Discipline Hint.

Instead of punishing children learn
 to talk quietly with the little one about its disobedience or misbehavior, says a writer. Make 1t plain to the small boy and girl why they are in the wrong and encourage them to give a reason for their misconduct. Tell them kindly how to avoid a similar difficulty in the future. Tn other words make love the basis of discip- line. and obedience will be prompted by the thought that mother or father will be displeased with an unkind act.

SHOP INNOVATIONS.
Hartman Has Plans Looking Towards
Economical Operation.

Omaha, Oct. 14.vIn carrying out E.
H. Harriman's ideas as to economical
shop operation, the Union Pacific Rail-
way company has almost finished the
complete rebuilding of its various plants
here. The new blacksmith shop, on the
basis of output and cost to the size of
the establishment, has already made
remarka BILE record for economy.
The arrangement and equipment of
the shops was determined by the idea
of reducing waste of time and labor to
minimum. Work which will go
through the new Union Pacific shops
will be routed so as to save every
possible minute and avoid unnecessary
handling The principle underlying the
construction of these shops is that they
shall be run on exactly the same basis
as that of any manufacturing concern
engaged in competitive business Eigh-
teen thousand men on a payroll of some
S3.000.000 a year are employed here.
Large savings have been made in the
cost of turning out work by the use of
mechanical forging machines and 9TH
er improved machinery. the manufac-

ture of parts in wholesale quantities,
and the almost complete elimination of
hand work. There are said to be fewer
hand FORCES in the blacksmith shop
than in any similar establishment in
the country. Travelling cranes handle
All heavy material, and one man at the
lever of the car shop cranes can lift
freight car bodily and transport it to
any part of the shop
For repairing locomotives in quick
time the arrangements are such that
work that formerly occupied several
weeks can now be done in as many
days. Estimating the value of a loco
motive at $40 day, the saving on the
repair of single locomotive would be
several hundred dollars. What the saw
ing amounts to in the aggregate can be
Judged from the fact that last year the
Hartman line made 1914 ID connective re-
pairs and $40 freight car repairs at a
cost of ST., 1000, 900.

STREET FAIR A HUMMER.
Sylvan Grove Had Three Days Car
niY:.l to Be Proud OF.

Sylvan Grove, Oct. 4.-ThiS Lin
coin county town has just closed its
three days of street fair and carnival.
1t is the fifth one the place has held,
and it was the most successful. Inc
promoters are to be congratulated for
having set a valuable precedent.
They wouldn't tolerate a political
speaker; in fact they wisely came TO
the conclusion that they wouldn't in
vite any of them. And they kept
away.
Everyone who has seen Sylvan
Grove is delighted at the substantial
growth it has made and the enterprise
of the business men. In the parade
about all the business houses were
represented by floats, many of them
being creditab BILE to a population OF
5000 and 10000 people. There was
the carnival queen at the head OF the
cities, Miss Dagmer Peterson, and
there were two or three bands. Every
business house was decorated, all
seemed determined to make their nu-
merous visitors took pleasant and
smile.
Sylvan Grove is one of the best
stock and grain centers on the Sa-
lima and Oakley branch of the Union
Pacific 1t is claimed that in the
vicinity of this town there are large
number of breeders of fine blooded
stock. August Lieberman, A X.
Buick, F. L. Brown, o. T. Harlow,
d. A. Parsons, Jacob Rife and J. H.
Wilson exhibited at the fair specimens
of horses, while Cattel1 Bros, o. M
Wright and H. c. Errebo had on ex-
hibition Hereford cattle, G. H Will
liams and H. P. Bacon showed fine
specimens of Shorthorns, and J. M.
Williams and G. v. Williams the
Angus cattle S. r. Lawson exhibited
sheep. The stock show was so sue
cessful that the exhibitors and others
are going to hold a meeting with
view of launching the Lincoln County
Fair association. and inasmuch as
there is so much fine stock owners
tributary to this town they are going
to pull for Sylvan Grove as the an
nual place of meeting.
C, E Peck exhibited fine specimens
of potatoes, the Early Ohio's, 26 OF
them which weighed an even 80
pounds There were fine samples or
wheat and corn, and a dozen or more
GOODS of chickens and ducks. The
business men generally gave special
premiums for exhibits. in many cases
the contest being good natured ana
exciting.
Visitors to Sylvan Grove see cement
sidewalks reaching out all over town.
MANY business houses built of brick
and stone, three elevators. two lumber
yards, a printing plant. solid bank,
a great poultry and produce center,
extensive stock yards and a valley un-
surpassed for raising alfalfa and
grains 1t is so located that it will
grow as the country gets more aged
1t will take more than one year or
crop shortages to check her growth.

WILL RESIST WAGE DEMANDS.
Western Railroad Managers Decide
Limit i'm Pay Has Been Reached.

The labor situation is causing the
western railroad arrangements a great
deal of uneasiness. During the present
week the executive committee of the
General Managers association has held
several conferences in Chicago to dis
cuss the situation.
III various parts of the west differ ent
labor organizations are making de-
:1Iands for increased wages and on one
read at least there S imminent dam
ger of a switchmens strike. The prob
lem confronting the general managers
is, What is to be done with the present
which seem certain to come? At the
last session of the committee it develop
ed that the presidents of nearly all
western roads had determined that
there shall be no further increase in
wages. The unanimous sentiment is
that the limit has been reached and
that no more increases in pay can be
granted with safety. -
From the general managers point of
view the la!)oc c. aniza lions have he
come unreascIab., on account of the
apparent ease with which they have
gained increased wages during the last
few years, and this is bringing on I'M
reasonable demands in several quar-
ers. 1t seems certain, from the present
attitude of the general managers, that
increase in wages until the cost of
materials and railway operation ceases
to advance. One of the general mana
gers stated at the conclusion of con-
ference that the western roads had
practically decided to stand a strike or
strikes rather than to grant any de-
mand for further increases in wages.

STILL AFTER HARTMAN.
No Let Up by Federal Authorities in,
Desire to Prosecute Him.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE admins
tration is fully determined that no step
shall be overlooked in the speedy
prosecution of E. H. Hartman. The
hnal instructions in this connection
were given at the department of jus
ticey Saturday to Messrs. F. B. Kellogg
and G. b; Morrison of the special coun.
sci for the government. The two at
torneys were summoned from New
York city by the attorney general.
He told them explicitly that it was
the wish of the president that Mr..
Hartman be reached if it could be
found that he had violated any law,
and there was chance of his convic-
ton, under either civil or criminal pro-
cess. Mr.. Kellogg, it has been known
Tor some time, has felt that it would
be frultlesS for the government to in
sist through the courts that Mr.. Harri-
man answer the questions propounded
commission, which he has refused thus
far to answer. Mr.. Morrison has in
clined to the same belief
The attorney general has canvassed
the situation thoroughly, with the
president and with members of the in
terstate commerce commission. They
have concluded that it is most inn
portant for the dignity and authority
of the commission to be upheld In
every particular, and especially in the
Hartman case.
There was some discussion of the
Standard Oil case, now in progress II.
New York city, in the proceeding
known as the st. Louis case. The
situation was canvassed, and the at
torney general had few suggestions to
make. He congratulated the prosecu-
tors on the progress made, and assured
them that they had not only been of
great service to the government. but
that ne had consulted a number of
attorney generals of states who were
greatly enlightened by the government
proceedings, and offered individual ana
state cooperation in the fight against
the Standard Oil company.

WAS AN OLD "sEA DOG
Misfortunes of Capt. w. HI. Haskins
Recalls an Adventurous Life.

Concordia, Kan, Oct. 14-The
Blade says:
Capt VIM H. Haskins, whose pc
culiar actions due to mental disturb
ance, brought on by cancer of the
face, has brought him prominently be-
fore the public in the last few days,
is a man whose early life was one of
hardship and adventure, as it was
spent on the ocean where, as master
of a whaling vessel, he had many
thrilling experiences among the rough
men and in the venturesome life.
For many years, Capt. Haskins,
who is now IS years old, has lived in
this city and whether the temperature
was in the nineties or below zero,
whether it was clear as a bell or
cloudy or rainy, he never appeared
on the street that he did not carry an
umbrella open above his head. He
was not much of hand for sociabil-
ity, spoke to those who met him only
when addressed and not until he be-
came afflicted mentally has he ever
shown a disposition to be violent, de-
structive or dangerous to those with
whom he came in contact.
Quite recently, however, he has de-
veloped a disposition to be violent
and unreasonable and has alarmed
not only his own family. but his
neighbors, by his violence. 1t is
gratifying to know that the old gen.
tleman is sufficiently well-to-do to
make 1t possible to hire attendants
and keep him at home.

SCARED'E EN- AWAY
Electric Alarm Bells tangled

When Burglars Broke Into the
Institution at Plains.

Race on Horseback Down Into
the Oklahoma Hills.

Plains. Kan. Oct. 14.-An unsuccess-
full attempt to rob the Plains safe bank
was made here. At about $3.50 a'clock
at night. the big burglar alarm bell in
side began to ring There was another
bell on the outside hC the robbers hal
successfully plugged this.
The robbers did not have much of 2
start before they were discovered. Evil
IDENTIFY they were unacquainted with
the burglar alarm system installed in
the bank building. There are numerous
bells on the system and any or all OF
them are likely to be set off. An indi-
Gator attached shows the cause of the
alarm.
Investigation shows that no attempt
had been made to plug any of the bells
except the one on the outside of the
building. the robbers evidently think
ing that there was but one bell. Ac-
cording to the indicator, the robbers
were in the act of prying open the vault
doors when the electric circuit was
closed.
Immediately the inside bells were set
to ringing and the robbers fled at once.
Quite number of people were on the
streets at the time. These ran imme-
diately to the bank. The alarm could
be plainly heard all over town, causing
others to run to the bank. In a very
few minutes a posse of about ESQ men
and boys gathered.
Then thee base began. The robbers
riding horseback, were headed for the
south, evidently trying to reach the
state line which was but 20 miles away.
There are a few hills also where they
would have much more chance to fight
off posse. But the horses of the rob-
bers proved to be better than those pur-
suing and they were soon lost in the
darkness. The pursuers then gave up
the chase.
No money was taken from the bank
for the alarm sounded before the I b.
i.crs were able to pry the doors Of rhe
vault open.

Do Your Meals Fit I?
Do You Feel Snug and Comfortable
Around Your Waiss Line After
Hearty Meal?

Did your last meal taste deliciously
good to you, and did you eat all you
wanted? Could you have patted your
rotundity in glee- and felt proud of
your appetite and of your good strong
stomach? Do you feel rosy now be-
cause your last meal gave you no in
convenience whatever? If not, you
have dyspepsia in some form, and
probably never realized it.
If you have the least trouble in your
stomach after eating, no matter how
little or how much you eat, there is
trouble brewing and you must correct
1t at once.
Most all stomach troubles come
from poor. weak, scanty gastric juice
that precious liquid which ought to
turn your food into rich, red blood.
juice is weak. If you have sour ris-
ings or belchings, your food is fer
menting; your gastric juice is weak.
If you have loss of appetite, your
gastric juice is weak. If you have
bloaty feeling of aversion to food,
your gastric juice is weak.
You need something in your stom-
ach to supply the gastric juice which
is scanty. and to give power to the
weak gastric juice. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do this very thing.
Now think-one grain of one of the
ingredients of these wonderful little
tablets digests 5000 grains of food.
They are several times more powerful
IMAM the gastric juice IN good,
strong, powerful stomach. They act
ually digest your food for you. Be-
sides, they increase the flow of gastric
juice, just what you need to get all the
good possible out of everything you
eat. You will never have that lump
of Lead in your stomach nor any
other stomach trouble after taking
STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets. Then
everything you eat will be digested, it
will give you strength, vim, energy
and rosy disposition. You'll feel
good all around your waist line after
every meal and it will make you feel
good all over.

make you feel happy after eating a
good hearty meal. Take one or two
