HORN SAYS THERE ARE .s.
NO TRAIN LOCKADES

St Paul, Aug. q = At noon today
General Manager Horn Of the N. r.
made the following statement: 7
= I'm response to President Perhanl's
strike instructions the teiegraphers on
the Northern Pacific went out at mid
night last night. On the divisions of the
system many operators have left their
keys. This situation has not, however,
tied up traffic at any point on the
Northern Pacific system. Passenger
trains over the entire line are running
this morning very close to their sched-
ules. The North Coast Limited which
left st. Paul yesterday, is ON time, and
the Limited due in, St. Paul this aft-
ernoon is also on time. The night ex-
press to the Pacific Coast, Train No. s,
which left St. Paul at 1oI5 last night,
was: on time at Staples this morning. The
strike has, interfered to some degree
with the movement of freight over the
system, but not in such proportions as
to produce blockades or serious con-
gestiof. The movement of freight today
is,Sof course, slow and tedious, because
it has been necessary to adopt methods
of handling traffic somewhat different
from those generally used but the
freight trains. are moving and the deliv-
cry of freight at destination is not SER.
iously interfered with. Telegraphers at
headquarters in St. Paul obeyedS the
strike order and went ottt. Wires are.
still working at headquarters Offices
however, and communication is
being maintained with the west
end of the. system. The refusal Of,
the men to remain at their keys is an
Inconvenience, but the business of the
company is being handled just the same.
in a fairly satisfactory manner, subject,
only to iflconveniences. On the SUI
perior division including the head of the,
lake lines, some operators are out, yet
passenger trains are moving on time
and freight trains are being handled
subject to some delay. On the. ST. Paul.
division men are still at work between
ST. Paul and Staples, and passenger.
trains are moving on time. Freight

BOYS WERE TOO YOUNG
FOR DEATH PENALTY

Chicago, Aug. Life 5entences were
imposed by Judge Albert S. Barnes on

berries committed last May. George

der of Mike White. Thomas Kelly, 20
years, and Thomas Sherwin. I8 years,
his companion, were given life terms

Before sentence was passed there
was presented the unusual spectacle of
judge and prosecutor debating in open
court the advisability of hanging the
boy murderer The prisoner was un-
moved when Judge Barnes finally said :
''He is too small to hang. SO / will
send him to prison for life" e.

ALL LOCAL EMPLOYEES
EXCEPT ONE ARE OUT

/ There is little doing in the railroad
telegraph Offices in Fargo. Every man
rs out except the managers, with the
exception of one man in the N. p Of
.tlce and just why he won't go out the
photographers can't understand and he is
very reticent. He was assisting Man
.ager Fichtl, but they have very little
TO do. The block system between St.
Paul and jamestown is helping some in
aiding the traffic department to run
trains as men have been installed to
Operate the telephones where that SER
vice exists, but through messages can
not be transmitted as every other Of
fee is cut out under the block system
method -
On the G. N. there is one man work
ing on the Breckenridge division and
one on the Northern division. 1t is
stated that the men are all out, except
managers at division points, and head
.quarters.
/, Belated passenger trains were the
rule this morning, but delays were
more general on the N. p. On the
latter road the east bound Limited
reached the city about an hour late and
she was held hereoVer her allotted stop.
West bound trains were from one to
more, than three hours late, the delays
being attributed to the inability to OBJ
tain orders on the road after midnight.
HE west bound coast train ran in two
sections on account of heavy park and
exposition traffic. The first section ar
rived at o:25 a. m. The Southwestern
train did not leave until 1890 a. m. !,
The report Is that freight service is
all demoralized. The outcome of this
has already begun to cause local ship
Epers some concern and they know
tina the real force of the trouble will
not }be realized until expected freight
does not arrive and reports of delays
begin to come in from the mails. ,
W Where the immediate trouble is ex-
,perienced is at small rural points
where the railroad =telegrapher was the
receiver and sender of private and
commercial dispatches fled with the
Western Union. q His going out OF
course ait once demoralized the COM
.mercial service and the. only recourse
at present, is for the, w u, to mail

Portland, Aug. For the FIRST time
|in the history of athletics the a. As.
U. has given recognition to western
athletes BY providing that the national
championship contests shall be held in
a western city. The contests will take
place on Aug. and S, at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, now in full
swing iii this city, and will give west
erns athletes a chance to show their
prowess. There. will be men in the
contests who know the game Of ath-
|letics, such as Murphy, Stagg and
Moulton have taught; men who are
world S record holders in their events,
Esuch as the Westerner Isl anxious to
see tried out, and with his own atl-

touch key. Applicants for tickets
were refused and he positively declined
to say when the train would arrive.
The operator claimed the Office was
cut out. The train finally arrived about
an hour late and came slowly in to
Fargo.
The only office between here and
Bismarck opened this morning was at
Dawson, but the operator there said
he would go out during the day.
Late this afternoon Agents Porter
and Bentley, respectively of the G. N.
and the N. P. express companies were
advised not to accept perishable goods
or money, and express freight, only
subject to delay, and only to points
where they have their own agents, and
they were advised. not to move goods
until further instructed. The agents
will govern matters to points where
they have their exclusive agents. This
rule is likely to hamper the machine
men who are now deluged with orders
for extras, and it is likely to cut off
the fruit supply after that which is ell
route has been received.

RAILROADS OPPOSE
THE WILSON ORR E2

Washington, Aug when Secre-
|tary Wilson was at Oyster Bay, he Of
fered TO tender his resignation. but the
president, with characteristic frankness
and confidence, declined to consider
the proposal, or even TO discuss ii. He
believes in the honesty of the secretary
ais well as in his desire TO correct the
abuses which have crept into the agri-
cultural department.
The trouble with Secretary Wilson
lis easily understood To begin with,
he is not high-grade executive Off
Ger, and this has put rascality at
premium. While he has been engross-
led in the great questions of depart
mental developments and usefulness
to the country at large, some of the.
linen he trusted have played him false.
A secretary Of the treasury once re-
marked that there were twenty men In
THAT department who had It absolute
Ily in their power to ruin him. The att
Itentiof1 of every cabinet officer Is large
l1y directed to the larger question Of
policy, and he must trust nearly all his
routine department matters to his
subordinates, and when, as occasional
III happens. these subordinates are
faithless, trouble comes for the cabinet
official.
Iii most cases these stsbordinates be-
long e the system and are inherited
BY each succeeding cabinet official.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling in- dicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if 1t stains the linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too ire quent desire to pass it, or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 What To Do.
 There is comfort in the Knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney reme- dy, fulftlls every wish in curing rheu- matism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects in ability to hold water and scala effects following use of liquor wine or beer, and Overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty cent and one dollar sizes.
 You may have a sample bottle of Swamp-RoOt. the great kidney remedy, and a book that tells all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail Address, pr. Kilmer & Go, Binghampton, N. Y. When writing be sure to mention that you read this generous offer in the Phoenix Republican. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, pr. Kilmers Swamp Root, and the address. Binghamton, N. Y, on every bottle.
