RAILROAD NEWS.
Governor of Minnesota Has Been
Asked to Stop Strike.
Commercial Clubs and Farmers
Also Appealed To.
TO PROTECT FREIGHT.
Conductors Refuse to Accept
Orders by Telephone.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

st. Paul, Aug. 9.-Commercial clubs
and merchants and farmers organiza-
tons along the line of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways in Minnesota are asked to take
action to end the present telegraphers'
strike and the governor of Minnesota
has been appealed to use his good Of
flee in bringing about harmony in Or
der that business interests may suffer
no more injury. The wheat harvest
throughout Minnesota and the Dakotas
has begun and the work of moving a
big crop will, it is said, test the ca
pacity Of the roads even under normal
conditions.
The telegraphers at strike headquar-
ters seem to attach great importance
to the expected arrival of President J.
J. Hill and in his official circular to-
day President Perham says:
Mr.. j. j. Hill is expected in st.
Paul within a few days and it is
thought that he will look into the
strike situation and possibly bring
about solution of our difficulties"
A wreck on the Northern Pacific at
Brainerd today tied up that branch
for several hours. A switch engine
was on the main line and a head on
collision occurred in which both en-
gines were wrecked and the conductor
one seriously hurt.
The strikers claim the wreck was
caused by a lack of teIegraphic COM
munication.
One of the Geographic companies
whose lines follow the Great Northern
between here and Duluth was without
communication with the latter place
nearly all day. Linemen sent out are
reported to have found the wires
crossed near West Duluth, a fine wire
having been wrapped around the con-
nections of all the wires on the pole.
A special from Aberdeen, S. D., says
the strike on that branch of the Great
Northern road is over, all of the men
having returned to work satisfied with
schedule presented to them last
night.
More freight was reported moving
today than has been moved for a
week past. The restrictions on perish
able goods were removed by both
roads today, although bills for freight
consigned to some stations were re-
CURED to be prepaid. President Per-
ham denied that there has been any
serious DETECTION from the ranks OF
the strikers and says that the COM
panies are securing sufficient operators
to be of much service to them. He
denied that there was possibility OF
a general sympathetic strike on the
part of the engineers and trainmen
but said that on the Montana division
conductors and engineers had refused
to receive telephone or flag orders.

continued increase from now on. A
feeling of the utmost confidence OBJ
tains throughout the entire western
section of the country. Good crops
are believed to be assured. People are
spending money freely and are making
arrangements to indulge in still larger
expenditures. The volume of traffic
now moving is of the most diversified
character, general merchandise max
ing up large proportion of it. Coun-
try merchants are making purchases
on a larger scale than formerly, but
they are not overstocking themselves
with goods. While expenditures are
liberal, they cannot be considered ex-
travagant, under the conditions which
now obtain.

BUSH INVITED TROUBLE.
His Attack on Joint Smashers Brought
Him Grief.

what grief he was inviting when he
swore out a warrant against the women
who smashed up the joint conducted in
his building. In getting the papers he
had to swear that he owned the build

Between this and some intimations that
the young men of Industry did not ap-
prove of his arrest of the women it is
little wonder that John dismissed his

Parsons, Kan, Aug. 9.-The Sun

pearnce here of Texas fever This is
disease that works the same havoc

ard symptoms of Texas fever were
manifested. Veterinary surgeons were
Summoned and pronounced the all

Ilains. The sheriff was notified and at
Cnce Cuarantined the pasture. Efforts
are being made to prevent the fever
from spreading and it is believed that
they will be successful
The fever is supposed to be carried
from herd to herd or from state to
state by the cattle affected with the
ticks which produce the fever. The

watts have been erected in the cattle
country south where the animals are
submerged before being shipped. The
animals are dipped in oil and all traces
of the tick usually disappear. Some
times, however the treatment does not
work successfully and the cases of the
fever in this country are doubtless due
to the failure of the oil to destroy all
the parasites.
There is no need of alarm among
cattlemen as the disease is well in
hand. Efforts will be made to prevent
it's spreading and with the assistance
of all the cattle raisers in this county
it should be successful. 1t is not as
yet known how many cattle have died

Rock Island Upheld.

st. Louis, Aug. 9.-Charles A.
Brown, of Brookfield, Mo, who was a
passenger on Rock Island train in
Oklahoma in 1902, sued the company.
A drunken cowboy was elected from
the train at a station by the con-
ductor. The cowboy retaliated by
throwing a piece of ballast, weighing
about two pounds, through a car win
dow. It struck the plaintiff on the
back of the head, rendering him I'M
conscious. The plea was that the
company did not take sufficient pre-
caution to protect passengers. The
court held that the act was unfore-
seen, and ordered a verdict in favor
of the railroad company. This was
affirmed.

Pain in the
Head

Is a danger signal, warning
you that the brain nerves are
exhausted-irritated, and are
undergoing an unnatural strain.
Frequent and prolonged at
tacks of pain weaken the gen
erative power of the nerve
cells of the brain, and lead to
loss of memory, melancholy,
sPasms, epilepsy, and frequent
ly insanity.
When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable to
supply sufficient nerve force
to the nerves that control the
lungs, heart, stomach and
other organs, and these organs
are thus robbed of energy, and
unable to meet the demands
upon them,and they get sick.
Stop the head pains with DR..

THE FRISCO WILL BURN OIL.
Tests Were Successful and Engines
Will Be Equipped With Burners.

The Frisco system has experimental
with burning oil in its locomotives and
it is satisfied with the results. The ex-
pertinent was conducted in the west
bottoms of Kansas City according to
the plans drawn up by George A. Han
cock, superintendent of motive power
of the Frisco system. 1t was estimated
that the oil could be used at a saving
of $1.69 per day, such including only
the cost of the fuel and not the saving
in labor. hTe oil which was used was
the crude oil just as it comes from the
wells. 1t is stated that the thirty en-
gines now in use at Kansas City will
be converted into oil burners as quick
ly as possible. A storage tank with a
capacity of $4,000 gallons is being
built near the Frisco round house and
the Standard Oil company will pipe oil
to this tank.
The equipment of the engine is as
follows:
In the coal tender is an iron tank
with a capacity of 900 gallons of oil.
tank full will run the engine con-
tinuously forty-eight hours. The oil
passes through pipe underneath the
firebox, the flow being controlled by a
lever within reaS of the engineer.
Before being elected into the firebox
it is subjected to a heating process
which makes it highly infiammable.
Just beneath the slot where it enters
the f1rebox is a steam jet upon which
the oil drops and is converted into
vapor that burns fiercely. The heat
attained is said to be greater than is
possible with coal as fuel.
