Fourth u ths 1yvs,i1.

The average resident Of Chicago now
exclaims with St. Paul: Il am . citi.
zen OF no mean city" Chicago's pop.
ulation at this time exceeds 1000, 900.
The canvass Just now begun by the
publishers of the Chicago directory 10
expected to show 100000 inhabitants
on the basis of the census Of 1900.
which Is believed to have been incor~
rect. Based on the census Of 1890. IL
is thought that it will show . popuia-
ton Of upwards of 100000 AveraS-
ing these two estimates, the populations
Of Chicago appears to be equal to that
OF Manhattan and the Bronx, which II
estimated as being this year z,z45. 900.
Chicago has grown to be as large ~
the old city of New York without
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond added
thereto. 1t is safe to say that she is
now the fourth city in the world in
population, coming after London, New
York and Paris.
More creditable even than this rapid
development in population is the fact
that Chicago has made noteworthy
progress In municipal reform. and In
municipal ownership Of public utilities.
with a common sense civil service law
as basis. With the latter, and that
which goes with it-an alert public
opinion-municipal ownership Is al
ways successful.

A wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, s. Dak., April 17.-Quite
4 sensation has been created here BY
the publication of the story Of G. w.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up, to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable. but
evidently from the story told by MI.
Gray, there is a remedy which viii
cure 1t even in the most advanced
stages. This Is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. Ny
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Brights Disease, hoping that would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. praise God
for the day when l decided to do SO.
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time l was
able to get out of bed and after . few
weeks treatment was a strong, wen
man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my
life."
A remedy that will cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

The Hippodrome, New York's new
est and largest place of amusement,

der the management of Thompson &
Dundy. Every one Of the $500 seats

standing space it was filed.
The performance began with the
spectacle, "A Yankee Circus OIL Mars"
The first scene showed a stranded
American circus about to be sold at
auction. 1t is bought by a Martian,
who takes n to his planet and this

numbers of mounted men on the stage.
The great hippodrome tank was util-

GASOLINE MOTOR CARS.
Success May Revoiutionize Suburban
Traffic.

Omaha, April 1S.-Railway officials
who on Sunday made a 200-mile trip in
the Union Pacific gasoline motor car
which was placed in commission by
that road yesterday, expressed the
opinion that the success Of the car will
result In a revolution Of suburban and
branch line railroad passenger and
freight service.
Sundays test OF the Union Pacific
car was the final one before placing
it in practical service between Grand
Island and st. Paul, Nebraska, where
it will make two trips daily as a branch
train.
The car, which was built purely in
an experimental way, seats twenty per-
sons, and In the forward end. where Is
located the gasoline motor. is a space
reserved for baggage. The regular
service cars, construction Of several Of
which will begin at once, will be fifty
feet long, will seat fifty-five passengers
and accommodate their luggage.
The cars VIII have q motor Of SUM-
Client horse power to haul one or two
trailers when 1t is found necessary to
use extra equipment.
Oficials Of several of the large rail-
road systems Of the country already
have interested themselves in the idea.
which will be exploited at the coming
railroad congress at Washington.
Probably the greatest feature is the
small expense OF operation. This, 1t is
believed, will be about one-sixth the
cost of operating regular passenger
trains. The idea OF railroad motor
car service was conceived by Vice
President Mohler of the Union Pacific
and the development of the car has
been under the supervision Of Super
intendent Of Motive Power McKeen Of
that road.
An Official of the road to-day said the
motor car would place railroads In fair
competition with electric suburban
lines and give small branch towns a
service equal to that OF the main lines.
Several of the cars will be placed in
service on the Pacific coast as soon as
they can be built.

New Mississippl BRIDGE

st. Louis, April 1.-THE new steel
bridge constructed by the st. Louis
Southwestern railroad over the Missis-
sippi river at Thebes, Illinois, will be
opened to traffic tomorrow. The
bridge was erected at cost Of $780,

double-track. high-level structure, the
plan involving what is known as the
fixed, through and cantilever spans.
There are five spans. The bridge is 231
feet high and 3,S07 feet in length.
The opening OF this bridge to trafiic
will cause the ferry boat to be aban-

Holly Sugar Factory.

Denver, April ia Holly, Colora-

says: Construction work on the Holly
sugar factory Is progressing rapidly.
The excavation for the main building
has been completed, and the founda-
tionS for the sugar warehouse, ma
chine shop and boiler house are well
under way. The railroad has built a
track to the factory and material and
supplies are being rapidly received
and put in place. Over 100 men are at
work.
All orders for machinery have been
placed and deliveries of same will
commence at once and continue until
all machinery is received. The time
of delivery of this machinery has
been figured so as to fit in with the
erection of the structure. as in build
ing a sugar factory the machinery is
set up first and the building is erected
around it.
In the course OF a month to six
weeks between 800 and 500 men will
be employed on this work. which en-
ployment will continue uutil the COM

TEN HOUR LAW KILLED
CANNOT LIMIT BAKERS TIME.
Decision Of United States Supreme
Court-Nothino in Character Of
the Work to Warrant
aasfrlctlon

Washington, April 18.-In an opinion
by Justice Peckham the Supreme
Court Of the United States held to be
unconstitutional the New York state
law making ten hours a days work and
sixty hours q weeks work in bakeries
in that state.
Justices Harlan, White, Day and
Holmes dissented, and Justice Harlan
declared that not more important de-
cfsion had been rendered in the last
century.
The opinion was handed. down in the
case Of Lockner VS.. the State of New
York, ana was based on the ground
that the law interferes with the free
exercise Of the rights Of contract be-
tween individuals.
The Court of Appeals Of the state up
held the law and affirmed the judg-
ment of the trial court, holding Lock
ner guilty. Judge Parker wrote the
opinion Of the New York Court of Ap-
peals supporting the law, and the court
divided four to three ON the question
of validity.
The law involved in the case is Sec
tion ITO Of the New York state labor
law, prescribing the hours Of labor in
bakeries in the state. LOckner Is a
baker in the city of Utica, and was
found guilty Of permitting an employe
to work in his bakery more than sixty
hours in a week and fined $50. The
judgment was affirmed by the New
York appellate court.
Yesterdays opinion dealt entirely
with the constitutional question in
volved. Justice Peckham said that the
law is not an act merely fixing the
number of hours which shall constitute
a legal days work, but an absolute
prohibition on the employer permitting
under any circumstances more than ten
hours work to be done in his establish
ment.
The justice referred to the excep-
tions coming under the head Of the po-
lice powers of the state and, after con-
sidering that point at length. concluded
that the present case did not fall
within the police powers.
He quoted statistics to show that the
trade of baker is not an especially
unhealthy one, and said men could not
be prevented from earning living for
their families. He concluded:
"It seems to us that the real object
and purpose was simply to regulate the
hours of labor between the master and
his employees, all being men sui juris,
in a private business not dangerous in
any degree to morals, or in any real
and substantial degree to the health OF
the employe. Under such circum-
stances the freedom of master and en-
ploye to contract with each other In re-
lation to their employment and in de-
fining the same cannot be prohibited or
interefed with without violating the
federal constitution"

In 1902 for the first time in eight
cen years, foot-and-mouth disease was
discovered in the United States. The
manner in which the contagion was
brought in is not definitely known, but
it evidently came with some articles
Of merchandise, as ii first appeared
near the docks of the port of Boston,
and spread from there toward the in
terror. When the existence of this
disease was recognized and brought
to the attention of tfJ department, the
contagion had already spread over the
eastern part of the state of Massachu-
sets and into the states of Rhode ISL
and, New Hampshire and Vermont
The whole country was menaced with
the plague, and 1t was only by the
adoption of radical measures and BY
the prompt, efficient and indefatigable
work of the inspectors that the con-
tagion was controlled and eradicated.
The plan of work was, briefly, to
rigidly quarantine all infected prem
ises and the animals upon them, to
slaughter at the earliest practicable
moment all susceptible animals on
such premises, and to disinfect the
stables, pens and utensils in a thor
ough manner Operations were begun
December 1, 1902, and the last dis
eased herd in this outbreak was
slaughtered May 9, 1908. The coop
Grafton of the executive departments
of the several affected states was
MI III thn
federal authorities TO enforce regula-
tons and stamp out the disease
wherever it was found. The number
of animals slaughtered on account of
this disease was 4,461, of which 1872
were cattle, $50 hogs and 229 sheep
and goats. There was allowed by this
department 20 per cent of the ap-
praised valuation as indemnity. The
total amount thus paid was $685.
90S.57. There were other expenses,
such as for salaries, travelling, labor,
disinfectants, etc, additional to this
amount, but the total cost of the Grad
ication of the disease was less than
100000.
The stock-raisers of this country
were saved from a great calamity by
the successful termination of this
work. 1t is the general history of the
disease ia other countries that where
an outbreak assumes the proportions
of the one which existed in New Eng
land it spreads over the whole coun-
try, affecting practically all of the
cattle and a large part of the sheep
and hogs.-From Report of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture.
