him
a ticket to return home. At that juno
ture Mr.. Piers interfered and said he
would prefer charges against the lad
for stealing the horse. Instead OF
sending a ticket for the truant, Detec-
tive Michael Neary was sent for him
and will bring the lad back in custody.
The police do not know what Clark
has done with the buggy and harness!
but it is thought that he must have sold
them to a farmer or left them by the
roadside between Minneapolis and Del
ano. A man will be hired to bring the
horse back. s:

1000 CARS OF
WHEAT ARE SOLD
Nearly 100000 Bushels Change
Hands in a Single
/, Deal.

4 81
One Of the largest transactions ever
recorded in the Minneapolis grain trade
was made today, just before the close
Of. the market on Change. The F. II
Peavey company sold, in single trade
about 1000 cars of wheat to single
purchaser, said to be the Washburn
Crosby company. The transaction was
for cash.
Details as to prices, grades, and terms
of delivery, were unobtainab1e, and esti
mates of the quantitl that changed
hands varied from 100000 to 100000
bushels, the latter figure being probably
nearer the truth. The wheat is in thu
big terminal houses Of the Peavey com
pany in Minneapolis.
Two differences could be drawn from
the transaction; one, that the mills ART
doing a big -four business which does
not show in the daily reports, being fo1
future delivery; the other that they fea:
a scarcity Of good milling wheat late
in t. be season, and are getting ready tx
meet it. -.
