power in this way 1t is using it today
as it ever did.
Mr. Rockefeller may deny that re-
bates are now given to the Standard.

SUICIDES In PAIRS.
Two Men Kill Themselves in One
Hotel on Same Day.

Cleveland, O.. March 29.-Henry L.
Woodward, an attorney of New York
city and Charles A. Brouse of Wads-
worth, Ohio, a travelling salesman com
mitted suicide in their rooms at the
Hollenden hotel some time during Mon
day night or Tuesday. The coroner
verdict in each case gives dependency
over domestic and business troubles as
the cause of the suicides. Each man
had used a pistol and had sent a bullet
into his head in almost the same spot,
death in each case being instantaneous.
SO far as is known there was no agree
ment between the men to end their
lives.
Coroner Siegelstein said that a num-
Der of letters had been found in Wood
wards possession from his wife which
showed that Woodward evidently had
been suffering from dependency. The
letters were affectionate in tone and
pleaded for Woodwards return home
and for a reply to the letters. Wood
ward was an attorney and had been in
partnership with Robert P. Cummings
al 81 Liberty street, New York, the
two forming the law firm of Cummings
& Woodward. The partnership had
been dissolved some time ago and
woodward became a travelling salesman

court and a brother-in-law of Nevada

100000 to the American board of

pointed at a meeting of Congregation
al clergymen of Boston and vicinity to
protest against the acceptance of the
Rockefeller gift.
Dr. Barton said that the report of
the subcommittee on the question of
accepting the gift, not withstanding
the protest, was unanimous, although
he would not disclose in any way the
nature of this report.

has already been received

BAT MAsrERsoN INSTALLED.
Former Plainsman Now a Deputy
Marshal in New York.

New York, March 29.-William B.
MastersOn, known as Bat Mastersons
has been sworn in here as a deputy
United States marshal. He was recon-
mended for the appointment by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Masterson said he
hoped to make a good record in his new
place. incidentally, ne expressed the
opinion that there is more carrying OF
concealed weapons in New York than
in the west.
"Out where I come FROM" he said.
"a man does not carry a gun unless he
wants to use it. Out there the game is
to leave your gun at home. Then when
a fellow draws a bead OH you, you can
throw up your hands and show him you
are unarmed. He won't shoot if you do
that.
But here in New York every little
sneaking son Of a gun who has got the
price of a pistol buys one and carries
it. You can't go into a restaurant or
cafe in this town without seeing a dozen
cheap sports with guns twisted in their
hip pockets. Why, they couldn't get
'em out in an hour, and if, by hard
work, they did manage to yank out one
Of these toy pistols they couldn't hit
their mark. Where there's one murder

MOTIVE POWER ON NEW LINES
George Gould Purchases a New Char
acter of Locomotive.

acter of Locomotive.
It is reported that George J. Gould
has just ordered a locomotive for use
on the Denver & Rio Grande system
that is expected to revolutionize the
transportation system of the west
The LOGON olive is said to be a power
house on wheels, but is firelesS, smoke
less and waterless. Tt needs no coal
drops no ashes and throws no sparks
or cinders. The builders say, provided
a clear track could be secured it could
handle a 1000 ton train from Salt
Lake City to Denver without a single
stop There would be no stops for fuel
or water, for it carries enough fuel for
a 5000 miles run and requires no
water for steam.
The locomotive viii use a combfrla-
ton of compressed air power, fuel oil
power and electric power. It is to
be an application of the Dissel type of
engine to locomotive use
Stripped of the technicaIities, the
principle of this engine which Pueblo
ans may have the opportunity of see
ing, is described by an engine man as
follows:
Its action is what is known as the
four stroke cycle. There is a COM
pressed air reservoir from which the
power is obtained for starting. This
gives the piston its first stroke when
it takes in affair alone at atmos-
pheric pressure and temperature. the
second stroke congresses this air to a
high pressure and to a temperature of
1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The third
stroke is what is known as the work
ing stroke.
"At this point oil is sprayed into this
hot incandescent air. the amount be-
ing regulated by governors. During
the first part of this stroke the com
bustion of this oil is carried on at a
constant pressure for a period depend
ing upon the amount sprayed in. The
second part of the stroke is practically
an expansion without tranSference of
heat. The fourth stroke exhausts the
gases.
1.-THE only fuel used is the crude oil
that costs from three to five cents a
gallon. Petroleum or any kind of
crude oil can be employed. The cost
per horsepower is said to be less than
half that for steam
Already one of these engines is be-
ing tried on the Southern Pacific rail-
road. 1t is reported that Mr.. Gould
will first test one of them on the Rio
Grande system between Salt Lake and
Denver, on account of the condition
of the country between these two
points Should it prove a success it is
possible that this class of engines may
be installed on the Rio Grande system
where steep grades are encountered.

TIGHT FoR CONTRoLL.
Express Companies Struggle for Con-
tracts of Salt Lake Road.


Los Angeles, Cal. March 29.-Inf7u-
ences controlling Wells. Fargo & Co.
and the Pacific Express company are
contending for the fat contract on the
new San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad, and II was stated that
the matter had been referred to Senator
Clark and f. H. Hartman in New York
for decision.
President Hartman as head of the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific and
other roads, is known to be partial to
Wells, Fargo & Co, in which property
he and his financial principals have
large interests. Senator Clark, on the
other hand, has no such alliances, and
as the Pacific Express company now
does business on the eastern ends of the
Clark road, its jurisdiction may be ex-
tended to include the entire length of
the new Los Angeles transcontinentaI
road. In the event this is done the Pa
Give Express company will have an out
let to the Pacific coast for the first
time in its history.
Wells. Fargo & Co. control the ex-
press business on the western divisions
of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad, and this advantage will
not be relinquished without a bitter
struggle. The contract in question is
worth a large sum and it is expected
here to go to the highest and best bid
der. There is a prospect that the Clark
line may establish its own express bust
ness along the lines of the Great North
ern and the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
ways.
Western Union influences have signed
a long term contract with the Clark
road, and that company will have a
monopoly of the telegraph business on
the new railroad for a number of years.
The bidding for the privilege was spirit
ed and for a time the Postal had a
chance of securing the plum. Standard
Oil influences that own extensive hold
ings in the Gould telegraph monopoly
won the day and the Western Union al
ready has begun sending railway bust
ness to and from Salt Lake City and
stations for the new rail-
road company

Medical Advice for Old and
Young.

Everybody writes to DR.. Hartman
for medical advice.
Grandmothers write when they meet
some difficulty that the family physi-
clan cannot overcome
Mothers write when omething hap
pens in the household that battles their
skill, and about which the doctor does
not seem quite clear.
Even the children write to DR..
Hartman.
In our files are many curious letters
from the little folks asking advice
and seeking counsel of the great dis
coverer of Peruna, the worlds re-
nowned author of books and pam
phIets on catarrhal diseases.
These letters are carefully answered
by confidential clerks and assistant
physicians.
OF course, there are so many of
them that it would not be possible for
DR.. Hartman to see them all, but
whenever such a letter comes it re-
ceives careful attention, and an an
swer that is sometimes vastly more
valuable than many visits from the
doctor, or much money spent in
drugs.
