CONSIDER A LEADER
Railroad Club Committee Talks
of Cal 6. Stone

The St. Paul railroad men who have
been seeking the preliminary steps to-
ward the organization of railroad
club had another meeting yesterday in
the offices of the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis. Reports were submitted cover
ing the work of sounding the local
fraternity on the subject, and these
were uniformly favorable to the forma-
ton of the club.
The committee cast about for an
energetic leader to take charge of the
preliminary work and the formation of
the club, and several names We're con-
sidered. Cal. Z. Stone was one of
the men spoken of, and while the meet
ing was secret, several of the members
said afterward that Mr.. Stone would
probably be rendered the honor.
The charter of the Cleveland club
and other documents and data bearing
on the subject of the formation of such
an organization as is contemplated are
expected today. Another meeting of
the committee will be held Friday or
Saturday of this week.

MAY DIE FROM GAS
DR.. Spring Asphyxiated While
Working in Laboratory

DR.. w. p. Spring, coroner and practi-
toner of many years standing, was over
come by the fumes of gas in dark room
in his laboratory Sunday afternoon and
has been al the ST. Barnabas hospital in
an unconscious condition ever since that
time. He seemed to rally yesterday
morning, but a relapse occurred, and al
though physicians have given him con-
slant and close attention ii is feared that
there may be fatal termination AT
midnight his condition was said TO be
critical in the extreme.
DR.. Spring went TO his Office Sunday
morning for the purpose Of developing
some X-ray plates, and did not return at
noon as ne was expected Telephone
calls failed to bring an answer, and late
in the afternoon his son Arthur went 10
the Office at 32S Nicollet avenue. He
DR.. Spring. The dark room door was
locked and a policeman was called The
door was forced open and DR. Spring was
found lying on the floor and the fumes Of
Illuminating gas filed the small apart
ment He was hurried to the hospital
and physicians summoned
The theory OF his friends Is that in some
manner ne opened the gas while at work
with the plates, and before he noticed the
incident he had inhaled enough gas to
render him unconscious. How long he had
been in the room is not known TO any OF
his friends, but from his condition when
found it is believed he had been there
for some time.
Dr. Spring is 81 years of age. and a
graduate of the Harvard medical school
of the class of 1870. He was coroner for
several terms and then retired TO private
pra ctice. He is surgeon for the 500 Line

RAILROADS RACE FOR
BLACK HILLS PRIZE
Northwestern and Milwaukee
Rush to Build Through
the Bad Lands

A race to the Black Hills country of
South Dakota between the North
Western and the Milwaukee roads is
attracting wide attention in the rail-
road world. Under present conditions
1t is necessary to go from Deadwood
to Pierre or from Deadwood TO Mitchell
via the North and Milwaukee.
respectively. by making a detour TO
Omaha and then northeastward to
either OF the rival cities.
The distance from Pierre to the
Black Hills is about 200 miles, and
from Mitchell TO the same points a
trifie more as the crow flies.
Both lines have had their eyes open
for available routes into that territory
for a long time, and the Northwest
ern years ago surveyed the commence
ment of a road west from Pierre about
fifty miles The project went so far
that the actual grading was done for a
considerable distance along the Chey-
enne river. but for some. reason the
grade was not finished all the way
through.
This spring the Milwaukee has
been very active on the White river.
which is about seventy-five miles
south of Pierre. A corporation called
the White River Valley railroad COM
pany was organized, with several of
the Milwaukee officers as directors, in
connection with local capitalists, and q
survey along the White river was hur-
riedly made.
Grading work and active prepara-
lions for tieing and ironing the right of
way have been pushed with feverish ac-
tivity. and dispatches yesterday say
that the bridge across the Missouri, at
a point directly west OF Mitchell, is
about TO be built TO further the work
of construction.
The North Western is already at the
river at Pierre, ard while the grade
for fifty miles west is finished. ii has
been used as a wagon road for several
years. The surveyors of the North
Western are at present in the Black
Hills seeking an entrance to Dead
wood.
The Milwaukee engineers are about
to bridge the river and proceed with
building. and as the northern road has
the advantage of a constructed grade
for fifty miles, both roads are on a
practically equal footing as far as get
ting into the hill country is concerned.
The country that will be traversed
by both lines is a part OF the section
known twenty years ago as the bad
lands. 1t is cattle raising country
and where ranchers have taken up
lands 1t has been found to be fertile
and productive.
II is said In railroad circles that the
probabilities point to two more roads
at Deadwood before snow flies.
Taken in connection with the per-
sistent reports that the Milwaukee is
preparing to construct a line as far
west as Helena, Mont, Ii is considered
likely that Deadwood will eventually
be a division on the prospective road
of which Helena will be the western
end for the present.

why do work and worry and excess and

CONSTITUTIONS and make men and women
worn out and run down and restless and
sIeepless and discouraged and morose I?
Because they weaken the, tiny. tender
nerves on which life itself depends
Not the nerves you ordinarily think
about-not the nerves that govern your
movements and your thoughts.
But the automatic nerves that, unguid-

your heart in motion-control the diees-

These are the nerves that worry wears
out and work breaks down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing or
gan-the, irregular heart-the disordered
liver = the rebellious stomach = the de-
ranged kidneys. They are not to blame
But go back to the nerves that control
them; There you will find the seat of the
trouble.
1t does no good to take stimulants and
narcotics. for theirs, at best, is but a
temporary effect which merely postpones
the final day of reckoning.

INDIAN AGENT TO
HELP RAILROAD
to Assist MiIwau-
kee in Securing Right of
Way on Reservation

The genius of Maj. James McLaugh-
lin, one time village blacksmith, erst-
while Indian agent and at present su-
perintendent of Indian agencies for
the government, has been called into
play to help railroad stretch an arm
across the prairies of South Dakota.
The railroad is said to be seeking an
outlet to the place where the sun
drops down behind the rim of the sea.
Whether this be true or not, it is said
to be certainty that the railroad is
at the edge of the Rosebud Indian
agency in South Dakota and needs the
permission of the Indian chiefs to drop
its long ribbons of steel across prai-
ries that will soon be velvety as an
Administer carpet
Maj. Mclaughlin, who had been
spending several days in st. Paul. left
last night with a party of officials of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
road for South Dakota. The veteran
Indian agent was a much sought after
man yesterday. At the Merchants hotel
he was alternately closeted with repre-
sentatives of the Milwaukee and the
Northwestern line. for the North
western is said to be q rival of the
Milwaukee in its race to cross the
Rosebud reservation boundaries in the
nght Tor western territory.
F. W. Root of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
counsel for the company, was with
Maj. Mclaughlin just before o'clock,
and it is said accompanied the grizzled
diplomat on a Milwaukee train that
left the union depot a few moments
later en- route for the Rosebud.
Maj. Mclaughlin was originally at
Devils Lake, where he had gone as
the reservation blacksmith from Il
southern Minnesota town. Mastering
the Sioux language, as though by a
special gift, he became successfully
agent at Devils Lake and Standing
Rock. Then he was made a special
agent, and for some years he has been
general agent in charge of the Indian
agencies all over the country His
knowledge of the Sioux language and
his acquaintance, with the confidence
reposed in him by the Indians, have
led TO his selection by the Indian bu-
reau as the man to make all the nota-
bic treaties with the government wards
in the last decade.
The Indians consent is necessary be-
fore a railroad may cross their reser-
walton. and with the forethought that
usually characteriZes the action of the
big railroad corporations. the Milwau-
kee has selected Maj. Mclaughlin as
the man to make the treaty with the
Rosebud Sioux that it may peacefully
| lay down the rails that will carry it
across the reservation.

VARSITY SMOKERS TO
INDULGE AT DISTANCE
Expulsion is Penalty for Those Who Puff
Weeds on Campus

Dean Pattee of the university law
school found twenty of his freshmen
proteges indulging in the solace of the
fragrant weed behind the law building
yesterday morning, and upon returning to
the classroom he proceeded to give these
hayward youths some disturbing advice.
1t is against the rules of the university
to smoke inside or in the immediate
vicinity of any of the university build
to considerable trouble in enforcing the
rule. No severe penalty has hitherto been
attached to the offense and several times
the violation of the rule has resulted in
danger TO the buildings by fire.
Dean Pattee has frequently admon-
ished the young men of his department
to carry their smoking apparatus away
from the campus, and has become exceed
ingly angry with those who persist in
breaking the rule. Consequently he laid
down the startling ultimatum yesterday
again within the immediate vicinity Of
the law building would be expelled.

GIANT LOCOMOTIVE
PROVES A SUCCESS
Milwaukee Engine Of Late Make Shows
Good Results

The new 10 ton engine now in use on
the Milwaukee has proved a success ac-
cording to the Railway Age, and has ex-
ceeded the expectation of its designers.
The locomotive was built at the shops of
the company at Milwaukee from original
designs Of ]. F. Dewey, mechanical engf-
neer of the road. and under the direction
OF Superintendent of Motive Power A. Z.
Manchester. The wide fire box type that
has been in use on the road has been dis
continued in the new engine and fire box
4l2 inches wide by about 101e feet long
has been substituted. This necessitated
placing the trailers further back from the
drivers, but the new design successfully
met this problem. The engine alone
weighs over 100 tons and when coupled to
its tender the whole locomotive is slightly
over 40 tons.
Under the old plans for building Mil
waukee engines with the wide fire boxes
the life OF the side sheets was never more
than eighteen months II is believed that
the new plan will obviate the necessity
of sending the engines to the shop for
new plates every year.
