asked: "Assuming that the value of

DR.. NICHOLSON SAFE
Was Operated on for Chronic Appen-
dicitis in Chicago and is Do

ing wen.
When DIR. Thomas Nicholson went
to Chicago last Monday morning, it
vas for the purpose of submitting
to an operation for chronic Appendix
citis. For the past year or two Or.
Nicholson has been in poor health
and several times has been forced to
give up his work and take a rest.
Physicians have been unable to prop
erly diagnose his case, until he
submitted to a thorough examina-
tion in Chicago several weeks ago,
when it was pronounced chronic ap--
pendicitis. He felt much relieved
over the knowledge, as it was feared
the trouble was something more
severe.
The operation was performed in
Chicago Monday and that after
noon Mrs. Nicholson received a tele-
gram from the attending physician
that DR.. Nicholson passed through
the operation successfully and that
bis condition was good. The citi-
zens OF the city and the faculty and
students OF the University will be
exceedingly pleased to know that the
president Of Dakota Wesleyan is in
much better condition.
The operation coming at the pres
ent time may interfere somewhat
with his participation in the COM
mencement exercises of Dakota
Wesleyan, hut it could not be put OF
any longer.

SMOKE FROM LOCOMOTIVES.

The Railroad Gazette discusses the popular
movement in Philadelphia to compel the Penn
sylvania company 10 stop detiling the air of the
city with smoke from its engines, and tries to
meet the arguments advanced at hearing on
the subject given by the authorities. 1t is
pointed out, to begin with, that certain appli-
ances which are available in stationary power
plants cannot be used with locomotives. This
is probably true. There seems to be justifca-
ton for the avowal by practical railroad men
that it is not easy to stop the evil complained
of by any known attachment" The plea is then
offered that smoke consumers are an impoSsi-
bility since particles of sOot once formed. can
not be burned and must go out through the
smokestack. Perhaps this statement, too, Is
correct, but our contemporary comedies, what
is the all important point, that it is often if not
always, practicable TO prevent the production
OF smoke by extra care in stocking and a suitable
regulation of draught Not only. are these expe-
dents applicable TO the locomotive, but they have
been employed time and time again with graft
flying results.
However it appears 10 be necessary TO distin-
guish between locomotives whose function it is
TO haul trains on the road and those whose duty
ii is TO do switching. The demand on the for
mer for steam is comparatively uniform, and
therefore their fires can be fed with the regu-
Iarity and caution which check the production
Of smoke. On the other hand, the performance
of a switching engine is necessarily variable.
The machine may stand idle for an hour or two
and then be driven for a few minutes at
speed of twenty or thirty miles an hour. 1t
may run light" or it may work to the very limit
Of power. These changes 1t Is alleged, render
it next 10 impossible for fireman TO keep his
fire in exactly the condition desired. The diff
lculties of avoiding the development of smoke
by a switching engine are pronounced "lnsur-
mOuntable' by contemporary.
We respectfully beg leave TO dissent The
Railroad Gazette" may not Overstate the case.
so long as soft coal is burned, but it ignores the
possibility of substituting other fuel for that
in common use on the railways of the world.
At one time the New-YorlI Central burned coke
in some of its engines and we believe 1t does so
still. Were this hard coal employed on
switching engines in Philadelphia the chief
source OF trouble would be removed. If the
Pennsylvania company were, then, to require
skilful stocking by the tiremen Of road engines,
perhaps at some increase Of cost, the nuisance
would disappear The people of Philadelphia
are not wrong in believing that only cOnsldera-
lions of economy stand in the way Of the reform
which they have demanded.
