RAILROAD NEWS.
Reports From Chicago Indicate
a Settlement of Differences.
Both Sides Declare Willingness
to Avert Strike.
MAY TAKE A WEEK.
Before Any Definite Results
Will BE Agreed Upon.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

Chicago, March 27.-No progress
was made today toward reaching
settlement OF the controversy be-
tween the Western railroads and their
employees who voted to strike unless
certain demands were complied with
by the general managers. A commit
tee representing the men met the gen.
eral managers and submitted the re-
suit of the vote. While nothing off,
cial was given out, it was stated by
those in authority that no definite ba-
sis for settlement was reached at
the meeting. Another conference has
been arranged for tomorrow.
While both opposing interests on
the surface appear to be determined
not to concede anything, it is the gen.
eraI belief that the trouble will be set
tied without a strike.
General managers of the Western
railroads and representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and the Order of Railway Conductors
began today with what promises to be
the final conference regarding the de-
mands for an increase of pay ana
working day of nine hours.
For several weeks the men belong
ing to the two organizations have been
voting the question of striking If
their demands are not granted and al
though the vote was not announced
today, prior to the commencement
of the conference, it is understood to
be overwhelmingly in favor of
strike if such a step should become
necessary.
The general managers have inform
ed the men that they are prepared to
offer a 10 per cent increase, but can
not grant a nine hour day. Before
the conference commenced today both
sides expressed a roseate view of what
would appear to an outsider as a blue
situation. The men insisted that there
would be no strike because the gen.
eraI managers concede their
demands. The general managers
said there would be no strike
because the men would abate
their demands and accept the offer Of
the report.
Both sides expressed a determina-
ton not to give way in any particular.
1t is expected that the conferences
will last for several days and a definite
outcome is not looked for until the
end of the week.

A Voice From
The Stomach
A B.oodIess Fight Between a Tablet
and a E1abit-TIle Tablet Wins.

At the age of %. Clarence had good
digestion. He had gastric juice that
could dissolve doughnuts and turn
apple-skins into good blood corpuscles.
At the age of "a he began to be pro-
fuse about the waist and lean back
wards. He also began to cultivate sew
eral chins. In his new-found pride he
began to think it his duty to gorge
himself on everything, the good and the
bad, for appetite feeds on appetite-and
every good thing is abused.
His pictures showed that he took on
weight after he put his collar on.
At the age of 26 Clarence married and
went to boarding On top of all this
dinners, which reduced the size of his
collar from 161h to Is. With still abid-
ing faith in the strength of his stomach
he gulped his meals, and chewed them
afterwards.
At the age of 2S Clarence began to
hear an inward voice-a waring from
the stomach After each meal, he would
feel bloated-and belching became
habit.
He began to be a light eater-and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out a
cure, for now he would sit down at his
meals absolutely disgusted at the
thought or sight of anything to eat
He would sit down at his meals with
out the trace of an appetite, just be-
cause it was time to eat.
He would often feel a gnawing. unsat-
isfied ''still-hungry' feeling in his ston-
ach, even after he was through eating,
whether his meal was well cooked or
not.
And he suffered a good many other
things with his stomach that he could
not explain but that made him grouchy
miserable, out-o'-sorts and generally
sour on everybody and everything.
Finally he read an account some
thing like this. about the truly wonder
full results obtained from Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach
trouble, dyspepsia, and so on. He bought
q SOC box at the drug store, and took
the whole box. When he started he

he finished he had absolute falkland

FOR NEW RoUNDHoUsE.
Santa Fe Making Big Improvements at
San BeFnardinO.

About Is cars of cement have arrived
and been unloaded for the new round
house to be erected here by the Santa
Fe. as soon as the ground is cleared,
says the San Bernardino Sun. The con-
tract for the building is not yet award
ed, but it is probable that it will be
very soon, when the construction work
will be at once commenced. The fact
that material for the structure IS be-
ing gotten on the ground in large guam
titles is an indication that work viii
be under way very soon. The new
roundhouse will be of more than dou-
BILE the size of the present one, which
will be entirely torn down to make
room for the larger structure. The
stalls in the new building will be of
sufficient size to accommodate the
largest locomotives used, the present
building being built years ago to ac-
commodate only small types of en-
gines. 1t will be of solid concrete.

OIL AND GAS ABOUND THERE.
This Is the Belief of Lincoln County
Men.

Lincoln. Kan, March 27.-It is be-
lived there is both oil and gas in Lin
coin county, and all that is needed to
be done is to go after it. A mevem ent
has already been started among some
of the monied men to form a COM
pany and start the machinery. 1t is
claimed the best indications of the
stuff exist about 1S or 20 miles from
Lincoln. 1t is known that on the
farm of Chris Maggie there are strong
fumes of gas and oil plainly notice
able. Workmen in sinking a well for
water for stock had to abandon it at
a depth of about 100 feet, the water
being so strongly impregnated with
salt and strong fumes of oil and gas.
Lincoln county is good for most ev-
erything, cattle. hogs, coal, politicians.

While trying to board a train at Hume

GAS FOR EMPORIA
City Authorities Are to Prospect
for the Natural.
Have Leased Likely Land In
EImdale Fields.
A COMPANY is BUSY,
Wants to Furnish the Town
With 25 Cent Gas.
Municipal Pipe Plant Will Cost
$l5O,OOO.
A COMPANY is BUSY.

Emporia Kan, March 27-Emporia' s
prospect of getting natural gas is daily
growing brighter. Alva J. Smith, city
surveyor, said yesterday that he has
leased 2, 44S acres of land in the Elmdale
fields for the city of Emporia, and that
he will go to Elmdale again tomorrow
to get more leases. One of these leases
secured by Mr.. Smith is in the core OF
the gas fields. and has paying wells on
two sides. These leases cost the city
two cents an acre, besides the expenses
of Mr. Smith in obtaining them. And
for every gas well that the city bores it
will pay 800 for the privilege.
Besides this interest the city coun-
Gil has manifested in securing natural
gas, six officers and directors of the
Kansas-New Mexico Oil, Gas, Pipeline
& Cement company. were in Emporia
today, looking over the town with a
view of securing gas franchise from
the city council and piping twenty-five
cent gas to Emporia from the Elmdale
fields. They were Stephen B. Davis,
Hallet Reynolds and DR.. Edwin B. Shaw
of Las Vegas, n. NJ, E. E. Roudebush,
of Topeka, and c. S. Jennings and G.
w Shaw, both of Elmdale.
DR.. Edwin B. Shaw, vice president of
the company, said yesterday afternoon,
after a ride about town:
we are more than pleased with the
outlook in Emporia, and we shall ask
the city council at its second regular
meeting in April for a franchise to pipe
natural gas to Emporia." He said fur
Their, We examined the wells at Elm
dale and find that we have an almost
inexhaustible supply of gas
The company will pipe gas to Strong
City and Cottonwood Falls al once, anc
will wait until the second regular meet
ing of the city council in April before
making any attempt to pipe gas to EN-
poria.
What the city's plans are is not
known, further than at the executive
session February %, on motion of Coun-
Gilman Holmes, Alva ]. Smith was in
structed to lease land for the city at
Elmdale, with the idea in view of pro-
specting for gas. All members of the
council except Glotfelter, Grosz and
Shepherd were present at this meeting
The city now has on hand $3,05O in cash
and $4,000 worth of unsold bonds and
old gas pipe that cost the city "a 200
when new, with which to prospect for
gas Alva ]. Smith says that the cost
of piping gas from the Elmdale fields to
Emporia would be between 800, 900 and
$150,000. 1t is probably the intention of
the city to bore for gas with the bonds
and available cash and If gas is found
in paying quantities. bonds will be voted
to pipe 1t to Emporia-

the drill rig with water. Among the
pipes that are run down to the creek is
one carrying the gas which leaks from
the casing of the big well. This pipe
has been run out into midstream and
the escaping gas causes the water to
