HOW RAILROAD MEN ARE DISCIPLINED

which he was ignorant, yet which
sealed his fate.
When transient railroad man pre-
sented his letter to the clerk in the
superintendent office, the letter was
handed in to the private office of the
superintendent, who held up the pa
per and looked for the private water
mark, before reading the name of the
employe given in the words of the let
ter.
If the secret mark was all right,
the letter was read and If possible,
employment given. If the water
mark was not all right, there was
nothing doing"
System Was Successful.
Thus for years railroad men who
were incompetent and dishonest car
ried around in their pockets secret
mark which kept them out of a job
almost continually and which finally
caused many of this class to abandon
the calling altogether. owing to the
fact that they were buffeted from
road to road and only secured en-
ployment in the last emergency when
no other men were to be found.
As the general managers of rail-
roads became better organized and
could weed out Objectionable men by
more business-like methods, the old
marks were abandoned and for many
years it has not been used.
Employees are now rated by the dis

Means Probably Condensed Food.

Washington, Jan. Sit has been
decided by the naval authorities to
equip the navy with the army emerg-
ency rations and in the near future
5000 of these rations will be purchas-
ed for the use Of landing parties and
in the exercise of abandon ship" The
navy has never had an emergency ra-
tion of it's own, but 1t is the wish of
President Roosevelt that more work
shall be done by landing parties ex-
tending over several days. This, OF
course, requires some special provis-
ion in the way of food, and it is real
lied by the navy officers that nothing
better can be obtained than the emer-
gency rations which have stood the
test of practical service in the field.

Notwithstanding the fact that she was
a divorced woman, and It is well
known that the pope does not sane
ton divorces and has never counte-
nanced 1t by receiving any men or wo-
men who had been divorced. In that
latter instance several American bish-
ops sent strong remonstrances to the
vatican authorities and the result was,
that the authorities decided to restrict
the granting of audiences to Ameri-
cans to great extent.
1t has been ordered that American

NO INTERNATIONAL CUP RACE
New Turn i'm Automobile Affairs the
World Over.

Paris, Janu. 5.-French AUTOMOBILE
lists are greatly pleased with the de-
cision of the International Association
of Automobile clubs, not to hold an in
ternational cup race this year. The
decision was reached. after the dele
gates from France, Austria, Germany,
Portugal. Switzerland and Belgium
had declared that their clubs would
not take part in the international con-
test, should it be arranged for this
year,
A postponement of the International
cup race till next year is considered
desirable owing to the fact that the
development of automobile construc-
ton has at the present time reached
a serious crisis. 1t is at present in a
transitory state, from which, it is ex-
pected, an entirely new type of ma
chine will be evolved.
1t is strongly believed by many low
ers of the sport, that high speed rae
ing will become an entirely indepen-
dent branch of automobiling, an ex-
elusive side issue, reserved for a GER
tain class of audacious speed fiends,
who are willing to risk life and lihb
in their attempts to attain the highest
possible speed. 1t is not believed that
this branch of automobiling will ever
become very popular. In the first
place the dangers connected with high
speed racing are very great, and in
the second place high speed work
must, after all, remain limited to
specially constructed race courses.
The overwhelming majority of auto
mobile enthusiasts will probably de-
vote its energies to the development
of distance and endurance runs, noun
tain climbing and the attainment OF
a moderate degree of speed, suitable
for public roads all over the civilized
world. 1t is expected that by next
year the situation will be much clear
er and it will be possible to agree or
conditions of an international cur
race, which will be acceptable to all
participants.

OCEAN LINER DELAYED.
Barnacles Impeded Her Progress
Across the Atlantic.

ACROSS tI1e
This was the excuse recently given
by the officers of a big ocean liner
which reached her destination three
days overdue. The power was there,
but her progress was retarded by the
barnacles which had gathered on the
bottom and sides of this great vessle.
In referring to the matter Mr..
Brock, of Brock & McComas Drug Co.,
our local druggists, remarked, This
instance has a parallel case in the field
of medicine. 1t is old-fashioned cod
liver oil. which contains medicinal
properties capable of splendid work
as a building, strength-creating
medicine, yet on account of the sys-
m-clogging, greasy oil which 1t con-
tains its medicinal powers is imped-
ed and its value lost.
"Yet we know the power is there.
and 1t has remained for two great
French chemists to find way to sep
arate these medicinal, health-produc-
ing elements from the oil and give us
Vinol. Vinol actually contains all the
medicinal curative and strength-cre-
ating properties of cod liver oil to up
set the stomach and retard its work.
In other words, the barnacles have
been removed from this famous medi-
cine by us.
1--WE ask every rundown, nervous,
debilitated, aged or weak person in
Pendleton, and every person suffer-
ing from stubborn colds, hanging-on
coughs, bronchitis or incipient con-
sumption to try Vinol on our guaran-
tee to return money If it fails" Brock

Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 5.-No more
charming spot could have been select
ed for the meeting of the Interna-
tional conference on the Moroccan
question than Algeciras, which is a
town Of about $1,000 inhabitants, Sit
uated picturesquely on the Gulf OF
Gibraltar. only about five miles across
the bay from Gibraltar. The climate
is almost tropical and at this time OF
the year most beautiful and pleasant.
The accommodations of the town are
quite fair, as It is frequently visited
by tourists of the "globe trotter"
species, who know good hotel from
a bad one, and insist upon having
the best any city may afford. The gov
ernment has placed one of the gov
ernment buildings at the disposal Of
the conference and has made the most
elaborate preparations for the con-
venience of the representatives of the
foreign governments attending the
conference.
The conference will be formally
opened this afternoon by NJ. Paul Re
voil, the principal Frensch represen-
tative, who will undoubtedly play a
leading part in the conference. 1t is
a highly important gathering and it is
well understood, that the peace Of
Europe depends, in a large measure,
upon the result of the deliberations Of
the conference. The latter was called
at the request of the sultan of Mo-
rocco. after all negotiations between
Morocco and France concerning the
latters' demand for positive assurances
from the sultan of Morocco regarding
the security of the frontiers had fall
ed.
France was not willing at first to
consent to an international confer
ence for the settlement of questions
which, in the opinion of France con-
cerned only France and Morocco. The
matter. however, became the subject
of extensive negotiations between the
other powers and Germany took so
decided a stand in favor of Morocco,
that France finally. assented to the
holding of the conference.
The situation between France and
Germany, already strained by the an
tagonistic position taken by Emperor
William, was aggravated by the publi-
cation in France of certain dispatches
and official documents, which involv-
ed severe criticism of the attitude OF
the German emperor. To offset the
effect of the statements contained in
the Yellow Book published by the
French government, Germany pub
lished a White Book, which was prac-
tically answer to the charges and crit
icisms contained in the French yellow
Book. This added to the friction and
what aggravated the situation still
more was the fact that NJ. Rouviel
insisted upon selecting NJ. Revolt a!
the representative of the French gov
ernmsht at the conference, notwith
standing the plain hints given out By
the German official organs that NJ
Revolt was persona non grata in Ber
lin.

Culled From the Important Hap

During the Past Week and Re-
viewed in Brief.
Carnegie Library.

There will be a Carnegie library IN
Mississippi after all, and the securing
thereof is due to the efforts and spirit
of Bishop Charles B. Galloway, OF
the Methodist Church, and others, no.
tably Major R. w. Millsaps. Bishop
Galloway has returned from trip
to Washington and Baltimore, and
while in the north had an interview
with Andrew Carnegie, with whom
he had been in correspondence rela-
tive to securing his interest to estab-
lish a library in connection with Mill
sap's college in Jackson. The steel
magnate and philanthropist took kind
ly to the idea and intimated that he
would give a donation of $4,000 to
the building fund. The only condl-
ton that he imposed was that the
friends Of the college guarantee a like
amount for endowment and equip
ment. Bishop Galloway departed for
home shortly afterwards, and In the
meantime had communicated the pro-
position of Mr.. Carnegie to friends
here. On his return last night it was
found that Mr.. Millsaps had conclud-
ed arrangements to secure the home
subscription to meet the magnate s OF
fer. As a matter of fact the founder
Of Millsap's will give the required
amount out of his own pocket. The
money being secured the practical de-
tails alone remain to be worked out,
and this will not take long in the ac-
complishment, and, before many
months, it is predicted the faculty
and students of Mississippi's noted
private educational institution will
be reveling in the delights of mod
ern library building in the Carnegie
annex to the college.

NICK'S RELATIVE POISONED
A Poisoning Case in Illinois Tankles
Up Notables.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 25.-Mrs. Will
liam Anderson, who was slain by
strychnine mysteriously placed in a
cake in her home, near st. Charles,
was relative of Congressman Mich
las Longworth, husband Of President
Roosevelt's daughter Alice, accord
ing to the statement Of William An
derson, the widower. Mrs. Anderson S
maiden name was Longworth. Her
mother, Mrs. Richard Sims, was twice
married, her first husband being a
brother of Nicholas Longworth S faith
er.
Officials of Lake County and Chi
cago are working to solve the mystery
surrounding the death of Mrs. Ander-
son, who expired in convulsions after
eating a piece of cake. A theory held
by the Lake County officials is that
styrchnine was placed in the cake by
maniac, man only recently dis
charged from the Northern Illinois
Insane Asylum and employed on the
Anderson farm. A vial Of stryehnine
was found in the house where the wo-
man died, one third Of the supposedly
original contents being missing.
Robert Anderson, brother-in-law of
Mrs. Anderson, admitted purchasing
the poison to kill rats. The Coroner's
inquest was continued, awaiting an
examination of the remainder of the
cake by Chicago chemists.
Mrs. Anderson was an unusually
handsome woman. Her husband is
wealthy.

SON CHASES MOTHER.
Found Her Hobnobbing With Strang-
ers on Side Street.

Upper Sandusky, Ohio, March 25-
New evidence was Brought to light
yesterday during the cross examina-
ton Of ex-Prosecutor Meek, the de-
fendant in the Stutz suit for $4,000
damages. He admitted that the night
following the episode at his home, and
the night following the horsewhipping
he and Mrs. Stutz were together on a
side street, and that Mrs. Stutz was
chased home by his son Lehr with. a
revolver. He denied that he also was
chased, but later said: when we were
chased"
Brown Hare, from whose hardware
store Mrs. Stutz procured the whip
with which she whipped Meek, de-
scribed the whipping and said Mayor
Gibson was witness and shouted to
Stutz to "give it to him." The May
OF also told constable who took hold
of Stutz to let him go.
P. D. Hale, a newspaper man, saw
Mrs. Stutz the morning OF the WHIP
ping. She said to him: Ben Meek
is dirty cur, am going to whip him
within an inch of his life if he does
not leave me alone, please deliver this
message to him." A brother of the
plaintiff stated that he persuaded Mrs.
Stutz not to carry out her intentions.
At s o'clock, after the arguments,
court adjourned until tomorrow, when
the jury will be charged. The special
feature Of the arguments was the
charge of the defense that the suit is
malicious one for political purposes,
on account of Meck's candidacy for
Common Pleas Judge.
