BIG GAMBLER ADVISES SMALL

They Are the Only Ones Who Bring
''Real Money into Wall Street
His Big Scheme for Suing Insurance
Companies-Dehat Trusts Would
Knock Out Present High Prices.

Thomas w. Lawson spoke to q crowd
ed house last evening at the Peoples
church, St. Paul, his audience being
estimated at 1000. He was received
with considerable enthusiasm. and his
telling points literally applauded. The
the one delivered at Ottawa, Kan,
which was distributed in printed form
at the door, but some points made in
that address were elaborated. Mr..
Lawson left at O'Clock this morning
for Albert Lea, where he speaks this
afternoon.
Governor johnson introduced Mr..
Lawson to the audience, saying that,
as he listened to. him in Minneapolis,
the fact that the man must "either
be the greatest knave in the country
or man engaged in most laudable
purpose and he was convinced that
the latter impression was correct.
Mr.. Lawson began his speech by
answering question, as to whether
there is any honest insurance. He
replied:

! I called on the policyholders of three
Of the largest companies to send me
statements Of the kind Of policies they

Of all Of the money stolen or taken from
them; estimated by myself and others at

ROCK ISLAND FISH SPECIAL.
Big Rotary Snow PIow Cleared Way
for Fish Train.

Big Rotary Snow PloW Cleared Way
for Fish Train.
It is not often in the history of rail-
reading in the west. or the east. for
that matter that a railroad orders one
of its most powerful rotary snow
pIows to run as a pilot engine and
snow thrower in front of a big freight
train to get the latter over 1000 miles
of track on schedule time, says the
Denver Post.
But this is what the Rock Island did
last week in order to put through a
train load of fish from Chicago to San
Francisco before the fish famine on
the Pacific. coast ended. The storms
along the California coast were too
much for the Italians and Chinese,
who control the fish industry there.
and they refused to go out. A fish
famine resulted with its usual accom-
paniment of altitudinous prices for the
little stock that was offered for sale.
A leading Chicago firm saw a, gold
en- opportunity to reap a harvest of
profits if a train load of ten cars of
fish could be rushed to the coast in
record-breaking time.
The Rock Island got the shipment
but when the special reached the Mis-
sissippi river, snow drifts stalled the
train. The trainmasterS and division
superintendent threw uD their hands
in despair at the situation that con-
IFOnLeQ In6m anG edch InOuBnT ne saw
a reprimand if the LAY OUT occurred
on his particular division.
The farther west the train got the
worse the conditions became. but it
remained for the division superin-
tendent at Kansas City to solve the
problem. This superintendent prompt
ly wired a message to President Win
chell which read: Must have rotary
to get fish through on time. It's up
to you
President Winchen proved quite ash
strenuous as the public believes he is |
and a quick answer from him read:
Put on the biggest rotary you have
and keep it on till the special reaches |
Denver
Denver railroad men say that never
before has freight traffic suffered so |
severely from snow blockades, both |
east and west. Snow storms and biz |
yards follow one another in such rapid |
succession that it was almost impos- |
sible for the roads to be kept open |
for any lnegth of time. Since the |
weather began to moderate, however, |
freight traffic has again begun to move |
on something like schedule time, but |
it will be several days before the last
remnants of the 'congested conditions
disappear.

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
taclxs 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..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the
influence upon your general
health will be greater than you
can realize.

PASSES THE HOUSE.
Philippine Tariff Bill Goes Through
With But Little Opposition.

Washington, Feb 22.-The house
passed the Philippine tariff bill prac-
tically as it came from the committee
and with but little discussion. There
was no special opposition to it al
though amendments coming from the
Democratic side designed to put pro-
ducts in the free list met with defeat.
An effort to prohibit the importation
of opium into the islands except for
medical purposes also failed.
Immediately after the Philippine
tariff bill was disposed of the house
took up the river and harbor appro-
priation bill, but it was soon laid aside
and several measures were passed
The most important was the authori-
zation given the secretary of war to

ARMSTRONG IN LEAvENwoRTH
Old Manager of Topeka Ball Team
Goes to Orioles.

A story of a great deal of interest
to Topeka fans comes from the Leav-
enWorth Times, that Lew Armstrong
will manage the Orioles this summer.
Army" is without question a good
catcher. and can manage a baseball
team if he will. Topeka had a sad
experience with the big catcher last
summer, and according to President
Sheard he could not come back here
at any price. He left Topeka without
word or warning, and the next day
the Fort Scott papers were tut on
stories that he had signed up with the
Giants at $40 a month to manage
and play. He was recalled to Topeka
on pain of being blacklisted by Gus
Alberts, who was manager of the
Saints at that time He came back.

that and was given to Fort Scott for

story follows:
Lew" Armstrong is to manage the
Leavenworth baseball team the COM
ing season, according to the announce
ment made yesterday by the president
of the local baseball association. The
choice of the veteran catcher for this
position will please a large number of
Leavenworth fans, who have much
faith in Army" as a field captain and
handler of a baseball team He is one
of the oldest catchers in the league,
has managed three teams in the Mis-
souri, Valley, and is regarded through
out the league as good leader for
ball players.
Armstrong was in Leavenworth just
prior to the last meeting of the associa-
ton and presented his proposition to the
club owners. He offered to come at fair
price, stating that he preferred taking
hold of the good bunch of men signed up
with the locals to taking up a losing ven
ture again
The new managers record is good one.
He has been a minor league catcher for
many years. Two years ago he broke into
the Valley league and took charge of the
lola team which came out near the head
of the list that year. Last year he was
signed by Topeka late in the season of
practice. A poor lot of men to choose
from, coupled with short finances, made
the road an uphill one: nevertheless Arm

fight with Nelson. He will leave at
