NEW FAST LOCOMOTIVES
 FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Three thousand miles without stop ping. and at the rate of 100 miles an hour, is the capacity of the new type of locomotive ordered by the South ern Pacific, says telegram from Chi. cago to the Los Angeles Times.
 If it does all It's makers promise, this locomotive, which is a revision of the Dissel engine, will revolutionize trans. portation. It is entirely different from anything now in use. The cost Of op. eratiug will be less than half the cost of operating the present. type of steam engines. Fuel oi costing three to five cents a gallon Is ths only fuel needed, and there is no necessity of maintain ing water tanks and coal chutes.
 The machine is known as the four. stroke cycle. There is a compressed air reservoir, from which the power is obtained for starting; this gives the piston Its first stroke, when it takes in the air, alone at atmospheric pressure and temperature. The second stroke congresses this air aud raises it to a temperature of about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. This stroke is known as the working stroke" The oil is sprayed into the hot alr, the amount being regulated by the governors.
 During the tirst part of this stroke, the combustion of this oil is carried on at a constant pressure for period regulated by the amount of oil spray ed. The seconG part of the stroke is practically an expansion, with trans ference of heat, aud the fourth stroke exnausts the gases.

Speaking of the wrecking of the News says: "The big cement pier south of the north end of the bridge, which has for days been receiving the full force of the current, but which almost everybody thought was only less solid than the butte Itself, was completely wiped out of existence. Some idea of the awful force of the water may be had when it is under stood that this pier stood on piles that were driven seventy feet into the ground, and upon these piles was a concrete foundation twenty feet deep upon which the cement pier was built"

THE COPPER SHARE MARKET
Walker Says the Big Rise In Coppers
 Is Yet to Come

Walker Says the Big Rise In COppers
 Is Yet to Come
 The current reaction in the coppers should not be mistaken for anything else than a reaction. We have not yet had the real big broad, active market in coppers that conditions warrant. Stockmarkets always recog- nize actual conditions sooner or later, and there are thousand reasons why the remarkable prosperity of the cop per producing companies must yet be reflected in copper share quotations. One of the principle reasons is that the annual reports now coming to hand show cOnclusively that such stocks as Osceola, Mohawk, Mass, Quincy and Atlantic are more than worth their present selling prices on what they earned last year when they sold their product at an average of about l3 cents per poand. In view of this, their present earnings must be such as to entitle them to sell fully 50 per cent higher. CopperS should be bought on every reaction.
 Just why copperS are going up may be illustrated by the remark of a frieud whom 1 met the other day. The gentleman referred to went into the market year or more ago aud bought A Atlantic, Copper Range, Bing' ham, Michigan, Victoria, Winona and other cOppers at low prices at the time that was begging the public to buy them for the big advances they have since made. When little profits began to show this man couldn't hold him self in restraint, but sold all out and congratulated himself over total profits of couple of thousand dollars. He could have had ten or twenty thousand just as we'll
 When I met him the other day he was buSily reviewing the days quota tions, and he anXiously enquired which of the coppers he had better purchase. I asked: "What have you got now?" His reply was: Nothing but cOughp'
 That remark truthfully Illustrates the position of the speculative public It has nothing but a cough, regret or bad taste in the mouth, and all because it sold its stocks much too soon. It has one thing more, however, and that is the biggest bank account in it's history. It sees stocks advanc- ing rapidly and steadily, and the danger is that when it finally decides to come back into the market it will come with a solemn resolve that it will never, never again sell, regardless of the profits offered.
 We are in period of great prosper ity, unprecedented dividend and in terest disbursements, good crops, a magnificent foreign market, easy money and an abundance of public confidence. Stock market prices are high, as measured by former stand ards, 0nt unusually low as measured by present and prospective and future net earnings. All the essentials are present for the making of the biggest bull market that has ever been real ized. Stocks are held by permanent investors, insiders and big spectators, and, like the friend referred to, the public has little more left than a ''cough" aud big bank account. Hemming and having and coughing will cease sooner or later, and the public will jump at the chance to buy copper stocks without regard to prices.

The Yuma Sentinel says: The Colorado river has surely been hump ing itself of late. Monday evening 1t reached 30 feet inches, the highest record since 1891. The stream, crowded to more than it's normal capacity by the Gila floods and up. river rains, has been utilizing it's old channel which cuts around old Fort Yuma to carry the huge volume of surplus water. forming a second river of no small di- mensions, and as swift as a mill-race. Monday night some 200 feet of track was washed out near Fl Rio Gal. ! where the Southern Pacific crosses the new.old river, and traffic was entirely blocked on account of the gap, through which huge volume of water is still pouring in perfect torrent.

LAUDS The MUTUALS
The Insurance Commissioner
Praises Honesty

IF all insurance companies were
managed as honestly and as safely as
are the mutual insurance companies of
Minnesota, there would be no need
for a state insurance department"
Insurance Commissioner Elmer
Dearth gave this assurance yesterday
afternoon when addressing, in the SEN
ate chamber of the old capitol, the an
nual meeting of the state association of
mutual insurance companies of Min
nesota. The sixty-five delegates pres
sent represented forty companies that
provide protection, each in it's own
class, against fire, hail and tornado.
Gov. Johnson also came in to con-
graduate the members of these COM
panles and especially the farmers who
constitute the major part of the mem
sberShlp. He had good grounds for his
congratulations. He had heard Mr..
Dearth say that the companies were
now saving the farmers Of Minnesota
100000 annually. He had heard the
announcement that not one of the mu-
tual companies had failed. He had
heard also that, through the success Of
the mutual companies, the cost of fire
insurance on farm property had been
reduced to Is cents annually for each
SlO0 flSk-a rate that was not more
than one-quarter of the premium de-
manded by the "old line' companies.
During the afternoon the convention
resolved to recommend that, whenever
any mutual company takes a risk the
amount of which exceeds $4,000, the
surplus should be reinsured in a neigh
boring mutual company. This will dis
tribute the burdens in such manner
that assessments and responsibilities
will not prove unduly large in any one
year.
p officers of the association will be
elected today before the final adjourn
ment.

FOR BRIBE
Grand Jury Questions Haskell
on the Subject

Representative Frank Haskell and
w. w. Rich were witnesses before the
grand jury yesterday, being called to
testify concerning the charge made by
Haskell that he was offered $1,000 to
make statement in opposition to the
reelection of Senator Clapp.
Haskell was before the jury for some
time, and when he came out declined to
state whether or not he had made
public the name of the man who made
the proposition to him. He refused to
make a statement concerning his ap-
pearance before the jury, other than to
assert that he voluntarily answered
the summons.
If Haskell had refused to honor the
subpoena he could not have been pun
ished. Being member of the legisla-
ture, with the body in session, Haskell
could have ignored the summons. But
he said that he was willing to give all
the facts within his knowledge, that
the entire affair might be investigated.
Mr.. Rich, who was in charge of
Clapps headquarters during the cam
paign for senator, stated before going
into the presence of the jury that he
would not be able to give any infor-
nation on the subject, particularly as
Haskell had not told him who made
the offer. Rich was before the jury
for some time, however.

TRAVELLER FLEECEO
Confides i'm Stranger With the
Usual Result

Representing himself as a railroad
engineer, Mike Lynch took a ticket
from R. J. Dykes, of Somerset, KY, at
the depot yesterday, promising Dykes
that he would get it exchanged, but
when Lynch did not return within
twenty minutes the police got after
him with the result that he was ar

mind about completing his journey and
wanted to return to his home, but
found difficulty in getting the unused
portion of his ticket exchanged for a
ticket back to Kentucky.
He inquired at the depot ticket Of

dow he was approached by Lynch, who
volunteered to assist him.
Il am a railroad engineer" said
Lynch, "and / can get your ticket
changed. Stay right where you are
and I will be back Lynch took the
ticket and Dykes waited.
After remaining at one spot twenty
minutes Dykes complained to Officer

game. The police then made a search
for Lynch, who was found at the Sher

the money he had secured for the
ticket. He was placed under arrest
and brought to the police court

MANIAC is VICIOUS
Escaped Prisoner Strongly Re-
sents Return to Asylum

After avoiding the authorities for
over four months Henry Wyman, an
inmate Of the asylum for the insane at
st. Peter, Mimi, was taken into GUS
tody last night in this city by Henry
Swenson. one Of the guards of the
asylum, and was locked up in the coun-
ty Jail.
Wyman escaped from the asylum in
the early part of September by crawl
ing through a hole in the fence which
surrounds the institution, and although
the surrounding country was secured
by the officers of the asylum, he avoid
ed capture. Last month he returned to
his home in Augusta, Wis, and told his
mother he had been discharged. He
appeared entirely rational and was al
lowed to remain until a week ago, when
he again showed signs of insanity and
was induced by his mother to come to
st. Paul. The man behaved quietly on
the way and no one would have sus-
pected there was anything wrong with
him, but when he reached the Mer
chants hotel and was confronted by his
old keeper, Wynan became a hopeless
maniac. Twice he made desperate
effort to overpower the guard and at
one time succeeded in landing vicious
blow on the guards head.
The police We're called in and Wy
man was taken to the central station.
He was quiet while at the station and
readily consented to walk over to the
county jail, but when he reached the
inside and heard the iron door clang
behind him, began to rave agaiA
1t was a difficult task to get the
man into cell and once he managed
to free one arm and struck the guard,
whom he seemed to have a mad desire
to kill, a terrific blow in the face. After
a lively tussle the officers forced Wy
man into a cell, but not before he had
landed several telling blows.
Swenson, the guard, Nsaid that Wy
man had been at the asylum over three
years prior to his escape and was re-
garded as one of the most dangerous
inmates of the institution. He will be
taken to st. Peter today.

REPORT OF DESTlTUnON
FOUND TO BE UNTRUE
Case of Desertion Discovered To Be
More Imaginary Than Real

The case of Mrs. Walter Childs, who
was reported to the Relief society a
few days ago as being in destitute cir
cumstances, has since been found to
have been greatly exaggerated.
THE case was reported to me-" said
Secretary Hutchins, of the Relief So
ciety, "by woman who claimed to
have employed Mrs. Childs to do her
washing. She said the woman had not
appeared on the day set and that on
going out to the house she found Mrs.
Childs and her aged father shivering
with the cold in freless room, and
further asserted Mrs. Childs' husband
had left her.
Upon investigation it was learned
that the case was wholly an imaginary
one as Mr. Childs has not deserted his
wife, but has contributed to her sup
port up to the present time. The house
is not shack as was described, but
substantial building and there was
supply Of food and fuel on hand"

Two people were injured and score
more badly bruised by a collision be-
tween two Selby avenue cars on
Fourth street, between Minnesota and
Robert. late yesterday afternoon.
The accident was due to the failure
OF the air brakes on one of the large
merriam Park cars to hold the ear
Whlle going down the incline On Fourth
street, from Wabasha to Robert. Two
small cars coupled together, followed
py a Merriam Park car, started down
the grade and had reached Cedar
street when the larger car arrived at
the top of the hill and started down.
Before the car had gone half block
it was evident that something was
wrong as the speed Increased every
second and the car shot past Mime
sofa street only few yards behind the
trailer of the car in front.
Panic Is Started
The trailer was crowded and the
passengers, seeing the danger that
threatened them, shouted to the mo-
torman and began a wild scramble for
the platform. A panic ensued, women
screamed, men shouted, and the wild
est confusion reigned, many being
trampled upon in the mad rush for
safety. Before the gates could be
opened the runaway car was upon it's
terrified victims and crashed into the
trailer with great force, knocking the
Hghter car off the rails and turning it
almost completely around. The pas
sengers were thrown in a tangled heap
but luckily escaped serious injury.
Charles Stiff was thrown against a
seat and his back badly strained. He
was unable to move when picked up
and his condition is regarded as seri-
Gus.
Clovis Meron was thrown against the
stove in the trailer and sustained a
fractured shoulder. The police ambu-
lance was called and both sufferers
hurried to their homes.
The passengers in the runaway car
were badly frightened, expecting every
second that the car would leave the
track and crash into some building or
tip over. They did not know of the two
cars ahead.
The rear end of the trailer was badly
crushed, but the Merriam Park car was
only slightly damaged. Some time was
required in getting the trailer on the
track again and the service was de-
layed almost an hour.
