THEY VOTE TO STRIKE.
FiftyThousand Train Men West of

Chicago. = Trainmen and conduc-
tors on all railroad lines west of Chi
cago have rejected the recent offer
of the general managers of the sys-
tens for an increase IN wages &C
cording to information reaching the
Record-Herald. The official canvass
of the referendum vote which has
been in progress for fortnight, will
begin Wednesday. 1t is stated further
that the trainmen have voted to
strike if their demands are not grant
ed. Unless the railroad managers Of
fer futher concessions a strike of So
900 men is likely to result.
When the conference between rep
resentatives of the employees and the
companies adjourned February 81 it
was with the understanding that an
other conference would be held after
the men had voted upon the managers
offer. This second meeting is expect

A STORY OF CORRUPTION
Grand Jury at San Francisco Finds
rs Indictments.
Most of Them Against Ruef Who Act
ed at Broker-Worse Than St.
Louis Or Minneapolis.

San Francisco, Calf. - The long
looked for indictment in the mu-
nicipal graft cases were returned
Wednesday night. Shortly after 6 o.
clock the grand jury filed with the
presiding Judge Coffey of the SUI
perior court 65 indictments charging
bribery which were found on evil
dence presented to the grand jury at
ter six months probing into the mu-
nicipal affairs of this city by Assist
ant District Attorney Francis ]. Heney
and Secret Service Agent VIM. j.
Burns and which reveal an amazing
story of alleged graft and corruption
that surpasses the Doodle cases of ST.
Louis, ranks with the Minneapolis eX-
pose and is only eclipsed in the
amount of money passed but not in
its qualifications and organization by
the famous Tweed ring of New York
OF the indictments returned 65 are
against Abraham Ruef, for years the
political boss of San Francisco,
charging him with bribing the board
of supervisors to grant franchises to
the United Railroads, the Home Tele-
phone company, the San Francisco
Gas & Electric company and the So
called ''prizefighting trust. Ten
are against T. V. Halsey, former gen
eral agent of the Pacific States Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, who is
charged with having bribed the super
visors not to grant a franchise to the
rival company. One indictment
against Ruef and four more against
Ialsey, which it is understood, were
also returned Wednesday, were not
filed in open court. Several more in
dictments, the exact number and
against what person Heney and Burns
refuse to divulge until the accused
parties have been arrested, were re-
turned by the grand jury but not filed.
The money in all these cases is al
legged to have been handled by Ruef,
who according to Heney and Burns
was the agent and broker between the
public service corporations and the
board of supervisors and a sort of gen
eral distributing agent for all who de-
sired the privilege from the supervis-
ors.
Judge Coffey fixed the bail at $40 900
on each indictment or total of $780,
900 for Ruef and 100000 for Halsey.

BURTON IS AGAIN FREE MAN
Former Senator from Kansas Has
Served Jail Sentence.
He Returns to His Home at Abilene
Full of Life and Purpose
He Says.

Ironton, Mo. = Joseph Ralph Bur-
ton, who until his conviction in the
federal court was United States SEN
atr from Kansas, was Friday morn
ing released from the county jail
here having completed his sentence
of six months imposed when he was
found guilty of violating a federal
statute by appearing before a gov
ernmental department as the paid
representative of an alleged get rich
quick" concern of st. Louis.
Upon leaving the Jail Burton gave
out signed statement in which he
says:
81 return to my home at Abilene,
brim-full of life and hope. Only my
body has been in jail My mind has
been, at all times, free; sustained
with the knowledge that l am inno-
cent. l shall take up my life's work
with malice toward none, and with
charity for all. l shall talk and write.
With pen and tongue L shall stand
for policies and principles, that, l be-
lieve, will make for the general good,
md oppose such as l think bad. It
is bad policies that make bad men
and bad government; while true pol
icies make good men and good gov
eminent. My fight shall be against
measure, rather than against men.
I shall have charge Of newspaper,
unless there is a fraud order issued
against it before I can arrange for its
publication. 1t will reflect my ideas.
1t is to be one of the agencies in the
work 1 hope to do. l shall talk when
1 am not writing, and shall write
when 1 am not talking. The history
of my case, already prepared, will ap-
pear in serial form, first, in the paper.
This story will not be sensational:
it will be truthful. interviewer with
the history, and a necessary part of
it, will be a discussion of certain con-
ditions in our legislative, administra-
tive, and judicial government, that,
l think, have escaped the attention
of the average citizen.

FRESH AIR ESSENTIAL TO PRE-
VENT CONSUMPTION.
Dangerous to Neglect Even an ordin.
airy Cough or coId-SimpIe Rem
edy Is Effective.

Good food, fresh air and rest; keep
your windows open winter and sum-
mer."
So we are told by the great scient-
lists who are certainly doing wonders
in reducing the death rate from Tuber-
culosis. They also warn us not to neg
lect a cold or cough, and it is most i'm
portant that this advice be followed.
While the cough or cold may not bring
consumption, it is better to be on the
safe side and take no chances.
Here is simple remedy that will
break up a cold in twenty-four hours,
and cure any cough that is durable:
Glycerine, two ounces; Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; good
Whisky, half pint. Shake we'll and
use in teaspoonful doses every four
hours. The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist at
small cost, but must be pure to effect
the desired results. For this reason it
is always best to purchase the ingredi-
ents separately and prepare the mix
ture at home
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) should be
purchased only in the original half
ounce walls put up for druggists to
dispense. Each vial is enclosed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name-Virgin Oil of
Pine Pure); guaranteed under the

Chinese. View of Chronology.


Brain bag is the Chinese name for
the skull, and bumps and brains in
their notion are intimately allied. The
skull is considered to be most perfect
when it is round, with a tendency to-
ward conical rise at the top, the
latter feature indicating great intel
lectual powers. A 'hatchet" face, with
a broad, fiat top to the head, means
important parts of the skull are the
forehead and the occiput, which is
called the pillow bone. A high and
broad forehead gives good hope of
long life. Bumps and depressions on
the occiput play an important part.
Two connected bumps low down at
the back of the head denote a marital
temperament. A bump nearer the top
shaped like an egg lying on it's side
denotes truthfulness and firmness; two
similar egg shaped bumps standing on
end, one on each side of the head, de-
note fiery temperament and great
self confidence; two crescent shaped
bumps between these last two denote
longevity. A thin, pointed nose is a
sign of homicidal tendencies. The Chi
nese believe the outer conformation of
the skull to be dependent upon the
shape of the brain within. And they
connect certain mental qualifications
with certain bumps and depressions
found on the skull. In conformity with
the Confucian dogma that man was
born good and becomes evil only by
his environment, so they further be-
lieve that bumps and depressions are
developed on the surface of the skull
by influences within. These influ-
ences. in their turn, have been in
spired from without.

TWO YEARS IN BED
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cured Stub
born rheumatism When Other
Treatment Gave No Relief.


DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
curing the most stubborn cases of
rheumatism for nearly a generation
and thousands of grateful patients
have given testimony that cannot be
ignored.
Mr.. Robert Odbert, a machinist, liv-
ing at 201 Cameron Street, Detroit,
Mich, mad a very distressing expert
ence with rheumatism for about two
years. He makes the following state
ment: about the year 1887 felt the
effects of rheumatism which gradually
grew worse until l was compelled to
give up work for time. The years
of '97 and '98 l was confined to my bed
most of the time. l was under doctors
treatment but found no relief. My
legs were swollen from the hips down.
ward and red blotches appeared all
over them. Frequently they panied
me so that l had to bind them tightly
with strips of linen. This sometimes
relieved the pain but at other times
failed to do SO. At times l had to
crawl to my work, using two crutches.
During these spells l suffered greatly
from pain around my heart which at
tributed to the rheumatism.
"At last my mother wrote me and
asked me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. l did and in short time
found myself getting better and have
lad no trouble since. may here add
that consider myself perfectly cured.
l have not had the least sign of the
disease since and feel better now than
l ever did. For these reasons I
recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills
to any one affected the same as was"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid
on receipt of price, so cents per box,
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Will

Fifteen YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.

81 had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and l could not keep from
scratching them. 1 had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was SO
severe, and at times l would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. l could not rest or
sleep. 1 had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the
Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and l never felt
better in my life than l do now.

Thew stormed Parliament.

London, England. - The women
suffragists attempted Wednesday a
demonstrative raid on parliament more
important and more numerous than
any previous efforts. The police,
however, had timely warning and
made preparations that resulted in
making the demonstration somewhat
ineffective. The only result was some
arrest of nearly 20 suffragists who
were at once liberated on bail.

Navy a Business Proposition.

The navy to-day is strictly bust
ness proposition-in fact, it might be
termed scientific, and 1 venture to
say there are more good mathemati-
clans among the men than can be
found among any similar lot of men
gathered from all sections of the coun-
try, as these boys are. A few figures
in reference to target practice might
be of interest in this connection, says
Admiral Robley D. Evans in National
Magazine, showing how economical
all this perfection is, and how much
better it Is to maintain this regular
practice. AS one old tar remarked:
"Blowed if a grain of powder in prac-
tice does not save ton in service;
for when it comes to straight shoot
Ing, the men put every grain where it
counts" Thus the ravages and waste
OF war are lessened in the actual out
lay, If target practice is regularly
held. The building of the Panama
canal means an impetus to the trad
ing interests of this country, and if
the people could take the power of the
American flag on the high seas, as it
floats on the masthead of modern
cruiser or battleship, they would I'M
derstand that the navy is business
proposition, aside from the spirit of
national pride and patriotism and the
necessity for preparedness"
