ELECTRICITY is USED.

Pittsburg. Kan, Nov. 1T. a. Nicho-
las, of Carthage. No, father of Charles
Nicholas, of this city, has been grant
ed a patent upon an electric soma
phore signal for railroads. It is claim
ed to be the most complete now in use.
He has applied for a patent upon the
signal in all of the European countries.
Mr.. Nicholas Is a retired railroad
man, and at one time was employed
on the Missouri Pacific division that
passes through this city and was one
OF the first conductors that run trains
on the old Joplin & Girard road, now q
part of the Frisco.
His continuance WILL 1t is claimed,
make him a fortune, as the era OF i'm
provements along railroads in the way
of signals is about to become general
all over the country because of the
various states passing laws compelling
railroads to use some kind of signals
in order to prevent wrecks.
The invention consists of a machine
to be placed between stations of a rail-
road and is operated by the station
agents on either side of it. If an agent
unthoughtedly allows a train to go by
that has orders to stop at this siding,
or an engineer pulls out without orders.
the agent simply pushes q button,
which is connected by an electric wire
with the machine. The machine drops
two torpedoes upon the rails and flash.
es a red light upon the track. No en-
gineer can fail to perceive the warning
signals.
Mr. Nicholas is an old railroad man
and has been working on this device
for about year. For 20 years he has
had an indefinite plan in his mind, but
it was not until he viewed a fearful
railroad wreck about a year ago that
his plan reached a stage when he could
develop it.
By means of this device a majority
of wrecks which now occur can be
averted and many lives and much pro-
perty can be saved. It will mean a
saving of many thousands of dollars to

it easy for all of them to get out of the

There is no doubt but what some
one had presented the prisoners with
saws and that they had been secreted
so that a careful inspection failed to
locate them One of the prisoners had
been allowed the liberty of being out
of the cells and in the corridor and to
him is laid the work of assisting the
others out OF the cells.
Charles Bond of Stone City did not
make his escape and he stated that he
was asleep and did not hear the work
being done. This is not believed how
ever by the officials and the only reas-
on for him remaining in the Jail was
because he was too large a man to
crawl through the hole made in the
window.
The prisoners who escaped were a
bad lot and several had been already
convicted and were awaiting to be TAX

elimination Against Western Roads.
Washington. Nov. Through com
plants charging wholesale discrimina-
ton by western railroads against indie
pendent oil producers. the war against
the Standard Oil trust has been carried
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Three complaints were fled by the
National Petroleum associa ton, of
Cleveland. O.. by c. D. Chamberlain, as
secretary Of the association. The prin-
cipal complaint charges that several of
the eastern trunk lines and all the
western lines reaching Pacific coast
terminals have conspired to give the
Standard the advantage. 1t is set
forth that the present rate TO Pacific
coast terminals is 901s cents per 100
pounds in tank cars or in barrels by
car load lots from Toledo and Findlay,
o., SO cents from Cleveland; 951z cents
from Marietta. and SO cents from Pitts
burg, Freedom Oil City, Titusville,
Warren and Bradford. Pa. In addition
a charge of $1.O5 is assessed for return
ing each cylinder tank ear from the
Pacific points to the Missouri river.
The rate from Writing, Ind, is 7S1z
cents. The complaint says that before
the Standard built up Whiting the rate
in all cases was the same. The rates
now charged from the points named by
the independents are declared 70 be un-
lust and unreasonable and unduly dis
criminatory The commission is asked
to fix a. reasonable rate and to abrogate
the charge of S1.05 for returning cars.
The two other complaints affect rates
from Peoria and Chicago to Omaha,
Sioux City and Sioux Falls. and from
Peoria. Chicago and Milwaukee to St
Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth The
roads affected are the Chicago, A1ilwau-
kee & St. Paul, the Chicago & North
western, the Burlington. the Chicago &
Great Western, the Rock Island, the Hi
nois Central and the Wabash. The
rates now in effect are declared to be
100 per cent too high, and the commits
sion is asked to order their reduction.
