Protection Is Assured.

The new signals, in addition to their
ordinary function of maintaining
spaces between rails, will protect
against broken rails, open switches
cars or other distractions on the
tracks or fouling main lines, and
against washouts and other accidents
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
roads had 1,O3S miles of track pro.
tected by automatic block signals, and
when the work now undertaken is
completed the two roads will have
total of 3,257 miles under this protec.
ton. The transcontinental line hav-
ing the next largest number of miles
of block signaling is the Northern Pa
cific, with 1,053.
In planning the work proper consid-
Grafton has been given to the varying
density of traffic, to varying grades
and curves, and every facing point
switch is to be protected by an auto
matte electric signal.

Pain In Region Of Heart.
A sudden pain in the region of the
heart was the first unfavorable symp-
tom, and this was followed by loss of
consciousness. It was expected that
the morning might bring slight i'm
provement, but the best that DR.. M. H.

ton of the patient remained I'M
changed.
Relatives who we're summoned to
Miss Anthony's bedside when the iaf.
lection of the heart was first noted,
remained in the house yesterday. Sew
eral messages of cheer were received
from prominnt women suffragists as a
result of the favorable reports of Sun
day.
