Grand Forks N. D., Aug. 4--No

or express companies OF the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific lines,
but limited amount of freight is be-
ing shipped. The freight charges are
prepaid in all instances, and the goods
are accepted subject to delay in trans
portation and solely at the risk of the
shipper. There are no agents at most Of
the stations on the lines leading out
from Grand Forks, and the Shipments
are loaded On the platforms and left
there by train crews, the consignee
being expected to look after it after it
has been unloaded. ~
Passenger trains are running Just as
nearly on time as they do when every
station has an operator engaged, and
some few freight trains are being
moved, but with a greatly REDUCED ton
yet been made to fill the places Of the
strikers in this city or in East Grand

Heroic efforts are being made to
keep important places on the Great

Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Mimi, Aug 4.-The dis
playing Of red signals. at all stations
along the Great Northern where agents
and photographers have gone on strike
has caused trouble to tn ainmen and has
resulted in general order s from division
headquarters here to disregard all sig
nal boards and run regardless of
red = displayed at vario us points along
the road.
Every operator along the system who
gtgaea befor red sen oppn se all ali
trains approaching. Captain jerks, SUI
perintendent o fthe northern DIVISION,
toured the Fargo line with a special yes
terday afternoon for the express pur-
pose of pulling down all of the boards,
and is today out on the Cass Lake line
on similar mission. If the boards are
not pulled down the operators simply
return to the stations and again turn the
red to view.
Ali of the 'etickers'' on the northern
division with the exception Of Crook
ston, Red Lake Falls andAS st. Hilare are
quiet today, and the trains are being
run without orders. No attention is
paid to- signal boards, and time is being
maintained in accordance with the
schedules. From this city to Cass Lake
and to St. Vincent along the Winnipeg
said to exist. From here to Fargo both
agents and operators have quit, and the
Thief River Falls agent is out. From
the latter place to Greenbush phone
system is in use and orders are being
transmitted by that means.

Special to The Journal. !.
Helena, Mont, Aug: "A !, report
reached the headquarters Of the strik-
ing telegrAphers here late last night
that the operator at Basin, a small
mining town on the Great Northern,
between Helena and Butte, had been
compelled to leave his post Of duty
under duress.
The story, as it reached J. J. Dermo-
DIV. Fourth Vice President of the Order
Of hallway Telegraphers, who has
charge Of the strike in Montana, was
that body Of miners had called upon
the operator and demanded that he
quit. The operator declined, where
upon a rope was produced and he. was
Informed that he must either quit or
withstand the rope. The operator ac-
quiesced and the Basin office is dark.
There is no way Of verifying the re-
port absolutely, but it is given Gre
dence in telegraph circles, as the min
ers are very strong union sympathizers.
At Clancy the relief operator was
unable to secure either board or lodg-
ing, and has been taking his meals in
the superintendent IS car: The same is
reported of other stations on both
roads, including Hope, Idaho, where it
! was found necessary to close the office.

Nearly a Collision.

A casualty was narrowly averted
the other evening and as it was James
Trevor, driver for the hose wagon OF
the Central fire department, had an eX-
perience that he will not care to have
repeated again in his life. 1t was only
by a clever piece of driving that an
accident was avoided which would
have doubtless proved fatal to him and
the team of blacks. At O'Clock the
fire whistle sounded the alarm of "A
and the chief closely followed by the
trucks sped up Fifth avenue The
hose wagon approached the railroad
crossing headed down Fourteenth
street for Third avenue. AS the wag-
on approached the railroad crossing
Mr.. Trevor glanced hastily, as he has
done many time before, TO see if a
train was approaching. He did not
see one, and as the south gates were
up he thought the way was clear. The
north gates were down, but he did not
notice this. The team was on the
dead run and just as they we're about
to cross the track a c.. B. & Q. switch
engine pulling six or eight cars, block
ed the way The engineer did not see
the fire wagon but the driver shouted
loudly, which attracted his attention.
The engineer Immediately threw the
throttle wide open in order to clear
the track as soon as possible. Mr..
Trevor was struggling frantically with
the reins to stop the fight of the
horses. With a mighty effort they
were brought to a stop. hardly two feet
from the swift moving cars. Here
they stood and waited until four cars
passed before they could continue on
their way to the fire The blaze was
minor one, the water tank at the
Wright Buggy Box company having
caught fire.

DAVENPORT DOTS.
Dauuhter Rereaved.

That she had just received word
from ST Louis of the death OF her
husband. was the sad news that Mrs
John Herald. of st. Joseph. Mo-, tele-
graphed to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Jacob Brandt, of 922 West Second
street. MI Brandt left at once to meet
Mrs. Herald in st. Louis. As no de-
tails were given, the nature of the prob
able tragedy that had cost the son-ln-
laws life was unknown TO him, and it
was probably unknown to the wife
when she sent the telegram. A tele-
gram from Paducah. KY, brings the
following details: "Paducah. KY, May
3.-The dead body of who is supposed
TO be y. j. Herald of St. Joseph, Mo-.
was taken from the Ohio river near

checks for his overcOat and book Of

COLD NIGHTS CAUSE cArARRH
Everyone Should Use Hyomei and
Kill the Germs

No other season of the year is re-
sponsible for as many cases of catarrh
as spring. The warm days and cold
nights, with frequent and sudden
changes in temperature bring the ca.
tarrhal "snuff1es" to nearly everyone.
The best physicians long ago saw
the folly of taking medicine into the
stomach to kill catarrhal germs in
the head and throat. Air alone can
reach these germs, and today the most
successful physicians prescribe Hyo-
mel, when breathed through the pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
penetrates to the most remote cells
of the air passages and respiratory
organs. II searches out and kills ca
tarrhal germs in the head. throat and
lungs, sOothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane, and absolutely
drives catarrh from the system.
Thousands of testimonials like this
of Capt. Cameron, in charge of the
Salvation Army at Berkeley, Cal, attest
to the speedy relief given by Hyomei.
Capt. Cameron writes: Il have been
a sufferer from catarrh of the throat
for a number of years, so bad that
could not speak so as to be heard at
any distance. The first use of Hyomei
relieved me, and I believe that it has
given back to me the good voice l had
in years gone by
The complete HyOmei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes an in
haler and sufficient Hyomei for sew
eral weeks treatment. You take no
risk in buying Hyomei. H. o. Rolls
absolutely agrees to refund the money
if it does not give satisfaction.

Much Money to Spend.

Moline city fathers will have more
money to spend this year on special
improvements than the city has ever had
before. 1t is estimated by City Clerk
Carlson that after all the regular ex
penses are paid $4,000 will be left to
spend on whatever the council shall
see fit. Among many things which
will be affected favorably by this sur
plus on hand is paving. The city pays
$500 for every street intersection. so
that if the property owners want the
paving the city can certainly afford
to give ii to them. Last year not quite
$4,000 was on hand for special i'm
provements. Not only will the paving
come in for part of this fund but the
purchasing of a park may be brought
about or the laying of an intake pipe
to the channel

The Sisters of Mercy have entirely

building on the corner of Eighth and

to be christened st Mary's Home"
The renovating and refitting has been
the result of the sisters desire to con-

of the sisters to afford the comfort and
protection of the home for young wo-
men employed in the city, who have

May Build Hotel.

4 meeting was held in George
Schwenke's place in Bettendorf last
evening to discuss the project of buI d.
ing a hotel in that city. 1t is thought
that the project would be a good one,
owing to the fact that there are now
great number of men working in the
shops who reside in Davenport and go
back and forth to the shops every
morning and evening. The ability to
secure lodging in Bettendorf would be
a great saving for them.
