Automatic Stops for Trains.

Considering various safety devices
for preventing railroad accidents in
his article, 1.-THE Growing Railway
Death ROLL in April Everybody's.
Carl Snyder says:
"On the subway in New York city.
and on the Boston Elevated, operating
practically all the interurban service
of that city. there is now, and for
some time has been, in use a simple
mechanism, a mechanical trip. by
means of which when an engineer
runs past a danger signal, the motive
power is shut off and the brakes are
set mechanically. This is what is
known as the Kinsman stop. 1t has
mitted much freer and closer running
Of trains than had heretofore been
deemed possible. 1t is a practical and
demonstrated success.
Its inventor has likewise developed
an electrical device of the same nature
and this is now being tried by one or
more steam roads. 1t is extremely
simple. 1t consists merely of an inner
guard-rail about 120 feet in length,
forming part of an open circuit in
signal. Projecting from under the en-
CINE is a heavy steel arm strong
enough to resist all breakages and fix
ed a stiff but sufficiently flexible
spring, so that it may be knocked
about without danger. The arm
scrapes along the guard-rail as the
engine passes over it, thereby closing
the circuit, and if the signal be at dan
ger it automatically shuts the engine
throttle and throws on the brakes. 1t
is set little beyond the danger sig
nal, so that If the engineer has obeyed
the signal, it has no effect. If he has run
past, the train is automatically stop
ped. With this device goes a very in
genious recording apparatus, which
shows every time such an automatic
stop is made; in other words, how Of

ERON OTHER PENS
FARMER AND CAPITALIST.

The farms of the United States are
worth, according to the latest official
estimate, $4,000, 100000. The COM
bined value of all the railroad stocks
and bonds and the securities OF in
dustrial plants is only about three
fourths as great as that of the farms.
There have been many times in the
mast when the man who raises wheat
and corn, oats and hay was badly hit.
Indeed, the blows were quite as Sc
we're as that which has in the pear
1907 fallen upon the owners of Sc
curities.
When farm products fell to prices
so low that there was nothing but loss
for the farmer there was no especial
cry from the Capital interests to
help matters. When the value of
not equal to the mortgages put upon
them there were likewise no wild de-
mands for legislation, that is to say,
none from the great centers of popula-
ton.
Now that the farmers are prosper
Gus q never before, while the railroad
rnagnate and his high flyers in finance
are woefully pinched, the boot is on
the other foot. Those whose sole well
changes wonder why the rest of the
people are not walking the floor at
nights thinking up plans to stem f1nan-
cial disaster.
Wall street is of all places the most
self-sufficient. When it is happy it
forgets that there can possibly be mis-
cry anywhere else. But when 1t hap

ALEX H. HOWELL
 AS REPRESENTATIVE

The Little Rock Democrat says:
 Another member who has some reputation as a speaker is Hon. Alexander H. Rowell of Jefferson county. A young man, Mr. Rowell is serving his second term in the House, is proud of that fact, and when he rises to address the House at length his friends and opponents look for something out ol the or dinary. As soon as he gets into the real meat of his discussion he shakes his head like mad bull his long hair waves in the air. and his long index finger is pointed straight at the Speaker, at the far end of the House. He usually stands with one hand on his desk, which is on the center aisle, and from time to time he refers to the statutes or the Constitution, as the case may be, and is said to be grooming him. self for position of more inn portance."

The complaint states that in April, 1906, Arlington ab- sconded without accounting for s10, 300.

Splendid Prescription That Should Be Kept in House hold and Used By The Family.
MAKEKIDNEYS FILTER
Mix It Up Yourself.-Dont Cost Much. Acts Gently and Cleans the Blood Of All Impurities. Try 1t Anyway.

4 leading journal in answering the question, What is the best prescription to clean and purify the blood, ,s prints in recent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dande- lion one-half ounce, Compound kar- gon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal.
 A we'll known local druggist who Is familiar with this prescription states that it is harmless, being composed of vegetable ingredients which can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy.
 It cleans the blood of all impuri- ties and nourishes the blood. In just a few days the skin be- gins to clear of sores, boils and pimples. It puts yigor and energy into rundown debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsapa- rilla alone has been considered a good blood medicine. But while it built up and made new blood, the impurities remained within and the good accomplished was only tenn porary. Sarsaparilla, however, when used in combination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion works wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acid and other impuri- ties that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and bladder trou- bles.
 This prescription is better than the usual patent medicines, which are in the most part alcoholic con- coctions. The ingredients cost but little. They may be procured from any good pharmacist and mixed at home. Every man and women here should make up some and try it if they feel their system requires a good blood medicine and tonic.
 The Kargon to cleanse the kid neys and vitalize them so they can clean the blood, Sarsaparilla to make new rich blood and Dandelion to tone the stomach, celan the liver and make it active and relieve con- stipation is the way the prescrip- tion acts and so mildly and gently that one does not consider they are taking medicine.
