But the u~ncivil, unavailable man,
who is a problem and a treat to so
ciety, whom it cannot let pass in ST.
le1ce, but must either worship or
hate,-and to whom all parties seem
related, both the leaders of opinion.
and the obscure and eccentric,-he
helps; he puts America and Europe
in the wrong, and destroys the sceD-
ticism which says, man is a doll, let
us eat and drink, it's the best we
can do by Illuminating the untried
and the unknown. Acquiescence in the
establishment, and appeal to the pub
lie, indicate infirm faith, heads which
are not clear, and which must see a
house built, before they can compre-
bend the plan of E.-Emerson.

as an effort to kill the officials of

A man recently returned from
Santa Fe says the lower house of the
legislature has it strictly in for the
Pecos Valley, and hat it all grows
out of the desire to humiliate Gov,

him. Certain local people, who al

ture IL

There is a wild horse running at
large in the Jewish cemetery, and the
animal has persisted in making pasture
land out of the graveyard despite the
efforts of deputy pound keepers and po-
lice to capture it. Many of the graves
and iron ratings have been broken and
mutilated by the beast and the sod is
torn up in large patches. 1t is believed
that the horse made it's way into the
cemetery from an adjoining pasture
but to whom the horse belongs cannot
be learned.
Deputy Poundmaster Snyder In COM
pany with Deputy Poundmaster Vachel
have been trying for three days to cap
ture the horse, but their efforts have
proved futile, for like the notorious
Maud" the horse is an adept at kick
ing and just when the poundkeepers
would congratulate themselves upon
catching their quarry the animal would
send them to the portals of kingdom
come by well delivered kick.
Yesterday Poundmaster Snyder was
kicked by the horse on the left leg and
his injury was so painful that he has
been confined to his home since. In the
meantime the horse Is feeding upon the
flowers and grass in the Jewish ceme-
terry mad living life in its own sweet
way, unmindful of the objections of the
police and poundmasters.

SURPRISE TESTS DO THE WORK
Northwestern Engine Men Generally
Obey Signals Now
Rv A Assnciated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The management
of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
has Just completed a remarkable
demonstration showing what can be
accomplished in the way of educating
enginemen to obey block signals.
During 1906 the company made Sc
ries of surprise tests" numbering
1926. and the record shows there was
not a single failure to obey the sig
nal and to observe the rules governing
block signaling.
"Surprise tests" were made without
previous knowledge of the engine crews
and consist of every conceivable ques-
ton which may arise in connection
with block signals and their observ-
anceS
The management of the Northwestern
began making these tests several years
ago and found that in a certain per-
centage of cases the signals were not
observed AS the result of series of
early tests ten engineers were dis
charged from the service and others
were severely dealt with for failure to
obey signals.
In each case the men were told that
they had done all in their power to
contribute to an accident. and that 1t
was not any fault of theirs that an ac-
cident had not occurred. 1t was given
out plainly by the management that
failure to obey signals meant dismissal.
The result of the campaign on the
Northwestern shows, according to the
officials, that engine crews can be dis
ciplined to the point where failure to
obey signals will practically never oc-
cur.

Investigation into the motive for the
attempted murder of his wife by A. j,
Drothzen and the subsequent suicide of

brought to light many important details
which will probably never come out at

woman, herself possessed of sufficient
education to be a doctor, could have
found much congeniality in the COM

name as Marie Baine, and 1t so appears
on the marriage certificate.

Railroad Officials Deny That They
Welcome the Blockade
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 3-Delegates from
more than fifty organizations of luTn-
ber men, coal dealers and other large
patrons of railroads will attend con-
Vention commencing here tomorrow
for the purpose of securing national
legislation to remedy the general short
age of cars and provide better facill-
ties for shippers and prevent future
damage to business through the failure
of transportation companies to handle
freight promptly.
Among the organizations which will
be represented at the conference are
Illinois Lumber Dealers association,
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association, Hardwood Manufacturers
Association of the United States, Yel-
low Pine Manufacturers association.
National Hay association, Southwest
ern Lumber association, associations of
retail coal dealers in many states and
association of retail lumber dealers in
many states.
The convention will present to con-
gress statistics showing loss sustained
by shippers through the shortage of
cars and probably will urge the pas
sage of a law providing for reciprocal
demurrage charges such as Congress
man Madden has prepared and will
soon introduce in the house.
Is The railroads are opposed to any
form of reciprocal demurrage. They
declare that the most selfish reasons
prompt them to furnish cars as quick
ly as possible to persons who have
freight to ship. as the cars earn moth

BAER WILL NOT
LEAVE COLLEGE
Rumor of His Return to Christian
Endeavor Work Based on East
ern Trip for Endowment
Fund

A rumor was abroad last night to
the effect that President John Willis
Baer of Occidental college was going
to leave that institution to return to
Christian Endeayor work.
Mrs. Baer was seen last night at her
home in Pasadena and says that the
rumor is decidedly without foundation
and that Mr.. Baer has no intention OF
leaving Occidental.
DR.. Baer is now on his way east and
Mrs. Baer believes that in some way
the rumor may have arisen out of this
eastern trip.
1t is believed that DR.. Baer has gone
east to see about an endowment fund
of 100000 for a scientific observatory
and school for Occidental. 1t was an
nounced about Christmas time that DR..
Baer would receive for the college next
March, the sum of 100000 as an en-
dowment, the money to come from some
eastern friend whose identity cannot
yet be disclosed. The doctor declared
at that time that he could want no
better Christmas gift than this news.
