Alcohol For Incubator Lamps.

cubator lamps, we shall not lose SO
many chicks; he says

Dying in the Shell,' and it is very
timely. The cause is surely from the
fumes Of the lamp. The fumes fill

BIG IRRIGATION MEETING.
National Congress will Be Held in
California This Year.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 1S.-It is an
nounced here by the officials of the
National Irrigation congress and of the
California State. fair, that the dates of
these two events have been fxed to
cover the first two weeks of Septem-
Der. and that an interstate exposition
of irrigated lands products on a large
scale will be held, commencing with the
opening OF the Irrigation congress on
Monday, September 2, and continuing
until the close of the state fair, Satur-
day, September IA.
This will have the effect of making
the California State fair an interstate
fair. as far as agricultural products are
concerned, and it is altogether probable
that the live stock feature, too,a will be
made to include all the western states.
THE California State Fair, Interstate
Irrtgated-lands Products Exposition
and Western Stock Show is the name
that has been suggested for the big,
event, which will eclipse any similar eff
fort ever made in this state, with the
single exception of the Midwinter fair,
held in San Francisco several years ago
The board of control of the Fifteenth
National Irrigation congress will under
take to expend $4,000 providing for and
entertaining the cbngress. Two weeks
of enjoyment will be provided, and visi-
tors will be given the time of their lives.
The days of the session will be quiet,
in order that the, attention of the dele

days will be- full Of live programme

to meet the suggestion of Governor

today. It will work a serious loss to
the Rock Island railroad. The bill
provides that no road which has been

Nothing has been done toward COM

WHY THEY CAN'T AGREE.
Sullivan Says Missouri Pacific Boiler
makers Wanted Too Much.


r. Kansas City, Feb. 1s.-General Su-
perintendent E.. A. Gould, of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, is in receipt of a letter
from A.. w. Sullivan, general manager
of the company in which is outlined,
from the railroad managers point of
view, the troubles with the boiler
makers and blacksmiths on the road.
Both these classes of employees have
left their work because the company
refused to grant their demands for
higher wages, the boilermakers de-
manding a fiat increase of cent per
hour over a like increase granted
them last November, and the black
smiths holding out for a fiat increase
of Scent raise.
Mr.. Sullivan states that the offer
made to the boilermakers, If accepted,
would have given them a. wage sched-
ule equal to the highest paid in this
territory, and that the demands made
by them were for a schedule equal to
cent per hour more than is paid to
the machinists working for the COM
pany. He states that in the case of
the blacksmiths, an offer was made by
mate Scent increase and the same per
cent of Increase to blacksmith help
ers, making the schedule equal to any
in force, in this territory. but that the
offer was rejected, both blacksmiths
and helpers insisting on a fat 3-cent
increase, Increasing the former 10 per
cent and the latter 16 per cent over
present wages.

project, from Dodge City to Goodland,
said to be a Rock Island move, will be

sITTPPERs MUST. UNLOAD STOCK.
Railroads May. stop sendifig. s Along
Men to Help in the Work.

There is a movement on foot among
the roads of this territory and also in
tho southwest to inaugurate a new
rule on March Is to require shippers
of live stock in cars to load and I'M
load their freight without, the assist
ance of the railroads.. It has been the
custom with carload shipments of oat-
tie to send a representative of the
road along to care for the stock.
Railroad employees have assisted in
the work when necessary, but the
proposition now is to amend the live
stock tariff to provide that thesowners
be required to do their own loading
and unloading. 1t is understood that
this will be resented on the part of the
shippers of live stock, they figuring
that it is as much to the interests of
the road to see that the stock is
handled expeditiously and with as lit
tie trouble as possible as it is to theirs.
as 1t is essential to the interests of
both that the animals do not become

WAS HE MURDERED?
Doubt About the Manner of Death of
Coheyville Man.

OOHOyNuIe
Coffeyville, Kan. Feb. 1S.-The
body of E. E. Holt was found on the
Missouri Pacific tracks between here
and Deering Sunday. 1t had been run
over by the northbound passenger
train. At first it was believed to have
been an accident, but a close exami-
nation of his BODY showed bruises on
his head which apparently were
caused by blows from weapon of
some kind. The coroner will hold an
inquest today
Holt had considerable money at
Deering Saturday night, but when his
body was found there was less than
$40 in his pockets. He left Deering
with three men to walk to Coffeyville.
1t is said at Deering that the men with
Holt were trying to borrow money
from and that Sunday they had
money. The three men will be held
for investigation. A strange coin
cidenee Of the affair is that Hollis
sister. Mrs. D. M. Blair, died in this
city. after long illness, at almost the
same hour her brother met death on
the railroad. Holt was 40 years old
and had been employed at the Deering
Smelter.

Need $500, 600. 900 for Extension.

Chicago, Feb. ia conservative es-
innate of the amount required to carry
out railroad extensions and improve
ments now begun or urgently needed
fixes the sum at not less than $500, 0OO,-
600, and it Is said the expenditure of this,
money can not be put off longer than
next year. Where 1t is to- come from
is the question now bothering railroad
financiers, in view of the indisposition
of capitalists to invest their funds in
railroad securities. Among the items
which go to make UP the total amount
needed is one of $50, 100000 to $50, O0O,-
900 to complete the Milwaukee & St
Paul extension to the Pacific coast.
The Pennsylvania will have to raise AT
least SIC, 100000 to take care OF obliga-'
lions already outstanding. OF this
amount $50 100000 will fall due during
the current year, and $40, 900 900 more
will be needed early next year to pro-
vide for carrying on the tunnel work
that company now has in progress.
The Norfolk e. Western has prepared
and adopted plans for the expenditure
of $34.000000 in needed improvements.
Arrangements appear to have been
completed by J. ]. Hill for the raising
of the amount necessary to construct
5000 miles of new extensions this wear.
In fact, there is not road In any sec
tion Of the country which does not need
vast sums of money to bring 1t abreaet
