Lake Dudley, general manager OF
the road, was one of the first at the
scene, and with the assistance of the
farmers living near the wreck the dy

Walter Wellman, the Arctic eXplor
er, who was expected last year to
make an attempt TO reach the north
pole by means of an airship, has
sailed from New York and will try to
do the trick this summer. Mr.. Well
man, who knows the frozen north,
having led an expedition in that di-
rection, while convinced of the practi-
cability of the airship method, SEN
sibly declares he will take as few
chances as possible, and will make
thorough test of his apparatus before
beginning his aerial flight. Andree,
the only man up to date who has
started for the north pole by balloon,
has never been heard from. The
hope is universal, says Troy Times,
that the plucky American will have
better fortune. Yet there are a whole
lot of people who put more trust in
the coming expedition of Commander
Peary, which will go by the good ship
Roosevelt.

GUNS OF THE STRIKE BREAKERS
NOW DOWN FRISCO MOB IN THE
STREE CAR RIOTS.
Effort to Operate System Results In =
Pitched Battle-one Killed and a
Number Injured.

San Francisco, May S.-T'he strike
of the LOO union motormen and con
ductors of the United railroads de-
veloped into a riot, in which one man
was killed and more than score Of
persons were severely hurt
That the bloody events Of Tuesdays
street car riots may be repeated We'd
nesday with even more tragic results
was the fear expressed when it was
made known that the United railroads
programme for Wednesday included
another attempt to resume operations
of cars. This attempt, according to
General Manager Mullaly, will be
made some time in the forenoon. He
declined to state at what hour or to
discuss the company's plans.
Mr. Mullaly said that when attorneys
for the United railroads visited the
Central police station to request the
admittance to bail of the strike break
ers under arrest for shooting strikers
and their sympathizers, Chief of Po-
lice Dinan said:
"Wednesday l shall arm the police
with rifles. If any strike breakers
start any shooting from the cars they
will be shot in turn by the police"
81 can hardly credit this statement"
added Mr.. Mullaly, but it comes to me
direct and automatically"
Thirteen strike breakers were arrest
ed. Three Of them were released on
bail and the remainder were held
awaiting developments.
James Walsh, one of the strike SYM
pathizers who was shot, died at the
Central Emergency hospital. No hope
IS held out for the recovery Of Tom
Buchanan, one of the strikers, also at
the Central Emergency hospital. A
bullet penetrated his abdomen and
punctured the intestines 22 times.
At 2:30 o'clock the company made
its first attempt to resume the opera
tion of its system by sending out seven
passenger cars manned by between 80
and 40 strike breakers wearing the
uniform Of car inspectors, and each
carrying a 3S-caliber revolver strapped
around his waist outside of his coat.
The start was made from the COM
pany's barns at Turk and Fillmore
streets, where a crowd of from 5000
to 5000 men and boys had gathered.
Twenty-seven policemen, five mount
ed officers, and several sergeants, un-
der the command of Capt. Moon, were
OIL patrol guard.

RORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to tho,
Farmer and Dairyman.

A few years ago most anything
went" for milk or cream or butter so
long as it came originally from cow.
Now things are changed.
The public realizes, the dairyman
realizes and the farmer realizes that
there is just as much difference be-
tween milk from sweet utensils and
milk from stale" utensils as there is
between milk, and chalk and water
The problem of keeping sweet all
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest taint or hint of staleness left
in can, tin or churn may ruin whole
output; that the taint which is left is
in the form of bacteria which grow
and multiply in milk or butter, produc~
ing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot wa
ter won't rinse away the greasy resi-
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue Of it's own which is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
o dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery estab-
oh nnfc hnT no11n1 fV,fn
sultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon prod
uct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-Borax.
Scientists have long known Borax as
a cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness,
sweetness and purity, relieving the
dairyman and dairy housewife of
drudgery and of needless work and
worry.
It's cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities of every
dairy.
THE cows UDDER is kept in a
clean, healthy and smooth condition
by washing it with Borax and water,
a tablespoonful of Borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracked teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow and a
worry to the mixer.
THE MODERN CLEANSER of all
dairy utensils consist of-one table
spoonful of Borax to every quart Of
water needed. Remember table
spoonful equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that you get pure Borax. To
be sure, you must get "20 MULE
TEAM BORAX.", If you are unable to
get the "20 Mule Team" brand send US
your dealers name ana we will ar
range to supply you. Send for booklet.

STOMACH ON STRIKE
NOEeoR INDIGESTION.
Dr.. WfIiams' Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundrsds of Other Cases OF
Common Ailments

Common AilIIlS0lS
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, oad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling are
the svmptoms of stomach trouble. Iney
indicate that the stomach is ON strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers. 80.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach Is
humored by the use of predigested FOODS
and artificial ferments, and the new one
nv which the stomach is toned up to 90
the work which nature intended OF 1t.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment IS
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpo!e, OF 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
81 suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. l was under the
care of our family physician most OF the
time, but did not seem to get better.
"I was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the house.

heat. followed suddenly by chills. l

three to four days. could get but little
rest at night, as my sleep was broken
and fitful. AS a result l lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-

I heard about DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
started to take the pills at once and
began to gain in weight and health. l
was encouraged by this to keep on until
was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what changed woman l
am and owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases such as anRmia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.

all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt

GUESTS MAKE THE HOTEL.
Comfort" Of old-Tlme Inns Would
Not Be Tolerated To-day.

Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days, says the Hotel World. In these
articles the writer dilates and expiates
on the hospitality of the old-time taV-
ern and the cold, indifferent and al.
most cruel treatment received from
the hands of the modern hotel man.
OF course, everyone knows, if he will
drop sentiment for a moment and
give the subject little sober reflec-
ton, that the modern traveller, tour
list or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of one hundred years ago. The
only advantage of a hotel of these
times lay in the fact that the lack OF
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler a warmer fellow feeling and
greater sociability-a condition in
which one man was more his brothers
keeper than prevails to-day. Again,
the travel by coach and the small
number thrown together, en- route or
at the hotel, made closer acquaint-
anceship not only possible but far
more desirable than in our day of big
hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is a product OF
the times. The wants, desires, whims,
fads and, on top of all these, the i'm
perative demands of those who travel
have made the hotel of to-day what
it is from the standpoint of food, ac-
commodations, method Of service and
management, and from every point of
view. The hotel keeper of to-day
responds to the bidding of the
guests. One might almost say of the
man and woman who travel: Here
is your hotel; you have planned it,
furnished it; you have outlined its
methods of management, and it is
what you believe should be compre.
hended in the modern hotel
The colonial tavern, which would
not be tolerated for a moment in our
days, was adapted to it's times; to
speak of it as being superior to the
modern hostelry is to claim that the
old stage coach, which left you more
weary and worn at the end of 100
miles than the palace coach does to-
day at the end of 1000 miles, was a
superior vehicle of travel to those
used in the modern railroad.

Two new railroad lines have been
opened into the Congo Free State in
Africa. One runs from Stanley Falls,
where the River Congo ceases to be
navigable, in an easterly direction TO
Mahagi. on the Albert sea- distance
of 1,12O kilometers (kilometer, O.62
mile), and the other route starts from
Stanleyville, the city by the falls, and
running from north to south, partly by
boats on the navigable portions of the
upper Congo and partly by railway
for such portions of the stream as are
not navigable, ultimately is bound for
the district of Katanga, in the eX-

and gold fields. OF this latter line the
road was opened last autumn from
Stanleyville to Ponthierville and is
now in operation for a distance of 1877
