MohIer Talks ON Strike.

mOhIer Talks ON Strtkes
A. L. Mohler, vice president and general
manager OF the Union Pacific Railroad
company. upon being interviewed by
correspondent for The Bee in Chicago
with reference to the announcement Of
Grand Master Hannahan of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen that the
strike would be extended to other lines
than the Atlantic system OF the Southern
Pacific company, made this statement
Wednesday morning, which was imme-
diately transmitted by wire:
''The proposed strike Of flremen on Union
Pacific In face Of a separate agreement
made with them In April last, which
usually runs for two years and without any
dissatisfaction on their part or desire to
leave the service OF the company, any at
tempt to embarrass the movement Of state
and interstate traffic, including shipments
Of fuel supply which are already at their
minimum condition, will leave the men
without the support of the state and FED
eral government. A situation already Sc
rious will be further extended and intensi-
fed by causing untold suffering OF inno-
cent people. Why condition In Texas
should be inflicted upon the people OF, Ne
braslxa, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado
Is ineempsehsAsIble and perfectly unjusti-
is to resort to extreme measures Of punish
ment TO accomplish theiE PssrrSss. Unless
the railroad management has the support
of the state and government oficials the
responsibility for suffering cannot rest
with the officials of the company and other
labor organizations on the Union Pacific
| railroad.
SUPERINTENDENT Park Talks.
General superintendent Park Of the Union
Pacific says he does not see how strike
on the Texas line could affect the Union
Pacific.
"I can see how the fremen on connecting
| lines would not like to handle trains which
had been brought in by nonunion men, but
this is too far away" said Mr.. Park Il
| know personally that none Of the other
trainmen's organizations is in sympathy or
would be with any such move as suggested.
The public would be bitterly opposed. as the
burden would naturally fall upon 1t. The
people would not be in sympathy at this
time with the Union Pacific men helping
somebody in Texas.
81 know the firemen on the Union Pa
cific and while understanding they are as
| loyal to their organization as any set OF
men might be, having 30 recently made an
agreement with the Union Pacific for two
years and not having any disagreement
with the company 1t il preposterous to ask
them to take part in the strike"

WRECK ON GREAT NORTHERN

Concerning Editors.

A little boy in town was given
the task by his father Of writing
an essay on editors the other day,
and the following was the result of
his efforts:
| don't know how people came
to be in the world, [ don't think
God does, for he hain't got moth
to say about them and the edito rs
in the Bible. I think the
editor is one OF the missing
links you read of and stayed
in the bushes until after the flood,
and then came out and wrote the
whole thing up and has been here
ever since. | don't think he ever
dies. | never saw q dead one and
never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is a mighty poor I'M;
the editor goes without under
clothes all winter, don't wear no
socks and paw hain't paid his sub
scription for more than five years.
If the editor makes a mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if the
doctor makes a mistake he buries
it. If the Editor makes one there
is a lawsuit, swearing and the smell
of sulphur, but if the doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers
and the smell Of varnish. A doc
tor can use a word a mile long
without knowing what it means,
but it the editor uses it he has to
spell it. If the doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for
it, but if the editor goes he gets
a charge Of buckshOt. When the
doctor gets drunk it's heart trouble
when an editor gets drunk it's a
case of too much booze, and if be
dies it's a case of delirum tremens.
Any old college can make a doctor.
You can't make an editor; he has
to he born.-Ex.

Two Trains Wrecked.

Early Saturday morning. be-
tween five and six o'clock, two
freight trains, one loaded with
stock and one with coal, tried to
60 in opposite directions on the
same track a short distance below
Merriman with very poor success.
Evidently someone had been
careless in receiving or giving
orders. We understand the train
men we're not to blame.
One train consisting of nine cars
of stock was going east, the other,
coming west. When the engines
struck, the speed did not exceed
eight or ten miles an hour. One
engine crew jumped and the other
stayed on the engine. Fortunate
ly none of either crew we're hurt.
Something like ten head of cat
tie were killed; both engines, al
though they remained on the track,
were badly used. Only three cars
were off the track. The track it.
self was damaged very slightly.
While the damage to rolling
stock and track did not seem great
yet it is probable that somebody's
carelessness cost the company in
the neighborhood of three thous-
and dollars.
The engine men were Slater and
FredericksOn, Sharrer and Morris.

There's nothing on earth so
mysteriously funny as an adver-
tisement. The prime, first and
last, and all-the-time objects of an
advertisement is to draw custom.
1t is not and never will be, design
ed for any other purpose.
1t often occurs that a merchant
waits till the busy season comes
and his store is so full of custom
ers that he can't get his hat off,
then he rushes to his printer and
goes in for advertising. When
the dull season gets along and
there is no no trade and he wants
to sell his goods so bad he can't
pay his rent, he stops advertising.
There are times when you could
mt stop people from buying every
thing in the store if you planted a
cannon behind the door, and that's
the time when the advertisement
is sent out on it's holy mission.
1t makes light work for adver-
Using, for a chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was
needed, and a half-holiday six days
in a week; but who wants to favor
an advertisement?
They are built to do hard work,
and should be sent out in dull
days, when a customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts, and
kicked insensible with bankrupt
reductions, and dragged in with
irresistible slaughter of prices, be-
fore he will spend a cent.
That's the end and aim of adj
vertising, and if you ever open a
store, don't try to get them to
come when they are already stick
ing out of the windows, but give
them your advertisement right be-
tween the eyes in y dull season.
The time to draw trade is when
you want business. and not when
you have more business than you
can tend to already.

This Seasons Light Gowns Are Weighted Down

cINCE the highest fashion dictates
that gowns shall continue. to be
made of light and clinging materials
- it has been found necessary to
weight them down at certain points and
thus prevent their flying with the winds
of winter. Indeed. the natural charm
of clinging gown is quite lost when
allowed 10 blow out unexpectedly. pro-
ducing, perchance. a suggestion of old
time hoops. So many women have been
annoyed by this blowing about or light
gowns that 1t now seems they are will
ing to submit to their being rather
heavily weighted.
This Weighing is done with lead,
with cloth and sometimes with leather.
Bits OF nodded lead. or even shot. are
sewn in little bags and then placed be-
tween the lining and goods of bodices
at desired points Of accentuation. Us
ually these are found in lapels, collar
cites and shoulder tabs The sleeves
of stout women are often weighted near
the front and back OF the elbow. These
places, besides, not infrequently show
black and blue spots from the contin-
uous knocking against the nesh OF
such weights. When very light weights
are needed for chiffon or lace bodlces.

Fortunately, this years toque IS not

every one. Although seen in different
materials and the various sizes OF the

the accepted smart hat for walking.
skating or automobiling. The fur is
the same as the coat itself or as the
collar and rnuff, and while the walking
models have a quill, feathers or
aigrettes OF flowers placed quite high
up on the left side OF the toque, for a
motor hat the trimming is dispensed
with altogether or consists OF soule

against the fur. so as to in no way in
