ROCK ISLAND AND
HARTMAN ARE IN
DEATH STRUGGLE
Reports Emanating from Wall
Street Indicate that the
Former is Likely to Down
the Railroad Wizard.
D. G. REID is A FACTOR
IN PRESENT SITUATION
Rock Island is Laying Its Plans
\ in Such a Way as to Threat
en- Harriman's Railway En-
pire in Southwest.

Abrogation of the agreement for
the control of the Alton and the
methods by which it appears TO have
been accomplished means that the
and Rock Island people three years
ago. and which has been the cause OF
MANY an important development in
the Western railroad field and Wall
street since then, must continue to
be waged, says the Wall Street Jour
nal Summary of the situation will
be of special interest in Richmond,
owing to the connection of d. G. Reid
and others.
1t is doubtful if the interests who
are now most potent in the Rock Is
land really wanted to buy control of
tie Alton road Before they bought 1t
there was some talk as to whether the
object sought could not just as easily
be accomplished by the expenditure
of $4,000 900 to S15,000,000 and the
construction of cutoff for through
business to and from Chicago.
They bought the road, however,
without examining the title. When
they found they had stock control 1t
dawned upon them that E. II. Harri-
man. owing to the fact that the Al
IONS was a classified board, really
had the working control. There was
also some fear as to whether or not
Mr.. Hartman might not lease the
Alton outright for a term of years and
under such conditions as to make the
common stock for which they paid
$40 share practically worthless.
There was also the probability that
the Rock Island could not legally con
troll the Alton road under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Thus it came to pass that even ar
though the Rock Island people owned
a clear majority of Alton stock they
were obliged to turn the control over
to f.. ii. hartman 1oT t"o Steai .
lust about the length of time he could
have held it any way under the classi-
fication of directors.
The Rock Island promised to seno
a lot of its through business both tc
and from Chicago over the Alton and
it has been said that the Union Pacl-
fic promised to do likewise. In any
case the Alton got no additional busi-
ness from either source.
Last fall when Mr.. Harrimans hrst
two years were up the Rock Island
people took control according to the
schedule.
Rock Island Pushed Him Out.
Now within a few months OF the
time when Hartman might under the
agreement run the Alton for a year
the Rock Island people announce that
the agreement is illegal. Mr.. Harrl-
man declares it is not but does not
demur. It.looks as though the ROCK
Island kept Mr.. Hartman no longer
than they had to and at the first op

Duck Wisdom.

ssGood weather for young ducks" is
an old saying applied to wet days.
There is not one bit of truth in it.
Nothing can be worse for them than a
rainy day. The silly things will stand
with open mouths gazing upward until
they drown.
During a rainy period they should be
confined in dry, roomy coop. Be sure
that they have plenty Of dry chaff to
nestle down in during the night.
Crowding them in damp quarters
will cause rheumatic and other trou-
bles.
1t is very satisfactory to rear ducks
in pen provided it is large enough.
II many are crowded together in a
small place they are sure to become
stunted in their growth.
1t is not wise to allow the ducklings
with other young poultry. The duck
lings will gobble up most of the feed,
pollute the drinking water and make
themselves anything but pleasure to
have around.

To Keep Away Lice.

For body lice on chicks and fowls
use pure Dalmation or Persian insect
powder Get the fresh ground unadul-
terated powder from a reliable drug
gist. Dust this into the plumage well
down to the. skin. For mites or coop
lice use either of the following mix
lures for painting roosts and dropping
boards: Dissolve in kerosene all it will
take up of crude naphthalene fakes OF
mix thoroughly with one gallon of ker-
osene two fluid ounces of any good coal
tar disinfectant Apply this to roosts
and drop boards in the middle of the
forenoon, 50 that it will have opportu-
nifty to soak well into the roosts and
boards and dry out before the birds go
to roost.

Poultry on the Farm.

Where beginners go wrong is not
distinguishing between poultry on the
farm" and poultry farming" There
is a vast difference. A poultry farmer
should derive his living solely from
poultry. Rent food, labor, houses, re
pairs, losses by diseases and thieves,
such as foxes, rats, etc, should all be
paid by the fowls. The cost must come
chiefly from eggs, as many fowls only
sell for table at the price of their food.
Fowls on farm" have the rent paid
for by cows, ETC., and roost in cart
sheds and the like.

How to Read Character.

Teeth that are long and not narrow
denote large, liberal views, strong pas
sions and heroic virtues; If they are
long and narrow weak character is
denoted, says Pearson's. Evenly grow
ing teeth show a better disposition and
better developed mind than those that
crowd and overlap.
Long noses are cautious and prudent,
short ones impulsiye and joyous.
Deep colored eyes with well arched
lids, both upper and lower, show a
truthful and affectionate nature. An
eyebrow slightly curling at the outer
edge indicates a jealous nature.
There is whole world of telltale in
dications in the apex Of the ear. If
it lies close to the head, the owner
possesses a refined nature, but if the
top starts away from the head at a
well defined angle that person has an
uneven disposition and is not to be
relied upon.
If a girls thumb lies fat or drops a
little. marital submission to the mas
ter mind is Indicated. If the thumb
has tendency to stand at right angles
to the hand, the damsel owning 1t is
headstrong. A person of weak charac-
ter has a pendent thumb; the strong
character has a strong, erect thumb.
Fingers which bend backward mean
powerful determination. If they are
round, strength, both physical and
mental, is indicated. Stubby fingers
are grasping fingers. Finger nails that
are rounded show refinement; if long
and rather square at the top, firmness
and energy are denoted.

equal TO the task, You will by all means
attack them, and endeasor by shat means
to disappoint their designs. ] have written
to General Newcomb, Of the Jersey militia
to give you all the aid in his power, for
which you will accordingly apply when
necessary
Upon the whole, sir, You will be pleased
to remember, that the post with which you
are now entrusted is Of the utmost impor-
tance to America and demands every exer-
tion Of which you are capable for its secur-
ity and defence.
The whole defence Of the Delaware abso-
lutely depends upon it, and consequently
all the enemy's hopes Of keeping Philadel-
phia, and finally succeeding in the object Of
the present campaign. Influenced by these
considerations, doubt not your regard to
the service and your own reputation will
prompt you to every possible effort to ac-
complish the important end of your trust
and illustrate the intentions OF the enemy.
Given at Headquarters, this 7th day Of
October, 1777.
Ii is not necessary for me to come from
Rhode Island to tell you, the Daughters Of
New Jersey, how we'll, how faithfully Col
onel Greene carried out these Instructions
In closing this paper, l cannot pass over
the resolution Of Congress on November 4,
TIT. ResoEued, That Congress have an high
sense Of the merits Of Colonel Greene and
the officers and men under his command in
their gallant defence Of the fort at Red Bank
on Delaware River, and that an elegant
sword be provided by the Board OF War and
presented to Colonel Greene"
Thus Congress recognized the man who
won the battle-the terms Of which were no
quarter on either side. His General inn
mediatelv sent him letter of congratula-
tion, while the country rang with tue story
of Red Bank and Colonel Greene and his
Rhone Island garrison But alas! his heart
was never gladdened by the sight of that
elegant silver sword for his brilliant career
was brought to sad close on May IA, 17S].
To-day there stands upon your battle field
shaft in it's exquisite beauty, splendidly
appropriate in its design, erected in honor of
those gallant defenders Of American rights
and liberty who fell in that memorable en-
gagement at Red Bank, and of Colonel
Christopher Greene.
Surely New Jersey and Rhode Island can
clasp hands with loving hearts. AS long as
Rhode Island blood flows true and pure,just
so long will Rhode Island men and Rhode
Island women cherish with New jersey the
memory of Rhode Islands son, Christopher
Greene and his brave soldiers, and our pi ide
shall be in the part Rhode Island took in
the battle Of Red Bank.

How TO Care For a Pneumonia Patient

How to Care For Pneumonia Patient.
Dudley Morgan declares that there
are some cases of pneumonia which
require only intelligent and systematic
guidance and nursing. Others need
little medicine, but when it is indi-
Gated it should be given promptly and
theoretically. Even in the most trying
cases there is little else needed than
digitalis, strychnine and ice. In nearly
all cases of pneumonia it is good
plan to start with quiet and rest, a
variety of nourishing liquid food and
an ice bag on the chest In the region
Of the pain and congestion and also
over the precordia if necessary. Very
trying cases are those in which the
patient is steady or hard drinker. In
pneumonia digitalis should be used to
strengthen and nourish the heart and
to reduce rapid pulse.

Acorns as Poultry Food.

Acorns are not valuable foodstuff
for poultry, because they are deficient
in flesh forming elements, besides
which they contain tanno, which hard
ems muscular tissues and to a certain
extent impairs the favor Of flesh and
eggs that is, when poultry have many
acorns. Fowls will rarely deyour whole
acorns. Therefore to induce the birds
to deyour them it is necessary to kib-
BILE them or to grind and add them In
limited quantities to the soft food.

How to Cook q Terrapin.

Boil the terrapin until the skin on
the claws is sufficiently soft to rub off
at the slightest touch. Take from the
shell and remove every particle of en-
trails and lungs. Place the meat in a
chatting dish if possible. Add butter,
pepper and salt, the quantity of each
depending upon the quantity Of flesh.
Let it simmer until the essence and
butter reach the consistency of light
gravy, then serve hot II desired, a
little good sherry may be added before
eating, but not while cooking. Use no
spices, dressings or other ingredients
that can detract from the flavor.

Feeding Green Bone to Chicks.

There is no especial method of feed
ing green cut bone to chicks. Put the
bone. before them, and they'll do the
rest. When they are in houses, spread
the cut bone along feed troughs. When
the birds are on clean grass runs, SOW
the bone on the grass broadcast. They
will go for it so eagerly it will quickly
disappear.
Do not feed cut bone in hoppers. It
viii clog up the hoppers and become
tainted Then look out for ptomaine
poisoning

TEN IMPORTANT POINTS.
Every PouItryman Should be Certain
That All Are Looked After.

EVERY FcuilFyfndH 0HoAlG DC SSitais
That All Are Looked After.
There are some mistakes which even
the most experienced poultry keepers
are prone to make, and they arise fire.
quently not so much from ignorance
as from forgetfulness or force of cir
cumstances, says A. Y. Meersch in
Western Poultry Journal. Neverthe-
less, as all mistakes in poultry keeping
are apt to prove costly, it is no bad
plan for the poultry keeper to put peri
odically the following questions to
himself % Am overcrowding my
fowls in any way? ~ Are my fowls
receiving any unsuitable articles of
diet? 81 In my anxiety for eggs am |
forcing egg production to the possible
detriment of my breeding operations
next spring? AZ Am breeding from
the pick of my stock only, taking care
that no hereditary faint of disease is
being transmitted? % Is my poultry
yard in the highest possible state of
efficiency-viz, have every reason to
be satisfied with the way my birds
are fed, housed and handled? (6) Are
my fowls overfed? "a Are my fowl
houses as free as they should be from
red mites, feas and other insect pests?
(S) Am I certain that the fowls wa
ter is the purest and is supplied reg
ularly in clean receptacles? 90 Am |
reserving sufficient fresh ground for
chicken rearing? 1W Is my stock Of
the sort most suited to my needs-yiz,
do l direct my efforts to the elimina-
ton of mongrels and bad layers?

Preventive For INDIGESTION

The best preventive for Indigestion
and dysentery both for chicks and lay
ing hens is one quarter pound sulphate
Of iron and one-half ounce sulphuric
acid dissolved in one gallon Of hot wa.
ter Place in a stone Jar and set away
to cool and settle. Add one tablespoon.
full Of this liquid to each quart Of
drinking water. This is mild and
effectual remedy

Heat the Brooder In Advance.

Always make it a point to warm up
the brooder several days before want
ed for the newly Matched chicks a
week before if possible. This will give
time enough to note how much, if any,
outside changes in temperature affect
the temperature in the brooder. Too
much care cannot be exercised in this
particular. Irregularity in the temper
allure of the brooder is almost certain
to work havoc.

Elastic

The elastic used for garters and
many other purposes is made by weav-
ing threads of rubber, cut by ma
chinery, into the material used in the
manufacture The weaving is done by
a special process which permits the
elastic to lengthen without impairing
the fabric. Lengthwise threads Of
cotton or silk are woven very slack,
as otherwise they would prevent the
stretching Of the rubber.
